Product details
Overview
LT8610AIMSE-3.3#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a 42V, 3.5A synchronous step-down regulator with 2.5µA quiescent current in Burst Mode, fixed 3.3V output, 30ns minimum on-time, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive power supplies. It delivers high efficiency (93% at 1A/12VIN→3.3VOUT) and low dropout (200mV at 1A) in a thermally enhanced 16-lead MSOP package.
For engineers reviewing the LT8610AIMSE-3.3#TRPBF datasheet, LT8610AIMSE-3.3#TRPBF pinout, LT8610AIMSE-3.3#TRPBF application, or LT8610AIMSE-3.3#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include ultralow IQ regulation, fixed 3.3V output accuracy (±0.6%), 3.4V–42V input range, and compatibility with external synchronization and soft-start control.
Technical Context
The LT8610AIMSE-3.3#TRPBF employs constant-frequency current-mode control with an internal 0.97V reference and programmable switching frequency (200kHz–2.2MHz via RT pin). Its architecture integrates top and bottom NMOS power switches with 120mΩ and 65mΩ on-resistances, enabling high-efficiency synchronous rectification without external diodes.
Burst Mode operation shuts down internal circuitry between switching bursts to achieve 2.5µA IQ, while pulse-skipping mode (enabled via SYNC pin) maintains continuous oscillator operation for lower noise. The device features integrated overtemperature protection, VIN undervoltage lockout (1V EN/UV threshold), and PG flag signaling ±9% VOUT regulation tolerance and fault conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.4V to 42V - supports wide automotive battery transients and industrial DC rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±0.6% - internally trimmed; eliminates external feedback resistors and reduces BOM count. |
| Max Output Current | 3.5A - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and communication ICs in compact systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.5µA in Burst Mode - enables always-on functionality in battery-powered automotive modules. |
| Min On-Time | 30ns - allows high step-down ratios (e.g., 42V→3.3V) at 2MHz switching without pulse skipping. |
| Switching Frequency | 200kHz to 2.2MHz - adjustable via RT resistor; supports EMI optimization and small external component selection. |
| Thermal Rating | –40°C to +125°C junction - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade I for under-hood automotive use. |
Pinout & Package
LT8610AIMSE-3.3#TRPBF uses a 16-lead plastic MSOP package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 17 = GND), θJA = 40°C/W. The exposed pad must be soldered to PCB for thermal performance and electrical grounding.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SYNC (1) | External clock sync input | Enables synchronization to external clock or forces Burst Mode (GND) / pulse-skipping (high) operation. |
| TR/SS (2) | Soft-start and tracking control | Capacitor-programmable voltage ramp rate; enables output tracking during startup or sequencing. |
| RT (3) | Frequency programming | Resistor-to-ground sets switching frequency from 200kHz to 2.2MHz with tight tolerance. |
| EN/UV (4) | Enable and input UVLO | 1.0V rising threshold enables operation; hysteresis prevents chatter during brown-out conditions. |
| VIN (5,6) | Main power input | Dual pins reduce trace resistance and inductance; require local 1µF ceramic bypass near package. |
| NC (7) | No connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per layout best practices. |
| GND (8) | Power and signal ground | Return path for bottom switch; ties to exposed pad (Pin 17) for thermal and electrical integrity. |
| VOUT (16) | Regulated 3.3V output | Fixed-output pin with internal 14.3MΩ feedback divider; connects directly to load and output capacitor. |
| PG (15) | Power good flag | Open-drain output signals ±9% regulation window and fault conditions (e.g., overtemp, UVLO). |
| BIAS (14) | Bias supply input | When tied to VOUT ≥3.3V, powers internal regulators from output rail-reducing VIN current and improving efficiency. |
| INTVCC (13) | Internal 3.4V regulator bypass | Requires ≥1µF ceramic capacitor to ground; supplies gate drivers and control logic when BIAS not used. |
| BST (12) | Bootstrap supply | Drives top NMOS gate above VIN; requires 0.1µF ceramic capacitor between BST and SW pins. |
| SW (9,10,11) | Switch node | High-current connection to inductor and boost capacitor; must be minimized in PCB area to reduce EMI. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT8610ABIMSE-3.3#TRPBF | Higher light-load efficiency (91% vs 82% at 1mA), but increased output ripple in Burst Mode due to 1A burst current limit. | Better suited for ultra-low-power always-on functions where ripple can be filtered with larger COUT; less ideal for noise-sensitive analog circuits. | Select LT8610ABIMSE-3.3#TRPBF if maximizing battery life at µA loads is critical and ripple filtering is feasible. |
| LMQ66430QRNXTQ1 | 42V, 3A, 15µA IQ, automotive-grade; lacks SYNC and TR/SS pins; fixed 3.3V output with ±1% accuracy. | Lower integration (no soft-start control or external sync); simpler layout but less flexible for complex power sequencing. | Choose LMQ66430QRNXTQ1 for cost-sensitive automotive applications where advanced features are unnecessary and ±1% output tolerance is acceptable. |
Compared with LT8610ABIMSE-3.3#TRPBF, the LT8610AIMSE-3.3#TRPBF offers tighter output ripple control and lower Burst Mode current limit for quieter operation, while the LMQ66430QRNXTQ1 trades feature set for lower BOM cost and simplified design-making each suitable for distinct tiers of automotive and industrial power requirements.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed output voltage accuracy of the LT8610AIMSE-3.3#TRPBF over temperature and line?
The LT8610AIMSE-3.3#TRPBF guarantees 3.3V output within ±0.6% over –40°C to +125°C junction temperature and 4V to 42V input range at 0.5A load. This is achieved via laser-trimmed internal 14.3MΩ feedback divider and 0.97V reference with <0.02%/V line regulation.
Can the LT8610AIMSE-3.3#TRPBF be synchronized to an external clock, and what are the voltage thresholds?
Yes, the LT8610AIMSE-3.3#TRPBF supports external synchronization via the SYNC pin (Pin 1). SYNC falling threshold is 0.8V–1.4V and rising threshold is 1.6V–2.4V. When driven with a clean CMOS clock, the device locks to the external frequency and operates in pulse-skipping mode.
How does the BIAS pin improve efficiency in the LT8610AIMSE-3.3#TRPBF, and what is the recommended connection?
The BIAS pin (Pin 14) improves efficiency by sourcing INTVCC regulator current from VOUT instead of VIN when VBIAS ≥3.1V. For the LT8610AIMSE-3.3#TRPBF, tie BIAS directly to VOUT; this reduces input current draw and increases light-load efficiency by up to 15% compared to VIN-only operation.
What thermal management requirements apply to the LT8610AIMSE-3.3#TRPBF in high-power applications?
The LT8610AIMSE-3.3#TRPBF requires soldering of its exposed thermal pad (Pin 17) to a minimum 200mm² copper pour with ≥4 thermal vias to internal ground planes. With proper layout, it sustains 3.5A continuous output at +85°C ambient; derating is required above that per θJA = 40°C/W.
Does the LT8610AIMSE-3.3#TRPBF support power sequencing with other rails, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the LT8610AIMSE-3.3#TRPBF supports precise power sequencing via its TR/SS (Pin 2) and PG (Pin 15) pins. TR/SS accepts an external voltage ramp to control VOUT slew rate, while PG provides an open-drain signal indicating ±9% regulation-enabling coordination with other regulators in multi-rail systems.
