Product details
Overview
LMS3635AQRNLRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous buck converter delivering up to 3.5 A at adjustable output (1 V to 20 V), with 400-kHz fixed switching frequency, 96% peak efficiency (12 V → 5 V), and integrated RESET with 3-ms release timer - deployed in driver monitoring and surround-view ECU power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LMS3635AQRNLRQ1 datasheet, LMS3635AQRNLRQ1 pinout, LMS3635AQRNLRQ1 application, or LMS3635AQRNLRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 36-V input range with 42-V transient tolerance, 18-µA quiescent current at 3.3 VOUT/no load, ±1.5% reference voltage tolerance, and wettable-flank SON-22 package for automated optical inspection.
Technical Context
The LMS3635AQRNLRQ1 implements peak current mode control with internal compensation and seamless PWM/PFM transition, enabling high efficiency across light-to-full load. Its flip-chip VQFN construction minimizes switch-node ringing and radiated EMI via partial magnetic field cancellation.
It features a dedicated BIAS pin for auxiliary bias regulation, external SYNC input (250–500 kHz), FPWM mode control, and an open-drain RESET output with built-in 24-µs glitch filter and 2–4 ms activation delay - all operating over –40°C to +125°C ambient with 150°C junction limit.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LMS3635AQRNLRQ1?
The LMS3635AQRNLRQ1 has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 40 V across AVIN, PVIN1, and PVIN2 pins. It sustains 42 V transients for up to 500 ms at ≤0.01% duty cycle - enabling robust operation during automotive load-dump events without external clamping components.
Does the LMS3635AQRNLRQ1 support adjustable output voltage?
Yes, the LMS3635AQRNLRQ1 supports adjustable output from 1 V to 20 V using an external resistor divider on the FB pin. Its internal 1.000-V reference (±1.5%) sets VOUT = 1 V × (1 + R1/R2), and operation above 15 V requires grounding or externally powering the BIAS pin.
What is the purpose of the BIAS pin on the LMS3635AQRNLRQ1?
The BIAS pin on the LMS3635AQRNLRQ1 supplies the auxiliary bias regulator. Connecting it to the output improves light-load efficiency and enables operation with input voltages as low as 3.5 V - critical for cold-crank scenarios in automotive applications where battery voltage sags below nominal levels.
How does the RESET function operate on the LMS3635AQRNLRQ1?
The LMS3635AQRNLRQ1's open-drain RESET pin asserts low during EN deactivation, UVLO, or thermal shutdown. It features a built-in 24-µs glitch filter and 2–4 ms release delay after fault clearance, providing a clean, debounced system reset signal that eliminates the need for external supervisor ICs in most automotive designs.
Is the LMS3635AQRNLRQ1 pin-compatible with other devices in the LMS36x5-Q1 family?
No - the LMS3635AQRNLRQ1 shares the same SON-22 package and pinout as all LMS36x5-Q1 variants (including LMS3655-Q1), but differs in internal current-limit thresholds and maximum output current (3.5 A vs. 5.5 A). Electrical compatibility requires verification of HS/LS current limits and thermal design margins for the target load.
