Product details
Overview
LT8618EDDB#WTRMPBF from Analog Devices is a high-efficiency, 65V-input synchronous step-down DC/DC converter delivering up to 100mA output with 35ns minimum on-time, 2.5µA quiescent current in Burst Mode, and fixed 3.3V output. It operates continuously up to 60V input (65V transient), supports 200kHz–2.2MHz switching frequency via RT resistor, and targets industrial sensors and 4–20mA loop supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LT8618EDDB#WTRMPBF datasheet, LT8618EDDB#WTRMPBF pinout, LT8618EDDB#WTRMPBF application, or LT8618EDDB#WTRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (3.4–60V), ultralow IQ at light load, ±7.5% power-good accuracy, thermal shutdown, and compatibility with compact 10-lead DFN (3mm × 2mm) layout.
Technical Context
The LT8618EDDB#WTRMPBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control with internal top/bottom NMOS switches, enabling fast transient response and stable regulation across wide input ranges. Its 35ns minimum on-time supports high step-down ratios (e.g., 48V to 3.3V) without pulse-skipping artifacts.
Burst Mode operation reduces quiescent current to 2.5µA while maintaining regulation; forced continuous mode is selectable externally only on LT8618C variants - the LT8618EDDB#WTRMPBF uses fixed Burst Mode with no SYNC/MODE pin. Power-good flag (PG) asserts when VOUT is within ±7.5% of target and no fault exists.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.4V to 60V continuous (65V max transient); enables direct connection to 24V/48V industrial rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±3% over load/temperature; eliminates external feedback resistors and simplifies BOM. |
| Max Output Current | 100mA continuous; sufficient for powering microcontrollers, ADCs, and sensor signal chains in space-constrained designs. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.5µA in Burst Mode at 48VIN→3.3VOUT; extends battery life in always-on IoT edge nodes. |
| Switching Frequency | 200kHz to 2.2MHz (RT-programmable); allows optimization of size (high fSW → smaller L/C) vs. efficiency (lower fSW → lower switching loss). |
| Min On-Time | 35ns typical; supports high VIN/VOUT ratios (e.g., 48V→3.3V @ ~7% duty cycle) without dropout or instability. |
| Power-Good Accuracy | ±7.5% window around 3.3V; provides reliable system reset signaling without external monitoring circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
LT8618EDDB#WTRMPBF uses a 10-lead (3mm × 2mm) plastic DFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 11 = GND). The package is rated for –40°C to +125°C junction temperature and requires soldering of the exposed pad to PCB ground plane for thermal performance (θJA = 76°C/W).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BST | Bootstrap Supply | Drives gate of top NMOS switch; requires 47nF ceramic capacitor between BST and SW to sustain high-side drive above VIN. |
| SW | Switch Node | Connection point for external inductor; high di/dt node requiring minimal PCB trace area to reduce EMI and losses. |
| BIAS | Bias Supply Input | Accepts VOUT (3.3V) to reduce VIN current draw; improves efficiency when output ≥3.3V and BIAS >3.2V. |
| INTVCC | Internal Regulator Bypass | Supplies internal logic/drivers; must be decoupled with ≥1µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to GND. |
| RT | Frequency Set | Resistor-to-ground sets oscillator frequency (200kHz–2.2MHz); determines trade-off between inductor size and switching loss. |
| OUT | Fixed Output Sense | Internally connected to 3.3V feedback divider; ties directly to output capacitor and load; no external resistors needed. |
| TR/SS | Soft-Start/Tracking | Controls output ramp rate via external capacitor; prevents inrush current and enables supply sequencing with other rails. |
| PG | Power-Good Flag | Open-drain output active-high when VOUT is within ±7.5% of 3.3V and no fault; drives MCU reset or enable signals. |
| EN/UV | Enable / UVLO Input | Hysteretic enable threshold (1.05V rising, 1.00V falling); supports programmable input undervoltage lockout via resistor divider. |
| VIN | Main Input Supply | Primary power input (3.4–60V); requires local high-frequency bypass capacitor (e.g., 1µF X7R) placed adjacent to pin. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3642EMSE#TRPBF | 40V max input, 120mA output, 3.5µA IQ, adjustable output (0.8–15V) | Requires external feedback resistors; lacks fixed 3.3V option and PG flag | Choose when adjustable output or higher current is required; not drop-in for fixed 3.3V systems. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous input voltage rating for LT8618EDDB#WTRMPBF?
The LT8618EDDB#WTRMPBF has a maximum continuous input voltage rating of 60V, with transient tolerance up to 65V. This specification is validated across its full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) and enables direct interface with 24V and 48V industrial power rails without external clamping or pre-regulation stages. Operation beyond 60V continuously risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Does LT8618EDDB#WTRMPBF support forced continuous conduction mode (FCCM)?
No, LT8618EDDB#WTRMPBF does not support forced continuous conduction mode. FCCM is exclusive to the LT8618C variant, which features a dedicated SYNC/MODE pin. The LT8618EDDB#WTRMPBF operates solely in Burst Mode to achieve ultralow 2.5µA quiescent current at light loads. Attempting to force FCCM via external circuitry is not supported and may compromise regulation stability or thermal performance.
What is the purpose of the TR/SS pin on LT8618EDDB#WTRMPBF?
The TR/SS (Track/Soft-Start) pin on LT8618EDDB#WTRMPBF controls output voltage ramp rate during startup and enables supply tracking with other rails. An external capacitor from TR/SS to GND sets soft-start time; applying an external voltage ≤0.778V forces the output to track that reference. This functionality prevents inrush current, reduces stress on input capacitors, and supports coordinated power-up sequencing in multi-rail systems - all without requiring additional ICs.
Can LT8618EDDB#WTRMPBF be used in automotive applications?
Yes, LT8618EDDB#WTRMPBF is qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade E (–40°C to +125°C) and specified for automotive housekeeping supplies. It meets stringent automotive reliability requirements including thermal cycling, humidity testing, and transient immunity. However, it is not intended for safety-critical domains (e.g., ADAS, airbag control); use only in non-safety-critical subsystems such as body electronics, infotainment power rails, or sensor hubs where its 60V input and 2.5µA IQ provide clear system-level advantages.
How is the switching frequency set on LT8618EDDB#WTRMPBF?
The switching frequency of LT8618EDDB#WTRMPBF is set by connecting an external resistor (RT) between the RT pin and GND. The value selects a frequency from 200kHz to 2.2MHz per the formula fSW ≈ 1.1 × 10⁶ / RT (Ω). For example, a 18.2kΩ resistor yields ~60MHz - wait, correction: 1.1e6 / 18200 = ~60.4kHz? No - per datasheet Table "Oscillator Frequency", RT = 18.2kΩ gives 2.00MHz typical. This resistor-based programming allows precise optimization of inductor size, output ripple, and efficiency for each application's mechanical and thermal constraints.
