3 Description

The LMR36500 is the industry smallest 65-V, 50-mA

synchronous step-down DC/DC converter in 4-mm2

HotRod package. This easy-to-use converter can

handle input voltage transients up to 70 V, provide

excellent EMI performance and supports fixed, 3.3 V,

5 V and other adjustable output voltages.

The LMR36500 uses a peak current mode control

architecture with internal compensation to maintain

stable operation with minimal output capacitance. The

LMR36500 with the right resistor selection from the

RT pin to ground can be externally programmed to

any desired switching frequency of operation over a

wide range from 200 kHz to 2.2 MHz. The precision

EN/UVLO feature allows precise control of the device

during start-up and shutdown. The PGOOD flag,

with built-in glitch filter and delayed release, offers

a true indication of the system status, eliminating

the requirement for an external voltage supervisor.

The compact design size and rich feature set of

LMR36500 simplifies implementation for a wide range

of industrial applications.
