Product details
Overview
LM53601AQDSXTQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous step-down DC/DC converter delivering up to 1000 mA output current, operating from 3.55 V to 36 V input, with 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 LM53601AQDSXTQ1 datasheet, LM53601AQDSXTQ1 pinout, LM53601AQDSXTQ1 application, or LM53601AQDSXTQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive-grade thermal and ESD specs, and real-world implementation constraints for camera and ADAS subsystems.
Technical Context
The LM53601AQDSXTQ1 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 without external loop components. Its 2.1-MHz fixed-frequency operation avoids AM-band interference and permits miniaturized inductors and ceramic capacitors.
It integrates a high-side MOSFET (220 mΩ RDS(on)) and low-side MOSFET (200 mΩ), supports forced PWM or AUTO mode via SYNC/MODE pin, and features a dedicated open-drain RESET output with 4–8 ms delay and ±3% hysteresis - eliminating need for external supervisory ICs in safety-critical automotive modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 1000 mA max - supports full-power operation of image sensors and SerDes interfaces in automotive cameras. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.55 V to 36 V (transient tolerant to 42 V/100 ms) - accommodates cold-crank, load-dump, and wide-battery-range conditions. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.1 MHz fixed - enables use of ≤2.2-µH inductors and avoids AM radio band (0.53–1.71 MHz). |
| Quiescent Current | 23 µA - sustains always-on functionality in parking-mode camera systems without battery drain. |
| Junction Temperature Range | –40°C to 150°C - qualified for under-hood and cabin-mounted ADAS ECUs per AEC-Q100 Grade 1. |
| RESET Output | Open-drain with 4–8 ms delay and 92–97% / 105–110% VOUT thresholds - provides reliable power-good signaling without external RC timing. |
| Package | 10-pin WSON (3 mm × 3 mm) with wettable flanks - supports automated optical inspection (AOI) and robust solder-joint reliability in automotive reflow. |
Pinout & Package
LM53601AQDSXTQ1 uses a 10-pin WSON package (3.00 mm × 3.00 mm) with exposed thermal pad (DAP) tied to GND for enhanced heat dissipation. Wettable flanks enable solder fillet inspection per IPC-A-610.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SW | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt switching current - requires tight layout to minimize EMI and voltage spikes. |
| 2 BOOT | High-side gate driver supply | Requires 100-nF capacitor between SW and BOOT; critical for proper high-side FET turn-on. |
| 3 VCC | Internal 3-V regulator output | Supplies internal control circuitry; bypass with 1.0-µF capacitor to AGND (fixed) or GND (adjustable). |
| 4 FB | Feedback input (adjustable version) | Connects to resistor divider on output; sets VOUT with 1.0 V reference - enables 3.3–6 V adjustable range. |
| 5 BIAS | VCC bias source | Connected to output node; supplies VCC regulator - places feedback path outside main ground loop for stability. |
| 6 RESET | Open-drain reset output | Asserts low on fault or EN=low; requires external pull-up - replaces discrete supervisor IC in camera modules. |
| 7 EN | Enable input | Active-high logic; 1.7–2.0 V threshold with 0.4 V hysteresis - supports direct connection to MCU GPIO or ignition-sense rail. |
| 8 VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 3.55–36 V; bypass directly to GND with low-ESR capacitor - critical for transient immunity and EMI suppression. |
| 9 SYNC/MODE | Mode selection & sync input | Tied high = forced PWM; tied low = AUTO with diode emulation; accepts 1.9–2.3 MHz external clock - enables system-level timing coordination. |
| 10 GND | Power ground | Primary return path for VIN, SW, and internal circuits - must be connected to solid ground plane under DAP. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated high- and low-side MOSFETs | 220 mΩ / 200 mΩ RDS(on) - eliminates external power switches and reduces BOM count in space-constrained camera PCBs. |
| Internal compensation | No external compensation network required - simplifies design validation and improves production yield across temperature and load variations. |
| Spread spectrum option (via variant) | ±4% frequency modulation - reduces peak EMI by spreading energy across 1.9–2.3 MHz band, easing CISPR 25 Class 5 compliance. |
| Soft-start time | 1.3–4.5 ms - prevents inrush current during power-up of image sensor arrays and MIPI CSI-2 transceivers. |
| Thermal shutdown | 151–185°C rising threshold with 10°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload in enclosed rear-view camera housings. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current supported by the LM53601AQDSXTQ1?
The LM53601AQDSXTQ1 supports a maximum continuous output current of 1000 mA under recommended operating conditions (TJ ≤ 150°C, proper PCB thermal design). This rating is validated across –40°C to 125°C ambient and accounts for internal MOSFET RDS(on), thermal resistance (RθJA = 46.2°C/W), and derating above 125°C junction temperature. Exceeding 1000 mA risks thermal shutdown activation.
Does the LM53601AQDSXTQ1 require external compensation components?
No, the LM53601AQDSXTQ1 features fully internal compensation - no external Type II or Type III compensation network is needed. Its peak current mode architecture with built-in error amplifier and compensation circuitry ensures stable operation across all valid input/output combinations and load conditions, reducing design complexity and board area versus traditional buck controllers.
How does the RESET output of the LM53601AQDSXTQ1 function during startup and fault conditions?
The LM53601AQDSXTQ1 RESET output is an open-drain signal that remains low until VOUT reaches 92–97% of its target (falling threshold), then releases high after a 4–8 ms filter delay. It asserts low again if VOUT drops below 92–97% or EN is pulled low. This behavior provides glitch-free power-good indication without external RC networks - a key advantage over discrete supervisor ICs.
Can the LM53601AQDSXTQ1 operate with an input voltage below 3.8 V?
Yes, the LM53601AQDSXTQ1 can start and regulate down to 3.55 V after startup (per Section 7.6), though minimum functional input is 3.8 V at full 1000-mA load. Below 3.8 V, output accuracy degrades and dropout behavior increases - verified in datasheet testing with VIN_MIN = 3.55 V at 500-mA load and VOUT = 3.3 V. Cold-crank compatibility is thus maintained without external boost assist.
What is the purpose of the BIAS pin on the LM53601AQDSXTQ1, and how must it be connected?
The BIAS pin on the LM53601AQDSXTQ1 supplies the internal VCC regulator and must be connected directly to the output voltage node (e.g., 3.3 V or 5 V rail). A 10-nF bypass capacitor is required adjacent to the pin. This configuration decouples VCC regulation from the main ground path, improving noise immunity and stability - especially critical for adjustable-output configurations where FB lacks a dedicated AGND terminal.
