LM2673  
SIMPLE SWITCHER® 3A Step-Down Voltage Regulator with  
Adjustable Current Limit  
General Description  
Features  
The LM2673 series of regulators are monolithic integrated  
circuits which provide all of the active functions for a step-  
down (buck) switching regulator capable of driving up to 3A  
loads with excellent line and load regulation characteristics.  
High efficiency (>90%) is obtained through the use of a low  
ON-resistance DMOS power switch. The series consists of  
fixed output voltages of 3.3V, 5V and 12V and an adjustable  
output version.  
Efficiency up to 94%  
Simple and easy to design with (using off-the-shelf  
external components)  
Resistor programmable peak current limit over a range of  
2A to 5A.  
150 mΩ DMOS output switch  
3.3V, 5V and 12V fixed output and adjustable (1.2V to  
37V ) versions  
The SIMPLE SWITCHER concept provides for a complete  
design using a minimum number of external components. A  
high fixed frequency oscillator (260KHz) allows the use of  
physically smaller sized components. A family of standard in-  
ductors for use with the LM2673 are available from several  
manufacturers to greatly simplify the design process.  
±2%maximum output tolerance over full line and load  
conditions  
Wide input voltage range: 8V to 40V  
260 KHz fixed frequency internal oscillator  
Softstart capability  
Other features include the ability to reduce the input surge  
current at power-ON by adding a softstart timing capacitor to  
gradually turn on the regulator. The LM2673 series also has  
built in thermal shutdown and resistor programmable current  
limit of the power MOSFET switch to protect the device and  
load circuitry under fault conditions. The output voltage is  
guaranteed to a ±2% tolerance. The clock frequency is con-  
trolled to within a ±11% tolerance.  
−40 to +125°C operating junction temperature range

such as those implemented with the LM2673, it is recom-  
mended that a broad ground plane be used to minimize signal  
coupling throughout the circuit  
Application Hints  
The LM2673 provides all of the active functions required for  
a step-down (buck) switching regulator. The internal power  
switch is a DMOS power MOSFET to provide power supply  
designs with high current capability, up to 3A, and highly ef-  
ficient operation.  
CURRENT ADJUST  
A key feature of the LM2673 is the ability to tailor the peak  
switch current limit to a level required by a particular applica-  
tion. This alleviates the need to use external components that  
must be physically sized to accommodate current levels (un-  
der shorted output conditions for example) that may be much  
higher than the normal circuit operating current requirements.  
The LM2673 is part of the SIMPLE SWITCHER family of  
power converters. A complete design uses a minimum num-  
ber of external components, which have been pre-determined  
from a variety of manufacturers. Using either this data sheet  
or a design software program called LM267X Made Simple  
(version 2.0) a complete switching power supply can be de-  
signed quickly. The software is provided free of charge and  
can be downloaded from National Semiconductor's Internet  
site located at http://www.national.com.  
A resistor connected from pin 5 to ground establishes a cur-  
rent (I(pin 5) = 1.2V / RADJ) that sets the peak current through  
the power switch. The maximum switch current is fixed at a  
level of 37,125 / RADJ  
.
FEEDBACK  
SWITCH OUTPUT  
This is the input to a two-stage high gain amplifier, which  
drives the PWM controller. It is necessary to connect pin 6 to  
the actual output of the power supply to set the dc output volt-  
age. For the fixed output devices (3.3V, 5V and 12V outputs),  
a direct wire connection to the output is all that is required as  
internal gain setting resistors are provided inside the LM2673.  
For the adjustable output version two external resistors are  
required to set the dc output voltage. For stable operation of  
the power supply it is important to prevent coupling of any  
inductor flux to the feedback input.  
This is the output of a power MOSFET switch connected di-  
rectly to the input voltage. The switch provides energy to an  
inductor, an output capacitor and the load circuitry under con-  
trol of an internal pulse-width-modulator (PWM). The PWM  
controller is internally clocked by a fixed 260KHz oscillator. In  
a standard step-down application the duty cycle (Time ON/  
Time OFF) of the power switch is proportional to the ratio of  
the power supply output voltage to the input voltage. The volt-  
age on pin 1 switches between Vin (switch ON) and below  
ground by the voltage drop of the external Schottky diode  
(switch OFF).  
