Product details
Overview
LT8610ABEMSE#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a 42V, 3.5A synchronous step-down regulator with 2.5µA quiescent current in Burst Mode, 30ns minimum on-time, and fixed 5V output. It features integrated power switches, internal feedback divider (12.5MΩ), and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive power supplies requiring high efficiency at light loads and robust input voltage range.
For engineers reviewing the LT8610ABEMSE#TRPBF datasheet, LT8610ABEMSE#TRPBF pinout, LT8610ABEMSE#TRPBF application, or LT8610ABEMSE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include ultralow IQ regulation (2.5µA @ 12VIN→5VOUT), 30ns min-on-time for high VIN/VOUT ratios, ±9% PG flag accuracy, 16-lead MSOP thermal performance (θJC = 10°C/W), and BIAS pin support for improved efficiency.
Technical Context
The LT8610ABEMSE#TRPBF uses constant-frequency current-mode control with RT-programmable switching frequency (200kHz–2.2MHz) and built-in frequency foldback during start-up or overload. Its synchronous architecture integrates top and bottom NMOS power switches (120mΩ/65mΩ typical RDS(on)) and employs an internal 0.97V reference with ±0.6% initial accuracy over temperature.
Burst Mode operation enables ultralow quiescent current by disabling internal circuitry between switching bursts; the LT8610AB variant improves light-load efficiency versus LT8610A via higher Burst Mode current limit (1A vs 400mA), at the cost of increased output ripple-mitigated by larger output capacitance per design guidelines.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.4V to 42V - supports wide automotive battery transients and industrial DC rails without external pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.00V ±1% - internally trimmed; eliminates external feedback resistors and reduces BOM count. |
| Max Output Current | 3.5A continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and communication ICs in compact systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.5µA @ 12VIN → 5VOUT - enables always-on operation in battery-powered automotive modules with multi-year standby life. |
| Min On-Time | 30ns - allows stable 5V output from up to 42V input at 2MHz switching, critical for high VIN/VOUT conversion. |
| PG Accuracy | ±9% of VOUT - provides reliable power-good signaling for system sequencing and fault detection. |
| Thermal Resistance | θJC(PAD) = 10°C/W - exposed pad (Pin 17) must be soldered to PCB copper for effective heat dissipation in high-current applications. |
Pinout & Package
LT8610ABEMSE#TRPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 16-lead plastic MSOP package with exposed GND pad (Pin 17). The package measures 4.0mm × 3.0mm × 0.85mm and requires soldering of the exposed pad to PCB ground plane for optimal thermal performance (θJA = 40°C/W, θJC = 10°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SYNC (1) | External clock synchronization input | Ground for low-ripple Burst Mode; tie to logic high or external clock for pulse-skipping mode; disables frequency foldback when driven. |
| TR/SS (2) | Soft-start and tracking control | Capacitor-programmed voltage ramp rate; internal 2.2µA pull-up enables simple soft-start; pulled low during fault/shutdown. |
| RT (3) | Switching frequency programming | Resistor-to-ground sets fSW from 200kHz to 2.2MHz; determines inductor size, efficiency trade-offs, and EMI profile. |
| EN/UV (4) | Enable and input undervoltage lockout | 1.00V rising threshold with 40mV hysteresis; enables precise VIN brown-out protection or controlled startup sequencing. |
| VIN (5,6) | Main input power supply | Dual pins reduce trace resistance and inductance; require local 1µF ceramic bypass close to pins for stability and EMI reduction. |
| NC (7) | No connect | Not bonded internally; must remain unconnected to avoid parasitic coupling or mechanical stress. |
| GND (8) | Power and signal ground return | Return path for bottom switch and control circuitry; must be tied to exposed pad (Pin 17) and low-impedance PCB ground plane. |
| SW (9,10,11) | Switch node connection | High dv/dt node connecting to inductor and BST capacitor; requires minimized PCB area and tight layout to reduce EMI and switching losses. |
