Product details
Overview
LMR43606RS5RPERQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous buck converter delivering 0.6A output at fixed 5V, operating from 3.0V to 36V input with 42V load-dump tolerance, featuring <2.5µA quiescent current at 150°C TJMAX and integrated spread spectrum for ultra-low EMI in ADAS radar ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the LMR43606RS5RPERQ1 datasheet, LMR43606RS5RPERQ1 pinout, LMR43606RS5RPERQ1 application, or LMR43606RS5RPERQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed thermal and efficiency specs across –40°C to +150°C, and real-world automotive selection guidance - not generic DC/DC claims.
Technical Context
The LMR43606RS5RPERQ1 uses peak-current-mode control with frequency foldback in Auto mode, enabling 1.5µA no-load IQ at 13.5VIN while maintaining seamless PWM/PFM transition. Its dual-random spread spectrum reduces peak EMI emissions without external filters.
This RT-pin variant supports adjustable switching frequency from 200kHz to 2.2MHz via external resistor, operates with internal compensation, and integrates high-side (132–260mΩ) and low-side (75–140mΩ) MOSFETs in a wettable-flank HotRod QFN package optimized for optical inspection and solder-joint reliability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.0V to 36V continuous; withstands 42V transients - supports automotive cold-crank (3V) and load-dump conditions. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.00V ±0.6% (4.94–5.06V) over full temperature and line range - eliminates external feedback resistors. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.0µA typical at VIN=13.5V, VOUT=5V, IOUT=0A, Auto mode - enables always-on functionality in battery-sensitive systems. |
| Switching Frequency | Adjustable 200kHz–2.2MHz via RT pin resistor - avoids noise-sensitive bands and enables layout optimization. |
| Junction Temperature | –40°C to +150°C operational range - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 with 158–186°C thermal shutdown. |
| Package | RPE (VQFN-HR, 9-pin), 2mm × 2mm with wettable flanks - enables automated optical inspection and robust board-level reliability. |
| EMI Reduction | Dual-random spread spectrum (±4% ΔFc) - reduces peak radiated emissions without shielding or common-mode chokes. |
Pinout & Package
RPE package: 9-pin, 2mm × 2mm Very-thin Quad Flat No-lead with HotRod™ construction and wettable flanks for solder-joint inspection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RT | Frequency-setting input | Connect external resistor to GND to set FSW from 200kHz to 2.2MHz; not used for MODE/SYNC variants. |
| 2 - PGOOD | Open-drain power-good flag | Asserts high when VOUT is within ±4.2% regulation window; includes 25–75µs deglitch and 1.35–4ms activation delay. |

| 4 - VIN | Main power input | Accepts 3.0–36V; handles 42V transients; requires local high-quality bypass capacitor to GND. |
| 5 - SW | Switch node | Connects to power inductor; carries high di/dt; must be routed with minimal loop area to reduce EMI. |
| 6 - BOOT | Bootstrap supply | 100nF capacitor to SW provides gate drive voltage for high-side MOSFET; critical for proper HS turn-on. |

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the LMR43606RS5RPERQ1?
The LMR43606RS5RPERQ1 is rated for continuous operation up to +150°C junction temperature, with thermal shutdown triggering between 158°C and 186°C and 15–20°C hysteresis. This specification is validated per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 and supports under-hood deployment in modern automotive ECUs where ambient temperatures exceed 105°C.
Does the LMR43606RS5RPERQ1 require external feedback resistors for 5V output?
No, the LMR43606RS5RPERQ1 features a factory-trimmed fixed 5V output configuration. The VOUT/FB pin is internally connected to the 5.00V reference, so no external feedback resistors are needed - simplifying design, reducing BOM count, and improving accuracy to ±0.6% over temperature and line.
How does the RT pin adjust switching frequency in the LMR43606RS5RPERQ1?
The RT pin on the LMR43606RS5RPERQ1 sets switching frequency by connecting an external resistor between RT and GND. With a 39.2kΩ 0.1% resistor, FSW is 400kHz (±15%); tying RT to VCC yields ~1MHz, and grounding RT sets ~2.2MHz. Frequency accuracy is specified across –40°C to +150°C.
Can the LMR43606RS5RPERQ1 operate during automotive cold-crank conditions?
Yes, the LMR43606RS5RPERQ1 supports input voltages as low as 3.0V after startup and 3.6V for initial start-up, meeting automotive cold-crank requirements. Its low dropout (0.2V at 0.6A) and high-efficiency PFM operation at light loads ensure stable 5V output even when battery voltage dips below 6V during engine cranking.
Is spread spectrum enabled by default on the LMR43606RS5RPERQ1?
Yes, dual-random spread spectrum is factory-enabled and active by default on the LMR43606RS5RPERQ1. It cannot be disabled via pins or registers - this fixed feature reduces peak EMI emissions by spreading energy across a ±4% bandwidth, eliminating the need for external filtering in compact automotive PCBs.
