Product details
Overview
LM536023QPWPRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous buck converter delivering up to 2 A at 3.3 V or 5 V from a 3.5–36 V input, featuring 2.1 MHz fixed switching frequency, ±2% output voltage tolerance, and integrated reset with 2–4 ms assertion delay. It operates in navigation/GPS and instrument cluster power rails where transient immunity to 42 V and junction temperature range of –40°C to 150°C are critical.
For engineers reviewing the LM536023QPWPRQ1 datasheet, LM536023QPWPRQ1 pinout, LM536023QPWPRQ1 application, or LM536023QPWPRQ1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 2 A current rating (vs. 3 A LM53603-Q1), HTSSOP-16 thermal performance (RθJA = 42.5°C/W), FPWM mode control, and built-in loop compensation eliminating external feedback dividers for fixed-output variants.
Technical Context
The LM536023QPWPRQ1 implements current-mode control with automatic PWM/PFM transition and user-selectable forced PWM (FPWM) mode, enabling stable regulation across light-to-heavy loads while maintaining 2.1 MHz operation under nominal conditions. Its valley-current limiting architecture protects against overloads and short circuits via programmable low-side switch current threshold (2.0–2.8 A).
It integrates a 3.15 V internal VCC regulator, BIAS pin for output-voltage-referenced biasing, and open-drain RESET with glitch filtering (12–45 µs) and 2–4 ms activation delay-ensuring accurate power-good signaling without external supervision. The device supports external synchronization (1.9–2.3 MHz) and withstands 42 V transients ≤500 ms at 0.01% duty cycle.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 2 A maximum continuous load - defines usable power envelope for compact automotive subsystems like HUD display logic rails. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5 V to 36 V, with 42 V transient tolerance ≤500 ms - eliminates need for upstream TVS clamping in 12 V/24 V vehicle architectures. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.1 MHz fixed (1.85–2.35 MHz over temp/vin) - enables use of small, low-profile inductors (e.g., 1–2.2 µH) and reduces EMI filter size. |
| Output Voltage Options | Fixed 3.3 V or 5 V (no external divider required); ADJ option supports 3.3–6 V - simplifies BOM and layout for standard logic supply domains. |
| Quiescent Current | 24 µA at no load (typical) - sustains >10-year battery standby life in always-on modules such as telematics wake-up circuitry. |
| Reset Accuracy | 94.5–96.5% falling threshold relative to actual VOUT - provides tighter system-level power-good margin than discrete supervisors. |
| Thermal Rating | Junction temperature range –40°C to +150°C - qualified for under-hood placement near ECUs and ADAS sensor hubs. |
Pinout & Package
LM536023QPWPRQ1 uses a thermally enhanced 16-pin HTSSOP package (5.00 mm × 4.40 mm × 1.00 mm) with exposed die paddle (EP) for PCB-level heat sinking and noise reduction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (1,2) | Switch node | Connects directly to inductor; pins 1 & 2 must be shorted on PCB to minimize parasitic inductance in high-di/dt path. |
| CBOOT (3) | Bootstrap supply | Requires 470 nF ceramic capacitor to SW; enables high-side NMOS gate drive above VIN during each switching cycle. |
| VCC (4) | Internal regulator output | 3.15 V supply for control circuitry; decoupled with 3.3 µF X7R capacitor to AGND - not for external loading. |
| BIAS (5) | Bias reference input | Connected to regulated output (e.g., VOUT); powers internal LDO - improves efficiency by reducing VCC dropout losses. |
| SYNC (6) | Frequency sync input | Accepts external clock (1.9–2.3 MHz); when unused, must be grounded - prevents EMI beating with other system clocks. |
| FPWM (7) | Forced PWM mode control | High = fixed-frequency PWM; Low = auto PFM/PWM transition - used to eliminate audible noise or ensure deterministic timing. |
| RESET (8) | Open-drain power-good flag | Asserts high after 2–4 ms delay when VOUT reaches 94.5–96.5% of setpoint; requires external pull-up resistor. |
| FB (9) | Feedback input | Direct connection to 3.3 V/5 V output (no divider); for ADJ version, connects to resistor divider tap - sets regulation point. |
| AGND (10) | Analog ground reference | Reference for FB, EN, FPWM, SYNC; must tie to EP and PGND at single-point star ground to avoid noise coupling. |
