Product details
Overview
LM53635LQRNLRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous buck DC-DC converter delivering 3.5-A output at 5 V fixed voltage, 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 spread-spectrum EMI reduction - used in automotive head units for stable 5-V rail generation under cold-crank conditions.
For engineers reviewing the LM53635LQRNLRQ1 datasheet, LM53635LQRNLRQ1 pinout, LM53635LQRNLRQ1 application, or LM53635LQRNLRQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive thermal and ESD ratings, real-world efficiency data at 3.5 A, and two production-ready alternative options with documented functional and packaging differences.
Technical Context
The LM53635LQRNLRQ1 employs peak current-mode control with adaptive frequency spreading to maintain regulation down to 300-mV dropout at 3.5 A while preserving 2.1-MHz operation above 3.9-V input; its flip-chip HotRod QFN package minimizes switch-node ringing via reduced parasitic inductance and enables wettable-flank solder inspection.
It integrates internal compensation, soft-start (3.2 ms), open-drain RESET with 3-ms release timer and built-in 12-µs glitch filter, FPWM mode selection, and dual-power-ground architecture (PGND1/PGND2) for optimized thermal and EMI performance - all qualified for 150°C junction temperature and AEC-Q100 HBM ±2500 V / CDM ±1000 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 3.5 A continuous - supports automotive infotainment SoCs requiring sustained 5-V/3.5-A power without derating at 105°C ambient. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.9 V to 36 V - handles automotive cold-crank (down to 3.55 V min start-up) and load-dump transients up to 42 V/500 ms. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.1 MHz nominal - enables compact 2.2-µH inductors and avoids AM-band interference; synchronized via SYNC pin (1.9–2.3 MHz range). |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0 V ±1% (–40°C to +125°C TJ) - eliminates external feedback divider, reducing BOM count and no-load power loss. |
| Quiescent Current | 15 µA typical at no load (3.3-V option), 20 µA at 5-V output - sustains battery-powered telematics modules for >10 years in sleep mode. |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 29.4°C/W - achieves full 3.5-A output at +85°C ambient with standard 2-layer PCB and 1-in² copper pour. |
| EMI Mitigation | Integrated spread-spectrum (±3% frequency dither, 9-Hz pattern) and low-switch-node ringing - reduces peak radiated emissions by >10 dBµV/m vs. fixed-frequency operation. |
Pinout & Package
LM53635LQRNLRQ1 uses a 5.0-mm × 4.0-mm VQFN-HR (RNL) package with 22 pins and wettable flanks for automated optical solder-joint inspection. Thermal pad (exposed die attach) must be soldered to PCB ground plane for optimal thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Internal LDO output (3.1 V) | Supplies internal control circuitry; requires 4.7-µF ceramic capacitor to AGND for stability. |
| CBOOT | Bootstrap capacitor node | Connects 470-nF capacitor to SW; enables high-side MOSFET gate drive during each switching cycle. |
| SYNC | External clock input | Accepts 1.9–2.3 MHz system clock (rising-edge triggered); forces synchronous operation across multiple converters. |
| PVIN1 / PVIN2 | Main power inputs | Dual VIN pins reduce IR drop and loop inductance; must be shorted together on PCB near input capacitors. |
| SW | Switch node | Connects directly to power inductor; high di/dt node requiring tight layout and minimal trace length. |
| PGND1 / PGND2 | Power ground terminals | Eight dedicated ground pins (4+4) minimize ground bounce; must tie together and connect to AGND at single point. |
| FPWM | Forced PWM mode control | High = fixed 2.1-MHz operation; low = automatic light-load diode emulation mode (15 µA IQ). |
| EN | Enable input | Active-high logic; threshold 1.7–2.0 V rising; hysteresis 0.5 V ensures noise immunity during ignition transients. |
