Product details
Overview
LMS36353QRNLTQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous buck converter delivering 3.3 V at up to 3.5 A from a 3.9–36 V input, featuring 400-kHz fixed switching frequency, 92% typical efficiency at 13.5 VIN/3.3 VOUT/3.5 A, and integrated RESET with 3-ms release timer - deployed in driver monitoring and surround-view ECU power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LMS36353QRNLTQ1 datasheet, LMS36353QRNLTQ1 pinout, LMS36353QRNLTQ1 application, or LMS36353QRNLTQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.3-V fixed output, wettable-flank 22-pin VQFN (4.0 mm × 5.0 mm), –40°C to +125°C ambient operation, 18-µA quiescent current at no load, and automotive-grade thermal shutdown at 160°C.
Technical Context
The LMS36353QRNLTQ1 implements peak-current-mode control with internal compensation and seamless PWM/PSM transition, enabling stable regulation across 3.5-A loads while maintaining <±1.5% reference voltage tolerance. Its flip-chip VQFN package minimizes switch-node ringing and conducted EMI via reduced parasitic inductance and partial magnetic field cancellation.
It supports external frequency synchronization (250–500 kHz), pin-selectable forced PWM mode (FPWM pin), and automatic light-load PFM operation. The integrated RESET output provides filtered system-status indication with 105%/94% rising/falling thresholds relative to VOUT, eliminating need for external supervisory ICs.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed output voltage accuracy of the LMS36353QRNLTQ1 over temperature and load?
The LMS36353QRNLTQ1 delivers 3.3 V output with ±2% to ±3% regulation accuracy across –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature and full 0–3.5-A load range. This is ensured by a ±1.5% internal reference voltage tolerance and system-level validation using recommended external components per the datasheet's typical application circuit.
Does the LMS36353QRNLTQ1 require external compensation components?
No, the LMS36353QRNLTQ1 features fully integrated compensation. Its peak-current-mode architecture with internal transconductance amplifier and Type II compensation network eliminates the need for external RC networks - reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity while maintaining stability across all operating conditions.
How does the RESET output of the LMS36353QRNLTQ1 behave during startup and fault conditions?
The LMS36353QRNLTQ1 RESET output remains low until the output reaches 105% of nominal 3.3 V, then releases high after a 3-ms internal timer. It asserts low again if VOUT falls below 94% of 3.3 V or if EN is pulled low. The open-drain output requires an external pullup resistor and provides glitch-filtered status with 24-µs filtering.
Can the LMS36353QRNLTQ1 operate with input voltages below 3.9 V?
Yes - the LMS36353QRNLTQ1 supports a minimum input voltage of 3.55 V (rising) for full functionality at 3.5-A load, and can regulate down to 3.5 V after startup. Operation below 3.9 V is validated per Section 7.7 of the datasheet, though efficiency and dropout margin decrease as VIN approaches VOUT + 0.35 V.
What thermal performance can be expected from the LMS36353QRNLTQ1 on a standard 4-layer FR4 PCB?
When mounted on a thermally optimized 4-layer FR4 evaluation board (40 mm × 30 mm), the LMS36353QRNLTQ1 achieves a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 29.4°C/W and junction-to-board (RθJB) of 5.4°C/W. This enables sustained 3.5-A operation at +85°C ambient with appropriate copper pour and thermal vias under the exposed pad.