| EN (11) | Enable input | Logic-high ≥2 V enables regulator; ≤0.8 V disables - supports direct connection to microcontroller GPIO or ignition-sensed rail. |
| VIN (12,13) | Main input supply | 3.5–36 V input; pins 12 & 13 must be shorted on PCB and bypassed with low-ESR ceramic capacitors near package. |
| N/C (14) | No connect | Internally unconnected - leave floating or ground per layout best practice; no electrical function. |
| PGND (15,16) | Power ground return | Low-side MOSFET source return; ties to AGND and system ground plane; pins 15 & 16 must be shorted on PCB. |
| EP (17) | Exposed thermal pad | Must be soldered to solid copper thermal plane - accounts for >75% of total heat dissipation; critical for RθJC(bot) = 1.1°C/W. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated loop compensation | Eliminates 4–6 external RC components typically needed for type-II/type-III compensation - reduces layout area and tuning effort. |
| Automatic light-load PFM mode | Reduces no-load input current to 24 µA (typical), improving efficiency at <10 mA loads - essential for always-on automotive modules. |
| Built-in soft-start | 2 ms typical ramp time prevents output overshoot and inrush current spikes - avoids brownout in downstream logic during cold cranking. |
| Valley current limit protection | 2.0–2.8 A low-side current threshold triggers hiccup mode (5.5 ms off-time) during sustained overload - prevents thermal runaway. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for –40°C to +125°C ambient operation, HBM ±2500 V (I/O pins), CDM ±750 V - meets functional safety requirements for ASIL-B systems. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current rating of the LM536023QPWPRQ1?
The LM536023QPWPRQ1 is rated for a continuous output current of 2 A. This value is validated across the full –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature range and accounts for thermal derating under worst-case PCB layout and airflow conditions. Peak current capability reaches 2.8 A (valley limit) before hiccup-mode protection activates. The LM536023QPWPRQ1 shares identical thermal metrics and package with the 3 A LM53603-Q1 variant but uses lower-current MOSFETs internally.
Does the LM536023QPWPRQ1 require external feedback resistors for 3.3 V or 5 V output?
No, the LM536023QPWPRQ1 does not require external feedback resistors when configured for fixed 3.3 V or 5 V output. Its FB pin is internally connected to precision voltage dividers matching those output levels, achieving ±2% regulation accuracy without external components. External resistors are only needed for the ADJ version, where the output is set between 3.3 V and 6 V using a resistor divider network tied to FB and AGND.
How does the RESET function behave during input transients on the LM536023QPWPRQ1?
The LM536023QPWPRQ1 RESET output remains valid during input transients down to 1.5 V on VIN, even when EN is low. It incorporates a 12–45 µs glitch filter to reject sub-microsecond output voltage excursions and a 2–4 ms assertion delay after VOUT stabilizes within 94.5–96.5% of its nominal value. This dual-stage filtering prevents false resets during cold-crank dips or load-dump recovery, ensuring reliable power-good signaling in automotive environments.
Can the LM536023QPWPRQ1 operate with an input voltage below 3.5 V?
No, the LM536023QPWPRQ1 has a minimum operating input voltage of 3.5 V for proper regulation. Below this threshold, the device enters undervoltage lockout (UVLO) and shuts down. The datasheet specifies VIN-operate rising at 3.95 V (typical), with hysteresis of ~0.4 V. For 3.3 V output, the minimum input to maintain regulation is 3.9 V at full 2 A load - meaning the LM536023QPWPRQ1 cannot regulate 3.3 V from a 3.3 V source.
What thermal management practices are recommended for the LM536023QPWPRQ1 in high-temperature environments?
For reliable operation above 85°C ambient, the LM536023QPWPRQ1 requires direct thermal connection of its exposed paddle (EP) to a minimum 200 mm² internal or external copper pour, with ≥4 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter) connecting to inner ground planes. Use of 2 oz copper and solder mask defined pads improves heat transfer. Derate output current by 10% per 10°C above 85°C ambient when RθJA exceeds 42.5°C/W due to limited airflow - verified per JEDEC JESD51-7 4-layer board standards.
