Product details
Overview
LT8610ACEMSE#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, 30ns minimum on-time, and adjustable 200kHz–2.2MHz switching frequency. It operates from 3V to 42V input and delivers regulated output for automotive infotainment power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LT8610ACEMSE#TRPBF datasheet, LT8610ACEMSE#TRPBF pinout, LT8610ACEMSE#TRPBF application, or LT8610ACEMSE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include ultralow IQ regulation at 12VIN→3.3VOUT, AEC-Q100 qualification, soft-start/tracking via TR/SS pin, and SYNC-enabled external clock synchronization for EMI control.
Technical Context
The LT8610ACEMSE#TRPBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control with internal 0.80V reference and slope compensation. Its 30ns minimum on-time enables high VIN/VOUT ratios (e.g., 42V→3.3V) without pulse-skipping instability.
It features dual supply paths: BIAS pin sourcing >3.1V powers internal circuitry independently of VIN, improving light-load efficiency; INTVCC provides 3.4V regulated bias for gate drivers and control logic, with UVLO at 2.47V.

| Quiescent Current | 2.5µA at 12VIN→3.3VOUT - enables always-on systems with multi-year battery life |
| Feedback Reference | 0.800V ±6mV - allows precise low-output-voltage regulation with minimal divider current |
| Max Output Current | 3.5A continuous - sustains full load under 125°C junction temperature with proper PCB thermal design |
| Min On-Time | 30ns - enables 42V→3.3V conversion at 2MHz without duty-cycle limitation |
| Switching Frequency | 200kHz to 2.2MHz - programmable via RT resistor for optimal EMI/efficiency trade-off |
| PG Accuracy | ±8% VOUT window - provides reliable power-good signaling for downstream microcontrollers |
Pinout & Package
LT8610ACEMSE#TRPBF uses a thermally enhanced 16-lead MSOP package with exposed pad (Pin 17 = GND). The package has θJA = 40°C/W and requires soldering of the exposed pad to PCB for thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SYNC (1) | External clock input | Enables synchronization to external source or forces pulse-skipping mode when tied high; must not float |
| TR/SS (2) | Soft-start & tracking control | Capacitor-programmed voltage ramp rate; pulls to FB during dropout to limit overshoot (LT8610AC-1 only) |
| RT (3) | Frequency programming | Resistor-to-GND sets oscillator frequency; 60.4kΩ yields ~700kHz for standard designs |
| EN/UV (4) | Enable & undervoltage lockout | Hysteretic threshold (1.015V rise / 0.97V fall) enables input voltage monitoring and controlled startup |
| VIN (5,6) | Main power input | Supplies top switch and internal circuitry; requires local 1µF ceramic bypass close to pins |
| NC (7) | No connect | Internally unconnected; no external connection required |
| GND (8) | Signal & power return | Return path for bottom switch and analog circuits; ties to exposed pad (Pin 17) |
| SW (9,10,11) | Power switch node | High-current switching node connecting to inductor and BST capacitor; minimize PCB loop area |
| BST (12) | Bootstrap supply | Drives top MOSFET gate; requires 0.1µF ceramic capacitor between BST and SW |
| INTVCC (13) | Internal regulator output | 3.4V supply for gate drivers; bypass with ≥1µF ceramic; not for external loading |
| BIAS (14) | Efficiency-optimized bias | When ≥3.1V applied (e.g., tied to VOUT), reduces VIN current draw and improves light-load efficiency |
| PG (15) | Power-good flag | Open-drain output active-high when VOUT within ±8% of target and no fault conditions detected |
| FB (16) | Feedback reference point | Regulated to 0.800V; connects to resistor divider tap; phase-lead cap (4.7–10pF) recommended |
| GND (17) | Exposed thermal pad | Must be soldered to PCB plane for thermal conduction and EMI reduction; electrically GND |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage specification for the LT8610ACEMSE#TRPBF?
The LT8610ACEMSE#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 below 6V. The 3.0V minimum is confirmed across the full –40°C to +125°C operating junction temperature range for the ACE grade variant.
How does the BIAS pin improve efficiency in the LT8610ACEMSE#TRPBF?
The BIAS pin on the LT8610ACEMSE#TRPBF reduces input current draw by sourcing internal circuitry power from VOUT instead of VIN when biased above 3.1V. At 1A load and 3.3V output, this lowers total input current by up to 9.2mA compared to VIN-only operation-directly improving light-load and full-load efficiency in systems where VOUT ≥ 3.3V.
Can the LT8610ACEMSE#TRPBF synchronize to an external clock, and what are the voltage requirements?
Yes, the LT8610ACEMSE#TRPBF supports external clock synchronization via the SYNC pin (Pin 1). The SYNC pin accepts logic-level inputs with falling threshold of 1.1V and rising threshold of 2.0V. It must not be left floating; tie to GND for Burst Mode, to INTVCC or logic high for pulse-skipping mode, or to an external clock source for synchronization.
What is the purpose of the TR/SS pin on the LT8610ACEMSE#TRPBF, and how is it used?
On the LT8610ACEMSE#TRPBF, the TR/SS pin (Pin 2) controls soft-start ramp rate and enables output voltage tracking. A capacitor from TR/SS to GND sets the output slew rate during startup. In the LT8610AC-1 variant, TR/SS also discharges to match FB during dropout to reduce overshoot-but the LT8610ACEMSE#TRPBF is the AC version, so this discharge feature is not present.
Is the LT8610ACEMSE#TRPBF qualified for automotive applications, and what grade does it carry?
Yes, the LT8610ACEMSE#TRPBF carries the ACE grade (–40°C to +125°C junction temperature) and is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications. Its ordering part number suffix "E" denotes the automotive-qualified temperature grade, and it meets stress testing requirements for humidity, temperature cycling, and mechanical shock per AEC-Q100 Rev H.
