Product details
Overview
LMR33620BRNXR from Texas Instruments is a synchronous step-down DC/DC converter delivering 2 A output current across 3.8 V to 36 V input, with fixed 1.4 MHz switching frequency, adjustable 1 V–24 V output voltage, peak efficiency >95%, and operation from –40°C to +125°C junction temperature. It serves as the primary power stage in industrial motor drives and PLC CPU supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LMR33620BRNXR datasheet, LMR33620BRNXR pinout, LMR33620BRNXR application, or LMR33620BRNXR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.4 MHz frequency option in the 3 mm × 2 mm VQFN package, integrated compensation, precision enable threshold (1.231 V typ), and open-drain power-good flag with glitch filtering.
Technical Context
This device implements peak-current-mode control with automatic PFM/PWM mode transition for high light-load efficiency. Its architecture supports ultra-low dropout operation via minimum on-time of 68 ns and adaptive frequency foldback.
The LMR33620BRNXR integrates a 5-V internal LDO (VCC), bootstrap gate driver (BOOT), and analog ground (AGND) with dedicated thermal pad. Protection includes cycle-by-cycle current limit, hiccup short-circuit response, thermal shutdown at 165°C, and input UVLO.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.8 V to 36 V - supports wide-VIN industrial rails including 12 V, 24 V, and 36 V battery/supply systems |
| Output Current | 2 A continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, FPGAs, and gate drivers in compact designs |
| Switching Frequency | 1.4 MHz - enables use of small external inductors (e.g., 1 µH) and reduces solution footprint |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 1.0 V ±1.5% - sets output accuracy for adjustable configurations using resistor divider |
| Quiescent Current | 25 µA - maintains high efficiency at light loads without sacrificing standby performance |
| Minimum On-Time | 68 ns - enables high step-down ratios (e.g., 24 V → 3.3 V) at 1.4 MHz without pulse-skipping instability |
| Junction Temperature Range | –40°C to +125°C - rated for harsh environments including factory automation and motor drive enclosures |
Pinout & Package
The LMR33620BRNXR is housed in a 12-pin 3 mm × 2 mm VQFN package with wettable flanks and an exposed thermal pad (AGND). This package minimizes parasitic inductance, suppresses EMI, and enables automated optical inspection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 11 | PGND | Power ground return for high-current paths; must be connected to system ground plane with low-inductance layout |
| 2, 10 | VIN | Main input supply terminal; requires local 10-µF ceramic capacitor directly to PGND |
| 9 | EN | Enable input with precision thresholds (1.231 V typ turn-on); supports adjustable UVLO via external divider |
| 8 | PG | Open-drain power-good flag; asserts high when output is within ±3% of target, filtered by 60–170 µs glitch window |
| 7 | FB | Feedback node for output voltage regulation; connects to resistor divider tap; 1.0 V reference sets VOUT = 1.0 × (1 + RFBT/RFBB) |
| 5 | VCC | Internal 5-V LDO output; powers control circuitry; requires 1-µF bypass capacitor to AGND |
| 4 | BOOT | Bootstrap supply for high-side MOSFET gate driver; requires 100-nF ceramic capacitor to SW |
| 12 | SW | Switch node connecting to power inductor; carries high di/dt; must be routed with minimal loop area |
| 6 | AGND | Analog ground reference for feedback and internal references; connects to thermal pad and system ground |
| 3 | NC | No internal connection; on PCB, connect SW to this pad to simplify CBOOT routing per TI layout guidance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Compensation Network | Eliminates external Type-II/III compensation components, reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity |
| HotRod™ Package with Wettable Flanks | Enables reliable solder-joint inspection and improves thermal dissipation (RθJB = 23.3°C/W) |
| Parallel Input Current Paths | Reduces EMI by canceling magnetic fields between VIN and PGND pins on opposite sides of VQFN |
| Peak Efficiency >95% | Achieved at mid-load (e.g., 1 A @ 5 V out from 12 V in), minimizing thermal stress in enclosed systems |
| Short Minimum On-Time (68 ns) | Supports high-frequency, high-ratio conversion (e.g., 24 V → 3.3 V @ 1.4 MHz) without forced discontinuous mode |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMR33620BDDA | Same electrical specs but in 8-pin HSOIC (5 mm × 4 mm); higher RDS-ON (HS: 95–160 mΩ vs. 75–145 mΩ); 42.9°C/W RθJA vs. 72.5°C/W | Better thermal performance in low-airflow environments; larger footprint limits ultra-compact designs | Select when board space permits and thermal margin is prioritized over miniaturization |
| TPSM53602 | Pin-compatible module integrating LMR33620 + inductor; fixed 5 V or adjustable output; 3.5 mm × 4.5 mm footprint | Reduces design time and layout risk; eliminates external magnetics but increases height (2.5 mm vs. 0.85 mm) | Select for rapid prototyping or where layout expertise is limited; not suitable for ultra-low-profile applications |
Compared with LMR33620BDDA, the LMR33620BRNXR offers superior EMI performance and smaller footprint but requires careful thermal management due to higher RθJA; versus TPSM53602, it provides greater flexibility in output voltage and external component selection at the cost of additional design effort.

FAQ
What is the switching frequency of the LMR33620BRNXR?
The LMR33620BRNXR operates at a fixed 1.4 MHz switching frequency. This value is factory-configured and cannot be adjusted externally. The 1.4 MHz frequency enables compact magnetic design and helps meet conducted EMI requirements in industrial environments without requiring complex filtering. It is specified across the full –40°C to +125°C junction temperature range and remains stable under line and load variations.
Does the LMR33620BRNXR require external compensation components?
No, the LMR33620BRNXR includes an integrated compensation network. This eliminates the need for external Type-II or Type-III compensation networks, reducing bill-of-materials count and layout sensitivity. The internal compensation is optimized for stability with standard output capacitor ESR values and typical inductor selections used in 1.4 MHz operation, simplifying design validation for industrial applications.
What package type is used for the LMR33620BRNXR?
The LMR33620BRNXR uses a 12-pin VQFN package measuring 3.00 mm × 2.00 mm × 0.85 mm with wettable flanks. This HotRod™-based package features symmetrical VIN/PGND pin placement to reduce EMI, an exposed thermal pad (AGND), and optimized power delivery paths. It is distinct from the HSOIC variant and requires reflow-compatible PCB land patterns per TI's SNOA870 layout guidelines.
How does the power-good (PG) function work on the LMR33620BRNXR?
The LMR33620BRNXR provides an open-drain power-good flag (PG pin) that asserts high when the output voltage is within ±3% of regulation (93–107% of FB reference). It includes a 60–170 µs glitch filter to ignore transient excursions and pulls low during startup, fault conditions, or when EN is deasserted. The PG pin requires an external pull-up resistor (e.g., 100 kΩ to VOUT or VCC) and interfaces directly with microcontroller reset inputs.
What protection features are built into the LMR33620BRNXR?
The LMR33620BRNXR includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting, hiccup-mode short-circuit protection, thermal shutdown at 165°C (with 148°C hysteresis), input undervoltage lockout, and bootstrap UVLO. These protections operate independently of external components and are fully characterized across temperature. No external fault-handling circuitry is required for basic robustness in industrial deployments.
