Product details
Overview
LM2936QMX-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 LM2936QMX-3.3/NOPB datasheet, LM2936QMX-3.3/NOPB pinout, LM2936QMX-3.3/NOPB application, or LM2936QMX-3.3/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include its −40°C to +125°C operating range, reverse-battery protection, −50-V transient immunity, 40-V max input rating, and strict 0.3–8 Ω ESR requirement for 22 µF COUT stability.
Technical Context
The LM2936QMX-3.3/NOPB uses 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–40 V input while sustaining <15 μA IQ in standby - critical for battery-retention applications.
Thermal shutdown activates at ~160°C junction temperature, and short-circuit current limiting caps output at 65–250 mA depending on conditions. Unlike CMOS-based LDOs, it does not require UVLO or soft-start circuitry and enters linear regulation when VIN exceeds VOUT + 1 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.300 V ±2% initial tolerance; ±3% over line/load/temperature ensures stable MCU core supply under cold-crank and load-dump conditions. |
| Quiescent Current | ≤15 μA at 100 μA load - enables >10-year battery life in vehicle intrusion sensors and telematics keep-alive circuits. |
| Input Voltage Range | 5.5 V to 40 V continuous operation - supports 12 V automotive systems including boosted start-stop and load-dump transients. |
| Dropout Voltage | 200 mV typical at 50 mA - allows regulation down to 3.5 V input, preserving functionality during cranking (6–8 V). |
| Reverse Battery Protection | Withstands −50 V input transients for 1 ms - eliminates need for external series diode in reverse-polarity fault scenarios. |
| Output Capacitor ESR | 0.3 Ω to 8 Ω required for 22 µF COUT - mandates careful capacitor selection (e.g., tantalum or aluminum polymer) to avoid oscillation. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at ~160°C junction temperature and auto-recovers after ~10°C cooldown - protects against sustained overload without latch-up. |
Pinout & Package
LM2936QMX-3.3/NOPB is packaged in a 3-pin TO-252 (NDP) surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad (6.10 mm × 6.58 mm), optimized for high-power dissipation in compact automotive PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN | Unregulated input | Accepts 5.5–40 V DC; must be decoupled with ≥100 nF ceramic if >3 inches from bulk filter - critical for noise rejection in CAN/LIN node supplies. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for input/output paths and thermal pad connection; requires low-impedance plane tie to minimize PSRR degradation. |
| OUT | Regulated output | Delivers 3.3 V to load; requires ≥22 µF output capacitor with 0.3–8 Ω ESR placed adjacent to pin - failure causes instability or oscillation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for −40°C to +125°C ambient operation - meets automotive electronics reliability requirements without derating. |
| Ultralow quiescent current | ≤15 μA at 100 μA load enables >10-year shelf life in battery-backed modules like tire pressure monitors. |
| Integrated reverse-battery protection | No external diode needed - reduces BOM count and forward-drop losses in 12 V systems with polarity-reversal risk. |
| −50 V transient immunity | Sustains 1 ms pulses per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2b - eliminates need for TVS clamping in basic load-dump protection schemes. |
| Thermal and short-circuit protection | Auto-recovering shutdown prevents permanent damage during wiring faults or solder shorts in production environments. |
Applications
| Body Control Module (BCM) | Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Receiver |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV73333PDBVR | CMOS-based, 350 mA output, 40 μA IQ, no reverse-battery protection, 5.5 V max input. | Higher current capability but unsuitable for reverse-polarity or >12 V automotive inputs. | Select only for non-automotive, low-voltage, higher-current applications where reverse protection is externally managed. |
| TPS7B6733QPWPRQ1 | AEC-Q100 Grade 1, 250 mA, 28 μA IQ, integrated enable/shutdown, 40 V max input, no reverse-battery protection. | Includes enable pin and higher output current, but lacks built-in reverse-polarity protection requiring external diode. | Prefer when system-level shutdown control is required and reverse-battery protection can be added externally. |
Compared with TLV73333PDBVR and TPS7B6733QPWPRQ1, the LM2936QMX-3.3/NOPB uniquely integrates reverse-battery protection and achieves lower quiescent current (≤15 μA), making it the only drop-in solution for legacy automotive modules requiring zero-additional-protection 12 V battery interfaces.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2936QMX-3.3/NOPB?
The LM2936QMX-3.3/NOPB has a maximum continuous operating input voltage of 40 V and survives −50 V reverse transients for 1 ms. It is not rated for 60 V operation - that specification applies only to the LM2936QHBM variant. Exceeding 40 V risks catastrophic failure due to safe-operating-area limitations in the internal PNP pass device.
Does LM2936QMX-3.3/NOPB include a shutdown pin?
No, the LM2936QMX-3.3/NOPB does not include a shutdown (SD) pin. That feature is exclusive to the LM2936QHBMA variant (5 V version with shutdown). The LM2936QMX-3.3/NOPB operates continuously when powered within its input range and has no enable/disable control function.
What output capacitor is required for stable operation of LM2936QMX-3.3/NOPB?
LM2936QMX-3.3/NOPB requires a minimum 22 µF output capacitor with an 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 with a series resistor (typically 500 mΩ–1 Ω) to emulate required ESR - direct use without ESR simulation causes instability.
Is LM2936QMX-3.3/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, LM2936QMX-3.3/NOPB is AEC-Q100 qualified for Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C ambient), with full test documentation covering thermal cycling, humidity testing, and vibration. It is explicitly designed for automotive body electronics, infotainment, and ADAS subsystems where long-term reliability under harsh environmental stress is mandatory.
What is the dropout voltage of LM2936QMX-3.3/NOPB at 50 mA load?
The dropout voltage of LM2936QMX-3.3/NOPB is typically 200 mV at 50 mA load and 25°C, with a maximum of 400 mV across temperature and process variation. This allows the device to maintain regulation down to VIN = 3.5 V - sufficient for operation during engine cranking when battery voltage dips to 6–8 V.
