Product details
Overview
LMR16006YQ3DDCRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-grade synchronous buck DC-DC regulator delivering up to 600 mA output current with fixed 3.3 V output, 2.1 MHz switching frequency, and 28 µA standby current in ECO mode. It operates from 4 V to 40 V input, supports 97% duty cycle, and integrates internal compensation and soft-start for battery-powered automotive systems.
For engineers reviewing the LMR16006YQ3DDCRQ1 datasheet, LMR16006YQ3DDCRQ1 pinout, LMR16006YQ3DDCRQ1 application, or LMR16006YQ3DDCRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification (-40°C to +125°C), ultra-low shutdown current (1 µA), integrated boot diode, and SOT-6L package compatibility with space-constrained automotive modules.
Technical Context
The LMR16006YQ3DDCRQ1 implements constant-frequency peak current-mode control with internal slope compensation and leading-edge blanking for stable transient response. Its integrated high-side MOSFET features 900 mΩ RDS(on), and the bootstrap circuit (CB–SW) enables high-duty-cycle operation with automatic refresh via internal wimp FET.
It includes overcurrent protection via COMP node clamping, thermal shutdown at 170°C with 10°C hysteresis, and overvoltage transient protection (OVTP) that disables the high-side switch when FB exceeds 108% of 0.765 V reference-critical for low-COUT automotive designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4 V to 40 V - supports wide automotive battery range including cold-crank (4 V) and load-dump transients (up to 65 V absolute max). |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±3% - factory-trimmed for precision; eliminates external feedback resistors and reduces BOM count. |
| Max Output Current | 600 mA - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and CAN transceivers in automotive ECUs. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.1 MHz (±15%) - enables use of compact 6.8 µH inductors and 10 µF ceramic output capacitors. |
| Quiescent Current | 28 µA in ECO mode - extends battery life in always-on vehicle modules such as telematics and body controllers. |
| Shutdown Current | 1 µA - ensures minimal drain during vehicle sleep mode, meeting OEM quiescent power budgets. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.765 V (±2.3%) - sets accuracy of output regulation and defines minimum achievable output voltage (e.g., 0.8 V with external divider). |
| Thermal Shutdown | 170°C trip, 160°C recovery - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design without latch-up. |
Pinout & Package
LMR16006YQ3DDCRQ1 is housed in a thermally enhanced 6-pin SOT-6L (DDC) package measuring 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.0 mm, optimized for high-power-density automotive layouts with exposed pad for thermal dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CB (Pin 1) | Bootstrap bias supply | Connects to SW via 100 nF ceramic capacitor; supplies gate drive for internal high-side MOSFET; monitored by UVLO for safe high-duty-cycle operation. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power ground | Main return path for input, output, and IC bias currents; must be connected to low-impedance PCB ground plane adjacent to VIN and SW pins. |
| FB (Pin 3) | Feedback input | Internally tied to 0.765 V reference; unused in fixed 3.3 V version but must remain unconnected per datasheet guidance. |
| SHDN (Pin 4) | Enable/disable control | High-voltage tolerant (65 V max); pulled up internally; logic-high (>1.25 V) enables regulator; <1.25 V disables with 1 µA shutdown current. |
| VIN (Pin 5) | Main power input | Supplies internal LDO and high-side MOSFET drain; accepts 4–40 V DC; requires local 2.2 µF X7R ceramic decoupling close to pin. |
| SW (Pin 6) | Switch node | Connects to inductor, Schottky diode cathode, and CB capacitor; carries high dv/dt switching waveform; requires tight layout to minimize EMI. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified | Guarantees operation from –40°C to +125°C junction temperature-required for under-hood and infotainment applications. |
| Integrated boot diode | Eliminates external bootstrap diode, reducing component count and board area while improving reliability in high-temp environments. |
| ECO light-load mode | Automatically transitions to pulse-skipping at ILOAD < ~80 mA, maintaining >85% efficiency down to 1 mA output current. |
| Overvoltage transient protection (OVTP) | Clamps SW node when FB exceeds 0.826 V (108% × 0.765 V), preventing output overshoot during fast load release-critical for 3.3 V I/O rails. |
| Internal soft-start | 1.2 ms typical ramp time limits inrush current into output capacitor, avoiding input voltage droop and system brownout. |
| 97% maximum duty cycle | Enables operation with VIN as low as 3.4 V at 3.3 V output-supports cold-crank conditions without dropout. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMR14006Q3DDARQ1 | 40 V input, 600 mA, same SOT-6L package but 400 kHz switching frequency; higher quiescent current (40 µA in eco-mode). | Better suited for noise-sensitive analog circuits where lower switching frequency eases EMI filtering; less optimal for space-constrained designs requiring small magnetics. | Select when EMI compliance dictates sub-1 MHz operation and thermal budget allows higher IQ. |
| TPS543320RSAR | 2.2 V to 18 V input, 3 A output, 2.2 MHz, QFN-16; requires external compensation and feedback resistors. | Targets higher-current applications like infotainment processors; lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and automotive temp range. | Choose only for non-automotive industrial use where >600 mA is required and AEC-Q100 is not mandated. |
Compared with LMR16006YQ3DDCRQ1, LMR14006Q3DDARQ1 trades switching frequency for slightly higher IQ and identical automotive qualification, while TPS543320RSAR offers higher current and integration at the cost of qualification and fixed-output simplicity-neither is pin-compatible, and both require layout changes.

FAQ
What is the operating junction temperature range for LMR16006YQ3DDCRQ1?
The LMR16006YQ3DDCRQ1 is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified with a guaranteed operating junction temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. This specification is validated per JEDEC standards and applies across all recommended input voltages and load conditions. Thermal performance data-including RθJA = 102°C/W for the DDC package-is measured on a standard 4-layer 3" × 3" test board per JESD51-2.
Does LMR16006YQ3DDCRQ1 require external feedback resistors?
No, LMR16006YQ3DDCRQ1 is the fixed 3.3 V output variant and does not require external feedback resistors. The FB pin is internally connected to the 0.765 V reference and must be left unconnected per the datasheet. External resistors are only needed for adjustable versions (e.g., LMR16006YQ) to set VOUT using the equation VOUT = 0.765 V × (1 + R1/R2).
How does the ECO mode function in LMR16006YQ3DDCRQ1?
LMR16006YQ3DDCRQ1 enters ECO mode automatically when output voltage remains regulated and peak inductor current falls below ~80 mA-typically at loads below 50 mA depending on VIN/VOUT ratio and inductor value. In this mode, the device reduces switching and gate-drive losses, achieving 28 µA quiescent current while maintaining regulation. It resumes PWM operation immediately upon load increase.
Can LMR16006YQ3DDCRQ1 withstand automotive load dump transients?
Yes, LMR16006YQ3DDCRQ1 has an absolute maximum input rating of 65 V and is designed to survive ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump) transients up to 60 V for 400 ms when properly protected with input TVS clamping. Its internal circuitry remains functional during these events, and the 4–40 V recommended operating range ensures robustness across normal battery and transient conditions.
What is the purpose of the CB pin on LMR16006YQ3DDCRQ1?
The CB (Charge Boot) pin on LMR16006YQ3DDCRQ1 provides gate drive voltage for the internal high-side MOSFET via a capacitor connected between CB and SW. This bootstrap circuit enables high-side switching without a floating supply. The device monitors CB–SW voltage and disables the high-side FET if it drops below 3 V, allowing the low-side path to recharge the capacitor-enabling reliable 97% duty cycle operation.
