Product details
Overview
CSD97395Q4M from Texas Instruments is a synchronous buck NexFET™ power stage integrating driver IC and dual MOSFETs in a single 3.5 mm × 4.5 mm SON package. It delivers up to 25 A continuous output current, supports input voltages up to 24 V, operates at switching frequencies up to 2 MHz, and achieves >92% system efficiency at 15 A - optimized for high-density point-of-load DC/DC conversion in computing and networking systems.
For engineers reviewing the CSD97395Q4M datasheet, CSD97395Q4M pinout, CSD97395Q4M application, or CSD97395Q4M equivalent, key selection criteria include its tri-state PWM/ SKIP# control interface, ultra-low quiescent current (8 µA ULQ mode), integrated bootstrap diode, shoot-through protection, and validated performance under 10 kV/µs dV/dt stress conditions.
Technical Context
The CSD97395Q4M implements a high-speed gate driver with adaptive zero-crossing detection for diode emulation mode, enabling discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) at light loads to improve efficiency. Its driver supports both forced continuous conduction mode (FCCM) and DCM via SKIP# logic control, with configurable tri-state entry/exit timing (e.g., 50 µs SKIP# wake-up, 100 ns PWM exit latency).
It integrates a bootstrap FET switch instead of a passive diode, reducing conduction loss and improving high-side FET gate drive stability. The device features undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with 4.15 V turn-on and 3.7 V turn-off thresholds, and incorporates shoot-through protection with active gate control to prevent simultaneous high- and low-side FET conduction.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Continuous Output Current | 25 A at VIN = 12 V, VDD = 5 V, VOUT = 1.8 V, fSW = 500 kHz - defines maximum sustained load capability without thermal derating under standard test conditions. |
| Peak Output Current | 60 A for tp ≤ 10 ms, duty cycle ≤ 1% - supports transient load demands in CPU/GPU VRMs without saturation or failure. |
| Switching Frequency Range | 200–2000 kHz - enables high-frequency operation to reduce output filter size while maintaining >92% efficiency at 15 A. |
| Input Voltage Range | Up to 24 V - supports 12 V and 19 V input rails common in server, telecom, and notebook power stages. |
| Quiescent Current (ULQ) | 8 µA with SKIP# tri-stated - enables Windows® 8 connected standby compliance by minimizing idle power draw. |
| dV/dt Rating | >10 kV/µs - confirms robustness against fast voltage transients during hard switching, critical for layout reliability. |
| Package Thermal Resistance | RθJB = 2.5 °C/W - indicates efficient heat transfer from junction to PCB board plane via exposed PGND pads and thermal vias. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SON 3.5 mm × 4.5 mm plastic package with exposed thermal pad (PGND-connected). Optimized for high-density PCB layouts with minimal loop inductance and system-level thermal management via bottom-side copper and thermal vias.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: SKIP# | Mode control input | Tri-state logic input enabling Diode Emulation Mode (low), FCCM (high), or ULQ shutdown (floating); wake-up latency ≤50 µs. |
| 2: VDD | Driver supply rail | 4.5–5.5 V gate driver and logic supply; powers internal circuitry and bootstrap charge pump; UVLO threshold 4.15 V (rising). |
| 3, 9: PGND | Power ground reference | Low-inductance return path for high-current switching loops; must be connected directly to PCB ground plane and thermal pad. |
| 4: VSW | Switch node | High-slew-rate connection to output inductor; experiences full VIN-to-GND swing; requires minimized trace length to reduce EMI and ringing. |
| 5: VIN | Main input supply | Accepts up to 24 V DC input; connects to local ceramic input capacitors placed adjacent to pins 3/5/9 to suppress high-frequency ripple. |
| 6: BOOT_R | Bootstrap capacitor return | Reference node for external 0.1 µF bootstrap capacitor; internally tied to VSW; enables high-side FET gate drive above VIN. |
| 7: BOOT | Bootstrap supply | Drives high-side FET gate; supplied via integrated bootstrap FET (not diode), reducing conduction loss and improving reliability. |
