Product details
Overview
LMR36520ADDAR from Texas Instruments is a synchronous step-down DC/DC converter delivering up to 2 A output current across a 4.2 V to 65 V input range, featuring peak-current mode control, internal compensation, and 400 kHz fixed switching frequency. It integrates high-side and low-side MOSFETs (RDS(on) = 245 mΩ / 165 mΩ), supports PFM/PWM auto-mode operation, and provides power-good flag with built-in filtering-designed for rugged industrial power supplies such as IP camera and HVAC actuator systems.
For engineers reviewing the LMR36520ADDAR datasheet, LMR36520ADDAR pinout, LMR36520ADDAR application, or LMR36520ADDAR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 70 V transient tolerance, 26 µA quiescent current in non-switching mode, thermal shutdown at 170°C, precision enable thresholds (1.157 V–1.231 V), and compatibility with 8-pin HSOIC layout constraints.
Technical Context
The LMR36520ADDAR employs peak-current mode control with internal loop compensation, eliminating external compensation components and simplifying PCB layout. Its auto-mode operation dynamically transitions between PWM (constant 400 kHz) and PFM (diode-emulation at light loads) to maintain >90% efficiency at 24 VIN/5 VOUT/1 A while achieving 26 µA quiescent current.
Protection architecture includes cycle-by-cycle high-side current limit (2.4–3.6 A), low-side valley current limit (1.8–2.8 A), hiccup-mode short-circuit response (~94 ms off-time), thermal shutdown (170°C trip / 158°C recovery), and input UVLO with precision enable thresholds referenced to internal 1 V feedback reference.

Pinout & Package
The LMR36520ADDAR is housed in an 8-pin HSOIC (DDA) package measuring 4.9 mm × 6 mm, with exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation. The package uses Gull-wing leads and requires direct thermal connection of the pad to PCB ground plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PGND (Pin 1) | Power and analog ground reference | Primary return path for high-current switching and internal references; must connect to low-impedance ground plane via short, wide traces. |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Main input supply input | Accepts 4.2–65 V; requires local high-quality bypass capacitor directly to PGND to suppress switching noise and transients. |
| EN (Pin 3) | Enable control input | Logic-level input with precision thresholds (1.157–1.231 V turn-on); can be tied directly to VIN or driven by external voltage divider for custom UVLO. |
| PG (Pin 4) | Open-drain power-good flag | Signals regulated output status; requires external pull-up resistor (to VCC or VOUT); includes built-in glitch filter and 4 ms startup delay. |
| FB (Pin 5) | Feedback voltage sense input | Monitors output via resistive divider; referenced to 1.000 V internal bandgap; must not float or be grounded. |
| VCC (Pin 6) | Internal 5 V LDO output | Supplies internal circuitry; not for external loading; requires 1 µF ceramic capacitor to PGND for stability. |
| BOOT (Pin 7) | Bootstrap supply for high-side driver | Connects 100 nF capacitor to SW pin to generate gate drive voltage above VIN for high-side MOSFET. |
| SW (Pin 8) | Switch node | Connects to power inductor; carries high di/dt switching current; requires minimum copper area and tight layout to reduce EMI. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage transient the LMR36520ADDAR can withstand?
The LMR36520ADDAR supports input transients up to 70 V, exceeding its 65 V absolute maximum operating voltage. This capability meets IEC 61000-4-5 surge immunity requirements for industrial equipment and eliminates the need for external TVS diodes in many applications. The 70 V rating applies to short-duration transients (<10 ns) on the VIN-to-PGND path, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official datasheet.
Does the LMR36520ADDAR require external compensation components?
No, the LMR36520ADDAR features fully internal loop compensation, removing the need for external Type-II or Type-III compensation networks. This simplifies design, reduces BOM count, and improves layout robustness-especially important for high-volume industrial products where design validation time and component sourcing are critical. The internal compensation is optimized for stable operation with standard 400 kHz switching and typical output capacitor ESR values.
How does the power-good (PG) function behave during startup of the LMR36520ADDAR?
The LMR36520ADDAR's PG pin asserts high approximately 4 ms after EN is enabled, providing a delayed, filtered indication that the output has reached regulation. This built-in delay prevents false resets during initial soft-start and accommodates output capacitor charging. The PG signal remains valid down to 2 V input voltage and includes hysteresis (93–95% falling / 105–110% rising relative to VFB) to reject line/load transients shorter than tPG.
What protection features are integrated into the LMR36520ADDAR?
The LMR36520ADDAR integrates thermal shutdown (170°C trip), input undervoltage lockout (via precision EN thresholds), cycle-by-cycle high-side current limiting (2.4–3.6 A), valley-based low-side current limiting (1.8–2.8 A), hiccup-mode short-circuit protection (~94 ms off-time), and internal VCC UVLO (3.6–4.0 V). These features operate autonomously without external components, ensuring safe operation under overload, overtemperature, and input fault conditions.
Is the LMR36520ADDAR pin-compatible with other devices in the SIMPLE SWITCHER® family?
Yes, the LMR36520ADDAR uses an 8-pin HSOIC (DDA) package with identical pinout to the LMR36510 (1 A, 65 V), LMR33610, LMR33620, LMR33630, and LMR33640 (1–4 A, 36 V). This pin compatibility allows designers to scale output current and input voltage ratings without modifying PCB layout-reducing development time and qualification effort across product families targeting diverse industrial voltage domains.
