Product details
Overview
LMS3635LQRNLTQ1 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 fixed switching frequency, 94% typical efficiency (13.5 V → 5 V, 3.5 A), and integrated RESET output with 3-ms release timer - deployed in vehicle USB charging and surround-view ECU power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LMS3635LQRNLTQ1 datasheet, LMS3635LQRNLTQ1 pinout, LMS3635LQRNLTQ1 application, or LMS3635LQRNLTQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.5-A continuous output, 3.5-V minimum input for full functionality, ±1.5% reference tolerance, spread-spectrum EMI reduction, and wettable-flank 4.0 mm × 5.0 mm VQFN package for automated optical inspection.
Technical Context
The LMS3635LQRNLTQ1 implements peak current mode control with internal compensation and seamless PWM/PFM transition, enabling high efficiency across light to full load. Its flip-chip construction minimizes switch-node ringing and radiated EMI, while the integrated 3.1-V VCC LDO powers internal circuitry and supports external bias via the BIAS pin.
It features a dedicated SYNC input (250–500 kHz) for system clock synchronization, FPWM pin for forced PWM mode selection, and a true open-drain RESET output with built-in glitch filtering and voltage threshold hysteresis (±1% of VOUT), eliminating need for external supervisory ICs in automotive domain controllers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 3.5 A continuous - supports automotive infotainment and ADAS sub-systems without external current boosting |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5 V to 36 V - enables direct battery connection (12 V/24 V systems) with 42-V transient tolerance for surge robustness |
| Fixed Output Voltage | 5 V ±1.5% - meets USB PD and MCU core rail accuracy requirements without external feedback resistors |
| Switching Frequency | 400 kHz ±10% - balances inductor size, efficiency, and EMI in space-constrained automotive PCBs |
| Quiescent Current | 18 µA at VIN = 13.5 V, VOUT = 5 V, no load - extends battery runtime in always-on vehicle modules |
| Thermal Shutdown | 160°C rising threshold with 15°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload in under-hood environments |
| RESET Output | Open-drain, 3-ms release delay, 105–110% upper / 92–96.5% lower VOUT threshold - provides reliable power-good signaling for SoC boot sequencing |
Pinout & Package
Package: 22-pin VQFN (SON), 4.00 mm × 5.00 mm body size, wettable flanks for solder-joint inspection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Internal 3.1-V LDO output | Supplies internal control logic; requires 4.7-µF capacitor to AGND for stability |
| CBOOT | Bootstrap capacitor node | Drives high-side MOSFET gate; connects to SW via 470-nF ceramic capacitor |
| SYNC | External clock synchronization input | Accepts 250–500 kHz system clock; rising-edge triggered for deterministic phase alignment |
| PVIN1 / PVIN2 | Main power input terminals | Parallel-connected high-current paths; must be shorted on PCB to minimize loop inductance |
| SW | Power switch node | Connects to inductor; low parasitic inductance due to flip-chip layout reduces voltage overshoot |
| PGND1 / PGND2 | Power ground return | Low-impedance paths for high-side/low-side MOSFET currents; tied directly to AGND at single point |
| FPWM | Forced PWM mode control | High = fixed-frequency operation; low = automatic light-load PFM mode; must not float |
| EN | Enable input | Logic-high active; 1.7–2.0 V threshold with 0.5 V hysteresis ensures noise immunity in automotive harnesses |
| RESET | Open-drain power-good flag | Asserts low during fault or EN deactivation; requires external pull-up for system reset coordination |
| FB | Feedback input | Monitors regulated 5-V output directly; no resistor divider needed for fixed-output variant |
| BIAS | Auxiliary bias regulator input | Connected to output rail to reduce quiescent current; enables efficient operation at light loads |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Spread-spectrum modulation | ±3% frequency dithering reduces peak conducted EMI by >10 dB, easing CISPR 25 Class 5 compliance |
| Integrated soft-start | 4-ms ramp time prevents inrush current and output overshoot during cold start in automotive environments |
