Product details
Overview
LT8610ABHMSE#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 AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive applications. It delivers fixed 5V output in thermally enhanced 16-lead MSOP package and supports synchronization, soft-start, and power-good signaling.
For engineers reviewing the LT8610ABHMSE#TRPBF datasheet, LT8610ABHMSE#TRPBF pinout, LT8610ABHMSE#TRPBF application, or LT8610ABHMSE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include ultralow IQ at light load, high efficiency across 1mA–3.5A range, EMI-optimized switching, and operation up to 150°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The LT8610ABHMSE#TRPBF employs constant-frequency current-mode control with adjustable 200kHz–2.2MHz switching via RT resistor. Its internal 0.97V reference regulates FB or fixed VOUT (5V) with ±1% output accuracy over line, load, and temperature.
Burst Mode operation enables 2.5µA input current at no load while maintaining regulation; pulse-skipping mode activates when SYNC is pulled high. The device integrates top/bottom NMOS switches (120mΩ/65mΩ), supports BIAS pin sourcing for improved efficiency, and features frequency foldback during startup or overload.
Key Specifications

| Input Voltage Range | 3.4V to 42V - supports wide automotive battery transients and industrial 24/36V rails. |
| Output Current | 3.5A continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and communication ICs in harsh environments. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.5µA at 12VIN→5VOUT - enables always-on systems with multi-year battery life. |
| Minimum On-Time | 30ns - allows high step-down ratios (e.g., 42V→5V) at 2MHz without pulse skipping. |
| Efficiency @1A | 95% at 12VIN→5VOUT - reduces thermal stress and eliminates need for heatsinking in compact layouts. |

| Feedback Reference | 0.970V ±0.006V - enables precise output regulation and stable loop compensation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead plastic MSOP with exposed thermal pad (Pin 17 = GND). θJA = 40°C/W, θJC(PAD) = 10°C/W. Exposed pad must be soldered to PCB for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SYNC (1) | External clock input | Enables synchronization to external clock or forces pulse-skipping mode when tied high; grounded for low-ripple Burst Mode. |
| TR/SS (2) | Soft-start & tracking control | Programs output ramp rate via capacitor; enables voltage tracking of another rail during startup. |
| RT (3) | Frequency programming | Resistor to GND sets switching frequency from 200kHz to 2.2MHz for EMI optimization. |
| EN/UV (4) | Enable & undervoltage lockout | 1.0V threshold with 40mV hysteresis - provides precise VIN monitoring and controlled shutdown. |
| VIN (5,6) | Main power input | Supplies internal circuitry and top switch; requires local 1µF ceramic bypass near pins. |
| NC (7) | No connect | Not internally bonded - must remain unconnected. |
| GND (8) | Power ground return | Return path for bottom switch; must be tied to exposed pad (Pin 17) for thermal and noise integrity. |
| VOUT (16) | Fixed 5V regulated output | Internal 12.5MΩ feedback divider - eliminates external resistors and minimizes no-load current. |
| PG (15) | Power-good flag | Open-drain output signals VOUT within ±9% of target and absence of fault conditions. |
| BIAS (14) | Internal regulator supply | When tied to VOUT ≥3.3V, reduces VIN current draw and improves light-load efficiency. |
| INTVCC (13) | Internal 3.4V regulator output | Bypass with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor; powers gate drivers and control logic. |
| BST (12) | Bootstrap supply | Requires 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to SW for high-side NMOS gate drive. |
| SW (9,10,11) | Switch node | Connects to inductor and BST capacitor; must be minimized in layout to reduce EMI. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT8610AHMSE#TRPBF | Same package and temp grade, but LT8610A variant - lower light-load efficiency (82% vs 91% at 1mA), higher output ripple in Burst Mode. | Lacks LT8610AB's optimized Burst Mode; suitable where lowest IQ is less critical than minimal ripple. | Select LT8610AHMSE#TRPBF only if design prioritizes tighter output ripple over ultralow IQ and peak efficiency. |
| LT8640SHE#TRPBF | Higher 6A output, 40V max input, 2.5µA IQ, but 20-lead LQFN package and no AEC-Q100 rating. | Offers higher current and smaller solution size, but lacks automotive qualification and uses different footprint. | Choose LT8640SHE#TRPBF for non-automotive 5V/6A applications needing smaller board area and higher current headroom. |
Compared with LT8610AHMSE#TRPBF, the LT8610ABHMSE#TRPBF delivers 9% higher efficiency at 1mA load and lower output ripple sensitivity, while LT8640SHE#TRPBF trades automotive qualification for higher current and smaller package - making LT8610ABHMSE#TRPBF optimal for AEC-Q100-compliant 3.5A 5V systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for LT8610ABHMSE#TRPBF?
The LT8610ABHMSE#TRPBF is rated for operation from –40°C to +150°C junction temperature and is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive use. This rating is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and applies to all LT8610ABHMSE variants. Thermal derating above 125°C is required per Analog Devices' lifetime guidelines, and the exposed pad (Pin 17) must be soldered to ensure θJC(PAD) = 10°C/W performance.
Does LT8610ABHMSE#TRPBF support fixed 5V output without external feedback resistors?
Yes, the LT8610ABHMSE#TRPBF is the fixed 5V version of the LT8610AB series and contains an internal 12.5MΩ feedback divider connected to Pin 16 (VOUT). No external resistors are needed - this configuration minimizes no-load current and ensures ±1% output accuracy over temperature and line, directly supporting simplified, high-reliability designs.
How does the Burst Mode efficiency of LT8610ABHMSE#TRPBF compare to LT8610A?
The LT8610ABHMSE#TRPBF achieves 91% efficiency at 1mA load (VIN=12V, VOUT=3.3V), versus 82% for the LT8610A - a 9% absolute improvement enabled by higher Burst Mode current limit (1A vs 400mA). This comes with proportionally higher output ripple, mitigated by increasing output capacitance, as documented in the datasheet's Table 1 and Figure 2b.
Can LT8610ABHMSE#TRPBF be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, the LT8610ABHMSE#TRPBF supports external synchronization via the SYNC pin (Pin 1). Applying a logic-level clock signal (0.8V–2.4V thresholds) synchronizes switching to the external frequency and forces pulse-skipping mode. This capability enables EMI reduction through frequency dithering or alignment with system clocks - critical in automotive and industrial timing-sensitive systems.
What is the role of the BIAS pin on LT8610ABHMSE#TRPBF, and how should it be connected?
The BIAS pin (Pin 14) supplies current to the internal 3.4V regulator. When tied to VOUT (≥3.3V), it reduces VIN current draw and improves light-load efficiency. For the LT8610ABHMSE#TRPBF (fixed 5V), BIAS must be connected directly to VOUT. A 1µF ceramic bypass capacitor is recommended if BIAS connects to any supply other than VOUT.
