Product details
Overview
LM5160QPWPTQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified 65-V input, 2-A synchronous buck/Fly-Buck™ DC/DC converter with integrated high-side and low-side MOSFETs, adaptive constant on-time control, ±1% feedback reference, and FPWM-selectable CCM/DCM operation - used in automotive power supplies and IGBT gate drive biasing.
For engineers reviewing the LM5160QPWPTQ1 datasheet, LM5160QPWPTQ1 pinout, LM5160QPWPTQ1 application, or LM5160QPWPTQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include wide 4.5–65 V input range, HTSSOP-14 thermal performance (RθJA = 39.3°C/W), programmable soft-start, inherent peak current limiting, and Fly-Buck™ multi-output isolation capability.
Technical Context
The LM5160QPWPTQ1 implements adaptive constant on-time (COT) control with VIN-inversely proportional on-time, enabling stable regulation without external loop compensation and delivering fast transient response across 4.5–65 V input. Its dual-mode operation-selectable via FPWM pin-supports forced PWM (CCM) for multi-output Fly-Buck™ topologies or diode-emulation DCM for light-load efficiency.
Internal protection includes adjustable EN/UVLO (1.24 V threshold), VCC UVLO (3.98 V), thermal shutdown (175°C), and intelligent current limit with VIN- and VFB-dependent off-timer (16–39.8 µs). The integrated 7.5-V VCC regulator powers gate drivers and logic, with 30-mA current limit and internal BST recharge diode.

Pinout & Package
LM5160QPWPTQ1 is housed in a 14-pin HTSSOP package (4.40 mm × 5.00 mm, 0.65-mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad connected to AGND for enhanced power dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 AGND | Analog ground reference | Return for internal control circuitry; must be isolated from PGND except at single-point connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 2 PGND | Power ground return | Source node for low-side FET; requires low-inductance path to SW and input/output capacitors. |
| 3 VIN | Main input supply | 4.5–65 V input rail; connects to high-side FET drain and VCC regulator input. |
| 4 EN/UVLO | Enable & input UVLO input | Logic-enable with precision 1.24 V threshold and user-adjustable hysteresis via resistor divider. |
| 5 RON | On-time programming | Resistor from VIN sets switching frequency; inverse VIN dependence enables stable fSW across wide input range. |
| 6 SS | Soft-start control | Capacitor-connected node charged by 10-µA current source; controls monotonic VOUT ramp and limits inrush. |
| 8 FPWM | Forced PWM mode select | Connect to VCC for CCM (Fly-Buck™ compatible); connect to AGND for DCM (light-load efficiency). |
| 9 FB | Voltage feedback input | Compares output voltage (via RFB1/RFB2) to 2 V reference; determines on-time initiation timing. |
| 10 VCC | Bias regulator output | 7.5 V internal supply for gate drivers and logic; bypassed with ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor. |
| 11 BST | Bootstrap capacitor node | Connects to SW via 0.1 µF capacitor; provides gate drive voltage for high-side N-channel FET. |
| 12,13 SW | Switch node | Drain of high-side FET / source of low-side FET; critical high-dV/dt node requiring minimized loop area. |
| 7,14 NC | No connection | Unbonded pins; must remain unconnected per TI design guidelines. |
| EP | Exposed thermal pad | Internally connected to AGND; soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and EMI performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5161QPWPTQ1 | Higher 100-V input rating; identical pinout and feature set; 1.5-A rated output current. | Suitable for 48 V telecom or 72 V industrial systems where input surges exceed 65 V. | Select when input voltage may exceed 65 V; retains same layout and firmware interface but derates max load to 1.5 A. |
| TPS54260DGQR | 60-V input, 2.5-A output; current-mode control (not COT); requires external compensation; no FPWM pin or Fly-Buck™ support. | Better suited for non-isolated, high-precision regulation where loop bandwidth tuning is required. | Choose when design demands adjustable loop compensation or higher output current; not drop-in due to different control architecture and pin functions. |
Compared with LM5161QPWPTQ1, the LM5160QPWPTQ1 offers higher output current (2 A vs. 1.5 A) at lower max input voltage (65 V vs. 100 V); compared with TPS54260DGQR, it delivers faster transient response and Fly-Buck™ capability without compensation components, but lacks current-mode flexibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LM5160QPWPTQ1?
The LM5160QPWPTQ1 has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 70 V, with recommended operating range from 4.5 V to 65 V. Operation beyond 65 V is not advised for sustained use, as electrical characteristics are only guaranteed within the recommended range. The device's internal high-side FET and protection circuits are designed for reliable operation up to 65 V under all specified conditions, including transients defined in ISO 7637-2.
Does the LM5160QPWPTQ1 support isolated Fly-Buck™ topology?
Yes, the LM5160QPWPTQ1 explicitly supports Fly-Buck™ isolated DC/DC conversion. When the FPWM pin is tied to VCC, the device operates in forced continuous conduction mode (CCM), which is required for stable cross-regulation in multi-output Fly-Buck™ designs using a coupled inductor. This capability is documented in TI's LM5160-Q1 datasheet Section 2 (Applications) and Section 8.2 (Typical Applications).
What is the purpose of the RON pin on the LM5160QPWPTQ1?
RON on the LM5160QPWPTQ1 sets the switch on-time via an external resistor connected between VIN and RON. Because on-time varies inversely with input voltage, this resistor determines the approximate switching frequency - e.g., a 100-kΩ resistor yields ~500 kHz at VIN = 24 V. The RON pin enables frequency adjustment without changing compensation, preserving the adaptive COT architecture's stability and transient benefits.
Can the LM5160QPWPTQ1 start up into a pre-biased output?
Yes, the LM5160QPWPTQ1 supports pre-biased start-up. Its control architecture prevents reverse current flow during startup by disabling the low-side FET until the FB voltage rises above the SS voltage. This avoids output voltage overshoot and potential damage to downstream circuitry when the output capacitor is already charged - a critical feature for hot-swap and redundant power systems.
What thermal performance can be expected from the LM5160QPWPTQ1 in HTSSOP package?
The LM5160QPWPTQ1 in 14-pin HTSSOP (PWP) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 39.3°C/W with standard 2-layer PCB layout (2 oz Cu, 1 in² thermal pad). At 2 A load and 24 V input, typical power dissipation is ~0.8 W, resulting in ~31°C junction-to-ambient rise - well within the –40°C to +125°C operating range. For higher ambient, use of the exposed thermal pad connected to AGND is mandatory.
