Product details
Overview
LM53625AQRNLTQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous buck DC-DC converter delivering up to 2.5 A at 36 V input, 2.1-MHz fixed switching frequency, ±1% output voltage accuracy (–40°C to +125°C), and 15-µA quiescent current at no load with 3.3-V output - used in telematics power rails requiring high efficiency and low EMI.
For engineers reviewing the LM53625AQRNLTQ1 datasheet, LM53625AQRNLTQ1 pinout, LM53625AQRNLTQ1 application, or LM53625AQRNLTQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive-grade thermal and ESD specs, and real-world design implications for head unit and instrumentation cluster power systems.
Technical Context
The LM53625AQRNLTQ1 implements peak-current-mode control with adaptive frequency spreading to maintain regulation down to 300-mV dropout at 3.5 A while sustaining 2.1-MHz operation across wide VIN/VOUT ratios - enabling 18 V → 3.3 V conversion without duty-cycle limitation. Its HotRod QFN package minimizes parasitic inductance, reducing switch-node ringing and radiated EMI.
It integrates internal compensation, soft-start (3.2 ms), open-drain RESET with 3-ms release timer and built-in glitch filtering (25 µs), plus FPWM pin-selectable forced PWM mode to eliminate light-load frequency modulation - supporting stable 2.1-MHz operation under all load conditions including battery-powered instrumentation clusters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| Input Voltage Range | 3.55 V to 36 V - supports cold-crank (3.55 V min) and load-dump (42 V transient, ≤500 ms) without external protection |
| Output Current | 2.5 A continuous - rated for full-load operation at 125°C junction temperature with 0.6-V dropout |
| Switching Frequency | 2.1 MHz (±150 kHz) - enables compact 2.2-µH inductors and avoids AM-band interference |
| Quiescent Current | 15 µA typical at 3.3-V output, no load - eliminates need for backup LDO in always-on telematics modules |
| Output Accuracy | ±1% over –40°C to +125°C TJ - ensures reliable microcontroller core voltage regulation in instrument clusters |
| RESET Function | Open-drain output with 3-ms release delay and 12–45 µs internal glitch filter - replaces discrete supervisor IC in automotive ECUs |

Pinout & Package
LM53625AQRNLTQ1 uses a 5.0-mm × 4.0-mm VQFN-HR (22-pin) package with wettable flanks for automated optical solder-joint inspection. Thermal resistance: RθJA = 29.4°C/W, RθJC(bot) = 2.4°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Internal 3.1-V LDO output | Power source for internal control logic; requires 4.7-µF capacitor to AGND for stability |
| CBOOT | Bootstrap capacitor node | Connects 470-nF capacitor to SW; enables high-side MOSFET gate drive above VIN |
| SYNC | External clock input | Accepts 1.9–2.3 MHz system clock (rising-edge triggered); synchronizes switching to avoid beat frequencies |
| PVIN1 / PVIN2 | Main power inputs | Dual high-current VIN pins; must be shorted on PCB to minimize loop inductance and EMI |
| SW | Switch node | Connects directly to power inductor; high dv/dt node requiring tight layout and ground shielding |
| PGND1 / PGND2 | Power ground terminals | Eight dedicated GND pins; must be tied together and connected to AGND at single point for noise isolation |
| FB | Feedback input | For adjustable version: connects to resistor divider; reference voltage = 1.0 V ±0.5% |
| EN | Enable input | Active-high logic; threshold = 1.7–2.0 V; hysteresis = 0.5 V - supports direct connection to battery via RC delay |
| RESET | Open-drain fault flag | Asserts low when EN = low or output undervoltage; requires external pull-up; sink capability = 1 mA @ 0.4 V |
| FPWM | Mode control input | High = forced PWM (fixed 2.1 MHz); low = automatic light-load mode with diode emulation |
