Product details
Overview
LMR36502P3RPER from Texas Instruments is a 65-V input, 150-mA synchronous buck DC/DC converter in a 2-mm × 2-mm HotRod™ VQFN-HR package, delivering fixed 3.3-V output with ±1.5% accuracy in FPWM mode, peak efficiency >80% at 1 MHz, and operation across –40°C to +150°C junction temperature - used in field transmitters and HVAC sensors requiring rugged, compact power conversion.
For engineers reviewing the LMR36502P3RPER datasheet, LMR36502P3RPER pinout, LMR36502P3RPER application, or LMR36502P3RPER equivalent, key selection considerations include its PFM light-load efficiency mode, RT-pin programmable 200 kHz–2.2 MHz switching frequency, precision EN/UVLO with 0.35-V hysteresis, open-drain PGOOD with glitch filtering, and 70-V input transient tolerance.
Technical Context
The LMR36502P3RPER uses peak current mode control with internal compensation, enabling stable regulation with minimal external output capacitance. Its auto-mode operation dynamically transitions between PFM and FPWM based on load, optimizing efficiency across 0–150 mA while maintaining tight output voltage regulation.
It integrates high-side and low-side MOSFETs with 2.2 Ω and 1 Ω typical RDS(on), supports boot capacitor recharge via VBOOT-UVLO (2.3 V threshold), and features thermal shutdown at 168°C with 10°C hysteresis. The RT pin allows resistor-based frequency programming without external clock sources.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.6 V to 65 V operating; withstands 70-V transients - enables direct connection to industrial 24-V/48-V rails with surge margin. |
| Output Current | 0–150 mA continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, analog sensors, and signal chains in space-constrained modules. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±1.5% (FPWM) - eliminates external feedback resistors and simplifies layout for standard logic supply rails. |
| Switching Frequency | 200 kHz to 2.2 MHz (RT-programmable) - allows EMI optimization and inductor size reduction without changing PCB layout. |
| Quiescent Current | 4 µA at 24-V input, 0-A load (PFM) - extends battery life in always-on industrial monitoring nodes. |
| Junction Temperature | –40°C to +150°C - supports operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient environments like factory floors. |
| Package | 2-mm × 2-mm VQFN-HR (RPE, 9-pin) with HotRod™ construction - minimizes parasitic inductance and improves thermal performance over standard QFN. |
Pinout & Package
LMR36502P3RPER is housed in a 2-mm × 2-mm, 9-pin VQFN-HR (RPE) package with wettable flanks and corner anchor pads for enhanced solder joint reliability and automated optical inspection (AOI) compatibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RT | Frequency programming input | Connect resistor to GND to set switching frequency from 200 kHz to 2.2 MHz; floating prohibited. |
| 2 - PGOOD | Open-drain power-good flag | Signals valid output after soft-start delay (1.96 ms typical); includes 25-µs glitch filter and delayed release. |
| 3 - EN/UVLO | Enable and precision undervoltage lockout | Wakes at 0.4 V, activates at 1.263 V with 0.35-V hysteresis; supports remote UVLO via external resistor divider. |
| 4 - VIN | Main power input | Accepts 3.6–65 V; requires local high-quality bypass capacitor directly to GND for stability and EMI suppression. |
| 5 - SW | Power switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt; minimized ringing reduces conducted and radiated EMI. |
| 6 - BOOT | Bootstrap supply | Requires 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor to SW; enables high-side MOSFET drive; UVLO triggers at 2.3 V. |
| 7 - VCC | Internal LDO output | 3.15-V regulated supply for control circuitry; not for external loads; requires 1-µF decoupling to GND. |
| 8 - VOUT/FB | Output voltage sense / feedback | Configured as fixed 3.3-V output; no external resistors needed; internal reference = 1.0 V ±1%. |
| 9 - GND | Power ground | Common return for VIN, SW, and VCC; must connect to CIN with short, wide traces to minimize noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage transient the LMR36502P3RPER can withstand?
The LMR36502P3RPER 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 allows direct connection to 48-V industrial buses with built-in surge margin, eliminating the need for external TVS diodes in many applications. The device maintains regulation during such transients due to robust internal FETs and gate drive design.
Does the LMR36502P3RPER require external compensation components?
No, the LMR36502P3RPER uses peak current mode control with internal compensation, so no external compensation network is required. This simplifies design and reduces solution size - only input and output capacitors, an inductor, and optional RT resistor are needed. The internal loop is optimized for stability with minimal output capacitance (as low as 10 µF), making it ideal for space-constrained industrial modules.
How does the PGOOD pin on the LMR36502P3RPER behave during startup?
The PGOOD pin on the LMR36502P3RPER asserts high after a typical 1.96-ms delay following soft-start completion, indicating that the output has reached ≥90% of target voltage and remains within regulation. It includes a 25-µs glitch filter and delayed release to prevent false toggling during load transients. When EN is pulled low, PGOOD immediately goes low, providing reliable system-level power sequencing without external supervision.
Can the LMR36502P3RPER operate efficiently at very light loads?
Yes, the LMR36502P3RPER operates in PFM (pulse-frequency modulation) mode at light loads (<10 mA), achieving >80% efficiency even at 100-µA output current. Its 4-µA quiescent current at 24-V input and zero load ensures minimal standby power draw - critical for battery-powered field instruments and always-on sensor nodes where energy conservation is essential.
What is the purpose of the RT pin on the LMR36502P3RPER?
The RT pin on the LMR36502P3RPER allows resistor-based programming of the switching frequency from 200 kHz to 2.2 MHz. Connecting a resistor from RT to GND sets the oscillator frequency; for example, tying RT to VCC yields ~1 MHz. This flexibility enables EMI optimization, inductor size reduction, and noise avoidance in sensitive analog or RF subsystems - all without modifying the PCB layout or requiring external clock sources.
