The LM614xxT-Q1 buck converters are automotive-focused regulators providing adjustable output voltage, which can be set from 1V to 95% of expected input voltage. These regulators operate under a wide input voltage range of 3V to 36V and have transient tolerance up to 42V.

The family is designed for low EMI. The device incorporates pin selectable spread spectrum, and an adjustable SW node rise time. Dual Random Spread Spectrum (DRSS) frequency hopping is set to ±4% (typical), drastically reducing peak emissions through a combination of triangular and pseudorandom modulation, and includes advanced techniques to reduce output voltage ripple caused by spread spectrum modulation.

An open-drain RESET output, with filtering and delayed release, gives a true indication of system status. In auto mode, the device automatically transitions between fixed frequency Pulse Width Modulation (FPWM) and Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) modes of operation, allowing an unloaded current consumption of only 5µA (typical). Electrical characteristics are specified over a junction temperature range of –40°C to +150°C.
