Texas Instruments LMQ644xx-Q1 36V Synchronous Buck DC-DC Converters

Texas Instrument LMQ644xx-Q1 36V Synchronous Buck DC-DC Converters are designed for high-current single or dual outputs. The device uses an interleaved, stackable, current-mode control architecture for a fast transient response, easy loop compensation, line regulation, excellent load, and accurate current sharing with an output clock supporting up to six phases for currents up to 36A. A high-side switch minimum on-time of 50ns gives large step-down ratios, enabling the direct conversion from 12V, 24V, or automotive inputs to low-voltage rails for reduced system complexity and design cost.

The Texas Instruments LMQ644xx-Q1 incorporates spread spectrum in an optimized enhanced HotRod QFN package, with wettable flanks and four 22nF high-frequency integrated capacitors to minimize EMI. Dual Random Spread Spectrum (DRSS) frequency hopping is set to ±10% (typical), drastically reducing emissions through triangular and pseudo-random modulation. A bias pin allows the LMQ644xx-Q1 to save losses by powering the device from the converter’s output, achieving a 9µA no-load quiescent current to extend the operating run-time in battery-powered systems. The LMQ644xx-Q1 can maintain high-efficiency light-load operation even when stacking multiple devices for high efficiency over the full load range.
