Product details
Overview
LT3641IUFD#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 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 in automotive ECU power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LT3641IUFD#TRPBF datasheet, LT3641IUFD#TRPBF pinout, LT3641IUFD#TRPBF application, or LT3641IUFD#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 thermally enhanced 28-pin 4mm × 5mm QFN package with exposed GND pad.
Technical Context
The LT3641IUFD#TRPBF integrates two independent current-mode buck regulators sharing a single adjustable oscillator. The high-voltage channel uses a nonsynchronous NPN switch with internal 2.4A top switch and 55V transient protection; the low-voltage channel employs synchronous PMOS/NMOS switches with 1.1A combined current limit and no external Schottky diode required.
Both channels feature cycle-by-cycle current limiting, programmable soft-start via SS1/SS2 pins, and independent enable/UVLO logic (EN/UVLO at 1.26V threshold, EN2 referenced to FB2). The integrated window-mode watchdog monitors microprocessor pulse timing-asserting WDO if WDI edges fall outside tWDL (1.68–2.2ms) or tWDU (27–35ms) boundaries set by CWDT capacitor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| HV Input Range | 4V to 42V continuous, with 55V nonrepetitive transient protection - enables direct connection to automotive battery rails including cold-crank and load-dump conditions. |
| LV Input Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - supports post-regulation from HV output or independent low-voltage sources like USB or LDOs. |
| Switching Frequency | 350kHz to 2.5MHz, set by RT resistor or external SYNC clock - allows optimization of inductor size vs. efficiency; 2MHz operation enables <1μH inductors. |
| FB1 Reference | 1.265V ±15mV over temperature - sets HV output voltage via resistor divider; enables precise 5V/3.3V/other outputs with 1% resistors. |
| FB2 Reference | 600mV ±15mV over temperature - sets LV output voltage; lower reference improves accuracy for sub-2V core supplies. |
| Quiescent Current | 290μA typical - maintains high light-load efficiency in always-on subsystems without sacrificing startup speed. |
| Thermal Package | 28-pin 4mm × 5mm QFN with exposed GND pad (θJC = 3.4°C/W) - delivers low thermal resistance for 1.3A HV + 1.1A LV simultaneous operation at full load. |
Pinout & Package
LT3641IUFD#TRPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 28-pin (4mm × 5mm) plastic QFN package with exposed GND pad (Pin 29), requiring soldering to PCB ground for optimal thermal performance (θJA = 43°C/W, θJC = 3.4°C/W).
| 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., 5V or 3.3V). |
| FB2 (Pin 1) | Low-voltage feedback input | Regulated to 600mV; connects to resistor divider tap to set VOUT2 (e.g., 3.3V or 1.8V). |
| EN/UVLO (Pin 3) | Global enable / VIN undervoltage lockout | 1.26V threshold enables programmable UVLO; pulls below 0.3V for shutdown (<1μA IQ). |
| EN2 (Pin 27) | LV channel enable | Threshold at 1.18V (100mV below FB2 target); includes 80mV hysteresis for noise immunity. |
| CPOR (Pin 12) | Power-on reset & WDO timeout capacitor | Connects to capacitor to set RST1/RST2 assertion time (8–11ms) and WDO hold time. |
| CWDT (Pin 11) | Watchdog timing capacitor | Connects to capacitor to set watchdog window boundaries (tWDL/tWDU) and start delay (tDLY). |
| WDI (Pin 14) | Watchdog input | Accepts µP pulses; falling edges trigger window monitoring; 0.85V threshold with 300ns min pulse width. |
| WDE (Pin 13) | Watchdog enable | Active-high; must be pulled >0.7V to activate watchdog function and WDO output. |
| PGOOD2 (Pin 2) | LV output power-good flag | Open-drain output asserted when FB2 ≥ 590mV (40mV hysteresis); indicates stable VOUT2 regulation. |
| SW1 (Pin 19) | HV switch node | Connects to HV inductor and catch diode cathode; handles up to 2.4A peak current. |
| SW2 (Pin 25) | LV switch node | Connects to LV inductor; synchronous NMOS/PMOS switching eliminates external diode. |
| BST (Pin 21) | Bootstrap supply for HV switch | Drives HV NPN gate via external diode/capacitor; requires ≥2.3V BST–SW for full saturation. |
| DA (Pin 18) | Catch diode anode sense | Monitors diode conduction for valley current limiting and fault protection during short-circuit events. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LT3641IUFD#TRPBF during transient conditions?
The LT3641IUFD#TRPBF supports nonrepetitive 55V transients on the VIN pin for up to 1 second, per Absolute Maximum Ratings. Continuous operation is limited to 42V. This 55V rating enables robust operation during automotive load-dump events without external clamping components. The device remains functional and protected throughout the transient, and LT3641IUFD#TRPBF resumes normal regulation once VIN returns within spec.
How does the window-mode watchdog in LT3641IUFD#TRPBF differ from standard timeout watchdogs?
The LT3641IUFD#TRPBF implements a true window-mode watchdog that detects both too-close (fast) and too-far (slow) WDI pulse edges using independently set lower (tWDL = 1.68–2.2ms) and upper (tWDU = 27–35ms) boundaries. Unlike simple timeout watchdogs, this prevents false resets caused by µP clock stretching or jitter, and catches stuck-at-low or stuck-at-high WDI faults. The LT3641IUFD#TRPBF asserts WDO only when pulses violate either boundary, enhancing system reliability in safety-critical applications.
Can LT3641IUFD#TRPBF generate both 5V and 3.3V outputs simultaneously, and what are the recommended inductor values?
Yes, LT3641IUFD#TRPBF is configured in the typical application to deliver 5V/0.8A (HV channel) and 3.3V/0.5A (LV channel) simultaneously. For 2MHz operation, the datasheet recommends 2.2μH (HV) and 4.7μH (LV) shielded power inductors with ≥2.5A and ≥1.5A saturation current respectively. These values balance size, efficiency (>88% at full load), and transient response. The LT3641IUFD#TRPBF's current-mode control ensures stable operation with these inductors across temperature and input variation.
What is the purpose of the DA pin on LT3641IUFD#TRPBF, and how must it be connected?
The DA (Diode Anode) pin on LT3641IUFD#TRPBF senses current through the external catch diode to implement valley current limiting and protect against shorted outputs. It must be connected directly to the anode of the HV channel's Schottky catch diode. This connection enables the LT3641IUFD#TRPBF to extend the oscillator cycle when diode conduction falls below the valley limit, improving fault robustness. Incorrect DA routing disables this protection, so LT3641IUFD#TRPBF requires strict adherence to the DA-to-diode-anode path shown in the datasheet layout guidelines.
Does LT3641IUFD#TRPBF support synchronization to an external clock, and what are the requirements?
Yes, LT3641IUFD#TRPBF supports external clock synchronization via the SYNC pin (Pin 4), accepting 350kHz–2.5MHz TTL/CMOS signals. The external clock must exceed the internal oscillator frequency by ≥20%, have ≥2V amplitude and ≥40ns pulse width, and be applied only after FB1 rises above 1.165V. The LT3641IUFD#TRPBF ignores SYNC until this condition is met to prevent erratic startup. Once locked, both channels track the external clock, reducing EMI by aligning switching edges - a key advantage for LT3641IUFD#TRPBF in noise-sensitive systems.
