LMS3635LQRNLRQ1

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Overview

The LMS3635LQRNLRQ1 is a high-efficiency, synchronous step-down DC/DC converter designed for automotive applications. It integrates two main buck converters and one low-dropout (LDO) regulator within a single package. The device supports an input voltage range of 4.5V to 36V, providing robust performance in noisy automotive environments. Each main buck channel delivers up to 2A of output current, while the LDO provides additional regulated power. Operating at a fixed switching frequency of 2MHz, it allows for the use of small external inductors and capacitors, minimizing the overall solution size.
