Product details

42 V synchronous buck controller in a 5.5x3.5 mm QFN

The LM25149RGYR: Switching frequency is programmable from 100 kHz to 2.2 MHz, with a clock-sync input for spreading the EMI spectrum or locking to a system clock. The 100% duty-cycle capability means the output can stay in regulation through input dips down to the output voltage plus headroom.

Junction temperature and control feature set

Rated for a junction temperature range of -40°C to 150°C, this controller can sit on a hot power-stage PCB in an engine bay or an industrial enclosure without derating. The 150°C TJ ceiling is the absolute limit — the actual operating ambient depends on the thermal impedance of the 24-VQFN (5.5x3.5 mm) pad to the board copper. Control features include current limit, enable, frequency control, power-good flag, programmable soft-start, and a ramp compensation pin. The power-good output is open-drain — it pulls low when the output is outside regulation, which simplifies sequencing with downstream POL converters.

Sourcing and lifecycle reality

Texas Instruments lists the LM25149RGYR as active product. The package is supplied in Tape & Reel or Cut Tape options — the 24-VFQFN with exposed pad requires a solder-paste stencil aperture that covers the centre thermal pad for proper solder-joint reliability under the 150°C junction limit.

Frequently asked questions

What package does the LM25149RGYR come in?

It is supplied in a 24-VFQFN exposed-pad package (supplier device package 24-VQFN, 5.5x3.5 mm). The exposed pad must be soldered to a copper plane for thermal management given the 150°C junction rating.

How does the LM25149RGYR compare to the LM25117PMHX/NOPB?

Both are synchronous buck controllers from TI, but the LM25149RGYR adds clock synchronization capability and extends the junction temperature range to 150°C versus 125°C for the LM25117PMHX/NOPB. The LM25117 lacks the clock-sync pin, so it cannot be phase-locked to a system clock for EMI reduction. The package and pinout differ — a direct drop-in replacement is not possible without a board layout change.
