Product details
Overview
LM5169PQDDARQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous buck converter delivering up to 0.65 A output current, operating from 6 V to 120 V input, featuring FPWM mode for Fly-Buck™ isolated dual-output capability, integrated 1.9-Ω high-side and 0.71-Ω low-side NFETs, and fixed 3-ms soft-start - deployed in HEV/EV battery management systems and high-cell-count e-bike power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LM5169PQDDARQ1 datasheet, LM5169PQDDARQ1 pinout, LM5169PQDDARQ1 application, or LM5169PQDDARQ1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 50 ns minimum on/off time enabling 48-V-to-3.3-V direct step-down, FPWM-mode CCM operation for fly-buck isolation, <10 µA auto-mode quiescent current, and SOIC PowerPAD™ thermal performance with exposed pad grounding.
Technical Context
The LM5169PQDDARQ1 implements a constant-on-time (COT) control architecture with VIN feed-forward to maintain quasi-fixed switching frequency across 6–120 V input range; on-time is set by external RT resistor and inversely proportional to VIN, supporting up to 1 MHz operation with 50 ns minimum pulse width.
It integrates both high-side and low-side NFETs (1.9 Ω / 0.71 Ω), supports two operational modes - FPWM (forced continuous conduction for fly-buck) and auto-mode (diode emulation + ultra-low IQ <10 µA) - and includes peak/valley current limiting, thermal shutdown at 175°C, and open-drain PGOOD with 1.08 V threshold.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 6 V to 120 V - enables direct regulation from 48-V automotive bus or ≥10S Li-ion packs without pre-regulator. |
| Output Current | 0.65 A - sufficient for powering MCU cores, CAN transceivers, and sensor interfaces in BMS modules. |
| Switching Frequency | Up to 1 MHz - allows compact magnetics and reduced EMI filtering in space-constrained EV ECUs. |
| Min On/Off Time | 50 ns - supports >10:1 step-down ratios (e.g., 48 V → 3.3 V) while maintaining stability and duty-cycle headroom. |
| Quiescent Current | <10 µA in auto mode - extends standby runtime in always-on vehicle subsystems without draining 12-V auxiliary battery. |
| Fly-Buck Capability | FPWM mode only - ensures CCM operation required for coupled-inductor isolated secondary output generation. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 175°C with 10°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking in under-hood environments. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.2 V ±1.5% - enables precise output regulation with standard resistor-divider networks for common rail voltages. |
Pinout & Package
LM5169PQDDARQ1 uses an 8-pin SOIC PowerPAD™ package (4.89 mm × 3.90 mm) with exposed thermal pad (EP) soldered to GND for enhanced thermal dissipation in automotive under-hood applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1) | Ground reference | Common return for internal circuits and EP connection point; must be tied to large copper pour for thermal and noise control. |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Power input | Direct connection to 6–120 V supply; requires low-impedance path to minimize voltage spikes during high di/dt switching. |
| EN/UVLO (Pin 3) | Enable & UVLO control | 1.5 V enable threshold enables programmable undervoltage lockout; 1.1 V standby entry preserves bias regulator functionality. |
| RT (Pin 4) | On-time programming | Resistor-to-GND sets COT on-time; determines switching frequency in CCM and ensures ≥50 ns minimum pulse width. |
| FB (Pin 5) | Feedback input | Monitors output via resistor divider; compares to 1.2 V reference to regulate VOUT; requires ≥20 mV ripple for COT stability. |
| PGOOD (Pin 6) | Open-drain status indicator | Signals valid regulation (1.08–1.14 V FB window); requires external 10–100 kΩ pull-up for power-rail sequencing or fault reporting. |
| BST (Pin 7) | Bootstrap supply | Connects 2.2-nF X7R ceramic capacitor to SW; powers high-side gate driver; improper sizing risks VCC regulator overstress. |
| SW (Pin 8) | Switching node | Internal connection between HS-FET source and LS-FET drain; routes to power inductor; critical for EMI layout and snubber design. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Power Stage | 1.9-Ω HS and 0.71-Ω LS NFETs eliminate external MOSFETs and drivers, reducing BOM count and layout complexity. |
