Product details
Overview
LT8640EUDCF-1#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a 42V, 5A synchronous step-down Silent Switcher regulator with forced continuous mode (FCM), 2.5µA quiescent current in regulation, 30ns minimum on-time, and side-wettable 18-lead QFN (3mm × 4mm) package. It delivers up to 96% efficiency at 1MHz (12VIN→5VOUT) and supports automotive-grade operation from –40°C to 125°C.
For engineers reviewing the LT8640EUDCF-1#TRPBF datasheet, LT8640EUDCF-1#TRPBF pinout, LT8640EUDCF-1#TRPBF application, or LT8640EUDCF-1#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include ultralow EMI performance, FCM for fast transient response, spread spectrum capability, input voltage range (3.4V–42V), and AEC-Q100-compliant thermal robustness.
Technical Context
The LT8640EUDCF-1#TRPBF implements peak current mode control with an internal 0.970V reference and programmable switching frequency (200kHz–3MHz via RT resistor). Its Silent Switcher architecture uses integrated bypass capacitors and symmetrical layout to suppress radiated EMI without external filters.
Unlike the LT8640, the LT8640-1 variant (including LT8640EUDCF-1#TRPBF) defaults to forced continuous mode when SYNC/MODE is floating, enabling negative inductor current and improved load-step response. It disables FCM only above 35V VIN or when FB rises >9.5% above reference.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.4V to 42V - supports wide industrial and automotive battery inputs including cold-crank and load-dump conditions. |
| Output Current | 5A continuous, 7A peak - sustains high transient loads without dropout or thermal shutdown. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.5µA at full regulation - enables always-on systems (e.g., telematics, ADAS sensors) with multi-year battery life. |
| Min. On-Time | 30ns - enables high-frequency, high-VIN-to-low-VOUT conversion (e.g., 42V→3.3V at 2MHz). |
| EMI Performance | CISPR 25 Class 5 compliant - meets stringent automotive radiated/conducted EMI limits without ferrite beads or shielding. |
| Thermal Rating | –40°C to 125°C junction - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade E, suitable for under-hood and infotainment applications. |
| Switching Frequency | 200kHz to 3MHz (RT-programmable) - allows optimization of size (high-freq) vs. efficiency (low-freq) and avoids AM band interference. |
Pinout & Package
LT8640EUDCF-1#TRPBF uses an 18-lead, 3mm × 4mm plastic side-wettable QFN package (LHGX marking) with exposed SW pads (pins 21, 22) for enhanced thermal dissipation and solder-joint inspection.
| 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 power rail | Bypass with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor; powers control logic and gate drivers - not for external loading. |
| BST (3) | Bootstrap capacitor node | Requires 0.1µF ceramic cap between BST and SW to drive high-side NMOS gate above VIN. |
| VIN1 (4), VIN2 (13) | Main input power inputs | Each requires dedicated 1µF local ceramic bypass; shared bulk input cap connects to both. |
| GND1 (6,7), GND2 (10,11), GND (18) | Power and signal ground returns | Must be tied together and connected to low-impedance PCB ground plane; critical for EMI and thermal performance. |
| SW (8,9,21,22) | Switch node outputs | High-current path connecting internal MOSFETs to inductor and BST cap; exposed pads (21,22) must be soldered to SW copper for thermal integrity. |
| EN/UV (14) | Enable and input undervoltage lockout | Hysteretic threshold (0.96V/1.00V) enables programmable VIN start-up and brownout protection. |
| RT (15) | Frequency programming | Resistor to GND sets switching frequency (e.g., 60.4kΩ = ~2MHz); determines inductor size and efficiency trade-off. |
| TR/SS (16) | Soft-start and output tracking | Capacitor here controls VOUT ramp rate; also accepts external voltage for power sequencing with other rails. |
| SYNC/MODE (17) | Operating mode selection | Floating = FCM; grounded = Burst Mode; 3–4V = spread spectrum + FCM; driven clock = external sync - no pulse-skipping (LT8640-only feature). |
| PG (19) | Power good indicator | Open-drain output asserts high when VOUT is within ±8% of regulation and no fault exists - used for system power sequencing. |
| FB (20) | Feedback reference node | Regulated to 0.970V; resistor divider from VOUT sets output voltage; 4.7pF–22pF phase-lead cap improves stability. |
Key Features

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT8640EUDC-1#TRPBF | Same electrical specs but standard QFN (not side-wettable); θJA = 40°C/W vs. 35°C/W for UDCF. | Lacks AOI-capable leads; less suitable for high-reliability automotive SMT lines requiring solder-joint verification. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs manufacturability requirements and thermal margin is sufficient. |
| MPQ4433AGL-AEC1-Z | 40V, 3.5A, 17µA IQ; no spread spectrum; smaller 3x4mm QFN but no side-wettable option. | Higher IQ limits always-on runtime; lacks Silent Switcher EMI suppression - requires external filtering for automotive EMI compliance. | Select for non-AEC-Q100 industrial applications where size and cost are prioritized over EMI and ultra-low IQ. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LT8640EUDCF-1#TRPBF?
The LT8640EUDCF-1#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 42V across VIN1 and VIN2 pins. Its operational input range is specified from 3.4V to 42V, making it suitable for 24V and 36V automotive and industrial bus systems, including cold-crank and load-dump transients. Exceeding 42V may cause permanent damage.
Does the LT8640EUDCF-1#TRPBF support spread spectrum modulation, and how is it enabled?
Yes, the LT8640EUDCF-1#TRPBF supports spread spectrum modulation to reduce peak EMI emissions. It is enabled by applying a DC voltage of 3V to 4V to the SYNC/MODE pin (pin 17), which activates ±20% triangular frequency dithering around the RT-set switching frequency. This feature operates concurrently with forced continuous mode.
How does the LT8640EUDCF-1#TRPBF differ from the LT8640EUDCF#TRPBF in terms of operating mode?
The LT8640EUDCF-1#TRPBF defaults to forced continuous mode (FCM) when SYNC/MODE is floating, enabling negative inductor current and fast transient response. In contrast, the LT8640EUDCF#TRPBF (non-"-1") defaults to pulse-skipping mode under the same condition, which improves light-load efficiency but sacrifices transient performance.
What is the purpose of the side-wettable leads on the LT8640EUDCF-1#TRPBF package?
The side-wettable leads on the LT8640EUDCF-1#TRPBF's QFN package enable automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder fillets during SMT assembly. This improves process control and field reliability in automotive manufacturing, where zero-defect solder joints are required per IATF 16949, without increasing PCB footprint or thermal resistance.
Can the LT8640EUDCF-1#TRPBF be synchronized to an external clock, and what are the voltage requirements?
Yes, the LT8640EUDCF-1#TRPBF can be synchronized to an external clock applied to the SYNC/MODE pin. The clock must meet TTL/CMOS logic thresholds: low level ≤0.9V, high level ≥2.3V, with 50% duty cycle and frequency matching the RT-programmed range (200kHz–3MHz). During sync, the device operates in forced continuous mode.
