Product details
Overview
LT8641HUDC#TRPBF 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 integrated power switches in a 18-lead 3mm × 4mm QFN package. It delivers up to 95% efficiency at 1MHz (12VIN→5VOUT) and supports automotive-grade operation up to 150°C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the LT8641HUDC#TRPBF datasheet, LT8641HUDC#TRPBF pinout, LT8641HUDC#TRPBF application, or LT8641HUDC#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include ultralow EMI performance, spread spectrum modulation capability, AEC-Q100 qualification, and compatibility with high-frequency inductor selection (1.5µH @ 3MHz).
Technical Context
The LT8641HUDC#TRPBF employs peak current mode control with internal 0.8V reference and frequency-programmable oscillator (200kHz–3MHz via RT resistor). Its Silent Switcher architecture uses symmetrical layout and integrated BST capacitor routing to suppress common-mode EMI without external filters.
It features four SYNC/MODE-configurable operating states: Burst Mode (2.5µA IQ), pulse-skipping, spread spectrum (±22% modulation), and external clock synchronization. The device includes built-in overtemperature protection, VIN UVLO with hysteresis, and PG open-drain output signaling ±8% output regulation tolerance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3V to 65V - supports wide-range industrial and automotive battery inputs including 48V systems and cold-crank transients. |
| Continuous Output Current | 3.5A - sufficient for powering FPGA I/O banks, microcontroller cores, or sensor signal chains without external boost stages. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.5µA at 12VIN→3.3VOUT regulation - enables >10-year battery life in always-on IoT sensors and telematics modules. |
| Minimum On-Time | 35ns - allows direct 48V-to-3.3V conversion at 2MHz, eliminating intermediate buck stages and reducing BOM count. |
| Switching Frequency Range | 200kHz to 3MHz - programmable via RT pin; higher frequencies enable smaller magnetics and faster transient response. |
| Output Ripple | <10mVP-P - meets stringent analog supply requirements for ADCs, DACs, and RF front-ends without additional LDO post-regulation. |
| Junction Temperature Range | –40°C to +150°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade H, suitable for under-hood automotive applications and industrial motor drives. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 18-lead (3mm × 4mm) plastic QFN with exposed SW pads (pins 21, 22); θJA = 40°C/W, θJC(PAD) = 12°C/W. Exposed pads must be soldered to PCB SW trace for thermal integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BIAS (1) | Internal regulator bias supply | Connect to VOUT (≥3.3V) to reduce VIN current draw; enables <2.5µA IQ by powering INTVCC from output rail. |
| INTVCC (2) | Internal 3.4V regulator bypass | Requires ≥1µF low-ESR ceramic cap to GND; powers gate drivers and control logic; not for external loading. |
| BST (3) | Bootstrap capacitor node | Connect 0.1µF ceramic cap between BST and SW; enables high-side NMOS gate drive above VIN. |
| VIN1/VIN2 (4,13) | Dual high-current input paths | Each requires dedicated 1µF local bypass to respective GND1/GND2; minimizes high-di/dt loop area for EMI reduction. |
| GND1/GND2 (6,7,10,11) | Power switch return paths | Must be tied together and connected to solid ground plane; forms critical return for input capacitor and SW node currents. |
| SW (8,9,21,22) | Switch node outputs | Internally connected; tie externally to inductor and BST cap; exposed pads (21,22) must be soldered to SW copper for thermal management. |
| EN/UV (14) | Enable and input undervoltage lockout | Hysteretic threshold (0.95V–1.07V); resistor divider from VIN sets custom UVLO point for battery monitoring. |
| RT (15) | Frequency programming | Resistor to GND sets switching frequency: 221kΩ → 210kHz, 60.4kΩ → 700kHz, 18.2kΩ → 2.0MHz. |
| TR/SS (16) | Soft-start and tracking | 1.9µA internal pull-up charges external cap for controlled VOUT ramp; also accepts external voltage for output tracking. |
| SYNC/MODE (17) | Operating mode selection | Ground = Burst Mode; float = pulse-skipping; INTVCC = spread spectrum; external clock = sync mode. |
| GND (18) | System ground reference | Connect to system ground plane; complements GND1/GND2 for signal integrity and noise isolation. |
| PG (19) | Power good indicator | Open-drain output asserts high when FB is within ±8% of 0.8V reference and no fault conditions exist. |
| FB (20) | Feedback reference input | Regulated to 0.8V; connect resistor divider from VOUT; add 4.7–22pF phase-lead cap from FB to VOUT for stability. |

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the LT8641HUDC#TRPBF?
The LT8641HUDC#TRPBF is rated for operation from –40°C to +150°C junction temperature and is qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade H. This makes it suitable for under-hood automotive environments and high-ambient industrial applications. Derating curves in the datasheet specify power dissipation limits above 125°C to ensure reliable lifetime operation.
How does the LT8641HUDC#TRPBF achieve ultralow EMI performance?
The LT8641HUDC#TRPBF achieves ultralow EMI through its patented Silent Switcher® architecture, which incorporates symmetrical internal power switch layout, integrated BST capacitor routing, and minimized high-di/dt loop areas. When combined with proper PCB layout-including dual input capacitors on VIN1/VIN2 and soldered SW-exposed pads-it meets CISPR 25 Class 5 radiated emission limits without external filters.
Can the LT8641HUDC#TRPBF operate with a 48V input and 3.3V output at 2MHz?
Yes, the LT8641HUDC#TRPBF supports 48V-to-3.3V conversion at 2MHz using its 35ns minimum on-time capability. With an RT resistor of 18.2kΩ, the switching frequency is programmed to ~2.0MHz. Efficiency exceeds 92% at 1A load, and output ripple remains below 10mVP-P with appropriate output capacitance and layout.
What is the function of the BIAS pin on the LT8641HUDC#TRPBF?
The BIAS pin on the LT8641HUDC#TRPBF provides an alternative power source for the internal 3.4V regulator (INTVCC). When connected to VOUT (≥3.3V), it reduces input supply current and enables the 2.5µA quiescent current specification. If VOUT is below 3.3V or unavailable, BIAS must be tied to GND, and INTVCC draws current from VIN instead.
Does the LT8641HUDC#TRPBF support output voltage tracking during power-up?
Yes, the LT8641HUDC#TRPBF supports output voltage tracking via the TR/SS pin. When a voltage below 0.8V is applied to TR/SS, the regulator forces the FB pin to match that voltage, enabling coordinated ramp-up with other supplies. An internal 1.9µA current source allows simple soft-start implementation using a single capacitor from TR/SS to GND.
