The LMQ644xx-Q1 is a 36V, synchronous, buck, DC/DC converter for high-current single or dual outputs. The device uses an interleaved, stackable, current-mode control architecture for easy loop compensation, fast transient response, excellent load and line regulation, and accurate current sharing with an output clock supporting up to 6 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 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 a combination of triangular and pseudo-random modulation. A bias pin allows the LMQ644xx-Q1 to save losses by powering the device from the output of the converter, 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.
