Product details
Overview
A8653KLPTR-T from Allegro MicroSystems is a wide-input synchronous buck regulator with integrated high-side (80 mΩ) and low-side (55 mΩ) MOSFETs, delivering up to 2.6 A continuous output current at 5 V. It features remote load regulation via programmable cable-drop compensation (±2% accuracy at 500 mV correction), dynamic overvoltage protection with load-dependent threshold, and automotive-grade AEC-Q100 qualification. It targets USB power delivery in automotive rear-seat entertainment and navigation systems.
For engineers reviewing the A8653KLPTR-T datasheet, A8653KLPTR-T pinout, A8653KLPTR-T application, or A8653KLPTR-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4–36 V input range, 100 kHz–2.2 MHz adjustable switching frequency, remote-sense-enabled ±2% load regulation accuracy, and integrated hiccup-mode OCP/thermal shutdown-critical for robust USB port designs under varying wiring harness conditions.
Technical Context
The A8653KLPTR-T implements peak current-mode control with transconductance error amplifier (750 µA/V typ), enabling fast transient response and stable operation with ceramic output capacitors. Its remote load regulation architecture uses differential current sensing (ISEN+/ISEN−) and user-programmable gain via GADJ/IADJ pins to dynamically adjust the feedback reference voltage based on measured load current and known wiring resistance.
Protection logic integrates pulse-by-pulse current limiting (4 A typ at tON(MIN)), dynamic OVP with correction-voltage tracking, 115% regulated voltage clamp, and open-circuit/short-to-ground tolerance on all pins. The device sustains operation down to 2.6 V VIN (UVLO stop) and supports pre-bias startup and frequency dithering for EMI reduction.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 2.6 A continuous - sufficient for USB 3.0 charging compliance without external boost stages. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4 V to 36 V - supports 12 V automotive battery systems including cold-crank (down to 2.6 V UVLO stop). |
| Switching Frequency | 100 kHz to 2.2 MHz - adjustable via RFSET resistor or external SYNC clock; enables layout-optimized EMI control. |
| Remote Load Regulation Accuracy | ±2% at 500 mV correction - achieves tight end-point voltage regulation across variable wiring harness IR drops. |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 34 °C/W - validated on 4-layer JEDEC PCB; enables 2.6 A operation without forced airflow in LP package. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 800 mV ±1% (–40°C to 125°C) - sets base output voltage; programmable from 3.3 V to 5.75 V via FB divider. |
| Protection Features | Dynamic OVP, hiccup-mode short-circuit, thermal shutdown (170°C trip), and pin-level short-to-ground tolerance - meets ASIL-B readiness for infotainment power rails. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin eTSSOP (suffix LP), 4.4 mm × 5 mm, 1.2 mm nominal height, with exposed thermal pad (PAD) requiring ≥6 vias to PGND plane for thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN (Pin 1) | Enable input | Active-high logic control; connects directly to VIN or microcontroller GPIO; 1.41 V typical rising threshold. |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Main power input | Supplies control circuitry and high-side MOSFET drain; requires local 2×4.7 µF ceramic decoupling. |
| SS (Pin 3) | Soft-start timing node | Capacitor-to-GND sets soft-start ramp time and hiccup period; sinks 2.2 µA during fault recovery. |
| GADJ (Pin 4) | Gain adjustment for remote regulation | Resistor-to-GND sets correction gain; grounding disables remote load regulation entirely. |
| FB (Pin 5) | Negative feedback input | Connects to resistor divider from VOUT; internal 800 mV reference defines output voltage setpoint. |
| IADJ (Pin 6) | Load-side current limit programming | Resistor-to-GND sets foldback current limit (3 A typ for A8653); also inversely scales voltage correction gain. |
| SGND (Pin 7) | Signal ground reference | Separate quiet ground for analog circuitry; must be star-connected to avoid noise coupling into FB/ISEN paths. |
