Product details
Overview
LMS3655LQRNLRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous buck converter delivering 5.5-A continuous output at 5 V with 400-kHz fixed switching frequency, 96% peak efficiency (12 V → 5 V), and 36-V max input voltage (42-V transient tolerant). It integrates high-side/low-side MOSFETs, internal compensation, soft-start, thermal shutdown, and a filtered open-drain RESET output - deployed in vehicle USB charging and surround-view ECU power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LMS3655LQRNLRQ1 datasheet, LMS3655LQRNLRQ1 pinout, LMS3655LQRNLRQ1 application, or LMS3655LQRNLRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5.5-A rated current, spread-spectrum EMI reduction, –40°C to +125°C ambient operation, 18-µA quiescent current at 3.3 VOUT, and 5-V fixed output with ±1.5% reference tolerance - all validated for automotive safety-critical subsystems.
Technical Context
The LMS3655LQRNLRQ1 employs peak current mode control with integrated gate drivers and flip-chip HotRod™ packaging to minimize switch-node ringing and radiated EMI. Its frequency foldback architecture enables regulation from as low as 3.5 V input while maintaining 5-V output, and external SYNC input allows synchronization to system clocks between 250 kHz and 500 kHz.
It features automatic light-load PFM/PWM transition, pin-selectable forced PWM mode via FPWM input, and a built-in 3-ms RESET release timer with glitch filtering. The device uses a single 1-V internal reference (±1.5% tolerance) and supports output adjustment from 1 V to 20 V in adjustable variants - though LMS3655LQRNLRQ1 is factory-configured for fixed 5-V output with spread-spectrum enabled.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.

|---|---|---|---|
| LM61480QRNLRQ1 | 8-A output, 2.5-V to 36-V input, 2.1-MHz switching, no spread spectrum | Better suited for space-constrained designs needing higher current and faster transient response | Select when board area is limited and >5.5-A peak load is required; verify EMI compliance without spread spectrum |
| TPS54560QDGQRQ1 | 5.5-A output, 3.5-V to 60-V input, 100–2500-kHz adjustable frequency, no integrated high-side FET | Requires external high-side MOSFET; supports wider input range but adds BOM and layout complexity | Choose when input may exceed 36 V (e.g., commercial truck 24-V systems); accept added design effort for extended VIN |
Compared with LM61480QRNLRQ1 and TPS54560QDGQRQ1, the LMS3655LQRNLRQ1 offers superior EMI performance via integrated spread spectrum and lower quiescent current (18 µA vs. 40 µA+), making it optimal for always-on automotive modules where thermal and noise constraints dominate.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the LMS3655LQRNLRQ1?
The LMS3655LQRNLRQ1 delivers 5.5 A continuous output current at 5 V under recommended operating conditions (–40°C to +125°C ambient, proper PCB thermal design). This rating is validated with internal MOSFETs and accounts for thermal derating above 85°C ambient. Peak current capability reaches 9.5 A before cycle-by-cycle current limit triggers, as specified in the datasheet's IL-HS parameter.
Does the LMS3655LQRNLRQ1 support adjustable output voltage?
No, the LMS3655LQRNLRQ1 is factory-configured for fixed 5-V output with spread-spectrum modulation enabled. It does not support external resistor feedback adjustment. For adjustable output, select LMS3655AQRNLRQ1 (adjustable, no spread spectrum) or LMS3655MQRNLRQ1 (adjustable, with spread spectrum). The FB pin on LMS3655LQRNLRQ1 is internally connected to the 5-V divider network.
What is the purpose of the BIAS pin on the LMS3655LQRNLRQ1?
The BIAS pin on the LMS3655LQRNLRQ1 supplies the auxiliary bias regulator that powers internal analog circuitry during light-load operation. It must be connected to the 5-V output node to enable low-IQ PFM mode and extend minimum input voltage capability down to 3.5 V. Leaving BIAS unconnected degrades light-load efficiency and disables frequency foldback functionality.
How does the RESET output function on the LMS3655LQRNLRQ1?
The RESET output on the LMS3655LQRNLRQ1 is an open-drain flag that asserts low when output voltage falls below 94% of nominal (4.7 V for 5-V output), during thermal shutdown, or when EN is low. It features a built-in 24-µs glitch filter and a 3-ms release timer after fault clearance. An external pullup resistor (typically 10 kΩ to 3.3 V or 5 V) is required to generate a valid logic-high signal.
Is the LMS3655LQRNLRQ1 pin-compatible with other LMS36x5-Q1 variants?
Yes, all LMS36x5-Q1 devices, including LMS3655LQRNLRQ1, share identical 22-pin VQFN (RNL) packaging, pinout, and footprint. This allows direct substitution between fixed-output (3.3 V, 5 V) and adjustable versions, as well as spread-spectrum and non-spread-spectrum variants - provided external components (e.g., feedback resistors, spread-spectrum enable) match the selected variant's configuration.
