3 Description

The LMR60460-Q1 is a 3V to 36V (42V transient),

6A, automotive-grade synchronous buck converter.

The LMR60460-Q1 is available in an ultra compact

2.5mm × 2mm QFN-9 package with wettable flanks,

that helps minimize inductance and achieve low EMI

performance to facilitate qualification of automotive

and other noise-sensitive designs.

All device variants are capable of output voltages

ranging from 1V to 20V in adjustable output

configuration. Each variant is also capable of

delivering a fixed output voltage by connecting the

output voltage node directly to the feedback pin.

The Device Comparison Table provides details on

the fixed output voltage options. The current-mode

control architecture with 30ns minimum on-time allows

high conversion ratios at high frequencies, easy loop

compensation, fast transient response, and excellent

load and line regulation.

Open drain power-good output facilitates power

sequencing requirements. The MODE/SYNC pin of

the LMR60460-Q1 allows the user to select between

forced pulse width modulation (FPWM), auto mode or

external synchronization mode of operation.

The LMR60460-Q1 is designed to offer reduced

output capacitance leading to compact PCB layout

and system cost savings. The LMR60460-Q1 is a

part of a family of pin-compatible devices ranging in

current levels from 0.6A to 6A.
