Product details
Overview
LT8609AHMSE16#TRPBF 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 (via RT resistor), and features spread spectrum modulation for low EMI - ideal for automotive infotainment power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LT8609AHMSE16#TRPBF datasheet, LT8609AHMSE16#TRPBF pinout, LT8609AHMSE16#TRPBF application, or LT8609AHMSE16#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (16-lead MSOP), confirmed pin functions, exact thermal grade (–40°C to 150°C junction), fixed 5V output specification, and validated alternative options for automotive-grade 5V buck conversion.
Technical Context
The LT8609AHMSE16#TRPBF implements peak current mode control with internal 0.782V reference and frequency-programmable oscillator (RT pin). Its fixed 5V output uses an internal 8.95MΩ feedback divider, eliminating external resistors and enabling precise regulation within ±7.5% at power-good assertion.
Burst Mode operation enables ultralow IQ (2.5µA typical at 12VIN→5VOUT no load) while maintaining <10mVP-P ripple; spread spectrum modulation (enabled via SYNC pin at 3.2–5.0V) reduces EMI without sacrificing efficiency. The device integrates top/bottom NMOS switches (185mΩ/115mΩ RDS(on)), 45ns minimum on-time, and overtemperature protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.00V ±11mV (±0.22%) over full temperature and line range - eliminates external feedback network and improves accuracy vs adjustable variants. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.0V to 42V - supports wide automotive battery transients including cold-crank (4.5V) and load-dump (40V+). |
| Quiescent Current | 2.5µA typical in Burst Mode at 12VIN→5VOUT no load - enables always-on systems with multi-year battery life. |
| Continuous Output Current | 3A - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and CAN transceivers from single-stage conversion. |
| Switching Frequency Range | 200kHz to 2.2MHz (RT-programmable) - allows optimization for size (high-freq + small inductor) or efficiency (low-freq + low core loss). |
| Power-Good Threshold | ±7.5% of 5V (i.e., 4.625V–5.375V) - ensures reliable system enable/disable sequencing in automotive ECUs. |
| Thermal Grade | –40°C to 150°C junction - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1, suitable for under-hood applications. |
Pinout & Package
LT8609AHMSE16#TRPBF 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; enables efficient 42V operation with integrated high-side switch. |
| SW | Switch node | Connects to inductor and BST capacitor; critical for EMI layout - must be minimized in area and length. |
| INTVCC | Internal 3.5V regulator bypass | Must be decoupled with ≥1µF low-ESR ceramic; powers internal logic/drivers - not for external loading. |
| RT | Frequency setting resistor connection | Grounded resistor sets fSW (e.g., 18.2kΩ → 2.0MHz); enables precise EMI band placement and inductor sizing. |
| SYNC | External clock/spectrum modulation control | Float = pulse-skipping; 0V = Burst Mode; 3.2–5.0V = spread spectrum - key for CISPR 25 Class 5 compliance. |
| EN/UV | Enable and input undervoltage lockout | 1.05V rising threshold with 50mV hysteresis - allows programmable VIN UVLO using resistor divider. |
| PG | Open-drain power-good flag | Pulled low until VOUT within ±7.5% of 5V and no fault - used for processor reset or downstream enable sequencing. |
| TR/SS | Soft-start and tracking control | 2µA internal pull-up enables capacitor-programmed slew rate; supports voltage tracking in multi-rail systems. |
| VIN | Main input supply | Supplies IC bias and high-side switch; requires local high-frequency bypass (e.g., 10µF X7R + 1µF X5R). |
| VOUT | Fixed 5V regulated output | Internal 8.95MΩ divider sets output; connects to load and output capacitor - no external feedback required. |
| GND | Power and signal ground | Exposed pad (Pin 17) is GND - must be soldered to large copper pour for thermal dissipation and noise control. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT8609AIMSE16#TRPBF | Same 16-lead MSOP package and 5V fixed output, but rated for –40°C to 125°C junction (vs. 150°C for LT8609AHMSE16#TRPBF). | Not qualified for under-hood automotive use; suitable for cabin or industrial applications with lower ambient temps. | Select when AEC-Q100 Grade 0 (–40°C to 125°C) suffices and cost optimization is prioritized. |
| LT8609AEDDM-5#TRPBF | Same 5V output and specs, but in 10-lead 3mm×3mm side-wettable DFN (vs. 16-lead MSOP); smaller footprint, higher θJA (45°C/W). | Better for space-constrained portable or medical devices; less thermal margin than MSOP in high-power density layouts. | Select when PCB area is critical and thermal design includes enhanced copper pour or forced air cooling. |
Compared with LT8609AIMSE16#TRPBF and LT8609AEDDM-5#TRPBF, the LT8609AHMSE16#TRPBF uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, 16-lead MSOP thermal performance (θJC = 10°C/W), and fixed 5V output - making it the only choice for thermally demanding automotive under-hood 5V conversion where reliability and thermal headroom are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed operating junction temperature range for LT8609AHMSE16#TRPBF?
The LT8609AHMSE16#TRPBF is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 150°C junction temperature range per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification. This is confirmed in the "Order Information" table (Rev. J), where LT8609AHMSE16#TRPBF is explicitly listed with "–40°C to 150°C" temperature range and automotive-grade marking "8609A". No derating is required within this range.
Does LT8609AHMSE16#TRPBF require external feedback resistors for its 5V output?
No, the LT8609AHMSE16#TRPBF does not require external feedback resistors. As a fixed 5V variant (LT8609A-5), it uses an internal 8.95MΩ resistor divider connected to the VOUT pin, as documented in the "PIN FUNCTIONS" section (Rev. J, p.11) and "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" table (p.4). This eliminates component count and improves output accuracy vs. adjustable versions.
How is spread spectrum modulation enabled on LT8609AHMSE16#TRPBF?
Spread spectrum modulation on the LT8609AHMSE16#TRPBF is enabled by applying a DC voltage between 3.2V and 5.0V to the SYNC pin, as specified in the "PIN FUNCTIONS" section (Rev. J, p.11) and "OPERATION" section (p.13). This configures the part to operate in pulse-skipping mode with frequency dithering (1–6kHz), reducing EMI peaks without affecting regulation performance.
What is the power-good (PG) accuracy threshold for LT8609AHMSE16#TRPBF?
The LT8609AHMSE16#TRPBF asserts PG high when VOUT reaches within ±7.5% of 5V (i.e., 4.625V to 5.375V), as stated in the "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" table (Rev. J, p.5) under "PG Upper/Lower Threshold Offset from VOUT". This tighter tolerance vs. adjustable variants (±8.5%) ensures precise sequencing in automotive microcontroller applications.
Can LT8609AHMSE16#TRPBF operate without an external RT resistor?
No, the LT8609AHMSE16#TRPBF requires an external RT resistor tied from the RT pin to GND to set switching frequency, as confirmed in the "PIN FUNCTIONS" section (Rev. J, p.11) and "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" table (p.5). Without it, the oscillator remains unconfigured and the device will not switch - RT is not internally terminated or defaulted.
