Product details
Overview
LT8640IUDC-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 AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive power supplies delivering stable 3.3V/5V outputs from 12VIN–36VIN sources.
For engineers reviewing the LT8640IUDC-1#TRPBF datasheet, LT8640IUDC-1#TRPBF pinout, LT8640IUDC-1#TRPBF application, or LT8640IUDC-1#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include ultralow EMI performance in automotive ECU designs, FCM-enabled fast load transient response in ADAS camera modules, and compatibility with 3MHz switching using 1µH inductors in space-constrained infotainment systems.
Technical Context
The LT8640IUDC-1#TRPBF implements peak current mode control with internal 0.97V reference and 200kHz–3MHz programmable frequency via RT resistor. Its forced continuous mode eliminates pulse skipping, enabling consistent switching during light-load transients and supporting output soft-start/tracking via TR/SS pin.
Silent Switcher architecture integrates split VIN and GND paths with internal bypass capacitors to suppress common-mode EMI; spread spectrum modulation (±22% frequency dither) further reduces radiated emissions without compromising efficiency-verified per CISPR 25 Class 5 limits in horizontal/vertical polarization tests.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.4V to 42V - supports wide automotive battery range including cold-crank (4.5V) and load-dump (40V) conditions |
| Output Current | 5A continuous, 7A peak - sustains burst loads in radar sensor power rails without dropout |
| Quiescent Current | 2.5µA at full regulation - enables >10-year battery life in always-on telematics modules |
| Min On-Time | 30ns - allows 12VIN→1.0VOUT conversion at 2MHz with high duty-cycle accuracy |
| EMI Performance | CISPR 25 Class 5 compliant - eliminates need for external EMI filters in Tier-1 automotive designs |
| Thermal Rating | –40°C to 125°C junction - qualified for under-hood engine control unit (ECU) mounting |
| Switching Frequency | 200kHz–3MHz (RT-programmable) - enables optimization between inductor size and efficiency in compact layouts |
Pinout & Package
LT8640IUDC-1#TRPBF uses an 18-lead 3mm × 4mm plastic QFN package with exposed SW pads (pins 21, 22) requiring PCB solder connection for thermal management. Pin 5 and pin 12 are omitted per JEDEC outline mismatch.
| 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 LDO output | Bypass with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor; powers gate drivers and control logic |
| BST (3) | Bootstrap voltage node | Requires 0.1µF capacitor to SW for top-FET gate drive above VIN |
| VIN1/VIN2 (4,13) | Main input power inputs | Each requires dedicated 1µF local ceramic bypass; shared bulk cap connects both |
| GND1/GND2 (6,7,10,11) | Power switch return paths | Must be tied together and connected to low-impedance ground plane for EMI suppression |
| SW (8,9,21,22) | Switch node outputs | Pins 8/9 and exposed pads 21/22 must be shorted on PCB; critical for thermal and EMI performance |
| EN/UV (14) | Enable and input UVLO input | Hysteresis of 40mV; threshold 1.00V rising enables operation above 3.4VIN |
| RT (15) | Frequency programming | Resistor to GND sets fSW: 221k = 210kHz, 60.4k = 700kHz, 18.2k = 2.0MHz |
| TR/SS (16) | Soft-start and tracking | 1.9µA internal current source enables capacitor-programmed slew rate; pulled low during fault |
| SYNC/MODE (17) | Operating mode control | Ground = Burst Mode; float = FCM; INTVCC-high = FCM + spread spectrum; driven = sync |
| GND (18) | System ground reference | Connect to system ground plane; separate from power GNDs but tied at single point |
| PG (19) | Power good indicator | Open-drain output active when FB within ±7.5% of 0.97V and VIN >3.4V |
| FB (20) | Feedback reference node | Regulated to 0.970V ±0.006V; connect divider tap and 4.7pF–22pF phase-lead cap to VOUT |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT8640S-1#TRPBF | LQFN package with side-wettable leads; identical electrical specs and FCM capability | Enhanced manufacturability for automated optical inspection (AOI) in high-volume automotive production | Select when IPC-A-610 Class 3 solder joint inspection is required |
| MPQ4420AGL-AEC1-Z | 42V/2A AEC-Q100 buck; no spread spectrum; 17µA IQ; 100ns min on-time | Limited to lower current loads; higher IQ increases battery drain in always-on systems | Select only for cost-sensitive, non-EMI-critical 2A applications where footprint matches |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LT8640IUDC-1#TRPBF?
The LT8640IUDC-1#TRPBF delivers 5A continuous output current and supports 7A peak transient current. This rating is validated over the full –40°C to 125°C junction temperature range with proper PCB thermal design-including soldering the exposed SW pads (21, 22) to a thermal plane-and using recommended input/output capacitance per the datasheet layout guidelines.
How does the SYNC/MODE pin configure forced continuous mode on the LT8640IUDC-1#TRPBF?
On the LT8640IUDC-1#TRPBF, forced continuous mode (FCM) is activated by leaving the SYNC/MODE pin (pin 17) floating-no external connection required. Internal leakage remains below 1µA, ensuring stable FCM operation. Grounding the pin enables Burst Mode for ultralow IQ, while applying 3V–4V enables FCM with spread spectrum modulation.
Does the LT8640IUDC-1#TRPBF require external compensation components?
No, the LT8640IUDC-1#TRPBF uses internal compensation and requires no external loop compensation components. Stability is ensured across all operating conditions with only the recommended feedback resistors (R1/R2) and a 4.7pF–22pF phase-lead capacitor from FB to VOUT, as specified in the datasheet's standard application circuit.
What thermal derating applies to the LT8640IUDC-1#TRPBF at 150°C ambient?
The LT8640IUDC-1#TRPBF is rated for –40°C to 125°C junction temperature. At 150°C ambient, junction temperature exceeds specification unless thermal resistance is reduced below 20°C/W (via enhanced copper area, multiple vias, and airflow). Derating curves in the datasheet show >50% output current reduction is required above 125°C case temperature to maintain reliability.
Can the LT8640IUDC-1#TRPBF be synchronized to an external clock source?
Yes, the LT8640IUDC-1#TRPBF supports external clock synchronization: drive the SYNC/MODE pin (pin 17) with a TTL/CMOS-compatible clock signal (200kHz–3MHz). During sync, the device operates in forced continuous mode with switching edges aligned to the external clock, enabling deterministic timing in multi-rail power systems.
