Product details
Overview
LT8640JUDCF#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a 42V, 5A synchronous step-down Silent Switcher regulator with 2.5µA quiescent current in regulation, 30ns minimum on-time, and AEC-Q100-qualified side-wettable QFN package for automotive power supplies requiring ultra-low EMI and high efficiency at light loads.
For engineers reviewing the LT8640JUDCF#TRPBF datasheet, LT8640JUDCF#TRPBF pinout, LT8640JUDCF#TRPBF application, or LT8640JUDCF#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (3.4V–42V), forced continuous mode capability (LT8640-1 variant), thermal grade (–40°C to 150°C junction), and spread spectrum EMI reduction.
Technical Context
The LT8640JUDCF#TRPBF implements peak current mode control with an internal 0.970V reference and supports programmable switching frequency from 200kHz to 3MHz via RT resistor. Its Silent Switcher architecture uses symmetrical layout and integrated bypass capacitors to suppress radiated EMI without external filters.
It features dual input rails (VIN1/VIN2), dedicated BIAS pin for efficiency optimization at VOUT ≥ 3.3V, and SYNC/MODE pin enabling four operating modes: Burst Mode (2.5µA IQ), pulse-skipping (LT8640), forced continuous mode (LT8640-1), or external clock synchronization - all with spread spectrum option.
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 (≤42V). |
| Output Current | 5A continuous, 7A peak - sustains transient loads without dropout in industrial and automotive systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.5µA in regulation - enables always-on subsystems (e.g., CAN wake-up receivers) with multi-year battery life. |
| Min On-Time | 30ns - allows high-frequency, high-VIN-to-low-VOUT conversion (e.g., 42V → 3.3V at 2MHz) without pulse skipping. |
| Switching Frequency | 200kHz–3MHz (RT-programmable) - balances size (small inductors/caps) and efficiency across load conditions. |
| Thermal Grade | –40°C to 150°C junction - qualified for under-hood automotive applications per AEC-Q100 Grade J. |
| EMI Performance | CISPR 25 Class 5 compliant with spread spectrum - eliminates need for external EMI filters in infotainment and ADAS modules. |
Pinout & Package
LT8640JUDCF#TRPBF uses an 18-lead, 3mm × 4mm plastic side-wettable QFN package (LHJK marking) with exposed SW pads (Pins 21, 22) for enhanced thermal dissipation. The package supports automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints and meets automotive reflow requirements.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BIAS (1) | Internal regulator supply | Accepts VOUT (≥3.3V) to reduce VIN current draw and improve light-load efficiency. |
| INTVCC (2) | Internal 3.4V rail bypass | Requires ≥1µF low-ESR ceramic cap; powers control logic and gate drivers. |
| BST (3) | Bootstrap capacitor node | Connects 0.1µF capacitor to enable high-side NMOS gate drive above VIN. |
| VIN1/VIN2 (4,13) | Dual input power inputs | Each requires dedicated 1µF local ceramic bypass; reduces high-frequency input ripple. |
| GND1/GND2 (6,7,10,11) | Power switch return paths | Must be tied together and connected to low-impedance ground plane for EMI control. |
| SW (8,9,21,22) | Power switch output | Exposed pads (21,22) must be soldered to SW trace for thermal performance; critical for EMI loop minimization. |
| EN/UV (14) | Enable & undervoltage lockout | Hysteretic threshold (0.96V/1.00V) enables programmable input UVLO using resistor divider. |
| RT (15) | Frequency programming | Resistor to GND sets fSW from 200kHz to 3MHz; determines inductor size and efficiency trade-off. |
| TR/SS (16) | Soft-start & tracking | 1.9µA internal current source enables controlled VOUT ramp rate; supports power sequencing. |
| SYNC/MODE (17) | Operating mode control | Selects Burst Mode (ground), FCM (float), spread spectrum (3–4V), or sync (external clock). |
| GND (18) | System ground reference | Connects to system ground plane; completes feedback and PG circuit return path. |
| PG (19) | Power good indicator | Open-drain output asserts high when FB is within ±8% of 0.970V and no faults exist. |
| FB (20) | Feedback reference node | Regulated to 0.970V; connects to resistor divider tap and 4.7–22pF phase-lead capacitor. |
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-1JUDCF#TRPBF | Same 5A/42V specs but includes internal compensation and soft-start; side-wettable QFN, Grade J. | Reduces external component count (no RT/SS caps needed); identical thermal and EMI performance. | Choose when simplifying design validation and reducing bill-of-materials complexity is prioritized over maximum flexibility. |

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for LT8640JUDCF#TRPBF?
The LT8640JUDCF#TRPBF is rated for a maximum junction temperature of 150°C and is AEC-Q100 qualified for Grade J operation. This specification ensures reliable performance in under-hood automotive environments and high-ambient industrial settings. Thermal derating begins above 125°C, and the device incorporates overtemperature protection that activates above 150°C to prevent permanent damage. The θJA is 40°C/W, and θJC(PAD) is 12°C/W for proper thermal design.
Does LT8640JUDCF#TRPBF support forced continuous mode (FCM)?
No - LT8640JUDCF#TRPBF is the standard LT8640 variant and does not support forced continuous mode. It operates in Burst Mode (when SYNC/MODE = GND), pulse-skipping mode (when SYNC/MODE is floating), or spread spectrum/synchronized modes. Forced continuous mode is exclusive to the LT8640-1 family (e.g., LT8640JUDCF-1#TRPBF). Using LT8640JUDCF#TRPBF in FCM applications will result in uncontrolled pulse skipping and degraded transient response.
How is the switching frequency programmed on LT8640JUDCF#TRPBF?
The switching frequency of LT8640JUDCF#TRPBF is set using an external resistor connected between the RT pin (Pin 15) and GND. Typical values range from 221kΩ (210kHz) to 18.2kΩ (2.0MHz), supporting 200kHz–3MHz operation. The relationship is approximately fSW ≈ 1.15×10⁹ / RRT(Ω) kHz. Frequency accuracy is ±10% over temperature and line, and spread spectrum modulation adds ±20% dither around the programmed center frequency.
Can LT8640JUDCF#TRPBF be used with a 3.3V output and 12V input at 2MHz?
Yes - LT8640JUDCF#TRPBF supports 12V-to-3.3V conversion at 2MHz using its 30ns minimum on-time. With RT = 60.4kΩ, it achieves ~2MHz operation, and typical efficiency exceeds 95% at 1A load. Use a 2.2µH inductor and ensure proper layout: minimize SW loop area, place BST and input capacitors close to pins, and connect exposed SW pads (21,22) directly to the inductor node. Efficiency drops slightly below 90% at full 5A due to conduction losses.
What is the purpose of the BIAS pin on LT8640JUDCF#TRPBF?
The BIAS pin on LT8640JUDCF#TRPBF supplies the internal 3.4V regulator, reducing input supply current and improving light-load efficiency. When connected to VOUT (≥3.3V), the IC draws bias current from the output rail instead of VIN, cutting total input current by up to 11mA at full load. For outputs below 3.3V, tie BIAS to GND. Always decouple BIAS with a 1µF ceramic capacitor if driven from an external supply other than VOUT.
