Product details
Overview
LT3995HMSE#PBF from Analog Devices is a 60V, 3A, 2MHz monolithic step-down switching regulator with 2.7µA quiescent current, internal 85mΩ NPN switch, and 500mV dropout voltage. It features adjustable frequency (200kHz–2MHz), Burst Mode® operation (<15mV ripple), power good flag, soft-start, and AEC-Q100 H-grade qualification for automotive cold-crank battery regulation.
For engineers reviewing the LT3995HMSE#PBF datasheet, LT3995HMSE#PBF pinout, LT3995HMSE#PBF application, or LT3995HMSE#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include ultralow IQ at no load, thermal performance up to 150°C junction, dropout behavior under VIN < VOUT, and synchronization capability across 250kHz–2MHz.
Technical Context
The LT3995HMSE#PBF uses a current-mode architecture with internal compensation, enabling fast transient response and stable loop behavior across wide input (4.3V–60V) and output (adjustable down to ~1.2V) ranges. Its bipolar NPN switch is driven by an integrated boost charge pump, requiring external BOOST capacitor to sustain saturation during high-duty-cycle or dropout conditions.
It implements dual-stage light-load optimization: low-ripple Burst Mode® (IQ = 2.7µA, VOUT ripple <15mVP-P) when SYNC is grounded, and pulse-skipping mode (IQ ≈ 11µA) when synchronized externally. Frequency foldback below 200kHz occurs during startup or overload to limit inrush and maintain control.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.3V to 60V - supports automotive battery transients including cold-crank (down to 4.3V) and load-dump immunity. |
| Output Current | Up to 3A continuous - limited by thermal design; current foldback reduces peak limit to 3.1A during short-circuit. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.7µA at no load - enables >10-year battery life in always-on automotive modules (e.g., telematics, ADAS sensors). |
| Switching Frequency | 200kHz to 2MHz - programmable via RT resistor; synchronizable externally from 250kHz to 2MHz. |
| Dropout Voltage | 500mV - enforced minimum (VIN – VOUT) ensures boost capacitor remains charged and switch stays saturated during dropout. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.197V ±1.2% - enables precise output programming; line regulation <0.01%/V improves stability across input range. |
| Junction Temp Range | –40°C to +150°C - H-grade qualification meets AEC-Q100 Grade 0 requirements for under-hood applications. |
Pinout & Package
LT3995HMSE#PBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 16-lead MSOP package with exposed GND pad (Pin 17), θJA = 40°C/W. The exposed pad must be soldered to PCB for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FB (1) | Feedback input | Regulated to 1.197V; connects to resistor divider tap for output voltage setting and phase compensation. |
| SS (2) | Soft-start control | Internal 1.8µA pull-up ramps current limit; capacitor to GND controls inrush; actively discharged during shutdown. |
| OUT (3) | Boost diode anode / dropout sense | Connects to output node ≤16V; supplies bias when VOUT > 3.2V; enables dropout comparator (500mV threshold). |
| BOOST (4) | Charge pump drive | Drives external capacitor to generate voltage > VIN for full NPN switch saturation; max 75V rating. |
| SW (5,6,7) | Power switch output | Three paralleled pins connect to inductor, catch diode, and BOOST capacitor; handles full 3A peak current. |
| NC (8,9) | No connect | Not bonded internally; must remain unconnected per datasheet. |
| VIN (10,11,12) | Main power input | Supplies internal circuitry and switch; requires local ceramic bypass (≥1µF); rated to 60V absolute max. |
| EN (13) | Enable with UVLO | Hysteretic threshold (1.02V fall / 1.08V rise); accurate undervoltage lockout; draws only 700nA in shutdown. |
| RT (14) | Frequency set | Resistor to GND programs switching frequency from 200kHz to 2MHz; tolerance affects accuracy ±10%. |
| PG (15) | Power good flag | Open-drain output asserts high when VOUT reaches 91.6% of target; valid only when VIN > 2V. |
