Product details
Overview
LT8620EMSE#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 65V input, 2A synchronous step-down regulator in a thermally enhanced 16-lead MSOP package, featuring 2.5µA quiescent current in Burst Mode®, 94% efficiency at 1A/12VIN→5VOUT, and 30ns minimum on-time for high VIN/VOUT ratios - deployed in automotive infotainment power rails and industrial IoT sensor nodes requiring ultra-low standby power.
For engineers reviewing the LT8620EMSE#PBF datasheet, LT8620EMSE#PBF pinout, LT8620EMSE#PBF application, or LT8620EMSE#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 65V absolute max input rating, confirmed 0.970V feedback reference with ±9% PG threshold, validated 2.5µA no-load IQ at 12VIN→3.3VOUT, and documented thermal performance with θJA = 40°C/W in the MSE package.
Technical Context
The LT8620EMSE#PBF implements peak-current-mode control with internal compensation, enabling fast transient response and stable operation with small inductors. Its 200kHz–2.2MHz programmable switching frequency (via RT resistor) supports optimization for size vs. efficiency across wide input ranges.
Burst Mode® operation delivers ultralow 2.5µA quiescent current while maintaining <10mVP-P output ripple; synchronization via SYNC pin allows external clock alignment or pulse-skipping mode. The EN/UV pin provides accurate 1.0V threshold with 40mV hysteresis for precise undervoltage lockout or shutdown control.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.4V to 65V - supports direct connection to 48V industrial buses and automotive battery transients without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 2A continuous - sufficient for powering dual-core microcontrollers or FPGA I/O banks from single-stage conversion. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.5µA at no load (12VIN→3.3VOUT) - enables >10-year battery life in always-on remote sensors. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.970V ±0.006V - enables accurate 3.3V, 5V, or custom output regulation with 1% resistors. |
| Switching Frequency | 200kHz to 2.2MHz (RT-programmable) - allows trade-off between EMI filtering complexity and inductor size (e.g., 4.7µH at 700kHz). |
| Minimum On-Time | 30ns - supports 12V→1.0V conversion at 700kHz without duty-cycle limitation. |
| Power Good Threshold | ±9% of VFB - provides reliable system reset signaling during brown-out or startup sequencing. |
Pinout & Package
LT8620EMSE#PBF uses a 16-lead plastic MSOP package (MSE) with exposed pad (Pin 17) soldered to PCB ground for low thermal resistance (θJA = 40°C/W, θJC(PAD) = 10°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | SYNC, TR/SS, RT, EN/UV, VIN, VIN, NC, GND | SYNC accepts external clock or logic high for pulse-skipping; TR/SS controls soft-start ramp rate; RT sets switching frequency; EN/UV enables/disables with 1.0V threshold; dual VIN pins reduce IR drop; NC unconnected; GND is signal and thermal reference. |
| 9–16 | FB, PG, BIAS, INTVCC, BST, SW, SW, SW | FB senses output voltage via divider; PG signals regulation status; BIAS powers internal circuitry from VOUT ≥3.3V to reduce input current; INTVCC is internal 3.4V supply; BST drives high-side switch; three SW pins connect to inductor/boost cap with low-inductance layout priority. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultralow IQ Burst Mode® | 2.5µA input current at no load preserves battery energy in always-on systems without sacrificing output ripple (<10mVP-P). |
| Synchronous rectification | Integrated top/bottom NMOS switches (175mΩ/85mΩ) eliminate external diode losses and enable >94% efficiency at 1A. |
| Robust protection suite | Thermal shutdown, overcurrent limiting (top: 4.1A typ, bottom: 3.9A typ), and PG fault flag ensure safe operation under overload or short-circuit. |
| Flexible biasing | BIAS pin accepts VOUT ≥3.3V to source internal circuitry, reducing VIN current by up to 7.2mA and improving light-load efficiency. |
| Low-EMI design | Controlled SW edge rates, integrated bootstrap capacitor path, and silent switcher architecture minimize conducted/radiated emissions in noise-sensitive applications. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LT8620EMSE#PBF?
The LT8620EMSE#PBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 65V on the VIN pins, with guaranteed operation from 3.4V to 65V. This enables direct connection to 48V industrial buses and automotive battery systems including cold-crank conditions. Operation above 65V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings table in the official datasheet.
How does LT8620EMSE#PBF achieve 2.5µA quiescent current?
LT8620EMSE#PBF achieves 2.5µA quiescent current through patented Burst Mode® operation: during light loads, it delivers discrete energy packets to the output capacitor followed by deep sleep periods where most internal circuitry is disabled. This reduces input current to 1.7µA in sleep mode, yielding 2.5µA typical total at no load (12VIN→3.3VOUT), as verified in Figure G03 of the LT8620 datasheet.
Can LT8620EMSE#PBF be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, LT8620EMSE#PBF supports external clock synchronization via the SYNC pin. When driven with a logic-level clock signal (0.8V–1.5V thresholds), the device aligns its switching edges to the external frequency and operates in pulse-skipping mode. This feature enables EMI reduction by shifting switching noise away from sensitive frequency bands - a capability confirmed in the Pin Functions and Applications Information sections of the LT8620 documentation.
What is the purpose of the BIAS pin on LT8620EMSE#PBF?
The BIAS pin on LT8620EMSE#PBF allows the internal regulator to draw current from VOUT (when ≥3.3V) instead of VIN, reducing input supply current by up to 7.2mA. This improves light-load efficiency and lowers thermal stress on the input stage. For LT8620EMSE#PBF applications with 3.3V–25V outputs, tying BIAS to VOUT is recommended per the Applications Information section.
Does LT8620EMSE#PBF include power good indication?
Yes, LT8620EMSE#PBF includes an open-drain Power Good (PG) pin that asserts low until the FB pin voltage reaches within ±9% of the programmed output voltage and remains low during fault conditions (e.g., overcurrent or thermal shutdown). PG is valid when VIN exceeds 3.4V regardless of EN/UV state, providing reliable system monitoring for microcontroller reset sequencing in designs using LT8620EMSE#PBF.
