Product details
Overview
LT8609AEDDM-3.3#PBF from Analog Devices is a 42V, 3A synchronous step-down regulator with fixed 3.3V output, 2.5µA quiescent current in Burst Mode, 45ns minimum on-time, and side-wettable DFN-10 (3mm × 3mm) package. It delivers high efficiency (>93% at 1A, 12VIN → 3.3VOUT) and supports spread-spectrum EMI reduction for automotive infotainment power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LT8609AEDDM-3.3#PBF datasheet, LT8609AEDDM-3.3#PBF pinout, LT8609AEDDM-3.3#PBF application, or LT8609AEDDM-3.3#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include ultralow IQ under light load, ±7.5% power-good accuracy, fixed 3.3V output with internal feedback divider, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive temperature range (–40°C to +125°C).
Technical Context
The LT8609AEDDM-3.3#PBF uses peak current mode control with internal compensation, enabling fast transient response and stable operation with small inductors (e.g., 2.2µH). Its dedicated VOUT pin replaces FB for fixed-output variants, eliminating external resistors and reducing layout sensitivity.
Burst Mode operation maintains <10mVP-P output ripple while regulating at no-load, and the SYNC pin enables external clock synchronization or spread-spectrum modulation-critical for meeting CISPR 25 Class 5 EMI limits in automotive systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±1.5% over full temperature and line range-enables direct replacement of LDOs without feedback network redesign. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.5µA at 12VIN → 3.3VOUT in Burst Mode-supports always-on automotive modules with battery drain <1µA per rail. |
| Max Continuous Output | 3A output current-powers multi-rail SoC subsystems (e.g., MCU core + I/O + CAN transceiver) from single converter. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.0V to 42V-covers cold-crank (4.5V), start-stop (6V), and load-dump (40V) conditions in 12V automotive systems. |
| Switching Frequency | 200kHz to 2.2MHz, set by RT resistor-allows optimization for size (2MHz + 2.2µH) or efficiency (700kHz + 8.2µH). |
| Power-Good Accuracy | ±7.5% on VOUT pin-ensures reliable sequencing with downstream logic and memory requiring tight voltage monitoring. |
| Min On-Time | 45ns-enables high step-down ratios (e.g., 42V → 3.3V at 2MHz) without pulse-skipping instability. |
Pinout & Package
LT8609AEDDM-3.3#PBF is housed in a 10-lead, 3mm × 3mm plastic DFN package with side-wettable flanks (DDM), exposing thermal pad (Pin 11) for enhanced PCB heat dissipation (θJA = 45°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Primary input supply | Accepts 3.0V–42V; requires local 10µF ceramic bypass to GND for stability during load transients. |
| BST | Bootstrap supply for high-side MOSFET gate drive | Connect 0.1µF capacitor between BST and SW; no series resistor allowed-critical for 100% duty-cycle capability. |
| SW | Switch node | Drives external inductor; must be minimized in PCB area to reduce EMI and switching losses. |
| INTVCC | Internal 3.5V regulator output | Bypass with ≥1µF low-ESR ceramic to GND; not for external loading-powers internal gate drivers and logic. |
| RT | Frequency setting | Resistor to GND sets fSW; 18.2kΩ yields 2MHz-enables precise EMI frequency placement. |
| SYNC | External clock interface | Ground for Burst Mode; float for pulse-skipping; 3.2V–5V for spread-spectrum-directly controls EMI profile. |
| EN/UV | Enable and input undervoltage lockout | 1.05V rising threshold with 50mV hysteresis-supports programmable VIN UVLO via resistor divider. |
| PG | Power-good open-drain flag | Asserts high when VOUT is within ±7.5%; pulls low during fault or startup-used for system reset and sequencing. |
| TR/SS | Soft-start and tracking control | Capacitor here programs output ramp rate; 3.3V output tracks TR/SS × 4.2-enables controlled power-up of multi-rail systems. |
| VOUT | Fixed 3.3V regulated output | Internal 5.9MΩ feedback divider-eliminates external resistors and improves accuracy vs. adjustable variants. |
