Product details
Overview
LMR14006YDDCT from Texas Instruments is a fixed-frequency, current-mode PWM buck regulator IC designed for step-down DC/DC conversion in space-constrained industrial and battery-powered systems. It operates from 4 V to 40 V input, delivers up to 600 mA output, features 2.1 MHz switching frequency, 0.765 V feedback reference, and achieves 28 µA quiescent current in sleep mode - enabling multi-year operation in low-power sensor nodes.
For engineers reviewing the LMR14006YDDCT datasheet, LMR14006YDDCT pinout, LMR14006YDDCT application, or LMR14006YDDCT equivalent, key selection criteria include its TSOT-6L package footprint, integrated high-side MOSFET with bootstrap gate drive, internal soft-start and compensation, and verified thermal shutdown (170°C) and overcurrent protection - all critical for reliable embedded power rail design.
Technical Context
The LMR14006YDDCT implements constant-frequency peak current-mode control with internal error amplifier, slope compensation, and leading-edge blanking to stabilize loop response and suppress subharmonic oscillation. Its functional block integrates a 600 mΩ high-side MOSFET, boot regulator, 0.765 V precision bandgap reference, and UVLO circuitry on the CB–SW node to sustain high duty cycles.
It supports high-voltage enable (/SHDN) with 1.25 V threshold and 1 µA shutdown current, and uses external resistor divider on FB to set output voltage per VOUT = 0.765 V × (1 + R1/R2). Sleep mode activates automatically when peak inductor current falls below ~80 mA, reducing quiescent draw to 28 µA without external control.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4 V to 40 V - supports wide-input industrial rails and automotive battery transients without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | Up to 600 mA - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and RF modules from single-stage conversion. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.1 MHz (Y version) - enables use of ≤10 µH inductors and compact ceramic output capacitors (e.g., 10 µF). |
| Feedback Reference | 0.765 V ±1.5% - sets precise output voltage via external resistor divider; enables 3.3 V, 5 V, or 12 V outputs. |
| Quiescent Current | 28 µA in sleep mode - extends battery life in always-on IoT endpoints; drops to 1 µA in shutdown. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 170°C trip with 10°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
| Current Limit | 1200 mA typical - provides cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection while allowing brief inrush during startup. |
Pinout & Package
LMR14006YDDCT is housed in a thermally enhanced TSOT-6L package (2.9 mm × 1.6 mm, 0.6 mm height), optimized for high-power-density layouts with minimal board area and thermal vias.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CB | Bootstrap capacitor connection | Supplies gate drive voltage for internal high-side MOSFET; requires 100 nF ceramic cap between CB and SW. |
| GND | Power ground reference | Primary return path for input, output, and internal bias currents; must be low-impedance and tied to power plane. |
| FB | Feedback input | Senses output voltage via resistor divider; regulates output by comparing to 0.765 V internal reference. |
| /SHDN | Enable/disable control | Active-low logic input; float or pull ≥1.25 V to enable; pull ≤1.05 V to enter 1 µA shutdown state. |
| VIN | Main power input | Supplies internal LDO and high-side MOSFET drain; accepts 4–40 V with 45 V absolute max rating. |
| SW | Switch node | Connects to inductor, catch diode anode, and CB capacitor; carries high dv/dt switching waveform. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated boot recharge diode | Eliminates external Schottky diode in bootstrap path - reduces BOM count and layout complexity. |
| Internal soft-start | Prevents inrush current at startup by ramping COMP voltage - avoids output overshoot and input sag. |
| Overvoltage transient protection (OVTP) | Clamps high-side switch when FB exceeds 108% of 0.765 V - limits output overshoot during load dump or unload. |
| High-duty-cycle support | Operates up to 97% duty cycle via CB–SW UVLO refresh - enables low-VOUT/high-VIN applications like 12 V → 3.3 V. |
| Thermal foldback | Reduces output current above 125°C junction before full shutdown - maintains partial regulation during thermal stress. |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Node Power | Automotive Body Control Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMR14006XDDCT | 1.1 MHz switching frequency; higher minimum on-time limits max duty cycle to 96% vs. 97% for Y version. | Better EMI filtering margin at lower frequency; less suitable for ultra-small inductors (<2.2 µH). | Select X version when board-level EMI is prioritized over solution size; same pinout and FB reference. |
| TPS54202DDCR | 2.1 MHz, 4.5–28 V input, 2 A output; includes light-load PFM mode and adjustable soft-start; no integrated boot diode. | Higher current capability and wider VIN range; requires external bootstrap diode and larger output caps. | Choose TPS54202DDCR for designs needing >600 mA or tighter line/load regulation; not drop-in due to different pinout and external components. |
Compared with LMR14006YDDCT, the X version trades switching speed for EMI headroom and slightly lower thermal stress, while TPS54202DDCR offers higher current and flexibility at the cost of increased BOM count and layout effort - making LMR14006YDDCT optimal for compact, cost-sensitive 600 mA applications where integrated boot diode and minimal external parts are decisive.

FAQ
What is the maximum duty cycle supported by the LMR14006YDDCT?
The LMR14006YDDCT supports up to 97% maximum duty cycle, enabled by its CB–SW bootstrap UVLO circuit that refreshes the gate drive capacitor during low-side conduction. This allows operation down to VOUT ≈ 0.765 V even at high input voltages - critical for 12 V-to-3.3 V or 24 V-to-5 V conversions without external assist circuitry. The LMR14006YDDCT maintains regulation across this range without dropout-induced reset or brownout.
Does the LMR14006YDDCT require an external bootstrap diode?
No, the LMR14006YDDCT integrates the bootstrap recharge diode internally, eliminating the need for an external Schottky diode between VIN and CB. This reduces bill-of-materials count, saves PCB area, and improves reliability by removing a common failure point. Users only need a 100 nF ceramic capacitor between CB and SW pins - a key differentiator from competing buck regulators like the TPS54202DDCR, which requires external diode placement.
How does sleep mode function in the LMR14006YDDCT?
Sleep mode in the LMR14006YDDCT activates automatically when peak inductor current falls below ~80 mA and output voltage remains within regulation - reducing quiescent current to 28 µA without external control signals. This feature is implemented via internal current sensing and COMP node monitoring, not average load current. The LMR14006YDDCT exits sleep mode synchronously on the next clock edge when load demand increases, ensuring seamless transition without output droop or delay.
Can the LMR14006YDDCT be used with ceramic output capacitors only?
Yes, the LMR14006YDDCT is fully compatible with ceramic-only output capacitors - its internal compensation and current-mode architecture ensure stability with low-ESR ceramics (e.g., 10 µF X5R/X7R). Typical designs use 4.7–22 µF ceramic caps, avoiding electrolytics or tantalums. The LMR14006YDDCT's OVTP circuit further enhances transient response with low-COUT, preventing overshoot during rapid load removal - a key advantage over voltage-mode controllers requiring bulk capacitance.
What protection features are built into the LMR14006YDDCT?
The LMR14006YDDCT includes cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection (1200 mA typical limit), thermal shutdown (170°C trip with 10°C hysteresis), input undervoltage lockout (4 V rising threshold), and overvoltage transient protection (OVTP) that disables the high-side switch if FB exceeds 108% of 0.765 V. These features operate autonomously without external components - the LMR14006YDDCT recovers automatically after fault clearance, maintaining system uptime in harsh environments.
