Product details
Overview
LMR43620MSC5RPERQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous buck converter delivering 2A continuous output at fixed 5V, operating from 3.0V–36V input with 42V load-dump tolerance, featuring 2.2MHz fixed switching frequency, <2.5µA quiescent current at 150°C, and spread-spectrum EMI reduction for radar ECU power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LMR43620MSC5RPERQ1 datasheet, LMR43620MSC5RPERQ1 pinout, LMR43620MSC5RPERQ1 application, or LMR43620MSC5RPERQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (RPE VQFN-HR, 9-pin, 2mm × 2mm), confirmed thermal performance (TJ up to +150°C), validated PGOOD timing (2.5ms activation delay), and real-world light-load efficiency data (≥85% at 1mA).
Technical Context
The LMR43620MSC5RPERQ1 uses peak-current-mode control with internal compensation and dual-random spread-spectrum dithering to minimize output capacitance and meet CISPR-25 Class 5 EMI requirements. Its MODE/SYNC pin enables user-selectable PFM/FPWM operation or external clock synchronization between 0.2–2.5MHz.
It integrates high-side (260mΩ max) and low-side (140mΩ max) MOSFETs, supports auto-mode frequency foldback down to ~200kHz under light loads, and maintains regulation with ≤0.9V dropout at 1A output-enabling robust cold-crank (3VIN) and load-dump (42V transient) operation in automotive body and ADAS systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 2A continuous DC - supports radar sensor modules and infotainment SoCs without derating at TJ = 125°C. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.0V–36V - covers automotive cold-crank (3V) and 42V transients (with 42V abs max rating). |
| Fixed Output Voltage | 5.00V ±0.6% - tight accuracy over –40°C to +150°C ensures stable USB-PD or MCU I/O rail operation. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.0µA at 13.5VIN, 0A load, auto mode - enables >10-year battery standby in always-on telematics. |
| Switching Frequency | Fixed 2.2MHz - avoids AM band interference and allows use of compact 1µH inductors in 10mm × 10mm designs. |
| EMI Performance | CISPR-25 Class 5 compliant - eliminates need for common-mode chokes in head-unit power supplies. |

Pinout & Package
LMR43620MSC5RPERQ1 is housed in a 2mm × 2mm, 9-pin HotRod™ QFN (RPE package) with wettable flanks for automated optical inspection and enhanced solder-joint reliability in automotive reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 MODE/SYNC |
Digital control input | Selects PFM/FPWM mode or synchronizes switching to external clock (0.2–2.5MHz); must not be floated. |
| 2 PGOOD |
Open-drain status flag | Asserts high after 2.5ms soft-start when VOUT reaches 90% of target; enables system reset sequencing without external supervisor. |
| 3 EN/UVLO |
Enable & precision UVLO input | Wakes at 0.7V, starts regulation at 1.23V with 0.35V hysteresis; supports direct connection to VIN for simple enable logic. |
| 4 VIN |
Main power input | Accepts 3.0–36V with 42V transient rating; requires local 10µF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND. |
| 5 SW |
Power switch node | Connects to external 1µH power inductor; carries high di/dt; requires short, wide PCB trace to minimize ringing. |
| 6 BOOT |
High-side gate driver supply | Requires 100nF ceramic capacitor to SW; enables efficient 30V-rated internal high-side MOSFET drive. |
| 7 VCC |
Internal LDO output | 3.3V ±3% regulated supply for control circuitry; decoupled with 1µF capacitor to GND; not for external loading. |
| 8 VOUT/FB |
Output voltage sense / feedback | Configured as fixed 5V output; connects directly to output capacitor; sets regulation point with internal 1.00V reference. |
| 9 GND |
Power ground | Primary thermal and current return path; must be connected to CIN with low-inductance, wide copper pour. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar automotive buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMR43620MSC3RPERQ1 | Same RPE package, 2A rating, but fixed 3.3V output; identical 2.2MHz FSW and spread-spectrum EMI features. | Used where 3.3V logic rails dominate (e.g., MCU cores, CAN transceivers); not suitable for 5V USB or analog sensors. | Select when system requires 3.3V instead of 5V; pin-compatible drop-in replacement with no layout change. |
| LMR43620RS5QRPERQ1 | Same 5V fixed output and 2A rating, but RT-pin variant: adjustable 200kHz–2.2MHz FSW via external resistor; no spread spectrum. | Preferred for noise-sensitive audio subsystems where deterministic frequency avoids beat tones; lacks CISPR-25 Class 5 compliance. | Choose when custom frequency tuning is needed to avoid sensitive bands; requires external RT resistor and forfeits EMI certification. |
Compared with LMR43620MSC3RPERQ1, the LMR43620MSC5RPERQ1 delivers higher output voltage for USB peripherals and analog front-ends, while retaining identical thermal, EMI, and packaging advantages. Against LMR43620RS5QRPERQ1, it trades frequency flexibility for guaranteed CISPR-25 Class 5 compliance and simplified BOM with no external resistor.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the LMR43620MSC5RPERQ1?
The LMR43620MSC5RPERQ1 is rated for continuous operation up to +150°C junction temperature, with thermal shutdown triggering at 168°C and 20°C hysteresis. This Grade 1 AEC-Q100 qualification enables under-hood deployment in engine control units and radar modules where ambient temperatures exceed 105°C.
Does the LMR43620MSC5RPERQ1 support external frequency synchronization?
Yes, the LMR43620MSC5RPERQ1 supports external clock synchronization via its MODE/SYNC pin, accepting input frequencies from 0.2MHz to 2.5MHz. When synchronized, it locks phase to the external clock's rising edge and remains in FPWM mode, maintaining constant frequency even at light loads.
What is the typical quiescent current of the LMR43620MSC5RPERQ1 at no load?
The LMR43620MSC5RPERQ1 draws 2.0µA typical non-switching input current at 13.5VIN, 0A load, and room temperature in auto mode. At 150°C junction temperature, total IQ remains below 2.5µA-enabling multi-year battery standby in always-on telematics and ADAS camera systems.
How does the PGOOD function behave during startup of the LMR43620MSC5RPERQ1?
The LMR43620MSC5RPERQ1 asserts PGOOD high 2.5ms after EN goes high, once VOUT/FB reaches 90% of its 5.00V target. The open-drain output requires a pull-up resistor; it remains low during soft-start and transitions cleanly without glitch, eliminating need for external reset supervisors in automotive ECUs.
Is the LMR43620MSC5RPERQ1 pin-compatible with other devices in the LMR436x0-Q1 family?
Yes, the LMR43620MSC5RPERQ1 shares identical 9-pin RPE (2mm × 2mm) HotRod™ QFN packaging and pinout with all LMR436x0-Q1 variants-including LMR43620MSC3RPERQ1 (3.3V), LMR43620RS5QRPERQ1 (adjustable FSW), and LMR43610-Q1 series-enabling scalable power design and BOM reuse across 1A/2A and 3.3V/5V configurations.
