Key Features
- Current-mode PWM control with cycle-by-cycle overcurrent limiting provides inherent peak current protection for low-side switching topologies from 5 V to 18 V input
- High efficiency switching regulator control supports boost, flyback, and SEPIC converter topologies with external MOSFET selection for power level optimization
- 10-pin QFN leadless package with 3 mm × 3 mm footprint enables compact PCB layout for space-constrained industrial and consumer power supply designs
Applications
LM3017LEX/NOPB is designed for boost converters generating 12 V or 24 V rails from 5 V USB or battery inputs, LED backlight drivers, and low-power flyback auxiliaries in industrial and consumer electronics. Its current-mode control with external MOSFET allows flexible power scaling from milliwatt sensor node supplies up to multi-watt LED driver circuits operating from 5 V to 18 V sources. The Pb-free 10-pin QFN package supports modern lead-free PCB assembly processes in space-constrained IoT gateway and handheld instrument power stages.

Frequently Asked Questions
What input voltage range does LM3017LEX/NOPB support and which battery chemistries is it compatible with?
LM3017LEX/NOPB operates from 5 V to 18 V input with 12 V nominal, supporting 1-cell LiPo batteries (3.7 V to 4.2 V) through a boost pre-stage, 9 V alkaline supplies, and regulated 5 V or 12 V rails from USB or AC adapters. The 18 V maximum handles lead-acid 12 V battery float charge voltages of up to 14.4 V without overvoltage stress.
How does current-mode control on LM3017LEX/NOPB protect the external MOSFET from overcurrent events?
LM3017LEX/NOPB uses cycle-by-cycle current-mode control that senses peak inductor current via a sense resistor and terminates each PWM pulse when the current reaches the programmed threshold. This limits MOSFET drain current to the set peak value within a single switching cycle, preventing saturation and failure without requiring a slower external fuse or hiccup-mode soft recovery circuit.
Which converter topologies can LM3017LEX/NOPB control for a 5 V to 12 V boost application?
LM3017LEX/NOPB supports boost, flyback, and SEPIC converter topologies using a low-side switching gate drive. For a 5 V input to 12 V output boost converter at 500 mA load, a single external N-channel MOSFET and inductor selected for a 300 kHz to 600 kHz switching frequency achieves over 90% efficiency using LM3017LEX/NOPB current-mode control.
What are the PCB footprint dimensions of LM3017LEX/NOPB and how does the QFN package aid thermal management?
LM3017LEX/NOPB uses a 10-pin QFN leadless package with a 3 mm × 3 mm body and exposed thermal pad, providing low junction-to-board thermal resistance for the switching controller IC itself. The leadless QFN footprint reduces parasitic inductance on gate drive traces, improving EMI performance versus SOIC packages in high-frequency switching controller layouts above 300 kHz.
