Product details
Overview
LM43602PWPT from Texas Instruments is a 3.5-V to 36-V input, 2-A synchronous step-down DC-DC converter in a 16-pin HTSSOP (PWP) package. It delivers regulated output voltage with 1.011-V feedback reference, 27-µA quiescent current in regulation, and integrated high-side/low-side MOSFETs (RDS(on) = 120 mΩ / 65 mΩ). Used in industrial power supplies and automotive sub-AM band systems where wide VIN and EMI-compliant operation are required.
For engineers reviewing the LM43602PWPT datasheet, LM43602PWPT pinout, LM43602PWPT application, or LM43602PWPT equivalent, key selection considerations include its EN precision UVLO (2.2 V typ), adjustable 200 kHz–2.2 MHz switching frequency, internal soft-start (4.1 ms), PGOOD flag, and stable operation with ceramic/polymer/tantalum capacitors.
Technical Context
The LM43602PWPT employs fixed-frequency peak current-mode control with DCM and PFM modes at light load to maintain high efficiency across 0–2 A. Its internal compensation eliminates external loop components, and the RT pin enables resistor-programmable frequency (200 kHz–2.2 MHz) or synchronization to an external clock within that range.
Protection architecture includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting (HS peak = 4.5 A typ, LS valley = 2 A typ), hiccup-mode short-circuit response, thermal shutdown (160°C), and VCC UVLO (3.1 V). The BIAS pin supports efficiency optimization by connecting to VOUT (3.3–28 V) or an external 3.3/5 V rail.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5 V to 36 V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive rails; absolute max 42 V. |
| Output Current | 2 A continuous - sufficient for point-of-load regulation of FPGAs, DSPs, and microcontrollers. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.011 V (typ) - enables precise output setting via resistor divider; ±1.2% over –40°C to +125°C. |
| Quiescent Current | 27 µA in regulation - enables battery-backed or always-on systems with minimal standby loss. |
| Switching Frequency | 200 kHz to 2.2 MHz - selectable via RT pin; default 500 kHz; allows trade-off between size (high f) and efficiency (low f). |
| EMI Compliance | Meets EN55022/CISPR 22 Class B - verified radiated emission performance without added filtering. |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 38.9°C/W (HTSSOP) - enables 2 A operation at +85°C ambient with standard 4-layer PCB layout. |
Pinout & Package
LM43602PWPT is housed in a 16-lead HTSSOP (PWP) package measuring 5.1 mm × 6.6 mm × 1.2 mm, with exposed thermal pad connected internally to AGND for enhanced heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (1,2) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt switching waveform; requires low-inductance layout to minimize EMI. |
| CBOOT (3) | Bootstrap capacitor connection | Supplies gate drive for high-side MOSFET; requires 470-nF ceramic capacitor tied to SW. |
| VCC (4) | Internal LDO output | Bypass with capacitor to AGND; no external loading permitted; powers internal circuitry. |
| BIAS (5) | Optional LDO input | Tie to VOUT (3.3–28 V) or external 3.3/5 V rail to improve efficiency; bypass with 1–10 µF capacitor. |
| SYNC (6) | External clock input | Accepts 200 kHz–2.2 MHz square wave; requires high-speed termination to prevent ringing. |
| RT (7) | Frequency programming | Resistor to AGND sets switching frequency; open circuit defaults to 500 kHz. |
| PGOOD (8) | Power-good flag | Open-drain output; requires 10–100 kΩ pull-up; asserts when VOUT is within ±12% of target. |
| FB (9) | Feedback sense | Connects to resistor divider midpoint; regulates output via 1.011-V internal reference. |
| AGND (10) | Analog ground | Reference for internal references and logic; connect directly to system ground plane. |
| SS/TRK (11) | Soft-start/tracking control | Internal 4.1-ms soft-start when floating; add capacitor to extend time or apply external ramp for tracking. |
| EN (12) | Enable input | Logic-level control with precision UVLO (2.2 V rising threshold); hysteresis ensures clean turn-on/off. |
| VIN (13,14) | Main input supply | Connects to input capacitor (CIN) and high-side FET; shortest possible path to PGND required. |