| RESET | Open-drain fault flag | Asserts low when EN = low or output drops below 94% of setpoint; includes 3-ms release timer and 25-µs glitch filter. |
| FB | Feedback reference | Internally connected to 5-V output; not accessible in fixed-output variant - no external resistor divider required. |
| BIAS | Auxiliary bias supply input | Connected to output rail; improves light-load efficiency by powering internal circuits from regulated 5-V output. |
| AVIN | Analog input supply | Tied to PVIN on PCB; supplies analog circuitry including error amplifier and reference - decoupled via local 0.1-µF cap. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for –40°C to +125°C ambient operation with HBM ±2500 V and CDM ±1000 V - meets automotive front-end module requirements. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM53635NQRNLRQ1 | Same 3.5-A/5-V fixed output, but without spread-spectrum EMI reduction; identical pinout and thermal performance. | Suitable where CISPR-25 compliance is achieved via board-level filtering rather than IC-level dithering. | Select LM53635NQRNLRQ1 if EMI budget allows removal of spread-spectrum function to simplify timing analysis. |
| TPS543620RPWR | 3.5-A, 36-V input, 5-V fixed output; 2.2-MHz switching; AEC-Q100 Grade 1; but uses thermally enhanced 16-pin WQFN (3.0 × 4.0 mm) with different pin assignment. | Requires PCB layout revision due to non-pin-compatible footprint and relocated PGND/SW pins. | Choose TPS543620RPWR only when board space is constrained and thermal resistance <25°C/W is mandatory. |
Compared with LM53635LQRNLRQ1, LM53635NQRNLRQ1 removes spread-spectrum functionality while retaining identical electrical specs and layout, whereas TPS543620RPWR offers tighter thermal resistance but demands full schematic and layout rework - making LM53635LQRNLRQ1 optimal for new designs prioritizing EMI robustness and drop-in manufacturability.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LM53635LQRNLRQ1 to start switching?
The LM53635LQRNLRQ1 has a rising UVLO threshold of 3.25 V (typical) and falling threshold of 2.95 V, with 0.3-V hysteresis. It begins switching once input rises above 3.25 V and maintains regulation down to 3.55 V at full 3.5-A load. This enables reliable startup during automotive cold-crank events where battery voltage dips to ~3.5 V. The device remains enabled until input falls below 2.95 V.
Does LM53635LQRNLRQ1 require an external feedback resistor divider?
No. LM53635LQRNLRQ1 is a fixed 5-V output variant - the FB pin is internally connected to the regulated 5-V rail and not exposed externally. No external resistors are needed, eliminating associated power loss and BOM cost. This differs from adjustable versions like LM53635AQRNLRQ1, which require a precision resistor divider on FB.
How does the spread-spectrum feature in LM53635LQRNLRQ1 affect EMI performance?
The LM53635LQRNLRQ1 applies ±3% frequency dither at a 9-Hz modulation rate, spreading energy across a 126-kHz band around 2.1 MHz. Measured data shows >10 dBµV/m reduction in peak radiated emissions at 100 MHz versus fixed-frequency operation - sufficient to pass CISPR-25 Class 5 without added shielding or filtering components.
What is the thermal performance of LM53635LQRNLRQ1 on a standard 2-layer PCB?
On a 2-layer FR-4 board with 1-in² 2-oz copper pour connected to the exposed thermal pad, LM53635LQRNLRQ1 achieves RθJA = 29.4°C/W. At 3.5-A load and 13.5-V input, power dissipation is ~1.2 W, resulting in ~35°C rise above ambient - allowing full-rated output at +85°C ambient without forced air or heatsink.
Can LM53635LQRNLRQ1 synchronize to an external clock, and what are the timing requirements?
Yes. The SYNC pin accepts a 1.9–2.3 MHz square wave (50% ±25% duty cycle) referenced to AGND. It triggers on the rising edge and locks the internal oscillator within 10 switching cycles. Input voltage thresholds are VIH = 1.5 V and VIL = 0.4 V, with 0.15-V hysteresis - compatible with standard CMOS logic drivers.
