Product details
Overview
LMR36506MSCQRPERQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified 3-V to 65-V, 0.6-A synchronous buck DC/DC converter in a 2-mm × 2-mm HotRod™ VQFN-HR package. It delivers >80% efficiency at 1 mA load, features 4 µA switching quiescent current at 24 VIN/3.3 VOUT, supports adjustable output voltage via FB pin, and includes PGOOD flag and MODE/SYNC pin for external clock synchronization - optimized for automotive cold-crank operation in ADAS and infotainment systems.
For engineers reviewing the LMR36506MSCQRPERQ1 datasheet, LMR36506MSCQRPERQ1 pinout, LMR36506MSCQRPERQ1 application, or LMR36506MSCQRPERQ1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 2.2 MHz fixed switching frequency (MODE/SYNC variant), pseudo-random spread spectrum EMI reduction, –40°C to +150°C junction temperature range, and compatibility with minimal external components including no need for external compensation.
Technical Context
The LMR36506MSCQRPERQ1 uses peak current mode control with internal compensation, enabling stable regulation with minimal output capacitance. Its MODE/SYNC pin supports user-selectable PFM/FPWM operation and synchronization to an external clock between 0.2 MHz and 2.2 MHz.
It integrates high-side and low-side MOSFETs with RDS(on) of 560–920 mΩ and 280–460 mΩ respectively, implements soft-start (2.58 ms typical), thermal shutdown (158–180°C rising), and precision PGOOD with ±1.8% hysteresis referenced to FB voltage.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LMR36506MSCQRPERQ1?
The LMR36506MSCQRPERQ1 has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 70 V and a recommended operating input voltage 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 2.45 V, making it suitable for 12-V and 24-V vehicle electrical systems.
Does the LMR36506MSCQRPERQ1 require external compensation components?
No, the LMR36506MSCQRPERQ1 features internal compensation optimized for stability with minimal output capacitance. This eliminates the need for external Type II or Type III compensation networks, reducing BOM count and simplifying layout - especially beneficial in space-constrained automotive modules where PCB area is at a premium.
How does the MODE/SYNC pin function on the LMR36506MSCQRPERQ1?
The MODE/SYNC pin on the LMR36506MSCQRPERQ1 serves dual functions: it selects between PFM (light-load efficiency) and FPWM (fixed-frequency) modes, and accepts an external clock signal (0.2–2.2 MHz) for synchronization. This enables deterministic EMI placement and eliminates beat frequencies in multi-rail systems - critical for meeting CISPR 25 radiated emission limits in automotive applications.
What is the purpose of the PGOOD pin on the LMR36506MSCQRPERQ1?
The PGOOD pin on the LMR36506MSCQRPERQ1 provides an open-drain power-good flag indicating valid output regulation. It asserts high when VOUT is within ±1.8% of target (referenced to FB voltage), with built-in 25-µs glitch filtering. This eliminates the need for external supervisor ICs in most automotive applications, reducing cost and board space while ensuring precise system power sequencing.
Is the LMR36506MSCQRPERQ1 compatible with standard reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the LMR36506MSCQRPERQ1 uses a VQFN-HR package with wettable flanks and is qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles per JEDEC J-STD-020. Its corner anchor pins and copper-exposed thermal pad ensure robust solder joint formation and reliable thermal transfer - validated for automotive production environments with IPC-A-610 Class 3 acceptance criteria.
