Product details
Overview
LMR38025FSQDRRRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous buck converter delivering 2.5A continuous output current across a 4.2V–80V input range, featuring 40µA quiescent current, 200kHz–2.2MHz adjustable switching frequency, and integrated spread spectrum for EMI reduction - deployed in 48V mild hybrid ECU bias supplies and motor control systems.
For engineers reviewing the LMR38025FSQDRRRQ1 datasheet, LMR38025FSQDRRRQ1 pinout, LMR38025FSQDRRRQ1 application, or LMR38025FSQDRRRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its FPWM mode support for low ripple, precision enable with ±1.5% reference tolerance over –40°C to +150°C, and wettable-flank WSON-12 package enabling CIPR25 Class 5 compliance.
Technical Context
The LMR38025FSQDRRRQ1 implements fixed-frequency peak-current mode control with internal compensation, supporting both PFM (for light-load efficiency) and forced PWM (FPWM) modes. Its high-side/low-side MOSFETs feature RDS(on) of 303mΩ and 133mΩ respectively, enabling stable regulation down to 1V output via external feedback divider.
It integrates functional safety documentation support, precision UVLO on EN (1.1V–1.4V enable threshold), and a glitch-filtered open-drain power-good flag with 90–114% FB voltage hysteresis. The RT/SYNC pin enables either resistor-programmed frequency (200kHz–2.2MHz) or external clock synchronization (300kHz–2.1MHz).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.2V to 80V - supports direct connection to 48V battery rails and withstands load-dump transients up to 85V absolute max. |
| Output Current | 2.5A continuous - sufficient for biasing microcontrollers, gate drivers, and sensors in automotive ECUs without external current boosting. |
| IQ (Non-Switching) | 40µA - enables always-on subsystems (e.g., CAN wake-up circuits) to meet automotive low-power standby requirements. |
| Switching Frequency | 200kHz to 2.2MHz - adjustable via RT resistor or external sync clock to avoid noise-sensitive bands (e.g., AM radio, radar). |
| Reference Voltage Tolerance | ±1.5% over –40°C to +150°C - ensures tight output regulation across full automotive junction temperature range. |
| Duty Cycle Max | 97% - allows operation near dropout (e.g., VIN = 4.5V → VOUT = 3.3V), critical for cold-crank scenarios in 12V/48V systems. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 163°C shutdown / 150°C recovery - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking in enclosed automotive enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
LMR38025FSQDRRRQ1 uses a 12-pin WSON (DRR) package with 3mm × 3mm footprint and wettable flanks for automated optical inspection (AOI). The exposed thermal pad (EP) must be soldered to PCB ground plane for optimal thermal performance (RθJA = 54.3°C/W, RθJC(bot) = 4.7°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 1, 2) | Power and analog ground | Common return for VIN bypass, feedback, and PG; requires low-inductance connection to thermal pad. |
| EN (Pin 3) | Enable control input | Logic-level input (1.1V–1.4V threshold); connects directly to VIN for self-start or to MCU GPIO for sequencing. |
| NC (Pin 4) | No connect | Floating pin - must remain unconnected per datasheet; no internal circuitry attached. |
| VIN (Pins 5, 6) | Main input supply | High-current path for 4.2V–80V input; requires local 10µF+ ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pins 5/6. |
| RT/SYNC (Pin 7) | Frequency programming or sync input | Configurable as resistor-to-GND (200kHz–2.2MHz) or high-Z clock input (300kHz–2.1MHz); internal PLL locks within 230µs. |
| FB (Pin 8) | Feedback reference node | Connects to mid-point of resistor divider; 1.0V internal reference enables precise adjustable outputs (1V–75V) with ±1.5% tolerance. |
| PG (Pin 9) | Open-drain power-good flag | Asserts low when VOUT drops below 90% or rises above 114% of target; includes 45µs glitch filter and internal 92Ω pull-down. |
| BOOT (Pin 10) | Bootstrap supply for high-side driver | Requires 100nF ceramic capacitor between BOOT and SW; enables NMOS high-side switch operation without external charge pump. |
| SW (Pins 11, 12) | Switch node | High dv/dt node connecting to power inductor; demands short, wide copper pour and minimized loop area to reduce EMI. |
