Product details
Overview
LMS3635LQRNLRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous buck converter delivering 3.5-A output at fixed 5 V, with 400-kHz ±10% switching frequency, 94% efficiency at 13.5-V input/5-V/3.5-A output, and 18-µA quiescent current (VIN) - used in automotive USB charge and driver monitoring ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the LMS3635LQRNLRQ1 datasheet, LMS3635LQRNLRQ1 pinout, LMS3635LQRNLRQ1 application, or LMS3635LQRNLRQ1 equivalent, key selection factors include its spread-spectrum EMI reduction, open-drain RESET with 3-ms release timer, FPWM mode control, and 3.5-V minimum input capability for cold-crank operation.
Technical Context
The LMS3635LQRNLRQ1 implements peak-current-mode control with integrated compensation, enabling stable regulation across 3.5 V to 36 V input while maintaining 400-kHz fixed-frequency operation. Its flip-chip VQFN package minimizes parasitic inductance, reducing switch-node ringing and conducted EMI.
It features automatic light-load PFM/PWM transition, external SYNC input (250–500 kHz), and a dedicated BIAS pin supporting high-efficiency operation at low output voltages. The device integrates thermal shutdown (160–185°C trip), overcurrent protection (HS/LS limits), and UVLO with hysteresis (3.25–3.55 V rising).
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LMS3635LQRNLRQ1 to maintain regulation?
The LMS3635LQRNLRQ1 supports a minimum input voltage of 3.5 V after startup for full functionality at 3.5-A load, enabling reliable operation during automotive cold-crank conditions. This is achieved via frequency foldback architecture that sustains regulation even when input drops below nominal levels. Below 3.5 V, the device enters undervoltage lockout. The LMS3635LQRNLRQ1 datasheet specifies 3.25–3.55 V rising threshold with 0.3 V hysteresis for robust start-up behavior.
Does LMS3635LQRNLRQ1 require external compensation components?
No, the LMS3635LQRNLRQ1 includes fully integrated compensation circuitry, eliminating the need for external type-II or type-III compensation networks. This simplifies layout, reduces BOM count, and ensures stable operation across all recommended input/output conditions with standard 2.2-µH inductors and ceramic output capacitors. The LMS3635LQRNLRQ1's internal compensation is factory-trimmed and validated over temperature and process variations.
How does the RESET output of LMS3635LQRNLRQ1 function during power-up?
The LMS3635LQRNLRQ1 RESET output asserts low until the output reaches 96% of nominal 5 V and remains stable for 3 ms, then transitions high to indicate valid regulation. It includes built-in 24-µs glitch filtering and a 3-ms release timer, removing the need for external RC timing. During EN assertion, RESET goes high only after soft-start completes and output settles - ensuring precise system-level power sequencing. This behavior is intrinsic to the LMS3635LQRNLRQ1's internal supervisory logic.
Is LMS3635LQRNLRQ1 compatible with external clock synchronization?
Yes, the LMS3635LQRNLRQ1 supports external frequency synchronization via its SYNC pin, accepting a 250–500 kHz square-wave clock with 25–75% duty cycle. Synchronization allows alignment of switching edges across multiple converters to avoid beat frequencies and simplify EMI filter design. The LMS3635LQRNLRQ1 locks to the external clock on rising edges and maintains phase coherence - critical for multi-rail automotive ECUs where noise coupling must be minimized.
What package and thermal characteristics define LMS3635LQRNLRQ1's automotive suitability?
The LMS3635LQRNLRQ1 uses a VQFN-22 (RNL) package with 4.0 mm × 5.0 mm body and wettable flanks, enabling automated optical inspection of solder joints per automotive manufacturing standards. Its thermal resistance is 29.4°C/W (θJA on 4-layer board), allowing full 3.5-A load at +125°C ambient. The LMS3635LQRNLRQ1 also features AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification (–40°C to +125°C ambient), HBM ±2.5 kV, and junction temperature rating up to +150°C - confirming robustness for under-hood deployment.
