ON/OFF

This input provides an electrical ON/OFF control of the power supply. Connecting this pin to ground or to any

voltage less than 0.8V will completely turn OFF the regulator. The current drain from the input supply when OFF

is only 50

μA. The ON/OFF input has an internal pull-up current source of approximately 20μA and a protection

clamp zener diode of 7V to ground. When electrically driving the ON/OFF pin the high voltage level for the ON

condition should not exceed the 6V absolute maximum limit. When ON/OFF control is not required this pin

should be left open.

DAP (WSON PACKAGE)

The Die Attach Pad (DAP) can and should be connected to the PCB Ground plane/island. For CAD and

assembly guidelines refer to Application Note SNAO401 at http://www.ti.com/lit/an/snoa401/snoa401.pdf.

LM2672 Series Buck Regulator Design Procedure (Fixed Output)

PROCEDURE (Fixed Output Voltage Version)

EXAMPLE (Fixed Output Voltage Version)

To simplify the buck regulator design procedure, Texas Instruments

is making available computer design software to be used with the

SIMPLE SWITCHER line of switching regulators.LM267X Made

respectively). For all other voltages, see the design procedure for the

adjustable version.

manufacturer's inductors:

Schott: ferrite EP core inductors; these have very low leakage

magnetic fields to reduce electro-magnetic interference (EMI) and

are the lowest power loss inductors

Renco: ferrite stick core inductors; benefits are typically lowest cost

inductors and can withstand E•T and transient peak currents above

rated value. Be aware that these inductors have an external

magnetic field which may generate more EMI than other types of

inductors.

Pulse: powered iron toroid core inductors; these can also be low cost

and can withstand larger than normal E•T and transient peak

currents. Toroid inductors have low EMI.

Coilcraft: ferrite drum core inductors; these are the smallest physical

size inductors, available only as SMT components. Be aware that

these inductors also generate EMI—but less than stick inductors.

Complete specifications for these inductors are available from the

respective manufacturers. A table listing the manufacturers' phone

numbers is located in Table 2.