SOFTSTART  
A capacitor connected from pin 7 to ground allows for a slow  
turn-on of the switching regulator. The capacitor sets a time  
delay to gradually increase the duty cycle of the internal power  
switch. This can significantly reduce the amount of surge cur-  
rent required from the input supply during an abrupt applica-  
tion of the input voltage. If softstart is not required this pin  
should be left open circuited. Please see the CSS softstart ca-  
pacitor section for further information regarding softstart ca-  
pacitor values.  
INPUT  
The input voltage for the power supply is connected to pin 2.  
In addition to providing energy to the load the input voltage  
also provides bias for the internal circuitry of the LM2673. For  
guaranteed performance the input voltage must be in the  
range of 8V to 40V. For best performance of the power supply  
the input pin should always be bypassed with an input ca-  
pacitor located close to pin 2.  
C BOOST  
DAP (LLP PACKAGE)  
A capacitor must be connected from pin 3 to the switch output,  
pin 1. This capacitor boosts the gate drive to the internal  
MOSFET above Vin to fully turn it ON. This minimizes con-  
duction losses in the power switch to maintain high efficiency.  
The recommended value for C Boost is 0.01μF.  
The Die Attach Pad (DAP) can and should be connected to  
PCB Ground plane/island. For CAD and assembly guidelines

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS  
10091323  
FIGURE 1. Basic circuit for fixed output voltage applications.  
10091324  
FIGURE 2. Basic circuit for adjustable output voltage applications  
Power supply design using the LM2673 is greatly simplified  
by using recommended external components. A wide range  
of inductors, capacitors and Schottky diodes from several  
manufacturers have been evaluated for use in designs that  
cover the full range of capabilities (input voltage, output volt-  
age and load current) of the LM2673. A simple design proce-  
dure using nomographs and component tables provided in  
this data sheet leads to a working design with very little effort.  
Alternatively, the design software, LM267X Made Simple  
(version 6.0), can also be used to provide instant component  
selection, circuit performance calculations for evaluation, a  
bill of materials component list and a circuit schematic.  
INDUCTOR  
The individual components from the various manufacturers  
called out for use are still just a small sample of the vast array  
of components available in the industry. While these compo-  
nents are recommended, they are not exclusively the only  
components for use in a design. After a close comparison of  
component specifications, equivalent devices from other  
manufacturers could be substituted for use in an application.  
Important considerations for each external component and an  
explanation of how the nomographs and selection tables were  
developed follows.  
current flowing through the inductor never falls to zero). The  
magnitude of inductance is selected to maintain a maximum  
ripple current of 30% of the maximum load current. If the ripple  
current exceeds this 30% limit the next larger value is select-  
ed.  
The inductor is the key component in a switching regulator.  
For efficiency the inductor stores energy during the switch ON  
time and then transfers energy to the load while the switch is  
OFF.  
The inductors offered have been specifically manufactured to  
provide proper operation under all operating conditions of in-  
put and output voltage and load current. Several part types  
Nomographs are used to select the inductance value required  
for a given set of operating conditions. The nomographs as-  
sume that the circuit is operating in continuous mode (the  
www.national.com  
10  
 
are offered for a given amount of inductance. Both surface  
mount and through-hole devices are available. The inductors  
from each of the three manufacturers have unique character-  
istics.  
INPUT CAPACITOR  
Fast changing currents in high current switching regulators  
place a significant dynamic load on the unregulated power  
source. An input capacitor helps to provide additional current  
to the power supply as well as smooth out input voltage vari-  
ations.  
Renco: ferrite stick core inductors; benefits are typically low-  
est cost and can withstand ripple and transient peak currents  
above the rated value. These inductors have an external  
magnetic field, which may generate EMI.  
Like the output capacitor, the key specifications for the input  
capacitor are RMS current rating and working voltage. The  
RMS current flowing through the input capacitor is equal to  
one-half of the maximum dc load current so the capacitor  
should be rated to handle this. Paralleling multiple capacitors  
proportionally increases the current rating of the total capac-  
itance. The voltage rating should also be selected to be 1.3  
times the maximum input voltage. Depending on the unregu-  
lated input power source, under light load conditions the  
maximum input voltage could be significantly higher than nor-  
mal operation and should be considered when selecting an  
input capacitor.  
Pulse Engineering: powdered iron toroid core inductors;  
these also can withstand higher than rated currents and, be-  
ing toroid inductors, will have low EMI.  
Coilcraft: ferrite drum core inductors; these are the smallest  
physical size inductors and are available only as surface  
mount components. These inductors also generate EMI but  
less than stick inductors.  
