Product details
Overview
LMR16006XDDCT from Texas Instruments is a 60 V input, 600 mA 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 equipment requiring high efficiency at light loads.
For engineers reviewing the LMR16006XDDCT datasheet, LMR16006XDDCT pinout, LMR16006XDDCT application, or LMR16006XDDCT equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (4–60 V), thermal shutdown threshold (170°C), peak current limit (1200–1700 mA), bootstrap capacitor support (CB/SW), and integrated soft-start with internal compensation.
Technical Context
The LMR16006XDDCT implements constant-frequency peak current-mode control with internal slope compensation and leading-edge blanking to stabilize loop response and suppress noise-induced false triggering. Its integrated high-side MOSFET features 900 mΩ typical RDS(on) and is driven via an internal boot regulator that monitors CB-to-SW voltage for UVLO-based refresh control.
ECO mode activates automatically when inductor peak current falls below ~80 mA, disabling PWM switching and reducing quiescent current to 28 µA while maintaining output regulation-enabling >85% efficiency at 1 mA load. Shutdown current is 1 µA, and undervoltage lockout thresholds are 3 V (falling) and 4 V (rising).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4 V to 60 V - supports wide-range unregulated sources including automotive batteries and industrial rails. |
| Output Current | Up to 600 mA - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and interface ICs in compact systems. |
| Switching Frequency | 595–805 kHz (X version) - enables use of small 22 µH inductors and 10 µF ceramic output capacitors. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.747–0.782 V (typ 0.765 V) - sets output voltage via resistor divider; allows precise low-voltage outputs down to ~0.8 V. |
| Quiescent Current | 28 µA in ECO mode - extends battery life in always-on portable instrumentation without sacrificing regulation. |
| Shutdown Current | 1 µA max - ensures minimal leakage during system sleep states. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 170°C trip, 160°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-6L (DDC) package: 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm, low-profile surface-mount with exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected). Thermal resistance RθJA = 102°C/W on standard 4-layer board.
| 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 ground | Primary return path for input, output, and internal circuitry; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise and thermal rise. |
| FB | Feedback input | Monitors output voltage via resistor divider; regulates output by comparing to 0.765 V internal reference. |
| SHDN | Enable/disable control | High-voltage tolerant (≤60 V); pull below 1.25 V to disable; floating or ≥1.25 V enables operation. |
| VIN | Main power input | Supplies internal bias and drains high-side MOSFET; accepts 4–60 V with 65 V absolute max rating. |
| SW | Switch node | Connects to inductor, catch diode, and CB capacitor; carries high dv/dt switching waveform and pulsed current. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated boot recharge diode | Eliminates external diode, reducing BOM count and layout area while enabling reliable high-duty-cycle operation. |
| Internal soft-start | Prevents inrush current during startup by gradually ramping COMP node voltage-no external capacitor required. |
| Pulse-by-pulse overcurrent protection | Clamps COMP voltage to limit peak switch current to 1200–1700 mA, preventing MOSFET failure under short-circuit conditions. |
| Overvoltage transient protection (OVTP) | Disables high-side switch if FB exceeds 108% of reference (≈0.826 V), minimizing overshoot during load dump or unload transients. |
| High-voltage enable input | SHDN pin tolerates up to 60 V and includes internal pull-up-enables direct connection to 12/24 V system rails without level-shifting. |
Applications
| Industrial Distributed Power | Automotive Body Control |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMR14006XDDCT | 40 V max input, same 600 mA output, 0.7 MHz, identical SOT-6L package and pinout. | Not suitable for >40 V inputs (e.g., industrial 48 V or automotive load dump). | Select when input never exceeds 40 V-offers lower RDS(on) (650 mΩ) and improved light-load efficiency. |
| MP2451DT-LF-Z | 36 V max input, 0.6 A, 2 MHz, SOT-23-6 package; no integrated boot diode; requires external bootstrap diode. | Larger solution size due to external components; less robust under high-duty-cycle conditions. | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where 2 MHz enables smaller magnetics and footprint is secondary to BOM count. |
Compared with LMR14006XDDCT, the LMR16006XDDCT provides 20 V higher input tolerance critical for industrial transients; versus MP2451DT-LF-Z, it delivers superior integration and reliability in high-duty-cycle or battery-critical applications despite slightly larger package.

FAQ
What is the switching frequency of the LMR16006XDDCT?
The LMR16006XDDCT operates at a fixed switching frequency of 595–805 kHz (typical 700 kHz), optimized for use with compact 22 µH inductors and ceramic output capacitors. This frequency balances efficiency, EMI performance, and component size-distinct from the 2.1 MHz Y-version. The X-version's lower frequency reduces switching losses at medium-to-heavy loads while maintaining fast transient response.
Does the LMR16006XDDCT require an external bootstrap diode?
No, the LMR16006XDDCT integrates the bootstrap recharge diode internally, eliminating the need for an external component between CB and VIN. This simplifies layout, reduces BOM count, and improves reliability in high-duty-cycle applications-unlike many competing buck regulators that mandate external diodes for boot capacitor refresh.
How does ECO mode function in the LMR16006XDDCT?
ECO mode in the LMR16006XDDCT activates automatically when inductor peak current drops below ~80 mA, suspending PWM switching to reduce quiescent current to 28 µA. It maintains output regulation using burst-mode-like operation-ideal for battery-powered devices in standby. The LMR16006XDDCT exits ECO mode seamlessly when load increases, ensuring no output voltage glitch or delay.
What is the maximum duty cycle supported by the LMR16006XDDCT?
The LMR16006XDDCT supports up to 96% maximum duty cycle, enabled by its boot UVLO circuit and internal wimp FET refresh mechanism. When CB-to-SW voltage falls below 3 V, the high-side MOSFET turns off to allow the low-side path to recharge the boot capacitor-permitting continuous conduction even at VIN/VOUT ratios near 12:1, such as 48 V → 5 V conversion.
Can the LMR16006XDDCT be used with ceramic output capacitors only?
Yes, the LMR16006XDDCT is fully compatible with ceramic-only output capacitance, including 10 µF X7R types commonly used in its reference designs. Its internal compensation and current-mode architecture ensure stability without requiring ESR-based damping-eliminating the need for aluminum or tantalum capacitors and reducing solution size, cost, and aging-related drift.
