Product details
Overview
LMR36503MSCQRPERQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous buck converter delivering 0.3 A output at 3.3 V or 5 V fixed/adjustable voltages, operating from 3.0 V to 65 V input with 4 µA switching quiescent current and 2.2 MHz fixed-frequency operation in a 2-mm × 2-mm HotRod™ VQFN-HR (9-pin) package - optimized for ADAS power rails requiring cold-crank resilience and low EMI.
For engineers reviewing the LMR36503MSCQRPERQ1 datasheet, LMR36503MSCQRPERQ1 pinout, LMR36503MSCQRPERQ1 application, or LMR36503MSCQRPERQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 70 V transient tolerance, PGOOD flag with 2.16 ms activation delay, MODE/SYNC pin for external clock synchronization, pseudo-random spread spectrum compliance with CISPR 25, and seamless FPWM-to-PFM transition enabling >70% efficiency at 5 mA load.
Technical Context
The LMR36503MSCQRPERQ1 implements peak current mode control with internal compensation, supporting stable regulation down to minimal output capacitance and enabling compact layout. Its MODE/SYNC pin allows user-selectable PFM/FPWM operation and synchronization to external clocks from 200 kHz to 2.2 MHz.
It features integrated high- and low-side MOSFETs (RDS(on) = 920 mΩ / 460 mΩ), thermal shutdown (158–180 °C rising), and a precision enable input with 1.263 V threshold and 0.35 V hysteresis - all qualified for junction temperatures from –40 °C to +150 °C per AEC-Q100.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the input voltage range supported by the LMR36503MSCQRPERQ1?
The LMR36503MSCQRPERQ1 supports an input voltage range from 3.0 V (falling threshold) to 65 V, with 70 V absolute maximum rating. It remains functional during severe automotive cold-crank events down to 3.0 V and withstands ISO 7637-2 load-dump transients up to 70 V - making it suitable for direct battery connection in 12 V and 24 V vehicle architectures.
Does the LMR36503MSCQRPERQ1 require external compensation components?
No, the LMR36503MSCQRPERQ1 uses peak current mode control with internal compensation. This eliminates the need for external Type II or Type III compensation networks, reducing BOM count and PCB area - a key advantage over traditional buck controllers requiring complex loop tuning.
How does the MODE/SYNC pin function on the LMR36503MSCQRPERQ1?
The MODE/SYNC pin on the LMR36503MSCQRPERQ1 enables dual functionality: it selects between PFM (light-load) and FPWM (full-load) modes, and accepts an external clock signal (200 kHz–2.2 MHz) for synchronization - suppressing beat frequencies in multi-rail systems and improving EMI predictability in clustered power domains.
What is the purpose of the PGOOD pin on the LMR36503MSCQRPERQ1?
The PGOOD pin on the LMR36503MSCQRPERQ1 is an open-drain flag that asserts high when the output voltage is within ±2.5% of its target (e.g., 3.3 V or 5 V). With a typical 1.956 ms activation delay, it replaces external reset supervisors in automotive MCUs and SoCs - simplifying power sequencing and reducing system-level component count.
Is the LMR36503MSCQRPERQ1 qualified for automotive use?
Yes, the LMR36503MSCQRPERQ1 is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (–40 °C to +125 °C ambient), with junction temperature rated to +150 °C. It includes functional safety documentation support, spread spectrum EMI reduction, and thermal shutdown - meeting stringent reliability, safety, and EMC requirements for automotive ADAS, infotainment, and body electronics.
