Product details
Overview
LM73605QURNPRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous step-down DC/DC converter delivering up to 5 A output current from a 3.5-V to 36-V input, featuring 53 mΩ high-side and 31 mΩ low-side MOSFETs, 60 ns minimum on-time, and adjustable 350 kHz–2.2 MHz switching frequency. It supports pre-biased start-up and operates in automotive body control modules and ADAS power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LM73605QURNPRQ1 datasheet, LM73605QURNPRQ1 pinout, LM73605QURNPRQ1 application, or LM73605QURNPRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its non-wettable-flank WQFN-30 package, auto/FPWM mode selectability, precision enable with UVLO threshold of 1.14 V, and integrated cycle-by-cycle current limiting with 7.3 A typical high-side trip point.
Technical Context
The LM73605QURNPRQ1 employs fixed-frequency peak current-mode control with internal compensation, enabling stable regulation across wide VIN–VOUT ratios. Its architecture integrates both high-side and low-side power MOSFETs, supports external clock synchronization, and implements automated frequency foldback at extreme duty cycles to maintain regulation.
It features dual operating modes: auto mode (diode emulation at light loads for ultra-low quiescent current of 15 µA) and forced PWM mode (constant frequency, negative inductor current capability). The device includes precision enable with hysteresis, programmable soft-start via SS/TRK pin, and tracking functionality for multi-rail sequencing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input voltage range | 3.5 V to 36 V - supports direct battery connection in 12-V and 24-V automotive systems without pre-regulation |
| Output current | Up to 5 A - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and CAN transceivers in distributed ECUs |
| Switching frequency | 350 kHz to 2.2 MHz - selectable via RT resistor or external SYNC signal; enables optimization for EMI or efficiency |
| Quiescent current | 15 µA in active no-load mode - extends battery life in always-on vehicle subsystems |
| HS/LS RDS(on) | 53 mΩ / 31 mΩ - reduces conduction losses and thermal stress at full load in compact layouts |
| tON-MIN/tOFF-MIN | 60 ns / 70 ns - enables high step-down ratios (e.g., 24 V → 3.3 V) at 2.2 MHz without pulse skipping |

Pinout & Package
The LM73605QURNPRQ1 is housed in a 30-pin non-wettable-flank WQFN package (6.00 mm × 4.00 mm × 0.8 mm), optimized for automotive thermal and EMI performance with exposed DAP connected to AGND for low-impedance heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pins 1–5, 22, 26) | Power switch node | Internally connects HS drain and LS source; requires direct routing to inductor and CBOOT with minimal loop area |
| CBOOT (Pin 6) | Bootstrap capacitor terminal | Supplies gate drive for HS FET; must use 470-nF ceramic capacitor tied to SW pin |
| VCC (Pin 7) | Internal bias LDO output | Powers internal control circuitry; requires 2.2-µF bypass capacitor to PGND; not for external loading |
| BIAS (Pin 8) | Optional auxiliary supply input | Improves efficiency when tied to VOUT (3.3–18 V) or external 3.3/5 V rail; must not exceed VIN |
| RT (Pin 9) | Frequency setting input | Resistor-to-ground sets fSW; open-circuit defaults to ~500 kHz; enables precise EMI band placement |
| SS/TRK (Pin 10) | Soft-start and tracking control | 2-µA current source charges external capacitor for adjustable ramp; also accepts external voltage for rail tracking |
| FB (Pin 11) | Feedback reference input | Senses output via resistor divider; 1.006 V typical reference enables accurate VOUT programming (e.g., 3.3 V ±1%) |
| PGOOD (Pin 16) | Open-drain power-good flag | Signals regulation status (high = OK); active below 1.3 V input; includes 1.2% hysteresis for noise immunity |
| SYNC/MODE (Pin 17) | Mode selection and sync input | GND = auto mode; logic high = FPWM; external clock = synchronized FPWM; critical for multi-converter noise control |