OUTPUT CAPACITOR  
The output capacitor acts to smooth the dc output voltage and  
also provides energy storage. Selection of an output capaci-  
tor, with an associated equivalent series resistance (ESR),  
impacts both the amount of output ripple voltage and stability  
of the control loop.  
The input capacitor should be placed very close to the input  
pin of the LM2673. Due to relative high current operation with  
fast transient changes, the series inductance of input con-  
necting wires or PCB traces can create ringing signals at the  
input terminal which could possibly propagate to the output or  
other parts of the circuitry. It may be necessary in some de-  
signs to add a small valued (0.1μF to 0.47μF) ceramic type  
capacitor in parallel with the input capacitor to prevent or min-  
imize any ringing.  
The output ripple voltage of the power supply is the product  
of the capacitor ESR and the inductor ripple current. The ca-  
pacitor types recommended in the tables were selected for  
having low ESR ratings.  
In addition, both surface mount tantalum capacitors and  
through-hole aluminum electrolytic capacitors are offered as  
solutions.  
CATCH DIODE  
When the power switch in the LM2673 turns OFF, the current  
through the inductor continues to flow. The path for this cur-  
rent is through the diode connected between the switch output  
and ground. This forward biased diode clamps the switch out-  
put to a voltage less than ground. This negative voltage must  
be greater than −1V so a low voltage drop (particularly at high  
current levels) Schottky diode is recommended. Total effi-  
ciency of the entire power supply is significantly impacted by  
the power lost in the output catch diode. The average current  
through the catch diode is dependent on the switch duty cycle  
(D) and is equal to the load current times (1-D). Use of a diode  
rated for much higher current than is required by the actual  
application helps to minimize the voltage drop and power loss  
in the diode.  
Impacting frequency stability of the overall control loop, the  
output capacitance, in conjunction with the inductor, creates  
a double pole inside the feedback loop. In addition the ca-  
pacitance and the ESR value create a zero. These frequency  
response effects together with the internal frequency com-  
pensation circuitry of the LM2673 modify the gain and phase  
shift of the closed loop system.  
As a general rule for stable switching regulator circuits it is  
desired to have the unity gain bandwidth of the circuit to be  
limited to no more than one-sixth of the controller switching  
frequency. With the fixed 260KHz switching frequency of the  
LM2673, the output capacitor is selected to provide a unity  
gain bandwidth of 40KHz maximum. Each recommended ca-  
pacitor value has been chosen to achieve this result.  
During the switch ON time the diode will be reversed biased  
by the input voltage. The reverse voltage rating of the diode  
should be at least 1.3 times greater than the maximum input  
voltage.  
In some cases multiple capacitors are required either to re-  
duce the ESR of the output capacitor, to minimize output  
ripple (a ripple voltage of 1% of Vout or less is the assumed  
performance condition), or to increase the output capacitance  
to reduce the closed loop unity gain bandwidth (to less than  
40KHz). When parallel combinations of capacitors are re-  
quired it has been assumed that each capacitor is the exact  
same part type.  
BOOST CAPACITOR  
The boost capacitor creates a voltage used to overdrive the  
gate of the internal power MOSFET. This improves efficiency  
by minimizing the on resistance of the switch and associated  
power loss. For all applications it is recommended to use a  
0.01μF/50V ceramic capacitor.  
The RMS current and working voltage (WV) ratings of the  
output capacitor are also important considerations. In a typi-  
cal step-down switching regulator, the inductor ripple current  
(set to be no more than 30% of the maximum load current by  
the inductor selection) is the current that flows through the  
output capacitor. The capacitor RMS current rating must be  
greater than this ripple current. The voltage rating of the out-  
put capacitor should be greater than 1.3 times the maximum  
output voltage of the power supply. If operation of the system  
at elevated temperatures is required, the capacitor voltage  
rating may be de-rated to less than the nominal room tem-  
perature rating. Careful inspection of the manufacturer's  
specification for de-rating of working voltage with temperature  
is important.  
RADJ, ADJUSTABLE CURRENT LIMIT  
A key feature of the LM2673 is the ability to control the peak  
switch current. Without this feature the peak switch current  
would be internally set to 5A or higher to accommodate 3A  
load current designs. This requires that both the inductor  
(which could saturate with excessively high currents) and the  
catch diode be able to safely handle up to 5A which would be  
conducted under load fault conditions.  
