Product details
Overview
LMQ66410MA5RXBRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous step-down DC/DC converter delivering 1A output current at fixed 5V output, operating from 3.0V to 36V input with 42V load dump tolerance. It integrates VIN bypass and CBOOT capacitors, uses peak-current-mode control, and features dual-random spread spectrum (DRSS) for CISPR 25 Class 5 EMI compliance in radar ECU power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LMQ66410MA5RXBRQ1 datasheet, LMQ66410MA5RXBRQ1 pinout, LMQ66410MA5RXBRQ1 application, or LMQ66410MA5RXBRQ1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 400kHz fixed switching frequency, 1.5µA no-load quiescent current at 13.5VIN, integrated HotRod QFN-FCRLF package with wettable flanks, and functional safety documentation support for ASIL-B system integration.
Technical Context
The LMQ66410MA5RXBRQ1 implements peak-current-mode control with auto mode enabling frequency foldback below 1mA load, achieving >85% efficiency at 1mA and maintaining regulation down to 0.2V dropout at 1A. Its ZEN 2 switcher architecture integrates two 22-nF internal VIN bypass capacitors and a 0.1-µF internal bootstrap capacitor to minimize external component count and reduce high-frequency EMI.
It supports FPWM and PFM operation via MODE/SYNC pin configuration, includes precision enable with 0.7V wake threshold and 1.23V VOUT turn-on threshold, and features open-drain PG flag with 2.5ms activation delay and built-in deglitching. Thermal shutdown triggers at 168°C with 20°C hysteresis, and junction temperature operates from –40°C to +150°C.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
RXB package: 14-pin enhanced HotRod™ VQFN-FCRLF, 2.6mm × 2.6mm, with exposed thermal pad (GND/DAP) requiring PCB solder connection for thermal and electrical grounding.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN | Enable / UVLO input | Logic-controlled startup with 0.7V wake threshold; connects directly to VIN for simple on/off control; must not float. |
| VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 3.0–36V; internally connects two 22-nF bypass capacitors to PGND; requires external high-quality ceramic capacitor for transient suppression. |
| SW | Switch node | Connects to power inductor; high dv/dt node requiring minimized trace area and separation from sensitive analog signals. |
| BOOT | Bootstrap supply | Internally connected 0.1-µF capacitor to SW; supplies gate drive for high-side MOSFET; must not be shorted or loaded externally. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar automotive buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMQ66410MC5RXBRQ1 | Same 1A/5V fixed-output device but with 2.2MHz switching frequency instead of 400kHz. | Better suited for space-constrained layouts needing smaller inductors; higher frequency increases light-load losses and EMI above AM band. | Select LMQ66410MC5RXBRQ1 only if board area is critical and EMI filtering targets >10MHz; otherwise retain LMQ66410MA5RXBRQ1 for lower noise and higher efficiency at partial load. |
| TPS62903-Q1 | 1.2A, 5V fixed-output buck with 1.8V–6.5V input range; no integrated bypass caps; requires external CBOOT and input capacitance. | Lacks 42V transient rating and cold-crank support; limited to 12V nominal systems without upstream protection. | Choose TPS62903-Q1 only for low-voltage auxiliary rails (e.g., camera modules); LMQ66410MA5RXBRQ1 remains preferred for primary 5V conversion in full-vehicle domains. |
Compared with LMQ66410MC5RXBRQ1, the LMQ66410MA5RXBRQ1 trades higher-frequency flexibility for superior low-noise performance and higher light-load efficiency; versus TPS62903-Q1, it delivers complete automotive transient robustness and reduced BOM count via integrated capacitors - making it the optimal choice for cost-sensitive, EMI-critical ADAS and telematics power stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the LMQ66410MA5RXBRQ1 can withstand during load dump events?
The LMQ66410MA5RXBRQ1 supports 42V absolute maximum input voltage per its Absolute Maximum Ratings table, enabling direct connection to 12V automotive battery rails without external TVS clamping for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a transients. This rating applies across the full –40°C to +150°C junction temperature range and is validated per AEC-Q100 stress testing protocols.
Does the LMQ66410MA5RXBRQ1 require external input or bootstrap capacitors?
No - the LMQ66410MA5RXBRQ1 integrates two 22-nF VIN bypass capacitors in series between VIN and PGND, plus a 0.1-µF internal bootstrap capacitor between BOOT and SW. These eliminate the need for external high-frequency ceramic capacitors typically required for EMI suppression and gate drive stability in conventional buck converters.
How does the MODE/SYNC pin function on the LMQ66410MA5RXBRQ1?
The MODE/SYNC pin on the LMQ66410MA5RXBRQ1 selects between three modes: Auto (PFM at light loads), FPWM (fixed 400kHz), or external clock synchronization. In SYNC mode, the internal oscillator locks to an external clock signal's rising edge, enabling phase-aligned multi-rail operation without introducing beat frequencies or system-level noise coupling.
What is the typical quiescent current of the LMQ66410MA5RXBRQ1 at no load?
The LMQ66410MA5RXBRQ1 draws 1.5µA typical input current at VIN = 13.5V and zero output load in Auto mode, as specified in Section 6.6 System Characteristics. This ultra-low IQ enables compliance with automotive "always-on" power budget requirements for telematics and security modules during extended vehicle parking.
Is the LMQ66410MA5RXBRQ1 pin-compatible with other members of the LMQ664x0-Q1 family?
Yes - all LMQ664x0-Q1 variants including LMQ66410MA5RXBRQ1, LMQ66420MA5RXBRQ1, and LMQ66430MA5RXBRQ1 share identical RXB (VQFN-FCRLF, 14-pin) package dimensions, pinout, and footprint. Designers may scale output current capability via variant selection without PCB layout changes, provided thermal and inductor current ratings are verified per variant.
