Product details
Overview
LT3640IFE#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 features a high-voltage nonsynchronous channel (4V–35V input, 1.3A output) and a low-voltage synchronous channel (2.5V–5.5V input, 1.1A output), both synchronized to a single adjustable oscillator (350kHz–2.5MHz). It delivers stable 3.3V/0.8A and 1.8V/0.8A outputs in industrial power supplies and automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the LT3640IFE#TRPBF datasheet, LT3640IFE#TRPBF pinout, LT3640IFE#TRPBF application, or LT3640IFE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-output voltage tracking capability, programmable soft-start via SS1/SS2 pins, adjustable POR/watchdog timing using CPOR/CWDT capacitors, and thermal performance in the 28-pin TSSOP package with exposed pad.
Technical Context
The LT3640IFE#TRPBF implements two independent current-mode PWM control loops sharing one oscillator-enabling precise frequency synchronization and eliminating beat frequencies. The high-voltage channel uses an internal 2.4A NPN switch with BST-boosted gate drive and DA-pin-based valley current sensing for robust short-circuit protection; the low-voltage channel employs fully synchronous NMOS/PMOS power switches with cycle-by-cycle peak and valley current limiting.
Its power-on reset logic triggers on FB1 > 1.165V and FB2 > 550mV, with timeout set by CPOR capacitor; the window-mode watchdog monitors WDI pulse edges against upper (tWDU) and lower (tWDL) boundaries defined by CWDT, asserting WDO if timing deviates-providing fail-safe µP supervision without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range (HV) | 4V to 35V - supports wide industrial and automotive battery inputs; OVLO at 36.5V protects up to 55V transient |
| Input Voltage Range (LV) | 2.5V to 5.5V - enables post-regulation from HV output or direct Li-ion/LDO supply |
| Switching Frequency | 350kHz to 2.5MHz - set by RT resistor or external SYNC signal; allows optimization of size vs. efficiency |
| FB1 Reference Voltage | 1.265V ±15mV - sets high-side output via resistor divider; enables 3.3V, 5V, or custom voltages |
| FB2 Reference Voltage | 600mV ±12mV - sets low-side output; supports 1.2V, 1.8V, or 2.5V core rails with tight regulation |
| Quiescent Current | 290µA typical - enables low-power standby operation; drops to <1µA in shutdown |
| Watchdog Window Timing | tWDL = 2ms, tWDU = 32ms (CWDT = 820pF) - provides configurable µP activity monitoring with fault detection margin |
Pinout & Package
The LT3640IFE#TRPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 28-pin plastic TSSOP package (FE) with exposed pad (Pin 29) soldered to PCB ground for low θJA = 30°C/W. Pin numbering follows standard top-view FE package layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FB1 (Pin 6) | High-voltage feedback input | Regulated to 1.265V; connects to resistor divider tap to set VOUT1 (e.g., 3.3V) |
| FB2 (Pin 1) | Low-voltage feedback input | Regulated to 600mV; sets VOUT2 (e.g., 1.8V); enables PGOOD assertion when >550mV |
| EN/UVLO (Pin 3) | Enable and undervoltage lockout input | 1.26V threshold enables accurate VIN brown-in/out control; 2µA hysteresis prevents noise-induced toggling |
| RT (Pin 7) | Oscillator frequency programming | Resistor to GND sets switching frequency (e.g., 32.4kΩ → 2MHz); supports SYNC override |
| CPOR (Pin 12) | Power-on reset timer capacitor | Capacitor to GND sets RST1/RST2 timeout (e.g., 220pF → 9.5ms); shared by both channels |
| CWDT (Pin 11) | Watchdog timer capacitor | Capacitor to GND defines watchdog window boundaries (tWDL/tWDU); enables windowed µP supervision |
| WDE (Pin 13) | Watchdog enable input | Active-high logic input; must be pulled high to activate watchdog function |
| WDI (Pin 14) | Watchdog input | Accepts µP pulse train; falling edges trigger watchdog timing; 0.85V threshold ensures noise immunity |
| RST1 (Pin 9) | HV channel reset output | Open-drain; asserts low until FB1 > 1.165V and CPOR timeout expires |