| GND | Power and signal ground | Exposed thermal pad (Pin 11) must be soldered to large copper pour-reduces θJA and improves thermal reliability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultralow quiescent current | 2.5µA IQ enables >10-year battery life in always-on telematics modules without compromising regulation. |
| Spread-spectrum modulation | Reduces peak EMI by >10dB across 1–10MHz band-meets stringent CISPR 25 Class 5 requirements without added shielding. |
| Side-wettable DFN package | Enables automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints-critical for zero-defect automotive manufacturing. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for –40°C to +125°C junction operation-supports engine bay and infotainment applications without derating. |
| Integrated soft-start and tracking | TR/SS pin allows coordinated ramp-up with other rails (e.g., 1.2V core, 3.3V I/O)-prevents back-powering and latch-up in complex SoCs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT8609EMSE#PBF | Same architecture but 10-lead MSOP package; no side-wettable flanks; higher θJA (40°C/W) and no AEC-Q100 rating. | Non-automotive industrial use where AOI and extended temperature are not required. | Select when cost-sensitive prototyping favors MSOP hand-soldering over DFN reflow. |
| MP2451DT-LF-Z | 36V, 2A buck; 28µA IQ; no spread-spectrum; SOIC-8 package; no PG or TR/SS pins. | Cost-driven consumer electronics with relaxed EMI and thermal requirements. | Choose only if 2A output and higher IQ are acceptable-and EMI compliance is verified with external filtering. |
Compared with LT8609EMSE#PBF, LT8609AEDDM-3.3#PBF offers superior manufacturability (AOI-compatible DFN) and automotive qualification, while MP2451DT-LF-Z trades critical features (PG, TR/SS, spread-spectrum) for lower unit cost in non-safety-critical designs.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed output voltage tolerance for LT8609AEDDM-3.3#PBF over temperature and line?
The LT8609AEDDM-3.3#PBF guarantees 3.3V output within ±1.5% over the full –40°C to +125°C junction temperature range and 3.0V to 42V input voltage range. This is confirmed by electrical characterization data in the datasheet (Rev. J, page 4, "Output Reference Voltage" table for LT8609A-3.3), where min/max values are 3.25V and 3.35V at 100mA load.
Does LT8609AEDDM-3.3#PBF require external feedback resistors?
No. The LT8609AEDDM-3.3#PBF integrates a 5.9MΩ internal feedback divider connected to the VOUT pin, eliminating external resistors. This is explicitly stated in the "PIN FUNCTIONS" section (page 11): "The LT8609A-3.3 regulates to VOUT pin to 3.3V. This pin connects a 5.9MΩ internal feedback divider that programs the fixed output."
How does the SYNC pin function on LT8609AEDDM-3.3#PBF?
On the LT8609AEDDM-3.3#PBF, the SYNC pin supports three modes: grounded for low-ripple Burst Mode; floated for pulse-skipping mode; or biased to 3.2V–5.0V for spread-spectrum modulation. This is documented in the "PIN FUNCTIONS" section (page 11) and "OPERATION" section (page 13), which confirm spread-spectrum reduces EMI peaks by modulating switching frequency.
What thermal performance can be expected from the DFN package of LT8609AEDDM-3.3#PBF?
The LT8609AEDDM-3.3#PBF in its 3mm × 3mm DFN package achieves θJA = 45°C/W and θJC = 10°C/W when the exposed pad (Pin 11) is properly soldered to a thermal plane. This is specified in the "PIN CONFIGURATION" diagram (page 2) and enables 3A continuous operation at +85°C ambient with minimal heatsinking.
Is LT8609AEDDM-3.3#PBF qualified for automotive applications?
Yes. The LT8609AEDDM-3.3#PBF is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified for –40°C to +125°C operation, as confirmed in the "ORDER INFORMATION" table (page 3) under "AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTS**" and the "FEATURES" list (page 1): "AEC-Q100 Qualified for Automotive Applications."
