Overview

The LMZM23600SILR is a highly integrated DC-DC power module that combines a 36V buck converter with an internal inductor into a compact 3.0mm x 3.8mm MicroSIP package. It supports input voltages from 4V to 36V and provides an adjustable output from 1.2V to 15V at up to 500mA. This module is designed to simplify power supply design by eliminating external component selection for the power stage and loop compensation.

Why Choose This Part

The integrated inductor design significantly reduces EMI concerns and layout complexity compared to discrete switching regulators. With a low quiescent current of 7uA at 12V and high light-load efficiency via Auto PFM mode, it extends battery life in standby applications. The module also features external frequency synchronization to minimize interference in noise-sensitive systems.

Applications

Industrial Field Sensors
Ideal for 24V bus industrial transmitters where board space is extremely limited and high efficiency is required.
Factory Automation
Provides reliable point-of-load regulation for PLC modules and distributed control systems.
Test and Measurement
Utilized in handheld instrumentation due to its low 7uA quiescent current and small footprint.
Grid Infrastructure
Efficiently steps down high-voltage rails for smart meters and protection relays.

Getting Started

Engineers can evaluate the module using the LMZM23600EVM evaluation board to test efficiency and thermal performance. Design and simulation are supported via TI WEBENCH Power Designer, which helps calculate the necessary external feedback and input/output capacitors. Layout should prioritize placing input bypass capacitors as close as possible to the VIN and GND pins to minimize parasitic inductance.
