Product details
Overview
LMR36502F3RPER from Texas Instruments is a 3.3-V fixed-output, 150-mA synchronous buck DC/DC converter in a 2-mm × 2-mm HotRod™ VQFN-HR (RPE) package. It operates from 3.0 V (falling threshold) to 65 V input, delivers >80% peak efficiency at 1 MHz, and features FPWM light-load operation, precision EN/UVLO with 0.35-V hysteresis, and integrated PGOOD with glitch filtering - deployed in field transmitters, HVAC sensors, and portable power tools.
For engineers reviewing the LMR36502F3RPER datasheet, LMR36502F3RPER pinout, LMR36502F3RPER application, or LMR36502F3RPER equivalent, key selection criteria include its 150-mA rated current, 3.3-V fixed output accuracy (±1.5% in FPWM mode), 200 kHz–2.2 MHz adjustable switching frequency via RT pin, –40°C to +150°C junction temperature range, and 70-V input transient tolerance.
Technical Context
The LMR36502F3RPER uses peak current mode control with internal compensation, enabling stable regulation with minimal external output capacitance. Its FPWM mode ensures constant-frequency operation across all loads, eliminating audible noise and simplifying EMI filtering.
It integrates a high-side MOSFET (2.2 Ω RDS(on)) and low-side MOSFET (1 Ω RDS(on)), supports boot capacitor recharge via VBOOT-UVLO (2.3 V threshold), and implements thermal shutdown at 168°C with 10°C hysteresis. The RT pin enables precise frequency programming from 200 kHz to 2.2 MHz using a single resistor to GND.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMR36502P3RPER | Same 150-mA rating and package, but uses PFM light-load mode instead of FPWM - higher light-load efficiency but variable frequency | Better suited for energy-harvesting or ultra-low-power sleep-mode applications where EMI is less critical | Select LMR36502P3RPER if minimizing no-load current (<6.5 µA) is prioritized over EMI predictability |
| LMR36503F3RPER | Pin-compatible 300-mA variant with identical 3.3-V fixed output, same RT/PGOOD/EN pinout, and extended thermal margin | Required when future-proofing for higher current peripherals (e.g., adding CAN transceiver or extra sensors) | Select LMR36503F3RPER if system load may exceed 150 mA or long-term reliability under sustained 125°C ambient is needed |
Compared with LMR36502P3RPER, the LMR36502F3RPER trades light-load efficiency for deterministic EMI behavior; compared with LMR36503F3RPER, it offers lower cost and thermal footprint where 150 mA suffices - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained industrial edge nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage transient the LMR36502F3RPER can survive?
The LMR36502F3RPER is rated for input transients up to 70 V, exceeding its 65-V maximum operating input voltage. This capability allows it to withstand automotive load-dump events and industrial power-rail surges without requiring external TVS diodes - a key reliability feature confirmed in Section 7.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings of the datasheet. The LMR36502F3RPER maintains functional integrity during these transients when properly decoupled.
Does the LMR36502F3RPER require external feedback resistors for its 3.3-V output?
No, the LMR36502F3RPER features a fixed 3.3-V output configuration, meaning the VOUT/FB pin is internally connected to the 3.3-V reference - no external resistor divider is needed. This is explicitly stated in the Device Comparison Table and Pin Functions table, where VOUT/FB is described as "Fixed output options… Connect to the output voltage node for fixed VOUT." The LMR36502F3RPER simplifies layout and reduces BOM count versus adjustable variants.
What switching frequency options does the LMR36502F3RPER support, and how is it set?
The LMR36502F3RPER supports an externally programmable switching frequency from 200 kHz to 2.2 MHz using a single resistor from the RT pin to GND. Its default frequency is 1 MHz when RT is tied to VCC, and 2.2 MHz when RT is grounded - both values verified in Section 7.5 Electrical Characteristics. The LMR36502F3RPER's RT pin must never be left floating, and resistor selection must follow TI's published design equations to avoid instability.
How does the PGOOD function of the LMR36502F3RPER differ from basic power-good flags?
The LMR36502F3RPER's PGOOD pin includes a built-in 25-µs glitch filter and a 1.96-ms delayed release time, ensuring only sustained output regulation triggers the flag - eliminating false positives from startup overshoot or brief line disturbances. As specified in Section 7.5, PGOOD asserts high only after VOUT reaches 107% of nominal and remains stable, and deasserts only after falling below 94%. This eliminates need for external supervisors in most industrial applications.
Is the LMR36502F3RPER pin-compatible with other members of the LMR3650x family?
Yes, the LMR36502F3RPER shares identical pinout, package (VQFN-HR RPE), and footprint with LMR36501, LMR36503, and LMR36506 variants - confirmed in the Device Comparison Table and Pin Configuration section. This enables scalable power design: users can upgrade from 100 mA (LMR36501) to 300 mA (LMR36503) without PCB revision. However, current-limiting and thermal performance differ, so layout copper and thermal relief must be validated per variant.
