Product details
Overview
LM5013QDDARQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive non-synchronous buck DC/DC converter with integrated 100-V, 0.25-Ω high-side NMOS FET, delivering up to 3.5-A output current across 6–100-V input range. It features constant on-time (COT) control, 50-ns minimum on/off time, and ultra-low 3.1-µA shutdown quiescent current - enabling direct 48-V-to-12-V conversion in hybrid electric vehicle powertrain systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM5013QDDARQ1 datasheet, LM5013QDDARQ1 pinout, LM5013QDDARQ1 application, or LM5013QDDARQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, 1.2-V reference accuracy, programmable on-time via RRON, open-drain PGOOD signaling, and SO PowerPAD™ thermal performance for high-voltage automotive rails.
Technical Context
The LM5013QDDARQ1 implements a voltage-mode COT architecture where on-time is inversely proportional to VIN and set by an external resistor on RON pin, enabling quasi-fixed switching frequency (up to 1 MHz) across wide input ranges. Its internal VCC bias regulator powers gate drive and logic without external capacitors, while the bootstrap circuit relies on a mandatory 2.2-nF X7R ceramic capacitor between BST and SW pins.
Protection includes cycle-by-cycle peak current limiting at 4.5 A (typ), thermal shutdown at 175°C with 10°C hysteresis, precision EN/UVLO with three operating modes (shutdown/standby/active), and monotonic start-up into prebiased loads. The 1.2-V feedback reference exhibits ±1.5% variation over –40°C to +150°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 6 V to 100 V - supports direct step-down from 48-V battery systems without external surge suppression. |
| Output Current | 3.5 A continuous - enabled by integrated 0.25-Ω, 100-V high-side MOSFET with 150°C max junction rating. |
| Quiescent Current | 3.1 µA in shutdown - preserves battery life in always-on automotive modules during sleep mode. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.20 V ±1.5% - sets output voltage via resistor divider; enables precise 12-V, 5-V, or 3.3-V regulation. |
| Minimum On/Off Time | 50 ns - permits >10:1 step-down ratios (e.g., 48 V → 3.3 V) and near-100% duty cycle operation down to 6 V input. |
| Switching Frequency | Up to 1 MHz - programmable via RRON; fixed-frequency behavior in CCM improves EMI predictability. |
| PGOOD Threshold | FB = 1.14 V (rising), 1.08 V (falling) - provides 60-mV hysteresis for reliable sequencing and fault reporting. |
Pinout & Package
LM5013QDDARQ1 is housed in an 8-pin SO PowerPAD™ (DDA) package with 1.27-mm pin pitch and 4.89 mm × 3.90 mm body size. The exposed pad (EP) must be soldered to a large GND copper plane for thermal management (RθJC(bot) = 1.3°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for internal circuits and EP thermal path; connects directly to PCB ground plane. |
| VIN | Power input | Supplies high-side FET and internal VCC regulator; rated for 100 V absolute max; requires low-impedance path. |
| EN/UVLO | Enable & UVLO input | Three-state control: <1.1 V = shutdown (3.1 µA IQ), 1.1–1.5 V = standby, >1.5 V = active start-up. |
| RON | On-time programming | Resistor-to-GND sets tON; 25 kΩ yields ~245 ns at 100 V; enables frequency stability across VIN range. |
| FB | Feedback input | Compares output voltage (via resistor divider) to 1.2-V internal reference; requires ≥20-mV ripple for COT stability. |
| PGOOD | Open-drain status | Signals regulation status; pulls low when FB drops below 1.08 V; needs 10–100 kΩ pullup to ≤14 V rail. |
| BST | Bootstrap supply | Charges internal high-side gate driver; requires 2.2-nF X7R ceramic cap to SW; no external diode needed. |
| SW | Switching node | Internal connection to high-side FET source; ties to inductor and Schottky diode cathode; handles full VIN transients. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant On-Time (COT) Control | Delivers fast load transient response with minimal output undershoot; eliminates loop compensation components. |
