Product details
Overview
LM64440BPPQRYFRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous buck DC/DC converter delivering 4A output at fixed 3.3V, operating from 3V to 36V input with 42V load-dump tolerance, 2.1MHz switching frequency, and integrated high- and low-side MOSFETs for infotainment power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LM64440BPPQRYFRQ1 datasheet, LM64440BPPQRYFRQ1 pinout, LM64440BPPQRYFRQ1 application, or LM64440BPPQRYFRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its pin-selectable light-load mode (PFM/AUTO/FPWM), MINT 1 EMI mitigation architecture, wettable-flank 22-pin Enhanced HotRod™ QFN package, and functional safety documentation support.
Technical Context
This device implements a current-mode control architecture with soft-recovery-from-dropout to prevent output overshoot, and integrates dual input paths (VIN1/VIN2) with parallel routing to minimize parasitic inductance. Its MODE/SYNC pin supports three operational modes-AUTO (frequency foldback), FPWM (fixed-frequency PWM), or external clock synchronization-and enables pin-configurable spread-spectrum modulation.
The thermal design leverages an exposed thermal pad (GND) with low RθJB (8.8°C/W) and optimized pin spacing between high-voltage (SW, VIN, CBOOT) and low-voltage pins (PGND, FB, PGOOD) to improve FMEA compliance in short-to-adjacent-pin failure scenarios. The BIAS pin allows external biasing to enhance efficiency when VOUT exceeds 5V.
Key Specifications

| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±1% accuracy over temperature and line/load conditions |
| Switching Frequency | 2.1MHz nominal (adjustable 200kHz–2.2MHz via SYNC), enabling compact magnetics |
| Quiescent Current | 7µA typical in AUTO mode at no load, supporting always-on automotive systems |
| Junction Temperature | Rated for –40°C to +150°C operation, with thermal shutdown at 168°C (±10°C hysteresis) |

Pinout & Package
LM64440BPPQRYFRQ1 uses a 22-pin Enhanced HotRod™ VQFN-FCRLF (RYF) package with wettable flanks and exposed thermal pad (GND). Pin spacing is optimized for automotive FMEA compliance, including NC pins isolating high-voltage nodes (VIN, SW, CBOOT) from sensitive signals (FB, PGOOD).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PGOOD | Open-drain status indicator | Signals regulation status; pulled high externally; asserts low on fault or EN deactivation |
| EN | Enable/UVLO control input | Active-high enable with precision threshold (1.263V) and hysteresis (28%) for robust start-up |
| MODE/SYNC | Mode selection & clock sync | Configures PFM/AUTO/FPWM operation and enables external clock synchronization or spread-spectrum modulation |
| VIN1, VIN2 | Dual input power rails | Parallel high-current inputs reduce loop inductance; require separate high-quality bypass capacitors to PGND1/PGND2 |
| SW1–SW4 | Switch node terminals | Four dedicated switch-node connections distribute current and reduce localized heating and EMI |
| PGND1, PGND2 | Power ground returns | Separated ground paths for high-side and low-side MOSFETs; must be low-impedance and tied together at single point |
| FB | Feedback reference input | Connects directly to output for fixed 3.3V version; internal 1% accurate reference eliminates external resistor divider |
| BIAS | Efficiency-boosting LDO input | Accepts VOUT to power internal circuitry, reducing VIN current draw and improving light-load efficiency |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MINT 1 EMI Mitigation | Combines spread-spectrum modulation, symmetrical pinout, and Enhanced HotRod™ package to suppress switch-node ringing and meet CISPR 25 Class 5 |
| Pin-Selectable Light-Load Mode | Three distinct modes (AUTO, FPWM, SYNC) configured via MODE/SYNC resistor network-no firmware or external controller required |
| FMEA-Optimized Pinout | NC pins placed between VIN/SW/CBOOT and adjacent low-voltage pins to maintain regulated output during pin-to-pin short faults |
| Soft Recovery from Dropout | Prevents output voltage overshoot during input recovery by controlling duty cycle ramp-up without requiring external compensation |
| Wettable Flank Packaging | Enables 100% automated visual inspection of solder joints on all 22 perimeter pins, reducing post-assembly defect escape |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the LM64440BPPQRYFRQ1 can withstand during automotive load-dump events?
The LM64440BPPQRYFRQ1 supports up to 42V input voltage for transient load-dump conditions while maintaining safe operation, per AEC-Q100 stress testing requirements. This rating is validated across the full –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature range and applies to both VIN1 and VIN2 pins simultaneously. The device remains functional without latch-up or parametric shift during these events, provided proper input capacitance and layout guidelines are followed.
Does the LM64440BPPQRYFRQ1 require an external feedback resistor divider for its 3.3V output?
No, the LM64440BPPQRYFRQ1 does not require an external feedback resistor divider because it is a factory-trimmed fixed-output variant. The internal reference and feedback network are laser-trimmed to deliver 3.3V ±1% accuracy across temperature, line, and load conditions. The FB pin is internally connected and must be left unconnected externally-adding external resistors would disrupt regulation and void the specified accuracy.
How does the BIAS pin improve efficiency in the LM64440BPPQRYFRQ1?
The BIAS pin in the LM64440BPPQRYFRQ1 accepts an external voltage (typically VOUT or a higher rail like 5V) to power the internal LDO and control circuitry, reducing current drawn from VIN. When biased with 5V, the device achieves up to 30% lower input current at 4A load versus VIN-only operation, directly improving full-load efficiency and reducing thermal dissipation in the input path.
Can the LM64440BPPQRYFRQ1 be synchronized to an external clock, and what is the valid frequency range?
Yes, the LM64440BPPQRYFRQ1 supports external clock synchronization via the MODE/SYNC pin, accepting TTL- or CMOS-compatible signals with valid high/low durations ≥8µs. The synchronization frequency range is 200kHz to 2.2MHz, allowing alignment with system clocks or avoidance of sensitive RF bands. Synchronization overrides internal oscillator operation and maintains tight duty-cycle control without phase jitter accumulation.
What thermal performance metrics are specified for the LM64440BPPQRYFRQ1 in its RYF package?
The LM64440BPPQRYFRQ1 in the 22-pin Enhanced HotRod™ RYF package has a measured junction-to-board thermal resistance (RθJB) of 8.8°C/W on a standard 4-layer JEDEC board, and a junction-to-case (bottom) resistance of 8.6°C/W. Its evaluation module achieves RθJA of 23.5°C/W-significantly better than the simulated 38.5°C/W-demonstrating effective heat transfer through the exposed thermal pad to the PCB ground plane.