| 8: PWM | 3-state control input | Accepts 3.3 V or 5 V logic; tri-state entry forces both FET gates low with zero-latency exit (100 ns); supports skip-cycle and burst-mode control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| System-optimized PCB footprint | SON 3.5 × 4.5 mm outline with symmetric PGND pads and dedicated VIN/VSW routing zones reduces layout iteration time and improves EMI performance. |
| Ultra-low quiescent (ULQ) current mode | 8 µA supply current with SKIP# tri-stated - enables sub-10 µA system standby power in Windows® 8/10 connected standby designs. |
| Integrated bootstrap FET | Replaces conventional bootstrap diode to lower forward voltage drop and eliminate reverse recovery loss - improves light-load efficiency and thermal margin. |
| Diode emulation with FCCM select | SKIP# pin selects between DCM (light-load efficiency) and FCCM (low-noise, predictable ripple) - no external components required. |
| Shoot-through protection | Hardware-enforced dead-time and gate-drive interlock prevent simultaneous conduction of high- and low-side FETs - eliminates risk of catastrophic short-circuit. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| CSD97374Q4M | Lower 20 A continuous rating, same 3.5 × 4.5 mm SON package, identical pinout, but reduced peak current (45 A vs. 60 A) and higher RDS(on) in both FETs. | Targeted at mid-power applications (e.g., SoC I/O rails) where 25 A headroom is unnecessary; less suitable for CPU Vcore with aggressive transient demands. | Select when system peak current remains below 45 A and cost optimization is prioritized over maximum transient capability. |
| ISL99227BIRZ | 40 V max VIN, 30 A continuous, 50 A peak, 3.5 × 4.5 mm QFN; includes integrated current sense amplifier and PMBus telemetry, but no ULQ mode or tri-state SKIP#. | Designed for digitally controlled VRMs requiring real-time current monitoring and fault reporting; lacks Windows® 8 connected standby support. | Select when digital interface, telemetry, and higher voltage tolerance outweigh need for ultra-low quiescent current and analog mode flexibility. |
Compared with CSD97374Q4M and ISL99227BIRZ, the CSD97395Q4M uniquely balances 25 A continuous/60 A peak capability, 8 µA ULQ mode, and tri-state control in a pin-compatible SON package - making it optimal for high-efficiency, thermally constrained, and standby-sensitive computing and networking point-of-load designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the CSD97395Q4M?
The CSD97395Q4M has an absolute maximum VIN-to-PGND rating of 30 V, but its recommended operating condition specifies up to 24 V. Operation near the 30 V limit risks excessive VSW node overshoot during switching transients; TI recommends limiting VIN to ≤24 V for reliable long-term operation with proper snubbing and layout.
Does the CSD97395Q4M support both 3.3 V and 5 V PWM input signals?
Yes, the CSD97395Q4M PWM input is compatible with both 3.3 V and 5 V logic levels. Its VIH threshold is 2.65 V and VIL is 0.6 V, with 0.2 V hysteresis - ensuring robust recognition of either logic family without level-shifting circuitry.
How does the ULQ (ultra-low quiescent) mode function in the CSD97395Q4M?
The CSD97395Q4M enters ULQ mode when SKIP# is held in tri-state (floating), reducing IDD to 8 µA typical. In this state, the driver remains responsive: applying a valid logic level to SKIP# resumes full operation within 50 µs, enabling rapid wake-up from connected standby without boot delay.
What is the purpose of the integrated bootstrap FET in the CSD97395Q4M?
The CSD97395Q4M replaces the traditional bootstrap diode with an integrated FET, lowering forward voltage drop and eliminating reverse recovery charge. This reduces high-side gate drive loss, improves light-load efficiency, and enhances reliability under high-frequency, high-dV/dt operation.
Can the CSD97395Q4M be used in multiphase configurations?
Yes, the CSD97395Q4M is explicitly designed for multiphase Vcore and DDR solutions. Its tri-state PWM input enables seamless phase shedding, and its matched FET characteristics ensure consistent current sharing across parallel phases when driven by a compatible multi-phase controller.
