Product details
Overview
LT8610ACEMSE-1#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a 42V, 3.5A synchronous step-down regulator with 2.5µA quiescent current in Burst Mode, 0.80V feedback reference, 3V minimum input voltage, and internal compensation optimized for high-frequency operation (1.5–2.2MHz). It delivers stable 3.3V/5V power in automotive infotainment and industrial control systems where ultra-low IQ and fast transient response are critical.
For engineers reviewing the LT8610ACEMSE-1#TRPBF datasheet, LT8610ACEMSE-1#TRPBF pinout, LT8610ACEMSE-1#TRPBF application, or LT8610ACEMSE-1#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 30ns minimum on-time, ±8% power-good accuracy, TR/SS-controlled soft-start, SYNC-enabled external clock synchronization, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive environments.
Technical Context
The LT8610ACEMSE-1#TRPBF employs constant-frequency current-mode control with internal 0.80V reference and optimized Type II compensation for enhanced loop bandwidth. Its architecture integrates top/bottom NMOS switches (120mΩ/65mΩ), programmable oscillator (RT pin), and dedicated BIAS pin for efficiency improvement at ≥3.3V outputs.
It features dual operating modes: ultralow-IQ Burst Mode (2.5µA at 12VIN→3.3VOUT) and pulse-skipping mode (enabled via SYNC pin), with frequency foldback during startup or overload. The TR/SS discharge circuit actively regulates output voltage ramp during dropout recovery to suppress overshoot.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.0V to 42V - supports wide-range industrial and automotive battery inputs including cold-crank (6V) and load-dump (40V+) |
| Quiescent Current | 2.5µA - enables >1-year battery life in always-on automotive modules without compromising regulation |
| Feedback Reference | 0.800V ±6mV - allows precise output programming with low-resistor-divider current, minimizing no-load IQ penalty |
| Switching Frequency | 1.5MHz to 2.2MHz - enables compact 2.2µH–4.7µH inductors and reduces EMI filtering footprint |
| Output Current | 3.5A continuous - sustains full load under 125°C junction temperature with proper PCB thermal design |
| Minimum On-Time | 30ns - supports high VIN-to-low VOUT conversion (e.g., 42V→3.3V) without pulse skipping or instability |
| Power-Good Accuracy | ±8% of VFB - provides reliable system reset signaling across temperature and line/load variations |
Pinout & Package
LT8610ACEMSE-1#TRPBF uses a thermally enhanced 16-lead MSOP package with exposed pad (Pin 17 = GND), requiring soldering of the pad for θJC(PAD) = 10°C/W thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SYNC (1) | External clock synchronization input | Enables EMI reduction via fixed-frequency alignment; ties low for Burst Mode, high for pulse-skipping |
| TR/SS (2) | Tracking/Soft-Start control | Programs output ramp rate with capacitor; discharges during dropout recovery to limit overshoot |
| RT (3) | Frequency programming resistor | Resistor to GND sets switching frequency (1.5–2.2MHz); determines minimum load for full-frequency operation |
| EN/UV (4) | Enable/undervoltage lockout | Hysteretic threshold (1.015V rising / 0.97V falling) enables input brownout protection and controlled startup |
| VIN (5,6) | Main input power supply | Supplies internal circuitry and top switch; requires local 1µF ceramic bypass close to pins |
| NC (7) | No connect | Not bonded internally; must remain unconnected on PCB |
| GND (8) | Signal ground return | Return path for bottom switch and error amplifier; tied to exposed pad (Pin 17) for thermal conduction |
| SW (9,10,11) | Switch node | Drives external inductor; must be minimized in area to reduce EMI and switching losses |
| BST (12) | Bootstrap supply | Charges 0.1µF capacitor to drive top NMOS gate above VIN; critical for high-side switch conduction |
