Product details
Overview
LMS3635NQRNLRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous buck converter delivering 3.3 V at up to 3.5 A, with 400-kHz fixed switching frequency, ±1.5% reference voltage tolerance, and integrated spread-spectrum EMI reduction. It operates across 3.9–36 V input, supports external synchronization, and features a built-in open-drain RESET output with 3-ms release timer-used in driver monitoring and surround-view ECU power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LMS3635NQRNLRQ1 datasheet, LMS3635NQRNLRQ1 pinout, LMS3635NQRNLRQ1 application, or LMS3635NQRNLRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.3-V fixed output, wettable-flank 22-pin VQFN (4.0 mm × 5.0 mm) package, 18-µA quiescent current at 3.3 VOUT, 0.35-V dropout at 3.5 A, and AEC-Q100 qualification for under-hood automotive use.
Technical Context
The LMS3635NQRNLRQ1 implements peak-current-mode control with internal compensation, enabling stable regulation without external loop components. Its flip-chip VQFN construction minimizes parasitic inductance, reducing switch-node ringing and conducted EMI-critical for automotive USB charge and LIDAR systems where noise immunity is mandatory.
It integrates dual MOSFETs (HS RDSON ≤ 130 mΩ, LS RDSON ≤ 80 mΩ), automatic light-load PFM/PWM transition, pin-selectable forced PWM mode via FPWM, and thermal shutdown at 160–185°C. The BIAS pin enables efficient operation down to 3.5 V input while maintaining 3.3 V output regulation.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LMS3635NQRNLRQ1 to regulate 3.3 V at full 3.5-A load?
The LMS3635NQRNLRQ1 requires a minimum input voltage of 3.5 V after start-up to maintain 3.3-V output regulation at 3.5 A load, per Section 7.7 of the datasheet. This extended low-input capability is enabled by the BIAS pin connection to VOUT, allowing operation during automotive cold-crank conditions where battery voltage dips to ~6 V.
Does LMS3635NQRNLRQ1 require external compensation components?
No, the LMS3635NQRNLRQ1 features built-in compensation circuitry. Its peak-current-mode architecture with internal error amplifier and PWM comparator eliminates the need for external compensation networks-reducing BOM count and layout complexity while ensuring stability across all operating conditions.
How does the spread-spectrum function operate in LMS3635NQRNLRQ1?
The LMS3635NQRNLRQ1 implements spread-spectrum modulation by dithering the 400-kHz switching frequency ±3% at 1.2 Hz. This spreads electromagnetic energy across a wider bandwidth, lowering peak conducted and radiated emissions-verified in Figure 7-12 of the SNAS714C datasheet-without affecting output regulation or transient response.
Can LMS3635NQRNLRQ1 be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, the LMS3635NQRNLRQ1 accepts an external clock on the SYNC pin (Pin 3) within 250–500 kHz. The device triggers on rising edges and maintains tight frequency alignment-enabling synchronization with system clocks to avoid beat frequencies in multi-rail automotive domains such as ADAS domain controllers.
What is the purpose of the BIAS pin on LMS3635NQRNLRQ1?
The BIAS pin (Pin 22) supplies the auxiliary bias regulator that powers internal circuitry. When connected to the 3.3-V output, it enables the LMS3635NQRNLRQ1 to start and regulate from as low as 3.5 V input-critical for automotive cold-crank operation. Without BIAS connection, minimum input rises to 3.9 V.