If an application only requires a load current of 2A or so the  
peak switch current can be set to a limit just over the maxi-  
mum load current with the addition of a single programming  
resistor. This allows the use of less powerful and more cost  
effective inductors and diodes.  
11  
www.national.com  
The peak switch current is equal to a factor of 37,125 divided  
by RADJ. A resistance of 8.2KΩ sets the current limit to typi-  
cally 4.5A. For predictable control of the current limit it is  
recommended to keep the peak switch current greater than  
1A. For lower current applications 500mA and 1A switching  
regulators, the LM2674 and LM2672, are available.  
subharmonic oscillations, which could cause the inductor  
to saturate.  
3. Thereafter, once the inductor current falls below the  
current limit threshold, there is a small relaxation time  
during which the duty cycle progressively rises back  
above 50% to the value required to achieve regulation.  
When the power switch reaches the current limit threshold it  
is immediately turned OFF and the internal switching fre-  
quency is reduced. This extends the OFF time of the switch  
to prevent a steady state high current condition. As the switch  
current falls below the current limit threshold, the switch will  
turn back ON. If a load fault continues, the switch will again  
exceed the threshold and switch back OFF. This will result in  
a low duty cycle pulsing of the power switch to minimize the  
overall fault condition power dissipation.  
If the output capacitance is sufficiently ‘large’, it may be pos-  
sible that as the output tries to recover, the output capacitor  
charging current is large enough to repeatedly re-trigger the  
current limit circuit before the output has fully settled. This  
condition is exacerbated with higher output voltage settings  
because the energy requirement of the output capacitor  
varies as the square of the output voltage (½CV2), thus re-  
quiring an increased charging current.  
A simple test to determine if this condition might exist for a  
suspect application is to apply a short circuit across the output  
of the converter, and then remove the shorted output condi-  
tion. In an application with properly selected external compo-  
nents, the output will recover smoothly.  
Css SOFTSTART CAPACITOR  
This optional capacitor controls the rate at which the LM2673  
starts up at power on. The capacitor is charged linearly by an  
internal current source. This voltage ramp gradually increas-  
es the duty cycle of the power switch until it reaches the  
normal operating duty cycle defined primarily by the ratio of  
the output voltage to the input voltage. The softstart turn-on  
time is programmable by the selection of Css.  
Practical values of external components that have been ex-  
perimentally found to work well under these specific operating  
conditions are COUT = 47µF, L = 22µH. It should be noted that  
even with these components, for a device’s current limit of  
ICLIM, the maximum load current under which the possibility of  
the large current limit hysteresis can be minimized is ICLIM/2.  
For example, if the input is 24V and the set output voltage is  
18V, then for a desired maximum current of 1.5A, the current  
limit of the chosen switcher must be confirmed to be at least  
3A.  
The formula for selecting a softstart capacitor is:  
Where:  
SIMPLE DESIGN PROCEDURE  
ISST = Softstart Current, 3.7μA typical  
Using the nomographs and tables in this data sheet (or use  
the available design software at http://www.national.com) a  
complete step-down regulator can be designed in a few sim-  
ple steps.  
tSS = Softstart time, from design requirements  
VSST = Softstart Threshold Voltage, 0.63V typical  
VOUT = Output Voltage, from design requirements  
VSCHOTTKY = Schottky Diode Voltage Drop, typically 0.5V  
VIN = Maximum Input Voltage, from design requirements  
Step 1: Define the power supply operating conditions:  
Required output voltage  
Maximum DC input voltage  
If this feature is not desired, leave the Softstart pin (pin 7)  
open circuited  
Maximum output load current  
Step 2: Set the output voltage by selecting a fixed output  
LM2673 (3.3V, 5V or 12V applications) or determine the re-  
quired feedback resistors for use with the adjustable LM2673  
−ADJ  
With certain softstart capacitor values and operating condi-  
tions, the LM2673 can exhibit an overshoot on the output  
voltage during turn on. Especially when starting up into no  
load or low load, the softstart function may not be effective in  
preventing a larger voltage overshoot on the output. With  
larger loads or lower input voltages during startup this effect  
is minimized. In particular, avoid using softstart capacitors  
between 0.033µF and 1µF.  
Step 3: Determine the inductor required by using one of the  
four nomographs, Figure 3 through Figure 6. Table 1 provides  
a specific manufacturer and part number for the inductor.  
Step 4: Using Table 3 (fixed output voltage) or Table 6 (ad-  
justable output voltage), determine the output capacitance  
required for stable operation. Table 2 provides the specific  
capacitor type from the manufacturer of choice.  