| EP (Thermal Pad) | Thermal and electrical ground | Mandatory solder connection to PCB ground plane; accounts for >90% of heat dissipation in typical layout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Functional Safety Documentation Support | Includes FIT rate data, failure mode analysis, and diagnostic coverage reports - accelerates ISO 26262 ASIL-B system certification. |
| Spread Spectrum Modulation | Reduces peak EMI emissions by up to 10dB across 150kHz–108MHz band - simplifies CIPR25 Class 5 compliance without added shielding. |
| Prebiased Output Startup | Allows safe startup into precharged output capacitors (e.g., backup rails), preventing reverse current flow and inrush damage. |
| Integrated Compensation Network | Eliminates need for external Type-II/III compensation components - reduces BOM count and design iteration time for stable loop response. |
| Hiccup Mode Short-Circuit Protection | Enters 500ms off-time after fault detection - limits average power dissipation during sustained shorts while enabling automatic recovery. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMR36520SQDRRRQ1 | Lower 65V max input, 2A output, 26µA IQ, same WSON-12 package | Better suited for 12V/24V systems with tighter space constraints; lacks FPWM mode and spread spectrum | Select when input voltage never exceeds 65V and ultra-low IQ is prioritized over EMI robustness. |
| TPS546D24RVFT | 60V max input, 6A output, PMBus interface, 45µA IQ, 16-pin QFN | Supports digital configuration and telemetry; higher current but larger footprint and no AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Choose for programmable features and telemetry in non-safety-critical 48V subsystems where layout space permits. |
Compared with LMR36520SQDRRRQ1 and TPS546D24RVFT, the LMR38025FSQDRRRQ1 uniquely balances 80V input capability, FPWM+spread spectrum EMI mitigation, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification - making it the only option qualified for direct integration into 48V mild hybrid main power domains requiring functional safety alignment.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LMR38025FSQDRRRQ1?
The LMR38025FSQDRRRQ1 has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 85V across VIN to PGND, with recommended operating range from 4.2V to 80V. This 80V upper limit ensures reliable operation during load-dump transients common in 48V automotive systems while maintaining margin below the 85V absolute maximum.
Does the LMR38025FSQDRRRQ1 support forced PWM (FPWM) mode, and how is it enabled?
Yes, the LMR38025FSQDRRRQ1 supports forced PWM mode to maintain constant switching frequency and minimize output voltage ripple at light loads. FPWM is enabled by selecting the "FS" variant (as in LMR38025FSQDRRRQ1) - no external pin configuration is required. The device automatically operates in FPWM when enabled, unlike the base PFM-only variant.
What package type and thermal characteristics does the LMR38025FSQDRRRQ1 use?
The LMR38025FSQDRRRQ1 uses a 12-pin WSON (DRR) package with 3mm × 3mm footprint and wettable flanks. Its thermal metrics include RθJA = 54.3°C/W (standard JEDEC board), RθJC(bot) = 4.7°C/W, and RθJB = 21.7°C/W - confirming efficient heat transfer through the exposed thermal pad to the PCB ground plane.
How does the LMR38025FSQDRRRQ1 handle startup into a prebiased output?
LMR38025FSQDRRRQ1 supports prebiased output startup by disabling reverse current flow during soft-start. When VOUT is already charged, the low-side FET remains off until the output voltage ramps up, preventing destructive reverse conduction - a critical feature for redundant or hot-plug power domains in automotive ECUs.
Is the LMR38025FSQDRRRQ1 qualified for automotive safety applications, and what documentation is available?
Yes, the LMR38025FSQDRRRQ1 is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (–40°C to +150°C TJ) and functionally safety-capable. Texas Instruments provides dedicated functional safety documentation including FIT rate calculations, failure mode effects analysis (FMEA), and diagnostic coverage reports - all accessible via the official product folder for ISO 26262 system development.
