Product details
Overview
LT8609AHMSE16#PBF from Analog Devices is a 42V, 3A synchronous step-down regulator with 2.5µA quiescent current in Burst Mode, peak current mode control, internal compensation, and fixed 5V output. It operates from 3.0V to 42V input, delivers up to 3A continuous current, supports 200kHz–2.2MHz switching (adjustable via RT pin), and features spread spectrum modulation for low EMI - ideal for automotive infotainment power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LT8609AHMSE16#PBF datasheet, LT8609AHMSE16#PBF pinout, LT8609AHMSE16#PBF application, or LT8609AHMSE16#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, 16-lead MSOP package with exposed thermal pad, ±7.5% power-good accuracy on fixed 5V output, and compatibility with small inductors due to fast 45ns minimum on-time.
Technical Context
The LT8609AHMSE16#PBF implements peak current mode control with internal compensation, enabling stable operation with minimal external components and fast transient response. Its oscillator frequency is set by an external resistor on the RT pin and ranges from 200kHz to 2.2MHz - confirmed at 2.00MHz typical with 18.2kΩ.
Burst Mode operation maintains ultralow 2.5µA input quiescent current at light loads while holding output ripple below 10mVP-P; spread spectrum modulation (enabled when SYNC is tied to 3.2–5.0V) reduces EMI without sacrificing regulation accuracy. The part uses separate top and bottom NMOS power switches with 185mΩ and 115mΩ on-resistances, respectively.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.0V to 42V - supports wide automotive battery transients and industrial 24V/36V systems without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.00V ±2% - internally trimmed; no external feedback resistors required. |
| Max Continuous Output Current | 3A - sustained delivery with thermal management via exposed GND pad in 16-lead MSOP. |
| Quiescent Current (Burst Mode) | 2.5µA at 12VIN→5VOUT - enables always-on subsystems with multi-year battery life. |
| Switching Frequency Range | 200kHz to 2.2MHz - adjustable via RT pin; 2.00MHz typical with 18.2kΩ resistor. |
| Output Ripple | <10mVP-P in Burst Mode - meets stringent noise requirements for RF and sensor power domains. |
| Power-Good Accuracy | ±7.5% on VOUT - PG flag asserts when 5V output is within 4.625V–5.375V, enabling reliable system sequencing. |
Pinout & Package
LT8609AHMSE16#PBF is housed in a 16-lead plastic MSOP package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 17 = GND), θJA = 40°C/W, θJC(PAD) = 10°C/W. The exposed pad must be soldered to PCB for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BST | Bootstrap supply for high-side NMOS gate drive | Requires 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to SW; critical for proper top-FET turn-on above VIN. |
| SW | Switch node | Connects to inductor and BST capacitor; high dv/dt node requiring minimized PCB area for EMI control. |
| INTVCC | Internal 3.5V regulator bypass | Must be decoupled with ≥1µF low-ESR ceramic; powers internal logic and gate drivers. |
| RT | Frequency setting resistor connection | Resistor to GND sets oscillator frequency; 18.2kΩ yields 2.00MHz typical. |
| SYNC | External clock synchronization input | Accepts 0–5V logic; enables pulse-skipping, spread spectrum, or external sync - not NC (unlike LT8609B). |
| EN/UV | Enable and input undervoltage lockout | 1.05V rising threshold; hysteresis = 50mV; allows programmable VIN UVLO using resistor divider. |
| VIN | Main input power supply | Supplies internal circuitry and top-FET; requires local high-frequency bypass capacitor. |
| PG | Open-drain power-good flag | Pulls low until VOUT reaches ±7.5% of 5V (4.625–5.375V); valid above 3.2V VIN regardless of EN state. |
| TR/SS | Soft-start and tracking control | 2µA internal pull-up; capacitor here programs output ramp rate; supports voltage tracking during sequencing. |
| FB | Feedback input (not used) | No connection - LT8609AHMSE16#PBF is fixed-output; FB pin is unused and must be left floating. |
| VOUT | Regulated 5V output | Internally connected to 5V reference; provides regulated output and serves as PG sense point. |
| GND | Power and signal ground | Exposed pad (Pin 17) is GND - must be soldered to PCB plane for thermal and electrical performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Rated for automotive applications across –40°C to +150°C junction temperature (H-grade). |
| Ultralow IQ Burst Mode | 2.5µA input current at no load preserves battery life in always-on vehicle modules. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT8609AIMSE16#PBF | I-grade (–40°C to +125°C), same pinout and electrical specs except junction temp rating. | Not qualified for under-hood automotive use; suitable for industrial or consumer applications with lower ambient temps. | Select when AEC-Q100 and 150°C operation are unnecessary - lower cost and broader distributor availability. |
| LT8609AJMSE16#PBF | J-grade with tighter FB reference tolerance (0.766–0.798V vs H-grade 0.766–0.794V), otherwise identical. | Same automotive qualification; preferred where tighter output voltage accuracy is required across full temperature range. | Choose for high-precision 5V rails where ±2% initial accuracy must be maintained over –40°C to +150°C. |
Compared with LT8609AIMSE16#PBF, the LT8609AHMSE16#PBF adds AEC-Q100 qualification and extended 150°C operation for under-hood placement; versus LT8609AJMSE16#PBF, it trades minor FB tolerance for broader production availability and cost efficiency in volume automotive programs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for LT8609AHMSE16#PBF?
The LT8609AHMSE16#PBF is rated for operation up to +150°C junction temperature and is guaranteed across the full –40°C to +150°C range. This H-grade qualification enables placement in high-temperature automotive locations such as engine compartments or near power inverters, supported by its 40°C/W θJA and low-power design.
Does LT8609AHMSE16#PBF require external feedback resistors for its 5V output?
No, LT8609AHMSE16#PBF does not require external feedback resistors. It is a fixed 5V output variant with an internal resistor divider connected to the VOUT pin. The FB pin is unused and must remain floating - unlike adjustable versions that require external R1/R2 networks.
How is spread spectrum modulation enabled on LT8609AHMSE16#PBF?
Spread spectrum modulation on LT8609AHMSE16#PBF is enabled by connecting the SYNC pin to a voltage between 3.2V and 5.0V (e.g., INTVCC). This causes the internal oscillator to dither frequency between 1–6kHz, reducing peak EMI without affecting regulation accuracy or output ripple.
What is the purpose of the TR/SS pin on LT8609AHMSE16#PBF?
The TR/SS pin on LT8609AHMSE16#PBF controls soft-start ramp rate and enables output voltage tracking. With a capacitor connected, it programs the 5V output slew rate; when driven externally, it allows synchronized startup with other rails (e.g., 3.3V or 1.2V) using a scaling factor of 6.39×.
Is LT8609AHMSE16#PBF pin-compatible with LT8609AIMSE16#PBF?
Yes, LT8609AHMSE16#PBF is pin-compatible with LT8609AIMSE16#PBF - both use the same 16-lead MSOP package with identical pinout, footprint, and electrical interface. The only differences are temperature grade (H vs I) and AEC-Q100 qualification, making them drop-in replacements where thermal and automotive requirements align.
