Product details
Overview
LM64460APPQRYFRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous buck DC/DC converter delivering 6A output current, supporting 3V–36V input with 42V load-dump tolerance, fixed 2.1MHz switching frequency, and pin-selectable spread spectrum and light-load mode (FPWM or AUTO). It operates in infotainment head units and ADAS power rails where EMI-sensitive timing and thermal robustness are critical.
For engineers reviewing the LM64460APPQRYFRQ1 datasheet, LM64460APPQRYFRQ1 pinout, LM64460APPQRYFRQ1 application, or LM64460APPQRYFRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 2.1MHz operation (no RT resistor needed), wettable-flank Enhanced HotRod QFN-22 package for automotive solder-joint inspection, MINT 1 noise mitigation architecture, and functional safety documentation support for ISO 26262 ASIL-B system integration.
Technical Context
The LM64460APPQRYFRQ1 implements a dual-input, four-switch synchronous buck topology with integrated high-side (41mΩ typ) and low-side (21mΩ typ) MOSFETs, enabling 6A continuous output at up to 150°C junction temperature. Its fixed 2.1MHz switching frequency eliminates external RT component dependency while maintaining high efficiency (92.5% at 13.5VIN/5VOUT/6A) and ultra-low no-load quiescent current (7µA typical).
MINT 1 architecture integrates spread-spectrum modulation (±2% center deviation), symmetrical pin layout for optimal input capacitor placement, and parallel input paths to minimize parasitic inductance - all validated for automotive CISPR 25 Class 5 EMI compliance. Pin-selectable FPWM/AUTO mode and spread-spectrum enable/disable provide deterministic control over light-load behavior and spectral content without requiring external logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3V to 36V with 42V transient tolerance - supports full automotive battery range including cold-crank and load-dump events. |
| Output Current | 6A continuous - sufficient for powering SoC cores, GPU subsystems, or multi-rail ADAS sensor hubs without external current sharing. |
| Switching Frequency | Fixed 2.1MHz - enables compact magnetics, avoids AM/FM radio bands, and eliminates RT resistor calibration and layout sensitivity. |
| Feedback Accuracy | ±1% over –40°C to +125°C ambient - ensures stable voltage regulation across engine bay thermal extremes without trimming. |
| Quiescent Current | 7µA typical at no load - extends battery runtime in always-on vehicle modules such as telematics and domain controllers. |
| Thermal Limit | 150°C max junction temperature - rated for under-hood deployment with standard PCB thermal vias and 2-layer heatsinking. |
| EMI Architecture | MINT 1 with spread spectrum and Enhanced HotRod QFN - reduces peak radiated emissions by >10dB compared to non-MINT buck converters at same frequency. |
Pinout & Package
LM64460APPQRYFRQ1 uses the RYF (22-pin Enhanced HotRod™ QFN) package with wettable flanks for automated optical inspection and optimized thermal performance (RθJB = 8.8°C/W). The exposed thermal pad must be connected to inner-layer ground planes via ≥9 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter, 0.8mm pitch).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN/SYNC | Enable & synchronization input | Active-high enable with 1.263V threshold; accepts external clock edges for deterministic FPWM sync - no external pull-up required due to internal bias. |
| PGOOD | Open-drain power-good indicator | Asserts high when output is within ±3% of target; sinks ≤40Ω at 1mA - compatible with 3.3V/5V microcontroller GPIOs without level-shifting. |
| FB | Feedback voltage sense input | 1V reference with ±1% accuracy; connects to resistor divider for adjustable output or directly to VOUT for fixed 3.3V/5V variants. |
| VIN1 / VIN2 | Dual input power pins | Parallel high-current inputs reduce trace inductance; require independent 10µF ceramic bypass capacitors each to adjacent PGND pins. |
| SW1–SW4 | Switch node terminals | Four dedicated switch-node pads minimize loop area and ringing - SW1/SW2 connect to inductor; SW3/SW4 route bootstrap charge path. |
