Product details
Overview
LMR36006FSCQRNXTQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous step-down DC/DC converter delivering up to 0.6 A across 4.2 V–60 V input, featuring 2.1 MHz fixed switching frequency, spread-spectrum modulation, and FPWM operation mode. It integrates high-side and low-side MOSFETs in a 2 mm × 3 mm HotRod™ VQFN-HR package and supports adjustable output voltage with ±1.5% reference tolerance.
For engineers reviewing the LMR36006FSCQRNXTQ1 datasheet, LMR36006FSCQRNXTQ1 pinout, LMR36006FSCQRNXTQ1 application, or LMR36006FSCQRNXTQ1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its CISPR25 Class 5 EMI compliance, 26 µA quiescent current in PFM, thermal shutdown at 170°C, and power-good flag with built-in deglitching for reliable system monitoring in ADAS and body control modules.
Technical Context
The LMR36006FSCQRNXTQ1 uses peak-current-mode control with internal loop compensation, enabling stable regulation from 20 VIN to 5 VOUT at 2.1 MHz without external compensation components. Its FPWM mode ensures constant-frequency operation across full load range, eliminating audible noise and simplifying EMI filtering.
It implements dual current-limit protection: cycle-by-cycle high-side peak limit (0.8–1.2 A) and valley-based low-side limit (0.6–0.95 A), plus hiccup-mode short-circuit response with 94-ms off-time. The integrated 5-V VCC LDO powers internal circuitry and supports logic-level PG output, while precision enable thresholds allow direct VIN connection or programmable UVLO.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.2 V to 60 V - supports wide automotive battery transients including cold-crank (4.2 V) and load-dump (66 V absolute max) |
| Output Current | 0.6 A continuous - sufficient for powering camera ISPs, microcontrollers, and sensor interfaces in compact modules |
| Switching Frequency | 2.1 MHz (±10%) - enables use of small 1-µH inductors and reduces solution footprint vs. lower-frequency alternatives |
| Quiescent Current | 26 µA typical (PFM) - extends battery life in always-on vehicle systems such as parking cameras |
| Reference Voltage Tolerance | ±1.5% - ensures tight output regulation accuracy over temperature and line/load variations |
| Efficiency @ 12 VIN/5 VOUT | 94% at 0.6 A - minimizes thermal stress in sealed enclosures like ADAS camera housings |
| EMI Performance | CISPR25 Class 5 compliant - meets stringent automotive radiated emissions requirements without added shielding |
Pinout & Package
The LMR36006FSCQRNXTQ1 is housed in a 12-pin VQFN-HR (RNX) package measuring 2.00 mm × 3.00 mm with wettable flanks for automated optical inspection. Thermal resistance is RθJA = 72.5°C/W (JEDEC High-K board).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 11 | PGND | Power ground return path for high-current switch node; must be tied to AGND and CIN with low-inductance layout |
| 2, 10 | VIN | Main input supply rail; connects directly to bulk input capacitor with minimal trace length and width |
| 3 | NC | No internal connection; used on PCB to simplify CBOOT-to-SW routing per TI layout guidance |
| 4 | BOOT | Bootstrap supply for high-side driver; requires 100-nF ceramic capacitor to SW pin |
| 5 | VCC | Internal 5-V LDO output; powers control circuitry and can source PG pull-up; bypass with 1-µF capacitor |
| 6 | AGND | Analog ground reference for FB, EN, and internal references; isolated from PGND at single-point star ground |
| 7 | FB | Feedback input for output voltage regulation; connects to resistor divider or fixed 3.3-V output node |
| 8 | PG | Open-drain power-good flag; asserts high after soft-start when VOUT reaches 93–107% of target; requires external pull-up |
| 9 | EN | Enable input with precision thresholds (1.157–1.3 V turn-on); supports direct VIN tie or external UVLO divider |
| 12 | SW | Switch node connecting to power inductor; high dv/dt node requiring minimized loop area and guard ring |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| HotRod™ package with wettable flanks | Reduces parasitic inductance by >50% vs. standard QFN, suppressing switch-node ringing and easing CISPR25 Class 5 compliance |
| Spread-spectrum modulation (±4%) | Lowers peak EMI emissions by spreading energy across 16-kHz triangular band, reducing filter component count and cost |
| FPWM operation mode | Maintains fixed 2.1-MHz switching across entire 0–0.6-A load range, eliminating frequency variation-induced noise and ripple concerns |
| Integrated power-good flag with deglitching | Provides system-level fault detection with 80–200-µs built-in delay, eliminating need for external supervisor IC or RC timing network |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Shuts down at 170°C and recovers at 158°C, preventing thermal runaway during sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
Applications
| ADAS Camera Module | Body Control Module (BCM) |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LMR36006FSCQRNXTQ1?
The LMR36006FSCQRNXTQ1 has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 66 V, with recommended operating range from 4.2 V to 60 V. This accommodates automotive battery transients such as cold-crank (down to 4.2 V) and load-dump events (up to 60 V nominal, 66 V absolute). Operation beyond 60 V is not recommended for sustained use, though the device survives brief transients per AEC-Q100 stress testing protocols.
Does the LMR36006FSCQRNXTQ1 support fixed-output voltage configurations?
The LMR36006FSCQRNXTQ1 is configured for adjustable output voltage only. However, TI offers the pin-compatible LMR36006FSC3RNXTQ1 variant with factory-trimmed 3.3-V fixed output. Both share identical 2.1-MHz FPWM operation, spread spectrum, and thermal specs-but the LMR36006FSCQRNXTQ1 requires external feedback resistors to set VOUT, offering design flexibility for non-standard rail voltages.
How does the power-good (PG) flag behave during startup and fault conditions for the LMR36006FSCQRNXTQ1?
The LMR36006FSCQRNXTQ1 PG flag asserts high after ~4 ms from EN assertion, once VOUT reaches 93–107% of target and remains stable for ≥80 µs. It goes low during thermal shutdown, current-limit hiccup, or EN deactivation. When EN is pulled low, PG stays valid down to 2 VIN; if unused, PG must be grounded-not left floating-to prevent undefined behavior.
What thermal metrics apply to the LMR36006FSCQRNXTQ1 in its VQFN-HR package?
The LMR36006FSCQRNXTQ1 in the 2 mm × 3 mm VQFN-HR (RNX) package has RθJA = 72.5°C/W (JEDEC High-K board), RθJC(top) = 35.9°C/W, and RθJB = 23.3°C/W. Its thermal shutdown activates at 170°C junction temperature and recovers at 158°C. These values assume proper PCB copper pour (≥4 cm² thermal pad connected to internal ground plane) and are validated per JEDEC JESD51 standards.
Can the LMR36006FSCQRNXTQ1 operate in forced PWM (FPWM) mode across all load conditions?
Yes-the LMR36006FSCQRNXTQ1 operates exclusively in FPWM mode, maintaining constant 2.1-MHz switching from zero load to full 0.6-A output. Unlike auto-mode buck converters, it does not transition to PFM at light loads, ensuring predictable EMI profile and eliminating low-frequency output ripple. This makes it ideal for noise-sensitive applications like camera power where spectral content must remain above 2 MHz.
