Product details
Overview
LMR43620RS3QRPERQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous buck converter delivering 2A continuous output at fixed 3.3V, operating from 3.0V to 36V input with 42V load-dump tolerance. It features 1.2µA non-switching quiescent current at 13.5VIN, peak-current-mode control, and dual random spread spectrum for CISPR25 Class 5 compliance-designed for always-on ADAS radar ECUs and infotainment head units.
For engineers reviewing the LMR43620RS3QRPERQ1 datasheet, LMR43620RS3QRPERQ1 pinout, LMR43620RS3QRPERQ1 application, or LMR43620RS3QRPERQ1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its RT-pin-adjustable switching frequency (200kHz–2.2MHz), absence of MODE/SYNC synchronization capability, integrated compensation, 2mm × 2mm HotRod™ QFN package with wettable flanks, and thermal shutdown at 158°C–186°C.
Technical Context
The LMR43620RS3QRPERQ1 uses peak-current-mode control with internal slope compensation and auto-mode frequency foldback to maintain regulation down to 1.5µA no-load input current. Its control loop integrates a 1V reference amplifier, soft-start timer (3.5ms typical), and hiccup-mode overcurrent protection triggered by high-side peak current limit (2.8–3.9A) and zero-cross detection (30–135mA).
EMI performance is engineered via dual random spread spectrum dithering (±4% Δf), bond-wire-free HotRod™ packaging, and optimized pinout minimizing parasitic inductance. The device supports external UVLO via EN pin (0.7V wake threshold, 0.35V hysteresis) and provides open-drain PGOOD with 2.5ms activation delay and 40µs deglitch filtering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 2A continuous DC output-supports full-load operation in compact automotive modules without forced airflow. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.0V to 36V with 42V transient tolerance-handles cold-crank (3VIN) and load-dump events in 12V/24V automotive systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.5µA at 13.5VIN, no load, auto mode-enables >10-year battery standby in always-on ADAS sensors. |
| Switching Frequency | Adjustable 200kHz–2.2MHz via RT resistor-avoids noise-sensitive bands (e.g., AM radio) and enables size-optimized magnetics. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±0.9% over –40°C to +150°C-meets tight rail requirements for MCU cores and SerDes interfaces. |
| Package | 2mm × 2mm VQFN-HR (RPE) with wettable flanks-enables automated optical inspection and robust solder joint reliability. |
| Thermal Limit | Junction temperature range –40°C to +150°C; thermal shutdown at 158°C–186°C with 15°C–20°C hysteresis-ensures safe operation under hood conditions. |
Pinout & Package
LMR43620RS3QRPERQ1 is housed in a 9-pin, 2mm × 2mm VQFN-HR (RPE) package with exposed thermal pad and wettable flanks for enhanced solderability and thermal dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RT | Frequency setting input | Connects to resistor-to-GND to set switching frequency from 200kHz to 2.2MHz; not MODE/SYNC-no sync capability. |
| 2 - PGOOD | Open-drain power-good flag | Signals valid output after 2.5ms delay; requires external pull-up; low during EN=low or output fault. |
| 3 - EN/UVLO | Enable and undervoltage lockout | 0.7V wake threshold with 0.35V hysteresis; supports direct connection to VIN for simple enable control. |
| 4 - VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 3.0V–36V with 42V transient rating; bypass capacitor must be placed directly between VIN and GND. |
| 5 - SW | Switch node | Connects to power inductor; carries high di/dt; requires short, low-inductance PCB trace routing. |
| 6 - BOOT | Bootstrap supply | 100nF capacitor to SW provides gate drive for high-side MOSFET; critical for proper HS turn-on. |
| 7 - VCC | Internal LDO output | 3.3V internal supply for control circuitry; decouple with 1µF ceramic to GND; not for external loads. |
| 8 - VOUT/FB | Output voltage sense / feedback | Configured as fixed 3.3V output; connects directly to regulated output node-no external resistors required. |
| 9 - GND | Power ground | Primary return path for high-current loops; connect to CIN with wide, low-inductance traces. |

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 | Includes MODE/SYNC pin for external clock synchronization and fixed 2.2MHz FSW; same 3.3V fixed output and 2A rating. | Required where multiple regulators must be phase-synchronized to suppress beat frequencies in multi-rail systems. | Select when system-level EMI control mandates synchronized switching; LMR43620RS3QRPERQ1 lacks this capability. |
| LMR36506RPERQ1 | 65V input rating, 600mA output, pin-compatible 2mm × 2mm HotRod™ package; lower current, higher voltage capability. | Suitable for higher-voltage domains (e.g., 48V mild-hybrid gate drivers) but cannot replace 2A load requirements. | Choose only if input voltage exceeds 36V or output current ≤600mA; not a functional substitute for LMR43620RS3QRPERQ1's 2A capacity. |
Compared with LMR43620MSC3RPERQ1, LMR43620RS3QRPERQ1 trades synchronization capability for simplified design and lower cost in single-regulator applications; versus LMR36506RPERQ1, it delivers triple the output current at lower max input voltage-making it optimal for mainstream 12V/24V ADAS and infotainment rails.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage transient rating for LMR43620RS3QRPERQ1?
The LMR43620RS3QRPERQ1 supports 42V transients on the VIN pin, meeting automotive load-dump requirements per ISO 7637-2. This rating is validated across the full –40°C to +150°C junction temperature range and applies to transients under 100ns duration. LMR43620RS3QRPERQ1 maintains regulation during these events without latch-up or damage when properly decoupled with ≥10µF ceramic input capacitance.
Does LMR43620RS3QRPERQ1 support adjustable output voltage?
No, LMR43620RS3QRPERQ1 is configured for fixed 3.3V output. Its VOUT/FB pin is internally trimmed and requires direct connection to the output node-no external feedback resistors are needed or supported. For adjustable variants, consider LMR43620RS5QRPERQ1 (5V fixed/adjustable) or RT-pin variants with FB configuration.
What is the thermal shutdown behavior of LMR43620RS3QRPERQ1?
LMR43620RS3QRPERQ1 triggers thermal shutdown at a junction temperature between 158°C and 186°C, with 15°C–20°C hysteresis for recovery. Once tripped, the device halts switching and enters hiccup mode with 30–75ms retry intervals until temperature falls below the recovery threshold. This protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking in under-hood environments.
Can LMR43620RS3QRPERQ1 operate with no output load?
Yes, LMR43620RS3QRPERQ1 operates stably at zero load in auto mode, drawing only 1.5µA from VIN at 13.5V. Its frequency foldback reduces switching frequency under light loads to maintain regulation while minimizing IQ. No minimum load requirement exists-unloaded operation is fully characterized and supported across the full temperature range.
What package type and dimensions does LMR43620RS3QRPERQ1 use?
LMR43620RS3QRPERQ1 uses the RPE (VQFN-HR) package: a 9-pin, 2mm × 2mm quad flat no-lead with wettable flanks and an exposed thermal pad. The nominal package size includes pins; the die pad measures 1.2mm × 1.2mm. This HotRod™ construction eliminates bond wires to reduce parasitic inductance and improve EMI performance.
