Product details
Overview
R2J20657BNP#G2 from Renesas Electronics is an integrated DrMOS power stage combining high-side and low-side MOS FETs with a matched gate driver in a single QFN40 package. It delivers up to 40 A average output current, supports >1 MHz switching, operates with VIN up to 20 V, and integrates thermal warning (115°C) and shutdown (150°C) for desktop/server VRMs.
For engineers reviewing the R2J20657BNP#G2 datasheet, R2J20657BNP#G2 pinout, R2J20657BNP#G2 application, or R2J20657BNP#G2 equivalent, key selection criteria include its Intel 6×6 DrMOS compliance, built-in bootstrap switch eliminating external SBD, tri-state PWM input enabling zero-current detection, and dual thermal protection architecture.
Technical Context
The R2J20657BNP#G2 implements a synchronous buck topology with tightly coupled high-side and low-side MOS FETs and driver on a single die substrate, minimizing parasitic inductance for high-frequency operation. Its UVLO thresholds (VH = 7.4 V, VL = 7.0 V) and supervisor circuitry (active above 4.3 V, shutdown below 3.8 V) govern 5 V regulator enablement and driver activation.
It features dual-mode control logic: continuous conduction mode when LSDBL# is low, and zero-current detection mode when PWM is mid-voltage or high-impedance. Thermal monitoring uses open-drain THWN (115°C warning) and internal latch-off THDN (150°C shutdown), with DISBL# pulled low during thermal fault to notify system controller.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 4.5 V to 16 V DC - defines compatible input bus voltages for desktop/server 12 V rail applications. |
| Average Output Current | 40 A max - enables high-current CPU/GPU core voltage regulation without external parallel stages. |
| Switching Frequency | Up to 1 MHz+ - supports compact magnetics and fast transient response in modern VRMs. |
| Thermal Warning Threshold | 115°C ±15°C - provides early overtemperature alert while maintaining full operation until shutdown. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | 150°C (latch-off) - protects device from destructive overheating with automatic DISBL# assertion. |
| VCIN Supply Range | 4.5–5.5 V or 8–22 V - allows flexible biasing via internal 5 V regulator or external supply. |
| PWM Input Logic | TTL-compatible (VH-PWM ≥ 4.1 V, VL-PWM ≤ 0.8 V) with tri-state detection - enables seamless interface with standard VRM controllers. |
Pinout & Package
Package: QFN40 (6 mm × 6 mm × 0.95 mm), thermally enhanced with three exposed die pads (High-side MOS Pad, Low-side MOS Pad, Driver Pad) requiring PCB soldering per datasheet note.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| LSDBL# (1) | Low-side gate disable control | Assert low to force discontinuous conduction mode; internally pulled up to Reg5V (160 kΩ). |
| Reg5V (2) | 5 V logic regulator output | Supplies 5 V ±0.25 V at up to 10 mA; requires ≥0.1 μF ceramic capacitor to CGND. |
| VCIN (3) | Driver supply input | Feeds UVLO and supervisor; 4.5–5.5 V or 8–22 V range determines regulator enable state. |
| BOOT (4) | Bootstrap voltage node | Internally switched +5 V source for high-side gate drive; no external SBD required. |
| CGND (5, 37, Pad) | Control ground reference | Must be externally connected to PGND; separates control and power return paths. |
| GH (6) | High-side gate monitor | Provides access to high-side gate signal for probing or feedback; not a drive output. |
| VIN (8–14, Pad) | Main power input | Connects to 12 V input rail; multiple pins and pad ensure low-impedance path for high di/dt. |
| VSWH (7, 15, 29–35, Pad) | Switch node output | Phase node connecting high-side drain and low-side drain; requires low-inductance layout. |
| PGND (16–28) | Power ground return | Multiple pins and large pad minimize power loop inductance and thermal resistance. |
| GL (36) | Low-side gate monitor | Provides access to low-side gate signal; used for timing verification or diagnostics. |
| THWN (38) | Thermal warning indicator | Open-drain output active low at >115°C; requires external pull-up resistor (e.g., 51 kΩ). |
| DISBL# (39) | Global disable input | Drives GL/GH low when asserted; pulled low internally during thermal shutdown. |
| PWM (40) | PWM logic input | Accepts 5 V TTL signals; mid-voltage or high-Z triggers zero-current detection mode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DrMOS power stage applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IR35201MTRPBF | 6×6 mm QFN, 40 A rating, but lacks integrated bootstrap switch and requires external SBD. | Same Intel 6×6 footprint; higher external component count increases layout sensitivity. | Choose if legacy design already includes external bootstrap diode and controller supports IR's specific timing. |
| ISL99227BIRZ-T | 40 A rating, 6×6 mm QFN, includes bootstrap switch, but thermal warning threshold is 125°C (vs. 115°C). | Compatible pinout and control interface; slightly higher thermal warning point reduces early alert margin. | Prefer for designs where tighter thermal headroom is acceptable and Renesas ecosystem integration is not required. |
Compared with IR35201MTRPBF and ISL99227BIRZ-T, the R2J20657BNP#G2 offers earlier thermal warning (115°C), eliminates external SBD via integrated bootstrap switch, and provides native tri-state PWM support for zero-current detection-reducing system-level complexity and improving light-load efficiency.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating temperature for R2J20657BNP#G2 before thermal shutdown activates?
The R2J20657BNP#G2 initiates thermal shutdown at a junction temperature of 150°C, with latch-off behavior that holds GL and GH low until VCIN drops below UVLO threshold. This ensures robust protection against sustained overtemperature conditions. The R2J20657BNP#G2 also provides thermal warning at 115°C via the open-drain THWN pin, allowing system-level mitigation before shutdown occurs.
Does R2J20657BNP#G2 require an external bootstrap diode?
No, the R2J20657BNP#G2 integrates a bootstrap switch that supplies +5 V to the BOOT pin internally, eliminating the need for an external Schottky diode. This simplifies layout, reduces BOM cost, and improves reliability by removing a common failure point. The R2J20657BNP#G2 datasheet explicitly states this feature in both the description and features sections.
How does the LSDBL# pin affect R2J20657BNP#G2 operation in discontinuous conduction mode?
When LSDBL# is driven low, the R2J20657BNP#G2 disables the low-side gate driver, forcing discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). This reduces light-load losses and improves efficiency at partial loads. The R2J20657BNP#G2 datasheet confirms LSDBL# is internally pulled up to Reg5V (160 kΩ), so leaving it open defaults to continuous conduction mode.
What are the valid voltage ranges for VCIN on R2J20657BNP#G2?
The R2J20657BNP#G2 supports two VCIN operating ranges: 4.5–5.5 V (when connected to Reg5V for internal regulator use) or 8–22 V (for direct high-voltage biasing). The UVLO threshold is 7.4 V (turn-on) and 7.0 V (turn-off), ensuring stable regulator enablement. These values are specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table of the R2J20657BNP#G2 datasheet.
Can R2J20657BNP#G2 operate with a 3.3 V PWM input signal?
No, the R2J20657BNP#G2 requires a 5 V TTL-level PWM input: minimum high-level voltage is 4.1 V and maximum low-level voltage is 0.8 V. A 3.3 V signal falls outside the valid input range and may cause unreliable switching or undefined behavior. The R2J20657BNP#G2 datasheet specifies these thresholds in the Electrical Characteristics table under "PWM input high level" and "PWM input low level."
