Product details
Overview
LM5165YQDGSRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous buck converter delivering up to 150 mA at fixed 3.3 V output, operating from 3 V to 65 V input with 10.5 µA no-load quiescent current and integrated 2-Ω PMOS high-side and 1-Ω NMOS low-side switches. It supports PFM/COT mode selection, 900-µs internal soft start, and meets CISPR 22 EMI standards for vehicle infotainment power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LM5165YQDGSRQ1 datasheet, LM5165YQDGSRQ1 pinout, LM5165YQDGSRQ1 application, or LM5165YQDGSRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low IQ for always-on systems, 100% duty-cycle capability for low-dropout operation in cold-crank scenarios, adjustable current limit for optimized inductor sizing, and AEC-Q100 qualification for under-hood deployment.
Technical Context
The LM5165YQDGSRQ1 implements a constant-on-time (COT) or pulse-frequency-modulation (PFM) control architecture without requiring external loop compensation. Its integrated high-side PMOS switch enables 100% duty cycle operation, eliminating bootstrap capacitor needs and supporting VIN-to-VOUT dropout as low as 300 mV at light load.
Internal voltage reference accuracy is ±1% (1.223 V), EN threshold is 1.212 V ±68 mV hysteresis, and PGOOD asserts when FB reaches 94% of regulation threshold. Thermal shutdown activates at 170°C with 10°C hysteresis, and junction temperature range spans –40°C to 150°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3 V to 65 V - supports automotive battery transients including cold-crank (4.5 V) and load-dump (60 V) |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±2.1% - factory-trimmed for automotive-grade accuracy across –40°C to 125°C ambient |
| No-Load IQ | 10.5 µA - enables >1-year battery standby in telematics modules powered from 12 V lead-acid |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA - sustained DC load at 3.3 V with thermal derating per RθJA = 47.7°C/W (VSON package) |
| Switching Architecture | Selectable PFM or COT - PFM maximizes light-load efficiency; COT delivers near-constant frequency and fast transient response |
| EMI Compliance | CISPR 22 Class B - achieved via active slew rate control and integrated MOSFETs reducing layout-sensitive ringing |
| Protection Features | Thermal shutdown (170°C), monotonic start-up into prebiased outputs, precision enable with UVLO hysteresis, and cycle-by-cycle current limiting |
Pinout & Package
LM5165YQDGSRQ1 is housed in a 10-pin VSON package (DRC) with 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm body size and 0.5-mm pitch, featuring an exposed thermal pad connected to GND for enhanced thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW | Switching node | Drain connection of integrated PMOS high-side and NMOS low-side switches; ties directly to inductor switch node |
| VIN | Input supply rail | Primary power input for high-side FET and internal bias LDO; requires low-ESR ceramic input capacitor placed adjacent |
| ILIM | Current limit programming | Four preset peak current thresholds (48–240 mA) selected by resistor to GND; shorted for max setting |
| SS | Soft-start timing | Disables (100-kΩ to GND), fixes at 900 µs (open), or programs externally via capacitor; ensures monotonic VOUT ramp |
| RT | Mode selection & on-time | Short to GND selects PFM; resistor to GND sets COT frequency - e.g., 133 kΩ yields ~230 kHz |
| PGOOD | Power-good flag | Open-drain NFET output pulled high externally; asserts high when VOUT reaches 94% of 3.3 V target |
| EN | Enable/UVLO input | Active-high logic with 1.212 V threshold and 68 mV hysteresis; enables sequencing and programmable input undervoltage lockout |
| VOUT | Fixed output feedback | Internally connected to 3.3 V divider; no external resistors required - differs from FB pin on adjustable variants |
| HYS | UVLO hysteresis control | Drain of internal NFET; resistor from HYS to EN divider sets UVLO hysteresis voltage independently |
| GND | Ground return | Power and signal ground reference; must be tied to exposed thermal pad and system PCB ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated PMOS/NMOS switches | Eliminates external MOSFETs and rectifier diode; 2 Ω / 1 Ω RDS(on) enables compact 3.3 V bias rail with <150 mV dropout at 100 mA |
