Product details
Overview
LT8609AIMSE16#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, and supports synchronization or spread-spectrum modulation for low EMI-ideal for automotive infotainment power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LT8609AIMSE16#TRPBF datasheet, LT8609AIMSE16#TRPBF pinout, LT8609AIMSE16#TRPBF application, or LT8609AIMSE16#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5V fixed output, 16-lead MSOP package with exposed thermal pad, ±7.5% power-good accuracy, 2.5µA no-load IQ, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive use.
Technical Context
The LT8609AIMSE16#TRPBF implements peak current mode control with internal 0.782V reference and fixed 5V regulation via internal resistor divider (8.95MΩ), eliminating external feedback components. Its oscillator frequency is set by RT pin resistance and ranges from 200kHz to 2.2MHz; with RT = 18.2kΩ, it operates at 2.00MHz typical.
Burst Mode operation enables ultralow quiescent current (2.5µA regulating 12VIN to 5VOUT) while maintaining <10mVP-P output ripple. The SYNC pin supports external clock synchronization or spread-spectrum modulation; the EN/UV pin provides accurate 1.05V rising threshold with 50mV hysteresis for VIN UVLO programming or shutdown control.
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; eliminates external feedback resistors and improves stability over temperature. |
| Max Continuous Output Current | 3A - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, CAN transceivers, and sensor clusters in automotive ECUs. |
| Quiescent Current (Burst Mode) | 2.5µA at 12VIN/5VOUT - enables always-on functionality in vehicle body electronics with minimal battery drain. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.00MHz typical (RT = 18.2kΩ) - allows use of compact 2.2µH inductors and reduces solution footprint. |
| Power-Good Accuracy | ±7.5% on VOUT - ensures reliable system reset sequencing when 5V rail reaches valid operating range. |
| Minimum On-Time | 45ns - supports high step-down ratios (e.g., 42V→5V at 2MHz) without pulse-skipping instability. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade | Grade I (–40°C to +125°C) - qualified for under-hood and cabin automotive applications per stress test requirements. |
Pinout & Package
LT8609AIMSE16#TRPBF uses 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 | Drives high-side NMOS gate above VIN; requires 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to SW for proper top-switch turn-on. |
| SW | Switch Node | Connects to inductor and BST capacitor; high dv/dt node requiring minimized PCB trace area to reduce EMI. |
| INTVCC | Internal 3.5V Regulator Bypass | Must be decoupled with ≥1µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to GND; powers internal logic and drivers. |
| RT | Frequency Set Resistor | Resistor to GND sets switching frequency (200kHz–2.2MHz); 18.2kΩ yields 2.00MHz typical. |
| SYNC | External Clock Input | Accepts 0V (Burst Mode), floating (pulse-skipping), or 3.2V–5.0V (spread-spectrum) for EMI reduction. |
| EN/UV | Enable / Input UVLO | 1.05V rising threshold with 50mV hysteresis; enables programmable VIN undervoltage lockout or shutdown. |
| VIN | Main Input Supply | Supplies internal circuitry and high-side switch; requires local 1µF+ ceramic bypass capacitor. |
| PG | Power-Good Flag | Open-drain output asserts high when VOUT is within ±7.5% of 5V and no fault exists; pulls low during startup/fault. |
| TR/SS | Soft-Start / Tracking | Capacitor-programmed voltage ramp controls 5V output slew rate; internal 2µA current source enables simple soft-start. |
| FB | Feedback Input | Not connected in LT8609A-5 variant; internal divider routes regulation to VOUT pin instead. |
| VOUT | Fixed 5V Output | Regulated 5.00V output node; connects to internal 8.95MΩ feedback divider; used for PG monitoring and load connection. |
| GND | Ground / Thermal Pad | Exposed pad (Pin 17) is GND and must be soldered to PCB plane for thermal dissipation and noise immunity. |
| NC | No Connect | Pins 2, 4, 12, 14 are no-connect; must remain unconnected per datasheet. |
Key Features

| Fixed 5V Output with Internal Divider | Eliminates external FB resistors, reducing BOM count and improving long-term output voltage drift performance. |
| Spread-Spectrum Modulation | Reduces peak EMI by ±10% frequency dithering when SYNC is biased at 3.2V–5.0V, easing CISPR-25 compliance. |
| Fast Minimum On-Time (45ns) | Enables high-frequency operation (2MHz) even at high input-to-output voltage ratios, minimizing inductor size. |
| AEC-Q100 Qualified | Validated for automotive use across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature, including HTOL, TC, and ESD testing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT8609AEMSE#TRPBF | Same 5V fixed output, but in 10-lead MSOP package (smaller footprint, higher θJA = 40°C/W). | Limited thermal margin at full 3A load in high ambient; less suitable for sealed enclosures or under-hood placement. | Select when board space is constrained and thermal environment is ≤85°C ambient with adequate airflow. |
| LT8609AIMSE16#TRPBF-5 | Identical part number variant; same electrical specs, package, and qualification-no functional difference. | No application difference; identical use cases and mounting requirements. | Use interchangeably; suffix variation reflects tape-and-reel packaging only, not functional distinction. |

FAQ
What is the output voltage accuracy of the LT8609AIMSE16#TRPBF?
The LT8609AIMSE16#TRPBF provides a fixed 5.00V output with initial accuracy of ±2% over temperature and line/load conditions. Its internal 8.95MΩ feedback divider ensures tight regulation without external resistor drift, and output voltage remains within ±0.375V (±7.5%) during power-good assertion for reliable system sequencing.
Does the LT8609AIMSE16#TRPBF require external feedback resistors?
No, the LT8609AIMSE16#TRPBF does not require external feedback resistors. As a fixed 5V variant of the LT8609A family, it integrates an internal 8.95MΩ resistor divider that directly regulates the VOUT pin to 5.00V, simplifying design, reducing component count, and improving long-term stability versus external resistor networks.
How does the SYNC pin function on the LT8609AIMSE16#TRPBF?
The SYNC pin on the LT8609AIMSE16#TRPBF supports three modes: tied low for Burst Mode (ultralow IQ), floating for pulse-skipping, or biased at 3.2V–5.0V for spread-spectrum modulation. Unlike the LT8609B, the LT8609AIMSE16#TRPBF retains full SYNC functionality, enabling EMI reduction without sacrificing light-load efficiency.
What thermal considerations apply to the LT8609AIMSE16#TRPBF's 16-lead MSOP package?
The LT8609AIMSE16#TRPBF uses a 16-lead MSOP with exposed thermal pad (Pin 17 = GND), achieving θJC = 10°C/W and θJA = 40°C/W. To maintain safe junction temperature at 3A, the exposed pad must be fully soldered to a minimum 100mm² internal or external copper plane with ≥4 thermal vias to inner ground layers.
Is the LT8609AIMSE16#TRPBF qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the LT8609AIMSE16#TRPBF is AEC-Q100 qualified for Grade I (–40°C to +125°C) operation and manufactured under automotive quality controls. It meets stress test requirements for temperature cycling, high-temperature operating life, and ESD, making it suitable for front-end infotainment, body electronics, and telematics systems.
