Product details
Overview
LM63625CAQDRRRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous step-down DC/DC converter delivering up to 2.5A output current, operating from 3.5V to 36V input, with fixed 2.1MHz switching frequency and adjustable output voltage (1V–20V) via external feedback resistors. It integrates high-side and low-side MOSFETs (RDS(on) = 93mΩ / 61mΩ), supports FPWM/AUTO/sync modes, and features RESET flag, precision enable, and thermal shutdown - deployed in ADAS power rails and infotainment domain controllers.
For engineers reviewing the LM63625CAQDRRRQ1 datasheet, LM63625CAQDRRRQ1 pinout, LM63625CAQDRRRQ1 application, or LM63625CAQDRRRQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated WSON-12 pin functions, confirmed automotive-grade thermal and EMI performance, and real-world selection guidance against comparable buck regulators for body electronics and cluster systems.
Technical Context
The LM63625CAQDRRRQ1 implements peak-current-mode control with automatic PFM/PWM mode transition, enabling high light-load efficiency while maintaining tight regulation. Its internal 5V LDO (VCC) powers control circuitry, and the 1V FB reference enables precise output setting via external resistor dividers - no VSEL pin present in the 'C' variant.
It features a 50ns minimum on-time, pseudo-random spread spectrum (±5% modulation depth, 0.98Hz pattern rate) for CISPR 25 compliance, and hiccup-mode short-circuit protection triggered after 128 consecutive current-limit events with 70–140ms retry delay. Thermal shutdown activates at 155–175°C junction temperature with 150°C recovery threshold.
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 | 2.5A continuous - sufficient for powering SoCs, image sensors, or multi-rail PMICs in ADAS cameras. |
| Switching Frequency | Fixed 2.1MHz - enables compact 1µH inductors and reduces EMI fundamental below AM band. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.000V ±15mV (–40°C to +150°C) - ensures ±1.5% output accuracy across full automotive temperature range. |
| Quiescent Current | 23µA typical - extends battery runtime during vehicle sleep modes without compromising wake-up response. |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 47.4°C/W (WSON-12) - requires ≥200mm² exposed DAP copper area for 125°C ambient operation at full load. |
| EMI Performance | CISPR 25 Class 5 compliant with spread spectrum enabled - eliminates need for external EMI filters in infotainment modules. |
Pinout & Package
LM63625CAQDRRRQ1 uses the DRR (WSON-12) thermally enhanced package: 3mm × 3mm body, 0.5mm pitch, PowerPAD™ bottom thermal pad soldered to PCB ground plane for optimal heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 | SW | Switch node - connects directly to power inductor; high dv/dt node requiring minimized loop area. |
| 3 | PGND/DAP | Power ground and thermal pad - must be soldered to ≥200mm² internal/external ground plane for thermal integrity. |
| 4 | EN | Enable input - precision threshold (1.425–1.575V) allows direct connection to microcontroller GPIO or system power rail. |
| 5 | CBOOT | Bootstrap supply - requires 220nF X7R capacitor placed within 1mm of SW pin for high-side gate drive stability. |
| 6 | AGND | Analog ground - separate reference for FB, RT, SYNC/MODE; must tie to PGND at single point near IC. |
| 7 | VCC | Internal 5V LDO output - powers control logic; requires 1µF ceramic capacitor to PGND, not for external loading. |
| 8 | FB | Feedback input - regulates output to 1.000V reference; connects to external resistor divider for adjustable VOUT. |
| 9 | VIN | Main input supply - requires local 220nF bypass capacitor placed ≤1mm from VIN and PGND pins per layout guidelines. |
| 10 | SYNC/MODE | Mode selection - tied to AGND for AUTO mode (PFM/PWM auto-switching) or driven externally for synchronization. |
| 11 | RESET | Open-drain power-good flag - asserts low when VOUT deviates >7% from target; requires external pullup resistor. |
| 12 | N/C | No internal connection - left unconnected; no routing or stitching required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for –40°C to +125°C ambient operation - meets automotive reliability requirements without derating. |