| INTVCC (13) | Internal 3.4V regulator output | Bypassed with ≥1µF ceramic; powers control logic; sourced from BIAS if VBIAS > 3.1V |
| BIAS (14) | Efficiency-optimized bias supply | When tied to VOUT ≥3.3V, reduces VIN current draw and improves light-load efficiency |
| PG (15) | Power-good open-drain flag | Signals VOUT within ±8% of target; valid down to VIN = 3.0V regardless of EN state |
| FB (16) | Feedback voltage sense | Regulated to 0.800V; connects to resistor divider tap; requires 4.7–10pF phase-lead capacitor for stability |
| GND (17) | Exposed thermal pad | Must be soldered to PCB copper pour for thermal management and EMI reduction |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT8610ABEMSE#TRPBF | 0.97V feedback reference, 3.4V min VIN, same 3.5A/30ns specs but no TR/SS discharge circuit | Lacks dropout-recovery overshoot suppression; not AEC-Q100 qualified in same temp grade | Select only if 0.97V reference simplifies existing feedback network and automotive qualification is unnecessary |
| MPQ4433AGL-Z | 3.3V–65V input, 3.5A, 2.5µA IQ, but 0.8V ref and no SYNC or TR/SS discharge; non-AEC-Q100 | Missing synchronization and active overshoot control; lower max VIN derating at high temperature | Consider for cost-sensitive industrial use where EMI alignment and dropout recovery are secondary |
Compared with LT8610ABEMSE#TRPBF and MPQ4433AGL-Z, the LT8610ACEMSE-1#TRPBF uniquely combines AEC-Q100 qualification, 3V min VIN, TR/SS discharge for overshoot control, and 1.5–2.2MHz frequency range-making it the only choice for automotive-grade 2MHz designs requiring robust dropout recovery.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage specification for LT8610ACEMSE-1#TRPBF?
The LT8610ACEMSE-1#TRPBF has a guaranteed minimum input voltage of 3.0V, with typical operation down to 2.6V. This enables reliable startup and regulation during automotive cold-crank events where battery voltage dips to 6V nominal but can momentarily fall below 3.5V in extreme conditions. The device maintains regulation and PG assertion throughout this range when properly biased and thermally managed.
How does the TR/SS pin function differ between LT8610ACEMSE-1#TRPBF and LT8610ACEMSE#TRPBF?
The LT8610ACEMSE-1#TRPBF includes an active TR/SS discharge circuit that pulls the TR/SS pin to match FB voltage during dropout or brownout recovery, preventing output overshoot. In contrast, the LT8610ACEMSE#TRPBF lacks this circuit and relies solely on external capacitor discharge, making it more prone to overshoot in high-frequency (≥1.5MHz) applications exiting undervoltage conditions.
Is LT8610ACEMSE-1#TRPBF pin-compatible with LT8610ABEMSE#TRPBF?
No, LT8610ACEMSE-1#TRPBF is not pin-compatible with LT8610ABEMSE#TRPBF. While both use the same 16-lead MSOP package and share identical pin numbering and functions, the LT8610ACEMSE-1#TRPBF requires a minimum 100pF capacitor on TR/SS (Pin 2) for stability, whereas the LT8610ABEMSE#TRPBF has no such requirement. Layout changes are needed to accommodate this difference.
What is the purpose of the BIAS pin on LT8610ACEMSE-1#TRPBF?
The BIAS pin on LT8610ACEMSE-1#TRPBF allows the internal 3.4V regulator (INTVCC) to draw current from the output rail (VOUT) instead of VIN when VOUT ≥3.3V. This reduces total input current consumption by up to 15%, improves light-load efficiency, and lowers thermal stress on the input stage-especially beneficial in 3.3V/5V output configurations common in automotive and industrial systems.
Does LT8610ACEMSE-1#TRPBF support external clock synchronization?
Yes, LT8610ACEMSE-1#TRPBF supports external clock synchronization via the SYNC pin (Pin 1). When driven with a logic-level square wave (1.1V–2.4V thresholds), the device aligns its switching edges to the external clock, enabling deterministic EMI placement and reduction in sensitive RF or audio systems. This feature is retained from the LT8610AC family and fully functional in the -1 variant.
