Product details
Overview
LMR51406YDBVR from Texas Instruments is a synchronous buck DC/DC converter delivering 0.6A output current with 1.1MHz fixed switching frequency, 4V–42V input range, and adjustable output voltage via feedback resistor divider. It integrates high- and low-side MOSFETs, internal compensation, and operates in PFM mode for light-load efficiency in industrial power conditioning applications.
For engineers reviewing the LMR51406YDBVR datasheet, LMR51406YDBVR pinout, LMR51406YDBVR application, or LMR51406YDBVR equivalent, key selection factors include its 1.1MHz PFM operation, 80ns minimum on-time, ±1.5% reference tolerance, thermal shutdown at 165°C, and SOT-23-6 package suitability for space-constrained PLC and smart meter designs.
Technical Context
The LMR51406YDBVR employs fixed-frequency peak-current mode control with internal slope compensation and an integrated 0.8V reference. Its PFM operation reduces switching losses at light loads while maintaining regulation across –40°C to +150°C junction temperature.
It features cycle-by-cycle current limiting, hiccup-mode short-circuit protection triggered at FB < 0.32V, and precision enable with 1.227V turn-on threshold. Frequency foldback extends duty cycle capability below 4V input by reducing switching frequency down to ~200kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 42V - supports wide industrial unregulated rails including 24V and 36V systems |
| Output Current | 0.6A continuous - sufficient for auxiliary rails in PLC I/O modules and smart meter MCU cores |
| Switching Frequency | 1.1MHz (±13%) - enables compact 1µH–2.2µH inductors and reduces output ripple vs. 400kHz variants |
| Reference Voltage | 0.8V ±1.5% - sets tight output regulation accuracy over temperature and line/load conditions |
| Min On-Time | 80ns - allows high step-down ratios (e.g., 24V→3.3V) without frequency foldback at full load |
| Junction Temp Range | –40°C to +150°C - rated for under-hood, factory-floor, and enclosed industrial environments |
| Quiescent Current | 26.5–40µA (PFM) - enables >90% efficiency at 1mA load in always-on monitoring circuits |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-6 (DBV) package: 2.90mm × 2.80mm footprint, thermally enhanced with exposed pad (not electrically connected), suitable for reflow assembly and high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CB | Bootstrap capacitor connection | Connects 100nF X7R ceramic to SW; supplies gate drive for integrated high-side MOSFET |
| GND | Power ground | Common return for internal low-side FET, CIN, COUT; requires shortest possible trace to CIN |
| FB | Feedback input | Resistor divider node setting VOUT = 0.8V × (1 + RFBT/RFBB); must not be shorted to GND |
| EN | Precision enable | Active-high logic input (1.227V typical turn-on); supports system UVLO via external resistor divider |
| VIN | Input supply | Connects to 4–42V source and local 4.7µF–10µF input capacitor; powers internal bias LDO |
| SW | Switching node | Drives external power inductor; connects internally to drain of low-side FET and source of high-side FET |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated synchronous rectification | Eliminates external Schottky diode; improves full-load efficiency by ~5% vs. asynchronous alternatives |
| Internal compensation | Reduces BOM count to only 4 external components (CIN, COUT, L, FB divider) for stable operation |
| Monotonic start-up with prebiased output | Prevents reverse current flow into powered outputs during hot-plug or brownout recovery |
| Hiccup-mode short-circuit protection | Shuts down for 150ms after 256 consecutive current-limit cycles; limits average power dissipation to <100mW |
| Input transient protection to 50V | Withstands 50V/10ns transients per JEDEC JESD22-A114 - no external TVS required for most 24V industrial surges |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage transient the LMR51406YDBVR can withstand?
The LMR51406YDBVR is rated for input transients up to 50V for durations less than 10ns, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This capability allows direct connection to 24V industrial buses without external TVS diodes in most surge environments defined by IEC 61000-4-4 and ISO 16750-2 standards. The device's internal circuitry clamps these events without latch-up or degradation, provided the average input remains within 4V–42V operating range.
Does the LMR51406YDBVR require external compensation components?
No, the LMR51406YDBVR features fully internal compensation, eliminating the need for external Type-II or Type-III compensation networks. This design reduces total BOM count to just four essential external components: input capacitor (CIN), output capacitor (COUT), power inductor (L), and FB resistor divider. Internal compensation ensures stable loop response across all recommended output capacitors-including low-ESR ceramics-and simplifies layout by removing sensitive compensation trace routing.
How does the LMR51406YDBVR handle short-circuit conditions?
The LMR51406YDBVR responds to sustained short-circuits using hiccup-mode protection: after detecting 256 consecutive current-limit cycles (triggered when FB voltage drops below 0.32V), it shuts down for 150ms before attempting restart. This limits average power dissipation to under 100mW during fault, preventing thermal runaway. Cycle-by-cycle current limiting remains active during normal operation, with high-side peak limit at 0.8–1.4A and low-side valley limit at 0.62–0.98A, ensuring robust overload handling without external sensing.
Can the LMR51406YDBVR be used with a prebiased output?
Yes, the LMR51406YDBVR supports monotonic start-up into a prebiased output, meaning it will not force reverse current into an already-powered rail during power-up or recovery from brownout. This behavior is enabled by internal circuitry that monitors FB voltage during soft-start and disables high-side switching until the output reaches regulation. It is critical for systems with multiple power domains or hot-swap capability where downstream circuitry may retain charge when main input is cycled.
What is the purpose of the CB pin on the LMR51406YDBVR?
The CB (bootstrap capacitor) pin on the LMR51406YDBVR provides the gate drive voltage for the integrated high-side N-channel MOSFET. A 100nF X7R ceramic capacitor must be placed between CB and SW pins; during low-side conduction, this capacitor charges from the internal LDO and then supplies boosted voltage to turn on the high-side switch. Proper CB capacitor selection and placement-using short, low-inductance traces-is essential for reliable high-side drive and overall converter efficiency, especially at 1.1MHz switching frequency.
