Product details
Overview
LM63610DQDRRRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous step-down DC/DC converter delivering up to 1A output current across 3.5V–36V input range, featuring 50ns minimum on-time, 23µA quiescent current, and pin-selectable 3.3V/5V/adjustable output for infotainment power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LM63610DQDRRRQ1 datasheet, LM63610DQDRRRQ1 pinout, LM63610DQDRRRQ1 application, or LM63610DQDRRRQ1 equivalent, key selection considerations include automotive-grade thermal performance (–40°C to +150°C junction), spread-spectrum EMI reduction compliant with CISPR 25, and FPWM/AUTO/sync mode flexibility for ADAS and body electronics designs.
Technical Context
This synchronous buck regulator uses peak-current-mode control with automatic PFM/PWM transition, enabling high light-load efficiency while maintaining tight regulation. Its internal 5V LDO powers control circuitry, and precision enable thresholds (VEN-H = 1.5V ±75mV) support reliable system sequencing in harsh automotive environments.
The device integrates high-side (93mΩ) and low-side (61mΩ) MOSFETs, supports external synchronization from 250kHz to 2200kHz, and implements hiccup-mode short-circuit protection triggered after 128 consecutive current-limit events with 104ms retry delay.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5V to 36V - supports cold-crank (4.5V) and load-dump (36V) transients in 12V/24V automotive systems |
| Output Current | 1A continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and display logic in cluster and ADAS ECUs |
| Quiescent Current | 23µA - enables always-on functionality without excessive battery drain during vehicle sleep mode |
| Switching Frequency | Adjustable 250kHz–2200kHz - allows EMI optimization and inductor size trade-offs; default 400kHz/2.1MHz via RT pin |
| Feedback Reference | 1.0V (adjustable mode) - enables precise output setting from 1V to 20V using external resistor divider |
| Thermal Shutdown | 163°C typical - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking in sealed enclosures |
| Minimum On-Time | 50ns - supports high VIN-to-VOUT conversion ratios (e.g., 24V→3.3V) without pulse-skipping instability |
Pinout & Package
LM63610DQDRRRQ1 is packaged in a 12-pin WSON (DRR) package measuring 3.00mm × 3.00mm with exposed thermal pad (DAP) for enhanced heat dissipation in space-constrained automotive modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW | Switch node | Connects to power inductor; carries high di/dt switching current - requires short, wide PCB trace and adjacent PGND pour |
| CBOOT | Bootstrap supply | Supplies gate drive for high-side MOSFET; requires 220nF ceramic capacitor between CBOOT and SW |
| VCC | Internal LDO output | 5V regulated supply for internal logic; must be decoupled with 1µF capacitor to PGND - not for external loads |
| RT | Frequency programming | Selects switching frequency: tie to VCC (400kHz), AGND (2.1MHz), or resistor to AGND (250–2200kHz) |
| VSEL | Output voltage select | Configures fixed 3.3V (AGND), 5V (VCC), or adjustable (10kΩ to AGND); setting latched at power-up |
| SYNC/MODE | Mode control | FPWM (VCC), AUTO (AGND), or external sync clock - enables noise-sensitive timing coordination |
| RESET | Power-good flag | Open-drain output indicating valid VOUT; active-low with 112% rising threshold and 93% falling threshold |
| FB | Feedback input | Regulates to 1.0V (ADJ), 3.3V, or 5V; connects to output or external divider - never float or ground |
| EN | Enable input | Precision enable with 1.5V ±75mV turn-on threshold; supports external UVLO via resistor divider |
| VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 3.5–36V; requires local high-quality bypass capacitors directly to PGND |
| PGND | Power ground | High-current return path for MOSFETs and inductor; connect to system ground with short, wide traces |
| DAP | Thermal pad | Exposed copper pad soldered to PCB ground plane - essential for thermal performance and EMI reduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pseudo-random spread spectrum | ±5% frequency dither at 0.98Hz - reduces peak radiated emissions to meet CISPR 25 Class 5 requirements |
| Automatic frequency foldback | Reduces switching frequency under light load - maintains >85% efficiency at 1mA output while minimizing audible noise |
| Integrated compensation | Eliminates external compensation network - reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity for faster design validation |
| Hiccup short-circuit protection | Enters 104ms recovery delay after 128 overcurrent cycles - prevents thermal runaway during sustained fault conditions |
| Thermally enhanced WSON | 47.4°C/W junction-to-ambient (RθJA) - enables 1A operation in 70°C ambient without forced airflow |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for LM63610DQDRRRQ1 in WSON package?
The absolute maximum input voltage for LM63610DQDRRRQ1 in the DRR (WSON) package is 42V, as specified in Section 6.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings. This rating applies to transient conditions lasting less than 10ns; for continuous operation, the recommended maximum is 36V. Exceeding 42V risks permanent damage to the internal high-side MOSFET and bootstrap circuitry, even if duration is brief.
Does LM63610DQDRRRQ1 support external synchronization, and what is its valid frequency range?
Yes, LM63610DQDRRRQ1 supports external synchronization via the SYNC/MODE pin, with a valid input frequency range of 250kHz to 2200kHz. The device locks to the external clock within this band and maintains phase alignment. Synchronization is only active in FPWM mode; in AUTO mode, the device reverts to internal oscillator control when sync signal is lost.
How does the RESET pin on LM63610DQDRRRQ1 behave during startup and fault conditions?
The RESET pin on LM63610DQDRRRQ1 is an open-drain output that pulls low until FB voltage reaches 112% of target (rising threshold), then releases high after a 3ms deglitch delay. It asserts low again if FB falls below 93% (falling threshold). During EN = low or thermal shutdown, RESET is actively pulled low - providing unambiguous power-good status for microcontroller reset sequencing.
Can LM63610DQDRRRQ1 operate in forced PWM mode across its entire load range, and how is it enabled?
Yes, LM63610DQDRRRQ1 can operate in forced PWM (FPWM) mode from zero load to full 1A by tying the SYNC/MODE pin to VCC. In FPWM mode, the device maintains constant switching frequency regardless of load, eliminating frequency modulation artifacts and ensuring predictable EMI behavior - critical for noise-sensitive applications like radar and camera interfaces.
What is the purpose of the DAP thermal pad on the LM63610DQDRRRQ1 WSON package, and how must it be implemented?
The DAP (Die Attach Pad) on LM63610DQDRRRQ1 is an exposed copper thermal pad electrically connected to PGND and serving as primary heat dissipation path. It must be soldered to a solid PCB ground plane with ≥6 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter, spaced ≤1mm apart) connecting to inner ground layers. Omitting DAP connection degrades RθJA by >30% and risks thermal shutdown above 600mA at 85°C ambient.
