Product details
Overview
LMR36506MSC3RPERQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive-grade synchronous buck converter delivering 0.6 A at fixed 3.3 V output, operating from 3.0 V to 65 V input, with 4 µA quiescent current in switching mode (VIN = 24 V → VOUT = 3.3 V), integrated PGOOD flag, and 2.2 MHz fixed-frequency FPWM operation - used in ADAS power rails requiring cold-crank resilience and low EMI.
For engineers reviewing the LMR36506MSC3RPERQ1 datasheet, LMR36506MSC3RPERQ1 pinout, LMR36506MSC3RPERQ1 application, or LMR36506MSC3RPERQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2-mm × 2-mm HotRod™ VQFN-HR package with wettable flanks, ±1.5% output voltage accuracy over full load/temperature, pseudo-random spread spectrum compliance with CISPR 25, and seamless PFM-to-FPWM transition for ultra-low-light-load efficiency.
Technical Context
The LMR36506MSC3RPERQ1 employs peak current-mode control with internal compensation, enabling stable regulation with minimal external output capacitance. Its fixed 3.3 V output variant uses factory-trimmed VOUT/BIAS pin configuration and eliminates external feedback resistors.
It integrates a high-side MOSFET (RDS(on) = 560–920 mΩ) and low-side MOSFET (RDS(on) = 280–460 mΩ), supports thermal shutdown (158–180 °C rising threshold), and features a dedicated MODE/SYNC pin for external clock synchronization or PFM/FPWM mode selection - all within a junction temperature range of –40 °C to +150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.0 V (falling) to 65 V - sustains regulation during automotive cold-crank (down to 3.0 V) and load-dump transients (up to 70 V absolute max). |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±1.5% - factory-trimmed, no external feedback divider required; enables compact layout and reduced BOM count. |
| Max Output Current | 0.6 A continuous - supported across full temperature range with appropriate PCB thermal design per RθJB = 26.1 °C/W. |
| Quiescent Current | 4 µA (switching, VIN = 24 V → 3.3 V) - enables >80% efficiency at 1 mA load, critical for always-on automotive modules. |
| Switching Frequency | Fixed 2.2 MHz - avoids AM-band interference, allows use of small 1-µH inductors and ceramic capacitors. |
| EMI Mitigation | Pseudo-random spread spectrum (±2% frequency dither) - meets CISPR 25 Class 5 without common-mode chokes or shielding. |
| Package | VQFN-HR (RPE), 9-pin, 2.0 mm × 2.0 mm with wettable flanks - supports automated optical inspection and robust solder joint reliability. |
Pinout & Package
VQFN-HR (RPE) 9-pin, 2.0 mm × 2.0 mm package with wettable flanks and corner anchor pads for enhanced mechanical reliability in automotive vibration environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | MODE/SYNC | User-selectable PFM/FPWM mode or external clock synchronization input - must not be floated; pulled to VCC or GND for fixed behavior. |
| 2 | PGOOD | Open-drain power-good flag - signals valid output voltage (±1.8% hysteresis); eliminates need for external supervisor IC. |
| 3 | EN/UVLO | Enable input with precision wake-up (0.4 V) and hysteresis (0.35 V) - supports direct connection to VIN for simple on/off control. |
| 4 | VIN | Main input supply (3–65 V) - requires local high-quality bypass capacitor directly to GND for stability and EMI suppression. |
| 5 | SW | Switch node - connects to power inductor; carries high di/dt; requires short, low-inductance routing. |
| 6 | BOOT | Bootstrap supply for high-side driver - requires 100-nF ceramic capacitor between BOOT and SW for gate drive integrity. |
| 7 | VCC | Internal LDO output (3.15 V typical) - powers control circuitry; decoupled with 1-µF capacitor to GND; not for external loads. |
| 8 | VOUT/BIAS | Fixed 3.3 V output node - factory-trimmed; connects directly to output capacitor; serves as bias reference for internal circuits. |
| 9 | GND | Power ground - primary return path; must connect to CIN with short, wide traces to minimize noise and improve thermal performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated PGOOD with delayed release | Eliminates external reset supervisor IC and associated timing components in automotive power sequencing. |
| Ultra-low IQ in PFM mode | 6.5 µA input supply current at 0 A load (VIN = 13.5 V → 3.3 V), extending battery life in always-on systems. |
| HotRod™ flip-chip packaging | Removes bond wires to reduce parasitic inductance, improving EMI performance and enabling smaller solution size. |
| Internal compensation | Reduces external component count to only inductor, input/output capacitors, and BOOT capacitor - simplifies design validation. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for –40 °C to +125 °C ambient operation with full functionality up to +150 °C junction temperature. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMR36506MSC5RPERQ1 | Fixed 5 V output instead of 3.3 V; identical pinout, package, and electrical specs otherwise. | Used where 5 V logic or interface power is required instead of 3.3 V - no change to PCB layout or thermal design. | Select when system requires 5 V rail; shares same qualification, EMI profile, and footprint as LMR36506MSC3RPERQ1. |
| LMR36503MSC3RPERQ1 | Lower 0.3 A output current rating; same 3.3 V fixed output, 2.2 MHz, and VQFN-HR package. | Suitable for lower-power nodes (e.g., sensor interfaces) where 0.6 A headroom is unnecessary. | Choose for cost-sensitive, low-current applications; pin-compatible but not a functional replacement for 0.6 A loads. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the LMR36506MSC3RPERQ1 can withstand?
The LMR36506MSC3RPERQ1 has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 70 V, with recommended operating range from 3.0 V (falling threshold) to 65 V. This enables reliable operation during automotive load-dump events and deep cold-crank conditions down to 3.0 V, making it suitable for 12 V and 24 V vehicle architectures.
Does the LMR36506MSC3RPERQ1 require external feedback resistors for its 3.3 V output?
No, the LMR36506MSC3RPERQ1 is a fixed 3.3 V output variant with factory-trimmed internal reference and VOUT/BIAS pin configuration. It does not require external feedback resistors, reducing component count, layout complexity, and potential tolerance drift - unlike adjustable versions that use the FB pin.
How does the MODE/SYNC pin function on the LMR36506MSC3RPERQ1?
On the LMR36506MSC3RPERQ1, the MODE/SYNC pin enables user-selectable PFM/FPWM operation or synchronization to an external clock signal (0.2–2.2 MHz). It must not be left floating; tying to VCC selects FPWM mode, grounding selects PFM mode, and applying a clean square wave synchronizes switching frequency to the external source.
What thermal performance can be expected from the LMR36506MSC3RPERQ1 in a standard 4-layer PCB?
In a JEDEC-standard 4-layer PCB, the LMR36506MSC3RPERQ1 achieves RθJB = 26.1 °C/W (junction-to-board) and RθJA = 84.4 °C/W (junction-to-ambient). With proper copper pour and thermal vias under the exposed pad, it sustains 0.6 A continuous output at +85 °C ambient without derating - validated per AEC-Q100 thermal test conditions.
Is the LMR36506MSC3RPERQ1 pin-compatible with other devices in the LMR365xx-Q1 family?
Yes, the LMR36506MSC3RPERQ1 shares identical VQFN-HR (RPE) 9-pin 2.0 mm × 2.0 mm package and pinout with LMR36506MSC5RPERQ1 (5 V fixed) and LMR36503MSC3RPERQ1 (3.3 V, 0.3 A), enabling drop-in replacement for voltage or current scaling - though current capability must be verified per application load requirements.
