Product details
Overview
LT3641EUFD#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual-channel monolithic buck regulator IC with integrated power-on reset and window-mode watchdog timer. It delivers 5V/0.8A from 7–42V input (HV channel) and 3.3V/0.5A from 2.5–5.5V input (LV channel), operating synchronously at 2MHz with Burst Mode® for light-load efficiency. It serves as primary DC/DC power management in automotive ECU and industrial control systems requiring robust transient protection and system-level fault monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the LT3641EUFD#TRPBF datasheet, LT3641EUFD#TRPBF pinout, LT3641EUFD#TRPBF application, or LT3641EUFD#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-input voltage ranges (4–42V HV + 2.5–5.5V LV), programmable 350kHz–2.5MHz switching frequency via RT resistor, adjustable POR/watchdog timing via external capacitors, and thermal-enhanced 28-pin 4mm × 5mm QFN package with exposed GND pad.
Technical Context
The LT3641EUFD#TRPBF integrates two independent current-mode buck regulators sharing a single adjustable oscillator: a nonsynchronous HV channel (2.4A internal NPN switch, 4–42V input, 55V transient tolerance) and a synchronous LV channel (1.1A internal PMOS/NMOS pair, 2.5–5.5V input). Both channels feature cycle-by-cycle current limiting, soft-start via SS1/SS2 pins, and output regulation referenced to 1.265V (FB1) and 600mV (FB2).
Its power-on reset (RST1/RST2) and window-mode watchdog (WDO/WDI/CWDT) operate independently of regulation status-RST1 triggers after FB1 exceeds 1.165V, RST2 after FB2 exceeds 550mV, and WDO asserts if WDI pulses fall outside user-defined upper/lower boundaries set by CWDT capacitance. All timing functions are capacitor-programmable with no external logic required.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
LT3641EUFD#TRPBF uses a thermally enhanced 28-pin plastic QFN package (4mm × 5mm) with exposed GND pad (Pin 29), rated for –40°C to +125°C junction temperature. The exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground for optimal thermal performance (θJA = 43°C/W).
| 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 5V rail. |
| FB2 (Pin 1) | Low-voltage feedback reference input | Regulated to 600mV; sets VOUT2 via resistor divider - enables precise 3.3V or lower outputs with minimal component count. |
| RT (Pin 7) | Oscillator frequency programming node | Resistor-to-ground sets switching frequency (350kHz–2.5MHz); enables layout-driven trade-off between size and efficiency. |
| CPOR (Pin 12) | Reset and watchdog timeout capacitor node | Single capacitor programs both power-on reset delay (RST1/RST2) and WDO assertion period - simplifies BOM and layout. |
| CWDT (Pin 11) | Watchdog window boundary capacitor node | Capacitor sets upper/lower timing windows for WDI pulse detection - implements fail-safe μP supervision without external timers. |
| EN/UVLO (Pin 3) | Global enable and VIN undervoltage lockout | 1.26V threshold with 2μA hysteresis - provides accurate, programmable startup voltage for battery-powered systems. |
| EN2 (Pin 27) | LV channel enable input | Threshold at 100mV below FB2 target (≈500mV); 50mV hysteresis - enables independent sequencing of secondary rail. |
| PGOOD2 (Pin 2) | LV output power-good indicator | Open-drain output active when FB2 ≥ 550mV ±40mV hysteresis - signals valid 3.3V rail to MCU or FPGA. |
| WDE (Pin 13) | Watchdog enable control | Active-low enable for watchdog function - allows runtime disable during firmware updates or debug modes. |
| WDI (Pin 14) | Watchdog input pulse receiver | Accepts μP-generated pulses; monitors inter-pulse timing against CWDT-defined windows - detects software hangs or clock faults. |
| RST1/RST2 (Pins 9/8) | Open-drain reset outputs | Asserted until respective FB pin reaches threshold, then held for CPOR-defined timeout - provides clean, sequenced MCU reset. |
| SW1 (Pin 19) | HV switch node | Connects to HV inductor and catch diode cathode - carries full HV switching current; requires careful layout for EMI and thermal management. |
