Product details
Overview
LM53601LQDSXTQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous step-down DC/DC converter delivering up to 1000 mA at 5 V output, operating from 3.55 V to 36 V input with transient tolerance to 42 V, fixed 2.1-MHz switching frequency, and spread-spectrum EMI reduction - used in ADAS camera power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LM53601LQDSXTQ1 datasheet, LM53601LQDSXTQ1 pinout, LM53601LQDSXTQ1 application, or LM53601LQDSXTQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive-grade thermal and electrical specs, and real-world implementation constraints for camera and driver-assistance systems.
Technical Context
The LM53601LQDSXTQ1 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 2.1-MHz fixed-frequency operation. Its architecture supports seamless PWM/PFM transitions and diode emulation in AUTO mode.
It integrates a 3-V internal LDO (VCC), open-drain RESET with 4–8 ms delay and ±4% hysteresis, SYNC/MODE pin for external clock synchronization or forced PWM/AUTO selection, and thermal shutdown at 151–185°C with 10°C hysteresis - all qualified per AEC-Q100 with junction temperature range –40°C to 150°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 1000 mA maximum continuous load - supports full-power operation of automotive cameras and radar sensors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.55 V to 36 V (transient-rated to 42 V for ≤100 ms) - eliminates need for external surge protection in 12-V/24-V vehicle systems. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.1 MHz nominal (±10%) - enables use of compact 1–2.2 µH inductors and avoids AM-band interference. |
| Quiescent Current | 23 µA typical - sustains low-power sleep modes without auxiliary LDOs in always-on ADAS modules. |
| Shutdown Current | 1.8 µA at 25°C - meets automotive battery drain requirements for extended key-off periods. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0 V ±1.5% over temperature and line - ensures stable USB-peripheral or image sensor biasing. |
| Spread Spectrum | Enabled (L-suffix variant) - reduces peak EMI by ±4% frequency dithering, easing CISPR-25 Class 5 compliance. |
| Junction Temperature | –40°C to 150°C - supports under-hood deployment without derating in engine compartment proximity. |
Pinout & Package
LM53601LQDSXTQ1 uses a 10-pin WSON (DSX) package, 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm body size, 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 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 ceramic capacitor between BOOT and SW - critical for MOSFET turn-on reliability. |
| 3 VCC | Internal 3-V regulator output | Powers internal logic; requires 1.0-µF bypass to AGND - stabilizes control circuitry during transients. |
| 4 FB | Feedback input (fixed 5-V version) | Direct connection to output; sets regulation point - no external divider needed for 5-V operation. |
| 5 AGND | Analog ground reference | Ground reference for FB and internal error amplifier - must be star-connected near FB/VCC decoupling. |
| 6 RESET | Open-drain system 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; 1.7–2.0 V threshold with 0.4 V hysteresis - supports direct microcontroller GPIO control. |
| 8 VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 3.55–36 V; requires local 10-µF ceramic + bulk capacitance - primary path for input surge energy. |
| 9 SYNC/MODE | Frequency sync & operating mode select | Tied high = forced PWM; tied low = AUTO with diode emulation; driven = external sync - enables EMI coordination in multi-rail systems. |
| 10 GND | Power ground | Low-impedance return for VIN and SW paths - must be solidly connected to DAP and AGND via multiple vias. |
| DAP | Exposed thermal pad | Thermal-only connection to PCB ground plane - no electrical function; mandatory for 150°C junction operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for –40°C to 125°C ambient operation with HBM Class 2 and CDM Class C5 ESD robustness - meets automotive functional safety baseline. |
| Integrated RESET with delay & filtering | 4–8 ms assertion delay and 24 µs glitch filter - provides clean, noise-immune power-good signal without external RC networks. |
| Pin-selectable forced PWM / AUTO mode | SYNC/MODE pin configures light-load behavior: forced PWM for constant frequency, AUTO for diode emulation - optimizes efficiency vs. EMI trade-off. |
| Internal compensation & soft-start | No external compensation components required; 1.3–4.5 ms programmable soft-start - simplifies design and prevents inrush current damage. |
| Wettable flank WSON package | Enables automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints - improves manufacturing yield and field reliability in automotive production. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | 151–185°C trip range with 10°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking without oscillation. |
Applications
| Automotive Camera Power Supply | ADAS Domain Controller Rail |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar automotive buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM536015QDSXTQ1 | Same 5-V fixed output, but without spread spectrum - higher peak EMI at 2.1 MHz. | Suitable where EMI is managed externally or test limits are less stringent. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs EMI performance requirements in non-critical zones. |
| TPS62130AQRTJRQ1 | 3-V to 17-V input, 3-A output, 2.25-MHz switching - wider VIN not needed; higher current capability unused. | Over-specified for 1-A 5-V camera rails; larger package (3.5×3.5 mm) increases layout footprint. | Choose only if future scalability to higher loads or multi-rail sharing is required. |
Compared with LM536015QDSXTQ1, LM53601LQDSXTQ1 adds spread-spectrum EMI reduction without changing pinout or layout; versus TPS62130AQRTJRQ1, it offers tighter automotive qualification (Grade 1 vs Grade 0), smaller footprint, and lower IQ - making it optimal for space- and emission-constrained camera modules.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current supported by LM53601LQDSXTQ1?
The LM53601LQDSXTQ1 supports a maximum continuous output current of 1000 mA at 5 V output. This rating is valid across the full AEC-Q100 Grade 1 ambient temperature range (–40°C to 125°C) and junction temperature range up to 150°C, provided thermal design meets RθJA ≤ 46.2°C/W and DAP is properly connected to a ground plane. Derating applies above 125°C junction temperature.
Does LM53601LQDSXTQ1 require external compensation components?
No, LM53601LQDSXTQ1 features fully internal compensation - no external compensation network is required. The device uses peak current mode control with factory-trimmed error amplifier and compensation network, enabling stable operation with minimal external components: only input/output capacitors, inductor, BOOT capacitor, and optional SYNC resistor.
How does the RESET output of LM53601LQDSXTQ1 behave during startup and fault conditions?
The LM53601LQDSXTQ1 RESET output is an open-drain signal that remains low until the output reaches 92–97% of nominal 5 V and remains stable for 4–8 ms. It asserts low again if output drops below threshold, EN is pulled low, or thermal shutdown activates. An external pull-up resistor (typically 10–100 kΩ) is required to generate a logic-high signal for microcontroller reset sequencing.
Can LM53601LQDSXTQ1 operate with input voltage below 3.8 V?
Yes, LM53601LQDSXTQ1 can start and regulate down to 3.55 V input after startup, as confirmed in Section 7.6 of the datasheet. However, full functionality (including 1000 mA load capability and 2.1-MHz operation) requires VIN ≥ 3.8 V for 5-V output. Below 3.8 V, switching frequency folds back and regulation accuracy degrades - verify performance in actual application conditions.
What is the purpose of the DAP (exposed thermal pad) on LM53601LQDSXTQ1?
The DAP on LM53601LQDSXTQ1 serves exclusively as a thermal interface - it must be soldered to a solid PCB ground plane using ≥4 thermal vias to achieve the specified RθJB = 20.9°C/W. It has no electrical function; connecting it to any net other than ground violates the thermal model and risks exceeding 150°C junction temperature under load.
