Product details
Overview
LMR36506RFRPER from Texas Instruments is a 3V–65V input, 0.6A synchronous buck DC/DC converter in a 2mm × 2mm HotRod™ QFN (RPE) package, featuring 4µA no-load quiescent current, adjustable output voltage via FB pin, and RT-pin programmable switching frequency from 200kHz to 2.2MHz. It delivers 93% peak efficiency at 12VIN/3.3VOUT and supports industrial field transmitters requiring rugged 70V transient tolerance.
For engineers reviewing the LMR36506RFRPER datasheet, LMR36506RFRPER pinout, LMR36506RFRPER application, or LMR36506RFRPER equivalent, key selection considerations include its ultra-low IQ, wide VIN range with integrated input transient protection, internal compensation for minimal external components, and precision EN/UVLO with power-good flag for system supervision.
Technical Context
The LMR36506RFRPER uses peak current mode control with internal compensation, enabling stable regulation with minimal output capacitance and eliminating need for external loop compensation. Its RT pin allows precise frequency setting across 200kHz–2.2MHz, while FPWM/light-load auto-mode selection optimizes efficiency versus noise trade-offs.
It integrates high- and low-side MOSFETs (RDS(on) = 920mΩ / 460mΩ), a precision 1.0V reference (±1%), thermal shutdown (158°C rising), and open-drain PGOOD with 1.8% hysteresis and built-in 25µs glitch filter - all operating across –40°C to +150°C junction temperature.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LMR36506RFRPER to start switching?
The LMR36506RFRPER has a falling input voltage threshold of 2.45V (typical) and a rising threshold of 3.4V (typical). Once started, it sustains regulation down to 3.0V input. Below 2.45V, the device shuts down; above 3.4V, it initiates startup if EN is asserted. This dual-threshold UVLO prevents erratic operation during brownouts.
Does LMR36506RFRPER support external synchronization of its switching frequency?
No, LMR36506RFRPER does not support external synchronization. Its switching frequency is set exclusively via the RT pin using a resistor-to-GND connection, covering 200kHz to 2.2MHz. The MODE/SYNC pin variant is not offered for this part number - only RT-programmable and fixed-output variants exist in the LMR36506 family.
How is output voltage adjusted on LMR36506RFRPER?
LMR36506RFRPER uses the FB pin to adjust output voltage via an external resistive divider. With a precise 1.0V internal reference, VOUT = 1.0V × (1 + RFBT/RFBB). The FB pin draws only 110nA (max), minimizing divider current error. This configuration enables any output from ~1.2V upward, unlike fixed-output variants such as LMR36506R3RPER.
What thermal performance can be expected from LMR36506RFRPER in a standard 4-layer PCB layout?
In a JEDEC-standard 4-layer PCB, LMR36506RFRPER exhibits a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 84.4°C/W. With 0.6A load at 24VIN/3.3VOUT, typical power dissipation is ~0.3W, resulting in ~25°C junction rise above ambient - well within its –40°C to +150°C operating range. Layout best practices (thermal vias under exposed pad, short GND traces) further improve performance.
Is LMR36506RFRPER compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes, LMR36506RFRPER is qualified for standard IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 lead-free reflow profiles, including peak temperatures up to 260°C. Its VQFN-HR (RPE) package features wettable flanks and corner anchor pads designed for automated optical inspection (AOI) and high-yield solder joint formation in high-volume manufacturing.