| Low dropout performance | 0.35-V VIN–VOUT differential at 3.5 A ensures regulation down to 5.35 V input for 5-V output |
| Thermal-enhanced packaging | Wettable-flank VQFN with RθJA = 29.4°C/W (4-layer board) enables 3.5-A operation without heatsink in 85°C ambient |
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C ambient), HBM ±2.5 kV, CDM ±1 kV - validated for under-dash deployment |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM61480QRNXTQ1 | 5.5-A output, 2.5-V min input, 2.1-MHz switching - higher current but narrower VIN range and higher fSW | Better suited for compact 12-V→5-V designs requiring faster transient response; less optimal for 24-V input or low-EMI needs | Select when board space is constrained and 24-V input is not required; verify thermal margin at 5.5 A continuous |
| TPS54560QDGQRQ1 | 5.5-A output, 3.5–60-V input, 100–2500-kHz adjustable fSW - wider VIN but no integrated RESET or spread spectrum | Preferred for industrial 48-V systems or where external supervision is already present; lacks automotive-grade RESET integration | Choose when input exceeds 36 V or when programmable frequency is mandatory; add external supervisor for power-good signaling |
Compared with LM61480QRNXTQ1 and TPS54560QDGQRQ1, the LMS3635LQRNLTQ1 uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, integrated RESET with filtering, spread-spectrum EMI reduction, and wettable-flank packaging - making it the optimal choice for cost-sensitive, EMI-critical automotive 5-V power rails where board-level supervision must be minimized.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LMS3635LQRNLTQ1 to regulate 5 V at full 3.5-A load?
The LMS3635LQRNLTQ1 requires a minimum input voltage of 5.35 V to maintain 5-V output regulation at 3.5-A load, based on its 0.35-V dropout specification. This value accounts for worst-case conditions including temperature, load, and component tolerances. Below this threshold, the device enters dropout mode with reduced switching frequency and potential output deviation beyond ±1.5% tolerance. The 3.5-V absolute minimum input applies only to light-load or no-load conditions.
Does LMS3635LQRNLTQ1 require external compensation components?
No, the LMS3635LQRNLTQ1 includes fully integrated compensation circuitry optimized for standard 5-V output configurations. No external RC networks or compensation capacitors are needed - simplifying design, reducing BOM count, and improving production yield. This internal compensation is factory-trimmed and validated across temperature and process variations, ensuring stable operation with recommended input/output capacitors and inductor values per the datasheet.
How does the RESET output of LMS3635LQRNLTQ1 behave during enable/disable transitions?
The RESET output of LMS3635LQRNLTQ1 asserts low when EN is pulled below 0.4 V (shutdown), and remains low for a guaranteed 2–4 ms after EN rises above threshold before releasing high. It also pulls low during output undervoltage (below 92–96.5% of 5 V) or thermal shutdown. The internal 24-µs glitch filter rejects noise spikes, and the open-drain structure requires an external pull-up resistor to system rail for proper logic-level signaling to microcontrollers or FPGAs.
Can LMS3635LQRNLTQ1 operate with input voltage below 3.5 V?
The LMS3635LQRNLTQ1 supports input voltages as low as 3.5 V only under no-load or very light-load conditions, per its VIN-OPERATE specification. At 3.5 V input, it cannot sustain 5-V output at any significant load due to dropout limitations. For 3.5-A operation, minimum input is 5.35 V. Attempting operation below 3.5 V risks UVLO activation and uncontrolled shutdown; the device is not rated for sub-3.5-V operation in production systems.
Is LMS3635LQRNLTQ1 pin-compatible with other devices in the LMS36x5-Q1 family?
The LMS3635LQRNLTQ1 shares identical 22-pin VQFN (RNL) package, pinout, and footprint with all LMS3635-Q1 and LMS3655-Q1 variants, including LMS36355QRNLTQ1 and LMS3655LQRNLTQ1. However, output current capability (3.5 A vs. 5.5 A), current limit thresholds, and thermal performance differ - so PCB layout and thermal design must match the selected variant's ratings. Electrical compatibility is maintained for drop-in replacement within the same output voltage option.