ADDITIONAL APPLICATION INFORMATION  
When the output voltage is greater than approximately 6V,  
and the duty cycle at minimum input voltage is greater than  
approximately 50%, the designer should exercise caution in  
selection of the output filter components. When an application  
designed to these specific operating conditions is subjected  
to a current limit fault condition, it may be possible to observe  
a large hysteresis in the current limit. This can affect the out-  
put voltage of the device until the load current is reduced  
sufficiently to allow the current limit protection circuit to reset  
itself.  
Step 5: Determine an input capacitor from Table 4 for fixed  
output voltage applications. Use Table 2 to find the specific  
capacitor type. For adjustable output circuits select a capac-  
itor from Table 2 with a sufficient working voltage (WV) rating  
greater than Vin max, and an rms current rating greater than  
one-half the maximum load current (2 or more capacitors in  
parallel may be required).  
Step 6: Select a diode from Table 5. The current rating of the  
diode must be greater than I load max and the Reverse Volt-  
age rating must be greater than Vin max.  
Under current limiting conditions, the LM267x is designed to  
respond in the following manner:  
1. At the moment when the inductor current reaches the  
current limit threshold, the ON-pulse is immediately  
terminated. This happens for any application condition.  
Step 7: Include a 0.01μF/50V capacitor for Cboost in the de-  
sign and then determine the value of a softstart capacitor if  
desired.  
2. However, the current limit block is also designed to  
momentarily reduce the duty cycle to below 50% to avoid  
Step 8: Define a value for RADJ to set the peak switch current  
limit to be at least 20% greater than Iout max to allow for at  
www.national.com  
12  
least 30% inductor ripple current (±15% of Iout). For designs  
that must operate over the full temperature range the switch  
current limit should be set to at least 50% greater than Iout  
max (1.5 x Iout max).  
Using the formula for Css a value of 0.148μF is determined  
to be required. Use of a standard value 0.22μF capacitor will  
produce more than sufficient softstart delay.  
Step 8: Determine a value for RADJ to provide a peak switch  
current limit of at least 2.5A plus 50% or 3.75A.  
FIXED OUTPUT VOLTAGE DESIGN EXAMPLE  
A system logic power supply bus of 3.3V is to be generated  
from a wall adapter which provides an unregulated DC volt-  
age of 13V to 16V. The maximum load current is 2.5A. A  
softstart delay time of 50mS is desired. Through-hole com-  
ponents are preferred.  
Use a value of 10KΩ.  
ADJUSTABLE OUTPUT DESIGN EXAMPLE  
Step 1: Operating conditions are:  
Vout = 3.3V  
In this example it is desired to convert the voltage from a two  
battery automotive power supply (voltage range of 20V to  
28V, typical in large truck applications) to the 14.8VDC alter-  
nator supply typically used to power electronic equipment  
from single battery 12V vehicle systems. The load current re-  
quired is 2A maximum. It is also desired to implement the  
power supply with all surface mount components. Softstart is  
not required.  
Vin max = 16V  
Iload max = 2.5A  
Step 2: Select an LM2673T-3.3. The output voltage will have  
a tolerance of  
±2% at room temperature and ±3% over the full operating  
temperature range.  
Step 1: Operating conditions are:  
Vout = 14.8V  
Step 3: Use the nomograph for the 3.3V device ,Figure 3. The  
intersection of the 16V horizontal line (Vin max) and the 2.5A  
vertical line (Iload max) indicates that L33, a 22μH inductor, is  
required.  
Vin max = 28V  
Iload max = 2A  
From Table 1, L33 in a through-hole component is available  
from Renco with part number RL-1283-22-43 or part number  
PE-53933 from Pulse Engineering.  
Step 2: Select an LM2673S-ADJ. To set the output voltage  
to 14.9V two resistors need to be chosen (R1 and R2 in Figure  
2). For the adjustable device the output voltage is set by the  
following relationship:  
Step 4: Use Table 3 to determine an output capacitor. With a  
3.3V output and a 33μH inductor there are four through-hole  
output capacitor solutions with the number of same type ca-  
pacitors to be paralleled and an identifying capacitor code  
given. Table 2 provides the actual capacitor characteristics.  
Any of the following choices will work in the circuit:  
Where VFB is the feedback voltage of typically 1.21V.  
