Product details
Overview
LMR16006YQ5DDCTQ1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-grade synchronous buck DC-DC regulator delivering up to 600 mA output current with fixed 5 V output, 2.1 MHz switching frequency, 0.765 V feedback reference, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification (–40°C to +125°C). It operates from 4 V to 40 V input, supports 97% duty cycle, and integrates internal compensation and soft-start for battery-powered automotive power conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the LMR16006YQ5DDCTQ1 datasheet, LMR16006YQ5DDCTQ1 pinout, LMR16006YQ5DDCTQ1 application, or LMR16006YQ5DDCTQ1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its ECO mode quiescent current (28 µA), shutdown current (1 µA), thermal shutdown threshold (170°C), overvoltage transient protection (OVTP), and SOT-6L package compatibility with space-constrained automotive modules.
Technical Context
The LMR16006YQ5DDCTQ1 implements constant-frequency peak current-mode control with internal slope compensation and leading-edge blanking to ensure stable regulation under line/load transients. Its integrated high-side MOSFET features 900 mΩ RDS(on) and is driven via a bootstrap capacitor (CB–SW), monitored by a dedicated UVLO circuit enabling reliable high-duty-cycle operation.
It uses a 0.765 V precision internal voltage reference and error amplifier to regulate output via external FB divider; the fixed 5 V version eliminates R1/R2 selection while retaining full adjustability in the LMR16006YQ variant. Thermal shutdown (170°C trip, 160°C hysteresis) and cycle-by-cycle current limiting (1200–1700 mA peak) provide robust fault protection without external components.
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 (65 V absolute max). |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5 V ±3% - factory-trimmed for precision; no external resistors required for standard 5 V rail generation. |
| Max Output Current | 600 mA - sufficient for MCU cores, sensors, CAN transceivers, and infotainment subsystems in compact modules. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.1 MHz (1785–2415 kHz) - enables use of small 6.8 µH inductors and 10 µF ceramic output capacitors, reducing solution size. |
| Quiescent Current | 28 µA in ECO mode - extends battery life in always-on vehicle modules (e.g., telematics, alarm systems) during light-load sleep states. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.765 V (±1.8%) - sets output accuracy and stability margin; used directly in adjustable versions via R1/R2 divider. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 170°C trip / 10°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design without latch-up. |
Pinout & Package
The LMR16006YQ5DDCTQ1 is housed in a thermally enhanced 6-pin SOT-6L (DDC) package measuring 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.0 mm, optimized for low-profile automotive PCBs with minimal thermal vias.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CB | Bootstrap bias supply | Connects external 100 nF ceramic capacitor to SW; supplies gate drive voltage for internal high-side MOSFET. |
| GND | Power ground reference | Primary return path for input, output, and internal control circuits; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise. |
| FB | Feedback input | Monitors output voltage via internal 0.765 V reference; unused in fixed-5V version but retained for compatibility. |
| SHDN | Enable/disable control | High-voltage tolerant (≤60 V); pull below 1.25 V to disable; floating or ≥1.25 V enables regulator with 1 µA shutdown current. |
| VIN | Main power input | Supplies internal bias and drives high-side MOSFET drain; accepts 4–40 V with transient rating up to 65 V. |
| SW | Switch node | Connects to inductor, Schottky diode cathode, and CB capacitor; carries high dv/dt switching waveform requiring tight layout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ECO Mode Efficiency Optimization | Reduces quiescent current to 28 µA at light loads (<80 mA peak inductor current), improving efficiency in standby without burst-mode noise. |
| Integrated Boot Diode & Refresh Logic | Eliminates external boot diode; internal circuit refreshes CB capacitor during dropout or light-load conditions to sustain >97% duty cycle. |
| Overvoltage Transient Protection (OVTP) | Clamps high-side switch when FB exceeds 108% of 0.765 V reference, limiting output overshoot during fast unload transients with low-Cout designs. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 Qualification | Validated for automotive operation from –40°C to +125°C junction temperature, including HTOL, temperature cycling, and ESD (HBM ±2 kV, CDM ±500 V). |
| Internal Soft-Start & Compensation | Prevents inrush current during startup; eliminates need for external compensation network or SS capacitor in most applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMR14006Q5DDARQ1 | Higher input voltage (40 V vs. 40 V same), same 600 mA output, but 400 kHz–2.5 MHz adjustable frequency and external compensation. | Requires external loop compensation and frequency setting resistors; better for noise-sensitive or EMI-tuned designs. | Select when adjustable frequency or custom loop response is needed; not drop-in due to different pinout and compensation requirements. |
| TPS54360BQDDAQ1 | Same AEC-Q100 Grade 1, 60 V input, 3.5 A output, but larger SOIC-8 package and higher quiescent current (145 µA in Eco-mode). | Supports higher current loads and wider VIN range; less suitable for ultra-low-power always-on modules. | Choose for higher-output-current automotive rails where 3.5 A capability and 60 V transient handling outweigh size and IQ penalties. |
Compared with LMR16006YQ5DDCTQ1, LMR14006Q5DDARQ1 offers design flexibility at the cost of component count and board area, while TPS54360BQDDAQ1 trades ultra-low quiescent current for higher output capability and ruggedness-making LMR16006YQ5DDCTQ1 optimal for compact, low-IQ 5 V automotive sub-systems.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the LMR16006YQ5DDCTQ1 under full load and temperature range?
The LMR16006YQ5DDCTQ1 delivers a fixed 5 V output with ±3% tolerance across the full AEC-Q100 Grade 1 operating junction temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) and up to 600 mA load. This specification is verified per TI's electrical characteristics table (VOUT = 4.85 V to 5.15 V at TJ = –40°C to +125°C), ensuring consistent performance in automotive environments without external trimming.
Does the LMR16006YQ5DDCTQ1 require external compensation components?
No, the LMR16006YQ5DDCTQ1 features fully internal compensation, eliminating the need for external RC networks on the COMP or FB pins. This simplifies design, reduces BOM count, and improves reliability-especially critical in automotive applications where component count directly impacts field failure rates. The internal compensation is optimized for typical 6.8 µH inductors and 10 µF ceramic output capacitors.
How does the ECO mode in the LMR16006YQ5DDCTQ1 differ from standard pulse-skipping or burst mode?
The LMR16006YQ5DDCTQ1 enters ECO mode based on peak inductor current (≤80 mA), not average load current, enabling precise light-load efficiency optimization without audible noise or output voltage ripple associated with burst mode. In ECO mode, it draws only 28 µA quiescent current while maintaining regulated 5 V output-ideal for automotive modules that remain powered during vehicle sleep cycles.
Can the LMR16006YQ5DDCTQ1 operate with input voltage below 4 V?
No-the LMR16006YQ5DDCTQ1 has a guaranteed minimum operating input voltage of 4 V per its recommended operating conditions. Below this, undervoltage lockout (UVLO) disables regulation to prevent unstable operation. The rising UVLO threshold is 4 V, and the falling threshold is 3 V, providing hysteresis to avoid oscillation near the cutoff point. For sub-4 V battery applications, a different regulator such as the TPS62840 is required.
What is the maximum duty cycle supported by the LMR16006YQ5DDCTQ1 and how is it achieved?
The LMR16006YQ5DDCTQ1 supports up to 97% maximum duty cycle, enabled by its integrated boot UVLO and CB refresh logic. When CB-to-SW voltage drops below 3 V, the high-side MOSFET is disabled to allow the low-side path to recharge the boot capacitor. This architecture sustains high duty cycle even at low VIN–VOUT differentials-critical for automotive cold-crank (e.g., 6 V input → 5 V output) without dropout.
