For engineers reviewing the LM53601LQDSXRQ1 datasheet, LM53601LQDSXRQ1 pinout, LM53601LQDSXRQ1 application, or LM53601LQDSXRQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive-grade thermal and electrical specs, and real-world alternative selection guidance for safety-critical 12-V vehicle systems.
Technical Context
The LM53601LQDSXRQ1 implements peak current mode control with internal compensation, enabling stable regulation across wide VIN (3.55–36 V) and load (0–1000 mA) ranges while maintaining fixed 2.1-MHz operation. Its architecture supports seamless PWM/PFM transitions and achieves 3.3-V output from as low as 3.8-V input via optimized low-dropout design.
It integrates a 3-V internal regulator (VCC), open-drain RESET with 4–8 ms delay and ±3% hysteresis, pin-selectable forced PWM or AUTO mode via SYNC/MODE, and thermal shutdown at 151–185°C with 10°C hysteresis - all qualified for –40°C to 150°C junction operation per AEC-Q100.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 1000 mA max - supports full-power operation of automotive camera modules and radar sensors without external current boosting. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.55 V to 36 V (transient to 42 V/100 ms) - eliminates need for upstream surge protection in 12-V battery systems with cold-crank and load-dump events. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.1 MHz fixed - enables use of compact 1-µH inductors and avoids AM-band interference in cabin-mounted electronics. |
| Quiescent Current | 23 µA typical - sustains always-on functionality in parking-mode ADAS systems without draining battery. |
| Shutdown Current | 1.8 µA - meets automotive low-power sleep-state requirements for ECU-level power gating. |
| Output Voltage | 5.0 V fixed - factory-trimmed to ±1.5% accuracy over temperature, eliminating external feedback resistor network. |
| Spread Spectrum | Enabled - reduces peak EMI by ±4% frequency dithering, easing CISPR-25 Class 5 compliance in EMC-sensitive zones. |

Pinout & Package
LM53601LQDSXRQ1 uses a 10-pin WSON (DSX) package, 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm, with wettable flanks and exposed thermal pad (DAP) requiring direct connection to PCB ground plane for thermal management.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SW | Switch node | Connects directly to inductor; carries high di/dt switching current - requires short, low-inductance layout to minimize EMI and voltage spikes. |
| 2 BOOT | High-side gate driver supply | Supplies gate drive for upper MOSFET; requires 100-nF ceramic capacitor between BOOT and SW to sustain charge during high-side conduction. |
| 3 VCC | Internal 3-V regulator output | Power source for control circuitry; must be decoupled with 1.0-µF capacitor to AGND (fixed version) - critical for startup stability. |
| 4 FB | Feedback input | Fixed 5-V output sensing node; connects directly to output rail - bypassed with 10-nF capacitor adjacent to pin to suppress noise coupling. |
| 5 AGND | Analog ground reference | Ground return for FB and internal analog circuits; must be routed separately from power ground to avoid noise injection into regulation loop. |
| 6 RESET | Open-drain reset output | Asserts low on fault or EN deactivation; requires external pull-up; provides filtered, delayed release (4–8 ms) for clean system boot sequencing. |
| 7 EN | Enable input | Active-high logic control; threshold 1.7–2.0 V with 0.4–0.55 V hysteresis - allows direct connection to microcontroller GPIO or battery monitor signal. |
| 8 VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 3.55–36 V; requires local 10-µF ceramic input capacitor placed adjacent to pin to suppress ripple and transients. |
| 9 SYNC/MODE | Mode selection & sync input | Configures AUTO (light-load PFM) or forced PWM; accepts external 1.9–2.3 MHz clock for synchronization - disables spread spectrum when active. |
| 10 GND | Power ground | Primary ground return for power switches; must be connected to low-impedance ground plane - ties to DAP for thermal conduction. |
| DAP | Exposed thermal pad | Thermal interface only - electrically isolated from internal circuitry; must be soldered to solid copper ground plane for RθJA = 46.2°C/W performance. |
Key Features

|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for –40°C to 125°C ambient operation with HBM ±2000 V and CDM ±750 V ESD robustness - meets automotive functional safety baseline requirements. |
| Integrated RESET with delay & filtering | Eliminates external supervisor IC; provides glitch-immune system reset with 24-µs filter and 4–8 ms release delay - ensures reliable MCU boot after power stabilization. |
| Pin-selectable PWM/PFM mode | SYNC/MODE pin toggles between high-efficiency light-load PFM (AUTO) and constant-frequency forced PWM - enables dynamic trade-off between efficiency and EMI in variable-load applications. |
| Internal compensation & soft-start | Reduces BOM count by removing external compensation network; 1.3–4.5 ms programmable soft-start prevents inrush current and output overshoot during power-up. |
| Low dropout capability | Regulates 5-V output from input as low as 5.5 V (VDROP1 = 0.6 V) - supports operation during cold-crank (6.5 V battery) without brownout in camera ECU subsystems. |
| Wettable flank package | Enables automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints on 3-mm × 3-mm WSON - improves manufacturing yield and field reliability in automotive SMT lines. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current supported by the LM53601LQDSXRQ1?
The LM53601LQDSXRQ1 supports a maximum continuous output current of 1000 mA at 5 V output under recommended operating conditions (TJ ≤ 150°C, proper PCB thermal design). This rating is validated per AEC-Q100 and applies across the full –40°C to 150°C junction temperature range when using the specified 3-mm × 3-mm WSON package with DAP grounded to a thermal plane.
Does the LM53601LQDSXRQ1 include an integrated power-good or reset function?
Yes, the LM53601LQDSXRQ1 features an open-drain RESET output with built-in glitch filtering (24 µs) and programmable delay (4–8 ms). It asserts low during startup until output reaches 92–97% of nominal 5 V, then releases high after delay - providing a true power-good signal that eliminates the need for an external supervisory IC in automotive ECUs.
Can the LM53601LQDSXRQ1 operate with input voltages below 4 V?
Yes, the LM53601LQDSXRQ1 supports minimum input voltage of 3.55 V after startup for full functionality at 500-mA load, and 5.5 V for 100% rated 1000-mA load. Its low dropout architecture enables regulation of 5-V output from inputs as low as 5.5 V (VDROP1 = 0.6 V), making it suitable for cold-crank scenarios in 12-V automotive systems.
How does spread spectrum operation affect EMI performance of the LM53601LQDSXRQ1?
The LM53601LQDSXRQ1's spread spectrum feature dithers the 2.1-MHz switching frequency by ±4% at 30 Hz, spreading energy across a wider bandwidth and reducing peak radiated emissions. This lowers measured EMI by up to 10 dB in the 30–108 MHz band - easing CISPR-25 Class 5 compliance without adding ferrite beads or shielding cans.
Is the LM53601LQDSXRQ1 pin-compatible with other devices in the LM5360x-Q1 family?
Yes, all LM53600-Q1 and LM53601-Q1 variants share identical 10-pin WSON (DSX) package, pinout, and footprint. The LM53601LQDSXRQ1 is pin-compatible with LM536015QDSXRQ1 (5-V, no spread spectrum) and LM536013QDSXRQ1 (3.3-V, spread spectrum), enabling drop-in replacement for output voltage or EMI tuning without PCB redesign.