| 100% duty-cycle operation | Enables VIN-to-VOUT regulation down to 3.3 V even when input sags to 3.6 V during cold-crank, avoiding brownout |
| Programmable current limit | Four discrete ILIM settings allow precise inductor selection - e.g., 120 mA limit supports 220 µH inductor for 150 mA max design |
| Active slew rate control | Reduces high-frequency EMI emissions without external snubbers, simplifying compliance testing for automotive EMC requirements |
| No loop compensation required | PFM and COT architectures inherently stable - removes 3–5 external compensation components and associated layout sensitivity |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5164YQDGSRQ1 | Same pinout, 1-A output, higher IQ (25 µA), wider 3–100 V input range | Supports higher current loads (e.g., multi-rail PMICs); less suitable for ultra-low-power always-on nodes | Select when >150 mA output or >65 V transient tolerance is required; retains same PCB layout |
| TPS63060-Q1 | Buck-boost topology, 2.5–5.5 V output, 1-A output, 17 µA IQ, different pinout | Regulates through battery voltage collapse (down to 1.8 V input); not drop-in due to topology and pin assignment | Choose for applications needing VIN < VOUT capability (e.g., 3.3 V rail from single-cell Li-ion); requires full schematic and layout revision |
Compared with LM5165YQDGSRQ1, LM5164YQDGSRQ1 offers higher current and input voltage headroom but sacrifices ultra-low IQ, while TPS63060-Q1 provides buck-boost flexibility at the cost of pin compatibility and added complexity - making LM5165YQDGSRQ1 optimal for fixed 3.3 V, low-IQ, high-input-voltage automotive bias rails.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the LM5165YQDGSRQ1?
The LM5165YQDGSRQ1 delivers up to 150 mA of continuous DC output current at 3.3 V in COT mode, with thermal derating based on PCB copper area and ambient temperature. At 25°C ambient with 2-layer board and 2-in² 2-oz copper, full 150 mA is sustainable; above 85°C ambient, output current reduces linearly per thermal resistance (RθJA = 47.7°C/W). The LM5165YQDGSRQ1 datasheet specifies 150 mA as the maximum rated output under recommended conditions.
Does the LM5165YQDGSRQ1 require external compensation components?
No, the LM5165YQDGSRQ1 does not require external compensation components. Its PFM and COT control architectures are inherently stable across input voltage and load ranges, eliminating the need for loop compensation networks. This reduces bill-of-materials count by up to five passive components and removes layout-sensitive feedback trace routing - a key advantage confirmed in Section 7.1 of the LM5165YQDGSRQ1 datasheet and validated in typical application circuits.
How is the current limit configured on the LM5165YQDGSRQ1?
The LM5165YQDGSRQ1 current limit is configured via the ILIM pin: connecting a resistor from ILIM to GND selects one of four preset peak current thresholds (48 mA, 60 mA, 120 mA, or 240 mA). Shorting ILIM to GND sets the maximum limit (240 mA for VSON package). Resistor values are specified in the LM5165YQDGSRQ1 Electrical Characteristics table (Section 6.5), and the setting directly determines inductor saturation current selection - critical for optimizing size and efficiency in automotive designs.
What package type is used for the LM5165YQDGSRQ1?
The LM5165YQDGSRQ1 uses a 10-pin VSON package (DRC) with 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm body size, 0.5-mm pin pitch, and an exposed thermal pad. This package is distinct from the VSSOP-10 (DGS) variant and is optimized for thermal performance in space-constrained automotive modules. The exposed pad must be soldered to a GND plane for effective heat dissipation, and thermal metrics (RθJA = 47.7°C/W) are published in Section 6.4 of the LM5165YQDGSRQ1 datasheet.
Is the LM5165YQDGSRQ1 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the LM5165YQDGSRQ1 is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications at Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C ambient temperature), with HBM ESD rating of ±2 kV and CDM rating of ±500 V (pins 1, 5, 6, 10: ±750 V). These qualifications are explicitly stated in the Features section and verified in Sections 6.2 and 6.3 of the LM5165YQDGSRQ1 datasheet, confirming suitability for under-hood and cabin-mounted electronic control units.
