Product details
Overview
LMR23610ADDA from Texas Instruments is a 36-V, 1-A synchronous step-down DC/DC converter in an 8-pin HSOIC package with PowerPAD™. It delivers regulated output from 4 V to 36 V input, supports PFM mode for 75 µA quiescent current, features internal compensation, and integrates high- and low-side MOSFETs (RDS(on) = 185 mΩ / 105 mΩ) for industrial power conditioning in PLCs and HVAC controllers.
For engineers reviewing the LMR23610ADDA datasheet, LMR23610ADDA pinout, LMR23610ADDA application, or LMR23610ADDA equivalent, key selection considerations include its 400-kHz fixed-frequency peak-current-mode control, 60-ns minimum on-time, VIN UVLO thresholds (3.3 V rising / 2.9 V falling), hiccup-mode short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown at 170 °C.
Technical Context
The LMR23610ADDA employs fixed-frequency peak-current-mode control with internal loop compensation, enabling stable regulation across wide input (4–36 V) and output (1–28 V) ranges without external compensation components. Its integrated high- and low-side NMOS switches support continuous 1-A output with cycle-by-cycle current limiting and zero-cross detection.
It operates in PWM mode under normal load and transitions to PFM mode at light load to maintain efficiency down to 75 µA IQ. Frequency synchronization (200 kHz–2.2 MHz) via the EN/SYNC pin and programmable UVLO using external resistors provide flexible system-level power sequencing and supply monitoring.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4 V to 36 V - supports unregulated industrial rails including 12 V, 24 V, and 36 V battery or bus supplies. |
| Output Current | 1 A continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and communication ICs in automation systems. |
| Switching Frequency | 400 kHz nominal (340–460 kHz) - balances EMI, inductor size, and efficiency; synchronizable to 200 kHz–2.2 MHz external clock. |
| Quiescent Current | 75 µA in PFM mode - enables long battery life in always-on monitoring applications. |
| Shutdown Current | 2 µA typical - minimizes standby drain in safety-critical or energy-harvested systems. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.0 V ±2% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures precise output regulation across temperature with external resistor divider. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 170 °C threshold with 15 °C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
LMR23610ADDA uses an 8-pin HSOIC (DDA) package with exposed thermal pad (PowerPAD™), measuring 4.89 mm × 3.90 mm. The thermal pad must be soldered to a PCB ground plane for effective heat dissipation and electrical grounding.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SW | Switch node output | Connects internally to both MOSFETs; drives external inductor; requires low-inductance layout to minimize switching losses and EMI. |
| 2 BOOT | Bootstrap capacitor connection | Supplies gate drive voltage for high-side FET; requires 470-nF ceramic capacitor between BOOT and SW. |
| 3 VCC | Internal LDO output | Provides 4.1 V bias for control circuitry; must be bypassed with 2.2-µF/16-V ceramic capacitor to AGND and thermal pad. |
| 4 FB | Feedback input | Senses output voltage via resistor divider; reference is 1.0 V; sets VOUT = 1 V × (1 + RFBT/RFBB). |
| 5 EN/SYNC | Enable and sync input | Logic-high (>1.55 V) enables operation; AC-coupled external clock (2.8–5.5 V, 200 kHz–2.2 MHz) synchronizes switching frequency. |
| 6 AGND | Analog ground reference | Ground return for feedback, reference, and internal analog circuits; must connect to system ground with low-impedance path. |
| 7 VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 4–36 V; includes UVLO (rising 3.3 V, falling 2.9 V); requires local 10-µF ceramic input capacitor. |
| 8 PGND | Power ground | Return path for low-side FET and inductor current; connects internally to thermal pad; must tie to AGND and CIN/COUT grounds. |
| Pad (Thermal) | Exposed thermal ground | Primary heat dissipation path; must be soldered to large PCB copper area connected to PGND and AGND. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated synchronous rectification | Eliminates external Schottky diode; reduces conduction loss and improves efficiency by up to 5% at full load. |
| Internal compensation | Removes need for external compensation network; simplifies design and reduces BOM count while ensuring stability with most ceramic output capacitors. |
| Soft-start into prebiased output | Prevents reverse current flow when powering up into an already-biased rail-critical for hot-swap and redundant power systems. |
| Hiccup-mode short-circuit protection | Disables switching after 64 consecutive current-limit cycles, then retries every 5 ms-limits power dissipation during sustained fault conditions. |
| Precision enable with UVLO programming | EN pin threshold (1.55 V typ.) and hysteresis (0.4 V) allow accurate system-level undervoltage lockout using two external resistors. |
Applications
| PLC CPU Power Supply | HVAC Control Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMR23625ADDA | 2.5-A output current, identical 4–36 V input, same 8-pin HSOIC package and pinout. | Higher current capability suits dual-rail systems or future-proofing; requires larger inductor and output capacitance. | Select when >1 A load margin is required or when designing across LMR236x family for layout reuse. |
| TPS54331DR | 3-A output, 3.5–28 V input, SOIC-8 package; no integrated low-side FET (external diode required); higher 125 µA IQ. | Lacks synchronous rectification and PFM mode; less efficient at light load; lower max input voltage limits use in 36 V industrial systems. | Consider only if cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency and input voltage requirements; not drop-in compatible. |
Compared with LMR23610ADDA, LMR23625ADDA offers scalable current capacity in identical footprint, while TPS54331DR trades integration and wide-VIN capability for lower unit cost-making LMR23610ADDA optimal for space-constrained, battery-sensitive, or high-input-voltage industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LMR23610ADDA?
The LMR23610ADDA has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 42 V, but its recommended operating input voltage range is 4 V to 36 V. Operation above 36 V may trigger internal UVLO or cause reliability concerns; sustained exposure beyond 42 V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Does the LMR23610ADDA require external compensation components?
No, the LMR23610ADDA features fully internal compensation, eliminating the need for external Type-II or Type-III compensation networks. This simplifies design, reduces BOM count, and ensures stable loop response across its full operating range-including with all-ceramic output capacitors-though a feedforward capacitor (CFF) across RFBT is recommended for optimal transient performance.
How does the EN/SYNC pin function in the LMR23610ADDA?
The EN/SYNC pin serves dual roles: as a precision enable input (1.55 V typical threshold, 0.4 V hysteresis) for controlled startup/shutdown, and as a synchronization interface. When AC-coupled with a ≥2.8 V peak-to-peak external clock signal (200 kHz–2.2 MHz), it forces the LMR23610ADDA to align its switching frequency-reducing system-level EMI through deterministic timing.
What thermal management provisions does the LMR23610ADDA include?
The LMR23610ADDA incorporates thermal shutdown at 170 °C (±8 °C) with 15 °C hysteresis, plus junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 42.0 °C/W in the DDA package. Effective cooling requires soldering the exposed thermal pad to a multi-layer PCB ground plane; RθJB = 23.4 °C/W confirms board conduction is the dominant heat path.
Can the LMR23610ADDA operate with a 3.3 V output, and what resistor values are recommended?
Yes, the LMR23610ADDA supports 3.3 V output using the FB pin and a resistor divider. With VREF = 1.0 V, set RFBB = 10 kΩ and calculate RFBT = 23 kΩ (using RFBT = RFBB × (VOUT/VREF − 1)). Use 1% tolerance, low-TCR resistors; keep RFBT between 10 kΩ and 100 kΩ for noise immunity and light-load efficiency balance.
