Product details
Overview
CSD95491Q5MC from Texas Instruments is a synchronous buck NexFET™ Smart Power Stage integrating high-side and low-side MOSFETs with gate driver, current sensing, and temperature monitoring in a single VSON-CLIP package. It delivers 60-A continuous output current at up to 1.25 MHz switching frequency, supports 3.3-V/5-V PWM inputs, and features diode emulation mode for light-load efficiency-used in VR12.x/VR13.x CPU voltage regulators on server motherboards.
For engineers reviewing the CSD95491Q5MC datasheet, CSD95491Q5MC pinout, CSD95491Q5MC application, or CSD95491Q5MC equivalent, key selection criteria include its 60-A continuous current rating, 94.4% system efficiency at 30 A, thermally enhanced topside cooling, tri-state PWM compatibility, and integrated bootstrap switch-critical for high-density multiphase POL designs.
Technical Context
The CSD95491Q5MC implements a fully integrated synchronous buck power stage with monolithic driver-MOSFET co-packaging optimized for high-frequency, high-current DC-DC conversion. Its internal current sensing uses REF IN / IOUT differential pair with LSET resistor-based inductor calibration, while TAO provides analog temperature output with integrated ORing diode for multiphase thermal reporting.
It supports dual-mode operation via EN/FCCM pin: forced continuous conduction (FCCM) when high, diode emulation (DEM) when held in tri-state window, and full disable when low. The BOOT/BOOT_R pins integrate a bootstrap diode and support ≥0.1-µF ceramic capacitor for HS gate drive, with VSW referenced dead-time control to prevent shoot-through.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Continuous Output Current | 60 A at VIN = 12 V, VOUT = 1.2 V, fSW = 500 kHz - enables single-phase support for high-end CPU core rails. |
| Peak Output Current | 90 A for tp = 50 µs - sustains transient load steps without saturation or thermal shutdown. |
| Switching Frequency | Up to 1250 kHz - allows smaller magnetics and faster transient response in space-constrained VRMs. |
| System Efficiency | 94.4% at 30 A, VOUT = 1.8 V, VIN = 12 V, fSW = 600 kHz - reduces power loss and thermal load in multi-phase stacks. |
| Operating Junction Temp | –40°C to +125°C - supports industrial and server-grade thermal environments without derating. |
| Input Voltage Range | VIN = 4.5 V to 16 V - compatible with 5 V, 12 V, and intermediate bus architectures. |
| PWM Compatibility | 3.3-V and 5-V logic-level input - interoperable with TI's TPS53679 and other VR controller families. |
Pinout & Package
VSON-CLIP (DMC) package, 5.0 mm × 6.0 mm footprint with exposed thermal pad; thermally enhanced topside cooling design requiring soldered thermal pad connection to PCB plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| REFIN | Current sense reference input | External precision voltage reference for bi-directional current sensing amplifier calibration. |
| IOUT | Current sense amplifier output | Differential output (vs. REFIN) proportional to phase current magnitude and direction. |
| LSET | Inductor value configuration | Resistor-to-PGND sets gain for internal current sensing circuitry based on actual inductor DCR. |
| VDD | Driver supply rail | 4.5–5.5 V supply powering gate drivers and internal logic; decoupling required near pin. |
| VOS | Voltage sense feedback | Connects to output rail for accurate voltage sensing in current-sense loop compensation. |
| SW | Switch node | Internal connection point between HS source and LS drain; connects directly to output inductor. |
| VIN | Main input supply | High-current input rail (4.5–16 V); requires local high-frequency ceramic capacitance. |
| BOOTR | Bootstrap return | Internal connection to VSW; completes bootstrap capacitor charging path for HS FET gate drive. |
| BOOT | Bootstrap capacitor terminal | Accepts ≥0.1-µF X5R ceramic cap; integrates bootstrap diode to eliminate external component. |
| PWM | Tri-state control input | Logic-controlled gate drive state: low = HS off/LS on, high = HS on/LS off, Hi-Z = both off after t3HT. |
| EN/FCCM | Enable / mode select | Configures FCCM (high), DEM (tri-state hold), or disable (low); internal pull-down if floating. |
| TAO/FLT | Temperature output / fault indicator | Analog voltage proportional to die temp; pulled to 3.3 V during thermal shutdown or HSS/LSOC fault. |
| PGND | Power ground return | High-current return path for MOSFET sources and driver circuits; must be low-inductance connection. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck power stage applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CSD95492QVM | Includes PVDD pin for separate high-side gate drive supply; otherwise identical pinout and specs. | Required when using split gate drive supplies (e.g., 5 V for logic, 12 V for HS gate); not drop-in for CSD95491Q5MC designs. | Select CSD95492QVM only if PVDD functionality is needed; CSD95491Q5MC remains optimal for single-rail VDD architectures. |
| ISL99227B | 60-A rated, 1.2 MHz capable, but lacks integrated bootstrap diode and analog temperature output (TAO). | Suitable for cost-sensitive designs where external bootstrap diode is acceptable and thermal monitoring is handled externally. | Choose ISL99227B when BOM cost reduction outweighs integration benefits; CSD95491Q5MC preferred for minimal external components and system-level telemetry. |
Compared with CSD95492QVM and ISL99227B, the CSD95491Q5MC offers superior integration-eliminating the bootstrap diode, providing analog temperature reporting, and maintaining identical 60-A/1.25-MHz performance-making it ideal for space- and telemetry-constrained server and AI hardware where layout simplicity and real-time thermal awareness are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current rating for the CSD95491Q5MC?
The CSD95491Q5MC is rated for 60 A continuous output current under specified conditions: VIN = 12 V, VDD = 5 V, VOUT = 1.2 V, and switching frequency = 500 kHz. This rating assumes proper PCB thermal design with soldered exposed thermal pad and adequate airflow. Derating applies above +125°C junction temperature or with reduced copper area.
Does the CSD95491Q5MC support diode emulation mode, and how is it enabled?
Yes, the CSD95491Q5MC supports diode emulation mode (DEM) to improve light-load efficiency. It is enabled by holding the EN/FCCM pin in the tri-state voltage window (between VDD × 0.3 and VDD × 0.7) for longer than the tri-state hold-off time (t3HT). In DEM, the low-side FET turns off during discontinuous conduction, eliminating reverse recovery losses.
What is the purpose of the LSET pin on the CSD95491Q5MC?
The LSET pin on the CSD95491Q5MC connects to a resistor tied to PGND to calibrate the internal current-sensing circuitry for the specific output inductor's DCR value. This resistor sets the gain of the bi-directional current sense amplifier, ensuring accurate phase current measurement regardless of inductor tolerance or temperature drift.
Can the CSD95491Q5MC be used with 3.3-V PWM controllers?
Yes, the CSD95491Q5MC is explicitly designed for compatibility with both 3.3-V and 5-V PWM logic signals. Its PWM input accepts logic-high levels from 2.0 V to VDD + 0.3 V and logic-low levels from –0.3 V to 0.8 V, making it interoperable with TI's TPS53679, ISL68xx, and other industry-standard VR controllers without level-shifting.
How does the TAO pin function in multiphase configurations using multiple CSD95491Q5MC devices?
In multiphase systems, the TAO pins of multiple CSD95491Q5MC units are wired together with an external pull-up resistor. Due to the integrated ORing diode per device, only the highest die temperature among all phases pulls the shared TAO line low-enabling single-wire thermal monitoring of the hottest phase without additional analog multiplexing circuitry.
