Product details
Overview
LM5161QPWPTQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified 100-V, 1-A synchronous buck/Fly-Buck™ converter with integrated high-side and low-side MOSFETs, constant ON-time control, ±1% feedback reference, and FPWM-selectable CCM/DCM operation - used in automotive IGBT gate drive bias supplies and isolated telecom DC/DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the LM5161QPWPTQ1 datasheet, LM5161QPWPTQ1 pinout, LM5161QPWPTQ1 application, or LM5161QPWPTQ1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 4.5–100 V input range, HTSSOP-14 package thermal performance (RθJA = 39.3°C/W), FPWM-mode flexibility for Fly-Buck vs. buck topologies, integrated current limiting (1.3–1.9 A high-side ILIM), and automotive-grade reliability (–40°C to 125°C TA).
Technical Context
The LM5161QPWPTQ1 implements constant ON-time control with VIN-inversely proportional on-time programming via RON, enabling fast transient response without external loop compensation. Its internal transconductance error amplifier (GM = 100 µA/V) and soft-start circuit (10 µA charge current) stabilize regulation during startup and load steps.
It integrates dual N-channel MOSFETs (RDS(ON) = 0.58 Ω HS / 0.24 Ω LS), a 7.3-V internal VCC regulator (30 mA current limit), and programmable UVLO (1.24 V threshold, 50 mV hysteresis) with independent EN/UVLO pin logic. FPWM pin selection determines CCM operation (for multi-output Fly-Buck) or DCM (for ripple-free buck output without external injection).
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
LM5161QPWPTQ1 is housed in a thermally enhanced 14-pin HTSSOP (PWP) package (4.40 mm × 5.00 mm) with exposed pad (EP) tied to AGND for improved power dissipation (RθJCbot = 2.0°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AGND (Pin 1) | Analog ground reference | Return for internal control circuits; must be separated from PGND and connected to EP for noise immunity. |
| PGND (Pin 2) | Power ground return | Source node for low-side FET; connects to power plane under SW/BST path to minimize switching loop inductance. |
| VIN (Pin 3) | Main input supply | Accepts 4.5–100 V; requires local ceramic input capacitor (≥10 µF) near VIN-PGND pins. |
| EN/UVLO (Pin 4) | Enable & input UVLO input | Active-high logic; 1.24 V threshold with 50 mV hysteresis - enables programmable undervoltage lockout. |
| RON (Pin 5) | ON-time programming | Resistor to VIN sets switch on-time inversely proportional to VIN - determines operating frequency and light-load behavior. |
| SS (Pin 6) | Soft-start control | Capacitor to AGND (≥1 nF) controls output rise time and limits inrush; charged by 10 µA internal current source. |
| NC (Pin 7) | No connection | Not bonded; must remain unconnected and floating. |
| FPWM (Pin 8) | Forced PWM mode select | Ground = DCM (diode emulation); VCC = CCM - selects Fly-Buck capability or ripple-free buck regulation. |
| FB (Pin 9) | Feedback input | Compares output divider voltage to 2.0 V reference; sink/source current ≤100 nA ensures high-impedance sensing. |
| VCC (Pin 10) | Bias regulator output | 7.3 V internal LDO (30 mA limit); bypass with ≥1 µF ceramic cap; can be externally biased (9–13 V) to reduce dissipation. |
| BST (Pin 11) | Bootstrap supply | Connects BST–SW capacitor (≥0.1 µF) to drive high-side FET gate above VIN; internal diode recharges during SW low phase. |
| SW (Pins 12,13) | Switch node | Drain of HS FET / source of LS FET; high dv/dt node requiring tight layout and minimal trace area to reduce EMI. |
| NC (Pin 14) | No connection | Not bonded; must remain unconnected and floating. |
| EP | Exposed thermal pad | Internally connected to AGND; must be soldered to large PCB copper area for thermal conduction and EMI reduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated dual MOSFETs | Eliminates external Schottky diode and reduces BOM count - RDS(ON) = 0.58 Ω (HS) / 0.24 Ω (LS) minimizes conduction loss at 1 A. |
| Constant ON-time control | Enables fast load-step response (<10 µs recovery) without external compensation components - simplifies design for dynamic loads. |
| FPWM-selectable conduction mode | DCM mode (FPWM = GND) delivers tightly regulated buck output without external ripple injection; CCM mode (FPWM = VCC) enables Fly-Buck isolation. |
| Programmable soft-start | 10 µA internal current source charges SS capacitor - prevents output overshoot and inrush into capacitive loads (e.g., downstream LDOs). |
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (–40°C to 125°C), HBM ±2kV, CDM ±750V - validated for safety-critical vehicle subsystems including ADAS and powertrain. |
| Internal VCC regulator | 7.3 V LDO with 30 mA limit - powers gate drivers and logic; external VCC bias (9–13 V) reduces thermal stress in high-VIN applications (e.g., 72 V battery transients). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5160QPWPTQ1 | Same architecture but 65-V max input (vs. 100 V); identical pinout, FPWM, and RON programming; lower thermal rating (RθJA = 42.5°C/W). | Suitable for 24/48-V systems only; not rated for 72-V automotive cold-crank or 100-V industrial surges. | Select LM5160QPWPTQ1 only when input never exceeds 65 V and board-level thermal margin allows higher junction temperature. |
| LM5017MRX/NOPB | 75-V input, 600-mA output, SO PowerPAD; no FPWM pin; fixed 500-kHz frequency; requires external compensation. | Lacks Fly-Buck capability and programmable conduction mode; limited to non-isolated buck with lower current capacity. | Choose LM5017MRX/NOPB for cost-sensitive, lower-current 24-V applications where Fly-Buck is unnecessary and layout space permits SOIC-8. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM5161QPWPTQ1?
The LM5161QPWPTQ1 has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 100 V applied between VIN and AGND. Its recommended operating input range is 4.5 V to 100 V, enabling direct operation from 24-V, 48-V, and 72-V automotive or industrial buses without pre-regulation. This 100-V rating supports cold-crank events in automotive Grade 1 applications.
How does the FPWM pin affect LM5161QPWPTQ1 operation?
The FPWM pin on LM5161QPWPTQ1 selects conduction mode: connecting FPWM to AGND enables discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) with diode emulation for ripple-free buck regulation at light loads; connecting FPWM to VCC forces continuous conduction mode (CCM) across all loads, enabling multi-output Fly-Buck™ isolated topologies. This pin directly configures the device's fundamental operating architecture.
Can LM5161QPWPTQ1 be used in Fly-Buck™ configurations?
Yes, LM5161QPWPTQ1 supports Fly-Buck™ isolated DC/DC conversion when configured in forced CCM mode (FPWM = VCC). In this mode, the transformer-coupled secondary output is regulated via primary-side sensing, eliminating the need for optocouplers or secondary-side feedback. The device's integrated high- and low-side MOSFETs and constant ON-time control ensure stable cross-regulation across multiple outputs.

LM5161QPWPTQ1 in the PWP (HTSSOP-14) package has RθJA = 39.3°C/W (junction-to-ambient), RθJCbot = 2.0°C/W (junction-to-case bottom), and ψJB = 19.3°C/W (junction-to-board). These values assume proper PCB layout with the exposed pad (EP) soldered to a ≥100 mm² copper area - critical for maintaining TJ ≤ 125°C at 1-A load in 70°C ambient.
Is LM5161QPWPTQ1 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, LM5161QPWPTQ1 is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified, with device temperature range –40°C to 125°C ambient, HBM ESD rating ±2000 V, and CDM ESD rating ±750 V.
