Product details
Overview
LMS3635MQRNLRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous buck converter delivering up to 3.5 A output current, with 36-V max input, 400-kHz fixed switching frequency (±10%), adjustable output (1 V to 20 V), and spread-spectrum EMI reduction - deployed in surround-view ECU power rails and driver monitoring systems.
For engineers reviewing the LMS3635MQRNLRQ1 datasheet, LMS3635MQRNLRQ1 pinout, LMS3635MQRNLRQ1 application, or LMS3635MQRNLRQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (22-pin VQFN RNL), confirmed thermal metrics (RθJA = 29.4°C/W on 4-layer PCB), validated reset timing (3-ms release), and real-world efficiency data (94% @ 13.5 V → 5 V, 3.5 A).
Technical Context
The LMS3635MQRNLRQ1 implements peak-current-mode control with internal compensation and seamless PWM/PFM transition, enabling stable regulation across 3.5 V–36 V input while maintaining ≥92% efficiency at light loads. Its flip-chip VQFN construction minimizes switch-node ringing and radiated EMI via partial magnetic field cancellation.
It integrates a 3.1-V internal LDO (VCC), open-drain RESET with 24-µs glitch filter and 3-ms release timer, external SYNC input (250–500 kHz), and FPWM mode control - all operating across –40°C to +150°C junction temperature with AEC-Q100 HBM ±2500 V and CDM ±1000 V ratings.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LMS3635MQRNLRQ1 to start and regulate?
The LMS3635MQRNLRQ1 has a minimum operating input voltage of 3.55 V (rising) and 3.25 V (falling) with 0.3 V hysteresis. It can sustain regulation down to 3.5 V after startup - verified for full functionality at 3.5-A load with 3.3-V output. Below 3.5 V, operation is limited and requires validation per Section 7.7 of the datasheet. The LMS3635MQRNLRQ1 supports extended low-input operation only when configured for adjustable output and using appropriate external components.
Does LMS3635MQRNLRQ1 support spread-spectrum frequency modulation?
Yes, the LMS3635MQRNLRQ1 includes built-in spread-spectrum modulation with ±3% frequency dithering and 1.2-Hz pattern frequency. This feature is enabled by default in the M-suffix variant (as indicated in Table 5-1), reducing peak conducted EMI without requiring external components or layout changes. The LMS3635MQRNLRQ1 does not provide user disable control - spread spectrum is integral to its EMI performance certification.
What is the function of the BIAS pin on LMS3635MQRNLRQ1?
The BIAS pin on the LMS3635MQRNLRQ1 supplies auxiliary bias to the internal control circuitry, reducing quiescent current when connected to the output voltage. For output voltages ≤6 V, BIAS connects directly to VOUT. For extended outputs >15 V, BIAS must be grounded or powered externally (≤16 V). The LMS3635MQRNLRQ1 draws 53–62 µA from BIAS in AUTO mode at no load, contributing to its 18-µA total VIN IQ.
How is the RESET output timed and filtered on LMS3635MQRNLRQ1?
The LMS3635MQRNLRQ1 RESET output features a 24-µs internal glitch filter and a 3-ms release timer after fault clearance. It asserts low during EN deactivation, output undervoltage (<94% VOUT), or thermal shutdown. The LMS3635MQRNLRQ1 RESET remains low for exactly 3 ms after conditions normalize - providing deterministic, RC-free supervision for microcontrollers without external timing components.
Is LMS3635MQRNLRQ1 pin-compatible with other devices in the LMS36x5-Q1 family?
The LMS3635MQRNLRQ1 shares identical 22-pin VQFN (RNL) package, pinout, and footprint with all LMS3635-Q1 and LMS3655-Q1 variants, including LMS36355QRNLRQ1 and LMS3655MQRNLRQ1. However, maximum output current differs (3.5 A vs. 5.5 A), and current-limit thresholds vary - so PCB reuse is mechanically possible but requires validation of thermal design, inductor saturation, and current-sense loop stability for the target load.
