Product details
Overview
LT8620IUDD#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 65V input, 2A synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator in a 24-lead 3mm × 5mm QFN package with exposed GND pad. It delivers up to 2A output current, achieves 94% efficiency at 12VIN to 5VOUT, operates with only 2.5µA quiescent current in Burst Mode®, and supports adjustable switching frequency from 200kHz to 2.2MHz. It is used in automotive infotainment power supplies where wide VIN range and ultralow IQ are critical.
For engineers reviewing the LT8620IUDD#PBF datasheet, LT8620IUDD#PBF pinout, LT8620IUDD#PBF application, or LT8620IUDD#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 65V absolute max input rating, ±9% power-good accuracy, 30ns minimum on-time for high step-down ratios, internal compensation for fast transient response, and BIAS pin support for improved light-load efficiency when VOUT ≥ 3.3V.
Technical Context
The LT8620IUDD#PBF implements peak-current-mode control with internal compensation, enabling stable operation with small external inductors (e.g., 4.7µH) and fast load-transient response. Its architecture integrates top and bottom NMOS power switches (175mΩ / 85mΩ typical RDS(ON)), a 0.970V precision feedback reference, and programmable soft-start via TR/SS pin.
Burst Mode® operation maintains <10mVP-P output ripple while drawing just 2.5µA from VIN at no load; 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 VIN undervoltage lockout or shutdown, reducing supply current to 1µA.

Pinout & Package
LT8620IUDD#PBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 24-lead 3mm × 5mm plastic QFN package (UDD) with exposed GND pad (Pin 25), requiring soldering to PCB for θJC(PAD) = 5°C/W thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1–4, 11–12, 14–16, 20–24 | No Connect (NC) | Internally unconnected; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines. |
| 5–6, 13 | VIN | Main input power pins - must be shorted together and bypassed locally with low-ESR ceramic capacitor. |
| 7 | GND | Analog ground reference - connects to exposed pad (Pin 25); forms primary thermal path. |
| 8 | FB | Feedback node - regulates voltage by comparing divider output to 0.970V internal reference. |
| 9 | PG | Open-drain power-good flag - asserts high when VOUT is within ±9% of target and no fault exists. |
| 10 | BIAS | Efficiency-boosting bias supply - connect to VOUT ≥ 3.3V to reduce VIN current draw during light loads. |
| 17 | INTVCC | Internal 3.4V regulator output - bypass with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor; not for external loading. |
| 18 | BST | Bootstrap supply for high-side switch - requires 0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to IC. |
| 19, 25 | SW | Switch node - connects to inductor and BST capacitor; must be minimized in PCB area for low EMI. |
| 26 | GND (exposed pad) | Thermal and electrical ground - mandatory solder connection to PCB plane for thermal integrity. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LT8620IUDD#PBF?
The LT8620IUDD#PBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 65V, with guaranteed operation from 3.4V to 65V. This enables direct connection to 48V industrial buses and survival through automotive load-dump transients (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a). The LT8620IUDD#PBF incorporates internal protection to prevent damage at 65V, but sustained operation above 60V requires careful thermal design due to increased power dissipation in the integrated MOSFETs.
How does the BIAS pin improve efficiency in the LT8620IUDD#PBF?
The BIAS pin on the LT8620IUDD#PBF allows the internal regulator to draw bias current from VOUT instead of VIN when VBIAS ≥ 3.1V, reducing total input current and improving light-load efficiency. When connected to a 3.3V or 5V output, the LT8620IUDD#PBF draws ~7.2mA from BIAS at 1A load instead of from VIN, lowering overall system power loss. This feature is especially valuable in multi-rail systems where the LT8620IUDD#PBF output powers downstream regulators that can feed back to BIAS.
Can the LT8620IUDD#PBF achieve 5V output from a 5.5V input?
Yes, the LT8620IUDD#PBF supports low-dropout operation with only 250mV dropout at 1A, enabling stable 5V output from a 5.5V input. This is achieved through its low RDS(ON) top switch (175mΩ typ) and ability to operate at very high duty cycles (>95%). In such configurations, the LT8620IUDD#PBF automatically reduces switching frequency via frequency foldback to maintain control, ensuring regulation even under near-dropout conditions without requiring external components.
What is the purpose of the TR/SS pin on the LT8620IUDD#PBF?
The TR/SS (Track/Soft-Start) pin on the LT8620IUDD#PBF serves two functions: it programs output voltage ramp rate during startup via an external capacitor, and enables output voltage tracking for sequencing with other rails. When a capacitor is connected from TR/SS to GND, the internal 2µA current source creates a linear voltage ramp, controlling dVOUT/dt. During normal operation, TR/SS > 0.97V disables tracking and reverts to standard regulation. This dual functionality makes the LT8620IUDD#PBF suitable for complex power-up sequences in FPGAs and multicore processors.
Does the LT8620IUDD#PBF require external compensation components?
No, the LT8620IUDD#PBF features fully internal compensation using peak-current-mode control, eliminating the need for external Type II or Type III compensation networks. This simplifies design, reduces BOM count, and improves consistency across production units. The internal compensation is optimized for stability with standard 4.7µH inductors and ceramic output capacitors, enabling fast transient response (<50µs recovery for 1A load step) without user tuning - a key advantage over voltage-mode controllers requiring manual loop compensation.
