Product details
Overview
LMR36506MSC5RPERQ1 from Texas Instruments is a 3-V to 65-V, 0.6-A AEC-Q100 Grade 1 synchronous buck converter in a 2-mm × 2-mm VQFN-HR (9) HotRod™ package, featuring fixed 5-V output, 2.2-MHz switching frequency, PFM/FPWM selectable mode, and integrated PGOOD flag - deployed in automotive infotainment power rails requiring cold-crank resilience.
For engineers reviewing the LMR36506MSC5RPERQ1 datasheet, LMR36506MSC5RPERQ1 pinout, LMR36506MSC5RPERQ1 application, or LMR36506MSC5RPERQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage sag tolerance (down to 3.0 V), light-load quiescent current (4 µA at 24 VIN/3.3 VOUT), spread-spectrum EMI compliance per CISPR 25, thermal shutdown threshold (158–180 °C), and fixed-output accuracy (±1.5% in FPWM mode).
Technical Context
The LMR36506MSC5RPERQ1 employs peak current-mode control with internal compensation, enabling stable regulation with minimal external capacitance. Its MODE/SYNC pin supports external clock synchronization or user-selectable PFM/FPWM operation, while pseudo-random spread spectrum dithering reduces EMI peaks without requiring external filtering.
It integrates high- and low-side MOSFETs (RDS(on) = 560–920 mΩ / 280–460 mΩ), a precision 1-V reference, and a dedicated VCC LDO (3.15 V ±25 mV). The device maintains regulation during deep input sags (e.g., 3.0-V cold-crank) via automatic frequency foldback and achieves >80% efficiency at 1-mA load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.0 V (falling) to 65 V - sustains operation during automotive cold-crank transients down to 3.0 V. |
| Output Current | 0.6 A continuous - supports mid-power domain supplies for ADAS sensors or display controllers. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0 V ±1.5% (FPWM) - eliminates external feedback resistors; simplifies layout and BOM. |
| Switching Frequency | Fixed 2.2 MHz - enables compact magnetics and avoids AM-band interference. |
| Quiescent Current | 4 µA at 24 VIN/3.3 VOUT (switching) - extends battery life in always-on vehicle modules. |
| PGOOD Accuracy | ±1.8% hysteresis (94–107% of VOUT) - provides precise power-rail monitoring without external supervisor IC. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Rising threshold 158–180 °C - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
| EMI Compliance | Pseudo-random spread spectrum (±2% span) - meets CISPR 25 Class 5 radiated emissions without shielding. |
Pinout & Package
VQFN-HR (9-pin, 2.00 mm × 2.00 mm) with wettable flanks - enables automated optical inspection (AOI) and robust solder joint reliability in automotive reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - MODE/SYNC | Mode selection & clock sync input | Configures PFM/FPWM operation or synchronizes switching to external clock (0.2–2.2 MHz); must not be floated. |
| 2 - PGOOD | Open-drain power-good flag | Asserts high when VOUT is within ±1.8% window; drives reset logic or system enable without external supervisor. |
| 3 - EN/UVLO | Enable & undervoltage lockout input | Wakes at 0.4 V, enables at 1.263 V (±0.1 V hysteresis); supports direct connection to VIN for simple on/off control. |
| 4 - VIN | Main input power supply | Accepts 3–65 V DC; requires local high-quality bypass capacitor to GND for transient immunity and EMI suppression. |
| 5 - SW | Switch node | Connects to power inductor; carries high di/dt; requires short, low-inductance routing to minimize ringing and EMI. |
| 6 - BOOT | Bootstrap supply | Drives high-side MOSFET gate; requires 100-nF ceramic capacitor between BOOT and SW for reliable gate drive. |
| 7 - VCC | Internal LDO output | Supplies internal control circuitry at 3.15 V; decoupled with 1-µF capacitor to GND; not for external loads. |
| 8 - VOUT/BIAS | Fixed 5-V output sense | Factory-trimmed for 5-V fixed output; connects directly to output rail; sets feedback internally - no resistor divider needed. |
| 9 - GND | Power ground | Primary return path for VIN, SW, and VCC; must be connected to system ground with short, wide copper pour. |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the output voltage accuracy of the LMR36506MSC5RPERQ1 under full load and temperature range?
The LMR36506MSC5RPERQ1 delivers 5.0 V output with ±1.5% accuracy in FPWM mode across –40°C to +125°C ambient and full 0–0.6-A load range. This specification is validated per AEC-Q100 testing and includes line, load, and temperature variation - ensuring reliable 5-V rail generation for automotive logic without external trimming.
Does the LMR36506MSC5RPERQ1 support external clock synchronization?
Yes, the LMR36506MSC5RPERQ1 supports external clock synchronization via its MODE/SYNC pin, accepting input clocks from 0.2 MHz to 2.2 MHz. When used in SYNC mode, it locks phase to the external source - reducing system-level EMI beat frequencies and enabling deterministic timing in multi-rail automotive power architectures.
What is the minimum input voltage required for the LMR36506MSC5RPERQ1 to maintain regulation?
The LMR36506MSC5RPERQ1 maintains regulation down to 3.0 V input (falling threshold), making it suitable for automotive cold-crank conditions. Below this, UVLO disables switching; above 3.0 V, it resumes regulation automatically - a key feature validated in AEC-Q100 Grade 1 testing for engine-start scenarios.
How does the PGOOD function behave during startup and fault conditions in the LMR36506MSC5RPERQ1?
The LMR36506MSC5RPERQ1 asserts PGOOD high only after soft-start completes and VOUT reaches 94–107% of nominal 5.0 V, with 1.8% hysteresis. It pulls low immediately upon EN deactivation or output undervoltage/overvoltage - providing precise, glitch-filtered (25-µs filter) power-rail status for system reset sequencing without external components.
Is the LMR36506MSC5RPERQ1 pin-compatible with other members of the LMR36506-Q1 family?
Yes, the LMR36506MSC5RPERQ1 shares identical VQFN-HR (9) 2-mm × 2-mm package and pinout with LMR36506MSC3RPERQ1 (3.3-V fixed) and LMR36506MSCQRPERQ1 (adjustable), enabling drop-in replacement across output voltage variants - provided board layout accommodates the same thermal pad and decoupling footprint.
