Product details
Overview
LT8640AJUDCM-3.3#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a 42V input, 3.3V fixed-output synchronous step-down regulator with Silent Switcher architecture, 2.5µA quiescent current in regulation, 30ns minimum on-time, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive power supplies delivering up to 5A continuous / 8A peak output.
For engineers reviewing the LT8640AJUDCM-3.3#TRPBF datasheet, LT8640AJUDCM-3.3#TRPBF pinout, LT8640AJUDCM-3.3#TRPBF application, or LT8640AJUDCM-3.3#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include ultralow EMI performance, forced continuous mode support, spread spectrum modulation, thermal robustness to 150°C junction, and compatibility with high-frequency (up to 3MHz) compact designs using 3mm × 4mm QFN.
Technical Context
The LT8640AJUDCM-3.3#TRPBF implements peak current mode control with internal 0.97V reference (mapped to 3.3V via fixed resistor divider), frequency programmable from 200kHz to 3MHz via RT pin, and four selectable operating modes-Burst Mode, Forced Continuous Mode (FCM), Spread Spectrum, and external synchronization-via the SYNC/MODE pin.
It integrates top and bottom NMOS power switches (67mΩ/28mΩ typical RDS(ON)), supports BIAS pin operation for efficiency optimization at VOUT ≥ 3.3V, and features active soft-start/tracking via TR/SS pin with 1.9µA internal pull-up current and fault-safe 200Ω pulldown during shutdown.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.4V to 42V - enables direct battery-fed automotive and industrial supply rails without pre-regulation |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±1.5% - eliminates external feedback resistors and simplifies layout for noise-sensitive digital logic supplies |
| Continuous Output Current | 5A - sufficient for powering multiple microcontrollers, FPGAs, or sensor clusters from single rail |
| Quiescent Current | 2.5µA at 12VIN → 3.3VOUT - extends battery life in always-on automotive modules and IoT edge nodes |
| Switching Frequency | 200kHz–3MHz (RT-programmable) - allows trade-off between inductor size and efficiency across wide load range |
| Minimum On-Time | 30ns - supports high VIN-to-VOUT conversion ratios (e.g., 24V→3.3V) at 2MHz+ switching without pulse-skipping instability |
| EMI Performance | CISPR 25 Class 5 compliant in spread spectrum mode - meets stringent automotive radiated/conducted emission requirements without shielding |
| Junction Temp Range | –40°C to +150°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1, enabling under-hood deployment in engine control units |
Pinout & Package
LT8640AJUDCM-3.3#TRPBF uses an 18-lead 3mm × 4mm plastic side-solderable QFN package (UDCM) with exposed SW pad (Pin 21) for thermal enhancement. Pins 5 and 12 are omitted; corner pins serve mechanical support only.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BIAS (1) | Internal regulator bias supply | Connect to VOUT (3.3V) to reduce VIN current draw and improve light-load efficiency |
| INTVCC (2) | Internal 3.4V regulator bypass | Requires ≥1µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to GND; powers control circuitry and drivers |
| BST (3) | Bootstrap gate drive supply | 0.1µF capacitor between BST and SW provides high-side NMOS gate voltage boost |
| VIN1 (4), VIN2 (13) | Main input power inputs | Each requires dedicated 1µF ceramic bypass to respective GND1/GND2; minimizes high-di/dt loop area |
| GND1 (6,7), GND2 (10,11) | Power switch return paths | Must be tied together and connected to solid ground plane; critical for EMI and thermal performance |
| SW (8,9,21) | Switch node outputs | Pins 8/9 are signal SW; Pin 21 is exposed pad soldered to SW trace - primary thermal path and high-current return |
| EN/UV (14) | Enable and undervoltage lockout | 1.00V rising threshold with 40mV hysteresis - enables input brownout protection and controlled startup |
| RT (15) | Frequency programming | Resistor to GND sets oscillator frequency (e.g., 60.4kΩ = ~700kHz); determines inductor sizing and ripple |
| TR/SS (16) | Soft-start and tracking | 1.9µA internal current charges external capacitor to control VOUT ramp rate; disables tracking above 0.97V |
| SYNC/MODE (17) | Operating mode selection | GND = Burst Mode; float = FCM; INTVCC = spread spectrum; external clock = sync - no external components needed |
| GND (18) | System ground reference | Connect directly to PCB ground plane; separates signal ground from power ground return paths |
| PG (19) | Power good open-drain output | Asserts high when VOUT is within ±7.5% of 3.3V and no fault - used for system sequencing and monitoring |
| VOUT (20) | Fixed 3.3V regulated output | Internally connected to 11.33MΩ feedback divider - no external resistors required for 3.3V configuration |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT8645S-3.3#TRPBF | 6A continuous / 10A peak output, same 3.3V fixed option, identical pinout and package, but higher current capability and improved thermal resistance (θJA = 26°C/W vs 29°C/W) | Required where sustained >5A loads exist (e.g., multi-core processors), or where lower thermal rise is critical in sealed enclosures | Select LT8645S-3.3#TRPBF when output current headroom or thermal margin exceeds 5A/8A limits of LT8640AJUDCM-3.3#TRPBF |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the LT8640AJUDCM-3.3#TRPBF?
The LT8640AJUDCM-3.3#TRPBF delivers up to 5A continuous output current at 3.3V with proper PCB layout and thermal management. Its peak transient capability reaches 8A for short durations, supporting dynamic loads such as microcontroller wake-up bursts or sensor initialization sequences. Derating applies above 100°C ambient or with insufficient copper area on the SW-exposed pad.
Does the LT8640AJUDCM-3.3#TRPBF require external feedback resistors?
No, the LT8640AJUDCM-3.3#TRPBF does not require external feedback resistors. It integrates an internal 11.33MΩ resistor divider that fixes the output to 3.3V, connecting directly to the VOUT pin (Pin 20). This eliminates component count, layout sensitivity, and tolerance drift associated with external resistor networks - a key advantage over adjustable variants like the LT8640A.
How does the LT8640AJUDCM-3.3#TRPBF achieve ultralow EMI performance?
The LT8640AJUDCM-3.3#TRPBF achieves ultralow EMI through Analog Devices' patented Silent Switcher architecture, which employs symmetrical internal power switch layouts and integrated bootstrap capacitors to cancel magnetic fields. Combined with optional spread spectrum modulation (enabled via SYNC/MODE pin), it meets CISPR 25 Class 5 conducted and radiated emission limits without external shielding or ferrite beads - verified on the DC3099A demo board.
Can the LT8640AJUDCM-3.3#TRPBF operate in forced continuous mode (FCM)?
Yes, the LT8640AJUDCM-3.3#TRPBF supports forced continuous mode (FCM) by leaving the SYNC/MODE pin floating. In FCM, the regulator maintains constant switching frequency across all load conditions, eliminating low-frequency output ripple and improving transient response - critical for powering real-time microcontrollers, ADCs, and communication interfaces without output voltage droop.
What is the purpose of the BIAS pin on the LT8640AJUDCM-3.3#TRPBF?
The BIAS pin (Pin 1) on the LT8640AJUDCM-3.3#TRPBF supplies current to the internal 3.4V regulator, reducing VIN current draw and improving light-load efficiency. For the 3.3V output version, BIAS must be connected to VOUT. This configuration lowers total input quiescent current to 2.5µA - essential for battery-powered automotive modules and always-on IoT edge devices.
