Product details
Overview
LT8610ABHMSE-3.3#PBF from Analog Devices is a 42V, 3.5A synchronous step-down regulator with 2.5µA quiescent current in Burst Mode, fixed 3.3V output, 30ns minimum on-time, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive power supplies. It delivers high efficiency (91% at light load) and low EMI in a thermally enhanced 16-lead MSOP package.
For engineers reviewing the LT8610ABHMSE-3.3#PBF datasheet, LT8610ABHMSE-3.3#PBF pinout, LT8610ABHMSE-3.3#PBF application, or LT8610ABHMSE-3.3#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include ultralow IQ regulation, 3.3V fixed-output accuracy (±0.6%), thermal performance up to 150°C junction, and compatibility with BIAS-pin-assisted efficiency optimization.
Technical Context
The LT8610ABHMSE-3.3#PBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control with adjustable switching frequency (200kHz–2.2MHz via RT pin), internal 0.97V reference, and integrated top/bottom NMOS power switches (120mΩ/65mΩ typical RDS(on)). Its Burst Mode architecture dynamically disables circuitry between switching bursts to achieve 2.5µA input current at no load.
It features synchronized soft-start via TR/SS pin, ±9% power-good flag threshold referenced to VOUT, and VIN undervoltage lockout with 1V EN/UV threshold and 40mV hysteresis. The BIAS pin enables sourcing of INTVCC from VOUT (≥3.3V), reducing VIN current draw and improving full-load efficiency.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.4V to 42V - supports wide automotive battery transients including cold-crank (≥4.5V) and load-dump (≤42V). |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±0.6% - internally trimmed; eliminates external feedback resistors and reduces BOM count. |
| Max Output Current | 3.5A continuous - enables single-chip 3.3V supply for microcontrollers, sensors, and CAN transceivers. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.5µA at 12VIN→3.3VOUT - sustains >1-year battery life in always-on automotive modules. |
| Min On-Time | 30ns - enables high step-down ratios (e.g., 42V→3.3V) at 2MHz without pulse-skipping instability. |
| Thermal Rating | Junction temp –40°C to +150°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade H for under-hood applications. |
| Efficiency (Light Load) | 91% at 1mA, 12VIN→3.3VOUT - superior to LT8610A (82%) due to optimized Burst Mode current limit. |
Pinout & Package
LT8610ABHMSE-3.3#PBF uses a 16-lead plastic MSOP package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 17 = GND). The package provides θJA = 40°C/W and θJC(PAD) = 10°C/W, requiring soldered GND pad for thermal compliance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SYNC (1) | External clock sync input | Ground for low-ripple Burst Mode; tie to logic high or external clock for pulse-skipping mode. |
| TR/SS (2) | Soft-start & tracking control | Capacitor-programmed voltage ramp; internal 2.2µA pull-up enables controlled startup slew rate. |
| RT (3) | Frequency programming | Resistor-to-GND sets switching frequency from 200kHz to 2.2MHz; enables EMI optimization. |
| EN/UV (4) | Enable & input UVLO | 1.0V rising threshold with 40mV hysteresis; supports programmable VIN cutoff via resistor divider. |
| VIN (5,6) | Main input power | Dual pins reduce IR drop and improve thermal path; require local 1µF ceramic bypass. |
| NC (7) | No connect | Not bonded; must remain unconnected to avoid parasitic coupling. |
| GND (8) | Power ground return | Return path for bottom switch; must be tied to exposed pad (Pin 17) for thermal and electrical integrity. |
| SW (9,10,11) | Switch node | High-current output of internal FETs; requires minimal PCB area and direct connection to inductor/boost cap. |
| BST (12) | Bootstrap supply | Drives top FET gate above VIN; requires 0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to IC. |
| INTVCC (13) | Internal 3.4V regulator output | Bypass with ≥1µF ceramic; supplies internal logic; draws from BIAS if VBIAS > 3.1V. |
| BIAS (14) | Efficiency-boosting bias supply | Tie directly to VOUT (3.3V) to reduce VIN current and improve full-load efficiency by ~2–3%. |
| PG (15) | Power-good flag | Open-drain output active when VOUT is within ±9% of 3.3V and no fault (TSD, UVLO, OCP). |
| VOUT (16) | Regulated 3.3V output | Fixed-output pin with internal 14.3MΩ feedback divider; connects directly to load and output capacitors. |
| GND (17) | Exposed thermal pad | Mandatory GND connection; soldering required to meet thermal specs and ensure reliability. |

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for LT8610ABHMSE-3.3#PBF?
The LT8610ABHMSE-3.3#PBF is rated for a maximum junction temperature of +150°C and is qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade H. This specification is guaranteed over the full –40°C to +150°C operating junction temperature range, with thermal derating applied above 125°C to ensure long-term reliability in under-hood automotive applications.
Does LT8610ABHMSE-3.3#PBF require an external feedback resistor network?
No, the LT8610ABHMSE-3.3#PBF does not require external feedback resistors. It integrates a precision 14.3MΩ internal resistor divider that fixes the output voltage at 3.3V ±0.6%, simplifying layout, reducing BOM count, and minimizing quiescent current contribution from external divider leakage.
How does the BIAS pin improve efficiency in LT8610ABHMSE-3.3#PBF?
The BIAS pin on the LT8610ABHMSE-3.3#PBF allows the internal 3.4V regulator (INTVCC) to draw current from VOUT instead of VIN when VBIAS ≥ 3.1V. Tying BIAS directly to the 3.3V output reduces VIN current draw by >40% at 1A load, lowering overall power dissipation and improving full-load efficiency by approximately 2–3%.
What is the purpose of the TR/SS pin on LT8610ABHMSE-3.3#PBF?
The TR/SS (Track/Soft-Start) pin on the LT8610ABHMSE-3.3#PBF controls output voltage ramp rate during startup and enables output voltage tracking. An external capacitor on this pin programs the soft-start slew rate; the internal 2.2µA pull-up current creates a linear voltage ramp, preventing inrush current and ensuring controlled power-up sequencing for downstream ICs.
Is LT8610ABHMSE-3.3#PBF pin-compatible with LT8610AHMSE-3.3#PBF?
Yes, the LT8610ABHMSE-3.3#PBF is pin-compatible with the LT8610AHMSE-3.3#PBF - both use identical 16-lead MSOP packages with exposed thermal pads and identical pin assignments. However, the LT8610ABHMSE-3.3#PBF delivers higher light-load efficiency (91% vs. 82%) and increased output ripple in Burst Mode, requiring evaluation of system ripple tolerance before substitution.
