Product details
Overview
LM25011AMYE from Texas Instruments is a 42-V, 2-A constant on-time (COT) synchronous buck regulator IC with integrated 2-A N-channel MOSFET switch, adjustable current limit, and power-good output. It operates from 6 V to 42 V input, delivers adjustable output voltage starting at 2.51 V, supports up to 2 MHz switching frequency, and targets automotive and industrial DC/DC bias supply applications.
For engineers reviewing the LM25011AMYE datasheet, LM25011AMYE pinout, LM25011AMYE application, or LM25011AMYE equivalent, key selection considerations include its COT topology for ultra-fast transient response, valley current limit adjustability for inductor sizing, bootstrap gate drive architecture, thermal shutdown, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification of its -Q1 variant - all validated for high-reliability 12 V/24 V/42 V systems.
Technical Context
The LM25011AMYE implements constant on-time control with VIN-dependent tON (tON = 15 ns + (VIN × 4.1×10−11)/(RT + 500 Ω)), enabling near-constant switching frequency across line and load. Its off-time is governed by a minimum off-time one-shot timer (75 ns typical for LM25011A), critical for stable high-frequency operation and bootstrap capacitor recharge.
Current limiting uses valley detection via the CS/CSG pins with −130 mV threshold; the LM25011A variant omits the 40% on-time reduction during current limit present in LM25011. Regulation relies on a precision 2.51 V ±2% internal reference at FB, with PGD asserting when FB reaches ≥95% of VREF.

Pinout & Package
LM25011AMYE is housed in a thermally enhanced 10-pin HVSSOP (DGQ) package (3.00 mm × 3.00 mm) with exposed pad soldered to PCB ground for improved thermal performance (RθJA = 48 °C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input supply connection | Accepts 6–42 V; requires local low-ESR capacitor to SGND for stability and noise suppression. |
| RT | On-time programming input | Resistor from VIN sets tON and thus switching frequency; max 2 mA current allowed. |
| PGD | Open-drain power-good indicator | Asserts high when FB ≥ 95% of 2.51 V; requires external pull-up ≤7 V. |
| SS | Soft-start timing input | Internal 10 µA current source charges external CSS; enables controlled startup and tracking. |
| SGND | Signal ground reference | Reference for FB, RT, SS, PGD; separate from CSG to avoid current-sense noise coupling. |
| FB | Feedback input | Compares against 2.51 V reference; sets output voltage via resistive divider (RFB1/RFB2). |
| CSG | Current-sense ground | Ground return for CS pin; must be connected to system ground and RS low-side node. |
| CS | Current-sense input | Monitors voltage across external sense resistor RS during off-time for valley current limit. |
| SW | Switching node output | Connects to inductor, diode cathode, and BST capacitor; carries high dv/dt and high-current pulses. |
| BST | Bootstrap supply input | Connects to 0.1 µF capacitor between BST and SW; supplies gate driver during high-side conduction. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM25011MYE | Longer minimum off-time (150 ns vs 75 ns); lower max switching frequency at low VIN; retains 40% on-time reduction in current limit. | Less suitable for >1.5 MHz designs at 6–12 V input; better for cost-sensitive non-high-frequency applications. | Select LM25011MYE only if 2 MHz operation is unnecessary and legacy design compatibility is required. |
| LM25011AQ1MYE | Identical electrical specs to LM25011AMYE but qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C TJ) and with enhanced ESD/HTOL screening. | Required for automotive safety-critical systems (e.g., ADAS, infotainment); not needed for commercial/industrial use. | Choose LM25011AQ1MYE when automotive qualification and extended temperature operation are mandatory. |
Compared with LM25011MYE, LM25011AMYE enables higher-frequency operation at low input voltages due to its shorter minimum off-time, while LM25011AQ1MYE adds automotive qualification without altering electrical behavior - making LM25011AMYE the optimal choice for high-performance industrial and non-automotive automotive designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum switching frequency achievable with LM25011AMYE?
The LM25011AMYE supports switching frequencies up to 2 MHz, set by the RT resistor and input voltage per tON = 15 ns + (VIN × 4.1×10−11)/(RT + 500 Ω). Its 75 ns minimum off-time enables stable 2 MHz operation even at low VIN (e.g., 6 V), distinguishing it from the standard LM25011. Designers must verify bootstrap capacitor recharge time and inductor DCR effects at high frequencies. The LM25011AMYE datasheet specifies this limit under recommended operating conditions.
How does the current limit function differ between LM25011AMYE and LM25011MYE?
The LM25011AMYE uses valley current sensing at the CS pin with a −130 mV threshold but does not reduce on-time during current limit events. In contrast, the LM25011MYE reduces tON by ~40% when current limit is detected - a feature omitted in the LM25011A variant to improve high-frequency stability. This makes LM25011AMYE more predictable in constant-frequency COT operation but requires careful RS selection to avoid overcurrent stress. Both share identical current limit threshold specifications.
Can LM25011AMYE operate with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, LM25011AMYE is fully compatible with ceramic output capacitors due to its constant on-time control architecture, which eliminates the need for loop compensation and remains stable with low-ESR ceramics. The datasheet explicitly confirms stable operation with ceramic capacitors and highlights reduced output capacitance requirements versus voltage-mode controllers. For optimal performance, ensure sufficient effective ripple at the CS pin (≥25 mVP-P) via proper inductor and RS selection - especially critical at high frequencies where LM25011AMYE excels.
What is the role of the BST and SW pins in LM25011AMYE's gate drive?
The BST and SW pins form the bootstrap gate drive network for LM25011AMYE's integrated N-channel high-side buck switch. A 0.1 µF capacitor connects BST to SW; during SW low-time, the internal 5 V regulator recharges this capacitor through an internal diode. During SW high-time, BST supplies the gate driver. This architecture enables efficient high-side N-MOSFET drive without a dedicated floating supply. Proper layout - short traces, solid ground plane under the exposed pad - is essential to maintain BST voltage and prevent shoot-through or premature shutdown.
Does LM25011AMYE include built-in protection features?
Yes, LM25011AMYE integrates multiple protection functions: thermal shutdown (155 °C trip with 20 °C hysteresis), VIN undervoltage lockout (5.3 V nominal with 200 mV hysteresis), gate-drive UVLO (BST–SW < 2.4 V), and cycle-by-cycle current limiting via the CS/CSG pins. It also includes soft-start control, maximum duty-cycle limiting, and pre-charge circuitry to ensure reliable bootstrap capacitor charging. These protections are active during normal operation and fault conditions, enhancing system robustness without external components - a key advantage confirmed in the LM25011AMYE datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table.
