LM2672MX-5.0/NOPB: A High-Efficiency Synchronous Step-Down Voltage Regulator

LM2672MX-5.0/NOPB is a specific variant of the LM2672, a high-efficiency synchronous step-down voltage regulator designed by Texas Instruments. This particular model, denoted by the suffix "5.0" and the additional "/NOPB," indicates that it is configured to provide a fixed output voltage of 5.0V and is lead (Pb)-free, making it suitable for applications where environmental compliance is a concern. The LM2672MX series is known for its ability to deliver up to 3A of continuous output current while maintaining high efficiency, typically over 90% at light loads. Its wide input voltage range (4.5V to 36V) makes it versatile for various power supply applications, including battery-powered systems or industrial designs. The device incorporates several protective features such as thermal shutdown and current limit, ensuring reliable operation under varying conditions. Additionally, the LM2672MX-5.0/NOPB comes in an easy-to-use 5-pin D2PAK package, which facilitates efficient heat dissipation and compact board design. Its pin configuration and control features make it a popular choice for engineers looking to implement robust and efficient power management solutions in their projects.