| EN (Pin 18) | Enable with precision UVLO | Turns regulator on/off; rising threshold 1.14 V (±50 mV hysteresis); supports adjustable input UVLO via resistor divider |
| AGND (Pin 19) | Analog ground reference | Reference for FB, RT, SS/TRK, and internal circuits; must be star-connected to PGND near DAP |
| PVIN (Pins 20–22) | Main power input | Supplies HS FET and internal LDO; requires low-ESR CIN placed adjacent to PVIN and PGND pins |
| PGND (Pins 23–26) | Power ground return | Source of LS FET; must be solid copper plane tied to DAP and CIN/COUT grounds with multiple thermal vias |
| DAP/EP | Exposed thermal pad | Low-impedance path to AGND; mandatory for thermal performance; requires ≥9 solder mask openings and ≥6 thermal vias |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM73606QURNPRQ1 | Same pinout, 6-A rating, higher RDS(on) (HS: 45 mΩ typ, LS: 27 mΩ typ), identical features and package | Preferred where >5 A peak load or higher thermal margin is required; shares same PCB footprint | Select LM73606QURNPRQ1 if future-proofing for higher current or derating headroom is needed; no layout change required |
| TPS54560QDGQRQ1 | Non-synchronous, 60-V max input, 5-A output, external diode, higher QG and larger solution size | Better suited for cost-sensitive, lower-efficiency designs where 40-V transients dominate over EMI constraints | Choose TPS54560QDGQRQ1 only when input voltage exceeds 36 V or wettable flanks are unnecessary; requires diode and extra layout area |
Compared with LM73606QURNPRQ1, the LM73605QURNPRQ1 offers tighter current-limit matching for 5-A systems and slightly lower light-load IQ; versus TPS54560QDGQRQ1, it delivers superior efficiency, smaller footprint, and integrated EMI reduction-making it optimal for space-constrained, noise-sensitive automotive modules.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LM73605QURNPRQ1?
The LM73605QURNPRQ1 has an absolute maximum PVIN-to-PGND rating of 42 V, but its recommended operating input voltage range is 3.5 V to 36 V. Operation above 36 V may trigger internal protection or reduce reliability; for 42-V transient tolerance, external clamping or TVS devices are advised. The LM73605QURNPRQ1 is validated per ISO 7637-2 for load-dump immunity when properly designed.
Does the LM73605QURNPRQ1 support pre-biased start-up?
Yes, the LM73605QURNPRQ1 supports pre-biased start-up, allowing safe turn-on when the output rail is already energized (e.g., from another regulator or backup source). This prevents reverse current flow and output voltage overshoot. The feature is enabled by default and requires no configuration-verified across –40°C to +125°C ambient per AEC-Q100 requirements.
How does the auto mode vs. forced PWM mode affect efficiency in the LM73605QURNPRQ1?
In auto mode, the LM73605QURNPRQ1 enters diode emulation (PFM) at light loads, reducing switching losses and achieving 15 µA quiescent current-ideal for always-on automotive modules. In forced PWM mode, it maintains constant frequency regardless of load, improving EMI predictability but increasing light-load losses due to negative inductor current and fixed gate drive. Efficiency divergence begins below ~100 mA output.
What is the purpose of the BIAS pin on the LM73605QURNPRQ1?
The BIAS pin on the LM73605QURNPRQ1 provides an optional auxiliary supply path to improve conversion efficiency. When tied to VOUT (for 3.3–18 V outputs) or an external 3.3/5 V rail, it powers the high-side gate driver directly-reducing VCC LDO losses and boosting full-load efficiency by up to 2%. If unused, the BIAS pin must be grounded per datasheet guidelines.
Can the LM73605QURNPRQ1 be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, the LM73605QURNPRQ1 can be synchronized to an external clock via the SYNC/MODE pin, accepting TTL/CMOS-compatible signals from 350 kHz to 2.2 MHz. This enables deterministic EMI reduction in multi-converter systems (e.g., camera + radar modules) and eliminates beat frequencies. External sync overrides the RT resistor setting and forces FPWM operation with tight timing alignment.
