Product details
Overview
LMR14050SSQDDAQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive-grade synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with integrated 90 mΩ high-side MOSFET, delivering 5 A continuous output current across 4 V to 40 V input range, featuring 40 µA quiescent current and spread-spectrum EMI reduction - used in battery regulation for ADAS domain controllers and infotainment head units.
For engineers reviewing the LMR14050SSQDDAQ1 datasheet, LMR14050SSQDDAQ1 pinout, LMR14050SSQDDAQ1 application, or LMR14050SSQDDAQ1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 75 ns minimum on-time, 200 kHz–2.5 MHz adjustable switching frequency, thermal shutdown at 170°C, precision enable threshold (1.2 V), and feedback reference voltage of 0.750 V.
Technical Context
The LMR14050SSQDDAQ1 implements fixed-frequency peak current mode control with internal loop compensation, enabling stable operation without external compensation components. Its sleep-mode operation reduces IQ to 40 µA under light load while maintaining regulation via COMP voltage clamping at 400 mV.
It supports high-duty-cycle operation up to 97% via bootstrap capacitor recharge circuitry and integrates cycle-by-cycle current limiting, overvoltage protection, and thermal shutdown. The RT/SYNC pin enables either resistor-programmed frequency setting or synchronization to an external clock (250 kHz–2.3 MHz) with PLL lock-in time of 100 µs.
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 | 5 A continuous - sufficient to power multi-rail SoCs, radar processors, or display subsystems without external current boosting. |
| Quiescent Current | 40 µA - enables >1-year standby battery life in always-on vehicle modules such as telematics or gateway ECUs. |
| Switching Frequency | 200 kHz to 2.5 MHz - allows trade-off between inductor size (higher fSW) and efficiency (lower fSW), with external sync capability for noise-sensitive domains. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.750 V ±1.5% - enables precise output voltage setting (e.g., 1.8 V, 3.3 V, 5 V) using standard 1% resistors with minimal error contribution. |
| High-Side RDS(on) | 90 mΩ typical - reduces conduction loss and thermal stress at full load, supporting compact thermal design in HSOIC-8 PowerPAD™ package. |
| Min. On-Time | 75 ns - enables high step-down ratios (e.g., 24 V → 1.2 V at 500 kHz) without pulse-skipping instability. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 170°C with 12°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking while allowing safe recovery after fault clearance. |
Pinout & Package
LMR14050SSQDDAQ1 is housed in an 8-pin HSOIC (DDA) package with exposed thermal pad (4.9 mm × 6 mm), optimized for automotive board space constraints and thermal performance (RθJA = 43.2°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BOOT | Bootstrap supply | Drives high-side MOSFET gate; requires 0.1 µF X7R ceramic capacitor to SW for reliable 5 A switching. |
| VIN | Main power input | Accepts 4–40 V; must be decoupled with low-ESR ceramic capacitors placed adjacent to pin to minimize high-frequency ringing. |
| EN | Enable control | Logic-compatible 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 resistor-set oscillator (200 kHz–2.5 MHz) or high-impedance sync input (250 kHz–2.3 MHz) with automatic mode switching. |
| FB | Voltage feedback | Monitors output via resistor divider; 0.750 V reference enables accurate regulation independent of temperature or line variation. |
| SS | Soft-start timing | Controls output ramp rate via external capacitor; prevents inrush into large output capacitance or downstream LDOs. |
| GND | Power ground | Reference for all analog and power circuits; must be connected to solid PCB ground plane for EMI and thermal performance. |
| SW | Power switch node | Connects to external inductor; high di/dt node requiring tight layout and Kelvin return path to minimize switching losses. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Spread-spectrum modulation | Reduces peak EMI by ±6% frequency dithering - meets CISPR 25 Class 5 requirements without added shielding or filter components. |
| Internal compensation | Eliminates need for external Type II/III compensation network - cuts BOM count by ≥3 parts and accelerates design validation. |
| Precision enable with UVLO hysteresis | Enables robust power sequencing and battery undervoltage protection using two external resistors - no additional supervisor IC required. |
| 97% max duty cycle | Supports ultra-low dropout operation (e.g., 5.5 V → 5.0 V at 5 A), critical for post-buck regulation in 12 V automotive systems. |
| Thermal and fault protection | Integrated thermal shutdown, output overvoltage, and cycle-by-cycle current limit - ensures fail-safe behavior during short-circuit or overtemperature events. |
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C ambient), HBM ±2 kV / CDM ±750 V - validated for under-hood and cockpit applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMR14030SQDDAQ1 | 3.5 A output current, identical pinout and package, same 40 µA IQ and spread-spectrum feature set. | Suitable where peak load current remains ≤3.5 A - reduces thermal margin requirement and simplifies heatsinking. | Select when system load profile confirms <3.5 A continuous demand and cost optimization is prioritized over headroom. |
| TPS54560QDGQRQ1 | 60 V input rating, 5 A output, but higher 145 µA IQ and no spread-spectrum; uses different 10-pin MSOP package. | Better suited for trucks or commercial vehicles with 24 V nominal systems subject to higher transients; lacks EMI-reduction features. | Choose only if input voltage exceeds 40 V or if TI's SIMPLE SWITCHER® ecosystem compatibility is not required. |
Compared with LMR14030SQDDAQ1, the LMR14050SSQDDAQ1 provides 1.5 A higher current headroom for future-proofing and transient tolerance; versus TPS54560QDGQRQ1, it delivers superior EMI performance and lower quiescent current at the cost of reduced input voltage range.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LMR14050SSQDDAQ1?
The LMR14050SSQDDAQ1 has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 44 V, with recommended operating range from 4 V to 40 V. This allows reliable operation during automotive load-dump events (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a) without external clamping, provided proper input capacitance and layout practices are followed per TI's LMR14050-Q1 layout guidelines.
Does the LMR14050SSQDDAQ1 support external frequency synchronization?
Yes, the LMR14050SSQDDAQ1 supports external clock synchronization via the RT/SYNC pin across 250 kHz to 2.3 MHz. When driven above the PLL upper threshold (~1.7 V), the internal oscillator disables and the pin becomes a high-impedance sync input; falling edges trigger PLL lock-in within 100 µs. No additional components are needed beyond AC coupling if driving from a low-impedance source.
How does the spread-spectrum feature of the LMR14050SSQDDAQ1 reduce EMI?
The LMR14050SSQDDAQ1 spreads its switching frequency by ±6% around the center value using dithering, which distributes radiated energy across a wider bandwidth. This lowers peak emissions by up to 10 dB compared to fixed-frequency operation - enabling compliance with CISPR 25 Class 5 limits in automotive environments without added ferrite beads or metal shielding.
What is the purpose of the SS pin on the LMR14050SSQDDAQ1?
The SS (soft-start) pin on the LMR14050SSQDDAQ1 controls output voltage ramp-up time via an external capacitor. An internal 3 µA current source charges the capacitor to generate a controlled voltage ramp applied to the error amplifier, preventing inrush current into large output capacitors or downstream regulators. Typical values range from 1 nF to 4.7 nF depending on desired startup time.
Can the LMR14050SSQDDAQ1 operate in dropout condition, and what is its maximum duty cycle?
Yes, the LMR14050SSQDDAQ1 supports high-duty-cycle operation up to 97%, enabled by its bootstrap capacitor recharge circuit. When VIN approaches VOUT, the device maintains regulation by extending on-time and periodically pulling SW low to refresh BOOT. This allows stable operation down to ~5.2 V input for a 5 V output, making it suitable for post-regulation in 12 V systems.
