Product details
Overview
LMS36355QRNLRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous buck converter delivering 5 V at up to 3.5 A, with 400-kHz fixed switching frequency, 94% peak efficiency (13.5 V → 5 V), and integrated RESET output with 3-ms release timer. It operates across 3.9–36 V input, supports external frequency synchronization, and targets power rails in driver monitoring and surround-view ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the LMS36355QRNLRQ1 datasheet, LMS36355QRNLRQ1 pinout, LMS36355QRNLRQ1 application, or LMS36355QRNLRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.5-A continuous output, ±1.5% reference tolerance, 18-µA quiescent current at 5-V output/no load, wettable-flank 22-pin VQFN package, and automotive-grade thermal performance up to +150°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The LMS36355QRNLRQ1 implements peak current mode control with built-in compensation, enabling stable regulation without external loop components. Its flip-chip VQFN construction minimizes switch-node ringing and EMI, while frequency foldback allows regulation down to 3.5-V input for 5-V output.
It integrates a 3.1-V internal LDO (VCC), bootstrap gate drive (CBOOT), open-drain RESET with internal filtering, and FPWM/automatic light-load mode selection. The device features dual PVIN inputs, dedicated AVIN, and BIAS pin support for high-efficiency operation across wide VIN and load ranges.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM61460-Q1 | Higher 6-A rating, 2.1-MHz switching, smaller 12-pin WQFN; lower IQ (15 µA) but no integrated RESET | Suitable for space-constrained designs needing higher current or faster transient response; requires external reset supervisor | Select when board area is critical and 6-A capability is needed; avoid if RESET integration is mandatory for BOM reduction |
| TPS54560-Q1 | 5.5-A rating, adjustable output only, 100-kHz–2.5-MHz programmable frequency; no wettable flanks or integrated RESET | Fits designs requiring wide output adjustability (0.8–36 V) and flexible frequency tuning; lacks automotive-ready RESET function | Choose for non-fixed-output systems where design flexibility outweighs supervisor integration; verify solder inspection method compatibility |
Compared with LM61460-Q1 and TPS54560-Q1, the LMS36355QRNLRQ1 uniquely combines fixed 5-V output, integrated RESET with timer, wettable-flank packaging, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, safety-aware automotive power rails where component count and production testability are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the LMS36355QRNLRQ1?
The LMS36355QRNLRQ1 delivers up to 3.5 A continuous output current at 5 V under recommended operating conditions (TA ≤ +125°C, proper PCB thermal layout). This rating is validated per TI's datasheet Section 7.3 and applies to both fixed 5-V and adjustable versions within the LMS3635-Q1 family. Derating is required above +125°C ambient.
Does the LMS36355QRNLRQ1 require external compensation components?
No, the LMS36355QRNLRQ1 includes fully integrated compensation circuitry. Its peak current mode control architecture eliminates the need for external RC networks or type-II/type-III compensators-reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity while maintaining stability across all supported input/output combinations.
How does the RESET output of the LMS36355QRNLRQ1 function?
The LMS36355QRNLRQ1 provides an open-drain RESET output that asserts low during startup until the output reaches 96–110% of nominal 5 V, then releases high after a 2–4 ms internal timer. It includes 24-µs glitch filtering and remains low if EN is deasserted or output drops below threshold-enabling direct connection to microcontroller reset inputs without external supervision.
Can the LMS36355QRNLRQ1 operate with input voltages below 3.9 V?
Yes-the LMS36355QRNLRQ1 supports minimum input voltage of 3.55 V (rising) and 3.25 V (falling) per UVLO thresholds. It can regulate 5 V from as low as 3.5 V input in frequency foldback mode, making it suitable for cold-crank scenarios in 12-V automotive systems where battery voltage dips transiently.
Is the LMS36355QRNLRQ1 pin-compatible with other devices in the LMS36x5-Q1 family?
The LMS36355QRNLRQ1 shares identical 22-pin VQFN (RNL) pinout and footprint with all LMS3635-Q1 and LMS3655-Q1 variants-including LMS36353QRNLRQ1 (3.3 V) and LMS3635AQRNLRQ1 (adjustable). This enables hardware reuse across output voltage options, though current capability (3.5 A vs. 5.5 A) and spread-spectrum enablement differ by part number.
