Product details
Overview
LM2936QMP-3.3/NOPB from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified ultralow-quiescent-current LDO voltage regulator delivering a fixed 3.3 V output at up to 50 mA, with ≤15 μA quiescent current at 100 μA load, ±2% initial output tolerance, and 200 mV typical dropout at full load. It serves as the primary power supply for always-on automotive modules such as body control units and remote keyless entry receivers.
For engineers reviewing the LM2936QMP-3.3/NOPB datasheet, LM2936QMP-3.3/NOPB pinout, LM2936QMP-3.3/NOPB application, or LM2936QMP-3.3/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include automotive-grade thermal robustness (−40°C to +125°C), reverse-battery protection, −50-V transient survival, and strict output capacitor ESR requirements (0.3–8 Ω) for stability in low-power battery systems.
Technical Context
The LM2936QMP-3.3/NOPB employs a PNP pass transistor architecture enabling low dropout and inherent reverse-polarity protection without external components. Its internal bandgap reference and error amplifier maintain regulation across 5.5 V to 40 V input while sustaining sub-15 μA quiescent current under light loads - critical for extended vehicle battery standby life.
Thermal shutdown activates at ~160°C junction temperature, and short-circuit current limiting caps output at 65–250 mA depending on conditions. Unlike variants with shutdown pins, the LM2936QMP-3.3/NOPB has no SD pin and operates continuously when powered within its absolute maximum ratings.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±2% initial tolerance; ensures accurate biasing of 3.3-V microcontrollers and CAN transceivers without external feedback. |
| Quiescent Current | ≤15 μA at 100 μA load; enables >10-year battery hold-up in automotive telematics and alarm systems. |
| Input Voltage Range | 5.5 V to 40 V operating; supports direct connection to automotive battery rail including cold-crank (5.5 V) and load-dump (40 V) events. |
| Dropout Voltage | 200 mV typical at 50 mA; allows stable 3.3-V output even when battery drops to 3.5 V during cranking. |
| Output Tolerance | ±3% over line, load, and temperature (−40°C to +125°C); guarantees functional operation across full automotive ambient range. |
| Transient Protection | Withstands −50-V reverse-battery transients; eliminates need for external blocking diode in vehicle harnesses. |
| Stability Requirement | Requires 22 µF COUT with 0.3–8 Ω ESR; mandates careful capacitor selection (e.g., tantalum or aluminum polymer) for noise-sensitive sensors. |
Pinout & Package
LM2936QMP-3.3/NOPB is housed in a 3-pin TO-252 (NDP) surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad. The package measures 6.10 mm × 6.58 mm and features low thermal resistance (RθJA = 50.5°C/W) for passive heatsinking in constrained automotive PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pin 1) | Unregulated input | Accepts 5.5–40 V DC; must be decoupled with ≥100 nF ceramic capacitor if located >3 inches from bulk filter. |
| GND (Pin 2 & Tab) | Ground reference and thermal path | Tab is electrically and thermally connected to GND; requires soldered thermal pad area for reliable 50 mA operation at high ambient. |
| OUT (Pin 3) | Regulated output | Delivers 3.3 V; requires ≥22 µF output capacitor with 0.3–8 Ω ESR placed adjacent to pin for loop stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for −40°C to +125°C ambient operation - meets automotive electronics reliability standards for engine bay and cabin modules. |
| Ultralow quiescent current | ≤15 μA at 100 μA load enables multi-year battery life in always-on vehicle security and tire pressure monitoring systems. |
| Reverse-battery protection | No external diode required; survives −15 V reverse polarity input without damage or output leakage - reduces BOM count and board space. |
| −50-V input transient survival | Withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 and Pulse 4a transients without latch-up or degradation - critical for 12-V vehicle electrical systems. |
| Integrated thermal shutdown | Auto-recovers after junction cools ~10°C; prevents permanent failure during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS76333QDBVRQ1 | 300 mV dropout at 50 mA; 17 μA IQ; SOT-23-5 package with EN pin. | Requires external enable control; higher dropout limits use in low-input-voltage cranking scenarios. | Select when system-level enable sequencing is needed and board space permits SOT-23 footprint. |
| NCP1117ST33T3G | 1.2 V dropout at 800 mA; 6 mA IQ; TO-220/TO-263 package; not AEC-Q100 qualified. | Lacks automotive qualification, reverse-battery protection, and transient immunity - unsuitable for safety-critical vehicle systems. | Consider only for non-automotive industrial applications where cost outweighs qualification and protection requirements. |
Compared with TPS76333QDBVRQ1 and NCP1117ST33T3G, the LM2936QMP-3.3/NOPB uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, −50-V transient survival, and ≤15 μA quiescent current in a thermally efficient TO-252 package - making it the only drop-in solution for automotive always-on power rails requiring long-term battery hold-up and robustness.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the LM2936QMP-3.3/NOPB can withstand without damage?
The LM2936QMP-3.3/NOPB has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 60 V for survival, but its recommended operating input voltage is limited to 40 V. It is explicitly rated to survive −50-V reverse-battery transients and 60-V positive transients per ISO 7637-2, though continuous operation above 40 V is not supported due to safe operating area constraints of the internal PNP pass device. Always refer to the LM2936QMP-3.3/NOPB datasheet Section 6.1 for stress limits.
Does the LM2936QMP-3.3/NOPB include a shutdown pin?
No, the LM2936QMP-3.3/NOPB does not include a shutdown (SD) pin. Shutdown functionality is only available on the LM2936QHBMA variant (5-V version with 8-pin SOIC). The LM2936QMP-3.3/NOPB is a 3-pin TO-252 device with IN, GND, and OUT terminals only - it operates continuously whenever valid input voltage is applied within its operating range.
What output capacitor is required for stable operation of the LM2936QMP-3.3/NOPB?
The LM2936QMP-3.3/NOPB requires a minimum 22 µF output capacitor with an equivalent series resistance (ESR) between 0.3 Ω and 8 Ω, rated for the full −40°C to +125°C operating temperature range. Ceramic capacitors may be used only if a series resistor (typically 500 mΩ to 1 Ω) is added to meet the ESR requirement. This specification is mandatory for loop stability and is documented in Section 8.2.2.1 of the LM2936QMP-3.3/NOPB datasheet.
Is the LM2936QMP-3.3/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the LM2936QMP-3.3/NOPB is AEC-Q100 qualified for Automotive Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C ambient operating temperature). It meets all stress test requirements including HTOL, TC, UHAST, and ESD per JESD22, and is intended for use in body electronics, telematics, and other non-safety-critical automotive systems. Full qualification data is included in the LM2936QMP-3.3/NOPB official TI documentation.
How does the thermal performance of the LM2936QMP-3.3/NOPB compare across packages?
The LM2936QMP-3.3/NOPB uses the TO-252 (NDP) package, which offers RθJA = 50.5°C/W - significantly lower than SOIC (111.4°C/W) or VSSOP (173.4°C/W) variants. Its exposed thermal tab must be soldered to a dedicated GND copper pour to achieve this rating. At 50 mA load and 85°C ambient, junction temperature remains below 125°C with ≥1 cm² of 2-oz copper, making it suitable for compact automotive modules without forced airflow.
