Product details
Overview
LM536353QRNLTQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous buck DC-DC converter delivering 3.3 V at up to 3.5 A, operating from 3.9 V to 36 V input with 2.1-MHz fixed switching frequency and ±1% output voltage tolerance over –40°C to +125°C junction temperature. It integrates high-side/low-side MOSFETs, internal compensation, soft-start, and a true open-drain RESET output with 3-ms release timer - optimized for head unit power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LM536353QRNLTQ1 datasheet, LM536353QRNLTQ1 pinout, LM536353QRNLTQ1 application, or LM536353QRNLTQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.5-A continuous output capability, wettable-flank VQFN-22 package for automotive solder-joint inspection, spread-spectrum EMI reduction, external SYNC input (1.9–2.3 MHz), and 15-µA no-load quiescent current in light-load mode.
Technical Context
The LM536353QRNLTQ1 employs peak-current-mode control with adaptive off-time 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 frequency foldback. Its flip-chip HotRod QFN architecture minimizes parasitic inductance, reducing switch-node ringing and radiated EMI.
It features dual ground domains (AGND for analog reference, PGND1/PGND2 for high-current return paths), integrated 3.1-V VCC LDO, BIAS pin for auxiliary biasing, and FPWM pin for forced PWM mode override. The RESET output includes built-in glitch filtering (12–45 µs) and hysteresis (±1% of VOUT), eliminating need for external supervision circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±1% over –40°C to +125°C TJ - ensures stable MCU/SOC core rail without external feedback divider. |
| Max Output Current | 3.5 A continuous - supports high-power infotainment processors and display drivers in automotive head units. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.9 V to 36 V (transient tolerant to 42 V/500 ms) - accommodates cold-crank (≥4.5 V), load-dump (≤42 V), and 24-V truck systems. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.1 MHz nominal (1.85–2.35 MHz range) - enables use of compact 1–2.2 µH inductors and avoids AM-band interference. |
| Quiescent Current | 15 µA typical at no load (3.3-V output) - extends battery life in always-on telematics modules during vehicle sleep mode. |
| Package | VQFN-HR-22 (5.0 mm × 4.0 mm, 0.6-mm pitch, wettable flanks) - supports automated optical solder-joint inspection per AEC-Q200. |
| RESET Function | Open-drain output with 3-ms release timer, 105%/94% VOUT thresholds, and 12–45 µs glitch filter - provides reliable system power-good signaling without external RC network. |
Pinout & Package
VQFN-HR-22 package (5.0 mm × 4.0 mm, 0.6-mm pitch) with wettable flanks for solder-joint inspection; thermal pad exposed on bottom for PCB heat sinking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC (Pin 1) | Internal LDO output | Supplies 3.1 V to internal control circuits; requires 4.7-µF ceramic capacitor to AGND for stability. |
| CBOOT (Pin 2) | Bootstrap capacitor node | Connects 470-nF capacitor to SW; enables high-side gate drive above VIN - critical for duty cycle >50%. |
| SYNC (Pin 3) | External clock input | Accepts 1.9–2.3 MHz system clock (rising-edge triggered); synchronizes switching to reduce beat frequencies in multi-rail systems. |
| PVIN1/PVIN2 (Pins 4,14) | Main power input | Dual high-current VIN pins - must be shorted on PCB to minimize loop inductance and improve transient response. |
| SW (Pin 9) | Switch node | Connects directly to power inductor; high di/dt node requiring tight layout and minimal trace length to reduce EMI. |
| PGND1/PGND2 (Pins 5–8,10–13) | Power ground returns | Eight dedicated low-impedance ground pins - must be tied together and connected to AGND near device for optimal thermal and EMI performance. |
| FB (Pin 21) | Feedback input | Internally connected to 3.3-V reference for fixed-output version; no external resistor divider required. |
| RESET (Pin 19) | Open-drain status flag | Asserts low during EN=low, UVLO, or thermal shutdown; requires external pull-up for logic-level compatibility. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the LM536353QRNLTQ1?
The LM536353QRNLTQ1 delivers up to 3.5 A continuous output current at 3.3 V with proper PCB thermal design and ambient temperature ≤ 85°C. At 105°C ambient, derating applies per thermal metrics - RθJA = 29.4°C/W - requiring adequate copper area and airflow to sustain full load.
Does the LM536353QRNLTQ1 require external compensation components?
No, the LM536353QRNLTQ1 includes fully integrated compensation circuitry. For the fixed 3.3-V version, no external feedback resistors or compensation network is needed - simplifying design and reducing bill-of-materials cost compared to adjustable regulators.
Can the LM536353QRNLTQ1 operate during automotive cold-crank conditions?
Yes, the LM536353QRNLTQ1 supports input voltages as low as 3.55 V (typical) to maintain regulation - enabling operation during cold-crank events where battery voltage dips to ~6 V. Its 300-mV dropout at 3.5 A ensures stable 3.3-V output even under worst-case VIN conditions.
What is the purpose of the BIAS pin on the LM536353QRNLTQ1?
The BIAS pin supplies auxiliary bias to the internal control circuitry using the regulated output voltage - improving efficiency and reducing power loss versus drawing bias from VIN. For the 3.3-V version, connect BIAS directly to the output node to enable optimal light-load performance and lowest quiescent current.
Is the LM536353QRNLTQ1 pin-compatible with other devices in the LM536xx-Q1 family?
Yes, all LM53625/35-Q1 variants share identical VQFN-HR-22 pinout and footprint - including LM536253QRNLTQ1 (2.5-A), LM536355QRNLTQ1 (5-V), and spread-spectrum versions. This allows drop-in replacement for current or voltage scaling without PCB redesign.
