Product details
Overview
LT8641HUDC#PBF from Analog Devices is a 65V input, 3.5A synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator with Silent Switcher architecture, 2.5µA quiescent current in regulation, 35ns minimum on-time, and AEC-Q100 H-grade (–40°C to +150°C junction) qualification. It delivers up to 95% efficiency at 1MHz (12VIN→5VOUT) and supports spread spectrum EMI reduction.
For engineers reviewing the LT8641HUDC#PBF datasheet, LT8641HUDC#PBF pinout, LT8641HUDC#PBF application, or LT8641HUDC#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include ultralow IQ for battery-backed systems, high-frequency operation up to 3MHz with fast transient response, automotive-grade thermal robustness, and integrated PG, soft-start, and tracking functionality.
Technical Context
The LT8641HUDC#PBF employs peak current mode control with internal top/bottom NMOS switches (105mΩ/55mΩ), programmable 200kHz–3MHz switching via RT resistor, and frequency foldback during low-VOUT conditions. Its Silent Switcher architecture uses symmetrical layout and integrated bypass paths to suppress common-mode EMI.
Operation modes are selected via SYNC/MODE pin: Burst Mode (2.5µA IQ), pulse-skipping, spread spectrum (±22% modulation), or external clock synchronization. The EN/UV pin provides adjustable undervoltage lockout, while TR/SS enables output voltage tracking and controlled soft-start ramp rate.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3V to 65V - supports wide industrial and automotive supply rails including 24V, 36V, and 48V systems without pre-regulation. |
| Continuous Output Current | 3.5A - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, FPGAs, and sensor subsystems in compact designs. |
| Quiescent Current (IQ) | 2.5µA at 12VIN→3.3VOUT - enables multi-year battery life in always-on IoT and telematics applications. |
| Minimum Switch On-Time | 35ns - allows direct 48V-to-3.3V or 60V-to-5V conversion at 2MHz+ without duty-cycle limitation. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 0.804V (typ) - precise setpoint enabling accurate output regulation across temperature and load. |
| Switching Frequency Range | 200kHz to 3MHz - selectable via RT resistor; higher frequencies reduce inductor size and improve transient response. |
| EMI Performance | CISPR 25 Class 5 compliant with filter - meets stringent automotive radiated/conducted emission limits without added shielding. |
| Junction Temperature Range | –40°C to +150°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade H for under-hood and powertrain applications. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 18-lead 3mm × 4mm plastic QFN (UDC) with exposed SW pads (pins 21, 22) requiring solder connection to PCB for thermal and electrical performance. Pin count and layout match JEDEC-standard 18-lead QFN footprint despite internal pin removal (pins 5, 12 omitted).
| 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 control logic and gate drivers - not for external loading. |
| BST (3) | Bootstrap capacitor node | Requires 0.1µF ceramic capacitor 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; dual-input structure minimizes high-di/dt loop area for EMI reduction. |
| GND1 (6,7), GND2 (10,11) | Power switch return paths | Must be tied together and connected to low-impedance ground plane; critical for thermal dissipation and EMI control. |
| SW (8,9,21,22) | Switch node outputs | Exposed pads (21,22) must be soldered to SW trace - primary thermal path and high-current return for both NMOS switches. |
| EN/UV (14) | Enable and input UVLO input | Hysteretic threshold (0.95V–1.07V) enables programmable input undervoltage shutdown using resistor divider. |
| RT (15) | Oscillator frequency programming | Resistor to GND sets fSW from 200kHz to 3MHz; tolerance directly impacts regulation accuracy and EMI profile. |
| TR/SS (16) | Soft-start and tracking control | 1.9µA internal current source enables capacitor-programmed output ramp rate; supports power sequencing with other rails. |
| SYNC/MODE (17) | Operating mode selection | Ground = Burst Mode; float = pulse-skipping; INTVCC = spread spectrum; external clock = sync - no external components needed. |
| GND (18) | System ground reference | Connect to system ground plane; complements GND1/GND2 for signal integrity and noise isolation. |
| PG (19) | Power good open-drain output | Asserts high when FB is within ±7.5% of 0.804V reference - used for system power sequencing and fault monitoring. |
| FB (20) | Feedback voltage sense | Regulated to 0.804V; connects to resistor divider tap - phase-lead capacitor (4.7–22pF) improves stability. |
Key Features

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT8640SUDC#PBF | Same architecture but 5A rated; 3.5µA IQ; 150°C max junction; no spread spectrum mode. | Higher output current capability; lacks spread spectrum EMI reduction feature. | Select when >3.5A continuous load is required and EMI filtering margin exists. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LT8641HUDC#PBF?
The LT8641HUDC#PBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 65V across VIN1 and VIN2 pins. This allows direct operation from 48V industrial buses and 60V automotive transients without external protection circuitry. Continuous operation is specified from 3V to 65V, with guaranteed performance over the full range per datasheet Section 6.
How does the LT8641HUDC#PBF achieve its 2.5µA quiescent current?
The LT8641HUDC#PBF achieves 2.5µA quiescent current in Burst Mode operation by completely disabling gate drivers, oscillator, and error amplifier between energy bursts while maintaining feedback regulation via a low-power comparator. This occurs only when the SYNC/MODE pin is grounded and light loads (<10mA) are present - verified at 12VIN→3.3VOUT per datasheet Figure G13.
Is the LT8641HUDC#PBF pin-compatible with other members of the LT864x family?
No, the LT8641HUDC#PBF is not pin-compatible with LT8640, LT8640S, or LT8643 due to differences in pin count, function assignment, and internal routing. For example, LT8641 includes dedicated VIN1/VIN2 and GND1/GND2 pairs for EMI optimization, while LT8640 uses single VIN/GND. Layout redesign is required for substitution.
What thermal derating applies to the LT8641HUDC#PBF at 150°C junction temperature?
Per datasheet Note 2 and Absolute Maximum Ratings, the LT8641HUDC#PBF is guaranteed for full specification operation up to +150°C junction temperature (Grade H). However, lifetime is derated above 125°C; continuous operation at 150°C reduces expected MTTF by ~50% versus 125°C - thermal design must maintain θJA ≤ 40°C/W with adequate copper area and vias per datasheet Figure F01.
Does the LT8641HUDC#PBF support output voltage tracking during power-up?
Yes, the LT8641HUDC#PBF supports output voltage tracking via the TR/SS pin. When TR/SS voltage is below 0.8V, the regulator forces FB to equal TR/SS voltage, enabling precise sequencing with other rails. An internal 1.9µA current source allows capacitor-based ramp control - confirmed in datasheet Section "PIN FUNCTIONS" and Figure G24.
