Product details
Overview
LMR16006YQ3DDCTQ1 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, 4–40 V input range, and 28 µA ECO-mode quiescent current. It integrates high-side MOSFET, bootstrap regulator, and internal compensation for compact power conversion in vehicle infotainment and body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the LMR16006YQ3DDCTQ1 datasheet, LMR16006YQ3DDCTQ1 pinout, LMR16006YQ3DDCTQ1 application, or LMR16006YQ3DDCTQ1 equivalent, key selection considerations include AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification (-40°C to +125°C), 97% maximum duty cycle support, integrated boot diode, and 0.765 V feedback reference for precision output regulation.
Technical Context
The LMR16006YQ3DDCTQ1 employs 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 typical RDS(on), while the bootstrap circuit (CB–SW) enables high-duty-cycle operation up to 97% when CB-to-SW voltage remains above 3 V.
It implements ECO mode below ~80 mA inductor peak current to reduce switching losses, entering ultra-low 28 µA quiescent current state while maintaining regulation. Thermal shutdown triggers at 170°C with 10°C hysteresis, and overvoltage transient protection (OVTP) clamps high-side switch if FB exceeds 108% of 0.765 V reference to limit output overshoot during load unload.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4 V to 40 V - supports wide automotive battery rail 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 without external resistor divider |
| Max Output Current | 600 mA - sufficient for microcontrollers, sensors, and CAN transceivers in distributed ECUs |
| Switching Frequency | 2.1 MHz (±15%) - enables use of sub-10 µH inductors and <10 µF ceramic output capacitors |
| Quiescent Current | 28 µA in ECO mode - extends battery runtime in always-on vehicle modules like telematics |
| Feedback Reference | 0.765 V (±2.3%) - sets output accuracy and enables adjustable variants via external resistors |
| Shutdown Current | 1 µA - minimizes leakage during system sleep states |
| Thermal Shutdown | 170°C trip, 160°C recovery - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design |
Pinout & Package
LMR16006YQ3DDCTQ1 is housed in a thermally enhanced SOT-6L (DDC) package measuring 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.0 mm, optimized for high-power-density automotive layouts with exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CB (Pin 1) | Bootstrap capacitor connection | Provides gate drive voltage for internal high-side MOSFET; requires 100 nF ceramic capacitor between CB and SW |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power and signal ground reference | Primary return path for input, output, and internal bias currents; must be low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane |
| FB (Pin 3) | Feedback input | Monitors regulated output via internal 0.765 V reference; unused in fixed 3.3 V version but internally connected |
| SHDN (Pin 4) | Enable/disable control | High-voltage tolerant input (0–40 V); pulled high internally; <1.25 V disables regulator and reduces current to 1 µA |
| VIN (Pin 5) | Main power input | Supplies internal LDO and high-side MOSFET drain; accepts 4–40 V with transient rating up to 65 V |
| SW (Pin 6) | Switch node | Connects to inductor, catch diode (or sync FET), and CB capacitor; carries high dv/dt switching waveform |

FAQ
What is the operating junction temperature range for LMR16006YQ3DDCTQ1?
The LMR16006YQ3DDCTQ1 is qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 with a specified operating junction temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. This rating is validated through accelerated stress testing and ensures functional reliability under continuous automotive under-hood conditions. The device incorporates thermal shutdown at 170°C with 10°C hysteresis to prevent permanent damage during abnormal operation. LMR16006YQ3DDCTQ1 must be mounted on a PCB with adequate copper pour and thermal vias to maintain TJ ≤125°C at full 600 mA load.
Does LMR16006YQ3DDCTQ1 require external compensation components?
No, LMR16006YQ3DDCTQ1 features fully internal compensation, eliminating the need for external RC networks on the COMP or FB pins. This simplifies design, reduces bill-of-materials count, and improves production consistency. The internal compensation is optimized for stability with standard 6.8 µH inductors and 10 µF ceramic output capacitors across the full 4–40 V input range. LMR16006YQ3DDCTQ1 achieves phase margin >45° and gain margin >10 dB under all recommended operating conditions without user adjustment.
How does the ECO mode in LMR16006YQ3DDCTQ1 improve light-load efficiency?
LMR16006YQ3DDCTQ1 enters ECO mode automatically when inductor peak current falls below ~80 mA, transitioning from fixed-frequency PWM to pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) to minimize switching and gate-drive losses. This reduces quiescent current to 28 µA while maintaining tight output regulation. Efficiency remains above 85% at 1 mA load and exceeds 90% at 10 mA - critical for always-on automotive modules. LMR16006YQ3DDCTQ1 exits ECO mode seamlessly when load increases, resuming 2.1 MHz operation without output disturbance.
Can LMR16006YQ3DDCTQ1 operate with input voltage as low as 4 V while delivering 3.3 V output?
Yes, LMR16006YQ3DDCTQ1 supports 97% maximum duty cycle, enabling operation with VIN as low as 3.4 V (3.3 V ÷ 0.97) while sustaining regulated 3.3 V output. At 4 V input, the device delivers full 600 mA with typical efficiency >88%. This capability is essential for automotive cold-crank scenarios where battery voltage drops to 4 V. The internal boot UVLO and wimp-FET refresh ensure reliable high-duty-cycle operation without external circuitry. LMR16006YQ3DDCTQ1 maintains regulation down to 4 V input across its full temperature range.
What protection features are integrated into LMR16006YQ3DDCTQ1?
LMR16006YQ3DDCTQ1 integrates cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection (1.2–1.7 A peak limit), thermal shutdown (170°C trip, 160°C recovery), overvoltage transient protection (OVTP) that disables the high-side switch if FB exceeds 108% of 0.765 V, and input undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with 4 V rising threshold. All protections are fully internal - no external components required. The device also includes internal soft-start (1.2 ms) and ESD ratings of ±2000 V HBM and ±500 V CDM per AEC-Q100. LMR16006YQ3DDCTQ1 latches off only during thermal fault; all other protections are auto-recovering.
