Product details
Overview
LMS3655AQRNLTQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous buck converter delivering up to 5.5 A output current, 36-V max input, 400-kHz fixed switching frequency, ±1.5% reference voltage tolerance, and 18-µA quiescent current at 3.3 VOUT with no load-designed for USB charging and driver monitoring ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the LMS3655AQRNLTQ1 datasheet, LMS3655AQRNLTQ1 pinout, LMS3655AQRNLTQ1 application, or LMS3655AQRNLTQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive-grade thermal and EMI performance, and real-world selection guidance for high-reliability 12-V/24-V automotive power rails.
Technical Context
The LMS3655AQRNLTQ1 implements peak-current-mode control with integrated high-side (60–130 mΩ) and low-side (40–80 mΩ) MOSFETs, enabling stable regulation from 3.5 V to 36 V input down to adjustable 1–20 V output. Its frequency foldback architecture sustains regulation even at VIN = 3.5 V for 3.3-V output.
It features a true open-drain RESET output with 3-ms release timer and internal glitch filtering, plus FPWM mode control, external SYNC input (250–500 kHz), and built-in soft-start (2.5–5 ms), eliminating need for external supervisors or timing components in automotive ECU designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 5.5 A continuous - supports high-power USB PD and surround-view camera modules without external current boosting |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5 V to 36 V - accommodates cold-crank (3.5 V) and load-dump (42 V transient) conditions per ISO 7637-2 |
| Switching Frequency | 400 kHz ±10% - enables compact 2.2-µH inductors and reduces EMI filter size in space-constrained ECUs |
| Quiescent Current | 18 µA at 3.3 VOUT, no load - meets automotive standby power requirements (e.g., < 100 µA for always-on modules) |
| Reference Voltage Tolerance | ±1.5% - ensures tight output regulation across –40°C to +125°C ambient for safety-critical ADAS sensors |
| Junction Temperature Range | –40°C to +150°C - qualified for under-hood deployment in engine control and LIDAR systems |

Package: 22-pin VQFN (RNL), 4.0 mm × 5.0 mm, wettable flanks - supports automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints per IPC-A-610.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VCC | Internal 3.1-V LDO output | Power source for internal control logic; requires 4.7-µF ceramic capacitor to AGND for stability |

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 | 8-A output, 2.5-V min input, 2.1-MHz switching - higher frequency but lower VIN min and no frequency foldback | Better suited for space-constrained infotainment head units; not viable for 3.5-V cold-crank operation | Select LMS3655AQRNLTQ1 when cold-crank robustness below 3.9 V is required; LM61480Q requires external pre-buck stage |
| TPS54560QDGQRQ1 | 5.5-A, 3.5–60-V input, 100-kHz–2.5-MHz adjustable frequency - no integrated RESET, higher IQ (43 µA) | Used in body control modules where wide VIN range matters more than integrated supervision | Choose LMS3655AQRNLTQ1 when RESET integration, 18-µA IQ, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 junction temp (150°C) are mandatory |
Compared with LM61480QRNXTQ1 and TPS54560QDGQRQ1, the LMS3655AQRNLTQ1 uniquely combines cold-crank operation (3.5 V), integrated RESET with filtering, and 150°C junction rating - making it the only option qualified for under-hood LIDAR and high-temp ECU deployments without derating.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LMS3655AQRNLTQ1 to regulate a 3.3-V output at full 5.5-A load?
The LMS3655AQRNLTQ1 maintains regulation at 3.3 V and 5.5 A with a minimum input voltage of 3.8 V after startup, per Section 7.7 of the datasheet. This enables operation during automotive cold-crank events where battery voltage dips to ~3.5 V, supported by the device's frequency foldback architecture that sustains control loop stability below nominal input.
Does LMS3655AQRNLTQ1 support external synchronization, and what is the valid frequency range?
Yes, LMS3655AQRNLTQ1 supports external synchronization via the SYNC pin, accepting a system clock in the 250 kHz to 500 kHz range with 25%–75% duty cycle. This allows precise alignment of switching edges across multiple rails in ADAS domain controllers, reducing beat-frequency EMI and simplifying EMC filter design for automotive compliance.
How does the RESET output of LMS3655AQRNLTQ1 behave during startup and fault conditions?
The LMS3655AQRNLTQ1 RESET output is open-drain and asserts low during EN deactivation, UVLO, thermal shutdown, or output undervoltage. It releases high 3 ms after regulation is established, with internal 24-µs glitch filtering. This eliminates need for external RC timing networks and provides a clean, debounced system reset signal compatible with automotive microcontrollers.
What package type and mounting features does LMS3655AQRNLTQ1 use for automotive reliability?
LMS3655AQRNLTQ1 uses a 22-pin VQFN (RNL) package measuring 4.0 mm × 5.0 mm with wettable flanks. This enables automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints without x-ray, meeting IATF 16949 zero-defect requirements. The flip-chip construction also minimizes parasitic inductance, reducing switch-node ringing and improving EMI performance in dense automotive PCB layouts.
Can LMS3655AQRNLTQ1 operate with an adjustable output voltage, and what is the supported range?
Yes, LMS3655AQRNLTQ1 supports adjustable output from 1 V to 20 V using the FB pin and external resistor divider. The internal 1.0-V reference has ±1.5% tolerance, and operation above 15 V requires grounding or externally powering the BIAS pin. For outputs between 1 V and 6 V, standard application circuitry applies; extended ranges may require layout adjustments and factory consultation.