| Integrated 100-V High-Side FET | 0.25-Ω RDS(on) enables compact 3.5-A solution without external switch; reduces BOM count and layout complexity. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 Qualification | Validated for –40°C to +125°C ambient operation; meets automotive reliability, ESD (HBM ±2 kV), and lifetime requirements. |
| Ultra-Low IQ Sleep Mode | 10 µA VIN current at light load preserves battery energy in infotainment or ADAS modules during vehicle sleep. |
| CISPR 25 Class 5 EMI Compliance | Optimized switching behavior and layout guidance enable pass without shielding in demanding automotive EMC environments. |
| Monotonic Start-Up into Prebiased Loads | Prevents reverse current flow during hot-plug or system wake-up; critical for multi-rail power sequencing in ECUs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar non-synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5163QDDARQ1 | Same 8-pin SO PowerPAD package and pinout; lower 0.5-A output current; identical 100-V rating and COT architecture. | Targeted at low-power auxiliary rails (e.g., CAN transceivers, microcontrollers); not suitable for 3.5-A motor control supplies. | Select when output current ≤0.5 A and board space reuse is prioritized over current capability. |
| LM5164QDDARQ1 | Same footprint and pinout; 1-A output rating; shares 100-V input, 50-ns min on-time, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification. | Optimized for mid-power domains like HVAC actuators or body control modules; lacks thermal margin for sustained 3.5-A loads. | Choose for 0.5–1.0 A applications where LM5013QDDARQ1's 3.5-A capability is over-specified and cost reduction is critical. |
Compared with LM5013QDDARQ1, LM5163QDDARQ1 and LM5164QDDARQ1 offer identical packaging and control architecture but scale down output current to 0.5 A and 1 A respectively - making them viable alternatives only when full 3.5-A capability is unnecessary and pin compatibility simplifies multi-tier platform design.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current supported by the LM5013QDDARQ1?
The LM5013QDDARQ1 delivers up to 3.5 A of continuous DC output current, enabled by its integrated 100-V, 0.25-Ω high-side NMOS FET and SO PowerPAD™ thermal design. Actual achievable current depends on PCB copper area, ambient temperature, and input/output voltage differential - with thermal derating beginning above 125°C junction temperature per the datasheet's RθJA = 34.8°C/W specification.
Does the LM5013QDDARQ1 require external compensation components?
No, the LM5013QDDARQ1 uses a constant on-time (COT) control architecture that eliminates the need for external loop compensation components such as type-II or type-III networks. Stability is maintained through controlled feedback ripple (≥20 mV), achieved via resistor-ESR, CFF, or RC injection methods - as detailed in TI's AN-1481 application note.
What bootstrap capacitor value is required for the LM5013QDDARQ1?
The LM5013QDDARQ1 requires a 2.2-nF, 50-V X7R ceramic capacitor connected between BST and SW pins. This value is specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and validated for reliable high-side gate drive under all operating conditions - including wake-up from sleep mode where BST recharge timing is critical.
How does the EN/UVLO pin function on the LM5013QDDARQ1?
The EN/UVLO pin on the LM5013QDDARQ1 provides three operational states: below 1.1 V = shutdown (3.1 µA IQ), 1.1–1.5 V = standby (internal VCC active, no switching), and above 1.5 V = full operation. A resistor divider from VIN to GND sets the turn-on threshold per Equation 5 in the datasheet, enabling programmable undervoltage lockout for battery protection.
Is the LM5013QDDARQ1 compliant with automotive EMC standards?
Yes, the LM5013QDDARQ1 is designed to meet CISPR 25 Class 5 radiated emissions requirements when implemented with recommended layout practices, input filtering, and proper grounding. Its COT control, 50-ns timing precision, and integrated bootstrap diode contribute to low EMI generation - verified in TI's evaluation module test reports.
