Product details
Overview
LMR36500F5RPER from Texas Instruments is a 3-V to 65-V, 50-mA synchronous buck DC/DC converter in a 2-mm × 2-mm HotRod™ VQFN-HR package, featuring fixed 5-V output, FPWM light-load operation, adjustable switching frequency (200 kHz–2.2 MHz), and –40°C to +150°C junction temperature range. It delivers >80% peak efficiency at 1 MHz and supports industrial field transmitters and HVAC sensors.
For engineers reviewing the LMR36500F5RPER datasheet, LMR36500F5RPER pinout, LMR36500F5RPER application, or LMR36500F5RPER equivalent, key selection criteria include input transient tolerance (70 V), precision EN/UVLO thresholds (1.16–1.36 V), PGOOD glitch-filtered timing (15–40 µs), internal compensation for minimal output capacitance, and thermal shutdown at 158–180°C.
Technical Context
The LMR36500F5RPER uses peak current mode control with internal compensation, enabling stable regulation with minimal external output capacitance. Its FPWM light-load mode ensures consistent switching frequency under all load conditions, eliminating audible noise and simplifying EMI filtering.
It integrates a high-side MOSFET (5 Ω RDS(on)) and low-side MOSFET (3.5 Ω RDS(on)), precision enable comparator (1.263 V typical threshold), and open-drain PGOOD with built-in 25-µs glitch filter and 1.956-ms activation delay. The RT pin supports resistor-programmable frequency from 200 kHz to 2.2 MHz.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage transient the LMR36500F5RPER can survive?
The LMR36500F5RPER is rated to withstand input voltage transients up to 70 V without damage or latch-up, exceeding its 65-V maximum operating input voltage. This capability is validated per absolute maximum ratings and supports reliable operation in industrial 24-V and 48-V bus environments subject to inductive switching spikes. The LMR36500F5RPER maintains regulation during such events when properly decoupled with appropriate input capacitance.
Does the LMR36500F5RPER require external feedback resistors for 5-V output?
No, the LMR36500F5RPER provides a fixed 5-V output and does not require external feedback resistors. Its VOUT/FB pin is internally configured for 5-V regulation with ±1.5% accuracy across temperature and load. This eliminates two passive components, reduces layout area, and improves manufacturing yield compared to adjustable variants like LMR36500F5RPE.
How does the FPWM mode of the LMR36500F5RPER differ from PFM in practical design?
The LMR36500F5RPER operates in forced pulse-width modulation (FPWM) mode, maintaining constant switching frequency across all load conditions-including light loads. This avoids audible noise and simplifies EMI filter design, unlike PFM variants (e.g., LMR36500P5RPE) that skip pulses at light loads, causing variable frequency and potential interference in sensitive analog circuits.
What thermal performance can be expected from the LMR36500F5RPER in a standard 4-layer PCB?
In a JEDEC-standard 4-layer board, the LMR36500F5RPER exhibits a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 85.7°C/W. With its 150°C maximum junction temperature and typical 50-mA load, it sustains full operation up to ~85°C ambient without derating. Thermal shutdown activates at 158–180°C with 8–15°C hysteresis, ensuring safe recovery after overload conditions.
Can the LMR36500F5RPER be synchronized to an external clock?
No, the LMR36500F5RPER does not support external clock synchronization. It features only the RT pin for resistor-programmed frequency adjustment (200 kHz–2.2 MHz) and lacks a MODE/SYNC pin. For synchronizable alternatives, consider the LMR36506 series or other TI buck regulators explicitly listing "external sync" in their device comparison table.
