Product details
Overview
LMR33630APCQRNXRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous step-down DC/DC converter delivering up to 3 A output current, operating from 3.8 V to 36 V input, with adjustable 1 V–24 V output, 2.1 MHz switching frequency, and integrated 75-mΩ/50-mΩ MOSFETs-designed for infotainment power rails in harsh-temperature vehicle environments.
For engineers reviewing the LMR33630APCQRNXRQ1 datasheet, LMR33630APCQRNXRQ1 pinout, LMR33630APCQRNXRQ1 application, or LMR33630APCQRNXRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.1 MHz high-frequency operation enabling compact filter design, precision enable threshold (1.231 V typ), power-good flag with glitch filtering, thermal shutdown at 165°C, and wettable-flank 3 mm × 2 mm VQFN package optimized for automotive EMI compliance.
Technical Context
This device implements peak-current-mode control with automatic PFM/PWM mode transition to maintain >95% peak efficiency across load range. Its 68 ns minimum on-time supports high VIN-to-VOUT step-down ratios (e.g., 36 V → 3.3 V at 2.1 MHz), while integrated compensation eliminates external loop components.
The architecture features dual current-limit protection (peak ISC = 4.5 A typ, valley ILIMIT = 3.5 A typ), hiccup-mode short-circuit response (94 ms off-time), and precision power-good flag with ±2% voltage thresholds referenced to FB (1.0 V nominal). Thermal management relies on RθJB = 23.3°C/W and wettable-flank VQFN for enhanced PCB heat spreading.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.8 V to 36 V - supports full automotive battery range including cold-crank (6 V) and load-dump (36 V) transients |
| Output Current | 3 A continuous - sufficient for powering SoCs, displays, and connectivity modules in telematics units |
| Switching Frequency | 2.1 MHz - enables use of small 1 µH inductors and low-ESR ceramic capacitors for space-constrained layouts |
| Feedback Reference | 1.0 V ±1.5% - enables precise output regulation with standard resistor-divider networks |
| Quiescent Current | 25 µA typical - extends battery life during vehicle sleep modes without compromising wake-up responsiveness |
| Shutdown Current | 5 µA maximum - meets stringent automotive low-power requirements for always-on domains |
| Min On-Time | 68 ns - allows direct 36 V-to-3.3 V conversion at 2.1 MHz without requiring pre-regulation stages |
Pinout & Package
LMR33630APCQRNXRQ1 uses a 12-pin VQFN (RNX) package measuring 3.00 mm × 2.00 mm × 0.85 mm with wettable flanks for automated optical inspection and improved solder joint reliability in automotive reflow processes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 11 PGND | Power ground | Low-inductance return path for high di/dt switch currents; must connect directly to AGND and input capacitor ground plane |
| 2, 10 VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 3.8–36 V; requires local 10-µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pins 2 and 10 |
| 3 NC | No-connect | Internally unconnected; used on PCB to route CBOOT capacitor to SW node with minimal loop area |
| 4 BOOT | Bootstrap supply | Drives high-side MOSFET gate; requires 100-nF ceramic capacitor connected between BOOT and SW |
| 5 VCC | Internal 5-V LDO output | Powers internal circuitry; not for external loads; requires 1-µF decoupling to AGND |
| 6 AGND | Analog ground reference | Reference for FB, EN, PG; must be tied to PGND at single point near IC |
| 7 FB | Feedback input | Monitors output via resistor divider; 1.0 V reference enables accurate adjustable output setting |
| 8 PG | Open-drain power-good flag | Asserts high when VOUT is within ±7% of target; includes 170 µs glitch filter to reject transient disturbances |
| 9 EN | Enable control | Logic-level input with 1.231 V rising threshold; supports precision UVLO using external resistor divider |
| 12 SW | Switch node | Connects to power inductor; high dv/dt node requiring tight layout and guard ring to minimize EMI |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMR33630APAQRNXRQ1 | Same 3-A rating and package, but 400 kHz switching frequency - higher inductor size, lower EMI, reduced light-load efficiency | Better suited for noise-sensitive analog subsystems where 2.1 MHz switching could interfere with RF receivers | Select when EMI filtering priority outweighs board space constraints and light-load efficiency targets |
| TPS543320RTWR | 3-A, 2.2-MHz buck with PMBus interface, higher IQ (35 µA), no integrated compensation, larger 16-pin VQFN | Supports digital telemetry and dynamic voltage scaling - required for adaptive power management in advanced ECUs | Choose when system-level telemetry, programmable soft-start, or margining capability is mandatory |
Compared with LMR33630APAQRNXRQ1, the LMR33630APCQRNXRQ1 trades lower EMI for smaller magnetics and higher light-load efficiency; versus TPS543320RTWR, it offers simpler analog control and lower BOM cost but lacks digital configurability and telemetry.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LMR33630APCQRNXRQ1?
The LMR33630APCQRNXRQ1 has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 38 V, with recommended operating range from 3.8 V to 36 V. This 36-V upper limit accommodates automotive load-dump transients per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a, ensuring reliable operation without external clamping in most vehicle electrical architectures. The device maintains regulation down to 3.8 V, supporting cold-crank scenarios.
Does the LMR33630APCQRNXRQ1 require external compensation components?
No, the LMR33630APCQRNXRQ1 integrates a complete Type-II compensation network internally. This eliminates the need for external resistors and capacitors typically required to stabilize voltage-mode or current-mode buck regulators. Designers can achieve stable operation with only the essential power-stage components: input/output capacitors, power inductor, and feedback divider - reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity.
How does the power-good (PG) flag behave during startup and fault conditions for the LMR33630APCQRNXRQ1?
The LMR33630APCQRNXRQ1 PG pin asserts high after a ~4-ms delay following EN assertion, indicating valid output regulation. It pulls low during undervoltage (VOUT < 92% of target), overvoltage (VOUT > 107%), thermal shutdown, or current-limit hiccup events. A built-in 170-µs glitch filter rejects sub-millisecond transients. When EN is low, PG is forced low regardless of output state, providing deterministic system reset behavior.
What thermal protection mechanisms are implemented in the LMR33630APCQRNXRQ1?
The LMR33630APCQRNXRQ1 incorporates junction-temperature sensing with thermal shutdown activation at 165°C and automatic recovery at 148°C. It also features cycle-by-cycle current limiting and hiccup-mode short-circuit protection that limits average power dissipation during sustained faults. The 3 mm × 2 mm VQFN package with wettable flanks and low RθJB (23.3°C/W) enhances heat transfer to the PCB, enabling 3-A operation without forced airflow in typical automotive ambient conditions.
Can the LMR33630APCQRNXRQ1 operate efficiently at very light loads typical in automotive standby modes?
Yes, the LMR33630APCQRNXRQ1 automatically transitions from PWM to PFM (pulse-frequency modulation) mode below ~200 mA load, reducing switching losses and achieving 25 µA typical operating quiescent current. This enables >85% efficiency at 1 mA output, critical for maintaining battery health during multi-day vehicle parking modes while preserving fast wake-up capability through the precision enable input.
