Product details
Overview
LT8610ACHMSE#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 AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive applications. It operates from 3V to 42V input, delivers regulated output down to 0.8V, and integrates internal power MOSFETs in a thermally enhanced 16-lead MSOP package with exposed pad.
For engineers reviewing the LT8610ACHMSE#TRPBF datasheet, LT8610ACHMSE#TRPBF pinout, LT8610ACHMSE#TRPBF application, or LT8610ACHMSE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include ultralow IQ for battery-powered systems, high-frequency synchronization capability (up to 2.2MHz), dropout performance (200mV @ 1A), EMI-optimized switching, and automotive-grade thermal reliability up to 150°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The LT8610ACHMSE#TRPBF employs constant-frequency current-mode control with internal top/bottom NMOS switches, 0.80V precision reference, and programmable oscillator via RT pin. Its architecture supports both Burst Mode (for <2.5µA IQ) and pulse-skipping modes, with frequency foldback during startup or overload to limit inductor current.
It features dual supply paths-INTVCC powered from VIN or BIAS (when >3.1V)-enabling high-efficiency operation at 3.3V+ outputs. The SYNC pin enables external clock synchronization or logic-level mode selection, while TR/SS provides soft-start and tracking control with internal 2.2µA pull-up and fault-discharge circuitry unique to the AC-1 variant.

Pinout & Package
LT8610ACHMSE#TRPBF uses a 16-lead plastic MSOP package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 17), θJC(PAD) = 10°C/W. The exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| 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 or synchronization |
| TR/SS (2) | Soft-start & tracking control | Capacitor-programmed voltage ramp; internal 2.2µA pull-up; discharged during dropout to reduce overshoot (AC-1) |
| RT (3) | Frequency programming | Resistor-to-ground sets switching frequency (200kHz–2.2MHz for AC; 1.5MHz–2.2MHz for AC-1) |
| EN/UV (4) | Enable & undervoltage lockout | Hysteretic threshold: 1.015V rise / 0.97V fall - enables input brownout protection with external resistor divider |
| VIN (5,6) | Main power input | Supplies internal circuitry and top switch; must be locally bypassed with low-ESR capacitor near pins |
| NC (7) | No connect | Not bonded internally - leave unconnected |
| GND (8) | Analog/digital ground | Return path for bottom switch and control circuits; tie to exposed pad (Pin 17) |
| SW (9,10,11) | Power switch node | Connects to inductor and BST capacitor; requires minimal PCB trace area for EMI reduction |
| BST (12) | Bootstrap supply | Drives top switch gate; requires 0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to IC |
| INTVCC (13) | Internal 3.4V regulator output | Bypass with ≥1µF ceramic; supplies drivers/control; sourced from BIAS if >3.1V, else from VIN |
| BIAS (14) | Efficiency-boost bias input | Tie to VOUT ≥3.3V to reduce VIN current draw and improve light-load efficiency |
| PG (15) | Power good flag | Open-drain output active when VOUT within ±8% of target and no faults - valid above 3.0V VIN |
| FB (16) | Feedback input | Regulated to 0.800V; connects to resistor divider tap; requires 4.7–10pF phase-lead capacitor to VOUT |
| GND (17) | Exposed thermal pad | Must be soldered to PCB ground plane - primary thermal path and low-inductance return |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT8610ACEMSE#TRPBF | Same silicon, –40°C to +125°C junction rating; no AEC-Q100 qualification | Suitable for industrial, not automotive under-hood use | Select when automotive qualification is unnecessary and cost sensitivity is higher |

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for LT8610ACHMSE#TRPBF?
The LT8610ACHMSE#TRPBF is guaranteed over a junction temperature range of –40°C to +150°C and is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive Grade H applications. Its exposed thermal pad (Pin 17) must be soldered to a PCB ground plane to achieve θJC(PAD) = 10°C/W and sustain 3.5A continuous output at 150°C ambient with appropriate board layout.
How does LT8610ACHMSE#TRPBF achieve 2.5µA quiescent current?
The LT8610ACHMSE#TRPBF achieves 2.5µA IQ in Burst Mode by disabling all non-essential circuitry between energy pulses - including oscillator, gate drivers, and error amplifier - while maintaining regulation via periodic charge pulses to the output capacitor. This behavior is enabled by grounding the SYNC pin and confirmed in typical applications with 12VIN → 3.3VOUT at no load.
Can LT8610ACHMSE#TRPBF synchronize to an external clock?
Yes, the LT8610ACHMSE#TRPBF supports external clock synchronization via its SYNC pin (Pin 1). When driven with a TTL/CMOS-compatible clock signal (1.1V–2.4V thresholds), the device aligns its switching edges to the external source and operates in pulse-skipping mode - enabling deterministic EMI reduction and multi-rail timing coordination in complex systems.
What is the purpose of the BIAS pin on LT8610ACHMSE#TRPBF?
The BIAS pin on LT8610ACHMSE#TRPBF provides an auxiliary power path for the internal 3.4V regulator (INTVCC). When connected to VOUT ≥3.3V, it reduces VIN current draw and improves light-load efficiency by >50%. This is especially valuable in 3.3V/5V output applications where BIAS sourcing avoids resistive losses in the VIN path.
Does LT8610ACHMSE#TRPBF support output voltage tracking?
Yes, the LT8610ACHMSE#TRPBF supports output voltage tracking via the TR/SS pin (Pin 2). When a voltage ramp is applied to TR/SS below 0.8V, the FB pin is servoed to match that voltage - enabling controlled startup sequencing with other power rails. An external capacitor to ground programs the slew rate, and the internal 2.2µA pull-up ensures monotonic startup even with no external drive.
