Frequently Asked Questions
What is the input voltage range of the PLMR36506RRPET?
The PLMR36506RRPET accepts a wide input voltage range of 3.8V to 36V, making it suitable for 12V, 24V, and automotive 28V rail applications. This wide range enables a single device to serve both industrial and automotive power supply designs without redesign.
What package does the PLMR36506RRPET come in and how many pins does it have?
The PLMR36506RRPET is available in a 20-pin VQFN package measuring 3.5mm × 3.5mm with a thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation. The compact footprint makes it ideal for space-constrained board designs requiring high current delivery.
What are typical applications for the PLMR36506RRPET?
Typical applications include industrial point-of-load converters, factory automation control boards, smart metering modules, telecom equipment power stages, and automotive non-safety subsystems. The 6A output and wide input range cover most 5V, 3.3V, and 1.8V regulated rail requirements in these domains.
Is the PLMR36506RRPET RoHS compliant and what is its MSL rating?
Yes, the PLMR36506RRPET is fully RoHS compliant and lead-free. Its Moisture Sensitivity Level is MSL3, requiring proper dry storage and a baking process if the exposure time limit is exceeded before reflow soldering.
What alternatives are compatible with the PLMR36506RRPET?
Functional alternatives include the TPS54620 (6A, 4.5V–60V input, SO-8), LMR36506 (6A, 3.8V–36V, LQFN), and the Monolithic Power Systems MPM3699 (6A, integrated inductor). Pin-compatible drop-in replacements should be verified against your specific schematic and layout.
