Product details
Overview
LMR33620AQ5RNXRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive-qualified synchronous step-down DC/DC converter delivering 2 A output at fixed 5 V from 3.8 V–36 V input, featuring peak-current-mode control, 400 kHz switching frequency, and integrated 75-mΩ/50-mΩ MOSFETs for infotainment USB charging and telematics power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LMR33620AQ5RNXRQ1 datasheet, LMR33620AQ5RNXRQ1 pinout, LMR33620AQ5RNXRQ1 application, or LMR33620AQ5RNXRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 5-V output, 400-kHz frequency variant, wettable-flank VQFN-12 package, automotive thermal range (–40°C to +125°C), and functional safety documentation support.
Technical Context
The LMR33620AQ5RNXRQ1 implements peak-current-mode control with automatic PFM/PWM mode transition to maintain high efficiency across load range. It integrates internal compensation, precision enable thresholds (VEN-H = 1.231 V typ), and a power-good flag with glitch-filtered ±2% regulation window referenced to 5-V output.
Its architecture supports ultra-low dropout operation down to 3.8 V input for 5-V output, uses a 68-ns minimum on-time for high VIN/VOUT ratios, and incorporates cycle-by-cycle current limit plus hiccup-mode short-circuit protection triggered below 0.4 V FB voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.8 V to 36 V - supports wide automotive battery transients including cold-crank (≥3.8 V) and load-dump (≤36 V). |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5 V - eliminates external feedback resistors; regulated to ±1.5% over full temperature and load range. |
| Output Current | 2 A continuous - sufficient for dual USB 2.0 ports or single USB 3.0 port with local regulation. |
| Switching Frequency | 400 kHz - balances EMI performance and inductor size; avoids AM radio band while enabling compact magnetics. |
| Quiescent Current | 25 µA typical - enables always-on systems (e.g., telematics wake-up logic) without excessive battery drain. |
| Shutdown Current | 5 µA max - ensures minimal parasitic draw during vehicle sleep mode. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165°C activation / 148°C recovery - provides robust overtemperature protection in sealed automotive enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
The LMR33620AQ5RNXRQ1 is housed in a 12-pin VQFN (RNX) package measuring 3.0 mm × 2.0 mm × 0.85 mm with wettable flanks for automated optical inspection and enhanced thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 11 | PGND | Power ground - must be connected to system ground plane and AGND via low-inductance path; bypass capacitor return node. |
| 2, 10 | VIN | Main input supply - requires direct connection to high-quality input capacitor(s); symmetrical layout reduces EMI. |
| 3 | NC | No connect - internally unconnected; PCB trace connects SW to simplify CBOOT routing in VQFN layout. |
| 4 | BOOT | Bootstrap supply - connects to SW via 100-nF ceramic capacitor; enables high-side MOSFET gate drive. |
| 5 | VCC | Internal 5-V LDO output - powers control circuitry; not for external loads; requires 1-µF decoupling to AGND. |
| 6 | AGND | Analog ground reference - star-point for FB, PG, EN; separates noise-sensitive analog paths from power ground. |
| 7 | FB | Feedback input - internally tied to 5-V output divider; must connect directly to VOUT near output capacitor. |
| 8 | PG | Open-drain power-good flag - signals regulation status (high = OK, low = fault); requires external pull-up resistor. |
| 9 | EN | Enable input - precision threshold (1.231 V typ) allows adjustable UVLO; must not float; direct VIN tie acceptable. |
| 12 | SW | Switch node - connects to power inductor; routed to NC pad on PCB to minimize loop area and EMI. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMR33620BQ5RNXRQ1 | 1.4-MHz switching frequency; same 5-V fixed output, 2-A rating, and VQFN-12 package. | Better suited for space-constrained designs requiring smaller inductors; higher frequency increases light-load switching losses. | Select when board area is critical and EMI filtering can accommodate 1.4 MHz harmonics. |

FAQ
What is the output voltage configuration of the LMR33620AQ5RNXRQ1?
The LMR33620AQ5RNXRQ1 features a factory-trimmed fixed 5-V output. Unlike adjustable versions, it does not require external feedback resistors - the FB pin is internally connected to generate precisely 5 V, with regulation accuracy of ±1.5% across –40°C to +125°C and full load range. This simplifies design and improves long-term stability versus resistor-based dividers.
Does the LMR33620AQ5RNXRQ1 support automotive safety-critical systems?
Yes, the LMR33620AQ5RNXRQ1 is functional safety-capable with documentation available to aid ISO 26262 system-level design. It carries AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification (–40°C to +125°C), includes FIT rate data, failure mode analysis, and diagnostic coverage metrics - enabling its use in ASIL-B automotive subsystems such as telematics and infotainment power domains.
What package type and dimensions does the LMR33620AQ5RNXRQ1 use?
The LMR33620AQ5RNXRQ1 uses a 12-pin VQFN package (RNX variant) measuring 3.0 mm × 2.0 mm × 0.85 mm with wettable flanks. This HotRod™-enhanced package minimizes parasitic inductance, improves thermal dissipation via exposed thermal pad, and supports automated optical inspection - critical for high-reliability automotive manufacturing.
How does the LMR33620AQ5RNXRQ1 manage efficiency at light loads?
The LMR33620AQ5RNXRQ1 automatically transitions from PWM to PFM mode at light loads, enabling diode emulation and discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). This reduces switching losses and maintains >85% efficiency even at 10-mA output, while its 25-µA operating quiescent current ensures minimal battery drain in always-on automotive subsystems.
Can the LMR33620AQ5RNXRQ1 withstand automotive load dump conditions?
Yes, the LMR33620AQ5RNXRQ1 supports input voltages up to 36 V and has been validated per AEC-Q100 for automotive transients. Its absolute maximum VIN rating is 38 V, and integrated input overvoltage protection, thermal shutdown, and hiccup-mode short-circuit response ensure robust operation during load dump events common in 12-V vehicle electrical systems.
