Product details
Overview
LMR36503RS3QRPERQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous buck converter delivering 0.3 A at fixed 3.3 V output, operating from 3.0 V to 65 V input, with 4 µA switching quiescent current (VIN = 24 V → VOUT = 3.3 V), 2.0 mm × 2.0 mm HotRod™ VQFN-HR package, and integrated PGOOD flag - deployed in ADAS power rails requiring cold-crank resilience and low EMI.
For engineers reviewing the LMR36503RS3QRPERQ1 datasheet, LMR36503RS3QRPERQ1 pinout, LMR36503RS3QRPERQ1 application, or LMR36503RS3QRPERQ1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its RT-pin–programmable switching frequency (200 kHz–2.2 MHz), pseudo-random spread spectrum compliance with CISPR 25, internal compensation eliminating external loop components, and junction temperature range of –40°C to +150°C for under-hood deployment.
Technical Context
The LMR36503RS3QRPERQ1 uses peak current mode control with internal compensation and supports seamless FPWM-to-PFM transition for ultra-low light-load efficiency. Its RT pin enables precise frequency setting via external resistor, while the fixed 3.3 V output variant eliminates feedback resistors and simplifies layout.
It integrates a high-side MOSFET (RDS(on) = 560–920 mΩ) and low-side MOSFET (RDS(on) = 280–460 mΩ), features thermal shutdown (rising threshold 158–180°C), and delivers >70% efficiency at 5 mA load with VIN = 24 V and VOUT = 3.3 V - optimized for automotive systems enduring deep voltage sags during cold cranking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.0 V (falling threshold) to 65 V - sustains regulation during automotive cold-crank transients down to 2.45 V |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±1.5% (FPWM mode) - eliminates external feedback divider and reduces BOM count |
| Max Output Current | 0.3 A continuous - supports low-power domain supplies for sensors, MCUs, and camera modules |
| Quiescent Current | 4 µA (switching, VIN = 24 V → 3.3 V) - enables always-on functionality without battery drain |
| Switching Frequency | Adjustable 200 kHz–2.2 MHz via RT pin - avoids AM band interference and enables compact magnetics |
| EMI Performance | Pseudo-random spread spectrum (±2% span, ~1.2 Hz pattern) - meets CISPR 25 Class 5 requirements without shielding |
| Package | VQFN-HR (RPE), 2.0 mm × 2.0 mm, 9-pin - wettable flanks enable automated optical inspection and robust solder joint reliability |
Pinout & Package
VQFN-HR (RPE) package: 2.0 mm × 2.0 mm body, 9-pin, wettable flanks, exposed thermal pad, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RT | Frequency programming input | Connects to GND (2.2 MHz), VCC (1 MHz), or resistor to GND for 200 kHz–2.2 MHz tuning - no MODE/SYNC function on this variant |
| 2 - PGOOD | Open-drain power-good flag | Asserts high when VOUT is within ±7% of nominal (106–110% / 93–96.5%) - replaces external supervisor IC |
| 3 - EN/UVLO | Enable and input undervoltage lockout | Wakes at 0.4 V, enables at 1.263 V (hysteresis 0.35 V) - supports direct connection to VIN for simple on/off control |
| 4 - VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 3.0–65 V; withstands 70 V transients - requires local ceramic bypass capacitor to GND |
| 5 - SW | Switch node | Connects to power inductor - carries high di/dt; must be routed with minimal loop area for EMI control |
| 6 - BOOT | High-side gate driver supply | Requires 100 nF ceramic capacitor between BOOT and SW - critical for proper high-side MOSFET turn-on |
| 7 - VCC | Internal LDO output | 3.15 V ±25 mV supply for control circuitry - decouple with 1 µF ceramic to GND; not for external loads |
| 8 - VOUT/BIAS | Fixed-output voltage node | Internally connected to 3.3 V regulator output - ties directly to output capacitor; no external feedback required |
