Product details
Overview
LMS36355QRNLTQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous buck converter delivering 3.5-A output at 5 V, with 400-kHz fixed switching frequency, 94% efficiency at 13.5-V input/5-V/3.5-A output, and integrated compensation for compact power supply design in vehicle ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the LMS36355QRNLTQ1 datasheet, LMS36355QRNLTQ1 pinout, LMS36355QRNLTQ1 application, or LMS36355QRNLTQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive-grade thermal and EMI performance, and real-world selection guidance for USB charging, driver monitoring, surround-view, and LiDAR subsystems.
Technical Context
The LMS36355QRNLTQ1 implements peak current mode control with seamless PWM-to-PFM transition, enabling high efficiency across 100 µA–3.5-A load range while maintaining ±1.5% reference voltage tolerance and 2.5–5-ms soft-start timing. Its flip-chip VQFN package minimizes switch-node ringing and parasitic inductance.
It features a dedicated open-drain RESET output with 3-ms release timer, internal 3.1-V VCC LDO, bootstrap gate drive (CBOOT), and external frequency synchronization (SYNC) support from 250 kHz to 500 kHz - all operating over –40°C to +125°C ambient with 150°C junction limit.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 3.5 A continuous - supports full-load operation in automotive USB charge and ECU rails without derating at 125°C ambient. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5 V to 36 V - enables direct battery connection (including cold-crank 3.5 V) and transient tolerance up to 42 V for ≤500 ms. |
| Fixed Output Voltage | 5.0 V ±1.5% - meets USB 2.0/3.0 power rail accuracy requirements without external feedback resistors. |
| Switching Frequency | 400 kHz ±10% - allows use of compact 2.2-µH inductors and reduces EMI filter size in space-constrained modules. |
| Quiescent Current | 18 µA at 13.5 VIN/5 VOUT/0 A load - extends battery life in always-on vehicle systems like driver monitoring. |
| Efficiency | 94% at 13.5 VIN/5 VOUT/3.5 A - reduces thermal stress and eliminates need for heatsinks in sealed enclosures. |
| RESET Function | Open-drain with 3-ms release timer and 105%/94% VOUT thresholds - replaces discrete supervisor IC in safety-critical subsystems. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 22-pin VQFN (SON), 4.0 mm × 5.0 mm, wettable flanks - enables automated optical inspection (AOI) without x-ray, supporting high-reliability automotive PCB assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VCC) | Internal 3.1-V LDO output | Power source for internal control logic; requires 4.7-µF ceramic capacitor to AGND for stable regulation. |
| 2 (CBOOT) | Bootstrap capacitor node | Drives high-side MOSFET gate; connects via 470-nF capacitor to SW pin for efficient gate charging. |
| 3 (SYNC) | External clock input | Accepts 250–500 kHz system clock (rising-edge triggered); enables synchronized multi-rail power sequencing. |
| 4,14 (PVIN1/PVIN2) | Main power inputs | Parallel-connected VIN paths reduce IR drop and thermal resistance; must tie directly on PCB. |
| 5,10 (PGND1/PGND2) | Power ground terminals | Low-inductance return for internal MOSFETs; must be shorted to AGND and system ground plane. |
| 9 (SW) | Switch node | Connects to power inductor; low ringing due to flip-chip layout enables clean 5-V output in EMI-sensitive camera modules. |
| 15 (AVIN) | Analog input supply | Bias source for internal analog circuits; tied to PVIN on PCB to ensure noise-free reference generation. |
| 16 (FPWM) | Forced PWM mode control | Logic-high disables light-load PFM; ensures constant 400-kHz operation for predictable EMI in radar subsystems. |
| 18 (EN) | Enable input | Active-high with 1.7–2.0 V threshold; supports direct connection to microcontroller GPIO or battery monitor signal. |
| 19 (RESET) | Open-drain status flag | Asserts low during UVLO, thermal shutdown, or EN deactivation; eliminates need for external reset supervisor. |
| 20 (AGND) | Analog ground reference | Reference point for FB, VREF, and RESET; must be star-connected to PGND to minimize noise coupling. |
| 21 (FB) | Feedback input | Monitors regulated 5-V output directly (no divider); enables fast transient response and accurate line/load regulation. |
| 22 (BIAS) | Auxiliary bias input | Connected to output rail to improve light-load efficiency; required for operation below 3.5 V input. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM61480-Q1 | 5-A output, 2.2-MHz switching, smaller 3-mm × 2-mm VQFN - higher frequency enables smaller magnetics but increases EMI filtering complexity. | Preferred for space-constrained ADAS domain controllers needing >3.5-A output; less suitable for legacy 400-kHz EMI-filtered designs. | Select LM61480-Q1 only if board area is critical and EMI filters can be re-optimized for 2.2 MHz. |
| TPS54560-Q1 | 5-A output, 100-kHz–2.5-MHz adjustable frequency, no integrated compensation - requires external loop compensation and more external components. | Better for cost-sensitive non-safety-critical modules where design flexibility outweighs BOM simplicity. | Choose TPS54560-Q1 when frequency tuning or custom loop response is required, accepting added design effort and component count. |
Compared with LM61480-Q1 and TPS54560-Q1, the LMS36355QRNLTQ1 offers optimal balance of automotive qualification, integrated compensation, 400-kHz EMI compatibility, and 3.5-A capability - making it the most direct fit for USB charging and driver monitoring where layout simplicity and proven EMC behavior are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LMS36355QRNLTQ1, and how does it handle transients?
LMS36355QRNLTQ1 supports 36-V continuous input with 42-V transient tolerance for ≤500 ms at ≤0.01% duty cycle. This enables direct connection to 12-V automotive batteries while surviving load-dump events without external protection, simplifying front-end design in ECU power stages.
Does LMS36355QRNLTQ1 require external compensation components?
No, LMS36355QRNLTQ1 includes built-in compensation circuitry, eliminating the need for external Type-II or Type-III compensation networks. This reduces component count by ≥3 parts and simplifies PCB layout - especially valuable in space-constrained automotive modules like rear-view cameras.
How does the RESET output function on LMS36355QRNLTQ1, and what are its timing characteristics?
LMS36355QRNLTQ1 provides an open-drain RESET output with internal 3-ms release timer and glitch filtering (24 µs). It asserts low when output falls below 94% of nominal 5 V or during EN deactivation, providing reliable system-level fault signaling without external supervision circuitry.
Can LMS36355QRNLTQ1 operate with input voltages below 3.9 V, and what is the minimum functional input?
Yes - LMS36355QRNLTQ1 supports minimum input of 3.5 V after startup for full functionality at 3.5-A load, enabling operation during cold-crank conditions. Startup requires ≥3.9 V, but once running, it sustains regulation down to 3.5 V, critical for engine-start scenarios in driver monitoring systems.
What package type and thermal performance does LMS36355QRNLTQ1 offer for automotive applications?
LMS36355QRNLTQ1 uses a 22-pin VQFN (SON) package with 4.0 mm × 5.0 mm footprint and wettable flanks. Its RθJA is 29.4°C/W on a thermally optimized 4-layer PCB, enabling 3.5-A operation at 125°C ambient without heatsinks - ideal for sealed automotive enclosures.