| BST (12) | Bootstrap supply for top switch gate drive | Requires 0.1µF ceramic capacitor between BST and SW; critical for proper high-side NMOS turn-on and efficiency. |
| INTVCC (13) | Internal 3.4V regulator bypass | Must be decoupled with ≥1µF low-ESR ceramic; supplies internal logic; draws current from BIAS if >3.1V, else from VIN. |
| BIAS (14) | Efficiency-optimized bias supply | Tie to VOUT (≥3.3V) to reduce VIN current draw and improve light-load efficiency; requires local 1µF bypass if externally sourced. |
| PG (15) | Open-drain power-good flag | Asserts high when VOUT is within ±9% of 5V and no faults present; valid above 3.4V VIN regardless of EN/UV state. |
| VOUT (16) | Regulated 5V output | Fixed-output pin with internal 12.5MΩ feedback divider; connects directly to load and output capacitors; not used for adjustable versions. |
| GND (17) | Exposed thermal pad | Electrically and thermally connected to internal GND; must be soldered to PCB copper for thermal management and EMI control. |

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 30ns min-on-time, but lower light-load efficiency (82% vs 91% at 1mA) and higher Burst Mode ripple. | Suitable for cost-sensitive designs where peak efficiency at ultra-light loads is secondary to lowest possible output ripple. | Select when minimizing output voltage perturbation during sleep mode is more critical than absolute standby current. |
| LT8640S-5#TRPBF | Higher 6A output, 40V max input, 2.5µA IQ, but requires external feedback resistors and lacks integrated 5V divider; supports spread-spectrum and higher fSW (up to 4MHz). | Preferred for next-generation designs needing scalability, programmability, or tighter EMI compliance beyond LT8610AB's fixed-output constraints. | Choose when future-proofing for variable output voltages or higher current headroom is required, accepting added BOM complexity. |
Compared with LT8610AEMSE-5#TRPBF, the LT8610ABEMSE#TRPBF delivers significantly higher light-load efficiency (91% vs 82% at 1mA) at the expense of greater output ripple-addressable with additional output capacitance.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LT8610ABEMSE#TRPBF?
The LT8610ABEMSE#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 42V on the VIN pins, with recommended operating range from 3.4V to 42V. This enables direct use in 24V and 36V industrial systems and automotive applications subject to load dump transients, provided external input protection (e.g., TVS) is implemented per design requirements.
Does the LT8610ABEMSE#TRPBF require external feedback resistors for 5V output?
No, the LT8610ABEMSE#TRPBF does not require external feedback resistors for 5V output. It integrates a precision 12.5MΩ internal feedback divider that regulates the VOUT pin to 5.00V ±1%, eliminating external components and associated tolerance errors-critical for maintaining accuracy and minimizing quiescent current in battery-powered systems.
How does the BIAS pin improve efficiency in the LT8610ABEMSE#TRPBF?
The BIAS pin on the LT8610ABEMSE#TRPBF allows the internal 3.4V regulator (INTVCC) to draw current from the 5V output rail instead of VIN when biased above 3.1V. This reduces total input current draw, improving full-load efficiency by approximately 1–2% and lowering thermal stress on the input stage-especially beneficial in high-current 5V applications like modem power supplies.
What is the purpose of the exposed pad (Pin 17) on the LT8610ABEMSE#TRPBF package?
The exposed pad (Pin 17) on the LT8610ABEMSE#TRPBF is electrically connected to GND and serves as the primary thermal conduction path. With θJC(PAD) = 10°C/W, it must be soldered to a large PCB copper area to dissipate heat effectively. Failure to do so risks thermal shutdown under 3.5A load and degrades long-term reliability in automotive or industrial ambient temperatures.
Can the LT8610ABEMSE#TRPBF synchronize to an external clock?
Yes, the LT8610ABEMSE#TRPBF can synchronize to an external clock via the SYNC pin (Pin 1). When driven with a logic-compatible square wave (0.8V–2.4V thresholds), the device aligns its switching edges to the external clock and operates in pulse-skipping mode-disabling frequency foldback and enabling deterministic EMI reduction in noise-sensitive systems such as automotive radar or audio subsystems.
