Product details
Overview
LM53601AQDSXRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous buck DC/DC converter delivering up to 1000 mA output current, operating from 3.55 V to 36 V input with transient tolerance to 42 V, fixed 2.1-MHz switching frequency, and 23 µA quiescent current - used in automotive camera power rails requiring compact, high-efficiency 3.3-V or 5-V regulation.
For engineers reviewing the LM53601AQDSXRQ1 datasheet, LM53601AQDSXRQ1 pinout, LM53601AQDSXRQ1 application, or LM53601AQDSXRQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive-grade thermal and ESD specs, and real-world selection guidance for camera and ADAS subsystems.
Technical Context
The LM53601AQDSXRQ1 implements peak current mode control with internal compensation, enabling stable regulation across wide VIN (3.55–36 V) and VOUT (adjustable, 3.3 V, or 5 V) ranges while maintaining 2.1-MHz fixed-frequency operation above the AM band. Its architecture supports seamless PWM/PFM transitions and diode emulation in AUTO mode.
It integrates a 3-V internal regulator (VCC), open-drain RESET with 4–8 ms delay and 24-µs glitch filtering, external SYNC/MODE pin for forced PWM or synchronization, and thermal shutdown at 151–185°C. The device uses dual MOSFETs with 220-mΩ high-side and 200-mΩ low-side RDS(on), supporting 1.5–2.1-A high-side current limiting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 1000 mA max - supports full-load operation in automotive camera modules without derating at 125°C ambient. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.55 V to 36 V - enables direct battery connection (12 V/24 V systems) with 42-V transient tolerance for load-dump immunity. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.1 MHz fixed - allows use of small 1-µH inductors and avoids AM-band interference, reducing EMI filter size. |
| Quiescent Current | 23 µA - sustains ultra-low-power sleep modes in always-on ADAS sensors without auxiliary LDOs. |
| Shutdown Current | 1.8 µA - eliminates need for external load switches in ignition-off scenarios. |
| Output Options | Adjustable (via FB divider) - provides design flexibility for non-standard rail voltages (3.3 V to 6 V) with ±2% accuracy. |
| Junction Temp Range | –40°C to 150°C - meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements for under-hood and camera housing environments. |
Pinout & Package
LM53601AQDSXRQ1 is housed in a wettable-flank 10-pin WSON (DSX) package, 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm, with exposed thermal pad (DAP) requiring direct solder connection to PCB ground plane for thermal performance (RθJA = 46.2°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SW | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt switching current - requires short, low-inductance trace to minimize ringing. |
| 2 BOOT | High-side gate driver supply | Supplies gate drive for upper MOSFET; requires 100-nF ceramic capacitor between BOOT and SW. |
| 3 VCC | Internal 3-V regulator output | Power source for control circuitry; bypass with 1.0-µF capacitor to GND (not AGND) for adjustable versions. |
| 4 FB | Feedback input (adjustable version) | Sets output voltage via resistor divider; input bias current <20 nA ensures minimal divider error. |
| 5 BIAS | VCC regulator power source | Connected to output rail; supplies VCC regulator - bypass with 10-nF capacitor adjacent to pin. |
| 6 RESET | Open-drain reset output | Asserts low on fault or EN=low; 4–8 ms delay and 24-µs glitch filter eliminate false resets during transients. |
| 7 EN | Enable input | Logic-high active; threshold 1.7–2.0 V with 0.4–0.55 V hysteresis - supports direct connection to microcontroller GPIO. |
| 8 VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 3.55–36 V; requires local 10-µF ceramic input capacitor placed adjacent to pin and GND. |
| 9 SYNC/MODE | Mode control & sync input | Tied low for AUTO mode (PFM + diode emulation); tied high for forced PWM; accepts 1.9–2.3 MHz sync signal. |
| 10 GND | Power ground | Primary return path for VIN, SW, and control circuits - must be connected to solid ground plane under DAP. |
| DAP | Exposed thermal pad | Electrically connected to GND only; sole purpose is thermal conduction - no electrical signaling function. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Spread spectrum option | Reduces peak EMI by ±4% frequency dithering - improves CISPR-25 Class 5 compliance without added shielding. |
| Pin-selectable forced PWM | Eliminates audible noise and output ripple variation in sensitive imaging systems by disabling PFM mode. |
| Integrated RESET with delay | Replaces discrete supervisor ICs - provides system-ready indication after soft-start completion and output stabilization. |
| Internal compensation | Removes need for external compensation network - reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity for 3.3-V/5-V outputs. |
| Wettable flank package | Enables automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints - critical for zero-defect automotive manufacturing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM53600AQDSXRQ1 | 650-mA rated output; identical pinout, package, and feature set except lower current limit and reduced high-side switch RDS(on) (1.35 A vs 1.83 A). | Targeted at lower-power camera modules or sensors where 1-A capability is unnecessary. | Select when load current ≤650 mA and cost optimization is prioritized over headroom. |
| TPS543B20RTWR | 3-A output, 2.2-MHz switching, integrated FETs, but requires external compensation and lacks spread spectrum or wettable flanks. | Used in higher-power ADAS ECUs needing >1-A rails; not AEC-Q100 certified out-of-box. | Choose only if higher current and programmability outweigh automotive qualification and layout simplicity. |
Compared with LM53600AQDSXRQ1, the LM53601AQDSXRQ1 offers 54% higher output current and improved thermal margin at 150°C junction, while TPS543B20RTWR trades automotive qualification and integrated features for raw power density - making LM53601AQDSXRQ1 optimal for qualified, space-constrained camera and body electronics.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current supported by the LM53601AQDSXRQ1?
The LM53601AQDSXRQ1 supports a maximum recommended output current of 1000 mA across its full operating temperature range (–40°C to 150°C junction). This rating is validated per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 conditions and accounts for thermal derating in high-ambient environments. Exceeding 1000 mA may trigger current-limit protection or thermal shutdown, especially above 125°C ambient.
Does the LM53601AQDSXRQ1 require external compensation components?
No, the LM53601AQDSXRQ1 features fully internal compensation, eliminating the need for external RC networks. This simplifies layout, reduces BOM count, and ensures stability across all supported output configurations (3.3 V, 5 V, or adjustable) when using recommended inductor and capacitor values from the datasheet.
How does the RESET output of the LM53601AQDSXRQ1 behave during startup and fault conditions?
The LM53601AQDSXRQ1 RESET output remains low until the output voltage reaches 92–97% of its target (e.g., 3.04–3.20 V for 3.3 V output), then asserts high after a 4–8 ms delay. It goes low again if EN is deasserted, output drops below threshold, or thermal shutdown activates - providing reliable system supervision without external circuitry.
Can the LM53601AQDSXRQ1 operate with an input voltage below 3.8 V?
Yes - the LM53601AQDSXRQ1 can start and regulate from as low as 3.55 V after startup, though full functionality (including specified efficiency and regulation accuracy) requires ≥3.8 V for 3.3-V output. Below 3.8 V, it enters dropout mode with reduced duty cycle; minimum input-to-output differential is 0.6 V at 1-A load.
Is the LM53601AQDSXRQ1 pin-compatible with other devices in the LM536xx-Q1 family?
Yes - the LM53601AQDSXRQ1 shares identical 10-pin WSON (DSX) package, pinout, and footprint with all LM53600/01-Q1 variants, including LM53600AQDSXRQ1 and LM536013QDSXRQ1. This enables drop-in replacement across output voltage and current variants without PCB redesign.
