Product details
Overview
LMS3655MMRNLR from Texas Instruments is a 5.5-A, 36-V synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with adjustable output (1 V to 20 V), 400-kHz fixed switching frequency, ±1.5% reference voltage tolerance, and integrated compensation. It delivers 96% peak efficiency at 12 V → 5 V conversion and supports noise-sensitive industrial and medical power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LMS3655MMRNLR datasheet, LMS3655MMRNLR pinout, LMS3655MMRNLR application, or LMS3655MMRNLR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 3.5–36-V input range, 5.5-A continuous load capability, pseudo-random spread-spectrum EMI reduction, open-drain RESET with 3-ms release timer, and 4-mm × 5-mm VQFN-HR package with wettable flanks.
Technical Context
The LMS3655MMRNLR employs peak current mode control with frequency foldback architecture to maintain regulation down to 3.5 V input at 3.3 V output, enabling operation near dropout. Its pseudo-random spread spectrum reduces EMI without external filtering, while seamless PWM/PFM transition ensures high light-load efficiency.
It integrates an internal 3.1-V LDO (VCC), bootstrap driver (CBOOT), analog ground separation (AGND/PGND), and BIAS pin for auxiliary biasing. The device features built-in soft start, thermal shutdown, UVLO, and overcurrent protection with 6.7–9.5-A high-side current limit and 6–7.7-A low-side limit.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5 V to 36 V - supports wide industrial input sources including 12 V, 24 V, and 36 V rails with 42-V transient tolerance. |
| Output Current | 5.5 A continuous - sustains full load across –40°C to +125°C ambient without derating in thermally optimized layouts. |
| Switching Frequency | 400 kHz (±10%) - enables compact magnetics and predictable EMI filtering; synchronizable from 250–500 kHz via SYNC pin. |
| Efficiency | 96% peak at 12 V → 5 V - minimizes thermal stress and improves system-level power density in space-constrained designs. |
| Quiescent Current | 32 µA at 3.3 VOUT, no load - extends battery life in always-on or low-power standby applications. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.000 V ±1.5% - ensures tight output regulation accuracy across temperature and line/load variations. |
| Duty Cycle Max | 98% - enables ultra-low dropout operation (e.g., 3.5 V IN → 3.3 V OUT) without external boost circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 22-pin VQFN-HR (RNL), 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 requiring direct connection to bulk capacitors and shared PCB copper pour with PGND. |
| SW | Switch node | Connects to power inductor; high dv/dt node requiring minimized trace area and proximity to PGND for EMI control. |
| CBOOT | Bootstrap capacitor terminal | Drives high-side MOSFET gate; requires 470-nF ceramic capacitor between CBOOT and SW for reliable bootstrapping. |
| FB | Feedback input | Monitors output voltage divider; high-impedance node sensitive to noise-must be routed away from SW and PGND loops. |
| EN | Enable control | Logic-level input (1.7–2.0 V threshold); must not float-pull down via resistor if unused to ensure safe shutdown. |
| RESET | Open-drain fault flag | Asserts low during EN=low or VOUT out-of-tolerance; requires external pullup resistor to logic rail (e.g., VOUT or VCC). |
| BIAS | Auxiliary bias supply | Improves efficiency at low VIN by powering internal circuits from VOUT; must be grounded or externally powered above 15 V output. |
| SYNC | Frequency synchronization | Accepts 250–500 kHz external clock; rising-edge triggered-enables deterministic EMI alignment in multi-rail systems. |
| FPWM | Forced PWM mode select | High = fixed-frequency operation; low = automatic light-load PFM-prevents audible noise and improves light-load efficiency. |
| AGND / PGND | Analog & power ground | Separate ground pins require star-point connection on PCB to minimize noise coupling into feedback path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pseudo-random spread spectrum | Reduces peak EMI amplitude by >10 dB across 150 kHz–1 GHz without adding filter components or layout complexity. |
| Integrated compensation | Eliminates external Type-II/III compensation network-reduces BOM count and design iteration time for stable loop response. |
| RESET with 3-ms release timer | Provides glitch-filtered, delay-stabilized power-good signal-replaces discrete supervisor IC and saves board space in safety-critical systems. |
| Wettable-flank VQFN package | Enables automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints without X-ray-improves manufacturing yield and field reliability assurance. |
| Low dropout operation | Maintains regulation with only 0.35 V differential at 3.5-A load-supports legacy 3.3-V systems powered from marginal 3.6-V supplies. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for the LMS3655MMRNLR to regulate a 3.3-V output at full 5.5-A load?
The LMS3655MMRNLR requires a minimum input voltage of 3.8 V to maintain full 5.5-A output current while regulating a 3.3-V output within ±2.25% accuracy after startup. This value accounts for dropout voltage, inductor DCR, and internal losses under worst-case thermal conditions.
Does the LMS3655MMRNLR support external frequency synchronization, and what is the valid SYNC input range?
Yes, the LMS3655MMRNLR supports external frequency synchronization via the SYNC pin. The valid input frequency range is 250 kHz to 500 kHz, with rising-edge triggering. The device maintains lock across this range and tolerates duty cycles from 25% to 75%.
How does the RESET output of the LMS3655MMRNLR behave when the EN pin is pulled low?
When EN is pulled low, the LMS3655MMRNLR disables regulation and forces the RESET pin low regardless of output voltage status. This behavior provides unambiguous system-level fault indication and eliminates need for external enable coordination logic.
What is the purpose of the BIAS pin on the LMS3655MMRNLR, and when must it be connected?
The BIAS pin powers internal circuitry from the output rail to improve efficiency at low input voltages. It must be connected to VOUT for outputs ≤15 V. For outputs >15 V, BIAS must be grounded or supplied externally to avoid exceeding its 16-V absolute maximum rating.
Can the LMS3655MMRNLR operate in forced PWM mode, and how is it enabled?
Yes, the LMS3655MMRNLR supports forced PWM mode to eliminate variable-frequency operation and associated audible noise. It is enabled by driving the FPWM pin high (≥1.5 V); pulling FPWM low selects automatic light-load PFM mode with diode emulation.
