Quick Sourcing Note

LM53603 from Texas Instruments is a Power_Management synchronous step-down buck converter in a 16-lead HTSSOP (PWP) package measuring 5.00 mm x 4.40 mm x 1.00 mm nominal. The device supports a 3 A maximum load current, 3.5 V to 36 V operating input range, and 42 V input transient tolerance. Adjustable output operation covers 3.3 V to 10 V with ±2% output-voltage tolerance and a fixed 2.1 MHz switching frequency. It is suited to regulated DC rail generation where adjustable output voltage, low shutdown current, no-load supply current, RESET monitoring, synchronization or FPWM logic control, and -40°C to 150°C junction-temperature operation are required.

Product Overview

The LM53603 is a Texas Instruments synchronous step-down buck converter categorized under Power_Management. It provides up to 3 A output current from an operating input range of 3.5 V to 36 V, with recommended VIN limits of 3.9 V minimum and 36 V maximum. The adjustable output option covers 3.3 V to 10 V, uses a 1.000 V typical reference, and specifies ±2% output-voltage tolerance.

The device uses a fixed 2.1 MHz switching frequency and includes operating details for UVLO, enable thresholds, RESET thresholds, FPWM and SYNC logic levels, and high-side and low-side current limits. Current-related specifications include 24 µA typical input supply current at no load, 8 µA typical operating quiescent current under the stated BIAS condition, and 1.7 µA typical shutdown current at TJ=25°C.

Packaging is a 16-lead HTSSOP (PWP), 5.00 mm x 4.40 mm x 1.00 mm nominal. Thermal data includes 42.5°C/W junction-to-ambient resistance, 22.6°C/W junction-to-case top resistance, and 1.1°C/W junction-to-case bottom resistance on the specified test conditions.