| PGND (15,16) | Power ground | Low-side FET source connection; tie to system ground, CIN, COUT, and thermal pad. |
| PAD | Thermal pad | Internally connected to AGND; must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity. |

| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated synchronous rectification | Eliminates external Schottky diode; reduces conduction loss and improves full-load efficiency by >3% vs. asynchronous designs. |
| Internal compensation | Removes need for external Type-II/III compensation network; simplifies design and reduces BOM count by ≥4 components. |
| Stable with diverse output capacitors | Validated with ceramic, polymer, tantalum, and aluminum electrolytic capacitors - increases flexibility in cost/space-constrained designs. |
| Pre-biased soft-start | Allows safe startup into pre-charged output rails without reverse current flow - critical for hot-swap and multi-rail sequencing. |
| EMI-optimized layout & operation | Meets EN55022 Class B radiated emissions without ferrite beads or common-mode chokes - reduces solution footprint and cost. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM43603PWPT | 3-A output current, identical pinout and feature set; higher RDS(on) (HS: 85 mΩ, LS: 40 mΩ) and slightly higher IQ (32 µA). | Required where sustained >2 A load or higher peak current margin is needed; same PCB layout usable. | Select LM43603PWPT if future-proofing for higher current or derating is required; otherwise LM43602PWPT offers optimal size/cost balance at 2 A. |
| TPS54202HDDCR | 2-A, 4.5–28 V input, 500-kHz fixed frequency, no SYNC or BIAS pins; lower IQ (14 µA) but lacks PGOOD and precision EN. | Suitable for cost-sensitive, non-automotive applications where EMI compliance and rail sequencing are less critical. | Choose TPS54202HDDCR only for simpler, lower-cost designs without tracking, sync, or strict EN thresholds; LM43602PWPT provides broader system integration features. |
Compared with LM43603PWPT and TPS54202HDDCR, the LM43602PWPT uniquely balances 2-A capability, EN precision (2.2 V), PGOOD flag, and EN55022 Class B compliance in a compact HTSSOP package-making it optimal for space-constrained, safety-aware industrial and automotive point-of-load designs.

FAQ
What is the absolute maximum input voltage rating for the LM43602PWPT?
The LM43602PWPT has an absolute maximum input voltage (VIN to PGND) of 42 V. This rating applies under transient conditions only; continuous operation must remain within the recommended 3.5 V to 36 V range. Exceeding 42 V risks permanent damage, and operation near this limit requires careful attention to voltage spikes and layout parasitics.
Does the LM43602PWPT require external compensation components?
No, the LM43602PWPT features internal compensation, eliminating the need for external Type-II or Type-III compensation networks. This reduces design complexity, saves board space, and lowers BOM count. The device achieves stable operation across its full load and input voltage range without user-adjusted compensation.
How does the BIAS pin improve efficiency in the LM43602PWPT?
The BIAS pin on the LM43602PWPT allows connection to the output rail (3.3–28 V) or an external 3.3/5 V supply, enabling the internal LDO to operate more efficiently than from VIN alone. When used, it reduces power dissipation in the bias circuitry and improves overall converter efficiency-especially at higher input voltages.
Can the LM43602PWPT synchronize to an external clock, and what are the valid frequency ranges?
Yes, the LM43602PWPT supports frequency synchronization via the SYNC pin across 200 kHz to 2.2 MHz. The external clock must meet TTL-compatible thresholds (VH ≥ 2 V, VL ≤ 0.4 V) and maintain 10%–90% duty cycle. Proper high-speed termination is required to prevent signal ringing and ensure reliable locking.
What thermal performance can be expected from the LM43602PWPT in a standard 4-layer PCB layout?
In a JEDEC-standard 4-layer PCB layout, the LM43602PWPT (HTSSOP) exhibits RθJA = 38.9°C/W. At 2 A load and 12 V input, typical power dissipation is ~0.5 W, resulting in ~20°C junction-to-ambient rise above ambient-well within the –40°C to +125°C operating range. Thermal pad soldering to the ground plane is mandatory for this performance.
