Product details
Overview
CSD96497Q5MC from Texas Instruments is a synchronous buck NexFET™ smart power stage integrating driver IC and dual MOSFETs in a single 5-mm × 6-mm VSON-CLIP package. It delivers 65-A continuous output current, supports up to 1.25-MHz switching frequency, and achieves >93.5% efficiency at 30 A with 12-V input and 1.8-V output - optimized for high-density VR12.x/VR13.x CPU core power delivery.
For engineers reviewing the CSD96497Q5MC datasheet, CSD96497Q5MC pinout, CSD96497Q5MC application, or CSD96497Q5MC equivalent, key selection criteria include its bi-directional current sense accuracy, diode emulation mode with FCCM, thermal monitoring capability, and DualCool™ package for enhanced thermal performance in multiphase POL converters.
Technical Context
The CSD96497Q5MC implements a fully integrated synchronous buck power stage with internal high-side and low-side NexFET™ MOSFETs driven by an optimized gate driver. Its PWM input accepts 3.3-V or 5-V logic levels and supports tri-state operation for seamless phase shedding in multiphase systems.
It features temperature-compensated bi-directional current sensing via the IOUT pin and analog temperature output (VOS), enabling real-time thermal and load monitoring without external components. Fault protection includes over-temperature (OTP), high-side overcurrent (HS OCP), and short-circuit detection with dedicated TAO/FLT pin reporting.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current rating for the CSD96497Q5MC?
The CSD96497Q5MC is rated for 65-A continuous output current under specified thermal conditions (TA = 25°C, 2-oz copper, 4-layer PCB with thermal vias). This rating assumes proper PCB layout with full thermal pad soldering and adequate airflow. Derating applies at elevated ambient temperatures or reduced copper weight, as detailed in the SLPS714A datasheet thermal curves.
Does the CSD96497Q5MC support diode emulation mode, and how is it enabled?
Yes, the CSD96497Q5MC supports diode emulation mode with forced continuous conduction mode (FCCM) via the EM/FCCM pin. When pulled high, it enables FCCM for stable light-load operation; when pulled low, it activates diode emulation for improved efficiency at very light loads. This function is fully integrated and requires no external timing components.
How does the CSD96497Q5MC implement current sensing without a sense resistor?
The CSD96497Q5MC uses temperature-compensated bi-directional current sensing through its internal MOSFET RDS(on), accessed via the IOUT pin. It eliminates the need for external DCR sensing networks or shunt resistors while maintaining ±3% accuracy across –55°C to 150°C - verified in TI's characterization data for CSD96497Q5MC.
What thermal management features are built into the CSD96497Q5MC package?
The CSD96497Q5MC employs DualCool™ packaging with a copper-clip VSON-CLIP (DMC) structure and an exposed thermal pad (Pin 13). This design conducts heat directly from the die to the PCB, achieving <1.5°C/W junction-to-board thermal resistance. The analog temperature output (VOS) pin provides real-time junction temperature feedback at 10 mV/°C.
Can the CSD96497Q5MC be used in multiphase VRM designs, and what interface signals support phase synchronization?
Yes, the CSD96497Q5MC is explicitly designed for multiphase synchronous buck converters. Its tri-state PWM input allows seamless phase shedding, while the IOUT and VOS pins enable per-phase current and temperature monitoring. Phase synchronization is managed externally by the controller; no dedicated clock or sync pin exists on the CSD96497Q5MC itself.
