Product details
Overview
LM536015QDSXRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous step-down DC/DC converter delivering a fixed 5-V output at up to 1000 mA, operating from 3.55 V to 36 V input with transient tolerance to 42 V, 2.1-MHz fixed switching frequency, and 23-µA quiescent current - deployed in automotive camera power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LM536015QDSXRQ1 datasheet, LM536015QDSXRQ1 pinout, LM536015QDSXRQ1 application, or LM536015QDSXRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5-V fixed output, 1-A load capability, wettable-flank WSON-10 package, spread-spectrum option disable status, and RESET output with filtered delay release for system supervision.
Technical Context
The LM536015QDSXRQ1 implements peak current mode control with internal compensation, enabling stable regulation across wide VIN (3.55–36 V) and temperature (–40°C to 150°C junction) ranges while maintaining 2.1-MHz switching. Its architecture supports seamless PWM/PFM transitions and achieves 5-V output regulation down to VIN = 5.5 V.
It integrates a 3-V internal LDO (VCC), open-drain RESET with 4–8 ms activation delay and 24-µs glitch filtering, and a multifunction SYNC/MODE pin supporting forced PWM, AUTO mode with diode emulation, and external clock synchronization - all within a thermally enhanced 3-mm × 3-mm WSON package with exposed thermal pad.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0 V ±1.5% over full temperature and load range - ensures stable MCU/Sensor rail without external feedback divider. |
| Max Output Current | 1000 mA continuous - supports high-current automotive imaging sensors and SoCs without derating at 125°C ambient. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.55 V to 36 V, with 42-V/100-ms transient tolerance - eliminates need for upstream TVS or active surge clamping in 12-V/24-V systems. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.1 MHz ±10% - enables use of compact 1–2.2-µH inductors and avoids AM-band EMI interference. |
| Quiescent Current | 23 µA typical at no load - sustains low-power sleep modes in always-on ADAS modules without battery drain. |
| Shutdown Current | 1.8 µA at EN = low - meets automotive OEM requirements for <2-µA off-state leakage in parked-mode systems. |
| RESET Output | Open-drain with 4–8 ms delay, 92–97% UVLO and 105–110% OV thresholds - replaces discrete supervisor IC in camera ECU designs. |
Pinout & Package
LM536015QDSXRQ1 uses a 10-pin WSON (DSX) package, 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm body size, with wettable flanks and exposed thermal pad (DAP) requiring direct connection to PCB ground plane for thermal performance (RθJA = 46.2°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SW | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt switching current - requires short, low-inductance layout to minimize EMI. |
| 2 BOOT | High-side gate driver supply | Requires 100-nF ceramic capacitor between BOOT and SW to sustain gate drive during high-side conduction. |
| 3 VCC | Internal 3-V regulator output | Powers internal control circuitry; requires 1.0-µF bypass capacitor to AGND (fixed-output variant). |
| 4 FB | Feedback input (5-V fixed) | Internally connected to 5-V output; no external divider needed - simplifies BOM and layout for fixed-voltage use. |
| 5 AGND | Analog ground reference | Ground reference for FB, EN, and internal error amplifier - must be star-connected to minimize noise coupling. |
| 6 RESET | Open-drain reset indicator | Asserts low on fault or EN deactivation; requires external pull-up resistor to system rail for logic-level signaling. |
| 7 EN | Enable control input | Active-high; 1.7–2.0 V threshold with 0.4–0.55 V hysteresis - supports direct connection to microcontroller GPIO or ignition-sense circuit. |
| 8 VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 3.55–36 V; requires local 10-µF ceramic + bulk capacitance near pin to suppress transients and ripple. |
| 9 SYNC/MODE | Mode selection & sync input | Tied low for AUTO mode (PFM at light load); tied high for forced PWM; accepts 1.9–2.3 MHz external clock for synchronization. |
| 10 GND | Power ground | Primary return path for VIN, SW, and internal power stages - must be low-impedance and thermally coupled to DAP. |
| DAP | Exposed thermal pad | Electrically isolated ground connection; soldered to PCB ground plane to achieve RθJC(bot) = 4.1°C/W thermal resistance. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current supported by the LM536015QDSXRQ1?
The LM536015QDSXRQ1 supports a maximum continuous output current of 1000 mA at ambient temperatures up to 125°C, with thermal derating above that point. This rating is validated across the full AEC-Q100 Grade 1 temperature range (–40°C to 125°C ambient) and aligns with the LM53601-Q1 device specification. The LM536015QDSXRQ1 maintains regulation and stability under full load with proper PCB thermal design using the exposed DAP pad.
Does the LM536015QDSXRQ1 require external compensation components?
No, the LM536015QDSXRQ1 features fully internal compensation, eliminating the need for external RC networks or type-II/type-III compensators. This simplifies design, reduces BOM count, and improves layout robustness - especially critical in automotive applications where board space and reliability are constrained. All loop stability is ensured across input voltage, load, and temperature ranges per the datasheet.
How does the RESET output function on the LM536015QDSXRQ1?
The LM536015QDSXRQ1 provides an open-drain RESET output with built-in 24-µs glitch filtering and 4–8 ms delay before assertion. It asserts low when output voltage falls below 92–97% of nominal (UVLO) or rises above 105–110% (OVLO), and also pulls low when EN is de-asserted. This integrated function replaces external reset supervisors in automotive camera and ADAS modules, reducing component count and board area.
Is spread spectrum enabled on the LM536015QDSXRQ1 by default?
No, the LM536015QDSXRQ1 is the "no spread spectrum" variant (as indicated by '5' in position 7 of the part number and confirmed in the Device Comparison table). Spread spectrum is disabled unless a specific spread-spectrum-enabled variant like LM53601LQDSXRQ1 is selected. This configuration ensures deterministic 2.1-MHz switching for EMI-sensitive applications where frequency jitter is undesirable.
What package type and thermal characteristics apply to the LM536015QDSXRQ1?
The LM536015QDSXRQ1 uses a 10-pin WSON (DSX) package measuring 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm with wettable flanks and an exposed thermal pad (DAP). Its thermal metrics include RθJA = 46.2°C/W and RθJC(bot) = 4.1°C/W when the DAP is soldered to a 1-in² copper pad on the PCB. This construction enables reliable operation up to 150°C junction temperature in automotive under-hood environments.
