Product details
Overview
LMR43620MSC3RPERQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous buck converter delivering 2A continuous output at fixed 3.3V or adjustable output, with 1.2µA non-switching quiescent current at 13.5VIN, 2.2MHz fixed switching frequency, and operation across –40°C to +150°C junction temperature. It serves as the primary power supply for always-on radar ECUs and infotainment head units.
For engineers reviewing the LMR43620MSC3RPERQ1 datasheet, LMR43620MSC3RPERQ1 pinout, LMR43620MSC3RPERQ1 application, or LMR43620MSC3RPERQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low IQ at high temperature, CISPR25 Class 5 EMI compliance, FPWM/PFM mode selectability via MODE/SYNC, 42V load dump tolerance, and 2mm × 2mm HotRod™ QFN package with wettable flanks.
Technical Context
The LMR43620MSC3RPERQ1 uses peak current mode control with internal compensation and dual random spread spectrum dithering to minimize output capacitance and meet CISPR25 Class 5 emissions without external filters. Its auto-mode frequency foldback enables 1.5µA unloaded input current at 13.5VIN, while FPWM mode ensures constant 2.2MHz operation under light loads.
It integrates high-side (260mΩ max) and low-side (140mΩ max) MOSFETs, supports 3.0–36V input with 42V transient tolerance, and delivers regulated 3.3V output with ±0.9% accuracy over –40°C to +150°C. The MODE/SYNC pin provides user-selectable PFM/FPWM operation and external clock synchronization capability.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for LMR43620MSC3RPERQ1?
The LMR43620MSC3RPERQ1 is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +150°C junction temperature, with thermal shutdown triggering at 158–186°C. This Grade 1 AEC-Q100 qualification enables placement in under-hood environments such as radar ECUs and BCMs where ambient temperatures exceed 125°C.
Does LMR43620MSC3RPERQ1 support external frequency synchronization?
Yes, LMR43620MSC3RPERQ1 supports external clock synchronization via its MODE/SYNC pin, which implements an in-phase PLL lock to an external signal between 0.2MHz and 2.5MHz. When synchronized, the device remains in FPWM mode and maintains full regulation without frequency foldback.
What is the output voltage accuracy of LMR43620MSC3RPERQ1 over temperature and line?
LMR43620MSC3RPERQ1 delivers 3.3V output with ±0.9% accuracy (3.27V to 3.33V) across the full input range (3.6V–36V) and temperature range (–40°C to +150°C) in FPWM mode. This tight regulation eliminates need for post-regulation LDOs in most automotive applications.
How does the MODE/SYNC pin configure light-load operation on LMR43620MSC3RPERQ1?
On LMR43620MSC3RPERQ1, the MODE/SYNC pin selects between three modes: logic-high (>1.6V) enables FPWM, logic-low (<1V) enables auto (PFM) mode, and a valid external clock signal enables synchronization. This eliminates external mode-control circuitry and simplifies multi-rail power sequencing.
Is LMR43620MSC3RPERQ1 qualified to CISPR25 Class 5 EMI standards?
Yes, LMR43620MSC3RPERQ1 meets CISPR25 Class 5 radiated and conducted emissions requirements out-of-the-box, achieved through integrated dual random spread spectrum, optimized HotRod™ pinout, and low-EMI package construction-no additional filtering or shielding is required for compliance.
