Product details
Overview
CSD95378BQ5MCT from Texas Instruments is a synchronous buck NexFET™ Smart Power Stage integrating driver IC and dual power MOSFETs for high-current DC-DC conversion. It delivers 60-A continuous output current, achieves 93.4% system efficiency at 30 A (VIN=12 V, VOUT=1.2 V, fSW=500 kHz), and supports up to 1.25 MHz switching frequency in a 5-mm × 6-mm DualCool™ VSON-CLIP package-optimized for server VR12.x and GPU voltage regulation.
For engineers reviewing the CSD95378BQ5MCT datasheet, CSD95378BQ5MCT pinout, CSD95378BQ5MCT application, or CSD95378BQ5MCT equivalent, key selection criteria include its bidirectional current sense accuracy, temperature-compensated analog TAO output, tri-state PWM compatibility, integrated bootstrap diode, and fault monitoring for overcurrent, high-side short, and overtemperature events.
Technical Context
The CSD95378BQ5MCT implements a high-frequency synchronous buck topology with integrated gate driver and optimized FET pair, enabling fast transient response and low conduction/switching losses. Its internal current sensing uses differential IOUT/REFIN inputs with temperature compensation, while the TAO/FAULT pin provides analog die temperature reporting (400 mV at 0°C) and thermal shutdown indication.
Control interface includes tri-state PWM input compatible with both 3.3-V and 5-V logic, FCCM pin for forced continuous conduction or diode emulation mode, and ENABLE pin with internal 100-kΩ pulldown. The device operates across –40°C to +125°C ambient and supports VIN up to 16 V with VDD regulated between 4.5 V and 5.5 V.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: VSON-CLIP (DMC), 12-pin, 5.0 mm × 6.0 mm outline with exposed thermal pad and copper clip structure for enhanced thermal and electrical performance. DualCool™ design enables simultaneous top-side and bottom-side heat transfer.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IOUT | Current sense amplifier output | Provides voltage proportional to phase current; used with REFIN for closed-loop current monitoring |
| REFIN | Current sense reference input | External reference point for differential current sensing; sets zero-current baseline |
| VDD | Gate driver supply | 4.5–5.5 V supply for internal driver and logic; decoupling required near pin |
| ENABLE | Global enable control | Logic-high enables operation; internal 100-kΩ pulldown ensures safe default-off state |
| PGND | Power ground (dual pins) | Pins 4 and 13 connect directly to internal power ground plane; must be tied to low-impedance PCB ground |
| VSW | Switch node | Connects HS-FET source and LS-FET drain; high dv/dt node requiring tight layout and shielding |
| PWM | Tri-state PWM input | Accepts 3.3-V/5-V logic; Hi-Z state forces both FETs off after hold-off time (t3HT) |
| FCCM | Mode select for conduction | Low = diode emulation; high = forced continuous conduction; internal 5-µA pullup to 3.3 V |
| TAO/FAULT | Temp analog output / fault indicator | Reports die temperature linearly; pulled to 3.3 V during thermal shutdown; supports wire-OR in multiphase |
| BOOT | Bootstrap capacitor connection | Drives HS-FET gate; requires ≥0.1-µF X7R ceramic cap to BOOT_R |
| BOOT_R | Bootstrap return | Internal connection to VSW; completes bootstrap loop for high-side drive |
| VIN | Main input supply | 16-V max input; connects to bulk capacitors; high-current path requiring wide copper pours |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck smart power stage applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CSD95372BQ5MCT | Lower 40-A continuous rating; identical pinout and feature set except reduced current capability and slightly lower efficiency (92.8% @ 30 A) | Better suited for mid-tier desktop VRMs or lower-power ASIC supplies where thermal margin is less critical | Select when system peak current stays below 40 A and cost optimization is prioritized over maximum power density |
| ISL99227IRAZ-T | 60-A rated but uses different pinout (13-pin QFN); lacks integrated TAO output and has separate VBST pin instead of BOOT/BOOT_R pair | Requires PCB redesign; preferred in Renesas controller ecosystems with PMBus telemetry requirements | Choose only if migrating from ISL99227-based designs or when PMBus-compatible telemetry is mandatory |
Compared with CSD95378BQ5MCT, CSD95372BQ5MCT offers identical integration and interface but lower current headroom, while ISL99227IRAZ-T provides comparable current rating but demands layout changes and lacks analog temperature reporting-making CSD95378BQ5MCT optimal for TI-controller-based, thermally demanding, high-density VR12.x applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current rating for the CSD95378BQ5MCT?
The CSD95378BQ5MCT is rated for 60-A continuous output current under specified conditions: VIN = 12 V, VOUT = 1.2 V, fSW = 500 kHz, LOUT = 0.225 µH, and TA = 25°C. This rating assumes proper PCB thermal design with adequate copper area and airflow. Derating applies at higher ambient temperatures or elevated switching frequencies, as detailed in the thermal information section of the CSD95378BQ5MCT datasheet.
Does the CSD95378BQ5MCT support diode emulation mode, and how is it enabled?
Yes, the CSD95378BQ5MCT supports diode emulation mode via the FCCM pin. When FCCM is held low, the device enters diode emulation mode, turning off the synchronous FET during discontinuous conduction to improve light-load efficiency. An internal 5-µA current source pulls FCCM to 3.3 V if left floating, defaulting to forced continuous conduction mode. This behavior is confirmed in the Pin Functions section of the CSD95378BQ5MCT datasheet.
What is the function of the TAO/FAULT pin on the CSD95378BQ5MCT?
The TAO/FAULT pin on the CSD95378BQ5MCT serves dual functions: it outputs an analog voltage proportional to die temperature (400 mV at 0°C, ~10 mV/°C), and asserts 3.3 V during thermal shutdown. In multiphase systems, multiple TAO pins can be wire-OR'd to report only the highest temperature. A 1-nF ceramic capacitor to PGND is required for stability. This functionality is documented in the Pin Functions table of the CSD95378BQ5MCT datasheet.
Is the CSD95378BQ5MCT pin-compatible with other devices in the CSD9537x family?
Yes, the CSD95378BQ5MCT shares identical pinout, package dimensions, and footprint with CSD95372BQ5MCT and CSD95377BQ5MCT, all using the 12-pin VSON-CLIP (DMC) package. However, current ratings differ: CSD95372BQ5MCT is rated for 40 A, while CSD95377BQ5MCT supports 50 A. Electrical characteristics such as efficiency and power loss scale accordingly, as verified in the respective datasheets for each CSD95378BQ5MCT family member.
What thermal metrics define the CSD95378BQ5MCT's cooling performance?
The CSD95378BQ5MCT specifies RθJC = 5°C/W (junction-to-case, top surface) and RθJB = 1.5°C/W (junction-to-board) under JEDEC test conditions: mounted on a 1-in², 2-oz Cu pad on FR4. These values reflect the DualCool™ package's ability to conduct heat through both top and bottom surfaces. For system-level thermal design, the CSD95378BQ5MCT datasheet recommends specific PCB land patterns and stencil openings to maximize solder joint thermal conductivity.
