Product details
Overview
LMR36503RS5QRPERQ1 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, operating from 3 V to 65 V input, featuring 4 µA switching quiescent current, 2.2 MHz nominal switching frequency (adjustable via RT pin), and integrated PGOOD flag - deployed in ADAS power rails and infotainment domain controllers.
For engineers reviewing the LMR36503RS5QRPERQ1 datasheet, LMR36503RS5QRPERQ1 pinout, LMR36503RS5QRPERQ1 application, or LMR36503RS5QRPERQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include cold-crank robustness (3.0 V falling threshold), spread-spectrum EMI compliance per CISPR 25, internal compensation for minimal external components, and 2-mm × 2-mm HotRod™ VQFN-HR package with wettable flanks for automated optical inspection.
Technical Context
The LMR36503RS5QRPERQ1 implements peak current mode control with internal compensation and seamless FPWM-to-PFM transition, enabling stable regulation down to zero load while maintaining >70% efficiency at 5 mA. Its RT pin variant supports externally adjustable switching frequency from 200 kHz to 2.2 MHz using a single resistor, and its fixed 5-V output eliminates external feedback resistors.
Designed for automotive environments, it features –40°C to +150°C junction temperature operation, pseudo-random spread spectrum dithering, and built-in thermal shutdown (158°C rising, 150°C falling) with 10°C hysteresis - all within a leadless VQFN-HR (9-pin, RPE) package optimized for board-level reliability and EMI performance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.0 V (falling) to 65 V - sustains regulation during severe cold-crank transients (e.g., 4.5 V @ –40°C engine start) |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0 V ±1.5% (FPWM mode) - eliminates need for external feedback divider and reduces BOM count |
| Max Output Current | 0.3 A continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and CAN transceivers in body electronics |
| Quiescent Current | 4 µA (switching, VIN=24 V → VOUT=3.3 V) - enables always-on systems with multi-year battery life in parked state |
| Switching Frequency | Adjustable 200 kHz–2.2 MHz via RT pin - allows EMI optimization and inductor size trade-off without changing IC |
| Package | VQFN-HR (RPE), 2 mm × 2 mm, 9-pin - wettable flanks enable AOI; corner anchor pins improve solder joint reliability |
| PGOOD Accuracy | ±1.5% window (94–107% of VOUT/BIAS) with 25 µs glitch filter - replaces external supervisor IC in most applications |
Pinout & Package
VQFN-HR (RPE) package: 2.00 mm × 2.00 mm body, 9-pin, wettable flanks, exposed thermal pad (GND-connected), RoHS-compliant, JEDEC-standard footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RT | Frequency programming input | Connect to GND for 2.2 MHz, to VCC for 1 MHz, or to resistor-to-GND for 200 kHz–2.2 MHz - no external clock required |
| 2 - PGOOD | Open-drain power-good flag | Signals valid output (106–110% / 93–96.5% thresholds); 20–70 Ω RDS(on); requires pull-up but no external supervisor |
| 3 - EN/UVLO | Enable & input undervoltage lockout | Active-high enable with 1.263 V threshold and 0.35 V hysteresis - direct connection to VIN allowed; prevents false turn-on during brownout |
| 4 - VIN | Main input power supply | Accepts 3–65 V; requires local high-quality bypass capacitor; withstands 70 V transients |
| 5 - SW | Power switch node | Connects to external inductor; carries high di/dt; must be routed with short, low-inductance path |
| 6 - BOOT | High-side gate driver supply | Requires 100 nF ceramic capacitor to SW; UVLO threshold 2.3 V - ensures reliable HS FET drive under light load |
| 7 - VCC | Internal LDO output | 3.15 V ±25 mV regulated supply for control circuitry; 240 mA current limit; decouple with 1 µF to GND |
| 8 - VOUT/BIAS | Fixed 5-V output sense & bias | Internally connected to output; provides accurate reference for PGOOD and internal regulation - no FB divider needed |
| 9 - GND | Power ground | Thermal pad and pin both connect to system GND; requires low-impedance plane tie to CIN and COUT |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage at which LMR36503RS5QRPERQ1 maintains regulation?
The LMR36503RS5QRPERQ1 maintains regulation down to a falling input voltage threshold of 3.0 V, verified across temperature and load. This enables reliable operation during deep cold-crank events in 12-V automotive systems, where battery voltage can dip below 5 V for extended periods. The device remains functional until VIN falls below this threshold, after which it enters UVLO shutdown.
Does LMR36503RS5QRPERQ1 require external compensation components?
No, the LMR36503RS5QRPERQ1 features fully internal compensation optimized for stability with minimal output capacitance. This eliminates external Type II compensation networks (e.g., RCZ feedback), simplifying layout, reducing BOM count by up to 4 passive components, and improving design repeatability across varying output capacitor ESR values.
How does the PGOOD function work on LMR36503RS5QRPERQ1?
The LMR36503RS5QRPERQ1 PGOOD pin is an open-drain output asserting high when VOUT/BIAS reaches 106–110% of nominal 5 V and deasserting low when it falls below 93–96.5%. It includes a 25 µs internal glitch filter and 2.16 ms delay after soft-start completion - providing precise, noise-immune power-good signaling that replaces external supervisor ICs in most automotive designs.
Can LMR36503RS5QRPERQ1 be synchronized to an external clock?
No - the LMR36503RS5QRPERQ1 is the RT pin variant and does not include MODE/SYNC functionality. Synchronization capability is exclusive to the MODE/SYNC pin variants (e.g., LMR36503MSC5RPERQ1). The RT pin on LMR36503RS5QRPERQ1 is dedicated to resistor-based frequency programming only and cannot accept external clock signals.
What is the thermal shutdown behavior of LMR36503RS5QRPERQ1?
The LMR36503RS5QRPERQ1 triggers thermal shutdown at 158°C (rising threshold) and resumes operation once junction temperature falls to 150°C (falling threshold), yielding 8°C hysteresis. This protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking. During shutdown, the device disables switching, pulls PGOOD low, and draws only ~1 µA quiescent current - ensuring safe recovery without system latch-up.
