Product details
Overview
LT3645IMSE#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual-output DC/DC regulator integrating a 500mA synchronous step-down buck converter and a 200mA low-dropout linear regulator (LDO) in a single 12-lead MSE package. It operates from 3.6V to 36V input, delivers 3.3V/5V buck outputs and programmable LDO outputs (0.8V–8V), and features 750kHz switching frequency, <2μA shutdown current, and integrated overvoltage lockout up to 40V - enabling robust power management for automotive image sensor and microcontroller supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the LT3645IMSE#TRPBF datasheet, LT3645IMSE#TRPBF pinout, LT3645IMSE#TRPBF application, or LT3645IMSE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-regulator architecture with independent enable controls (EN/UVLO and EN2), thermally enhanced MSOP package with exposed pad, 310mV LDO dropout at 200mA, and precise 0.8V/0.797V feedback references for stable output regulation across industrial temperature range (–40°C to 125°C).
Technical Context
The LT3645IMSE#TRPBF implements a constant-frequency current-mode buck regulator with internal bipolar NPN switch and BOOST-driven gate drive, paired with a separate bipolar NPN-based LDO powered from VCC2. Its control loop uses dedicated error amplifiers with ramped soft-start (0.9ms buck / 0.6ms LDO) and cycle-by-cycle current limiting (1A typical switch limit).
Protection architecture includes undervoltage lockout (3.4V rising), overvoltage lockout (38.5V rising), thermal shutdown (~160°C), short-circuit robustness via DA-pin current sensing, and open-collector NPG flag asserting when both FB and FB2 exceed 720mV - confirming regulation of both outputs simultaneously.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.6V to 36V continuous; withstands 55V nonrepetitive transients - supports 24V industrial and 12V automotive battery inputs. |
| Buck Output Current | 500mA maximum - sufficient for powering CMOS image sensors or MCU cores without external boost. |
| LDO Output Current | 200mA maximum with 310mV dropout at full load - enables clean post-regulation for noise-sensitive analog circuits. |
| Switching Frequency | 750kHz typical - allows use of compact 10–15μH inductors and reduces EMI compared to lower-frequency alternatives. |
| Feedback Reference Voltages | 0.800V (FB) and 0.797V (FB2) - high-precision references enable ±1% output voltage accuracy with standard resistor dividers. |
| Shutdown Current | <2μA - critical for always-on systems requiring ultra-low quiescent power during sleep modes. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C junction - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments. |
Pinout & Package
LT3645IMSE#TRPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 12-lead plastic MSOP package (3mm × 4.1mm) with exposed pad (Pin 13) electrically connected to GND and required to be soldered to PCB for thermal performance (θJA = 40°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN/UVLO (Pin 5) | Enable and undervoltage lockout input | 1.23V threshold enables precise input voltage monitoring; tie directly to VIN if UVLO not needed. |
| FB (Pin 6) | Buck feedback input | Regulated to 0.800V; sets buck output voltage via resistor divider (e.g., 3.3V = 10kΩ + 31.6kΩ). |
| GND (Pin 7, Exposed Pad Pin 13) | Power and signal ground reference | Must connect exposed pad to large PCB ground plane with thermal vias for thermal reliability. |
| DA (Pin 8) | Catch diode current sense | Detects external Schottky diode current; reduces switching frequency if >0.9A to prevent overload. |
| BOOST (Pin 10) | Internal switch gate drive supply | Charged via internal Schottky from VCC2; requires 0.1μF capacitor to SW for proper NPN saturation. |
| SW (Pin 9) | Buck switch node | Connects to inductor and cathode of external catch diode; carries high di/dt switching current. |
| VIN (Pin 11) | Main input power supply | Supplies buck switch, control circuitry, and LDO driver; requires ≥1μF local ceramic bypass. |
| VCC2 (Pin 14) | LDO input supply | Must be ≥2.5V to enable internal BOOST diode; powers LDO transistor Q2 and generates BOOST voltage. |
| OUT2 (Pin 15) | LDO regulated output | Delivers up to 200mA; requires ≥0.47μF output capacitor for stability and transient response. |
| FB2 (Pin 16) | LDO feedback input | Regulated to 0.797V; sets LDO output voltage (e.g., 1.8V = 10kΩ + 10kΩ). |
| EN2 (Pin 4) | LDO enable input | Pull >1.6V to enable LDO; pull <0.5V to disable independently of buck regulator. |
| NPG (Pin 3) | Open-collector power-good flag | Pulls low only when both FB ≥720mV and FB2 ≥720mV - confirms dual-output regulation status. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LT3645IMSE#TRPBF during continuous operation?
The LT3645IMSE#TRPBF has a continuous maximum input voltage rating of 36V. It can withstand nonrepetitive 55V transients for up to one second, but will enter overvoltage lockout and cease regulation if VIN exceeds 38.5V. This makes LT3645IMSE#TRPBF suitable for 24V industrial systems and automotive applications with load-dump protection requirements.
How does the NPG pin on LT3645IMSE#TRPBF indicate power-good status?
The NPG pin on LT3645IMSE#TRPBF is an open-collector output that pulls low only when both FB voltage exceeds 720mV and FB2 voltage exceeds 720mV - confirming that both the buck and LDO outputs are within 90% of their target regulation. This dual-threshold behavior ensures system-level confidence in complete power rail readiness before enabling downstream logic.
Can LT3645IMSE#TRPBF operate with VCC2 supplied below 2.5V?
Yes, LT3645IMSE#TRPBF can operate with VCC2 below 2.5V, but requires an external Schottky diode (e.g., BAS70) connected from VCC2 (anode) to BOOST (cathode) to maintain proper gate drive for the internal NPN switch. Without this diode, the internal Schottky cannot generate sufficient BOOST voltage, risking reduced efficiency or instability in the buck regulator.
What is the minimum load requirement for reliable startup of LT3645IMSE#TRPBF?
LT3645IMSE#TRPBF has no mandatory minimum load for steady-state operation, but startup reliability depends on inductor energy transfer to charge the BOOST capacitor. For slow-ramping inputs or zero-load conditions at turn-on, a minimum load of ~10mA on the buck output helps ensure proper BOOST voltage establishment. Figure 4a/b in the datasheet shows typical minimum input voltage vs. output current for 3.3V and 5V configurations.
Does LT3645IMSE#TRPBF support independent enable control of its buck and LDO sections?
Yes, LT3645IMSE#TRPBF supports fully independent enable control: EN/UVLO (Pin 5) enables or disables both regulators simultaneously, while EN2 (Pin 4) provides dedicated control of the LDO only. Pulling EN2 below 0.5V disables the LDO without affecting buck operation - enabling flexible power sequencing and dynamic rail management in complex systems.
