Product details
Overview
LM5165QDGSRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous buck converter delivering up to 150 mA output current with fixed 3.3 V or 5 V, or adjustable output; operates from 3 V to 65 V input; features 10.5 µA no-load quiescent current and integrated 2-Ω PMOS high-side / 1-Ω NMOS low-side switches; used in automotive infotainment power rails and battery-supplied ADAS sensors.
For engineers reviewing the LM5165QDGSRQ1 datasheet, LM5165QDGSRQ1 pinout, LM5165QDGSRQ1 application, or LM5165QDGSRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low IQ for always-on systems, 100% duty-cycle capability for low-dropout operation, selectable PFM/COT control modes, programmable current limit, and AEC-Q100 qualification for under-hood deployment.
Technical Context
The LM5165QDGSRQ1 implements a constant-on-time (COT) or pulse-frequency-modulation (PFM) control architecture with no loop compensation required. Its high-side P-channel MOSFET enables 100% duty cycle operation without bootstrap circuitry, while the integrated low-side N-channel MOSFET eliminates external rectification.
It supports monotonic start-up into prebiased outputs, active slew-rate control for EMI reduction, and precision enable/UVLO with programmable hysteresis via the HYS pin. The internal 1.223-V ±1% reference and 900-µs internal soft-start (or externally programmable) ensure stable regulation across wide VIN and temperature ranges (–40°C to 150°C junction).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3 V to 65 V - supports direct connection to automotive battery (cold-crank down to 3 V) and industrial HV rails without pre-regulation. |
| No-Load Quiescent Current | 10.5 µA - enables >1-year battery life in always-on vehicle modules with 10-mAh coin cell or low-power wake-up circuits. |
| Output Current Capability | 150 mA at 5 V (COT mode) - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, CAN transceivers, and sensor signal chains in compact ECUs. |
| Integrated Power Switches | 2 Ω high-side PMOS + 1 Ω low-side NMOS - eliminates external FETs and gate drivers; reduces BOM count and layout area by ~30% vs discrete solutions. |
| Control Modes | Selectable PFM or COT - PFM maximizes light-load efficiency (<1 mA); COT delivers near-constant frequency and fast transient response for dynamic loads. |
| EMI Compliance | Meets EN55022/CISPR 22 Class B - achieves radiated emissions <40 dBµV/m at 30–230 MHz with standard 4-layer PCB layout and no shielding. |
| Thermal Protection | 170°C shutdown with 10°C hysteresis - prevents thermal runaway during overload or poor heatsinking; automatic recovery avoids system latch-up. |
Pinout & Package
LM5165QDGSRQ1 is packaged in a 10-pin VSON (DRC) package with 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm body size and 0.5-mm pin pitch, featuring an exposed thermal pad for enhanced power dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW | Switching node | Internal connection point of high-side PMOS drain and low-side NMOS drain; must be routed with minimal loop area to reduce EMI and voltage spikes. |
| VIN | Input supply rail | Primary power input for high-side switch and internal LDO bias; requires local 1-µF ceramic capacitor placed within 2 mm of pin. |
| ILIM | Current limit programming | Selects one of four peak current thresholds (48–240 mA) via resistor-to-GND; determines inductor saturation margin and short-circuit robustness. |
| SS | Soft-start timing control | Disables (shorted), fixes (open), or programs (capacitor) ramp time for FB reference; prevents output overshoot and inrush into prebiased loads. |
| RT | Mode selection & on-time setting | Short to GND selects PFM; resistor-to-GND sets COT switching frequency (e.g., 107 kΩ → ~230 kHz); enables optimization of efficiency vs. EMI. |
| PGOOD | Power-good open-drain flag | Active-low indicator signaling regulated output; requires external 10–100 kΩ pull-up; used for sequencing, fault reporting, and MCU reset coordination. |
| EN | Precision enable/UVLO input | Enables converter when >1.212 V; UVLO hysteresis set via HYS pin; allows custom input undervoltage lockout (e.g., disable below 6 V battery). |
| VOUT/FB | Feedback input | Fixed-output versions connect internally to 3.3 V or 5 V divider; adjustable version accepts external resistor divider for user-defined output (1.223 V reference). |
| HYS | UVLO hysteresis programming | Drain of internal NFET; resistor from HYS to EN divider sets UVLO hysteresis voltage - critical for stable startup during slow-rising battery conditions. |
| GND | Power ground return | Main ground reference for all internal circuits; must be connected directly to exposed thermal pad and system ground plane with multiple vias. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 100% duty-cycle operation | Enables dropout as low as 100 mV at full load - supports regulation down to VIN = VOUT + 0.1 V, critical for cold-crank automotive scenarios. |
| No loop compensation required | Reduces external component count to only inductor, input/output capacitors, and optional programming resistors - accelerates design validation and lowers cost. |
| Monotonic start-up into prebiased output | Prevents reverse current flow and output collapse when powering circuits with stored charge - essential for hot-swap and multi-rail sequencing applications. |
| Active slew-rate control | Internally limits dV/dt on SW node - reduces high-frequency EMI peaks by >10 dBµV without adding snubbers or ferrites. |
| Programmable current limit (4 levels) | Allows precise matching of inductor saturation current and fault current threshold - improves reliability and enables smaller magnetics in space-constrained designs. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LM5165QDGSRQ1?
The LM5165QDGSRQ1 delivers up to 150 mA of continuous DC output current in Constant On-Time (COT) mode at 5 V output and typical ambient conditions. In Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) mode, the rated output current is 100 mA. Actual current depends on input voltage, ambient temperature, PCB thermal design, and inductor selection - the device includes programmable current limiting (four levels) to match specific load requirements and prevent thermal overload.
Does the LM5165QDGSRQ1 support 100% duty-cycle operation, and why does it matter?
Yes, the LM5165QDGSRQ1 supports true 100% duty-cycle operation using its integrated high-side P-channel MOSFET. This eliminates the need for a bootstrap capacitor and enables regulation when input voltage approaches or equals the output voltage - critical for automotive cold-crank scenarios where battery voltage can drop to 3 V while maintaining a stable 3.3-V or 5-V rail. It directly improves system uptime and simplifies power architecture.
How is EMI performance achieved in the LM5165QDGSRQ1 without external filters?
The LM5165QDGSRQ1 achieves EN55022/CISPR 22 Class B compliance through integrated active slew-rate control on the SW node, optimized internal gate drive timing, and minimized parasitic loop areas enabled by the VSON package and pinout. These features suppress high-frequency harmonics at the source, allowing compliant operation with only standard input/output capacitors and a single inductor - no additional ferrite beads or common-mode chokes required in most layouts.
Can the LM5165QDGSRQ1 be used with an adjustable output voltage, and what is the reference accuracy?
Yes, the LM5165QDGSRQ1 supports adjustable output voltage via the FB pin using an external resistor divider. Its internal voltage reference is 1.223 V with ±1% initial accuracy (1.205 V to 1.241 V) over –40°C to +125°C junction temperature. Line regulation is 0.001%/V, ensuring stable output across the full 3–65-V input range - making it suitable for precision bias supplies in sensor and ADC front-ends.
What thermal protection features does the LM5165QDGSRQ1 include?
The LM5165QDGSRQ1 incorporates thermal shutdown protection that activates at 170°C junction temperature, with 10°C hysteresis to prevent oscillation near the trip point. Upon shutdown, the device halts switching and enters a low-power state until temperature falls below 160°C, then automatically resumes operation. This behavior protects against sustained overload, poor PCB heatsinking, or high ambient conditions - a key requirement for under-hood automotive deployments.
