Product details
Overview
LMR43610RS3QRPERQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous buck converter delivering 1A output current, 3.3V fixed output voltage, and ultra-low 1.2µA non-switching quiescent current at 13.5VIN. It operates across 3.0V–36V input range, supports 42V load dump, and integrates peak current mode control in a 2mm × 2mm HotRod™ QFN package for radar ECU and infotainment power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LMR43610RS3QRPERQ1 datasheet, LMR43610RS3QRPERQ1 pinout, LMR43610RS3QRPERQ1 application, or LMR43610RS3QRPERQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal behavior at 150°C junction, spread-spectrum EMI reduction, RT-pin adjustable switching frequency (200kHz–2.2MHz), and functional safety documentation support - all critical for automotive power supply design validation.
Technical Context
The LMR43610RS3QRPERQ1 uses peak current mode control with internal compensation to minimize output capacitance and enable compact 10mm × 10mm typical designs. Its dual random spread spectrum dithering, HotRod™ package with wettable flanks, and optimized pinout collectively meet CISPR-25 Class 5 EMI requirements without external chokes or shielding.
This RT-pin variant supports frequency adjustment via external resistor (200kHz–2.2MHz), defaults to auto-mode PFM at light loads for 1.5µA unloaded IQ, and features integrated high-side/low-side MOSFETs with 132mΩ/75mΩ RDS(on) at 1A. Thermal shutdown triggers at 158°C–186°C with 15°C–20°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMR43610MSC3RPERQ1 | Includes MODE/SYNC pin for external clock synchronization and fixed 2.2MHz FSW; no RT resistor needed. | Required where multiple regulators must be synchronized to avoid beat frequencies in multi-rail infotainment systems. | Select when deterministic timing alignment across power rails is mandatory; LMR43610RS3QRPERQ1 is preferred for standalone, cost-sensitive designs. |
| LMR36503RPERQ1 | 65V input rating, 300mA output, same 2mm × 2mm HotRod™ package but lower current capability and no spread spectrum. | Suitable only for low-power sensors or auxiliary rails - cannot replace LMR43610RS3QRPERQ1 in 1A load scenarios. | Choose only for sub-300mA always-on functions like CAN transceiver bias; LMR43610RS3QRPERQ1 remains necessary for primary 1A rails. |
Compared with LMR43610MSC3RPERQ1, LMR43610RS3QRPERQ1 trades synchronization capability for lower BOM cost and simplified layout; versus LMR36503RPERQ1, it delivers triple the output current and certified CISPR-25 Class 5 EMI performance - making it the only validated option for 1A automotive core rails requiring ultra-low IQ and robust EMC compliance.

Does the LMR43610RS3QRPERQ1 support spread spectrum EMI reduction?
Yes, the LMR43610RS3QRPERQ1 integrates dual random spread spectrum dithering and is certified to meet CISPR-25 Class 5 emission limits. This feature is factory-enabled and requires no external configuration - it works in conjunction with the HotRod™ package and optimized pinout to eliminate the need for common-mode chokes or metal shielding in radar ECU and head unit designs.
How is the switching frequency set on the LMR43610RS3QRPERQ1?
The LMR43610RS3QRPERQ1 uses the RT pin to set switching frequency from 200kHz to 2.2MHz via an external resistor to GND. Unlike MODE/SYNC variants, it does not support external clock synchronization. The RT resistor value determines frequency precisely - for example, a 39.2kΩ 0.1% resistor sets ~400kHz - enabling optimization for efficiency, size, or EMI band avoidance.
What output voltage options are available for the LMR43610RS3QRPERQ1?
The LMR43610RS3QRPERQ1 is configured with a fixed 3.3V output voltage. The VOUT/FB pin is internally connected to the 3.3V reference, eliminating the need for external feedback resistors. This simplifies layout and improves accuracy, with ±0.9% regulation over temperature and line - ideal for powering MCUs, sensors, and communication interfaces requiring stable 3.3V rails.
