Product details
Overview
LT8640JUDCF-1#WTRPBF 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 Grade J (–40°C to 150°C) qualification for automotive power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LT8640JUDCF-1#WTRPBF datasheet, LT8640JUDCF-1#WTRPBF pinout, LT8640JUDCF-1#WTRPBF application, or LT8640JUDCF-1#WTRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include ultralow EMI performance, spread spectrum capability, FCM transient response, thermal robustness up to 150°C junction, and side-wettable QFN package for automated optical inspection.
Technical Context
The LT8640JUDCF-1#WTRPBF implements peak current mode control with internal 0.97V reference and 200kHz–3MHz programmable switching frequency via RT resistor. Its Silent Switcher architecture uses integrated input capacitors and symmetrical layout to suppress common-mode EMI.
Unlike the LT8640, this variant fixes forced continuous mode (FCM) operation when SYNC/MODE is floating-enabling negative inductor current, fast load-step response, and stable light-load behavior without pulse skipping. It supports BIAS pin supply from VOUT ≥3.3V to reduce VIN current and improve efficiency.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.4V to 42V - supports wide automotive battery transients including cold-crank (4.5V) and load-dump (40V+) |
| Output Current | 5A continuous, 7A peak - sustains high-current bursts without thermal shutdown under proper PCB layout |
| Quiescent Current | 2.5µA at 12VIN→3.3VOUT - enables >10-year battery life in always-on automotive modules |
| Min On-Time | 30ns - enables high-frequency, high-VIN-to-low-VOUT conversion (e.g., 24V→1.2V @ 2MHz) |
| EMI Performance | CISPR 25 Class 5 compliant with filter - meets stringent automotive radiated/conducted emission limits without shielding |
| Thermal Rating | J-grade: –40°C to 150°C TJ - qualified for under-hood applications with no derating up to 125°C ambient |
| Package | 18-lead 3mm × 4mm side-wettable QFN - enables AOI-compatible solder joint inspection and enhanced thermal transfer via exposed SW pads |
Pinout & Package
LT8640JUDCF-1#WTRPBF uses an 18-lead, 3mm × 4mm plastic side-wettable QFN package with exposed SW pads (pins 21, 22) for thermal and electrical connection to the switch node. Pin 5 and pin 12 are omitted per JEDEC outline deviation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BIAS (1) | Internal regulator auxiliary supply | Accepts 3.3V–25V input to power INTVCC; reduces VIN current and improves light-load efficiency when tied to VOUT |
| INTVCC (2) | Internal 3.4V regulator output | Bypassed with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor; powers gate drivers and control logic; not for external loading |
| BST (3) | Bootstrap supply for top MOSFET gate | Requires 0.1µF ceramic capacitor between BST and SW; enables high-side NMOS drive above VIN |
| VIN1 (4), VIN2 (13) | Dual input power inputs | Each requires dedicated 1µF local bypass; shared bulk cap connects to both-reduces high-frequency loop area and EMI |
| GND1 (6,7), GND2 (10,11) | Power switch return paths | Must be shorted together and connected to low-impedance ground plane; critical for EMI and thermal performance |
| SW (8,9,21,22) | Switch node outputs | Pins 8/9 are signal SW; pins 21/22 are exposed thermal pads soldered directly to SW copper-lowers θJC to 12°C/W |
| EN/UV (14) | Enable and input undervoltage lockout | Hysteretic threshold (0.96V/1.00V) allows programmable VIN start-up using resistor divider |
| RT (15) | Oscillator frequency programming | Resistor to GND sets fSW from 200kHz to 3MHz; tolerance and tempco directly impact regulation accuracy |
| TR/SS (16) | Soft-start and output tracking | 1.9µA internal current source enables controlled VOUT ramp; voltage <0.97V forces FB = TR/SS for sequencing |
| SYNC/MODE (17) | Operating mode selection | Floating = FCM; grounded = Burst Mode; 3–4V = spread spectrum + FCM; driven clock = external sync + FCM |
| GND (18) | System ground reference | Connects to system ground plane; separates signal ground from power ground paths in multi-layer layouts |
| PG (19) | Power good open-drain output | Asserts high when FB is within ±8% of 0.97V and VIN >3.4V; pulls down with 2kΩ typical resistance |
| FB (20) | Feedback voltage sense | Regulated to 0.970V ±0.006V; requires 4.7–22pF phase-lead capacitor from FB to VOUT for stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for LT8640JUDCF-1#WTRPBF?
The LT8640JUDCF-1#WTRPBF is AEC-Q100 Grade J qualified with a guaranteed operating junction temperature range of –40°C to 150°C. This rating is validated through accelerated lifetime testing and thermal characterization, enabling use in under-hood automotive applications without derating up to 125°C ambient temperature when properly mounted on a 2oz copper PCB with thermal vias.
How does LT8640JUDCF-1#WTRPBF differ from LT8640JUDCF#WTRPBF in operating mode?
The LT8640JUDCF-1#WTRPBF defaults to forced continuous mode (FCM) when SYNC/MODE is floating, allowing negative inductor current and fast transient response. In contrast, LT8640JUDCF#WTRPBF enters pulse-skipping mode under the same condition-resulting in variable frequency and higher output ripple at light loads. Both support Burst Mode (SYNC/MODE = GND) and spread spectrum (SYNC/MODE = 3–4V).
Can LT8640JUDCF-1#WTRPBF synchronize to an external clock, and what is the required signal format?
Yes, LT8640JUDCF-1#WTRPBF supports external clock synchronization via the SYNC/MODE pin. The input must be a CMOS-level square wave with rail-to-rail swing (0V to >2.3V), 50% ±10% duty cycle, and frequency between 200kHz and 3MHz. During sync, the device operates in forced continuous mode with switching edges aligned to the rising edge of the external clock.
What is the purpose of the side-wettable leads on the LT8640JUDCF-1#WTRPBF package?
The side-wettable leads on the LT8640JUDCF-1#WTRPBF package enable automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder fillets along the vertical edges of the QFN body. This provides 100% solder joint quality verification-critical for zero-defect requirements in automotive manufacturing-and improves thermal conduction from the exposed SW pads to the PCB.
Does LT8640JUDCF-1#WTRPBF require external compensation components?
No, LT8640JUDCF-1#WTRPBF features internal compensation and requires no external compensation network. Stability is ensured via the internal error amplifier and slope compensation. Only the feedback resistive divider, input/output capacitors, inductor, BST capacitor, and optional FB-to-VOUT phase-lead capacitor (4.7–22pF) are needed for basic operation.
