Product details
Overview
LMS3655LQRNLTQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous buck converter delivering up to 5.5 A continuous output current, operating from 3.9 V to 36 V input, with fixed 5-V output, 400-kHz switching frequency (±10%), and integrated high- and low-side MOSFETs. It enables compact, high-efficiency power conversion in vehicle USB charging and surround-view ECU applications.
For engineers reviewing the LMS3655LQRNLTQ1 datasheet, LMS3655LQRNLTQ1 pinout, LMS3655LQRNLTQ1 application, or LMS3655LQRNLTQ1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 5.5-A rated output, 36-V max input with 42-V transient tolerance, ±1.5% reference voltage accuracy, 18-µA quiescent current at 3.3-V output/no load, and automotive-grade thermal performance up to +150°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The LMS3655LQRNLTQ1 employs peak current mode control with internal compensation and automatic light-load PFM/PWM transition, enabling high efficiency across 10 µA–5.5 A load range. Its flip-chip VQFN package minimizes parasitic inductance, reducing switch-node ringing and conducted EMI without external filters.
It integrates a 3.1-V internal LDO (VCC), bootstrap gate driver (CBOOT), open-drain RESET with 3-ms release timer and built-in glitch filter, and supports external frequency synchronization (250–500 kHz). The BIAS pin enables efficient operation down to 3.5-V input via auxiliary bias regulation.

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 | 6-A rated, 2.5-V to 36-V input, 400-kHz fixed freq, but no spread spectrum or BIAS pin | Lacks input undervoltage foldback below 3.5 V and integrated RESET with filtering | Prefer when higher output current margin is required and spread-spectrum EMI reduction is not critical |
| TPS54560QDGQRQ1 | 5.5-A, 3.5-V to 60-V input, adjustable output only, no integrated BIAS or RESET | Requires external feedback network and supervisor IC; larger solution size | Select when wider input range (up to 60 V) is mandatory and board space allows discrete support components |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LMS3655LQRNLTQ1 to regulate a stable 5-V output?
The LMS3655LQRNLTQ1 requires a minimum input voltage of 3.9 V for full functionality after startup. However, with the BIAS pin connected to the 5-V output, it can regulate down to 3.5 V input while maintaining 5-V output accuracy - verified per Section 7.7 VIN-MIN specification and enabled by its auxiliary bias regulator architecture.
Does LMS3655LQRNLTQ1 support external frequency synchronization, and what is the valid range?
Yes, the LMS3655LQRNLTQ1 supports external frequency synchronization via the SYNC pin. The valid input frequency range is 250 kHz to 500 kHz, with rising-edge triggering. This allows precise alignment of switching edges across multiple rails in complex automotive systems to reduce beat-frequency EMI.
How does the RESET output of LMS3655LQRNLTQ1 behave during startup and fault conditions?
The LMS3655LQRNLTQ1 RESET output is open-drain and asserts low during EN deactivation, input UVLO, or thermal shutdown. It features a built-in 24-µs glitch filter and a 3-ms release timer after fault clearance. At startup, RESET remains low until output reaches 96% of 5 V and stabilizes, then transitions high after the 3-ms delay - providing clean, debounced power-good signaling.
What thermal performance can be expected from LMS3655LQRNLTQ1 on a standard 4-layer FR4 PCB?
When mounted on a thermally optimized 4-layer FR4 evaluation board (40 mm × 30 mm), the LMS3655LQRNLTQ1 achieves a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 29.4°C/W. This enables continuous 5.5-A operation at +125°C ambient with proper copper pour and thermal vias - validated per Section 7.5 Thermal Information data.
Is LMS3655LQRNLTQ1 pin-compatible with other devices in the LMS36x5-Q1 family?
Yes, all LMS36x5-Q1 variants - including LMS3635-Q1 and LMS3655-Q1 - share identical 22-pin VQFN (RNL) pinout and footprint. The LMS3655LQRNLTQ1 is functionally and physically compatible with LMS3635-Q1 designs, allowing direct upgrade to 5.5-A output capability without PCB revision, provided thermal and layout margins support the higher current.
