Product details
Overview
LM536353QRNLRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous buck DC-DC converter delivering a fixed 3.3-V output at up to 3.5 A, operating from 3.9 V to 36 V input with 2.1-MHz switching frequency, ±1% output voltage tolerance over –40°C to +125°C, and integrated RESET with 3-ms release timer - used in automotive head units for stable 3.3-V rail generation under cold-crank conditions.
For engineers reviewing the LM536353QRNLRQ1 datasheet, LM536353QRNLRQ1 pinout, LM536353QRNLRQ1 application, or LM536353QRNLRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.5-A continuous output capability, wettable-flank VQFN package for automated optical inspection, spread-spectrum EMI reduction, external frequency synchronization support, and automotive-grade thermal robustness up to +150°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The LM536353QRNLRQ1 implements peak current-mode control with adaptive frequency spreading to maintain regulation down to 300-mV dropout at 3.5 A, enabling operation from as low as 3.55 V input to 3.3 V output. Its flip-chip HotRod QFN architecture minimizes parasitic inductance, reducing switch-node ringing and radiated EMI.
It integrates internal compensation, soft-start (3.2 ms), thermal shutdown (155°C trip), and a true open-drain RESET output with built-in 25-µs glitch filter and 3-ms valid delay - eliminating need for external supervisory ICs in telematics and instrumentation cluster designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V, ±1% tolerance over –40°C to +125°C TJ - ensures reliable logic-level supply for automotive microcontrollers and interfaces. |
| Max Output Current | 3.5 A continuous - supports high-current digital loads such as infotainment SoCs and display controllers. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.9 V to 36 V, with 42-V transient tolerance ≤500 ms - accommodates automotive battery variations including cold-crank and load-dump events. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.1 MHz nominal, adjustable via SYNC pin (1.9–2.3 MHz) - enables compact magnetics and avoids AM-band interference. |
| Quiescent Current | 15 µA typical at no load (3.3-V output) - extends battery life in always-on vehicle modules. |
| Package | VQFN-HR (22-pin), 5.0 mm × 4.0 mm with wettable flanks - supports automated optical solder-joint inspection without X-ray. |
| RESET Output | Open-drain, 3-ms release timer, 105–110% upper / 92–96.5% lower threshold - provides accurate power-good signaling for system sequencing. |
Pinout & Package
VQFN-HR (22-pin) package with 5.0 mm × 4.0 mm body size, 0.6-mm pin pitch, and wettable flanks for solder-joint inspection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Internal LDO output (3.1 V) | Supplies internal control circuitry; requires 4.7-µF capacitor to AGND for stability. |
| CBOOT | Bootstrap capacitor node | Connects 470-nF capacitor to SW to drive high-side MOSFET gate above VIN. |
| SYNC | External clock input | Accepts 1.9–2.3 MHz rising-edge-triggered sync signal for system-level frequency coordination. |
| PVIN1 / PVIN2 | Main power inputs | Dual high-current VIN pins - must be shorted on PCB to minimize loop inductance and improve EMI. |
| SW | Switch node | Connects directly to power inductor; critical for minimizing switching losses and EMI radiation. |
| PGND1 / PGND2 | Power ground terminals | Eight dedicated low-side MOSFET ground pins - must be tied together and connected to AGND for thermal and noise performance. |
| FB | Feedback input | Monitors regulated 3.3-V output directly (no divider needed); 20-nA input bias enables high-resistance sensing. |
| EN | Enable control | Active-high logic input (1.7–2.0 V threshold); hysteresis prevents chatter during marginal supply conditions. |
| RESET | Open-drain status flag | Asserts low when EN = low or output drops below 92–96.5% of 3.3 V; requires external pull-up resistor. |
| FPWM | Forced PWM mode select | High = fixed 2.1-MHz operation; low = automatic light-load diode emulation for ultra-low IQ. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the LM536353QRNLRQ1?
The LM536353QRNLRQ1 delivers up to 3.5 A continuous output current at 3.3 V with proper PCB layout and thermal management. This rating is validated across –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature and accounts for internal MOSFET RDS(on) and thermal derating per the datasheet's RθJA = 29.4°C/W specification. The LM536353QRNLRQ1 maintains this current capability even under 42-V transient input conditions.
Does the LM536353QRNLRQ1 require external compensation components?
No, the LM536353QRNLRQ1 features fully integrated compensation - no external RC network is required for stable operation. Its internal Type-II compensator is optimized for standard 3.3-V output configurations using recommended output capacitors (e.g., 22-µF ceramic). This eliminates tuning effort and reduces BOM count, making the LM536353QRNLRQ1 suitable for rapid automotive design cycles.
How does the RESET function operate on the LM536353QRNLRQ1?
The LM536353QRNLRQ1 provides an open-drain RESET output that asserts low when EN = low or when the regulated 3.3-V output falls below 92–96.5% of nominal. It includes a built-in 25-µs glitch filter and a 3-ms release timer after fault clearance. The LM536353QRNLRQ1 RESET pin requires an external pull-up resistor to a compatible voltage rail (e.g., 3.3 V or 5 V) and directly replaces discrete reset supervisors in automotive systems.
Can the LM536353QRNLRQ1 synchronize to an external clock?
Yes, the LM536353QRNLRQ1 supports external frequency synchronization via its SYNC pin, accepting a 1.9–2.3 MHz CMOS-compatible clock signal with rising-edge triggering. This allows precise alignment of switching edges across multiple converters in complex automotive ECUs - reducing beat frequencies and simplifying EMI filter design. The LM536353QRNLRQ1 maintains regulation and protection functions during sync operation.
What is the minimum input voltage required for the LM536353QRNLRQ1 to regulate 3.3 V at full load?
The LM536353QRNLRQ1 requires a minimum input voltage of 3.9 V to maintain full 3.5-A output current and ±2/–3% regulation accuracy at 3.3 V. However, it can sustain regulation down to 3.55 V input at reduced load (1.5 A), and as low as 3.2 V during startup (with hysteresis). This extended low-input capability supports automotive cold-crank scenarios where battery voltage dips transiently below 6 V.
