Product details
Overview
LT8610ABEMSE-5#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a 42V, 3.5A synchronous step-down regulator with 2.5µA quiescent current in Burst Mode, fixed 5V output, and 30ns minimum on-time. It operates across 3.4V–42V input, delivers 91% light-load efficiency (LT8610AB variant), and targets automotive power supplies, GSM base stations, and industrial point-of-load conversion where ultra-low IQ and high reliability are critical.
For engineers reviewing the LT8610ABEMSE-5#TRPBF datasheet, LT8610ABEMSE-5#TRPBF pinout, LT8610ABEMSE-5#TRPBF application, or LT8610ABEMSE-5#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, 5V fixed-output accuracy (±0.6%), 700kHz typical switching frequency, and thermally enhanced 16-lead MSOP package with exposed GND pad.
Technical Context
The LT8610ABEMSE-5#TRPBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control with internal 0.97V reference and programmable oscillator (200kHz–2.2MHz via RT pin). Its architecture integrates top/bottom NMOS power switches (120mΩ/65mΩ RDS(on)) and supports BIAS pin operation to reduce VIN current when VOUT ≥ 3.3V.
Burst Mode regulation maintains 2.5µA IQ at no load by disabling internal circuitry between energy bursts; the LT8610AB variant achieves higher light-load efficiency than LT8610A at the cost of increased output ripple-mitigated by larger output capacitance. Frequency foldback protects during start-up and overload.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.4V to 42V - supports wide automotive battery transients and industrial 24/36V rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.00V ±0.6% - internally trimmed; eliminates external feedback resistors and reduces BOM count. |
| Max Output Current | 3.5A continuous - enables single-chip 5V/3.5A PoL for microcontrollers, FPGAs, and sensors. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.5µA at no load - sustains >1-year battery life in always-on automotive modules (e.g., telematics, ADAS sensors). |
| Min On-Time | 30ns - allows high step-down ratios (e.g., 42V→5V @ 700kHz) without pulse-skipping instability. |
| Efficiency (Light Load) | 91% at 1mA, 12VIN→5VOUT - superior to LT8610A (82%) due to optimized Burst Mode current limit and gate drive. |
| Switching Frequency | Programmable 200kHz–2.2MHz - avoids AM band interference and enables compact magnetics with 4.7µH inductor. |
| Package | 16-Lead MSOP with exposed thermal pad - θJA = 40°C/W; requires soldered GND pad for thermal performance and EMI reduction. |
Pinout & Package
LT8610ABEMSE-5#TRPBF uses a thermally enhanced 16-lead plastic MSOP package (MSE) with exposed GND pad (Pin 17), requiring PCB soldering for thermal and electrical integrity. Pin 7 is NC; Pins 5/6 and 9/10/11 are paralleled for high-current paths.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SYNC (1) | External clock sync input | Ground for low-ripple Burst Mode; tie to INTVCC or logic high for pulse-skipping; enables EMI control via frequency dithering. |
| TR/SS (2) | Soft-start/tracking control | Capacitor-programmed voltage ramp prevents inrush; enables output tracking during sequencing with other rails. |
| RT (3) | Oscillator frequency set | Resistor-to-GND sets fSW; 60.4kΩ yields 700kHz - balances efficiency, size, and EMI. |
| EN/UV (4) | Enable/undervoltage lockout | 1.00V rising threshold; hysteresis ensures clean startup/shutdown during battery brownouts. |
| VIN (5,6) | Main power input | Parallel pins minimize IR drop; require local 1µF ceramic bypass close to pins for stability. |
| GND (8) | Power ground return | Return path for bottom switch; must be tied to exposed pad (Pin 17) for thermal and noise performance. |
| SW (9,10,11) | Switch node | High-dI/dt node; connect to inductor and BST capacitor; keep PCB trace short and wide to reduce EMI. |
| BST (12) | Bootstrap supply | Drives top NMOS gate; requires 0.1µF ceramic capacitor from BST to SW for reliable high-side conduction. |
| INTVCC (13) | Internal 3.4V regulator output | Bypass with ≥1µF ceramic; powers control logic; draws from BIAS if VBIAS > 3.1V, reducing VIN current. |
| BIAS (14) | Efficiency-boost bias supply | Tie to VOUT (5V) to source INTVCC current, cutting VIN quiescent draw by >50% in 5V applications. |
| PG (15) | Power good flag | Open-drain output signals VOUT within ±9% of 5V and absence of faults; drives MCU reset or status LED. |
| VOUT (16) | Regulated 5V output | Fixed 5V rail; connects to internal 12.5MΩ feedback divider - no external resistors needed. |
