Product details
Overview
LM536033QPWPRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous buck converter delivering up to 3 A at 3.3 V output, operating from 3.5 V to 36 V input with 2.1 MHz fixed switching frequency, ±2% output voltage tolerance, and integrated reset flag with 2–4 ms assertion delay - used in instrument cluster power rails requiring high transient immunity and compact layout.
For engineers reviewing the LM536033QPWPRQ1 datasheet, LM536033QPWPRQ1 pinout, LM536033QPWPRQ1 application, or LM536033QPWPRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3 A load capability, 1.7 µA shutdown current, FPWM mode control, open-drain RESET with glitch filtering, and HTSSOP-16 thermal performance under -40°C to +125°C ambient conditions.
Technical Context
The LM536033QPWPRQ1 implements a current-mode synchronous buck architecture with automatic PWM/PFM transition, enabling high light-load efficiency (24 µA no-load supply current) while maintaining tight regulation across wide VIN (3.5–36 V) and temperature (-40°C to +150°C junction). Its valley-current limiting scheme provides robust overload protection without external sensing.
It integrates loop compensation, soft-start, thermal shutdown, UVLO, and external synchronization via SYNC pin. The BIAS pin connects directly to VOUT for improved line regulation, while the internal 3.15 V VCC regulator powers control circuitry - eliminating need for external bias supplies in 3.3 V/5 V fixed-output configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 3 A maximum continuous - supports automotive infotainment SoC core rails and display backlight drivers without derating at 85°C ambient. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5 V to 36 V - withstands cold-crank (3.5 V) and load-dump transients (42 V ≤500 ms), simplifying front-end surge protection. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.1 MHz nominal - enables use of small 1–2.2 µH inductors and avoids AM radio band; synchronizable via SYNC pin (1.9–2.3 MHz range). |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±2% over temperature and line/load - ensures reliable operation of 3.3 V logic interfaces (e.g., CAN FD transceivers, LVDS serializers) without post-regulation. |
| Shutdown Current | 1.7 µA typical - meets automotive "always-on" module quiescent requirements (e.g., telematics wake-up circuits). |
| RESET Delay | 2–4 ms assertion time - prevents false power-good signals during startup overshoot or load-step recovery. |
| Junction Temperature Range | -40°C to +150°C - qualified for under-hood placement in ADAS camera modules and radar ECUs. |
Pinout & Package
LM536033QPWPRQ1 uses a thermally enhanced 16-pin HTSSOP package (5.00 mm × 4.40 mm × 1.00 mm) with exposed thermal pad (EP) for PCB-level heat sinking. Pin 17 (EP) must be soldered to a solid ground plane for optimal thermal performance (RθJC(bot) = 1.1°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (1,2) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; pins 1 and 2 must be shorted on PCB to minimize parasitic inductance in high-di/dt path. |
| CBOOT (3) | Bootstrap supply | Requires 470 nF X7R capacitor to SW; enables high-side NMOS gate drive above VIN. |
| VCC (4) | Internal regulator output | 3.15 V supply for control logic; decouple with 3.3 µF ceramic to AGND - not for external loading. |
| BIAS (5) | Bias regulator input | Connected to VOUT (3.3 V); improves line regulation and reduces IQ by powering internal LDO from output rail. |
| SYNC (6) | Frequency sync input | Accepts 1.5–5.5 V clock signal; ties to GND if unused - never left floating. |
| FPWM (7) | Forced PWM mode control | High = fixed-frequency PWM; Low = auto PFM/PWM transition - eliminates audible noise in cabin systems. |
| RESET (8) | Open-drain fault indicator | Pulled low when VOUT <94.5% nominal; requires external pull-up (e.g., to VCC or VOUT) for logic-level signaling. |
| FB (9) | Feedback input | Internally connected to 3.3 V divider; no external resistors needed - simplifies layout and improves accuracy. |
| AGND (10) | Analog ground reference | Reference point for FB, EN, FPWM, SYNC; must connect to EP and PGND at single-point star ground. |
| EN (11) | Enable input | Active-high (≥2 V); shutdown threshold ≤0.8 V - supports direct connection to microcontroller GPIO or battery-sense circuit. |
| VIN (12,13) | Main input supply | 3.5–36 V input; pins 12 and 13 must be shorted on PCB and bypassed with ≥10 µF X7R ceramic near package. |
| N/C (14) | No connection | Unbonded die pad - leave unconnected and unmasked on PCB. |
| PGND (15,16) | Power ground return | Low-side MOSFET source return; tie directly to AGND and EP with wide copper pour to minimize EMI. |
| EP (17) | Exposed thermal pad | Must be soldered to inner-layer ground plane; accounts for >80% of total heat dissipation in 3 A operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated RESET with glitch filter | 25 µs filter window prevents false triggers during load transients; 2–4 ms delay ensures stable VOUT before system release. |
| BIAS-connected topology | Reduces no-load IQ to 24 µA by powering internal regulators from VOUT instead of VIN - critical for always-on modules. |
| Valley current limiting | 3.0–4.3 A programmable limit protects against sustained overloads and short circuits without external sense resistors. |
| Thermally optimized HTSSOP | RθJA = 42.5°C/W on 4-layer JEDEC board - enables 3 A operation at 85°C ambient with minimal heatsinking. |
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (-40°C to +125°C ambient), HBM ±2500 V (EN/RESET/FB), CDM ±750 V - validated for safety-critical domains. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LM536033QPWPRQ1 to regulate a stable 3.3 V output?
The LM536033QPWPRQ1 requires a minimum input voltage of 3.9 V to maintain ±2% regulation at 3 A output current, per the System Characteristics table. At lighter loads (1 A), it can regulate down to 3.55 V input. This 3.5 V to 36 V operating range supports cold-crank conditions common in 12 V automotive systems.
Does LM536033QPWPRQ1 require external feedback resistors to set the 3.3 V output?
No, LM536033QPWPRQ1 does not require external feedback resistors for 3.3 V output. It features an internally trimmed resistor divider connected to the FB pin, enabling fixed 3.3 V operation out-of-the-box - reducing component count, layout area, and potential accuracy errors from external resistor tolerances.
How does the RESET function of LM536033QPWPRQ1 differ from a standard power-good signal?
The LM536033QPWPRQ1 RESET output includes a 12–45 µs glitch filter and 2–4 ms assertion delay, preventing false triggers during transient events. Its thresholds track the output voltage (e.g., 94.5%–96.5% falling, 105%–110% rising), offering tighter accuracy than discrete supervisors - eliminating need for external monitoring ICs in ASIL-B designs.
Can LM536033QPWPRQ1 operate in forced PWM mode, and how is it enabled?
Yes, LM536033QPWPRQ1 supports forced PWM (FPWM) mode to maintain constant 2.1 MHz switching regardless of load. This is enabled by driving the FPWM pin high (>1.5 V); when low (<0.4 V), the device automatically transitions between PWM and PFM for optimal light-load efficiency - critical for reducing audible noise in cabin systems.
What thermal considerations apply to LM536033QPWPRQ1 in a 3 A automotive application?
At 3 A output and 13.5 V input, LM536033QPWPRQ1 dissipates ~1.2 W. With its HTSSOP package and exposed thermal pad (EP), proper PCB layout - including soldering EP to a 4-layer internal ground plane - achieves RθJA ≈ 42.5°C/W. This allows operation up to 85°C ambient without derating, verified per JESD 51-7 thermal testing standards.
