Product details
Overview
CSD96497Q5MCT 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 (DMC) 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 - ideal for high-density VR12.x/VR13.x CPU core power delivery.
For engineers reviewing the CSD96497Q5MCT datasheet, CSD96497Q5MCT pinout, CSD96497Q5MCT application, or CSD96497Q5MCT equivalent, key selection criteria include its integrated bi-directional current sense, diode emulation mode with FCCM, tri-state PWM compatibility, thermal monitoring via analog output, and fault protection covering OTP, HS OCP, and short-circuit events.
Technical Context
The CSD96497Q5MCT implements a fully integrated synchronous buck power stage architecture with an internal gate driver controlling high-side and low-side NexFET™ MOSFETs. It features temperature-compensated current sensing and analog temperature reporting, enabling precise system-level thermal management without external sensors.
Its control interface accepts 3.3-V or 5-V PWM signals with tri-state capability, and includes integrated bootstrap switch and optimized dead-time logic to prevent shoot-through. Diode emulation mode enables discontinuous conduction (DCM) operation with forced continuous conduction mode (FCCM) selectable via EM/FCCM pin.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current rating of the CSD96497Q5MCT?
The CSD96497Q5MCT is rated for 65-A continuous output current under specified thermal conditions (TA = 25°C, with adequate PCB copper and airflow). This rating assumes proper thermal management using the exposed thermal pad and recommended PCB land pattern. Derating applies above 25°C ambient or with reduced copper area. The CSD96497Q5MCT maintains this current capability while delivering >93.5% efficiency at 30 A with 12-V input and 1.8-V output.
Does the CSD96497Q5MCT support both forced continuous conduction mode (FCCM) and diode emulation mode?
Yes, the CSD96497Q5MCT supports both modes via the EM/FCCM pin. When pulled high, it operates in diode emulation mode for improved light-load efficiency; when pulled low, it enters forced continuous conduction mode for predictable ripple and easier controller loop compensation. This dual-mode capability is implemented in hardware and does not require external configuration registers. The CSD96497Q5MCT automatically adjusts dead time and gate drive timing based on selected mode.
What package type and pin count does the CSD96497Q5MCT use?
The CSD96497Q5MCT uses a VSON-CLIP (DMC) package with 12 terminals, measuring 5.0 mm × 6.0 mm with an exposed thermal pad. It is distinct from standard QFN packages due to its copper-clip construction that directly connects source terminals to the thermal pad, reducing RDS(on) and thermal resistance. The CSD96497Q5MCT shares pin compatibility with other devices in the CSD9649x family, including identical PWM, TAO/FLT, IOUT, and BOOT pin assignments.
How does the CSD96497Q5MCT implement current sensing, and what is its accuracy?
The CSD96497Q5MCT provides temperature-compensated bi-directional analog current sensing through the IOUT pin, with a nominal gain of 200 mV/A and ±3% gain error over temperature. It senses current in both directions (charge and discharge), enabling accurate DCM detection and phase current balancing. The CSD96497Q5MCT also includes REFIN for offset cancellation and supports DCR-based inductor sensing via LSET. No external amplifiers or calibration resistors are required.
What fault protections are integrated into the CSD96497Q5MCT?
The CSD96497Q5MCT integrates three primary fault protections: overtemperature protection (OTP), high-side overcurrent protection (HS OCP), and output short-circuit protection. Fault status is reported via the open-drain TAO/FLT pin, which asserts low during any fault condition. Recovery is automatic after fault removal and thermal cooldown. The CSD96497Q5MCT also includes shoot-through prevention via optimized dead-time control and bootstrap under-voltage lockout.
