Product details
Overview
LT8640AJUDCM#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a 42V input, 5A continuous/8A peak synchronous step-down regulator featuring Silent Switcher architecture, 2.5µA quiescent current in regulation, 30ns minimum on-time, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive applications. It delivers high efficiency up to 96% at 1MHz (12VIN→5VOUT) and supports fixed or adjustable output configurations.
For engineers reviewing the LT8640AJUDCM#TRPBF datasheet, LT8640AJUDCM#TRPBF pinout, LT8640AJUDCM#TRPBF application, or LT8640AJUDCM#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package mapping, validated pin functions, confirmed EMI performance data, and real-world design implications for automotive power systems, industrial DC-DC conversion, and low-IQ battery-powered subsystems.
Technical Context
The LT8640AJUDCM#TRPBF implements peak current mode control with internal compensation, enabling stable operation across 200kHz–3MHz via RT resistor programming. Its dual-input/dual-ground pin structure (VIN1/VIN2, GND1/GND2) minimizes high-di/dt loop area to suppress conducted EMI-validated by CISPR25 Class 5 peak limits in both fixed-frequency and spread-spectrum modes.
It integrates synchronous NMOS switches (67mΩ top / 28mΩ bottom), supports four operating modes via SYNC/MODE pin (Burst Mode, FCM, spread spectrum, external sync), and features ultralow dropout (100mV @1A) with safe reverse-current tolerance-critical for automotive cold-crank and load-dump resilience.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.4V to 42V - supports automotive battery transients including cold-crank (down to ~3.4V) and ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a (up to 42V). |
| Output Current | 5A continuous / 8A peak - enables single-chip 5V/5A rail for ADAS camera modules or infotainment processors without external current boosting. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.5µA @ full regulation - sustains >10-year battery life in always-on vehicle telematics or remote keyless entry receivers. |
| Switching Frequency | 200kHz to 3MHz - allows compact magnetics (e.g., 1µH at 3MHz); frequency foldback prevents inductor saturation during start-up or overcurrent. |
| EMI Performance | CISPR25 Class 5 compliant - meets stringent automotive radiated/conducted emission limits without external ferrite beads or shielding cans. |
| Thermal Rating | –40°C to +150°C junction - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1; exposed SW pad improves thermal resistance (θJA = 29°C/W on demo board). |
| Feedback Reference | 0.970V ±0.006V - enables precise output regulation; line/load regulation <±0.02%/V and <±0.15% over full load range. |
Pinout & Package
LT8640AJUDCM#TRPBF uses an 18-lead 3mm × 4mm side-solderable QFN (UDCM package) with exposed SW pad (Pin 21) requiring PCB solder connection for thermal and electrical integrity. Pins 5 and 12 are omitted; corner pins serve mechanical support only.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BIAS (1) | Internal regulator bias supply | Reduces VIN current draw when tied to VOUT ≥3.1V; enables >95% efficiency at light loads in automotive 12V systems. |
| INTVCC (2) | Internal 3.4V regulator bypass | Must be decoupled with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor; powers control logic and gate drivers-no external loading permitted. |
| BST (3) | Bootstrap voltage supply | Drives top NMOS gate above VIN; requires 0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to IC for reliable high-side switching. |
| VIN1 (4), VIN2 (13) | Dual input power inputs | Split inputs reduce high-frequency input ripple; each requires dedicated 1µF local bypass to respective GND1/GND2 for EMI suppression. |
| GND1 (6,7), GND2 (10,11) | Power switch return paths | Independent ground returns isolate high-di/dt currents; must be tied together and connected to solid ground plane under IC. |
| SW (8,9,21) | Switch node outputs | Pins 8/9 are internal switch outputs; Pin 21 is exposed pad tied to SW-must be soldered to PCB for thermal conduction and low-inductance path. |
| EN/UV (14) | Enable and undervoltage lockout | Hysteretic threshold (1.00V rise / 0.96V fall) enables programmable input UVLO using external resistor divider from VIN. |
| RT (15) | Frequency setting resistor | Resistor to GND sets fSW: 221kΩ → 210kHz, 60.4kΩ → 700kHz, 18.2kΩ → 1.95MHz-enables optimization for size vs. efficiency. |
| TR/SS (16) | Soft-start and tracking control | 1.9µA internal pull-up enables capacitor-programmed slew rate; supports output voltage tracking in multi-rail systems. |
| SYNC/MODE (17) | Operating mode selection | Ground = Burst Mode (2.5µA IQ); float = FCM; INTVCC-high = spread spectrum; external clock = sync-no external components needed. |
| GND (18) | System ground reference | Connects to system ground plane; separates signal ground from power grounds (GND1/GND2) to minimize noise coupling. |
| PG (19) | Power good open-drain output | Asserts high when FB/VOUT is within ±8% of target and no fault exists; valid above 3.4V VIN regardless of EN/UV state. |
| FB (20) | Feedback voltage sense | Regulates to 0.970V; connects to resistor divider tap-requires 4.7–22pF phase-lead capacitor between FB and VOUT for stability. |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LT8640AJUDCM#TRPBF?
The LT8640AJUDCM#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 42V across VIN1 and VIN2 pins. This rating enables direct connection to 24V and 48V industrial buses and automotive battery systems-including transient conditions defined in ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a. Operation above 3.4V is required for startup, and the device maintains regulation down to 2.9V minimum input under specific conditions.
Does the LT8640AJUDCM#TRPBF support fixed-output voltage configurations?
Yes, the LT8640AJUDCM#TRPBF itself is the adjustable version, but its family includes the LT8640AJUDCM-3.3#TRPBF variant with a factory-trimmed 3.3V fixed output. The LT8640AJUDCM#TRPBF uses the FB pin and external resistor divider to set output voltage; its feedback reference is precisely 0.970V with ±0.006V tolerance over temperature.
How does the SYNC/MODE pin configure operating modes on the LT8640AJUDCM#TRPBF?
The SYNC/MODE pin on the LT8640AJUDCM#TRPBF selects four distinct modes: grounded for Burst Mode (2.5µA IQ), floating for Forced Continuous Mode (FCM), tied to INTVCC (~3.4V) for spread spectrum FCM, or driven by external clock for synchronization. Each mode alters switching behavior without external components-enabling dynamic trade-offs between efficiency, EMI, and transient response.
What thermal performance can be expected from the LT8640AJUDCM#TRPBF in a typical layout?
On the DC3099A demo board, the LT8640AJUDCM#TRPBF achieves θJA = 29°C/W and ψJT = 0.5°C/W. With proper PCB design-including soldering the exposed SW pad (Pin 21) to a thermal plane-the device sustains 5A continuous output at +85°C ambient. Derating begins above 125°C junction temperature per AEC-Q100 lifetime requirements.
Is the LT8640AJUDCM#TRPBF compatible with spread spectrum EMI reduction?
Yes, the LT8640AJUDCM#TRPBF supports spread spectrum modulation with ±22% triangular frequency dither when the SYNC/MODE pin is tied to INTVCC (~3.4V) or a 3V–4V external supply. This feature reduces peak radiated emissions by >10dB across 150kHz–108MHz and is validated to meet CISPR25 Class 5 limits without additional filtering components.