| Integrated high- and low-side MOSFETs | RDS(on) = 93mΩ / 61mΩ - eliminates external FETs and drivers, reducing BOM count and layout complexity. |
| Pseudo-random spread spectrum | ±5% frequency dither at 0.98Hz - lowers peak EMI by >10dB without affecting regulation or transient response. |
| Reset flag with hysteresis | VRESET-HYS = 1.1–2.5% of FB voltage - provides clean, glitch-free power sequencing for downstream processors. |
| Short 50ns minimum on-time | Enables 12V-to-1V conversion at 2.1MHz - supports high step-down ratios in space-constrained ADAS camera modules. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM63625DQDRRRQ1 | Same WSON-12 package and 2.5A rating, but includes VSEL pin for 3.3V/5V fixed outputs and RT pin for frequency selection. | Preferred where fixed outputs or programmable frequency simplify design; lacks spread spectrum in base 'D' variant. | Select LM63625DQDRRRQ1 if fixed 5V/3.3V output eliminates need for FB divider; LM63625CAQDRRRQ1 suits designs requiring precise adjustable VOUT and EMI reduction. |
| TPS543B20RTWR | 3.5V–18V input, 3A output, 400kHz–2.2MHz adjustable frequency, integrated FETs, but not AEC-Q100 qualified. | Targeted at industrial/commercial applications; lacks automotive temp grade, RESET flag, and spread spectrum. | Choose TPS543B20RTWR only for non-automotive designs needing higher current; LM63625CAQDRRRQ1 is mandatory for production automotive ECUs. |
Compared with LM63625DQDRRRQ1, LM63625CAQDRRRQ1 trades VSEL/RT flexibility for guaranteed spread spectrum and simplified feedback network; versus TPS543B20RTWR, it adds AEC-Q100 qualification, extended input range, and automotive-specific protections - essential for functional safety-compliant systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM63625CAQDRRRQ1?
The LM63625CAQDRRRQ1 has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 42V for the WSON package, with recommended operating range from 3.5V to 36V. This 36V upper limit accommodates automotive load-dump transients per ISO 7637-2, ensuring reliable operation in 24V truck and off-road vehicle systems without external clamping circuits. The device remains functional and protected within this range under all specified conditions.
Does LM63625CAQDRRRQ1 support adjustable output voltage, and how is it configured?
Yes, LM63625CAQDRRRQ1 supports fully adjustable output voltage from 1V to 20V using an external resistor divider connected to the FB pin. Unlike the 'D' variant, the 'C' version omits the VSEL pin and relies solely on the 1.000V ±15mV internal reference. Designers select R1 and R2 such that VOUT = 1.000V × (1 + R1/R2), with FB input leakage <100nA ensuring minimal divider error across temperature.
What thermal management is required for LM63625CAQDRRRQ1 at full 2.5A load?
At 2.5A output and 13.5V input, LM63625CAQDRRRQ1 dissipates ~0.5W. With RθJA = 47.4°C/W, a 125°C ambient requires ≤75°C rise - achievable using the exposed DAP pad soldered to ≥200mm² internal ground plane and two outer-layer thermal vias (≥6×0.3mm) per mm². TI's layout guidelines mandate direct DAP-to-ground connection; insufficient copper area causes premature thermal shutdown above 85°C ambient.
How does the spread spectrum feature improve EMI performance in LM63625CAQDRRRQ1?
The LM63625CAQDRRRQ1 implements pseudo-random spread spectrum with ±5% frequency modulation at 0.98Hz, spreading energy across a 210kHz bandwidth centered at 2.1MHz. This reduces peak radiated emissions by 10–15dB compared to fixed-frequency operation, enabling CISPR 25 Class 5 compliance without ferrite beads or shielded inductors - critical for passing EMI tests in compact infotainment head-units where board space is constrained.
Is LM63625CAQDRRRQ1 pin-compatible with other devices in the LM636x5-Q1 family?
No, LM63625CAQDRRRQ1 is not pin-compatible with LM63625DQDRRRQ1 or LM63615-Q1 variants. While all use the WSON-12 (DRR) package, the 'C' variant repurposes pins 5 (RT) and 6 (VSEL) as NC, removing frequency and voltage selection functionality. Pin mapping differs: LM63625CAQDRRRQ1 uses pins 5/6 for NC, whereas the 'D' variant assigns them to RT and VSEL - requiring PCB redesign for substitution.
