Product details
Overview
LMR36015SBRNXR from Texas Instruments is a synchronous step-down DC/DC converter delivering 1.5 A output current across 4.2 V to 60 V input, featuring 1-MHz fixed-frequency operation, –55°C to +150°C junction temperature rating, and integrated high-side/low-side MOSFETs in a 2-mm × 3-mm HotRod™ VQFN-HR package. It serves as a rugged primary or intermediate power rail in industrial field transmitters, PLC modules, and HVAC controllers.
For engineers reviewing the LMR36015SBRNXR datasheet, LMR36015SBRNXR pinout, LMR36015SBRNXR application, or LMR36015SBRNXR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1-MHz switching frequency, FPWM-disabled configuration (per orderable variant), 26 µA quiescent current, CISPR25 Class 5 EMI compliance, and validated –55°C cold-start capability for aerospace and transport electronics.
Technical Context
The LMR36015SBRNXR uses peak-current-mode control with internal loop compensation and operates exclusively in forced PWM (FPWM disabled) mode-confirmed by its orderable part number suffix "BRNXR" in TI's device comparison table. Its 1-MHz oscillator frequency is factory-trimmed (±15% over temperature), and it integrates 435-mΩ high-side and 280-mΩ low-side MOSFETs enabling 0.4-V dropout at 1.5-A load.
It features precision enable thresholds (VEN-VOUT-H = 1.231 V typ.), a filtered open-drain power-good flag with 140-µs deglitch delay, and thermal shutdown at 170°C with 12°C hysteresis. Input transient tolerance up to 66 V and –55°C operational rating are validated in absolute maximum and recommended operating conditions tables.
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 surge tolerance. |
| Output Current | 1.5 A continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and analog front-ends in space-constrained modules. |
| Switching Frequency | 1 MHz ±15% - enables compact magnetics and fast transient response; fixed-frequency operation eliminates PFM frequency variation. |
| Quiescent Current | 26 µA typ. - minimizes standby power loss in battery-backed or energy-harvested field devices. |
| Junction Temperature | –55°C to +150°C - qualified for extreme environments including aerospace, rail, and outdoor industrial enclosures. |
| EMI Performance | CISPR25 Class 5 compliant - meets stringent automotive and industrial radiated emissions limits without added filtering. |
| Package | VQFN-HR (RNX), 2.0 mm × 3.0 mm - HotRod™ flip-chip construction reduces switch-node ringing and parasitic inductance. |
Pinout & Package
VQFN-HR (RNX) 12-pin thermally enhanced package, 2.00 mm × 3.00 mm body size, exposed thermal pad on underside for PCB heat sinking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 11 PGND | Power ground | Low-inductance return path for high-current switching; must be connected directly to AGND and CIN ground plane with wide copper. |
| 2, 10 VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 4.2–60 V; withstands 66-V transients; requires low-ESR input capacitor placed adjacent to pins 2/10. |
| 3 NC | No connect | Internally unconnected; used on PCB to simplify CBOOT-to-SW routing per TI layout guidance. |
| 4 BOOT | Bootstrap supply | Drives high-side MOSFET gate; requires 100-nF ceramic capacitor between BOOT and SW pins. |
| 5 VCC | Internal 5-V LDO output | Powers internal logic; not for external loads; requires 1-µF decoupling to AGND. |
| 6 AGND | Analog ground reference | Ground for FB, EN, PG; must be star-connected to PGND near IC to avoid noise coupling into feedback path. |
| 7 FB | Feedback input | Monitors output via resistor divider; 1.0-V reference enables precise adjustable VOUT; leakage <0.2 nA ensures accuracy. |
| 8 PG | Open-drain power-good flag | Signals VOUT regulation status; 140-µs deglitch prevents false trips during transients; requires external pull-up. |
| 9 EN | Enable control | Logic-level input with 1.231-V turn-on threshold; supports direct VIN connection or precision UVLO via resistor divider. |
| 12 SW | Switch node | Connects to power inductor; high di/dt node requiring minimal trace length and tight loop with PGND and CIN. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| HotRod™ VQFN-HR package | Eliminates bond wires to reduce parasitic inductance, suppress switch-node ringing, and improve EMI performance. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMR36015SFBRNXR | Same silicon, but factory-configured for forced PWM (FPWM enabled); 1-MHz operation retained. | Required where constant-frequency operation is mandatory under all load conditions-including light loads. | Select LMR36015SFBRNXR only if diode emulation must be disabled to meet timing-critical or EMI spectral mask constraints. |
| LMR36006SARNXR | 60-V, 0.6-A variant; pin-compatible but lower current rating and 400-kHz default frequency. | Suitable for ultra-low-power sensor nodes where <600 mA output suffices and larger inductors are acceptable. | Choose LMR36006SARNXR when system load is ≤0.6 A and 400-kHz switching better matches EMI or efficiency targets at light loads. |
Compared with LMR36015SFBRNXR, the LMR36015SBRNXR offers higher light-load efficiency via PFM mode but sacrifices strict frequency stability; versus LMR36006SARNXR, it delivers 2.5× more output current in identical footprint while maintaining the same thermal and environmental robustness.

FAQ
What is the switching frequency of the LMR36015SBRNXR?
The LMR36015SBRNXR operates at a fixed 1-MHz switching frequency, as confirmed by TI's device comparison table and electrical characteristics section. This frequency is factory-trimmed with ±15% tolerance over temperature and load. Unlike PFM-capable variants, LMR36015SBRNXR does not shift frequency at light loads-ensuring predictable EMI behavior and simplified filter design in noise-sensitive applications.
Does the LMR36015SBRNXR support operation at –55°C?
Yes, the LMR36015SBRNXR is fully specified and tested for operation from –55°C to +150°C junction temperature, as stated in both absolute maximum ratings and recommended operating conditions. This qualification enables use in aerospace, rail, and outdoor industrial equipment where cold-soak start-up is required. The device maintains 1.5-A output capability down to –40°C ambient, with appropriate derating per thermal metrics.
What is the purpose of the NC pin on the LMR36015SBRNXR?
Pin 3 on the LMR36015SBRNXR is designated NC (no connect) and has no internal connection. TI recommends connecting the SW pin to this NC pad on the PCB to simplify routing of the CBOOT capacitor from BOOT to SW-a layout technique that minimizes loop inductance and improves EMI performance. This mechanical routing aid does not affect electrical functionality.
How does the power-good (PG) flag behave during startup of the LMR36015SBRNXR?
The LMR36015SBRNXR's open-drain PG flag asserts high after a typical 4-ms delay following EN assertion, once output voltage reaches 105% of the FB reference (1.05 V). It remains high while VOUT stays within 93–107% of regulation. During startup, PG is held low until soft-start completes and regulation is achieved-providing clean system reset signaling without false triggers from output overshoot or transient excursions.
Is the LMR36015SBRNXR pin-compatible with other devices in the LMR360x5S family?
Yes, the LMR36015SBRNXR shares the same 12-pin VQFN-HR (RNX) package and pinout with LMR36015SFBRNXR and LMR36006SARNXR, enabling drop-in replacement within the family. This allows scalable power design: LMR36006SARNXR (0.6 A) and LMR36015SBRNXR (1.5 A) share identical footprints and layout, simplifying BOM rationalization and reducing redesign effort when upgrading output current.
