Product details
Overview
LMS3655AQRNLRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous buck converter delivering up to 5.5 A continuous output current, 400-kHz fixed switching frequency (±10%), and adjustable output voltage from 1 V to 20 V. It operates from 3.5 V to 36 V input, supports external synchronization, and integrates RESET with 3-ms release timer - used in vehicle-to-vehicle communication ECUs and mechanically scanning LIDAR power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LMS3655AQRNLRQ1 datasheet, LMS3655AQRNLRQ1 pinout, LMS3655AQRNLRQ1 application, or LMS3655AQRNLRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5.5-A rated current capability, wettable-flank 22-pin VQFN package, ±1.5% reference tolerance, 18-µA quiescent current at 3.3 VOUT, and AEC-Q100 qualification for ambient temperatures from –40°C to +125°C.
Technical Context
The LMS3655AQRNLRQ1 employs peak-current-mode control with built-in compensation and automatic light-load PFM/PWM transition to maintain high efficiency across load ranges. Its flip-chip construction minimizes switch-node ringing and EMI, while frequency foldback enables regulation down to 3.5-V input for 3.3-V output.
It features integrated high-side and low-side MOSFETs with 60–130 mΩ and 40–80 mΩ RDS(on), respectively, thermal shutdown at 160–185°C, and a dedicated BIAS pin supporting extended output adjustment up to 20 V when externally powered or grounded.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LMS3655AQRNLRQ1?
The LMS3655AQRNLRQ1 delivers up to 5.5 A continuous output current under recommended operating conditions (TA ≤ 125°C, proper PCB thermal design). This rating applies to both fixed 3.3-V/5-V and adjustable output configurations, verified across the full –40°C to +125°C ambient range per AEC-Q100 requirements. The LMS3655AQRNLRQ1 achieves this with integrated 60–130 mΩ high-side and 40–80 mΩ low-side MOSFETs.
Does the LMS3655AQRNLRQ1 support adjustable output voltage, and what is the range?
Yes, the LMS3655AQRNLRQ1 supports adjustable output voltage using an external resistor divider on the FB pin. Its internal 1.0-V reference enables a standard range of 1 V to 20 V. Operation below 3.3 V or above 6 V requires grounding or externally powering the BIAS pin, and extended-range operation (1–20 V) is fully specified with appropriate external component selection per the datasheet's Section 7.3.
What package type and mounting features does the LMS3655AQRNLRQ1 use?
The LMS3655AQRNLRQ1 uses a 22-pin VQFN (RNL) package measuring 4.0 mm × 5.0 mm with wettable flanks. This feature allows automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints without x-ray, fulfilling automotive zero-defect manufacturing requirements. The device employs flip-chip construction to minimize parasitic inductance and improve EMI performance.
How does the RESET function operate on the LMS3655AQRNLRQ1?
The LMS3655AQRNLRQ1 provides an open-drain RESET output with built-in 24-µs glitch filtering and a 3-ms release timer after fault clearance. It asserts low during EN deactivation, UVLO, or thermal shutdown, and releases high only after the output stabilizes and the timer expires. The RESET pin requires an external pull-up resistor and is referenced to AGND, eliminating need for discrete supervisor ICs.
Is the LMS3655AQRNLRQ1 qualified for automotive applications, and what grade does it meet?
Yes, the LMS3655AQRNLRQ1 is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications and meets Grade 1 specifications: ambient operating temperature from –40°C to +125°C, HBM ESD classification level 2 (±2500 V), and CDM level C6 (±1000 V). Its junction temperature rating extends to +150°C, and all electrical characteristics are ensured across this full range per TI's production test flow.
