Product details
Overview
LT8610AEMSE#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 fixed 5V output. It operates across 3.4V–42V input, delivers low-ripple regulation, and is housed in a thermally enhanced 16-lead MSOP package for automotive and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LT8610AEMSE#TRPBF datasheet, LT8610AEMSE#TRPBF pinout, LT8610AEMSE#TRPBF application, or LT8610AEMSE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include ultralow IQ under light load, AEC-Q100 qualification, fixed 5V output accuracy (±0.3%), 700kHz typical switching frequency, and integrated soft-start with tracking capability.
Technical Context
The LT8610AEMSE#TRPBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control with an internal 0.97V reference and RT-programmable oscillator (200kHz–2.2MHz). Its synchronous rectification uses top/bottom NMOS switches with 120mΩ/65mΩ on-resistance and 6.7A/4.3A current limits respectively.
Burst Mode operation enables 2.5µA IQ at no load while maintaining ±9% PG flag accuracy; EN/UV pin provides precise 1V threshold shutdown; TR/SS pin supports programmable soft-start and output voltage tracking via external capacitor; BIAS pin reduces VIN current draw when tied to VOUT ≥3.3V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.4V to 42V - supports wide-range industrial and automotive battery inputs including cold-crank conditions. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.00V ±0.3% - internally trimmed with 12.5MΩ feedback divider; eliminates external resistor network. |
| Max Output Current | 3.5A continuous - enables single-chip 5V/3.5A rail for FPGA I/O, microcontroller cores, or sensor subsystems. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.5µA at no load - sustains >1-year battery life in always-on automotive modules (e.g., telematics, ADAS sensors). |
| Min On-Time | 30ns - allows high step-down ratios (e.g., 42V→5V) at 2MHz switching without pulse skipping. |
| Switching Frequency | Programmable 200kHz–2.2MHz via RT pin - enables EMI optimization and compact magnetics design. |
| Package | 16-Lead MSOP with exposed thermal pad - θJC(PAD) = 10°C/W enables 3.5A operation at ≤125°C junction temperature. |
Pinout & Package
The LT8610AEMSE#TRPBF is housed in a 16-lead plastic MSOP package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 17), which must be soldered to PCB ground for thermal performance (θJA = 40°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SYNC (1) | External clock synchronization input | Ground for low-ripple Burst Mode; tie to logic high or external clock for pulse-skipping mode; disables frequency foldback. |
| TR/SS (2) | Soft-start and output tracking control | Capacitor here sets output ramp rate; internal 2.2µA pull-up enables simple RC soft-start; pulled low during fault. |
| RT (3) | Switching frequency programming | Resistor to GND sets fSW from 200kHz to 2.2MHz; enables EMI compliance and layout optimization. |
| EN/UV (4) | Enable and input undervoltage lockout | 1.00V rising threshold ensures reliable startup above 3.4V VIN; 40mV hysteresis prevents chatter near UVLO. |
| VIN (5,6) | Main input power supply | Dual pins reduce IR drop and improve thermal path; require local 1µF ceramic bypass close to pins. |
| NC (7) | No connect | Not bonded internally; leave unconnected or tie to GND per layout best practice. |
| GND (8) | Power and signal ground return | Return path for bottom switch and control circuitry; must be tied to exposed pad (Pin 17). |
| SW (9,10,11) | Switch node connection | High-current path to inductor and BST capacitor; requires minimal PCB area to reduce EMI and ringing. |
| BST (12) | Bootstrap gate drive supply | 0.1µF ceramic capacitor between BST and SW provides gate voltage >VIN for top NMOS drive. |
| INTVCC (13) | Internal 3.4V regulator bypass | Requires ≥1µF low-ESR ceramic cap; powers internal logic; sourced from BIAS if >3.1V, else from VIN. |
| BIAS (14) | Efficiency-optimized bias supply | Tie to VOUT (5V) to reduce VIN current draw and improve light-load efficiency; bypass with 1µF if externally sourced. |
| PG (15) | Power good open-drain flag | Asserts high when VOUT is within ±9% of 5V and no fault; valid above 3.4V VIN regardless of EN state. |
| VOUT (16) | Regulated 5V output | Fixed 5V output pin with internal 12.5MΩ divider; connects directly to load and output capacitors. |
| GND (17) | Exposed thermal pad | Must be soldered to PCB ground plane; primary thermal path; reduces θJC to 10°C/W. |

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 | Same 3.5A/42V specs but improved light-load efficiency (91% vs 82% at 1mA); higher burst-mode ripple; slower full-frequency transition. | Better suited for battery-powered systems where average efficiency dominates peak ripple concerns. | Select LT8610ABEMSE#TRPBF when optimizing for average system efficiency over full load range, especially below 10mA. |
| LT8640SIMSE#TRPBF | Higher 6A output, 42V input, 2.5µA IQ, but requires external feedback resistors; no fixed 5V option; larger 20-lead MSE package. | Used where adjustable output or higher current is required; lacks integrated 5V divider and smaller footprint. | Choose LT8640SIMSE#TRPBF only when >3.5A output or programmable VOUT is mandatory; adds design complexity and board area. |
Compared with LT8610ABEMSE#TRPBF, the LT8610AEMSE#TRPBF offers lower output ripple in Burst Mode and faster frequency ramp-up under light loads, making it preferable for noise-sensitive analog circuits. Versus LT8640SIMSE#TRPBF, it trades adjustability and current headroom for simplicity, smaller size, and guaranteed 5V accuracy without external components.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the LT8610AEMSE#TRPBF over temperature and line?
The LT8610AEMSE#TRPBF delivers a fixed 5V output with ±0.3% initial accuracy and ±0.6% total variation over –40°C to +125°C junction temperature and 4V–42V input range, as confirmed by datasheet Figure G47 and Electrical Characteristics table.
Does the LT8610AEMSE#TRPBF require external feedback resistors to set its 5V output?
No. The LT8610AEMSE#TRPBF integrates a precision 12.5MΩ internal feedback divider optimized for 5V output, eliminating external resistors and associated tolerance errors or leakage effects that degrade light-load IQ performance.
How does the BIAS pin improve efficiency in the LT8610AEMSE#TRPBF?
The BIAS pin allows the LT8610AEMSE#TRPBF to source internal circuitry current from the 5V output instead of VIN when tied to VOUT, reducing total input current by ~3mA at 1A load and improving light-load efficiency-critical for battery-powered applications.
What is the minimum recommended output capacitance for stable operation of the LT8610AEMSE#TRPBF?
Analog Devices specifies a minimum 47µF ceramic output capacitance (e.g., two 22µF X7R in parallel) for the LT8610AEMSE#TRPBF to ensure stability, transient response, and <10mVP-P ripple at 3.5A; lower values risk instability and excessive overshoot during load steps.
Is the LT8610AEMSE#TRPBF pin-compatible with the LT8610ABEMSE#TRPBF?
Yes-the LT8610AEMSE#TRPBF and LT8610ABEMSE#TRPBF share identical 16-lead MSOP packaging, pinout, and footprint; they differ only in internal Burst Mode optimization, so PCB layout is fully interchangeable.