| GND (17) | Exposed thermal pad | Mandatory solder connection to PCB GND plane; lowers θJC to 10°C/W and improves thermal margin by >25°C. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Qualified | Rated for –40°C to +125°C junction temperature - validated for automotive infotainment, body control, and ADAS modules. |
| Ultralow Quiescent Current | 2.5µA IQ regulating 12VIN→5VOUT - enables >10-year shelf life in battery-backed systems without periodic recharge. |
| Fixed 5V Output with Internal Divider | 12.5MΩ internal resistor network - eliminates external feedback components, saves board space, and improves long-term output stability. |
| BIAS Pin Efficiency Optimization | Draws INTVCC current from VOUT instead of VIN when VBIAS ≥ 3.3V - reduces total input current by up to 790µA at 1mA load in 5V applications. |
| Robust Overload Protection | Safely tolerates inductor saturation; top switch current limit = 6.7A, bottom switch = 4.3A - prevents thermal runaway during short-circuit events. |
| Low Dropout Operation | 200mV dropout at 1A - maintains regulation down to VIN = 5.2V, supporting cold-crank scenarios in 12V automotive systems. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT8610AEMSE-5#TRPBF | Same 5V fixed output, 3.5A rating, and package, but LT8610A variant has 82% light-load efficiency (vs. 91% for LT8610AB) and higher Burst Mode ripple. | Preferred where lowest possible output ripple is critical and light-load efficiency is secondary (e.g., noise-sensitive analog circuits). | Select LT8610AEMSE-5#TRPBF only if measured output ripple must stay <5mVP-P at 1mA load; otherwise LT8610ABEMSE-5#TRPBF delivers superior battery life. |
| MP2451DT-LF-Z | 3.3V–36V input, 5V fixed output, 0.6A max current, 2.5µA IQ, SOT-23-6 package - lacks AEC-Q100, BIAS pin, and 3.5A capability. | Suitable for low-power consumer IoT nodes, not automotive or industrial 3.5A loads. | Choose MP2451DT-LF-Z only for cost-sensitive, sub-1A applications where AEC-Q100 and thermal performance are not required. |
Compared with LT8610AEMSE-5#TRPBF, the LT8610ABEMSE-5#TRPBF trades slightly higher output ripple for 9% absolute light-load efficiency gain - directly extending battery life in always-on systems. Versus MP2451DT-LF-Z, it delivers 5.8× higher output current, automotive qualification, and integrated thermal management in a larger but necessary package.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed output voltage accuracy of the LT8610ABEMSE-5#TRPBF over temperature and line?
The LT8610ABEMSE-5#TRPBF guarantees 5.00V output with ±0.6% accuracy over full operating temperature (–40°C to +125°C) and input voltage range (6V to 42V at 1A load), per Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the Rev. C datasheet. This is achieved via laser-trimmed internal 12.5MΩ feedback resistors and 0.02%/V line regulation.
Can the LT8610ABEMSE-5#TRPBF operate from a 5V USB input while delivering 3.5A at 5V output?
No - the LT8610ABEMSE-5#TRPBF requires minimum 3.4V input but cannot regulate 5V→5V; its dropout voltage is 200mV at 1A, meaning VIN must exceed 5.2V to sustain 5V/3.5A output. For USB-powered 5V applications, use a buck-boost or LDO solution instead of LT8610ABEMSE-5#TRPBF.
How does the BIAS pin improve efficiency in the LT8610ABEMSE-5#TRPBF when used in a 5V application?
In LT8610ABEMSE-5#TRPBF, connecting the BIAS pin to VOUT (5V) sources INTVCC current from the output rail instead of VIN, reducing total input current by up to 790µA at 1mA load (per datasheet Table on p.3). This cuts quiescent consumption nearly in half, directly extending battery life in portable 5V systems.
Is the LT8610ABEMSE-5#TRPBF pin-compatible with the LT8610AEMSE-5#TRPBF?
Yes - LT8610ABEMSE-5#TRPBF and LT8610AEMSE-5#TRPBF share identical 16-lead MSOP package, pinout, and footprint. They differ only in internal Burst Mode optimization; both use same PCB layout, external components, and thermal design - enabling drop-in replacement where higher light-load efficiency is desired.
What is the maximum recommended switching frequency for the LT8610ABEMSE-5#TRPBF with 4.7µH inductor and 5V/3.5A output?
The LT8610ABEMSE-5#TRPBF supports up to 2.2MHz, but for 5V/3.5A output with 4.7µH inductor, 700kHz (RT = 60.4kΩ) is the recommended maximum - balancing efficiency (>93% at 1A), thermal rise (<25°C), and EMI. Higher frequencies increase switching losses and require tighter layout control per Figure G05 on datasheet page 5.
