Product details
Overview
LMR36006BRNXR from Texas Instruments is a 4.2-V to 60-V, 0.6-A synchronous step-down DC/DC converter in a 2-mm × 3-mm HotRod™ VQFN-HR-12 package. It delivers regulated output voltage via adjustable feedback (VFB = 1.0 V), features peak-current-mode control, integrated high-side/low-side MOSFETs, and operates at 1 MHz with 26 µA quiescent current-ideal for space-constrained industrial field transmitters and PLC modules.
For engineers reviewing the LMR36006BRNXR datasheet, LMR36006BRNXR pinout, LMR36006BRNXR application, or LMR36006BRNXR equivalent, key selection considerations include input transient tolerance up to 66 V, thermal shutdown at 170°C, power-good flag with 80–200 µs deglitch delay, and compatibility with CISPR 25 Class 5 EMI requirements.
Technical Context
The LMR36006BRNXR uses peak-current-mode control with internal loop compensation, enabling stable regulation without external compensation components. Its auto-mode operation dynamically switches between PWM (constant 1 MHz) at medium-to-heavy loads and PFM with diode emulation at light loads to maintain >92% efficiency at 12 VIN/5 VOUT/0.6 A while minimizing quiescent current.
Protection architecture includes cycle-by-cycle high-side current limit (0.8–1.2 A), low-side valley current limit (0.6–0.95 A), hiccup-mode short-circuit response (94 ms off-time), thermal shutdown (170°C trip), and input UVLO referenced to internal 5-V LDO (VCC UVLO rising at 3.8 V). The HotRod™ flip-chip package reduces switch-node ringing and parasitic inductance via parallel input paths and optimized pin layout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.2 V to 60 V - supports wide industrial input rails including 24 V and 48 V systems with 66 V transient tolerance. |
| Output Current | 0.6 A continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and analog front-ends in compact modules. |
| Switching Frequency | 1 MHz (fixed) - enables use of small external inductors (e.g., 2.2 µH) and reduces solution footprint. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.0 V ±15 mV - allows precise output voltage setting via resistor divider; supports 3.3 V, 5 V, or custom outputs. |
| Quiescent Current | 26 µA typical - extends battery life in always-on industrial sensors and field devices operating in PFM mode. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 170°C trip / 158°C recovery - provides robust overtemperature protection without requiring external thermal monitoring. |
| Power-Good Delay | 80–200 µs deglitch - prevents false system resets during brief line/load transients while ensuring reliable rail monitoring. |
Pinout & Package
LMR36006BRNXR is housed in a 12-pin VQFN-HR (HotRod™) package measuring 2.00 mm × 3.00 mm with exposed thermal pad. The package enables low EMI, high efficiency, and minimal PCB area usage through flip-chip construction and optimized pin placement for low-inductance routing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pins 2, 10) | Primary input power supply | Accepts 4.2–60 V; requires low-ESR CIN connected with short, wide traces to minimize input ripple and EMI. |
| SW (Pin 12) | Switch node | Connects directly to power inductor; high dv/dt node-requires tight layout and minimal trace length to reduce ringing. |
| BOOT (Pin 4) | High-side gate driver supply | Requires 100-nF ceramic capacitor to SW; critical for proper high-side MOSFET turn-on and efficiency. |
| FB (Pin 7) | Feedback input | Monitors output voltage via resistive divider; 1.0 V reference enables accurate regulation across temperature. |
| PG (Pin 8) | Open-drain power-good flag | Signals valid output with built-in filtering; requires external pull-up to VCC or VOUT; asserts low on fault or EN deactivation. |
| EN (Pin 9) | Enable control input | Logic-level enable with precision thresholds (1.157–1.3 V high, 0.3 V low); supports direct VIN connection or external UVLO. |
| AGND (Pin 6) | Analog ground reference | Ground reference for FB, PG, EN, and internal references; must be tied to PGND at single point near device. |
| PGND (Pins 1, 11) | Power ground return | High-current return path for VIN, SW, and CIN; connects to system ground and AGND with low-inductance layout. |
| VCC (Pin 5) | Internal 5-V LDO output | Supplies internal circuitry; not for external loading; requires 1-µF bypass capacitor to AGND for stability. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LMR36006BRNXR?
The LMR36006BRNXR has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 66 V, with recommended operating range from 4.2 V to 60 V. This 66-V transient tolerance allows the device to withstand IEC 61000-4-5 surge events without external protection, simplifying design for industrial field equipment powered from unregulated 24 V or 48 V sources. Operation above 60 V is only permitted for short-duration transients.
Does LMR36006BRNXR require external compensation components?
No, the LMR36006BRNXR uses internal loop compensation, eliminating the need for external Type II or Type III compensation networks. This simplifies design, reduces BOM count, and improves consistency across production units. The device is optimized for standard output capacitor ESR ranges and works reliably with common ceramic or polymer capacitors without tuning.
How does the power-good (PG) flag behave during startup and fault conditions?
The LMR36006BRNXR PG pin is an open-drain output that goes high after soft-start completes (~4 ms delay from EN assertion) and remains high as long as output voltage stays within 93–107% of the target (based on FB reference). It pulls low during thermal shutdown, current-limit hiccup, undervoltage, or when EN is deasserted. A built-in 80–200 µs deglitch filter prevents false triggering from transient excursions.
Can LMR36006BRNXR operate with input voltages below 4.2 V?
No, the LMR36006BRNXR has a minimum recommended input voltage of 4.2 V. Below this, the internal control circuitry cannot maintain regulation or sustain switching operation. Attempting to operate below 4.2 V may result in dropout behavior, erratic PG flag output, or failure to start-even if the EN pin is asserted-due to insufficient headroom for the internal 5-V LDO and gate drivers.
What is the thermal performance of LMR36006BRNXR in its VQFN-HR package?
The LMR36006BRNXR in the 2-mm × 3-mm VQFN-HR package has a junction-to-board thermal resistance (RθJB) of 23.3°C/W and junction-to-ambient (RθJA) of 72.5°C/W under standard JEDEC PCB conditions. With proper thermal pad soldering and 2–4 thermal vias to inner ground planes, it sustains 0.6 A continuous output at ambient temperatures up to +85°C without derating in typical industrial layouts.
