Product details
Overview
LMR36501F5RPER from Texas Instruments is a 100-mA, 3-V to 65-V synchronous buck DC/DC converter in a 2-mm × 2-mm HotRod™ VQFN-HR (RPE) package, delivering fixed 5-V output with ±1.5% accuracy in FPWM mode, 80%+ peak efficiency at 1 MHz, and input transient tolerance up to 70 V. It serves as a compact, rugged front-end power regulator for industrial sensors and portable electronics requiring stable low-current bias rails.
For engineers reviewing the LMR36501F5RPER datasheet, LMR36501F5RPER pinout, LMR36501F5RPER application, or LMR36501F5RPER equivalent, key selection considerations include its FPWM light-load operation, RT-pin programmable frequency (200 kHz–2.2 MHz), precision EN/UVLO thresholds (1.16–1.36 V enable high), PGOOD with glitch filtering, and –40°C to +150°C junction temperature rating.
Technical Context
The LMR36501F5RPER implements peak current mode control with internal compensation, enabling stable regulation using minimal external output capacitance. Its architecture supports automatic frequency foldback during input transients or dropout conditions to maintain duty cycle integrity.
It integrates a high-side MOSFET (2.2 Ω RDS(on)) and low-side MOSFET (1 Ω RDS(on)), precision reference (0.985–1.01 V), and dedicated BOOT, VCC, and RT pins for bootstrap management and frequency tuning. The EN/UVLO pin provides remote undervoltage lockout with 0.35 V hysteresis and wake-up threshold at 0.4 V.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMR36501P5RPER | Same 100-mA, 5-V fixed output, but uses PFM (not FPWM) light-load mode - higher light-load efficiency but variable frequency. | Better for ultra-low-power sleep modes where EMI is secondary; unsuitable where constant-frequency operation is required. | Select LMR36501F5RPER when fixed-frequency ripple control or noise immunity is mandatory; choose P5RPER only if lowest IQ dominates design priority. |
| LMR36502F5RPER | 150-mA version with identical 5-V fixed output, FPWM mode, and pinout - higher current capability and slightly different current limits (ISC = 210–298 mA). | Supports higher-output peripherals (e.g., dual-band BLE + NFC) without redesign; same PCB layout but higher thermal margin. | Choose LMR36502F5RPER if future-proofing for 120–150 mA loads is needed; LMR36501F5RPER remains optimal for cost- and size-constrained 100-mA designs. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage transient the LMR36501F5RPER can survive?
The LMR36501F5RPER is rated to withstand input voltage transients up to 70 V without damage or malfunction, while maintaining continuous operation across its specified 3.0-V (falling) to 65-V operating range. This capability is validated per absolute maximum ratings and enables direct connection to industrial 24-V or 48-V buses subject to load dump or inductive kick events. The LMR36501F5RPER incorporates internal protection circuits that clamp and sustain such transients without requiring external TVS diodes in many implementations.
Does the LMR36501F5RPER require external feedback resistors for its 5-V output?
No, the LMR36501F5RPER is a fixed 5-V output variant - the VOUT/FB pin is internally configured to deliver 5 V ±1.5% in FPWM mode, eliminating the need for external feedback resistors. This simplifies layout, reduces BOM count, and improves accuracy by removing resistor tolerance and thermal drift errors. The device's internal reference voltage is tightly regulated at 0.985–1.01 V, and the feedback input current is ≤30 nA, ensuring negligible loading error on the output node.
How does the EN/UVLO pin function on the LMR36501F5RPER?
The EN/UVLO pin on the LMR36501F5RPER provides precision enable control with three distinct states: shutdown (VEN < 0.4 V), standby (0.4 V ≤ VEN < 1.16 V), and active regulation (VEN ≥ 1.16 V). It features 0.285–0.425 V hysteresis to prevent chatter during brownout conditions and supports remote undervoltage detection when used with external resistor dividers. The pin is high-voltage tolerant (up to 70 V), allowing direct connection to VIN without level-shifting - a key enabler for simple, robust power sequencing in industrial systems.
What is the purpose of the RT pin on the LMR36501F5RPER?
The RT pin on the LMR36501F5RPER sets the switching frequency from 200 kHz to 2.2 MHz by connecting an external resistor between RT and GND. This resistor value determines oscillator timing without requiring external clock sources or complex configuration. For example, tying RT to VCC yields ~1 MHz operation, while a 39.2-kΩ resistor achieves ~400 kHz. The RT pin must never be left floating, as this may cause unpredictable frequency behavior or instability. Frequency selection directly impacts inductor size, EMI profile, and light-load efficiency trade-offs.
Can the LMR36501F5RPER be used in automotive applications?
The LMR36501F5RPER is not AEC-Q200 qualified and lacks automotive-specific qualification, but its –40°C to +150°C junction temperature rating, 70-V transient tolerance, and robust EN/UVLO functionality make it suitable for certain under-hood or infotainment auxiliary power applications where full automotive qualification is not mandated. It has been deployed in industrial vehicle telematics and off-road equipment power supplies. For production automotive ECUs, TI recommends AEC-Q100-qualified alternatives such as the LM61480-Q1; the LMR36501F5RPER should undergo full system-level validation for each intended automotive use case.
