Product details
Overview
LMR36503MSC5RPERQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive-grade synchronous buck converter delivering 5 V fixed output at up to 0.3 A, with 3.0–65 V input range, 2.2 MHz fixed switching frequency, and 4 µA quiescent current in switching mode (VIN = 24 V → VOUT = 3.3 V). It integrates internal compensation, PGOOD flag, and spread-spectrum EMI reduction for ADAS power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LMR36503MSC5RPERQ1 datasheet, LMR36503MSC5RPERQ1 pinout, LMR36503MSC5RPERQ1 application, or LMR36503MSC5RPERQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive-grade thermal and ESD specs, and real-world application constraints - all aligned to TI's production data sheet SNVSBB5B (Rev. B, Sep 2020).
Technical Context
The LMR36503MSC5RPERQ1 uses peak current-mode control with internal compensation and supports seamless FPWM-to-PFM transition for light-load efficiency. Its MODE/SYNC pin enables external clock synchronization and selectable PFM/FPWM operation, while pseudo-random spread spectrum reduces peak EMI emissions per CISPR 25 Class 5.
It operates across –40°C to +125°C ambient (–40°C to +150°C junction), withstands 70 V input transients, and features integrated high- and low-side MOSFETs with RDS(on) of 560–920 mΩ (HS) and 280–460 mΩ (LS). The device includes thermal shutdown (158–180°C rising), precise enable thresholds (VEN-VOUT = 1.16–1.36 V), and a 2.2 MHz fixed oscillator (RT pin unconnected, factory-trimmed).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.0 V (falling threshold) to 65 V - sustains regulation during cold-crank sags down to 3.0 V and handles load-dump transients up to 70 V. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0 V ±1.5% (FPWM mode) - eliminates external feedback divider; initial accuracy ensures stable MCU/ASIC bias without calibration. |
| Max Output Current | 0.3 A continuous DC - rated for sustained operation with derating above 125°C junction temperature. |
| Quiescent Current | 4 µA (switching, VIN = 24 V → 3.3 V) - enables >70% efficiency at 5 mA load, critical for always-on automotive modules. |
| Switching Frequency | Fixed 2.2 MHz - avoids AM band interference; enables compact 1.0 µH inductor and small ceramic output capacitors. |
| EMI Performance | Pseudo-random spread spectrum (±2% span, ~1.2 Hz pattern) - meets CISPR 25 Class 5 without common-mode chokes or shielding. |
| Package | VQFN-HR (RPE), 2 mm × 2 mm, 9-pin, wettable flanks - supports automated optical inspection and robust solder joint reliability in automotive reflow profiles. |
Pinout & Package
VQFN-HR (RPE) package: 2.00 mm × 2.00 mm body, 9-pin, exposed thermal pad, wettable flanks. Pin 1 is trimmed and factory-set for MODE/SYNC variant (not RT); Pin 8 is factory-set for fixed 5 V output (VOUT/BIAS).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - MODE/SYNC | Configurable digital interface | Selects PFM/FPWM mode or synchronizes to external clock (0.2–2.2 MHz); must not be floated. |
| 2 - PGOOD | Open-drain status flag | Signals valid output (106–110% / 93–96.5% thresholds); replaces external supervisor IC in most systems. |
| 3 - EN/UVLO | Enable & undervoltage lockout | Starts regulation when VIN ≥ 3.5 V (rising) and EN ≥ 1.16 V; shuts down below 0.4 V (wake threshold). |
| 4 - VIN | Main power input | Accepts 3–65 V; requires local high-quality bypass capacitor directly to GND for transient immunity. |
| 5 - SW | Power switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt; layout demands short, wide traces to minimize EMI and voltage spikes. |
| 6 - BOOT | Bootstrap supply | Drives high-side MOSFET gate; requires 100 nF ceramic capacitor between BOOT and SW. |
| 7 - VCC | Internal LDO output | Supplies internal logic (3.125–3.22 V); decouple with 1 µF to GND; do not load externally. |
| 8 - VOUT/BIAS | Fixed-output voltage sense | Internally connected to 5 V regulator output; used for feedback in fixed-VOUT variants (no external resistor needed). |
| 9 - GND | Power ground | Primary return path; connect to CIN with short, wide trace; tie to system ground plane under thermal pad. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMR36503MSC3RPERQ1 | Fixed 3.3 V output; identical pinout, package, and feature set except VOUT/BIAS pin factory-set to 3.3 V. | Used where 3.3 V logic rail is required instead of 5 V - no change to PCB layout or external components. | Select when target SoC or peripheral requires 3.3 V instead of 5 V; same thermal, EMI, and efficiency profile. |
| LMR36506MSC5RPERQ1 | 65 V, 0.6 A version; pin-compatible with LMR36503MSC5RPERQ1 but higher current capability and different RDS(on) (HS: 320–520 mΩ). | Suitable for higher-power loads (e.g., radar SoCs) where 0.3 A is insufficient; requires verification of thermal margin and inductor saturation. | Choose when load current exceeds 0.3 A; retains same footprint and MODE/SYNC functionality but doubles output capability. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the LMR36503MSC5RPERQ1 can withstand?
The LMR36503MSC5RPERQ1 has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 70 V and operates continuously from 3.0 V (falling threshold) to 65 V. It is designed to survive automotive load-dump transients and cold-crank sags without latch-up or damage, making it suitable for 12 V and 24 V battery systems with harsh voltage excursions.
Does the LMR36503MSC5RPERQ1 require external compensation components?
No, the LMR36503MSC5RPERQ1 uses internal compensation optimized for minimal output capacitance. For the fixed 5 V output variant, no external compensation network is needed - only input and output ceramic capacitors, inductor, BOOT capacitor, and optional EN pull-up resistor are required.
How does the PGOOD function work on the LMR36503MSC5RPERQ1?
The LMR36503MSC5RPERQ1 PGOOD pin is an open-drain flag that asserts high when output voltage reaches 106–110% of nominal 5 V and deasserts low when falling below 93–96.5%. With a 2.16 ms activation delay and 25 µs glitch filter, it replaces external supervisors in most automotive designs, simplifying power sequencing and fault detection.
Can the LMR36503MSC5RPERQ1 be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes - the MODE/SYNC pin on the LMR36503MSC5RPERQ1 accepts an external clock signal from 0.2 MHz to 2.2 MHz, enabling synchronization to system clocks to avoid beat frequencies and reduce EMI peaks. When not synchronized, it operates in user-selectable PFM/FPWM mode with automatic light-load efficiency optimization.
What is the thermal performance of the LMR36503MSC5RPERQ1 in a typical 4-layer PCB layout?
In a standard JEDEC 4-layer board simulation, the LMR36503MSC5RPERQ1 exhibits a junction-to-board thermal resistance (RθJB) of 26.1°C/W and junction-to-ambient (RθJA) of 84.4°C/W. With proper copper pour under the thermal pad and 2 oz. inner layers, it sustains 0.3 A continuous output at +85°C ambient without thermal shutdown.
