Product details
Overview
LMR36506RS3QRPERQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive-grade synchronous buck converter delivering 0.6 A output at fixed 3.3 V, operating from 3.0 V to 65 V input, with 4 µA quiescent current in switching PFM mode and integrated PGOOD flag - used in ADAS power rails requiring cold-crank resilience and EMI-compliant compact DC/DC conversion.
For engineers reviewing the LMR36506RS3QRPERQ1 datasheet, LMR36506RS3QRPERQ1 pinout, LMR36506RS3QRPERQ1 application, or LMR36506RS3QRPERQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2-mm × 2-mm HotRod™ VQFN-HR package, RT-pin-adjustable switching frequency (200 kHz–2.2 MHz), pseudo-random spread spectrum for CISPR 25 compliance, and 3.3 V ±1.5% output accuracy across –40°C to +125°C ambient.
Technical Context
The LMR36506RS3QRPERQ1 uses peak current mode control with internal compensation, enabling stable regulation with minimal external output capacitance. Its architecture supports seamless FPWM-to-PFM transition and automatic frequency foldback during deep input sags (e.g., 3.6 V cold-crank), maintaining regulation down to 2.45 V falling UVLO threshold.
This variant features factory-trimmed VOUT/BIAS pin for fixed 3.3 V output and unconnected MODE/SYNC pin - instead using the RT pin for frequency programming via external resistor. It lacks synchronization capability but includes spread spectrum dithering (±2% span, ~1.2 Hz pattern) and thermal shutdown with 158°C rising threshold and 10°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.0 V (rising) to 65 V - supports automotive battery transients up to 70 V and cold-crank operation below 4 V. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±1.5% (FPWM mode) - eliminates external feedback divider and reduces BOM count. |
| Max Output Current | 0.6 A continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and CAN transceivers in body electronics. |
| Quiescent Current | 4 µA at 24 VIN/3.3 VOUT in PFM - enables >80% efficiency at 1 mA load for always-on systems. |
| Switching Frequency | Adjustable 200 kHz–2.2 MHz via RT resistor - allows EMI optimization and inductor size trade-off without layout change. |
| Package | VQFN-HR (RPE), 2.0 mm × 2.0 mm, 9-pin with wettable flanks - enables automated optical inspection and robust solder joint reliability. |
| PGOOD Accuracy | ±1.8% hysteresis, 106–110% OV / 93–96.5% UV thresholds - provides precise rail monitoring without external supervisor IC. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade | Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C TA), junction range –40°C to +150°C - qualified for under-hood and ADAS ECU deployment. |
Pinout & Package
VQFN-HR (RPE) 9-pin, 2.0 mm × 2.0 mm package with wettable flanks and corner anchor pads for enhanced solder joint reliability and AOI compatibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RT | Frequency programming input | Connects to GND (2.2 MHz), VCC (1 MHz), or resistor (200 kHz–2.2 MHz); not MODE/SYNC - no sync capability on this variant. |
| 2 - PGOOD | Open-drain power-good flag | Asserts high when VOUT is within ±1.8% window; requires pull-up; enables system reset sequencing without external supervisor. |
| 3 - EN/UVLO | Enable and input undervoltage lockout | Active-high enable with 0.4 V wake threshold and 1.263 V precision ON level; supports direct VIN connection or remote control. |
| 4 - VIN | Main input power supply | Accepts 3.0–65 V; requires local high-quality bypass capacitor; withstands 70 V transient surges. |
| 5 - SW | Power switch node | Connects to external inductor; carries high di/dt; must be routed with short, low-inductance trace to minimize EMI. |
| 6 - BOOT | High-side gate driver bootstrap | Requires 100 nF ceramic capacitor between BOOT and SW; critical for MOSFET gate drive integrity. |
| 7 - VCC | Internal LDO output | 3.15 V ±25 mV regulated supply for control circuitry; decouple with 1 µF capacitor to GND; not for external loads. |
| 8 - VOUT/BIAS | Fixed-output voltage sense & bias | Factory-trimmed for 3.3 V; connects directly to output node; sets reference internally - no FB divider needed. |
| 9 - GND | Power ground | Primary return path; must be connected to CIN with short, wide copper; separates analog and power ground planes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMR36506MSC3RPERQ1 | Same 3.3 V fixed output, but includes MODE/SYNC pin for external clock synchronization - no RT pin. | Suitable where system-level clock domain alignment is required (e.g., multi-rail synchronized converters). | Select when EMI-sensitive systems require deterministic frequency locking; LMR36506RS3QRPERQ1 is preferred for cost-sensitive, standalone designs. |
| LMR36503RS3QRPERQ1 | Pin-compatible 300 mA version (same RPE package, 3.3 V fixed), lower current rating, identical pinout and feature set. | Used in lower-power nodes like seat control or mirror modules where 0.3 A suffices. | Choose for BOM rationalization across platforms; LMR36506RS3QRPERQ1 provides headroom for future feature expansion or higher ILOAD margin. |
Compared with LMR36506MSC3RPERQ1, LMR36506RS3QRPERQ1 trades synchronization capability for lower cost and RT-based frequency flexibility; versus LMR36503RS3QRPERQ1, it doubles output current while retaining identical footprint and thermal profile - enabling scalable power design without layout revision.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LMR36506RS3QRPERQ1?
The LMR36506RS3QRPERQ1 has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 70 V, with recommended operating range from 3.0 V (rising) to 65 V. Its 2.45 V falling UVLO threshold ensures continued operation during severe automotive cold-crank events down to ~3.6 V nominal battery voltage.
Does the LMR36506RS3QRPERQ1 support external frequency synchronization?
No, the LMR36506RS3QRPERQ1 does not support external synchronization. It uses the RT pin for adjustable switching frequency (200 kHz–2.2 MHz) and lacks the MODE/SYNC function - that capability is reserved for the LMR36506MSC3RPERQ1 variant.
What is the output voltage accuracy of the LMR36506RS3QRPERQ1 at full temperature range?
The LMR36506RS3QRPERQ1 delivers 3.3 V output with ±1.5% accuracy in FPWM mode and ±2.5% in Auto (PFM/FPWM) mode across –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature, as specified in the System Characteristics table of the datasheet.
How is the PGOOD signal configured on the LMR36506RS3QRPERQ1?
The PGOOD pin on the LMR36506RS3QRPERQ1 is an open-drain output with 106–110% overvoltage and 93–96.5% undervoltage thresholds relative to the 3.3 V output. It requires an external pull-up resistor and asserts high only when VOUT remains within this window for >25 µs (glitch filter).
What package type and dimensions does the LMR36506RS3QRPERQ1 use?
The LMR36506RS3QRPERQ1 uses the VQFN-HR (RPE) package: 2.0 mm × 2.0 mm, 9-pin, with wettable flanks and corner anchor pads. This HotRod™ flip-chip construction eliminates bond wires, reducing parasitic inductance and improving thermal and EMI performance.
