Product details
Overview
LMR33620CDDA from Texas Instruments is a synchronous step-down DC/DC converter optimized for rugged industrial power supplies, delivering up to 2 A output current from 3.8 V to 36 V input, with fixed 2.1 MHz switching frequency, 1 V to 24 V adjustable output voltage, and peak efficiency exceeding 95%. It serves as the primary voltage regulator in motor drive inverters and PLC CPU power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LMR33620CDDA datasheet, LMR33620CDDA pinout, LMR33620CDDA application, or LMR33620CDDA equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.1 MHz operation enabling ultra-compact filter design, integrated compensation eliminating external loop components, precision enable thresholds (1.231 V typical turn-on), and HotRod™ HSOIC-8 package with PowerPAD™ thermal pad for high-power-density layouts.
Technical Context
The LMR33620CDDA implements peak-current-mode control with automatic PFM/PWM mode transition to maintain >95% efficiency across 1 mA to 2 A load range. Its 68 ns minimum on-time (VQFN) / 75 ns (HSOIC) enables 3.8 V–to–3.3 V conversion at 2.1 MHz without dropout.
It integrates a 5-V internal LDO (VCC), open-drain power-good flag with 105–110% rising threshold and 60–170 µs glitch filter, cycle-by-cycle current limit (3.5 A typical high-side), and thermal shutdown at 165°C with 148°C hysteresis recovery - all within an 8-pin HSOIC package featuring symmetrical VIN/PGND layout for EMI reduction.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.8 V to 36 V - supports wide-VIN industrial buses including 24 V nominal and 36 V transients. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.1 MHz ±0.3 MHz - enables use of sub-2.2 µH inductors and <10 µF ceramic output capacitors. |
| Output Current | 2 A continuous - sufficient for powering dual-core microcontrollers, gate drivers, and analog front-ends. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.000 V ±15 mV - ensures ±1.5% output regulation over line/load/temperature with minimal external resistor tolerance impact. |
| Quiescent Current | 25 µA typical - extends battery life in always-on industrial sensors and remote I/O modules. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165°C activation / 148°C recovery - provides robust protection during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Enable Threshold | 1.231 V typical rising / 1.131 V falling - allows precise input UVLO via external resistor divider without external comparators. |
Pinout & Package
LMR33620CDDA uses an 8-pin HSOIC package with PowerPAD™ thermal pad (5.00 mm × 4.00 mm), where the exposed pad must be soldered to a PCB ground plane for optimal thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 PGND | Power Ground | Main return path for high-current switch node; must connect directly to thermal pad and system ground plane with short, wide traces. |
| 2 VIN | Input Supply | Primary input rail connection; requires low-ESR ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin and PGND. |
| 3 EN | Enable Control | Logic-level input with precision 1.231 V turn-on threshold; connects directly to VIN if always-on operation is required. |
| 4 PG | Power-Good Flag | Open-drain output signaling valid regulation; requires external pull-up to VCC or VOUT (100 kΩ typical). |
| 5 FB | Feedback Input | High-impedance reference node for output voltage setting; connects to resistor divider tap point with minimal trace length. |
| 6 VCC | Internal LDO Output | 5-V regulated supply for internal circuitry; decoupled with 1 µF ceramic capacitor to AGND. |
| 7 BOOT | Bootstrap Supply | Drives high-side MOSFET gate; requires 100 nF ceramic capacitor between BOOT and SW pins. |
| 8 SW | Switch Node | Connection point for power inductor; carries high di/dt switching current and must be routed with minimal loop area. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Compensation Network | Eliminates need for external Type-II/III compensation components, reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity. |
| HotRod™ Package with PowerPAD™ | Reduces parasitic inductance by >50% vs standard SOIC, minimizing switch-node ringing and conducted EMI. |
| Peak-Current-Mode Control | Enables fast transient response (<10 µs) and stable operation with ceramic output capacitors down to 10 µF. |
| Automatic PFM/PWM Transition | Maintains >85% efficiency at 1 mA load while delivering full 2 A capability - ideal for mixed-signal systems with burst-mode operation. |
| Short Minimum On-Time (75 ns) | Supports 3.8 V–to–3.3 V conversion at 2.1 MHz without pulse-skipping, ensuring tight regulation under light-load dropout conditions. |

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 | 1.4 MHz switching frequency; higher RDS(on) (95–160 mΩ HS) than LMR33620CDDA's 2.1 MHz variant. | Better suited for cost-sensitive designs where larger inductors/capacitors are acceptable. | Select when board space is less constrained and EMI filtering budget allows lower-frequency operation. |
| TPS54202DDA | 2.2 MHz fixed frequency, but only 1.5 A rated output and no integrated power-good flag. | Lacks functional safety documentation and thermal shutdown hysteresis data required for industrial certification. | Choose only for non-safety-critical consumer-grade applications needing slightly higher frequency but lower current. |
Compared with LMR33620BDDA and TPS54202DDA, the LMR33620CDDA delivers highest power density (2 A @ 2.1 MHz in HSOIC-8), includes functional safety documentation, and offers tighter enable threshold accuracy - making it optimal for space-constrained, certified industrial power rails.

FAQ
What is the switching frequency of the LMR33620CDDA?
The LMR33620CDDA operates at a fixed 2.1 MHz switching frequency, with a tolerance of ±0.3 MHz across temperature and input voltage. This high-frequency operation allows use of small inductors (typically ≤1.5 µH) and low-ESR ceramic output capacitors (≤22 µF), reducing solution footprint and improving transient response. The frequency is factory-trimmed and not user-adjustable.
Does the LMR33620CDDA require external compensation components?
No, the LMR33620CDDA includes a fully integrated compensation network, eliminating the need for external Type-II or Type-III compensation components. This simplifies design, reduces bill-of-materials count, and improves layout robustness - especially beneficial for high-volume industrial power supply designs where consistency and yield are critical.
What is the minimum input voltage supported by the LMR33620CDDA?
The LMR33620CDDA supports a minimum input voltage of 3.8 V, enabling reliable operation down to near-output voltage levels - for example, regulating 3.3 V output from a 3.8 V input at 2.1 MHz without dropout. This capability is enabled by its 75 ns minimum on-time and peak-current-mode architecture, making it suitable for battery-backed or low-headroom industrial rails.
How does the power-good (PG) flag function on the LMR33620CDDA?
The LMR33620CDDA's PG pin is an open-drain output that asserts high when output voltage is within ±5% of target (105–110% rising, 90–95% falling thresholds) after soft-start completes. It includes a 60–170 µs glitch filter to ignore transient excursions and pulls low during startup, fault conditions, or when EN is deasserted. An external 100 kΩ pull-up to VCC or VOUT is required for proper operation.
Is the LMR33620CDDA qualified for automotive applications?
The LMR33620CDDA itself is not AEC-Q100 qualified; however, a separate AEC-Q100-qualified version (LMR33620CDDAR) is available. The LMR33620CDDA is rated for –40°C to +125°C junction temperature and includes functional safety documentation, making it suitable for industrial applications with automotive-like environmental stress - but not for production automotive ECUs without qualification verification.