| SYNC (16) | External clock input | Accepts TTL/CMOS clock 250kHz–2MHz; grounding enables Burst Mode; floating prohibited. |
| GND (17) | Ground reference | Exposed thermal pad; must be soldered to PCB plane for thermal conduction and low-impedance return path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultralow quiescent current | 2.7µA IQ enables multi-year operation from coin cells or automotive standby batteries without recharge. |
| Burst Mode® operation | Maintains <15mVP-P output ripple at light loads while preserving >85% efficiency down to 100µA output current. |
| Thermally robust H-grade | Guaranteed operation to +150°C junction temperature supports placement near engines or powertrain ECUs. |
| Integrated boost Schottky | On-die 800mV VF Schottky eliminates external diode, reducing BOM count and PCB area in compact designs. |
| Current limit foldback | Reduces switch current limit from 6.3A to 3.1A during overload, limiting power dissipation and preventing thermal runaway. |
| Accurate programmable UVLO | EN pin threshold (1.02V/1.08V) allows precise system-level brownout detection without external comparators. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3639EMSE#PBF | 40V max input, 2A output, 3.5µA IQ, no SYNC, no PG, same MSOP-16 package. | Lacks synchronization, power good flag, and 60V rating; unsuitable for automotive cold-crank or noise-sensitive sync-critical systems. | Choose LTC3639EMSE#PBF only for cost-sensitive 40V industrial apps where sync and PG are unnecessary. |
| MPQ4420AGL-A-Z | 60V input, 2A output, 20µA IQ, no Burst Mode, no PG, QFN-10 package, no exposed pad. | Higher IQ degrades battery life; lacks soft-start, PG, and thermal pad - limits use in automotive or high-reliability contexts. | MPQ4420AGL-A-Z fits space-constrained non-automotive apps but cannot replace LT3995HMSE#PBF in AEC-Q100 or ultralow-IQ designs. |
Compared with LTC3639EMSE#PBF and MPQ4420AGL-A-Z, LT3995HMSE#PBF uniquely delivers 60V/3A/2.7µA operation with PG, SYNC, and H-grade thermal rating - making it the only qualified option for automotive cold-crank and long-life portable systems requiring all four attributes.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature specification for LT3995HMSE#PBF?
The LT3995HMSE#PBF is guaranteed over the full operating junction temperature range of –40°C to +150°C, meeting AEC-Q100 Grade 0 requirements. This H-grade rating enables direct placement in high-temperature automotive locations such as engine control units or transmission modules, where ambient temperatures exceed 125°C.
How does LT3995HMSE#PBF achieve 2.7µA quiescent current in regulation?
The LT3995HMSE#PBF achieves 2.7µA IQ through low-ripple Burst Mode® operation: it delivers discrete current pulses to the output capacitor, then enters deep sleep (consuming only 1.7µA), minimizing average supply current. This behavior is active only when the SYNC pin is grounded - external synchronization increases IQ to ~11µA.
Can LT3995HMSE#PBF operate with input voltage below the programmed output voltage?
Yes. When VIN drops below VOUT, the LT3995HMSE#PBF enters dropout mode and regulates VOUT to VIN – 500mV, maintaining output stability during automotive cold-crank events. This is enabled by the internal dropout comparator and sustained boost capacitor voltage, ensuring the NPN switch remains saturated even at 4.3V input.
What is the function of the OUT pin on LT3995HMSE#PBF?
The OUT pin on LT3995HMSE#PBF serves three roles: (1) it connects to the anode of the internal boost Schottky diode, (2) it feeds the internal bias regulator when VOUT > 3.2V (improving efficiency), and (3) it provides the sense input for the dropout comparator that enforces the 500mV minimum (VIN – VOUT) difference.
Is LT3995HMSE#PBF pin-compatible with other grades like LT3995EMSE#PBF?
Yes. LT3995HMSE#PBF shares identical pinout, footprint, and electrical functionality with LT3995EMSE#PBF and LT3995IMSE#PBF - all use the same 16-lead MSOP package with exposed pad. The only difference is the guaranteed junction temperature range: H-grade extends to +150°C, while E/I grades are rated to +125°C.
