Product details
Overview
LM5164QDDARQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous buck DC/DC converter delivering up to 1A output current with 6V–100V input range, 1.2V feedback reference, and 10.5µA no-load quiescent current-designed for 48V mild hybrid ECU bias supplies requiring high step-down ratio and ultra-low IQ operation.
For engineers reviewing the LM5164QDDARQ1 datasheet, LM5164QDDARQ1 pinout, LM5164QDDARQ1 application, or LM5164QDDARQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 50ns minimum on-time, integrated 0.725Ω high-side and 0.34Ω low-side MOSFETs, COT control architecture, diode emulation mode, and SO PowerPAD™ package with exposed thermal pad.
Technical Context
The LM5164QDDARQ1 employs a constant-on-time (COT) control architecture with input-voltage feedforward to maintain quasi-fixed switching frequency up to 1MHz, programmable via RRON resistor. Its 50ns minimum controllable on-time enables direct 48V-to-12V conversion without intermediate stages.
It integrates both high-side and low-side N-channel MOSFETs, eliminating external Schottky diodes, and features peak/valley current limiting (1.5A/1.2A), internal 3ms soft-start, precision enable/UVLO (1.5V enable threshold), and open-drain PGOOD for sequencing and fault reporting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 6V to 100V - supports direct regulation from 48V battery rails and withstands automotive load-dump transients without external suppression. |
| Output Current | 1A continuous - sufficient for biasing ECUs, HVAC controllers, and PTC heater drivers in Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C ambient) automotive systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 10.5µA at no load - minimizes standby battery drain in always-on vehicle subsystems such as telematics and ADAS sensors. |
| Switching Frequency | Up to 1MHz - enables compact magnetics and reduces EMI filtering requirements while maintaining light-load efficiency via diode emulation mode. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.2V ±1.5% - enables precise output voltage setting (e.g., 3.3V, 5V, 12V) using standard resistor dividers with minimal temperature drift. |
| On-Time Programmability | 50ns to 10µs via RRON - allows optimization of switching frequency across input voltage range while preserving minimum duty cycle for high-step-down operation. |
| Thermal Protection | 175°C shutdown with 10°C hysteresis - ensures robust operation under overload or poor heatsinking conditions with automatic recovery. |
Pinout & Package
LM5164QDDARQ1 is housed in an 8-pin SO PowerPAD™ (DDA) package with 1.27mm pin pitch and exposed thermal pad (EP) for enhanced thermal dissipation. The package measures 4.9mm × 6mm and is optimized for high-voltage spacing and PCB-level thermal management.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1) | Ground reference | Primary ground return for internal circuits; must be connected to large copper pour and tied to EP for optimal thermal performance. |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Power input | High-voltage supply input (6–100V) for high-side FET and internal VCC regulator; requires low-inductance path to bulk capacitor. |
| EN/UVLO (Pin 3) | Enable & UVLO control | Programmable enable threshold (1.5V rising) and undervoltage lockout; enables system-level power sequencing and brownout protection. |
| RON (Pin 4) | On-time programming | Resistor-to-GND sets COT on-time; determines switching frequency and minimum controllable duty cycle across input range. |
| FB (Pin 5) | Feedback input | Compares output voltage divider to 1.2V internal reference; supports remote sensing and ripple injection for COT stability. |
| PGOOD (Pin 6) | Power-good indicator | Open-drain output signaling valid regulation (±60mV hysteresis); used for rail sequencing, fault flagging, and microcontroller wake-up. |
| BST (Pin 7) | Bootstrap supply | Supplies gate drive for high-side FET; requires 2.2nF X7R ceramic capacitor between BST and SW for reliable bootstrapping. |
| SW (Pin 8) | Switching node | Internal connection point of high-side source and low-side drain; connects directly to power inductor; critical for EMI layout and thermal routing. |
| EP | Exposed thermal pad | No electrical function; must be soldered to GND plane to achieve RθJB = 16.1°C/W and sustain 1A continuous operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated High/Low-Side MOSFETs | 0.725Ω HS and 0.34Ω LS NFETs eliminate external diode and reduce BOM count, PCB area, and conduction losses. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5163QDDARQ1 | Lower 65V max input, 0.5A output, same COT architecture and pinout but reduced voltage/current capability. | Suitable for 24V-only automotive body electronics; not rated for 48V MHEV battery transients. | Select when input never exceeds 65V and load current ≤0.5A; offers lower cost and smaller solution size. |
| TPS54160AQRTARQ1 | Non-synchronous, 60V max input, 1.5A output, current-mode control, higher 85µA IQ. | Lacks diode emulation and synchronous rectification; less efficient at light loads and unsuitable for ultra-low IQ applications. | Choose only if synchronous rectification is unnecessary and 60V input ceiling is acceptable; requires external Schottky diode. |
Compared with LM5164QDDARQ1, LM5163QDDARQ1 trades 100V/1A capability for cost reduction in lower-voltage systems, while TPS54160AQRTARQ1 sacrifices light-load efficiency and transient robustness for higher peak current and simpler compensation-neither is pin-compatible nor drop-in.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LM5164QDDARQ1?
The LM5164QDDARQ1 has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 100V, with recommended operating range from 6V to 100V. This enables direct regulation from 48V nominal battery systems-including transient surges up to 80V per ISO 7637-2-without external surge suppression components. The device remains operational down to 6V at near-100% duty cycle, making it ideal for automotive start-stop and regenerative braking scenarios where input voltage dips occur.
Does the LM5164QDDARQ1 require external compensation components?
No, the LM5164QDDARQ1 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 injection (e.g., RESR, CFF, or RC ramp methods), as detailed in TI's AN-1481. This reduces BOM count, PCB area, and design iteration time while ensuring robust transient response across the full 6V–100V input range.
How does the LM5164QDDARQ1 achieve ultra-low quiescent current?
The LM5164QDDARQ1 achieves 10.5µA no-load IQ through intelligent power-state management: in light-load conditions, it enters diode emulation mode (DEM), then transitions into ultra-low IQ sleep mode when idle duration exceeds 15µs. During sleep mode, non-critical blocks are gated, and the internal VCC regulator operates in low-power state-verified across –40°C to +125°C ambient. Shutdown IQ is further reduced to 3µA when EN/UVLO < 1.1V.
What is the purpose of the RON pin on the LM5164QDDARQ1?
The RON pin on the LM5164QDDARQ1 programs the constant on-time (COT) duration via an external resistor to GND. This resistor inversely scales the on-time with input voltage (tON = RRON / VIN × 2.5), enabling nearly fixed-frequency operation across the 6V–100V input range. It directly determines minimum achievable on-time (≥50ns), maximum switching frequency (≤1MHz), and step-down ratio capability-critical for 48V-to-low-voltage conversion without cascaded stages.
Can the LM5164QDDARQ1 drive a 12V output from a 48V input in a single stage?
Yes, the LM5164QDDARQ1 can directly regulate 48V down to 12V in a single stage due to its 50ns minimum controllable on-time and ability to operate at >90% duty cycle when needed. At 48V input and 12V output, the required duty cycle is 25%, well within the device's operational range. The COT architecture ensures stable regulation without frequency foldback, and integrated MOSFETs eliminate external diode losses-reducing solution size and improving efficiency over multi-stage alternatives.
