Product details
Overview
LMR33620CDDAR from Texas Instruments is a synchronous step-down DC/DC converter delivering 2 A output current across 3.8 V to 36 V input range, with adjustable 1 V–24 V output voltage, 2.1 MHz fixed switching frequency, and peak efficiency >95%. It serves as primary power supply in industrial motor drives, PLC CPU modules, and HVAC control systems.
For engineers reviewing the LMR33620CDDAR datasheet, LMR33620CDDAR pinout, LMR33620CDDAR application, or LMR33620CDDAR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.1 MHz operation in HSOIC-8 package, 68 ns minimum on-time, integrated compensation, precision enable threshold (1.231 V typ), and power-good flag with 170 µs glitch filter.
Technical Context
The LMR33620CDDAR implements peak-current-mode control with automatic PFM/PWM mode transition for high light-load efficiency. Its architecture supports dropout regulation down to VIN – VOUT = 150 mV at 1 A and features internal 5-V VCC LDO, boot-strap gate drive, and zero-current detection for diode emulation.
Protection includes cycle-by-cycle current limit (ISC = 3.5 A typ), hiccup-mode short-circuit response (94 ms burst interval), thermal shutdown (165 °C), and input UVLO. The device uses an 8-pin HSOIC package with PowerPAD™ thermal pad and validated pinout for low-EMI layout via symmetrical VIN/PGND routing.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMR33620BDDAR | 1.4 MHz switching frequency; higher RDS-ON (95–160 mΩ HS) increases conduction loss at 2 A | Better suited for cost-sensitive designs where 2.1 MHz size reduction is unnecessary | Select when board space is less constrained and lower EMI priority permits reduced frequency |
| TPSM53602 | Complete 2 A module with integrated inductor; larger footprint but eliminates external magnetics and layout sensitivity | Targeted at rapid prototyping and low-risk production where design cycle time outweighs solution size | Choose when time-to-market is critical and board area premium is acceptable for guaranteed performance |
Compared with LMR33620BDDAR, the LMR33620CDDAR delivers smaller magnetics and lower EMI via 2.1 MHz operation; compared with TPSM53602, it offers greater design flexibility and lower component cost at the expense of layout effort and validation time.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage supported by the LMR33620CDDAR?
The LMR33620CDDAR supports an adjustable output voltage range from 1 V to 24 V, set via external feedback resistors. The maximum output is limited to 95% of VIN under certain conditions; for outputs above 24 V or near VIN, consult TI's application engineering team. The internal 1.0 V reference and precision FB pin enable ±1.5% regulation accuracy across temperature and load.
Does the LMR33620CDDAR require external compensation components?
No, the LMR33620CDDAR integrates a complete compensation network, eliminating the need for external Type-II or Type-III compensation components. This reduces bill-of-materials count, simplifies PCB layout, and accelerates design validation. The internal compensation is optimized for stability with standard 22 µF–47 µF output capacitors and typical 1–2.2 µH inductors used in 2.1 MHz operation.
What package type and thermal characteristics does the LMR33620CDDAR use?
The LMR33620CDDAR uses an 8-pin HSOIC (DDA) package with PowerPAD™ thermal pad (5.00 mm × 4.00 mm). Its junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) is 42.9 °C/W on a 4-layer JEDEC board. For production designs, thermal performance depends on PCB copper area under the exposed pad; TI recommends ≥250 mm² of 2-oz copper connected via ≥6 thermal vias to inner ground planes.
How does the power-good (PG) flag behave during startup and fault conditions for the LMR33620CDDAR?
The LMR33620CDDAR PG flag is an open-drain output that remains low for ~4 ms after EN assertion, then goes high when VOUT reaches 95% of target. It pulls low during overcurrent, thermal shutdown, or EN deactivation. A 170 µs internal glitch filter prevents false triggering during transients. When unused, PG must be left floating - no pull-up or tie-down is required.
Can the LMR33620CDDAR operate in dropout mode, and what is its minimum dropout voltage?
Yes, the LMR33620CDDAR operates in dropout mode with automatic frequency foldback. At 1 A output and 5 V setting, its measured dropout voltage (VIN – VOUT) is 150 mV. This enables stable regulation even when input sags close to output voltage - critical for 12 V or 24 V systems experiencing brownouts. Minimum on-time (75 ns typ) and adaptive duty cycle allow this behavior without external intervention.
