Product details
Overview
LMS3655AMRNLR from Texas Instruments is a 5.5-A, 36-V synchronous step-down DC-DC converter in a 4-mm × 5-mm VQFN-HR package, delivering adjustable 1-V to 20-V output with 400-kHz fixed switching frequency, ±1.5% reference voltage tolerance, and 96% peak efficiency at 12-V input to 5-V output. It serves as the primary power stage in high-performance industrial and telecom systems requiring robust transient response and low EMI.
For engineers reviewing the LMS3655AMRNLR datasheet, LMS3655AMRNLR pinout, LMS3655AMRNLR application, or LMS3655AMRNLR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.5-V minimum operating input (for 3.3-V output), 32-µA quiescent current at no load, integrated RESET with 3-ms release timer, FPWM mode control, and thermal shutdown at 160°C–185°C.
Technical Context
The LMS3655AMRNLR uses peak current mode control with frequency foldback architecture to maintain regulation down to 0.35-V dropout at 3.5-A load and extend operation to 3.5-V input for 3.3-V output. Its pseudo-random spread spectrum reduces EMI while minimizing switch-node ringing via flip-chip packaging and optimized magnetic field cancellation.
It integrates internal compensation, soft-start, current limiting (HS: 6.7–9.5 A, LS: 6–7.7 A), and an open-drain RESET output with built-in 24-µs glitch filter and 2–4-ms activation delay. The BIAS pin enables auxiliary bias regulation, and SYNC supports external clock synchronization from 250 kHz to 500 kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 5.5-A continuous load capability ensures stable rail delivery for FPGA core supplies and multi-rail industrial processors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5 V to 36 V (transient tolerant to 42 V) simplifies surge protection design in 24-V industrial bus applications. |
| Switching Frequency | 400 kHz ±10% enables compact 10-µH inductor and low-profile 3×47-µF output capacitor bank. |
| Quiescent Current | 32 µA at 3.3-V output and no load extends battery life in always-on monitoring subsystems. |
| Reference Tolerance | ±1.5% over –40°C to +125°C ambient guarantees tight output accuracy without external trimming. |
| Duty Cycle Max | 98% in dropout enables regulation with only 650-mV VIN–VOUT margin-critical for low-headroom 3.3-V systems. |
| RESET Delay | 3-ms release timer and 24-µs glitch filter eliminate need for external supervisor IC in safety-critical power sequencing. |
Pinout & Package
Package: VQFN-HR (RNL), 22-pin, 4.00 mm × 5.00 mm, 0.5-mm pitch, wettable flanks for optical solder inspection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (PVIN1, PVIN2) | Power input supply | Dual high-current input pins reduce PCB trace resistance and thermal stress; must be shorted on board. |
| PGND1, PGND2 | Power ground return | Separate low-side MOSFET ground paths minimize switching noise coupling into analog circuitry. |
| SW | Switch node | Connects directly to inductor; layout critical for EMI-flip-chip construction minimizes ring amplitude. |
| FB | Feedback input | Resistive divider sets output voltage; 1-V internal reference enables 1–20-V adjustment range. |
| EN | Enable control | Logic-level input (1.7–2.0 V threshold) with 0.5-V hysteresis prevents erratic startup during brownout. |
| RESET | Open-drain fault flag | Pulls low on EN deactivation or output undervoltage; operates down to 1.5-V input-no external supervisor needed. |
| BIAS | Auxiliary bias supply | Connected to VOUT to improve light-load efficiency and enable full functionality below 6-V output. |
| SYNC | Frequency sync input | Accepts 250–500 kHz external clock to eliminate beat frequencies in multi-regulator systems. |
| FPWM | Mode select | Forces continuous PWM (high) or enables auto PFM (low); eliminates audible noise in standby modes. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated compensation | Eliminates 4–6 external compensation components-reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity. |
| Low EMI switch node | Flip-chip packaging and minimized parasitic inductance cut radiated emissions by >10 dB vs conventional QFN. |
| Automatic light-load mode | Diode emulation reduces RMS inductor current and switching losses below ~200 mA load. |
| Thermal shutdown | 160°C trip with 15°C hysteresis protects against sustained overload without latch-up. |
| Soft-start time | 2.5–5 ms ramp prevents inrush current damage to input capacitors and downstream loads. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Module | Telecom Remote Radio Unit |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM61480RQR | Higher 8-A rating, 2.1-MHz switching, smaller 3-mm × 2-mm QFN; lacks integrated RESET and spread spectrum. | Better suited for space-constrained, high-frequency designs where supervisor IC is already present. | Select LM61480RQR when board area is critical and external reset supervision is acceptable. |
| TPS54560BQDDARQ1 | Automotive-grade (-40°C to +125°C), 60-V max input, 5-A output; no BIAS pin or FPWM mode; lower 92% peak efficiency. | Targeted at automotive infotainment and ADAS power rails requiring AEC-Q100 qualification. | Choose TPS54560BQDDARQ1 only for automotive programs needing qualified components and higher input voltage headroom. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LMS3655AMRNLR to regulate a 3.3-V output?
The LMS3655AMRNLR can regulate a 3.3-V output from as low as 3.5 V input after startup, per the System Characteristics table. This 650-mV dropout capability is enabled by frequency foldback architecture and 98% maximum duty cycle-critical for low-headroom industrial 3.3-V systems. Below 3.5 V, regulation is not guaranteed.
Does LMS3655AMRNLR support external frequency synchronization, and what is the valid range?
Yes, the LMS3655AMRNLR supports external frequency synchronization via the SYNC pin, accepting a clock signal from 250 kHz to 500 kHz. The device triggers on the rising edge and maintains stable operation within this range, allowing precise alignment with system clocks to avoid beat frequencies in multi-rail power architectures.
How does the RESET function of LMS3655AMRNLR behave when the EN pin is pulled low?
When EN is pulled low, the LMS3655AMRNLR forces the open-drain RESET output low regardless of output voltage status-providing unambiguous fault signaling during shutdown. RESET remains functional down to 1.5-V input voltage and includes a 24-µs glitch filter and 2–4-ms activation delay to prevent false triggering during transients.
What is the purpose of the BIAS pin on LMS3655AMRNLR, and how should it be connected?
The BIAS pin on LMS3655AMRNLR supplies auxiliary bias to the internal LDO and improves light-load efficiency. For outputs ≥6 V, connect BIAS to VOUT; for outputs <6 V, grounding BIAS is recommended. Operation above 15 V requires BIAS to be grounded or externally powered-TI specifies a maximum 16-V rating on this pin.
Is LMS3655AMRNLR pin-compatible with other devices in the LMS3655 family, such as LMS3655MMRNLR?
Yes, all LMS3655 variants-including LMS3655AMRNLR and LMS3655MMRNLR-share identical 22-pin VQFN-HR (RNL) packaging and pinout. The only functional difference is spread-spectrum enablement (LMS3655MMRNLR has it; LMS3655AMRNLR does not), making them drop-in replacements except where EMI requirements mandate spread spectrum.
