Product details
Overview
LT3640EFE#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual-channel monolithic buck switching regulator IC with integrated power-on reset and window-mode watchdog timer. It delivers 1.3A from its high-voltage nonsynchronous channel (4V–35V input, 3.3V/0.8A typical output) and 1.1A from its low-voltage synchronous channel (2.5V–5.5V input, 1.8V/0.8A typical output), operating at adjustable 350kHz–2.5MHz frequency with Burst Mode® for light-load efficiency. It serves as primary power management in automotive ECU and industrial control subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the LT3640EFE#TRPBF datasheet, LT3640EFE#TRPBF pinout, LT3640EFE#TRPBF application, or LT3640EFE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-input voltage ranges, programmable reset/watchdog timing via external capacitors, 290µA quiescent current, 55V transient input tolerance, and thermally enhanced 28-pin TSSOP package with exposed GND pad.
Technical Context
The LT3640EFE#TRPBF integrates two independent current-mode buck regulators sharing a single adjustable oscillator. The high-voltage channel uses an internal 2.4A NPN switch with nonsynchronous rectification and 36.5V OVLO; the low-voltage channel employs internal synchronous MOSFETs (PMOS/NMOS) with cycle-by-cycle current limiting and valley-current foldback during overload.
Its power-on reset (RST1/RST2) and window-mode watchdog (WDO/WDI/CWDT) are independently programmable via external capacitors, with RST timeout ≥8ms and watchdog boundaries of 1.68–35ms. Soft-start is implemented via SS1/SS2 pins with 1.4–2.5µA charge current, and regulation references are 1.265V (FB1) and 600mV (FB2).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range (HV) | 4V to 35V continuous; 55V non-repetitive 1s transient - enables direct battery-fed operation in 12V/24V automotive systems. |
| Input Voltage Range (LV) | 2.5V to 5.5V - supports post-regulation from HV output or independent 3.3V/5V rails. |
| Switching Frequency | 350kHz to 2.5MHz, set by RT resistor or SYNC pin - allows optimization of inductor size vs. efficiency in space-constrained designs. |
| Quiescent Current | 290µA typical - sustains low-power standby modes without compromising wake-up responsiveness. |
| Output Current (HV) | 1.3A maximum - sufficient to power microcontrollers, FPGAs, or sensor interfaces requiring 3.3V/1.8V rails. |
| Output Current (LV) | 1.1A maximum - supports higher-current digital loads on secondary rail with synchronous efficiency >90% at 2MHz. |
| Watchdog Type | Window mode (tWDL = 1.68–2.2ms, tWDU = 27–35ms) - detects both stuck and runaway µP behavior, enhancing system reliability. |
Pinout & Package
The LT3640EFE#TRPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 28-pin plastic TSSOP package (FE) with exposed GND pad (Pin 29), θJA = 30°C/W, requiring PCB soldering of the exposed pad for thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FB1 (Pin 6) | High-voltage feedback reference input | Regulated to 1.265V; sets VOUT1 via resistor divider - determines accuracy and stability of primary output. |
| FB2 (Pin 1) | Low-voltage feedback reference input | Regulated to 600mV; sets VOUT2 via resistor divider - enables precise 1.8V/1.2V generation for core logic supplies. |
| EN/UVLO (Pin 3) | Enable and undervoltage lockout input | 1.26V threshold with 2µA hysteresis - provides programmable VIN brownout protection and shutdown control. |
| RST1 / RST2 (Pins 9, 8) | Open-drain reset outputs | Asserted until FB1 >1.165V or FB2 >550mV, then timed by CPOR capacitor - ensures sequenced µP startup. |
| WDO / WDI / WDE (Pins 10, 14, 13) | Watchdog interface | WDO open-drain flag; WDI accepts µP pulses; WDE enables watchdog - implements fail-safe monitoring of host processor activity. |
| SW1 (Pin 19) | High-voltage switch node | Connects to inductor and catch diode cathode - carries high dI/dt; requires careful layout to minimize EMI and voltage spikes. |
| VIN2 (Pin 24) | Low-voltage channel input supply | Powers LV regulator and internal circuitry when >3V - enables flexible two-stage or independent supply configurations. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent buck regulation | Enables simultaneous 3.3V/1.8V generation from separate inputs or cascaded topology - reduces BOM count and board area. |
| Programmable window-mode watchdog | Rejects both too-frequent and too-infrequent µP pulses - prevents false resets while catching firmware hangs or clock faults. |
| Burst Mode® operation | Maintains >85% efficiency at 1mA load - extends battery life in always-on industrial sensors without sacrificing light-load ripple performance. |
| Thermally optimized TSSOP-28 | Exposed GND pad and θJC = 8°C/W - supports 1.3A/1.1A continuous output in compact industrial enclosures without forced air. |
| Robust fault protection | Cycle-by-cycle current limit, short-circuit tolerant, 55V transient survival - eliminates need for external TVS or fuse in harsh automotive environments. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the LT3640EFE#TRPBF can withstand without damage?
The LT3640EFE#TRPBF features an overvoltage lockout (OVLO) that disables switching at 36.5V (typical), but it can survive non-repetitive 1-second transients up to 55V on the VIN pin. Continuous operation must remain within 4V–35V for the high-voltage channel. This 55V rating makes the LT3640EFE#TRPBF suitable for automotive load-dump conditions without external clamping.
Does the LT3640EFE#TRPBF support synchronization to an external clock?
Yes, the LT3640EFE#TRPBF supports external synchronization via the SYNC pin (Pin 4), accepting TTL/CMOS clock signals from 350kHz to 2.5MHz. The internal oscillator frequency must be set at least 20% lower than the minimum external clock frequency using the RT resistor. The LT3640EFE#TRPBF ignores SYNC until FB1 exceeds 1.165V, ensuring stable startup before synchronization begins.
How is the power-on reset timeout period set for the LT3640EFE#TRPBF?
The power-on reset timeout for both channels (RST1 and RST2) is set by the capacitor connected to the CPOR pin (Pin 12). With CPOR = 220pF, the typical timeout is 9.5ms. The reset asserts when FB1 rises above 1.165V or FB2 above 550mV, then releases after the CPOR-timed interval. This ensures deterministic µP initialization after output regulation is achieved in the LT3640EFE#TRPBF.
Can the LT3640EFE#TRPBF operate with only the low-voltage channel enabled?
No - the LT3640EFE#TRPBF requires the high-voltage channel to be active and regulating (FB1 >1.165V) before enabling the low-voltage channel. EN2 (Pin 27) can disable the LV channel, but VIN2 must exceed 2.3V and FB1 must be in regulation first. If FB1 drops below 1.165V (e.g., due to HV overload), the LT3640EFE#TRPBF automatically discharges SS2 and disables the LV channel to prevent instability.
What is the purpose of the DA pin on the LT3640EFE#TRPBF?
The DA (Diode Anode) pin (Pin 18) senses current through the external catch diode in the high-voltage buck stage. It enables valley-current limiting and extends the oscillator cycle if diode current remains above the limit, providing robust short-circuit protection independent of peak current sensing. This feature enhances fault tolerance during output shorts at high input voltages in the LT3640EFE#TRPBF.
