Product details
Overview
LP87523JRNFRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive buck converter IC with four integrated MOSFETs, configured as one 2-phase and two 1-phase DC/DC outputs delivering up to 8 A total (4 A per 2-phase rail, 2 A per 1-phase rail), 2 MHz switching frequency, and I²C programmability for voltage, sequencing, and protection. It powers infotainment SoCs and camera sensor rails in vehicles.
For engineers reviewing the LP87523JRNFRQ1 datasheet, LP87523JRNFRQ1 pinout, LP87523JRNFRQ1 application, or LP87523JRNFRQ1 equivalent, key selection factors include its 2+1+1 phase configuration flexibility, remote differential sensing for ±2% output accuracy, programmable GPIO-controlled power sequencing, and automotive-grade thermal warning/shutdown at 125°C/150°C.
Technical Context
The LP87523JRNFRQ1 implements automatic PWM-to-PFM mode transition at 200 mA and PFM-to-PWM at 600 mA per rail, with phase adding (1→2→3→4 A thresholds) and shedding to maintain >80% efficiency from 1 mA to full load. Its four independent buck cores support configurable interleaving and synchronized clocking via internal PLL or external CLKIN (1–24 MHz).
It integrates high-side (29–65 mΩ) and low-side (17–35 mΩ) FETs per phase, supports load-current measurement without external sense resistors (20 mA LSB, <10% error), and provides programmable slew-rate control (0.47–10 mV/µs) to limit in-rush current during startup and voltage changes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.8 V to 5.5 V - supports direct connection to automotive battery (cold-crank tolerant down to 2.8 V) |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.6 V to 3.36 V in 5–20 mV steps - covers core voltages for ADAS processors and image sensors |
| Max Output Current | 8 A total: 4 A on 2-phase rail + 2 A × 2 on 1-phase rails - enables single-chip power for multi-rail camera modules |
| Switching Frequency | 1.8–2.2 MHz (typ. 2 MHz) - allows use of compact 0.47 µH inductors and reduces EMI in sensitive RF bands |
| I²C Interface Speed | Up to 3.4 MHz (High-Speed mode) - enables fast register writes for dynamic voltage scaling in real time |
| Thermal Protection | Warning at 115–147°C (configurable), shutdown at 140–160°C - ensures safe operation under sustained high ambient conditions |

Pinout & Package
VQFN-HR (RNF) 26-pin package, 4.5 mm × 4.0 mm body, 0.4 mm pitch, with exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation in automotive under-hood environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW_B0–SW_B3 | Buck switch node (x4) | Connects to external inductor; requires low-inductance layout to minimize switching losses and EMI |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multi-rail automotive buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LP87522JRNFRQ1 | One 3-phase + one 1-phase output (9 A + 4 A max), no 2+1+1 configuration | Better suited for SoCs requiring three tightly coupled rails (e.g., CPU + GPU + cache), less optimal for camera dual-sensor asymmetry | Select when primary load demands >4 A on a single rail and phase balancing across three phases is critical |
| LP87524JRNFRQ1 | Four independent 1-phase outputs (4 × 4 A), no multi-phase current sharing | Lacks interleaving benefits - higher output ripple and reduced efficiency above 2 A per rail vs. 2-phase operation | Choose for designs needing fully isolated, independently controlled rails (e.g., mixed-signal test equipment), not automotive SoC power |
Compared with LP87522JRNFRQ1 and LP87524JRNFRQ1, the LP87523JRNFRQ1 uniquely balances high-current capability (4 A) on one rail with independent low-current (2 A) rails-enabling optimal efficiency and layout simplicity for camera and radar modules where rail current profiles are inherently asymmetric.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current configuration supported by the LP87523JRNFRQ1?
The LP87523JRNFRQ1 supports one 2-phase output delivering up to 4 A and two independent 1-phase outputs each delivering up to 2 A, for a total of 8 A. This configuration is fixed per device variant and cannot be reconfigured as 4-phase or 3+1-phase - only LP87521-Q1 and LP87522-Q1 support those topologies. The LP87523JRNFRQ1's 2+1+1 structure is optimized for asymmetric loads like camera sensor + ISP combinations.
Does the LP87523JRNFRQ1 support external clock synchronization?
Yes, the LP87523JRNFRQ1 accepts an external clock signal on the CLKIN pin (Pin 3) within 1–24 MHz, enabling synchronization to system master clocks to reduce beat-frequency EMI. When enabled, the internal PLL locks to the external reference with ±30% frequency tolerance and 300 ps peak-to-peak jitter. The LP87523JRNFRQ1 automatically detects clock loss within 1.8 µs and reverts to internal RC oscillator operation.
How does the LP87523JRNFRQ1 handle thermal protection in automotive environments?
The LP87523JRNFRQ1 features dual-level thermal management: a programmable die temperature warning (115–147°C) triggers an interrupt via nINT, while hard thermal shutdown activates at 140–160°C. Both thresholds include 20°C hysteresis to prevent oscillation. These functions operate independently of I²C communication, ensuring fail-safe behavior even during firmware hangs - a requirement for AEC-Q100 Grade 1 compliance.
Can the LP87523JRNFRQ1 measure load current without external sense resistors?
Yes, the LP87523JRNFRQ1 integrates on-die current sensing with 20 mA LSB resolution and <10% accuracy above 1 A. It measures per-phase current using high-side FET RDS(on) and delta-V detection, eliminating the need for external sense resistors and associated board space and power loss. Measurement occurs in <45 µs in PFM mode and 4 µs in PWM mode, supporting real-time telemetry in diagnostic firmware.
What packaging and thermal performance does the LP87523JRNFRQ1 offer?
The LP87523JRNFRQ1 uses a 26-pin VQFN-HR (RNF) package measuring 4.5 mm × 4.0 mm with 0.4 mm pitch and an exposed thermal pad. Its junction-to-board thermal resistance (RθJB) is 4.7°C/W, enabling >3 W continuous power dissipation with standard 2-layer automotive PCBs. The package is qualified to AEC-Q100 and rated for –40°C to +125°C ambient operation.
