Product details
Overview
LMR14010ADDCT from Texas Instruments is a 4V to 40V input, 1A synchronous step-down DC-DC converter in a TSOT-23-THIN (DDC) package, featuring 0.765V feedback reference, Eco-mode for ultra-low-light-load quiescent current (30 µA), and integrated high-side MOSFET with boot capacitor biasing. It delivers regulated 3.3V/5V/12V outputs in industrial power rails and smart metering systems.
For engineers reviewing the LMR14010ADDCT datasheet, LMR14010ADDCT pinout, LMR14010ADDCT application, or LMR14010ADDCT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.7 MHz fixed-frequency current-mode control, 96% max duty cycle for low-dropout operation, internal soft-start and compensation, and thermal shutdown at 170°C - all validated for automotive-grade transient robustness up to 45V.
Technical Context
The LMR14010ADDCT implements peak current-mode PWM control with a fixed 0.7 MHz switching frequency and internal slope compensation. Its functional block includes an integrated high-side MOSFET (500 mΩ RDS(on)), bootstrap regulator for gate drive, and error amplifier referenced to 0.765 V.
It supports Eco-mode operation below light-load thresholds to reduce switching losses, enabling 30 µA quiescent current at no load and 1 µA shutdown current. Protection features include cycle-by-cycle overcurrent limiting, thermal shutdown (170°C trip), and input UVLO with 4 V rising threshold.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4 V to 40 V - supports wide industrial and automotive supply rails; withstands 45 V transients without damage. |
| Output Current | Up to 1 A - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and interface ICs in compact embedded systems. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.765 V ±2.5% - enables precise output voltage setting (e.g., 3.3 V, 5 V, 12 V) using standard resistor dividers. |
| Switching Frequency | 0.7 MHz (550–850 kHz range) - allows use of small 22 µH inductors and 22 µF ceramic output capacitors. |
| Quiescent Current | 30 µA in Eco-mode, 1 µA in shutdown - extends battery life in always-on or low-duty-cycle applications. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 170°C trip point with 10°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
| Max Duty Cycle | 96% - enables high VIN-to-VOUT ratios (e.g., 18 V → 12 V) while maintaining regulation under dropout conditions. |
Pinout & Package
LMR14010ADDCT uses the TSOT-23-THIN (DDC) package: 6-pin, 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 0.85 mm profile, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CB (Pin 1) | Bootstrap capacitor bias node | Connects external 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor to SW; supplies gate drive voltage for internal high-side MOSFET. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power ground reference | Primary return path for power stage and control circuitry; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise. |
| FB (Pin 3) | Feedback input | Senses output voltage via resistor divider; regulates output to 0.765 V reference - sets VOUT = 0.765 V × (1 + R1/R2). |
| SHDN (Pin 4) | Enable/disable control | High-voltage tolerant (0–40 V); pulled up internally; logic-high (>1.25 V) enables, <1.25 V disables - supports system-level power sequencing. |
| VIN (Pin 5) | Main power input | Supplies internal bias and drives high-side MOSFET drain; accepts 4–40 V with transient protection to 45 V. |
| SW (Pin 6) | Switch node | Connects to inductor, Schottky diode cathode, and CB capacitor; carries high dv/dt switching waveform - requires tight layout and ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Eco-mode operation | Reduces switching losses at light loads, achieving 30 µA IQ and >85% efficiency at 10 mA output - critical for battery-backed smart meters. |
| Integrated high-side MOSFET | 500 mΩ RDS(on) at VGS = 5.8 V - eliminates external switch, reduces BOM count, and improves thermal performance in TSOT-6L footprint. |
| Internal soft-start | Programmed via SS pin (not exposed on DDC package); limits inrush current during startup - avoids input rail collapse in multi-rail systems. |
| Internal compensation | Eliminates need for external Type-II/III compensation network - simplifies design, reduces layout sensitivity, and accelerates time-to-market. |
| Boot UVLO protection | Monitors CB-to-SW voltage; disables high-side FET if <3.2 V - ensures reliable boot capacitor refresh and prevents shoot-through during dropout. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMR14006ADDCT | Same DDC package, 0.6 A output current, identical 4–40 V input and 0.765 V reference - lower current rating due to higher RDS(on). | Not suitable for 1 A continuous loads; acceptable for sub-600 mA applications like sensor nodes or auxiliary rails. | Select when load current ≤ 600 mA and board space or cost constraints favor reuse of same footprint. |
| TPS54202DDCR | 2 A output, 4.5–28 V input, 500 kHz switching, 0.8 V reference - different pinout (SOT-23-6), no Eco-mode, higher IQ (47 µA). | Better for higher-current, lower-input-voltage applications; lacks 40 V rating and transient robustness for industrial use. | Choose when 2 A capability is required and input stays within 28 V; verify PCB layout compatibility due to non-pin-compatible pinout. |
Compared with LMR14010ADDCT, LMR14006ADDCT offers identical form factor but reduced current capacity, while TPS54202DDCR provides higher output current at the expense of input voltage range, Eco-mode efficiency, and pin compatibility - making LMR14010ADDCT optimal for 1 A, wide-input, low-quiescent-power designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the LMR14010ADDCT can safely handle?
The LMR14010ADDCT has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 45 V for transient conditions and a recommended operating range of 4 V to 40 V. Sustained operation above 40 V may trigger internal protection or cause reliability degradation. The device integrates transient protection circuitry that clamps input spikes up to 45 V without latch-up or damage, making it suitable for automotive load-dump and industrial surge environments.
Does the LMR14010ADDCT require an external bootstrap capacitor?
Yes, the LMR14010ADDCT requires a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor (X7R/X5R, ≥10 V rating) connected between the CB and SW pins. This capacitor supplies gate drive voltage to the internal high-side MOSFET. TI specifies this as mandatory for proper operation - omission causes boot voltage collapse, leading to erratic switching or complete failure to regulate. The capacitor must be placed as close as possible to the CB and SW pins to minimize parasitic inductance.
What is the feedback reference voltage of the LMR14010ADDCT, and how does it affect output setting?
The LMR14010ADDCT has a nominal feedback reference voltage of 0.765 V (±2.5% over temperature and line), used to set output voltage via an external resistor divider on the FB pin. The output is calculated as VOUT = 0.765 V × (1 + R1/R2). This precise, low-reference value enables accurate 3.3 V, 5 V, or 12 V outputs using standard 1% resistors - for example, R2 = 10 kΩ and R1 = 54.9 kΩ yields 5.0 V with <0.5% error.
How does Eco-mode improve efficiency in the LMR14010ADDCT?
Eco-mode in the LMR14010ADDCT reduces switching frequency and gate drive activity at light loads, lowering quiescent current to 30 µA and sustaining >85% efficiency down to 10 mA output. It operates by sensing peak inductor current and entering burst-mode-like operation only when output remains in regulation - unlike fixed-frequency PWM, Eco-mode eliminates unnecessary switching cycles, directly extending battery runtime in intermittently active systems such as smart meters and IoT edge nodes.
Is the LMR14010ADDCT pin-compatible with other TI buck regulators in the DDC package?
The LMR14010ADDCT shares the same TSOT-23-THIN (DDC) 6-pin package and pinout with the LMR14006ADDCT and LMR14020ADDCT, enabling drop-in replacement within the same current-class family. However, it is not pin-compatible with non-LMR140x0A devices like the TPS54202DDCR, which uses identical SOT-23-6 mechanical dimensions but assigns different functions to each pin - requiring PCB redesign for substitution.
