Product details
Overview
LMR16006XDDCR from Texas Instruments is a 60 V input, 0.6 A synchronous buck DC/DC regulator in SOT-6L package, featuring 0.7 MHz fixed switching frequency, 0.765 V feedback reference, and ECO mode for ultra-low 28 µA quiescent current-designed for industrial power conditioning and battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LMR16006XDDCR datasheet, LMR16006XDDCR pinout, LMR16006XDDCR application, or LMR16006XDDCR equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (4–60 V), peak current limit (1200–1700 mA), thermal shutdown threshold (170°C), and compatibility with ceramic output capacitors and external bootstrap capacitor.
Technical Context
The LMR16006XDDCR implements constant-frequency peak current-mode control with internal compensation and integrated high-side MOSFET (900 mΩ RDS(on)). Its bootstrap circuit (CB/SW pins) enables high-duty-cycle operation up to 96%, supported by CB-to-SW UVLO protection at 3 V.
ECO mode activates automatically when inductor peak current falls below ~80 mA, reducing switching losses and maintaining 28 µA quiescent current at light loads. Overvoltage transient protection (OVTP) clamps FB voltage at 108% of reference (0.826 V) to suppress overshoot during load unload transients.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4 V to 60 V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive rails without pre-regulation |
| Output Current | Up to 600 mA - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and interface ICs |
| Switching Frequency | 595–805 kHz (X version) - enables compact 22 µH inductors and low-ESR ceramic output caps |
| Feedback Reference | 0.747–0.782 V (typ 0.765 V) - sets output voltage via resistor divider; enables 3.3 V, 5 V, or custom outputs |
| Quiescent Current | 28 µA in ECO mode - extends battery life in always-on portable equipment |
| Shutdown Current | 1 µA max - ensures minimal leakage during system sleep states |
| Peak Current Limit | 1200–1700 mA - provides cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection without external sensing |
| Thermal Shutdown | 170°C trip, 160°C hysteresis - prevents damage under sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design |
Pinout & Package
SOT-6L (DDC) package: 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm, low-profile surface-mount, thermally enhanced with exposed pad (not electrically connected).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CB | Bootstrap bias supply | Connects external 100 nF ceramic capacitor to SW; supplies gate drive for internal high-side MOSFET |
| GND | Power and signal ground | Primary return path for VIN, SW, FB, SHDN; must be low-impedance copper pour for stability |
| FB | Feedback input | Monitors output voltage via resistor divider; regulates VOUT = 0.765 V × (1 + R1/R2) |
| SHDN | Enable/disable control | High-voltage tolerant (≤60 V); pull ≤1.25 V to disable; floating or ≥1.25 V enables regulator |
| VIN | Main power input | Supplies internal bias and drives high-side MOSFET drain; requires local 10 µF ceramic input capacitor |
| SW | Switch node | Connects to inductor, Schottky diode cathode, and CB capacitor; carries high dv/dt switching waveform |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated boot recharge diode | Eliminates external bootstrap diode, reducing BOM count and layout area in SOT-6L footprint |
| Internal soft-start | Prevents inrush current during startup; eliminates need for external SS capacitor or timing resistor |
| Overvoltage transient protection (OVTP) | Clamps high-side switch off when FB exceeds 0.826 V, limiting output overshoot during rapid load release |
| Pulse-by-pulse current limit | Enables robust short-circuit protection without foldback or hiccup; maintains regulation under partial overload |
| UVLO on VIN and SHDN | Ensures clean startup above 4 V input and allows programmable enable threshold using external resistor divider |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMR16006YDDCR | 2.1 MHz switching frequency (vs. 0.7 MHz); same pinout, package, and specs otherwise | Better suited for space-constrained designs needing smaller inductors/caps; higher switching loss at full load | Select Y version when board area is limited and efficiency at light-to-moderate load is prioritized |
| MP2451DT-LF-Z | 36 V max input, 0.6 A, 2 MHz, 3.3 µA IQ - no ECO mode; different pinout (SOT-23-6) | Lacks high-voltage capability and ultra-low-IQ ECO mode; requires external compensation | Use only if input never exceeds 36 V and thermal constraints allow higher IQ; not drop-in compatible |
Compared with LMR16006YDDCR, the LMR16006XDDCR trades higher-frequency component size reduction for lower switching loss at medium-to-heavy loads; versus MP2451DT-LF-Z, it delivers superior high-voltage resilience and battery longevity but requires no external compensation network.

FAQ
What is the switching frequency of the LMR16006XDDCR?
The LMR16006XDDCR operates at a fixed switching frequency of 595–805 kHz (typical 700 kHz). This X-version frequency enables use of standard 22 µH inductors and reduces EMI compared to higher-frequency alternatives, while maintaining compact solution size. The frequency is internally set and not adjustable.
Does the LMR16006XDDCR require an external bootstrap diode?
No, the LMR16006XDDCR integrates the bootstrap recharge diode internally. A single 100 nF ceramic capacitor between CB and SW pins suffices for gate drive-eliminating the external diode required by many competing buck regulators and simplifying layout in the SOT-6L footprint.
How does ECO mode function in the LMR16006XDDCR?
ECO mode in the LMR16006XDDCR activates automatically when inductor peak current drops below ~80 mA and output voltage remains regulated. In this mode, the device skips switching cycles to reduce gate drive and switching losses, achieving just 28 µA quiescent current-critical for extending battery life in always-on portable devices.
What is the maximum duty cycle supported by the LMR16006XDDCR?
The LMR16006XDDCR supports up to 96% maximum duty cycle, enabled by its bootstrap UVLO circuit and internal wimp FET refresh mechanism. This allows regulation down to VOUT ≈ VIN − 0.5 V under light loads, making it suitable for high-input, low-output applications like 24 V-to-3.3 V conversion without external LDO post-regulation.
Can the LMR16006XDDCR be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, the LMR16006XDDCR is fully compatible with low-ESR ceramic output capacitors. Its internal compensation and current-mode architecture stabilize with 10 µF X7R ceramics (as validated in TI's typical application circuit), eliminating need for tantalum or aluminum electrolytics and improving reliability and temperature stability.