| RST2 (Pin 8) | LV channel reset output | Open-drain; asserts low until FB2 > 550mV and CPOR timeout expires |
| WDO (Pin 10) | Watchdog output | Open-drain; pulls low if WDI pulses violate tWDL/tWDU window; resets µP on timeout |
| PGOOD (Pin 2) | Power-good indicator | Open-drain; sinks current only when LV output is in regulation (FB2 > 550mV + 40mV hysteresis) |
| SS1 (Pin 5) | HV soft-start/tracking control | 0–1.265V input; controls FB1 reference ramp rate; enables output voltage tracking |
| SS2 (Pin 28) | LV soft-start/tracking control | 0–0.6V input; controls FB2 reference ramp; supports independent or coordinated startup |
| VIN (Pin 22) | HV input supply | Powers internal circuitry and HV switch; requires local ceramic bypass (≥10µF) |
| VIN2 (Pin 24) | LV input supply | Powers LV channel and internal bias; can be tied to VOUT1 for two-stage conversion |
| SW1 (Pin 19) | HV switch node | Connects to inductor and catch diode cathode; handles up to 2.4A peak current |
| SW2 (Pin 25) | LV switch node | Connects to inductor; integrates synchronous NMOS/PMOS switches (RDS(ON) = 200/275mΩ) |
| BST (Pin 21) | Bootstrap supply | Drives HV NPN base via external diode/capacitor; requires ≥2.3V above SW for full saturation |
| DA (Pin 18) | Catch diode current sense | Monitors diode conduction to extend off-time during valley current limit; enhances short-circuit robustness |
| GND (Pins 15,16,23,26,29) | Ground connections | Multiple low-inductance GND pins and exposed pad (Pin 29) must be soldered to PCB ground plane |
| NC (Pin 17) | No-connect | Internally unused; may be tied to GND for mechanical stability |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LT3640IFE#TRPBF?
The LT3640IFE#TRPBF is rated for –40°C to 125°C junction temperature. This industrial-grade specification ensures reliable operation in automotive engine compartments, industrial motor drives, and outdoor telecom equipment where ambient temperatures exceed 85°C. The FE package's exposed pad and low θJA = 30°C/W enable full 1.3A/1.1A output capability without derating at 85°C ambient.
How does the LT3640IFE#TRPBF implement window-mode watchdog functionality?
The LT3640IFE#TRPBF implements window-mode watchdog by measuring time intervals between consecutive falling edges on the WDI pin. If any interval falls outside the programmable window-defined by lower boundary tWDL and upper boundary tWDU set via CWDT capacitor-the WDO pin is pulled low. This detects both µP lockup (no pulses) and runaway execution (excessively frequent pulses), unlike basic timeout watchdogs.
Can the LT3640IFE#TRPBF generate 5V and 1.2V outputs simultaneously?
Yes, the LT3640IFE#TRPBF can generate 5V and 1.2V outputs simultaneously. The HV channel (FB1 = 1.265V) supports 5V via R1/R2 divider (e.g., R1 = 301kΩ, R2 = 100kΩ); the LV channel (FB2 = 600mV) supports 1.2V via R3/R4 divider (e.g., R3 = 120kΩ, R4 = 100kΩ). Both outputs operate independently with full current capability and supervision.
What is the purpose of the DA pin on the LT3640IFE#TRPBF?
The DA pin on the LT3640IFE#TRPBF senses catch diode anode current to implement valley current limiting. During light-load conditions or output short circuits, the DA comparator extends the oscillator off-time to prevent inductor current reversal and maintain control-enhancing robustness beyond standard peak-current limiting alone. It connects directly to the cathode of the external catch diode.
Does the LT3640IFE#TRPBF require external components for power-on reset timing?
Yes, the LT3640IFE#TRPBF requires an external capacitor on the CPOR pin to set power-on reset timing. A 220pF capacitor yields a typical 9.5ms timeout for both RST1 and RST2 outputs. This single capacitor eliminates the need for separate RC networks per rail, simplifying design while ensuring coordinated release of both reset signals after FB1 > 1.165V and FB2 > 550mV are achieved.
