Product details
Overview
LMS3655NQURNLRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous buck converter delivering 5.5-A continuous output at 3.3 V with 400-kHz fixed switching frequency, 92% typical efficiency (VIN=13.5 V), and 3.5-V minimum input start-up capability. It integrates high-side/low-side MOSFETs, internal compensation, soft-start, thermal shutdown, and a filtered open-drain RESET output - deployed in driver monitoring and surround-view ECU power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LMS3655NQURNLRQ1 datasheet, LMS3655NQURNLRQ1 pinout, LMS3655NQURNLRQ1 application, or LMS3655NQURNLRQ1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 36-V max input with 42-V transient tolerance, wettable-flank 22-pin VQFN package, spread-spectrum operation, FPWM mode control, and ±1.5% reference voltage accuracy across –40°C to +125°C ambient.
Technical Context
The LMS3655NQURNLRQ1 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 down to 3.5-V input for 3.3-V output, while external SYNC input (250–500 kHz) supports system-level clock synchronization.
It features automatic light-load PFM/PWM transition, built-in 3-ms RESET release timer with glitch filtering, and dual current-limit thresholds (high-side: 6.7–9.5 A; low-side: 6–7.5 A) for robust short-circuit protection. The BIAS pin supports auxiliary biasing or grounding for extended output adjustment up to 20 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 5.5 A continuous - sustains full-rated load at 3.3 V with ≤0.85-V dropout at +125°C junction. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5 V to 36 V - supports cold-crank (3.5 V) and load-dump (42 V/500 ms) without external protection. |
| Switching Frequency | 400 kHz ±10% - enables compact 2.2-µH inductors and reduces EMI filter size. |
| Quiescent Current | 18 µA at VIN=13.5 V, VOUT=3.3 V, no load - extends battery runtime in always-on automotive modules. |
| Reference Accuracy | ±1.5% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures stable 3.3-V output regulation across automotive temperature extremes. |
| RESET Output | Open-drain with 24-µs glitch filter and 3-ms release delay - replaces discrete supervisor IC in safety-critical ECUs. |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 29.4°C/W on 4-layer FR4 - supports 5.5-A operation without forced airflow in compact enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 22-pin VQFN (RNL), 4.0 mm × 5.0 mm, non-wettable flanks - optimized for automated optical solder-joint inspection and thermal performance via exposed thermal pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VCC | Internal LDO output | Supplies internal control circuitry; requires 4.7-µF ceramic capacitor to AGND for stability. |
| 2 CBOOT | Bootstrap capacitor node | Drives high-side MOSFET gate; connects to SW via 470-nF capacitor for reliable turn-on. |
| 3 SYNC | Frequency synchronization input | Accepts 250–500 kHz external clock (rising-edge triggered); disables internal oscillator when asserted. |
| 4,14 PVIN1/PVIN2 | Main power inputs | Parallel-connected high-current paths; must tie directly together and decouple locally to PGND. |
| 5,10 PGND1/PGND2 | Power ground terminals | Low-inductance return for internal MOSFETs; must be tied together and connected to AGND at single point. |
| 9 SW | Switch node | Connects to power inductor; high dv/dt node requiring minimized loop area to reduce EMI. |
| 15 AVIN | Analog input supply | Bias source for analog circuitry; connect directly to PVIN1/PVIN2 on PCB for noise immunity. |
| 16 FPWM | Forced PWM mode control | Logic-high forces continuous PWM (no PFM); prevents audible noise and ensures predictable timing. |
| 18 EN | Enable input | Active-high; 1.7–2.0 V threshold with 0.5 V hysteresis; supports direct connection to VIN for simple startup. |
| 19 RESET | Open-drain fault indicator | Asserts low during UVLO, thermal shutdown, or EN deactivation; requires external pullup resistor. |
| 20 AGND | Analog ground reference | Reference for FB, VREF, and internal circuits; connect to PGND at single point under device thermal pad. |
| 21 FB | Feedback input | Monitors regulated 3.3-V output directly (fixed option); sets output voltage via resistor divider in adjustable variants. |
| 22 BIAS | Auxiliary bias input | Can be grounded or connected to VOUT to extend adjustable range to 20 V; enables efficient biasing at light loads. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM61480QRNLRQ1 | 6-A output, 2.5-V to 36-V input, 2.1-MHz switching, lower IQ (15 µA), but no integrated SYNC or RESET. | Lacks dedicated RESET output and SYNC input - requires external supervisor and clock distribution for multi-rail systems. | Preferred for space-constrained designs needing higher frequency and smaller magnetics; not drop-in for RESET-dependent safety logic. |
| TPS54560QDDARQ1 | 5.5-A output, 3.5-V to 60-V input, 100-kHz to 2.5-MHz adjustable frequency, no spread spectrum or FPWM pin. | Higher max input voltage but lacks automotive-grade RESET, spread spectrum, and wettable flanks - increases validation effort. | Suitable for industrial 48-V systems; less optimal for automotive where RESET integration and EMI compliance are mandatory. |

FAQ
What is the input voltage range supported by the LMS3655NQURNLRQ1?
The LMS3655NQURNLRQ1 supports an input voltage range of 3.5 V to 36 V, with transient tolerance up to 42 V for ≤500 ms. This enables operation during automotive cold-crank (down to 3.5 V) and load-dump events without external protection circuitry - a key requirement for LMS3655NQURNLRQ1 deployment in front-end power stages of ADAS ECUs.
Does the LMS3655NQURNLRQ1 require external compensation components?
No, the LMS3655NQURNLRQ1 features built-in compensation, eliminating the need for external type-II or type-III compensation networks. This simplifies layout, reduces BOM count, and ensures stable operation across all operating conditions - a verified design feature confirmed in the LMS3655NQURNLRQ1 datasheet Section 7.7 and typical application schematics.
How does the RESET output of the LMS3655NQURNLRQ1 function?
The LMS3655NQURNLRQ1 provides an open-drain RESET output with internal 24-µs glitch filtering and a 3-ms release timer after fault clearance. It asserts low during UVLO, thermal shutdown, or EN deactivation, and requires only an external pullup resistor - replacing discrete supervisors and reducing board area in LMS3655NQURNLRQ1-based safety-critical designs.
Is the LMS3655NQURNLRQ1 pin-compatible with other devices in the LMS36x5-Q1 family?
Yes, all LMS36x5-Q1 devices share identical 22-pin VQFN (RNL) pinout and footprint, including LMS3655NQURNLRQ1, LMS36555QRNLRQ1, and LMS36353QRNLRQ1. This allows hardware reuse across 3.3-V, 5-V, and adjustable variants - though current capability (5.5 A vs. 3.5 A) and spread-spectrum enablement differ per part number.
What thermal performance can be expected from the LMS3655NQURNLRQ1 on a standard 4-layer PCB?
When mounted on a thermally optimized 4-layer FR4 board (40 mm × 30 mm), the LMS3655NQURNLRQ1 achieves RθJA = 29.4°C/W and RθJB = 5.4°C/W. This enables full 5.5-A operation at +85°C ambient without forced airflow - validated in TI's SNAS714C datasheet Section 7.5 and confirmed in LMS3655NQURNLRQ1 evaluation module thermal imaging reports.
