Product details
Overview
LMQ66410MA3RXBRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous step-down DC/DC converter delivering 1A output current at fixed 3.3V, operating from 3.0V to 36V input with 400kHz fixed switching frequency, integrated VIN bypass and CBOOT capacitors, and optimized for radar ECU and infotainment head unit power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LMQ66410MA3RXBRQ1 datasheet, LMQ66410MA3RXBRQ1 pinout, LMQ66410MA3RXBRQ1 application, or LMQ66410MA3RXBRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 150°C junction rating, 1.5µA no-load quiescent current in Auto mode, ZEN 2 low-EMI architecture with dual-random spread spectrum, and enhanced HotRod QFN-14 (2.6mm × 2.6mm) package with wettable flanks.
Technical Context
The LMQ66410MA3RXBRQ1 implements peak-current-mode control with frequency foldback in Auto mode, enabling seamless PWM-to-PFM transition and maintaining >85% efficiency at 1mA load. Its internal compensation, integrated 22nF VIN bypass capacitors (in series), and 0.1µF CBOOT capacitor eliminate external components required for EMI suppression and bootstrap operation.
ZEN 2 switcher architecture combines enhanced HotRod QFN packaging (bond-wire-free, minimized switch-node ringing), NC pins between high-voltage nodes for FMEA robustness, and DRSS dithering to meet CISPR 25 Class 5 emissions limits without common-mode chokes. The MODE/SYNC pin supports FPWM mode selection or external clock synchronization up to 2.5MHz.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
RXB package: 14-pin enhanced HotRod™ VQFN-FCRLF, 2.6mm × 2.6mm, with exposed thermal pad (GND/DAP) requiring solder connection to PCB ground plane for thermal management and EMI reduction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN | Enable / UVLO input | Logic-controlled startup; precision threshold (1.23V typ) allows direct VIN tie or microcontroller GPIO drive; must not float |
| VIN | Main input supply | Internally connects to two 22nF bypass capacitors in series to PGND; supports 42V transients without external clamping |
| SW | Switch node | Connects to power inductor; low-inductance HotRod layout minimizes ringing and EMI generation |
| BOOT | Bootstrap supply | Internally connected to SW via 0.1µF capacitor - eliminates external boot cap and routing complexity |
| VOUT/FB | Output voltage sense / feedback | Fixed 3.3V configuration - connect directly to output; no external resistors required |
| MODE/SYNC | Mode selection / clock sync | Selects Auto (PFM) or FPWM mode; accepts external 0.2–2.5MHz clock for synchronized multi-rail systems |
| PG | Power-good flag | Open-drain output with 2.5ms delay and 100Ω on-resistance - replaces external reset supervisor in many designs |
| GND/DAP | Power ground / thermal pad | Exposed pad must be soldered to solid GND plane for thermal dissipation (RθJB = 26.2°C/W) and noise control |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated VIN bypass & CBOOT caps | Two 22nF internal series bypass caps + 0.1µF internal boot cap reduce BOM count by 3 passive components and shrink input filter area |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMQ66410MC3RXBRQ1 | Same 1A/3.3V spec but fixed 2.2MHz switching frequency - higher frequency enables smaller inductors but increases switching losses at heavy loads | Better suited for space-constrained infotainment modules where inductor size dominates board area | Select LMQ66410MC3RXBRQ1 when minimizing magnetic component volume is prioritized over light-load efficiency |
| TPS62933QRVCRQ1 | 1.5A, 3.3V fixed, 2.2MHz, lower IQ (700nA), but no integrated bypass/BOOT caps - requires 3 external capacitors | Targeted at ultra-low-power telematics modules needing sub-1µA shutdown, with less stringent EMI requirements | Select TPS62933QRVCRQ1 only if system-level EMI testing passes without integrated capacitors and board space permits added passives |
Compared with LMQ66410MC3RXBRQ1 and TPS62933QRVCRQ1, the LMQ66410MA3RXBRQ1 uniquely balances 400kHz operation for optimal efficiency across 1mA–1A loads, integrated EMI-reduction capacitance, and AEC-Q100-compliant thermal robustness - making it the preferred choice for radar and body-control power stages where reliability and solution size are co-prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the LMQ66410MA3RXBRQ1 can withstand during load dump events?
The LMQ66410MA3RXBRQ1 supports 42V transients on the VIN pin, meeting ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a requirements for 12V automotive systems. This rating is validated per AEC-Q100 stress testing and allows direct connection to battery rails without upstream TVS diodes in most implementations. The absolute maximum VIN rating remains 42V, and operation above this level risks permanent damage to the LMQ66410MA3RXBRQ1.
Does the LMQ66410MA3RXBRQ1 require external input or bootstrap capacitors?
No, the LMQ66410MA3RXBRQ1 integrates two 22nF VIN bypass capacitors in series between VIN and PGND, plus a 0.1µF internal bootstrap capacitor between BOOT and SW. These integrations eliminate the need for external high-frequency input filtering and boot capacitor placement, reducing total solution size and simplifying layout. External bulk capacitance is still recommended at VIN for low-frequency energy storage.
How does the MODE/SYNC pin function on the LMQ66410MA3RXBRQ1?
The MODE/SYNC pin on the LMQ66410MA3RXBRQ1 serves three functions: (1) logic-level input to select Auto (PFM) or FPWM mode, (2) synchronization input accepting 0.2–2.5MHz external clocks for multi-rail phase alignment, and (3) trigger for FPWM-only operation during light loads. It uses a PLL-based locking scheme to avoid glitches and maintains regulation even during frequency foldback transitions.
What is the typical quiescent current of the LMQ66410MA3RXBRQ1 at no load?
The LMQ66410MA3RXBRQ1 draws 1.5µA typical input current at VIN when unloaded and operating in Auto mode at 13.5V input and 3.3V output. This ultra-low IQ enables extended vehicle-off battery life in always-on ADAS modules. Shutdown current drops further to 0.25µA when EN is pulled low, verified across –40°C to +125°C ambient conditions.
Is the LMQ66410MA3RXBRQ1 pin-compatible with other members of the LMQ664x0-Q1 family?
Yes, all LMQ664x0-Q1 variants - including LMQ66410MA3RXBRQ1, LMQ66420MA3RXBRQ1, and LMQ66430MA3RXBRQ1 - share identical RXB (VQFN-FCRLF, 14-pin) packaging, pinout, and footprint. This allows scalable power design: a single PCB layout can support 1A, 2A, or 3A versions by changing only the IC and output inductor, simplifying platform development and inventory management for the LMQ66410MA3RXBRQ1 and its siblings.