| FPWM Mode Support | Forced CCM across full load range enables stable Fly-Buck™ isolated secondary output generation without regulation loss. |
| Ultra-Low IQ Auto Mode | <10 µA quiescent current extends battery life in always-on automotive modules such as telematics or ADAS sensors. |
| Robust Protection Suite | Peak/valley current limit, input UVLO, thermal shutdown, hiccup-mode overcurrent recovery, and monotonic start-up into prebiased loads. |
| COT Control Architecture | No external compensation required; fast transient response with predictive on-time pulses and inherent line/feed-forward stability. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 | Qualified for –40°C to +125°C ambient operation - meets stringent reliability requirements for engine bay and battery pack mounting. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5169FQDDARQ1 | Same 0.65-A rating and FPWM mode, but factory-configured for hiccup overcurrent protection instead of auto-mode PFM. | Preferred where secondary-side overload recovery must be guaranteed (e.g., Fly-Buck™ with unregulated secondary loads). | Select LM5169FQDDARQ1 when hiccup-mode fault handling is required; LM5169PQDDARQ1 is optimal for ultra-low-IQ standby operation. |
| LM5164PQDDARQ1 | Lower 0.3-A output, same package and FPWM/auto-mode options; shares pinout but differs in current-limit thresholds (0.42 A vs. 0.84 A). | Suitable for lower-power domains like sensor hubs or CAN nodes where 0.65-A headroom is unnecessary. | Choose LM5164PQDDARQ1 for cost-sensitive, lower-current applications; LM5169PQDDARQ1 provides necessary headroom for BMS host processors. |
Compared with LM5169FQDDARQ1, LM5169PQDDARQ1 offers superior light-load efficiency via auto-mode PFM but lacks hiccup recovery; versus LM5164PQDDARQ1, it doubles output current capacity and increases current-limit margin - critical for BMS processor rail stability during cell balancing surges.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM5169PQDDARQ1?
The LM5169PQDDARQ1 has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 120 V on the VIN pin, with recommended operating range from 6 V to 115 V. This wide range supports direct regulation from 48-V automotive buses, high-cell-count battery packs (e.g., 13S Li-ion), and industrial 24/48-V systems without external surge suppression components.
Does LM5169PQDDARQ1 support isolated Fly-Buck™ converter topologies?
Yes, LM5169PQDDARQ1 supports Fly-Buck™ operation exclusively in FPWM mode, which enforces continuous conduction mode across all load conditions - a requirement for stable coupled-inductor isolated secondary output regulation. Auto-mode disables FPWM and is unsuitable for Fly-Buck™ configurations.
What is the purpose of the EN/UVLO pin on LM5169PQDDARQ1?
The EN/UVLO pin on LM5169PQDDARQ1 serves dual functions: precision enable control (1.5 V rising threshold initiates startup) and programmable undervoltage lockout (1.1 V rising threshold enables standby mode with internal VCC regulator active but no switching). This allows flexible system-level power sequencing and brownout protection.
How does the COT control architecture improve transient response in LM5169PQDDARQ1?
The constant-on-time (COT) architecture in LM5169PQDDARQ1 delivers near-instantaneous load transient response by generating predictive on-pulses based on feedback error - eliminating traditional loop compensation delays. During rapid load steps, it minimizes off-time to sustain duty cycle, reducing output voltage undershoot to typically <2% in automotive BMS applications.
What thermal performance can be expected from LM5169PQDDARQ1 in a typical automotive PCB layout?
In a standard 4-layer PCB with 2 oz copper and 49 cm² thermal pad area, LM5169PQDDARQ1 achieves a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 22°C/W on evaluation modules. With proper EP grounding and thermal vias, it sustains 0.65-A output at +125°C ambient while maintaining junction temperature below 150°C - meeting AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements.
