Product details
Overview
LM53635NQURNLRQ1 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 spread-spectrum EMI reduction. It integrates high-side/low-side MOSFETs, internal compensation, soft-start, thermal shutdown, and a filtered open-drain RESET output - deployed in instrument clusters and telematics power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LM53635NQURNLRQ1 datasheet, LM53635NQURNLRQ1 pinout, LM53635NQURNLRQ1 application, or LM53635NQURNLRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.3-V fixed output, wettable-flank–free VQFN-HR (22-pin) package, ±1% output voltage tolerance over –40°C to +125°C junction, 15-µA no-load quiescent current, and 3.9-V minimum input for full functionality at 3.5-A load.
Technical Context
The LM53635NQURNLRQ1 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-to-3.3-V conversion without frequency foldback. Its HotRod QFN architecture minimizes parasitic inductance, reducing switch-node ringing and radiated EMI.
It supports external frequency synchronization (1.9–2.3 MHz), pin-selectable forced PWM mode (FPWM), and integrated 3-ms RESET release timer with built-in glitch filtering (12–45 µs). The BIAS pin enables efficient auxiliary biasing from the output, and the device operates with junction temperatures up to +150°C, qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C ambient).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V, ±1% tolerance over –40°C to +125°C TJ - ensures stable MCU/SOC core rail under automotive thermal stress. |
| Max Output Current | 3.5 A continuous - supports high-power infotainment processors and display drivers without external current boosting. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.9 V to 36 V, with 42-V transient tolerance ≤500 ms - eliminates need for upstream TVS or active OVP in 12-V/24-V vehicle systems. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.1 MHz nominal (±3% spread-spectrum enabled) - allows 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) - enables always-on subsystems (e.g., CAN wake-up logic) without battery drain concerns. |
| Dropout Voltage | 0.6 V at 3.5 A and +105°C TA - sustains regulation during cold-crank (≥6 V) and stop-start cycles with minimal headroom loss. |
| RESET Output | Open-drain with 3-ms release delay and 12–45 µs internal glitch filter - replaces discrete supervisor ICs in ASIL-B–compliant power sequencing. |
| Junction Temp Range | –40°C to +150°C - validated for under-hood placement and meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements. |
Pinout & Package
LM53635NQURNLRQ1 uses a 5.0-mm × 4.0-mm VQFN-HR (22-pin) package without wettable flanks (per orderable addendum Table 5-2), optimized for low-inductance layout and automated optical solder 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 ceramic cap to SW; enables high-side gate drive with minimal shoot-through risk. |
| SYNC | External clock input | Accepts 1.9–2.3 MHz system clock (rising-edge triggered); synchronizes switching to reduce beat frequencies. |
| PVIN1 / PVIN2 | Main power inputs | Parallel high-current VIN paths; must be shorted on PCB to minimize loop inductance and thermal imbalance. |
| SW | Switch node | Connects directly to power inductor; critical for EMI control - requires tight layout and ground stitching. |
| PGND1 / PGND2 | Power ground terminals | Eight dedicated GND pins (pins 5–8, 10–13); must tie together and connect to AGND at single point for noise isolation. |
| AVIN | Analog supply reference | Bias source for error amplifier; connects to PVIN net - improves PSRR and load-transient immunity. |
| FPWM | Mode control input | High = forced PWM (constant 2.1 MHz); low = auto PFM/PWM transition - enables deterministic timing in real-time systems. |
| EN | Enable input | Active-high logic (1.7–2.0 V threshold); internal hysteresis prevents chatter during slow-rising battery rails. |
| RESET | Open-drain fault flag | Asserts low on UVLO, thermal shutdown, or EN deactivation; includes internal 3-ms release timer and glitch filter. |
| AGND | Analog ground reference | Reference for FB, BIAS, and internal circuits; must connect to PGND at single star point to avoid ground bounce. |
| FB | Feedback input | Monitors regulated 3.3-V output directly (no divider needed); 1-V reference enables precise output tracking. |
| BIAS | Auxiliary bias input | Connected to output rail to power internal LDO efficiently - reduces losses vs. VIN-based biasing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated HotRod QFN package | Eliminates bond wires to reduce parasitic inductance by >50%, cutting switch-node overshoot and improving EMI margin by ≥6 dB. |
| Spread-spectrum modulation | ±3% frequency dithering lowers peak EMI amplitude by 10 dB without affecting regulation or efficiency. |
| Adaptive off-time spreading | Enables 98% max duty cycle and 300-mV dropout at 3.5 A - maintains regulation during deep cold-crank events (≤6 V). |
| Built-in RESET with filtering | 3-ms release timer and 12–45 µs glitch rejection replace external supervisors - saves 2.5 mm² board area and BOM cost. |
| Low-noise peak-current-mode control | Stable with ceramic output caps as low as 22 µF; insensitive to ESR changes during temperature cycling or aging. |
| 15-µA light-load IQ (3.3 V) | Supports >10-year battery standby in always-on modules (e.g., remote keyless entry receivers) without supplemental LDO. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LM53635NQURNLRQ1 to regulate 3.3 V at full 3.5-A load?
The LM53635NQURNLRQ1 requires a minimum input voltage of 3.9 V to maintain full functionality and ±2%/–3% output regulation at 3.5-A load, as specified in Section 7.6 of the datasheet. Below this, dropout behavior begins - though adaptive off-time spreading allows regulation down to 300 mV dropout (i.e., ~3.6 V input) with reduced switching frequency.
Does LM53635NQURNLRQ1 support external frequency synchronization, and what is the valid input range?
Yes, LM53635NQURNLRQ1 supports external synchronization via the SYNC pin, accepting a 1.9-MHz to 2.3-MHz square wave (rising-edge triggered). This feature enables EMI reduction through frequency alignment with other system clocks and avoids beat frequencies in multi-rail automotive domains.
How does the RESET output of LM53635NQURNLRQ1 behave during startup and fault conditions?
The LM53635NQURNLRQ1 RESET output remains low until the output reaches 105–110% of nominal 3.3 V, then releases high after a fixed 3-ms timer. It asserts low again on EN deactivation, UVLO, or thermal shutdown - with internal 12–45 µs glitch filtering to reject noise-induced false triggers.
What is the purpose of the BIAS pin on LM53635NQURNLRQ1, and how should it be connected?
The BIAS pin on LM53635NQURNLRQ1 supplies the internal LDO from the regulated output rail instead of VIN, improving efficiency and PSRR. For the 3.3-V fixed version, it must be connected directly to the 3.3-V output node - enabling lower quiescent current and faster transient response than VIN-referenced biasing.
Is LM53635NQURNLRQ1 pin-compatible with other members of the LM53625/35-Q1 family?
Yes, all LM53625/35-Q1 variants share identical 22-pin VQFN-HR (RNL) packaging and pinout - including LM53635NQURNLRQ1, LM53635NQRNLRQ1, and LM53625x variants. Functionally, differences are limited to output current rating (2.5 A vs. 3.5 A), output voltage (fixed 3.3 V/5 V or adjustable), and spread-spectrum enablement.