| COMP (Pin 8) | Error amplifier output & compensation node | Connects external RC network for loop stability; transconductance 750 µA/V ensures robust phase margin. |
| SYNC/FSET (Pin 9) | Frequency setting/synchronization input | Resistor-to-GND sets fSW; accepts external clock 100 kHz–2.2 MHz with 10 ns rise/fall time compliance. |
| POK (Pin 10) | Power OK open-drain output | Asserts high-impedance when VOUT within ±3% and no current-limit condition; 7 PWM-cycle delay. |
| ISEN− (Pin 11) | Negative current sense input | Connects to load side of RSEN (20 mΩ typical); differential input with ±0.3 V max common-mode range. |
| ISEN+ (Pin 12) | Positive current sense input | Connects to inductor side of RSEN; OV threshold 5.65 V ensures robustness against load transients. |
| PGND (Pins 13,14) | Power ground return | High-current return path for MOSFETs and inductor; must be low-inductance copper pour tied to PAD. |
| SW (Pin 15) | Switch node | Drives external inductor; requires minimal trace length and wide copper; internal clamp diodes to VIN/GND. |
| BOOT (Pin 16) | High-side gate drive bootstrap | 100 nF ceramic capacitor to SW provides floating bias for high-side MOSFET; 5.5 V max rating. |
| PAD | Exposed thermal pad | Must be soldered to solid GND plane with ≥6 thermal vias; primary path for heat dissipation (RθJA = 34 °C/W). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPQ4332GQ-AEC1 | 2.5 A output, 3.3–36 V input, no remote load regulation; requires external current sense for cable compensation. | Lacks integrated remote regulation - needs additional op-amp circuitry and layout complexity to match A8653KLPTR-T's ±2% load accuracy. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs wiring-harness compensation needs and external components are acceptable. |
| TPS54560QDGQRQ1 | 5.5 A output, 3.5–60 V input, adjustable current limit but no dynamic OVP or programmable correction gain. | Higher current capability but no built-in remote regulation algorithm - cannot achieve same end-point voltage accuracy without custom firmware control. | Select for higher-power infotainment subsystems where headroom matters more than harness-aware regulation. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the A8653KLPTR-T?
The A8653KLPTR-T delivers 2.6 A continuous output current at 5 V under typical thermal conditions (RθJA = 34 °C/W, 4-layer PCB). This rating assumes proper thermal design with the exposed pad soldered to a solid ground plane using ≥6 vias. Derating applies above 85°C ambient or with reduced copper area.
How does remote load regulation work in the A8653KLPTR-T?
The A8653KLPTR-T implements remote load regulation by measuring load current via ISEN+/ISEN− pins and adjusting the FB reference voltage using a user-programmable gain set by resistors on GADJ and IADJ pins. This compensates for wiring harness IR drop, achieving ±2% accuracy at the load point without physical remote sense traces.
Can the A8653KLPTR-T operate during automotive cold-crank conditions?
Yes. The A8653KLPTR-T remains operational down to 2.6 V input (UVLO stop threshold), supporting engine cranking scenarios where battery voltage dips below 6 V. Its wide 4–36 V input range and pre-bias startup capability ensure uninterrupted power to connected USB devices during cold-crank events.
What protection features does the A8653KLPTR-T include?
The A8653KLPTR-T integrates pulse-by-pulse current limiting, hiccup-mode short-circuit protection, dynamic overvoltage protection with load-dependent threshold, thermal shutdown (170°C trip), and pin-level open-circuit/short-to-ground tolerance on all I/O pins-meeting stringent automotive reliability requirements.
Is the A8653KLPTR-T pin-compatible with the A8652KLPTR-T?
Yes. The A8653KLPTR-T and A8652KLPTR-T share identical 16-pin eTSSOP (LP) packaging, pinout, and functional interface. They differ only in current capability (2.6 A vs. 1 A) and internal MOSFET RDS(on) (55/80 mΩ vs. 120/160 mΩ), allowing drop-in replacement where higher output current is required.
