Product details
Overview
LMR23630ADDA from Texas Instruments is a 36-V, 3-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, employs peak-current-mode control with internal compensation, and supports PFM/FPWM operation for high efficiency or low ripple. Used in PLC CPU power supplies and HVAC control systems.
For engineers reviewing the LMR23630ADDA datasheet, LMR23630ADDA pinout, LMR23630ADDA application, or LMR23630ADDA equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 400-kHz switching frequency, 75-µA no-load quiescent current, precision enable input, integrated synchronous rectification, and thermal protection - all validated for industrial wide-VIN regulation.
Technical Context
The LMR23630ADDA uses fixed-frequency peak-current-mode control with internal loop compensation, eliminating external compensation components. Its 60-ns minimum on-time enables high duty-cycle operation down to ~1 V output at 36 V input.
It integrates high-side and low-side NMOS FETs (RDS(on) = 185 mΩ / 105 mΩ), features a precision 1-V reference (±2% over temperature), and supports hiccup-mode short-circuit protection with 64-cycle fault detection and 5-ms retry delay in HSOIC packaging.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4 V to 36 V - supports unregulated industrial rails including 24-V and 36-V battery/supply systems. |
| Output Current | 3 A continuous - sufficient for powering FPGA I/O banks, microcontroller cores, or sensor subsystems. |
| Switching Frequency | Fixed 400 kHz - enables compact magnetics and predictable EMI filtering without RT resistor layout. |
| Quiescent Current | 75 µA in PFM mode - extends battery life in always-on industrial monitoring nodes. |
| Enable Threshold | 1.55 V typical rising threshold with 0.4 V hysteresis - allows clean power sequencing with standard logic-level signals. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 170 °C typical with 15 °C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
| Min. On-Time | 60 ns - supports high step-down ratios (e.g., 36 V → 3.3 V) without pulse-skipping instability. |
Pinout & Package
LMR23630ADDA is housed in an 8-pin HSOIC (4.89 mm × 3.90 mm) with exposed PowerPAD™ thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt switching current - requires short, low-inductance trace to minimize EMI. |
| BOOT | Bootstrap supply | Drives high-side gate; requires 100 nF–470 nF ceramic capacitor between BOOT and SW for reliable high-side turn-on. |
| VCC | Bias LDO output | Internally generates ~4.1 V; must be bypassed with 2.2-µF/16-V capacitor to AGND - no external load permitted. |
| FB | Feedback input | Senses output via resistor divider; references internal 1-V precision bandgap - sets VOUT = 1 V × (1 + RFBB/RFBT). |
| VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 4–36 V; connects to bulk input capacitor - shortest possible path to PGND minimizes voltage spikes. |
| PGND | Power ground | Low-side FET source return; must tie directly to CIN and COUT grounds and thermal pad for optimal thermal and EMI performance. |
| EN/SYNC | Enable & sync input | Active-high enable with undervoltage lockout; also accepts external 200–2200 kHz clock for synchronization - no pull-up required. |
| AGND | Analog ground | Reference for FB, EN, and internal circuits; must connect to PGND at single point near IC to avoid noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated synchronous rectification | Eliminates external Schottky diode - reduces conduction loss and improves full-load efficiency by ~3–5% vs. asynchronous designs. |
| Internal compensation | Removes need for external Type-II/III compensation network - cuts BOM count and simplifies layout for stable operation across 10× output capacitance range. |
| Soft start into prebiased load | Prevents reverse current flow when enabling into powered output rail - essential for hot-swap and redundant supply applications. |
| PFM and FPWM mode options | PFM maximizes light-load efficiency (>85% at 1 mA); FPWM maintains constant frequency and <15-mVpp ripple at all loads - selectable via part number variant. |
| Precision enable input | 1.55-V threshold with 0.4-V hysteresis enables direct interface with 1.8-V/3.3-V GPIO - avoids level-shifter complexity in multi-rail sequencing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMR23630AFDDA | Same HSOIC-8 package, identical specs except adds FPWM mode support via dedicated PGOOD pin function. | Required where constant-frequency operation and power-good signaling are both needed - e.g., FPGA configuration sequencing. | Select LMR23630AFDDA if FPWM mode and PGOOD flag are mandatory; otherwise LMR23630ADDA offers simpler enable-only control. |
| LMR23625ADDA | Pin-to-pin compatible HSOIC-8 variant rated for 2.5 A; shares same 400-kHz frequency, 75-µA IQ, and thermal characteristics. | Suitable for lower-current applications (≤2.5 A) where margin or cost optimization is prioritized over 3-A headroom. | Choose LMR23625ADDA when load current is confirmed ≤2.5 A - reduces thermal stress and may improve light-load efficiency. |
Compared with LMR23630AFDDA, LMR23630ADDA omits PGOOD and FPWM capability but retains identical thermal performance and footprint; versus LMR23625ADDA, it provides 0.5-A higher current rating with no layout change - enabling scalable design reuse across product tiers.

FAQ
What is the switching frequency of the LMR23630ADDA?
The LMR23630ADDA operates at a fixed 400 kHz switching frequency. This value is factory-programmed and cannot be adjusted via external resistor or sync signal - unlike WSON variants with RT or SYNC pins. The fixed frequency simplifies EMI filter design and eliminates tuning effort during layout.
Does the LMR23630ADDA support power-good indication?
No, the LMR23630ADDA does not provide a power-good (PGOOD) output. That function is available only on variants such as LMR23630AFDDA (HSOIC with PGOOD) or LMR23630APDRR (WSON with PGOOD). The LMR23630ADDA lacks the dedicated open-drain PGOOD pin and associated internal circuitry.
What is the maximum output voltage achievable with the LMR23630ADDA?
The LMR23630ADDA supports output voltages from 1 V to 28 V, set by an external resistor divider on the FB pin referencing its internal 1-V precision bandgap. Output accuracy is ±2% over temperature and line/load conditions, making it suitable for 3.3-V, 5-V, and 12-V rails in industrial systems.
How does the LMR23630ADDA handle short-circuit conditions?
The LMR23630ADDA implements hiccup-mode short-circuit protection: upon detecting 64 consecutive valley-current-limit events, it shuts down for 5 ms before retrying. This limits average fault power, prevents thermal runaway, and avoids latch-up - critical for unattended industrial equipment where sustained shorts may occur.
Can the LMR23630ADDA be synchronized to an external clock?
No, the LMR23630ADDA does not support external clock synchronization. Its EN/SYNC pin functions solely as an enable input with undervoltage lockout; it lacks the internal sync detection circuitry present in RT- or PGOOD-equipped variants like LMR23630DRR or LMR23630FDRR.
