Product details
Overview
LT8620IMSE#TRPBF 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 LT8620IMSE#TRPBF datasheet, LT8620IMSE#TRPBF pinout, LT8620IMSE#TRPBF application, or LT8620IMSE#TRPBF 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 30ns min on-time enabling 48V-to-3.3V conversion at 700kHz without duty-cycle limitation.
Technical Context
The LT8620IMSE#TRPBF 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 EMI optimization and size reduction across wide input ranges.
It integrates top/bottom NMOS power switches (175mΩ/85mΩ typical RDS(ON)), supports BIAS pin operation for improved light-load efficiency when VOUT ≥ 3.3V, and features low-EMI Silent Switcher®-compatible layout with integrated BST capacitor path and exposed GND pad for thermal management.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.4V to 65V - enables direct connection to 48V industrial buses or automotive battery without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 2A continuous - supports single-rail powering of microcontrollers, FPGAs, or RF transceivers. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.5µA at 12VIN→3.3VOUT - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes beyond 10 years. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.970V ±0.006V - enables precise output regulation with 1% resistors; sets accuracy floor for VOUT programming. |
| Min On-Time | 30ns - allows 48V-to-3.3V conversion at 700kHz (D ≈ 5%) without pulse-skipping or instability. |
| PG Threshold Accuracy | ±9% of VFB - provides reliable power-good signaling for system sequencing in automotive ECUs. |
| Switching Frequency Range | 200kHz to 2.2MHz - permits EMI band avoidance and compact magnetics selection (e.g., 4.7µH at 700kHz). |
Pinout & Package
LT8620IMSE#TRPBF uses a 16-lead MSOP package (MSE) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 17 = GND). The package has θJA = 40°C/W and requires soldering of the exposed pad to PCB ground plane for thermal integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BST | Bootstrap Supply | Drives top NMOS gate above VIN; requires 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to SW for proper high-side switching. |
| VIN | Main Input Power | Supplies internal circuitry and top switch; dual pins (1,2) must be shorted and locally bypassed with ≥1µF ceramic. |
| EN/UV | Enable / UVLO Input | 1.0V rising threshold enables shutdown or programmable input undervoltage lockout (e.g., 8V cutoff via resistor divider). |
| PG | Power-Good Flag | Open-drain output asserting low when VOUT deviates >±9% from target or fault occurs; valid above 3.4V VIN. |
| SYNC | Frequency Synchronization | Accepts external clock (200kHz–2.2MHz) or DC high for pulse-skipping; grounded for low-ripple Burst Mode®. |
| TR/SS | Soft-Start / Tracking | Controls output ramp rate via capacitor; also enables voltage tracking during sequencing with external supply. |
| RT | Frequency Set Resistor | Resistor to GND programs switching frequency (e.g., 60.4kΩ → 700kHz); enables EMI tuning and layout optimization. |
| FB | Feedback Input | Senses output via resistor divider; regulated to 0.970V; requires 4.7–10pF phase-lead cap to VOUT for stability. |
| SW | Switch Node | Connects to inductor and BST cap; high di/dt node requiring minimized trace area and tight coupling to GND. |
| INTVCC | Internal Regulator Bypass | 3.4V internal rail; bypass with ≥1µF ceramic to PGND; supplies control logic and drivers; sourced from BIAS if >3.1V. |
| BIAS | Efficiency Boost Supply | When tied to VOUT ≥3.3V, reduces VIN current draw and improves light-load efficiency; bypass required if externally supplied. |
| GND | Power Ground | Reference for all signals; exposed pad (Pin 17) must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultralow Quiescent Current | 2.5µA IQ in regulation enables >10-year battery life in always-on automotive telematics modules. |

| Fast Minimum On-Time | 30ns on-time supports high-step-down ratios (e.g., 48V→3.3V) at 700kHz without cycle skipping or instability. |
| Integrated Power Switches | 175mΩ top / 85mΩ bottom NMOS reduce conduction loss and eliminate external MOSFET selection and layout complexity. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT8640SIV#PBF | Higher 4A output, 3.4V–65V input, 2.5µA IQ, but 20-lead QFN only; no MSOP option. | Requires PCB redesign due to different package (QFN vs MSOP) and pinout; larger solution size. | Select when >2A output or lower thermal resistance is required; not drop-in for LT8620IMSE#TRPBF footprint. |
| TPS54260DGQR | 3.5V–60V input, 2.5A, 145µA IQ (Burst Mode), no BIAS pin, 100ns min on-time. | Lacks ultralow IQ and fast min on-time; unsuitable for 48V→3.3V at high frequency or battery-critical apps. | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial supplies where 145µA IQ is acceptable and 48V→3.3V conversion is not required. |
Compared with LT8640SIV#PBF and TPS54260DGQR, the LT8620IMSE#TRPBF uniquely balances 2A capability, 2.5µA IQ, 30ns min on-time, and MSOP packaging - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-backed, or high-VIN/VOUT-ratio applications where alternatives compromise on at least two of these parameters.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LT8620IMSE#TRPBF?
The LT8620IMSE#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 65V on the VIN pins, with guaranteed operation from 3.4V to 65V. This allows direct interface with 48V industrial buses and automotive battery systems including load-dump transients. Exceeding 65V may cause permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
How does the LT8620IMSE#TRPBF achieve 2.5µA quiescent current?
The LT8620IMSE#TRPBF achieves 2.5µA quiescent current through optimized Burst Mode® operation that shuts down all switching and control circuitry between energy bursts, reducing input current to 1.7µA in deep sleep. Combined with minimal feedback divider current (e.g., 1MΩ/412kΩ), the total no-load IQ reaches 2.5µA at 12VIN→3.3VOUT.
Can the LT8620IMSE#TRPBF operate with a 48V input and 3.3V output at 700kHz?
Yes - the LT8620IMSE#TRPBF supports 48V→3.3V conversion at 700kHz using its 30ns minimum on-time, which enables ~5% duty cycle without pulse-skipping. Verified in Typical Performance Characteristics (Figure G18), this operation maintains regulation and efficiency >85% at light loads with proper inductor (e.g., 4.7µH) and layout.
What is the function of the BIAS pin on the LT8620IMSE#TRPBF?
The BIAS pin on the LT8620IMSE#TRPBF supplies current to internal regulators when tied to VOUT ≥3.3V, reducing VIN current draw and improving light-load efficiency. If unused, it must be tied to GND. When active, it lowers INTVCC sourcing burden from VIN, enabling higher overall efficiency in 3.3V–25V output applications.
Is the LT8620IMSE#TRPBF pin-compatible with other LT86xx devices?
No - the LT8620IMSE#TRPBF has a unique 16-pin MSOP pinout distinct from LT8640S (20-pin QFN) or LT8610 (16-pin MSOP but different pin assignments). Pin compatibility is not claimed in the datasheet; PCB layout must be designed specifically for LT8620IMSE#TRPBF's pin configuration shown in Figure TA01a.
