Product details
Overview
LM76003RNPR from Texas Instruments is a 3.5-A synchronous step-down DC-DC converter operating from 3.5 V to 60 V input, delivering regulated output from 1 V to 95% of VIN with peak-current-mode control, 15-µA quiescent current in regulation, and integrated high-side/low-side MOSFETs (RDS(on) = 95 mΩ / 45 mΩ typical). It serves as the primary power stage in industrial and telecom power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LM76003RNPR datasheet, LM76003RNPR pinout, LM76003RNPR application, or LM76003RNPR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.5-A continuous output, 65-ns minimum on-time for wide VIN/VOUT ratios, FPWM/PFM mode selectability, thermal shutdown at 160°C, and WQFN-30 wettable flanks package for EMI-sensitive designs.
Technical Context
The LM76003RNPR employs fixed-frequency peak-current-mode control with internal compensation, enabling stable operation across 300 kHz–2.2 MHz via RT resistor or external SYNC clock. Its architecture supports automatic frequency foldback under tON-MIN/tOFF-MIN constraints and seamless transition between CCM, DCM, and PFM modes.
System-level integration includes precision enable with adjustable UVLO, open-drain PGOOD flag with 86–113% FB threshold hysteresis, adjustable soft-start (6.3 ms default), voltage tracking capability, and optional external BIAS supply for efficiency optimization at 3.3–18 V outputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5 V to 60 V - supports 12 V, 24 V, and 48 V industrial bus rails without pre-regulation |
| Output Current | 3.5 A continuous - delivers full rated load at TA ≤ 85°C with proper PCB thermal design |
| Quiescent Current | 15 µA in regulation - enables always-on systems with ultra-low standby power loss |
| Min. On/Off Time | tON-MIN = 65 ns, tOFF-MIN = 95 ns - enables 1 V @ 60 V input (1.7% duty cycle) without frequency foldback |
| Switching Frequency | 300 kHz to 2.2 MHz - selectable via RT resistor or external SYNC signal for EMI compliance |
| Thermal Shutdown | 160°C trip, 135°C recovery - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
| Feedback Reference | VFB = 1.006 V ±1.5% - sets output accuracy; enables precise 3.3 V, 5 V, or custom rail generation |
Pinout & Package
LM76003RNPR is housed in a 30-pin WQFN package (6.00 mm × 4.00 mm) with wettable flanks for automated optical inspection and enhanced thermal performance. The exposed die attach pad (DAP) must be soldered to a large ground copper area with ≥6 thermal vias for optimal junction-to-board thermal resistance (RθJB = 9.1°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1–5, 22, 26, SW | Power switching node | Connects to inductor and boot capacitor; carries high di/dt; requires short, low-inductance routing |
| 6, BOOT | High-side gate driver supply | Requires 470-nF ceramic capacitor to SW; critical for HS FET turn-on robustness |
| 8, VCC | Internal bias LDO output | Must decouple with 2.2-µF X7R to AGND; not for external loading |
| 9, BIAS | Optional external bias input | Tie to VOUT (3.3–18 V) or 3.3/5 V rail to reduce IQ and improve light-load efficiency |
| 10, RT | Frequency setting input | Resistor to GND sets fSW; 133 kΩ = 300 kHz, 17.4 kΩ = 2.2 MHz |
| 11, SS/TRK | Soft-start & tracking control | 2-µA current source charges external cap; also accepts external ramp for sequencing |
| 12, FB | Output voltage feedback | Resistor divider sets VOUT; 1.006 V reference enables <±1% output tolerance |
| 16, PGOOD | Open-drain power-good flag | Active-low signal indicates VOUT within ±5% of target; requires pullup resistor |
| 17, SYNC/MODE | Sync input & mode select | Ground = PFM/DCM; logic high = FPWM; external clock = sync mode (300–2200 kHz) |
| 18, EN | Precision enable input | 1.204 V threshold with 150-mV hysteresis; supports adjustable UVLO via resistor divider |
| 13–15, 24–25, AGND/PGND | Analog & power ground | AGND is reference for FB/EN/RT; PGND is LS FET source; separate planes recommended |
| 20–21, PVIN | Main power input | Connects to input capacitors; requires low-ESR/ESL CIN placed adjacent to PVIN and PGND |
| EP/DAP | Thermal pad | Must connect to system ground plane with ≥6 thermal vias for reliable 3.5-A operation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM76002RNPR | 2.5-A rated output; identical pinout, features, and package; lower RDS(on) not required for <2.5 A loads | Suitable where peak load ≤2.5 A and board space allows same footprint | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for 3.5-A headroom; no PCB change needed |
| TPS54360BDDAR | 3.5-A rating but 3.5–60 V input; no integrated low-side FET; requires external diode or MOSFET; higher BOM count | Better for designs requiring adjustable current limit or discrete power stage control | Choose if external current sense or independent HS/LS drive is required; not pin-compatible |
Compared with LM76002RNPR, LM76003RNPR provides +40% output current headroom in the same WQFN-30 package, while TPS54360BDDAR offers greater flexibility in power stage design at the cost of increased component count and layout complexity.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LM76003RNPR?
The LM76003RNPR has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 65 V on the PVIN pin, with recommended continuous operation limited to 60 V. Exceeding 60 V may trigger overvoltage protection or degrade long-term reliability. The device maintains regulation down to 3.5 V, making it suitable for 12 V, 24 V, and 48 V systems with brownout tolerance.
How does the LM76003RNPR achieve high efficiency at light load?
The LM76003RNPR achieves high light-load efficiency through automatic transition to pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) mode, reducing switching frequency as load decreases. This cuts switching losses significantly while maintaining regulation. When configured for forced PWM (FPWM), it sustains constant frequency but trades off some efficiency for ripple and noise predictability.
Can the LM76003RNPR be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, the LM76003RNPR supports synchronization via its SYNC/MODE pin. When driven with a clean external clock signal between 300 kHz and 2.2 MHz, the device locks its switching frequency and phase to that source, eliminating beat frequencies and easing EMI filtering in multi-rail systems.
What is the purpose of the BIAS pin on the LM76003RNPR?
The BIAS pin on the LM76003RNPR provides an optional external supply path for the internal bias circuitry. When tied to VOUT (3.3–18 V) or a clean 3.3/5 V rail, it reduces quiescent current and improves light-load efficiency. If unused, it must be tied to ground per datasheet requirements.
Does the LM76003RNPR support output voltage tracking during power-up?
Yes, the LM76003RNPR supports voltage tracking via the SS/TRK pin. By connecting this pin to the soft-start node of another regulator, the LM76003RNPR can ramp its output in coordination with a master rail-enabling controlled sequencing for FPGAs, processors, or multi-voltage ASICs without external circuitry.
