Product details
Overview
LM5169FQDDARQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous buck converter with integrated 1.9-Ω high-side and 0.71-Ω low-side NFETs, delivering up to 0.65-A output current across 6 V–120 V input range, supporting FPWM mode for isolated Fly-Buck™ converter operation in battery management systems and 48-V HEV/EV power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LM5169FQDDARQ1 datasheet, LM5169FQDDARQ1 pinout, LM5169FQDDARQ1 application, or LM5169FQDDARQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 50 ns minimum on/off time, 3-µA shutdown IQ, 1.2-V internal reference, FPWM-forced CCM capability, and SO PowerPAD™ package thermal performance in high-voltage automotive environments.
Technical Context
The LM5169FQDDARQ1 implements a constant-on-time (COT) control architecture with VIN feed-forward to maintain quasi-fixed switching frequency up to 1 MHz, enabling fast transient response and stable regulation across wide input voltage swings. Its FPWM mode enforces continuous conduction across all load conditions, essential for reliable isolated Fly-Buck™ secondary output generation.
Integrated protection includes peak/valley current limiting (0.84-A peak, 0.672-A valley), input UVLO with programmable threshold (1.45–1.55 V enable), thermal shutdown at 175°C with 10°C hysteresis, and fixed 3-ms internal soft-start. The device operates from –40°C to +150°C junction temperature and supports monotonic start-up into prebiased loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 6 V to 120 V - enables direct step-down from 48-V nominal or ≥10-S battery packs without external surge suppression. |
| Output Current | 0.65 A - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and gate drivers in BMS and ADAS subsystems. |
| Switching Frequency | Up to 1 MHz - allows compact magnetics and reduced EMI filtering in space-constrained automotive modules. |
| Quiescent Current | <10 µA in auto mode - preserves battery life during vehicle sleep modes without compromising wake-up responsiveness. |
| Min On/Off Time | 50 ns - supports ultra-high step-down ratios (e.g., 48 V → 3.3 V) and near-100% duty cycle operation during cold-crank dips. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.2 V ±1.5% - provides precise output regulation stability over temperature and line/load variations. |
| Shutdown IQ | 3 µA - ensures minimal parasitic drain during system off-state, critical for always-on automotive domains. |
Pinout & Package
LM5169FQDDARQ1 is housed in an 8-pin SOIC PowerPAD™ package (4.89 mm × 3.90 mm) with exposed thermal pad soldered to GND for enhanced thermal dissipation (RθJB = 14.1°C/W). The package supports 1.27-mm pin pitch for high-voltage creepage compliance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Ground reference | Common return path for internal circuits and thermal pad connection point; must be tied to large copper plane. |
| 2 VIN | Power input | Direct connection to 6–120 V supply; powers high-side FET and internal VCC regulator; requires low-impedance layout. |
| 3 EN/UVLO | Enable & UVLO control | Programmable startup threshold (1.45–1.55 V rising); enables precision undervoltage lockout and standby mode entry. |
| 4 RT | On-time programming | Resistor-to-GND sets COT pulse width; determines switching frequency in CCM; min RT ensures ≥50 ns on-time at 120 V. |
| 5 FB | Voltage feedback | Compares output against 1.2-V internal reference; requires ≥20 mV ripple for COT loop stability. |
| 6 PGOOD | Open-drain status indicator | Signals valid regulation (1.105–1.175 V FB rising threshold); used for power-rail sequencing and fault reporting. |
| 7 BST | Bootstrap supply | Connects 2.2-nF X7R ceramic capacitor to SW; biases high-side gate driver; internal diode recharges BST during low-SW phase. |
| 8 SW | Switching node | Internal connection between high-side FET source and low-side FET drain; drives external inductor; high dv/dt node requiring careful layout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| FPWM mode | Forces CCM across full load range, enabling stable isolated Fly-Buck™ secondary output generation without output collapse. |
| Integrated power FETs | 1.9-Ω HS and 0.71-Ω LS NFETs eliminate external MOSFETs and drivers, reducing BOM count and PCB area by >30% vs discrete solutions. |