| BIAS | Auxiliary bias supply | Connected to output rail; reduces power loss vs. internal LDO-only biasing; improves efficiency at light loads |
| AVIN | Analog input supply | Tied to PVIN on PCB; powers analog circuitry (error amp, reference) - decoupling critical for PSRR |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM53635AQRNLTQ1 | 3.5-A output current, higher HS/LS current limits (IL-HS = 4.5–6 A), same package and pinout | Required for designs needing >2.5 A sustained load, e.g., multi-display instrument clusters with touch controllers | Select when peak load exceeds 2.5 A or when future-proofing for higher-power derivatives |
| TPS543620QPWPRQ1 | 3.5-A, 36-V input, 2.2-MHz sync-capable, but no spread spectrum or integrated RESET; larger 6-mm × 6-mm HTSSOP | Lacks built-in RESET and EMI-reduction features; requires external supervisor and more board space | Choose only if footprint compatibility with legacy HTSSOP layouts is mandatory and EMI filtering can be added externally |
Compared with LM53635AQRNLTQ1, the LM53625AQRNLTQ1 trades 1-A output capacity for identical feature set and smaller solution size; versus TPS543620QPWPRQ1, it delivers superior EMI performance and system integration at the cost of non-pin-compatible packaging.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LM53625AQRNLTQ1 to start and regulate?
The LM53625AQRNLTQ1 has a rising UVLO threshold of 3.2 V to 3.55 V (typical 3.55 V), with hysteresis of 0.3 V. It can regulate a 3.3-V output from as low as 3.55 V input after startup, enabling operation during automotive cold-crank events. The device maintains regulation down to 300-mV dropout at full load, making LM53625AQRNLTQ1 suitable for battery-supplied systems with wide voltage excursions.
Does LM53625AQRNLTQ1 support external synchronization, and what is the valid frequency range?
Yes, LM53625AQRNLTQ1 supports external synchronization via the SYNC pin, accepting a 1.9-MHz to 2.3-MHz square wave (rising-edge triggered). This allows alignment of switching frequency with system clocks to avoid heterodyne interference in sensitive RF sections like telematics modems. The internal oscillator remains locked within ±150 kHz of the external signal, ensuring stable operation without jitter accumulation in LM53625AQRNLTQ1-based designs.
How does the RESET output of LM53625AQRNLTQ1 behave during startup and fault conditions?
The LM53625AQRNLTQ1 RESET output is an open-drain flag that goes low when EN is deasserted or when output voltage falls below 94% of nominal (e.g., <3.102 V for 3.3-V output). It features a 3-ms release delay after regulation is restored and internal 25-µs glitch filtering to reject noise-induced false triggers. This behavior makes LM53625AQRNLTQ1's RESET function suitable as a primary system power-good signal without external debouncing circuitry.
Can LM53625AQRNLTQ1 operate in forced PWM mode, and how is it enabled?
Yes, LM53625AQRNLTQ1 supports forced PWM mode via the FPWM pin: driving FPWM ≥1.5 V selects constant 2.1-MHz switching regardless of load, disabling diode emulation and light-load frequency foldback. This ensures predictable EMI profile and eliminates audible coil whine in head unit audio subsystems. The FPWM pin draws only 1 µA leakage, allowing simple resistor-divider or GPIO control - a key differentiator of LM53625AQRNLTQ1 in noise-sensitive applications.
What thermal performance can be expected from LM53625AQRNLTQ1 in a standard 4-layer PCB layout?
In a standard 4-layer PCB with 1-in² 2-oz copper thermal pad connected to internal ground planes, LM53625AQRNLTQ1 achieves RθJB = 5.4°C/W and RθJC(bot) = 2.4°C/W. At 2.5-A load and 13.5-V input, power dissipation is ~0.4 W, resulting in ~2.2°C rise above board temperature - well within the –40°C to +150°C junction limit. This thermal margin enables LM53625AQRNLTQ1 deployment in sealed enclosures without active cooling in instrument clusters.