| PGND1 / PGND2 | Power ground return paths | Separated ground returns isolate high-di/dt currents; must be tied together only at single-point star ground near input capacitors. |
| BIAS | Efficiency-boosting LDO input | Connects to regulated output to reduce internal LDO losses - improves full-load efficiency by up to 1.2% when VOUT ≥ 3.3V. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM63460AFSQRYFRQ1 | Adjustable-frequency (200kHz–2.2MHz) version with fixed FPWM light-load mode; requires RT resistor. | Better suited for designs needing frequency optimization for efficiency vs. size trade-offs or custom EMI notch placement. | Select when variable switching frequency is required; not drop-in due to RT pin usage and different light-load behavior. |
| LM64460BPPQRYFRQ1 | Pin-compatible 3.3V fixed-output variant; identical MINT 1 features, package, and 2.1MHz frequency. | Eliminates external feedback resistors - ideal for cost-sensitive, high-volume infotainment modules with standardized 3.3V rails. | Drop-in replacement only if 3.3V output is acceptable; differs in FB network configuration and no-adjustment capability. |
Compared with LM63460AFSQRYFRQ1, LM64460APPQRYFRQ1 offers deterministic 2.1MHz operation and simpler layout but less frequency flexibility; versus LM64460BPPQRYFRQ1, it provides output voltage adjustability at the cost of two external resistors - critical for multi-voltage systems requiring 5V, 3.3V, or custom outputs.

FAQ
What is the switching frequency of LM64460APPQRYFRQ1 and is it adjustable?
The LM64460APPQRYFRQ1 operates at a fixed 2.1MHz switching frequency and does not support adjustment via RT resistor or SYNC signal. This eliminates frequency drift due to component tolerance or temperature variation, simplifies EMI filtering design, and ensures consistent performance across production lots. Unlike adjustable variants such as LM63460-Q1, the LM64460APPQRYFRQ1's fixed frequency is factory-set and cannot be modified in-circuit.
Does LM64460APPQRYFRQ1 support spread-spectrum modulation and how is it enabled?
Yes, LM64460APPQRYFRQ1 supports spread-spectrum modulation as part of its MINT 1 architecture. Spread spectrum is enabled or disabled using a dedicated pin (SS_EN) - tying it high activates ±2% frequency dithering to reduce peak EMI emissions, while grounding disables it for deterministic timing in noise-sensitive applications. This pin-selectable feature requires no external clock or configuration register access.
What is the maximum output current and thermal limit for LM64460APPQRYFRQ1?
The LM64460APPQRYFRQ1 delivers up to 6A continuous output current with a maximum junction temperature of 150°C. Its thermal performance is validated with RθJB = 8.8°C/W on standard 4-layer PCBs, enabling reliable operation in under-hood environments when paired with proper thermal vias and copper pour. Thermal shutdown triggers at 168°C (typical) with 10°C hysteresis to prevent cycling during transient overload conditions.
How does LM64460APPQRYFRQ1 handle light-load efficiency and what modes are available?
The LM64460APPQRYFRQ1 supports two pin-selectable light-load modes: FPWM (forced pulse-width modulation) and AUTO (frequency foldback). In AUTO mode, it achieves 7µA typical no-load input current; in FPWM mode, it maintains constant 2.1MHz switching for predictable EMI behavior. Selection is made externally via jumper or strap - no software or register writes are required, ensuring deterministic startup and fault recovery.
Is LM64460APPQRYFRQ1 qualified for automotive applications and what grade does it meet?
Yes, LM64460APPQRYFRQ1 is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications and meets Grade 1 specifications, supporting ambient operating temperatures from –40°C to +125°C. It includes functional safety documentation to aid ISO 26262 ASIL-B system-level development and has undergone rigorous stress testing for humidity, vibration, and thermal cycling per automotive reliability standards.
