Product details
Overview
LMS3655MQRNLRQ1 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 400-kHz switching frequency and adjustable output (1 V to 20 V). It integrates high-side/low-side MOSFETs, internal compensation, soft-start, thermal shutdown, and a filtered open-drain RESET output-designed for mechanically scanning LIDAR and surround-view ECU power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LMS3655MQRNLRQ1 datasheet, LMS3655MQRNLRQ1 pinout, LMS3655MQRNLRQ1 application, or LMS3655MQRNLRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5.5-A rated output, ±1.5% reference tolerance, 18-µA quiescent current at 3.3 VOUT, spread-spectrum EMI reduction, and AEC-Q100 qualification for under-hood automotive use.
Technical Context
The LMS3655MQRNLRQ1 employs peak-current-mode control with built-in frequency foldback, enabling stable regulation down to 3.5 V input for 3.3-V output-critical for cold-crank scenarios. Its flip-chip VQFN package minimizes parasitic inductance, reducing switch-node ringing and conducted EMI without external filters.
It supports external synchronization (250–500 kHz), pin-selectable forced PWM mode, and automatic light-load PFM/PWM transition. The integrated 3-ms RESET release timer with internal filtering eliminates need for external supervisory ICs in safety-critical automotive subsystems.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LMS3655MQRNLRQ1?
The LMS3655MQRNLRQ1 delivers up to 5.5 A continuous output current under recommended operating conditions (TA ≤ 125°C, proper PCB thermal design). This rating applies to all output voltage configurations-fixed 3.3 V, fixed 5 V, or adjustable 1 V to 20 V-and is validated across the full AEC-Q100 Grade 1 temperature range (–40°C to +125°C ambient).
Does the LMS3655MQRNLRQ1 support spread-spectrum frequency modulation?
Yes, the LMS3655MQRNLRQ1 includes hardware-enabled spread-spectrum operation with ±3% frequency deviation and 1.2-Hz modulation pattern frequency. This feature is activated by the "M" suffix in the part number (LMS3655MQRNLRQ1) and reduces peak conducted EMI amplitude-critical for meeting CISPR 25 Class 5 requirements in automotive applications without additional filtering components.
What package type and dimensions does the LMS3655MQRNLRQ1 use?
The LMS3655MQRNLRQ1 uses a 22-pin VQFN package (RNL variant) with wettable flanks, measuring 4.0 mm × 5.0 mm and 0.9-mm height. Its flip-chip construction minimizes bond wire inductance, improving switch-node integrity and thermal resistance (RθJA = 29.4°C/W on 4-layer FR4 board), and enables automated optical inspection of solder joints.
How does the RESET output function on the LMS3655MQRNLRQ1?
The LMS3655MQRNLRQ1 features an open-drain RESET output with internal 24-µs glitch filter and 3-ms release timer. It asserts low when EN is de-asserted, output falls below 92–96.5% of setpoint, or thermal shutdown occurs. The output remains low for ≥3 ms after fault clearance, providing clean power-good signaling without external timing components-replacing discrete supervisors in ADAS ECUs.
Is the LMS3655MQRNLRQ1 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the LMS3655MQRNLRQ1 is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive use (Grade 1: –40°C to +125°C ambient), with device-level HBM ±2.5 kV and CDM ±1 kV ESD ratings. It undergoes full automotive qualification testing-including lifetime reliability, thermal cycling, and humidity bias-making it suitable for safety-critical ADAS subsystems such as surround-view cameras and LIDAR control units.