| Ultra-low shutdown IQ | 3 µA - meets automotive OEM requirements for sub-5-µA system standby current in always-on domains like telematics. |
| Smart current limiting | Peak (0.84 A) + valley (0.672 A) detection with hiccup recovery - prevents thermal runaway during sustained short-circuit on primary or secondary outputs. |
| COT control with no compensation | Eliminates external loop compensation components (RC networks), simplifying design and improving reliability across temperature and aging. |
Applications
| Automotive Battery Management System (BMS) | 48-V HEV/EV Domain Controller Power Supply |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5169PQDDARQ1 | Auto-mode (PFM/DEM) instead of FPWM; 0.84-A hiccup current limit vs same peak/valley thresholds. | Better light-load efficiency but lacks forced CCM; unsuitable for Fly-Buck™ isolation where secondary output stability is required. | Select LM5169PQDDARQ1 only when ultra-low IQ (<10 µA) dominates over isolated output needs. |
| LM5164FQDDARQ1 | Lower 0.3-A output current; identical FPWM mode, pinout, and Fly-Buck™ capability; shares same SO PowerPAD™ package. | Matches LM5169FQDDARQ1 functionality for lower-power subsystems (e.g., sensor hubs), but cannot support >0.3-A loads. | Use LM5164FQDDARQ1 as drop-in replacement only if output current demand is ≤0.3 A and thermal margin permits. |
Compared with LM5169PQDDARQ1, LM5169FQDDARQ1 guarantees CCM operation for isolated Fly-Buck™ use cases, while LM5164FQDDARQ1 offers identical FPWM behavior at reduced current capacity-making LM5169FQDDARQ1 the sole choice for 0.65-A automotive primary/secondary power delivery requiring robust transient immunity and thermal resilience.

FAQ
What distinguishes LM5169FQDDARQ1 from LM5169PQDDARQ1?
The LM5169FQDDARQ1 is factory-configured for FPWM (forced pulse-width modulation) mode, ensuring continuous conduction across all load conditions-critical for stable Fly-Buck™ isolated output generation. In contrast, LM5169PQDDARQ1 uses auto mode with diode emulation and PFM, achieving lower light-load IQ (<10 µA) but losing CCM guarantee. Both share identical pinout, package, and protection features, but only LM5169FQDDARQ1 supports reliable secondary-side regulation under dynamic loads.
Does LM5169FQDDARQ1 support Fly-Buck™ converter topology?
Yes, LM5169FQDDARQ1 explicitly supports Fly-Buck™ operation through its FPWM mode, which maintains continuous conduction regardless of load. This prevents secondary output collapse during light-load conditions-a known failure mode in PFM-based buck converters. The device's 50 ns minimum on/off time, integrated BST circuit, and hiccup-protected current limiting ensure robust dual-output (isolated + non-isolated) performance in automotive BMS and gate-driver applications.
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM5169FQDDARQ1?
The absolute maximum input voltage rating for LM5169FQDDARQ1 is 120 V, with recommended operating range from 6 V to 115 V. This rating allows direct interface with 48-V automotive systems, high-cell-count battery packs (≥10 S Li-ion), and industrial 24–48-V rails while surviving load-dump transients per ISO 7637-2. Operation at 120 V is limited to short-duration transients; sustained operation above 115 V risks exceeding thermal limits.
How does the LM5169FQDDARQ1 achieve ultra-low quiescent current?
LM5169FQDDARQ1 achieves 3 µA shutdown IQ by disabling all switching and bias circuits except the EN/UVLO comparator and internal VCC LDO during shutdown. In FPWM active mode, it draws 420–880 µA (typical), but enters ultra-low IQ state only in auto-mode variants-not LM5169FQDDARQ1. For LM5169FQDDARQ1, low IQ is maintained via optimized gate drive and integrated regulators, not diode emulation, prioritizing CCM stability over sub-10-µA light-load operation.
Is LM5169FQDDARQ1 pin-compatible with other LM516x-Q1 devices?
Yes, LM5169FQDDARQ1 is pin-to-pin compatible with LM5164FQDDARQ1, LM5163-Q1, LM5017, LM5013-Q1, and LM34927 per TI documentation. All share the same 8-pin SO PowerPAD™ footprint, identical pin functions (VIN, SW, BST, etc.), and matching thermal pad layout. This enables hardware reuse across power levels-from 0.3-A (LM5164) to 0.65-A (LM5169)-with only RT resistor and output filter adjustments needed for frequency and current scaling.
