Product details
Overview
LMR14030SSQDDAQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive-grade synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with integrated 90 mΩ high-side MOSFET, 4 V to 40 V input range, 3.5 A continuous output current, 40 µA quiescent current in sleep mode, and 75 ns minimum on-time - designed for battery regulation in engine control units and ADAS power domains.
For engineers reviewing the LMR14030SSQDDAQ1 datasheet, LMR14030SSQDDAQ1 pinout, LMR14030SSQDDAQ1 application, or LMR14030SSQDDAQ1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its spread-spectrum EMI reduction capability, precision enable input for sequencing, internal loop compensation, thermal shutdown at 170°C, and compatibility with 200 kHz–2.5 MHz frequency programming or external synchronization.
Technical Context
The LMR14030SSQDDAQ1 implements fixed-frequency peak current mode control with slope compensation to prevent sub-harmonic oscillation above 50% duty cycle. It operates in Sleep-mode at light load to maintain 40 µA IQ, and transitions to full switching when output deviation exceeds regulation window.
Its bootstrap circuit enables up to ~97% effective duty cycle during dropout, refreshed via SW node conduction; the RT/SYNC pin supports either resistor-programmed frequency (200 kHz–2.5 MHz) or PLL-based synchronization (250 kHz–2.3 MHz), with spread-spectrum dithering ±6% for EMI suppression.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4 V to 40 V - supports direct connection to automotive battery rails including cold-crank (4.5 V) and load-dump (40 V) transients. |
| Output Current | 3.5 A continuous - delivers regulated power to microcontrollers, sensors, and communication ICs without external heatsinking in typical PCB layouts. |
| Quiescent Current | 40 µA in sleep mode - extends battery life in always-on vehicle modules such as telematics and body controllers. |
| Switching Frequency | 200 kHz to 2.5 MHz - adjustable via RT resistor or external clock; higher frequencies reduce inductor size, lower frequencies improve light-load efficiency. |
| High-Side RDS(on) | 90 mΩ typical - minimizes conduction loss and thermal rise at full load, enabling compact 4.9 mm × 6 mm HSOIC package operation. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.750 V ±1.5% over –40°C to +125°C - enables precise output voltage setting (e.g., 3.3 V or 5 V) using standard 1% resistors with minimal temperature drift. |
| Min. On-Time | 75 ns - supports high VIN-to-VOUT conversion ratios (e.g., 24 V → 3.3 V at 2.2 MHz) without pulse-skipping instability. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 170°C with 12°C hysteresis - protects die under sustained overload or poor airflow; resumes operation only after junction cools below 158°C. |
Pinout & Package
LMR14030SSQDDAQ1 uses an 8-pin HSOIC (DDA) package with exposed PowerPAD™ thermal pad (4.9 mm × 6 mm), optimized for automotive board space and thermal dissipation. The package features GND-connected thermal pad soldered to PCB ground plane for low RθJA of 43.2°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BOOT | Bootstrap supply | Connects 0.1 µF X7R ceramic capacitor to SW; supplies gate drive voltage for high-side MOSFET during ON phase. |
| VIN | Main power input | Accepts 4–40 V; requires local 10 µF+ ceramic bypass capacitor placed within 3 mm of pin to minimize high-frequency noise coupling. |
| EN | Enable control | Precision analog input with 1.2 V threshold and internal 1 µA pull-up; supports system-level UVLO via external resistor divider. |
| RT/SYNC | Frequency control | Configurable as timing resistor node (200 kHz–2.5 MHz) or high-impedance sync input (250 kHz–2.3 MHz); includes PLL lock-in time of 100 µs. |
| FB | Voltage feedback | High-impedance input referenced to 0.75 V; connects to resistor divider from VOUT to set output voltage with <±1% accuracy. |
| SS | Soft-start ramp | Internal 3 µA current source charges external CSS capacitor; sets monotonic VOUT ramp time (e.g., 10 ms with 33 nF). |
| GND | System ground | Power and signal return; must be connected to thermal pad and low-impedance PCB ground plane for stable regulation and EMI control. |
| SW | Switch node | Drives external power inductor; exhibits fast edge rates requiring tight layout with minimized loop area to reduce radiated emissions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Spread-spectrum modulation | ±6% frequency dithering reduces peak EMI by >10 dB across 150 kHz–1 GHz band - critical for CISPR 25 Class 5 compliance in infotainment systems. |
| Internal compensation | Eliminates need for external Type II/III compensation network; reduces BOM count by ≥3 components and design validation effort for stable loop response. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for –40°C to +125°C ambient operation, HBM ±2 kV / CDM ±750 V ESD, and 15-year automotive reliability - suitable for powertrain and safety-critical ECUs. |
| Ultra-low shutdown current | 1 µA max shutdown IQ - preserves battery charge during vehicle sleep mode (e.g., >30 days without recharge in parked ADAS camera modules). |
| Adjustable UVLO hysteresis | Configurable start/stop thresholds (e.g., 12.5 V / 11.8 V) via EN divider resistors - prevents brownout oscillation during battery voltage sag in start-stop systems. |
| Thermal foldback protection | Reduces switching frequency and limits peak current when die temperature exceeds 150°C - maintains safe operation without abrupt shutdown in high-ambient environments. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LMR14030SSQDDAQ1?
The LMR14030SSQDDAQ1 has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 44 V on the VIN pin, with recommended operating range from 4 V to 40 V. This allows reliable operation during automotive load-dump events up to 40 V while maintaining regulation and protection integrity - confirmed per Section 5.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings in the official datasheet.
Does the LMR14030SSQDDAQ1 support external frequency synchronization?
Yes, the LMR14030SSQDDAQ1 supports external synchronization via the RT/SYNC pin, accepting square-wave clocks from 250 kHz to 2.3 MHz with defined thresholds (VSYNC_HI ≥ 1.7 V, VSYNC_LO ≤ 0.5 V) and minimum pulse width of 30 ns. PLL lock-in time is 100 µs, and the internal oscillator disables automatically when sync edges are detected - detailed in Section 5.6 Switching Characteristics.
How does the spread-spectrum feature of the LMR14030SSQDDAQ1 reduce EMI?
The LMR14030SSQDDAQ1 implements spread-spectrum modulation by dithering the switching frequency ±6% around the center value, spreading energy across a wider bandwidth and lowering peak radiated emissions by >10 dB. This is validated in CISPR 25 testing and eliminates need for additional EMI filters in automotive infotainment and ADAS modules - specified in Section 1 Features and Section 6.3.8.
What is the purpose of the SS pin on the LMR14030SSQDDAQ1?
The SS (soft-start) pin on the LMR14030SSQDDAQ1 controls output voltage ramp-up time using an internal 3 µA current source that charges an external capacitor (CSS) to generate a linear 0–0.75 V ramp. This prevents inrush current into output capacitors and downstream loads - with ramp time calculable as tSS = (CSS × 0.75 V) / 3 µA, per Section 6.3.7.
Is the LMR14030SSQDDAQ1 pin-compatible with other devices in the LMR140xx-Q1 family?
Yes, the LMR14030SSQDDAQ1 in the 8-pin HSOIC (DDA) package is pin-compatible with LMR14020SQDDARQ1 (2 A) and LMR14050SQDDARQ1 (5 A), sharing identical pinout, FB reference, enable behavior, and feature set - enabling scalable power design with no PCB changes.
