The LMR60420 is a highly efficient 3V to 36V, ultra-low IQ, synchronous buck converter that enables high power density and low EMI. The LMR60420 is designed to minimize the end product cost and size by reducing the number of external passive components required to generate a stable design. Intended for demanding industrial applications, LMR60420 devices have electrical characteristics specified up to a maximum junction temperature of 150ºC.
The LMR60420 offers key features that allow for design flexibility depending on the desired operating conditions:
Each converter features a pair of integrated power MOSFETs designed for delivering up to 2A of output current. All variants of the LMR60420 allow for every device to be configured to either a fixed output voltage or an adjustable output voltage depending on the presence of feedback resistors. The fixed output voltage setting is determined by the specific orderable part number, which can be found in the Device Comparison Table.
The LMR60420 offers several protection features that make the device an excellent choice for demanding applications. The feedback pin has a voltage rating which makes sure the pin is able to withstand an output voltage short circuit to battery even when in fixed output voltage configuration. The device disables FPWM switching when the input voltage exceeds VINOVP(R) which prevents negative currents from overcharging the input voltage in the event that the output voltage is shorted to the input supply. Thermal shutdown disables switching and allows the LMR60420 to cool before attempting to restart.
The current-mode control architecture with 30ns minimum on-time allows high conversion ratios at high frequencies, easy loop compensation, fast transient response, and excellent load and line regulation. The converters also feature a HotRod package with enhanced spread spectrum that enables low-EMI performance and eases qualification of industrial and noise-sensitive designs.