1 x 220μF/10V Sanyo OS-CON (code C5)  
1 x 1000μF/35V Sanyo MV-GX (code C10)  
1 x 2200μF/10V Nichicon PL (code C5)  
1 x 1000μF/35V Panasonic HFQ (code C7)  
A recommended value to use for R1 is 1K. In this example  
then R2 is determined to be:  
Step 5: Use Table 4 to select an input capacitor. With 3.3V  
output and 22μH there are three through-hole solutions.  
These capacitors provide a sufficient voltage rating and an  
rms current rating greater than 1.25A (1/2 Iload max). Again  
using Table 2 for specific component characteristics the fol-  
lowing choices are suitable:  
R2 = 11.23KΩ  
The closest standard 1% tolerance value to use is 11.3KΩ  
This will set the nominal output voltage to 14.88V which is  
within 0.5% of the target value.  
1 x 1000μF/63V Sanyo MV-GX (code C14)  
1 x 820μF/63V Nichicon PL (code C24)  
1 x 560μF/50V Panasonic HFQ (code C13)  
Step 6: From Table 5 a 3A or more Schottky diode must be  
selected. The 20V rated diodes are sufficient for the applica-  
tion and for through-hole components two part types are  
suitable:  
Step 3: To use the nomograph for the adjustable device, Fig-  
ure 6, requires a calculation of the inductor Volt•microsecond  
constant (E•T expressed in V•μS) from the following formula:  
1N5820  
SR302  
where VSAT is the voltage drop across the internal power  
switch which is Rds(ON) times Iload. In this example this would  
be typically 0.15Ω x 2A or 0.3V and VD is the voltage drop  
across the forward bisased Schottky diode, typically 0.5V.  
The switching frequency of 260KHz is the nominal value to  
use to estimate the ON time of the switch during which energy  
is stored in the inductor.  
Step 7: A 0.01μF capacitor will be used for Cboost. For the  
50mS softstart delay the following parameters are to be used:  
ISST: 3.7μA  
tSS: 50mS  
VSST: 0.63V  
VOUT: 3.3V  
VSCHOTTKY: 0.5V  
VIN: 16V  
For this example E•T is found to be:  
Using Vin max ensures that the softstart delay time will be at  
least the desired 50mS.  
13  
www.national.com  
Using Figure 6, the intersection of 27V•μS horizontally and  
the 2A vertical line (Iload max) indicates that L38 , a 68μH in-  
ductor, should be used.  
Step 6: From Table 5 a 3A Schottky diode must be selected.  
For surface mount diodes with a margin of safety on the volt-  
age rating one of five diodes can be used:  
From Table 1, L38 in a surface mount component is available  
from Pulse Engineering with part number PE-54038S.  
SK34  
30BQ040  
Step 4: Use Table 6 to determine an output capacitor. With a  
14.8V output the 12.5 to 15V row is used and with a 68μH  
inductor there are three surface mount output capacitor solu-  
tions. Table 2 provides the actual capacitor characteristics  
based on the C Code number. Any of the following choices  
can be used:  
30WQ04F  
MBRS340  
MBRD340  
Step 7: A 0.01μF capacitor will be used for Cboost.  
The softstart pin will be left open circuited.  
1 x 33μF/20V AVX TPS (code C6)  
1 x 47μF/20V Sprague 594 (code C8)  
1 x 47μF/20V Kemet T495 (code C8)  
Step 8: Determine a value for RADJ to provide a peak switch  
current limit of at least 2A plus 50% or 3A.  
Important Note: When using the adjustable device in low  
voltage applications (less than 3V output), if the nomograph,  
Figure 6, selects an inductance of 22μH or less, Table 6 does  
not provide an output capacitor solution. With these condi-  
tions the number of output capacitors required for stable  
operation becomes impractical. It is recommended to use ei-  
ther a 33μH or 47μH inductor and the output capacitors from  
Table 6.  
Use a value of 12.4KΩ.  
LLP PACKAGE DEVICES  
The LM2673 is offered in the 14 lead LLP surface mount  
package to allow for a significantly decreased footprint with  
equivalent power dissipation compared to the TO-263. For  
details on mounting and soldering specifications, refer to Ap-  
plication Note AN-1187.  
Step 5: An input capacitor for this example will require at least  
a 35V WV rating with an rms current rating of 1A (1/2 Iout  
max). From Table 2 it can be seen that C12, a 33μF/35V ca-  
pacitor from Sprague, has the required voltage/current rating  
of the surface mount components.