| 9 - GND | Power ground | Thermal and electrical reference; must connect to CIN with short, wide trace - shared with exposed thermal pad |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated PGOOD flag | Eliminates need for external reset supervisor IC and associated timing components in automotive domain controllers |
| Internal compensation | Reduces external component count to only input/output capacitors, inductor, and RT resistor - accelerates design validation |
| HotRod™ flip-chip packaging | Removes bond wires to minimize parasitic inductance - improves EMI performance and thermal resistance (RθJB = 26.1°C/W) |
| Ultra-low IQ in PFM mode | 4 µA at 24 V input enables >70% efficiency at 5 mA load - extends battery life in always-on vehicle subsystems |
| Pseudo-random spread spectrum | Reduces peak EMI by spreading energy across ±2% bandwidth - satisfies CISPR 25 without common-mode chokes or shielded inductors |

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 | Same 3.3 V fixed output, but includes MODE/SYNC pin for external clock synchronization and PFM/FPWM mode selection | Required where system-level clock tree alignment or deterministic switching behavior is mandated (e.g., camera sync, radar chirp timing) | Select LMR36503MSC3RPERQ1 if external clock sync or programmable light-load mode control is needed; otherwise LMR36503RS3QRPERQ1 offers lower cost and simpler layout |
| LMR36506RS3QRPERQ1 | Pin-compatible 65 V, 0.6 A variant with identical package, pinout, and feature set - higher current capability only | Suitable for future-proofing or designs expecting increased load (e.g., adding CAN FD transceivers or extra sensors) | Choose LMR36506RS3QRPERQ1 only if >0.3 A output current is confirmed; LMR36503RS3QRPERQ1 provides optimal size/power trade-off for 300 mA loads |
Compared with LMR36503MSC3RPERQ1, LMR36503RS3QRPERQ1 trades external sync capability for reduced pin count and simplified biasing; compared with LMR36506RS3QRPERQ1, it delivers identical footprint and EMI performance at half the output current - optimizing solution size and cost for light-load automotive domains.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LMR36503RS3QRPERQ1?
The LMR36503RS3QRPERQ1 has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 70 V, with guaranteed operation from 3.0 V (falling threshold) to 65 V. This allows it to survive ISO 7637-2 load-dump pulses and maintain regulation during severe cold-crank conditions down to 2.45 V input - critical for automotive under-hood applications.
Does the LMR36503RS3QRPERQ1 require external compensation components?
No, the LMR36503RS3QRPERQ1 features internal compensation optimized for stability with minimal output capacitance. This eliminates external Type II or Type III compensation networks, reducing bill-of-materials count and PCB area - a key advantage over traditional buck controllers requiring external loop components.
How does the LMR36503RS3QRPERQ1 achieve low EMI performance?
The LMR36503RS3QRPERQ1 achieves low EMI through three integrated techniques: pseudo-random spread spectrum switching (±2% frequency dither), HotRod™ flip-chip packaging (eliminating bond-wire inductance), and optimized pin layout - collectively enabling CISPR 25 Class 5 compliance without external shielding or common-mode chokes.
What is the purpose of the RT pin on the LMR36503RS3QRPERQ1?
The RT pin on the LMR36503RS3QRPERQ1 sets the switching frequency from 200 kHz to 2.2 MHz using an external resistor to GND. Unlike MODE/SYNC variants, this pin does not support external clock synchronization - it is dedicated solely to frequency programming, enabling optimization for EMI, efficiency, or magnetics size.
Can the LMR36503RS3QRPERQ1 replace a 5-V fixed-output variant in an existing design?
No - the LMR36503RS3QRPERQ1 is factory-trimmed for fixed 3.3 V output and is not adjustable. To use 5 V output, select LMR36503RS5QRPERQ1 (same RT-pin variant, 5 V fixed) or LMR36503MSC5RPERQ1 (MODE/SYNC variant, 5 V fixed). Output voltage is set at wafer trim and cannot be modified post-manufacture.
