Product details
Overview
LMR38025FS3QDRRRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous buck converter delivering 2.5A continuous output at fixed 3.3V, operating from 4.2V to 80V input with 40µA quiescent current and 200kHz–2.2MHz adjustable switching frequency. It integrates synchronous rectification, spread-spectrum EMI reduction, and precision enable for 48V mild-hybrid ECU bias supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LMR38025FS3QDRRRQ1 datasheet, LMR38025FS3QDRRRQ1 pinout, LMR38025FS3QDRRRQ1 application, or LMR38025FS3QDRRRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its FPWM mode for low ripple, 97% max duty cycle enabling deep dropout operation, ±1.5% reference tolerance over –40°C to +150°C, and WSON-12 wettable flank package for automated optical inspection in automotive production.
Technical Context
The LMR38025FS3QDRRRQ1 implements fixed-frequency peak-current mode control with internal compensation, supporting both resistor-programmed (RT pin) and external clock synchronization (300kHz–2.1MHz). Its high-side/low-side MOSFETs feature RDS(on) of 303mΩ and 133mΩ respectively, enabling efficient regulation across wide VIN ranges.
It incorporates precision enable with UVLO thresholds (1.10V–1.25V rising), open-drain power-good flag with 45µs glitch filter and 90–94% falling threshold, thermal shutdown at 163°C with 13°C hysteresis, and hiccup-mode short-circuit protection-designed specifically for automotive transients and start-stop cycling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.2V to 80V - supports direct connection to 48V battery rails and withstands load-dump transients up to 85V absolute max. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±1.5% over –40°C to +150°C - eliminates external feedback resistors and reduces BOM count for bias rail applications. |
| Continuous Output Current | 2.5A - sustains full load at TJ = 150°C with proper PCB thermal design using the exposed PowerPAD™. |
| Quiescent Current | 40µA in PFM mode - enables always-on functionality in automotive modules without excessive battery drain. |
| Switching Frequency | 200kHz to 2.2MHz - avoids AM radio band and allows optimization between efficiency (low fSW) and size (high fSW). |
| Duty Cycle Range | Up to 97% - maintains regulation during cold-crank events where VIN dips to 4.2V while delivering 3.3V output. |
| EMI Reduction | Pseudorandom spread spectrum - lowers peak emissions to meet CISPR 25 Class 5 requirements with minimal filtering. |
Pinout & Package
LMR38025FS3QDRRRQ1 uses a 12-pin WSON (DRR) package with 3mm × 3mm footprint and wettable flanks for solder joint inspection. The exposed thermal pad (EP) must be connected to system ground for thermal performance and EMI control.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 1, 2) | Power and analog ground | Reference node for all electrical parameters; requires low-inductance connection to input/output capacitors and thermal pad. |
| EN (Pin 3) | Enable input | Logic-controlled startup: high ≥1.25V enables regulator; low ≤0.95V disables with 3µA shutdown current. |
| NC (Pin 4) | No connect | Must remain unconnected; no internal function or bonding wire. |
| VIN (Pins 5, 6) | Main input supply | Accepts 4.2V–80V; requires local 10µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pins 5/6 and GND. |
| RT/SYNC (Pin 7) | Frequency programming/synchronization | Resistor-to-GND sets fSW (200kHz–2.2MHz); external clock (300kHz–2.1MHz) overrides for system-level timing alignment. |
| FB (Pin 8) | Feedback input | Internally tied to 3.3V output for fixed version - must be shorted directly to VOUT pin per datasheet configuration. |
| PG (Pin 9) | Open-drain power-good flag | Asserts high when VOUT is within 90–114% of nominal; includes 45µs glitch filter and automatic hold-low during soft-start. |
| BOOT (Pin 10) | Bootstrap supply | Drives high-side gate; requires 100nF ceramic capacitor between BOOT and SW pins with minimal loop area. |
| SW (Pins 11, 12) | Switch node | Connects to power inductor; high dv/dt node requiring tight layout and separation from sensitive analog traces. |
| EP (Thermal Pad) | Thermal and ground connection | Exposed copper pad under package - must be soldered to ≥4-layer PCB ground plane with ≥4 thermal vias for RθJA = 23.0°C/W (EVM). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| FPWM operation mode | Enables constant switching frequency and low output voltage ripple at light loads - critical for noise-sensitive automotive microcontrollers. |
| Integrated synchronous rectification | Eliminates external Schottky diode, reducing conduction losses and board area while improving efficiency by >5% at 1A load. |
| Prebiased output startup support | Allows safe turn-on even when output capacitor is precharged - prevents reverse current flow into the IC during system power sequencing. |
| Wettable flank WSON-12 package | Enables automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints on bottom-side terminations - essential for zero-defect automotive manufacturing. |
| Functional safety documentation | Includes FIT rate, failure mode analysis, and diagnostic coverage data - accelerates ISO 26262 ASIL-B system-level certification. |

FAQ
What is the output voltage configuration of the LMR38025FS3QDRRRQ1?
The LMR38025FS3QDRRRQ1 is factory-configured for fixed 3.3V output. Unlike adjustable variants, its FB pin is internally connected to the output, eliminating external feedback resistors. This configuration achieves ±1.5% output tolerance over –40°C to +150°C junction temperature and simplifies layout for automotive bias rail applications.
Does the LMR38025FS3QDRRRQ1 support synchronization to an external clock?
Yes, the LMR38025FS3QDRRRQ1 supports external clock synchronization via the RT/SYNC pin. When driven with a square wave between 300kHz and 2.1MHz, the internal oscillator locks to the external signal's falling edge. This capability enables precise timing alignment across multiple converters in automotive domain controllers, reducing beat-frequency noise and easing EMI compliance testing.
How does the LMR38025FS3QDRRRQ1 handle cold-crank conditions in 48V automotive systems?
The LMR38025FS3QDRRRQ1 maintains regulation during cold-crank events by operating up to 97% duty cycle when input voltage drops to 4.2V. Its wide 4.2V–80V input range and ability to sustain 2.5A output at minimum VIN ensure uninterrupted 3.3V supply to critical ECUs - a requirement verified under AEC-Q100 Grade 1 test conditions from –40°C to +150°C.
What thermal management provisions are required for the LMR38025FS3QDRRRQ1 in automotive applications?
The LMR38025FS3QDRRRQ1 requires connection of its exposed thermal pad (EP) to a multilayer PCB ground plane using ≥4 thermal vias. With this implementation, effective junction-to-ambient thermal resistance drops to 23.0°C/W (per EVM data), enabling full 2.5A output at +125°C ambient. Failure to implement proper thermal relief risks triggering 163°C thermal shutdown during sustained high-load operation.
Is the LMR38025FS3QDRRRQ1 compatible with WEBENCH® Power Designer?
Yes, the LMR38025FS3QDRRRQ1 is fully supported in TI's WEBENCH® Power Designer tool. Engineers can generate complete schematic and bill-of-materials, simulate efficiency and thermal performance, optimize loop stability, and export design files directly - including validated layouts for the 3mm × 3mm WSON-12 package and recommended component values for 3.3V fixed-output operation.