| SW2 (Pin 25) | LV switch node | Connects to LV inductor - synchronous topology eliminates external Schottky, reducing losses and footprint. |
| BST (Pin 21) | HV bootstrap supply | Drives HV NPN base via external diode/capacitor - enables efficient saturation of internal switch above 4V input. |
| VIN / VIN2 (Pins 22/24) | Independent input supplies | VIN powers HV channel and bias circuitry; VIN2 powers LV channel and internal regulators - enables flexible two-stage or split-rail architectures. |
| GND (Pins 15,16,23,26,29) | Ground terminals | Multiple dedicated GND pins + exposed pad - minimizes ground impedance and improves noise immunity in noisy automotive environments. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated window-mode watchdog timer | Monitors μP pulse timing against programmable upper/lower boundaries - prevents false resets from jitter while catching missed pulses or infinite loops. |
| Dual independent soft-start controls (SS1/SS2) | Capacitor-programmed ramp rates for each output - enables precise power sequencing and inrush current limiting across multiple rails. |
| Nonsynchronous HV + synchronous LV architecture | HV channel uses internal NPN + external diode; LV channel uses integrated PMOS/NMOS - balances cost, efficiency, and integration for multi-rail systems. |
| Input transient protection to 55V | Withstands load-dump events per ISO 7637-2 without external TVS - reduces bill-of-materials in automotive applications. |

FAQ
What input voltage ranges does the LT3641EUFD#TRPBF support for each channel?
The LT3641EUFD#TRPBF supports 4V to 42V continuous input on the high-voltage channel (VIN pin), with transient tolerance up to 55V for one second. The low-voltage channel (VIN2 pin) operates from 2.5V to 5.5V. These ranges allow direct connection to automotive batteries and post-regulated rails. The LT3641EUFD#TRPBF's EN/UVLO pin enables programmable undervoltage lockout for customized startup thresholds.
How is the switching frequency programmed on the LT3641EUFD#TRPBF?
The LT3641EUFD#TRPBF uses an external resistor from the RT pin to ground to set switching frequency between 350kHz and 2.5MHz. For example, a 32.4kΩ resistor yields 2MHz operation. The IC also accepts external synchronization via the SYNC pin (350kHz–2.5MHz), but requires the internal oscillator frequency to be at least 20% lower than the SYNC signal. The LT3641EUFD#TRPBF's datasheet provides a full RT vs. frequency table for precise selection.
Does the LT3641EUFD#TRPBF include built-in protection features?
Yes, the LT3641EUFD#TRPBF integrates multiple protection mechanisms: cycle-by-cycle current limiting on both channels, thermal shutdown, input overvoltage transient protection (55V), and short-circuit robustness. Its HV channel includes valley current limiting via the DA pin to prevent inductor saturation during overload. The LT3641EUFD#TRPBF also features programmable soft-start (SS1/SS2) and undervoltage lockout (EN/UVLO) to prevent erratic startup behavior.
Can the LT3641EUFD#TRPBF's power-on reset and watchdog functions be disabled?
The LT3641EUFD#TRPBF's power-on reset (RST1/RST2) cannot be fully disabled but can be shortened by reducing CPOR capacitance; however, removing CPOR entirely disables reset assertion. The watchdog function is enabled only when WDE is pulled low - holding WDE high disables watchdog monitoring while preserving POR functionality. The LT3641EUFD#TRPBF's WDE pin thus provides runtime control over supervision without affecting power sequencing.
What package type and thermal characteristics does the LT3641EUFD#TRPBF use?
The LT3641EUFD#TRPBF uses a 28-pin 4mm × 5mm plastic QFN package (UFD) with exposed GND pad (Pin 29). Its thermal resistance is θJC = 3.4°C/W and θJA = 43°C/W when properly mounted on a 4-layer PCB with 1-in² copper pour under the pad. This enables >3W continuous power dissipation without external heatsinking. The LT3641EUFD#TRPBF's package is RoHS-compliant and rated for –40°C to +125°C operation.
