Product details
Overview
LTC3621EDCB-2#TRMPBF from Analog Devices is a 17V, 1A synchronous step-down regulator with 2.25MHz fixed switching frequency, 0.6V to VIN adjustable output, and ultralow 3.5µA quiescent current in shutdown. It operates from 2.7V to 17V input, delivers ±1% output voltage accuracy, and supports Burst Mode®, pulse-skipping, and forced continuous operation-ideal for battery-powered portable scanners and automotive emergency radios requiring high light-load efficiency.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3621EDCB-2#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC3621EDCB-2#TRMPBF pinout, LTC3621EDCB-2#TRMPBF application, or LTC3621EDCB-2#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.25MHz operation enabling compact 2.2µH inductors, DFN (2mm × 3mm) thermal performance, MODE/SYNC pin configurability for ripple-efficiency trade-offs, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
The LTC3621EDCB-2#TRMPBF implements a constant-frequency peak current mode control architecture with internal compensation and 800µs soft-start. Its 2.25MHz oscillator enables fast transient response and small external components while maintaining stable regulation across 2.7V–17V input and 0.6V–VIN output ranges.
It features three selectable operating modes via the MODE/SYNC pin: Burst Mode® (≤3.5µA IQ, 400mA clamp), pulse-skipping (low VOUT ripple), and forced continuous (no subharmonic oscillation). Synchronization to an external clock is supported within ±40% of 2.25MHz, and overtemperature protection activates above 125°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 17V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive supplies without pre-regulation |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.6V to VIN - enables direct 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, or 5V generation from common rails |
| Switching Frequency | 2.25MHz (±10%) - allows use of sub-3mm inductors and reduces EMI fundamental frequency |
| Quiescent Current | 3.5µA in shutdown, ≤1.5mA in Burst Mode - extends battery life in always-on portable systems |
| Output Accuracy | ±1% over temperature and line/load - ensures stable MCU core or sensor supply without calibration |
| Max Output Current | 1A continuous - sufficient for FPGA I/O banks, microcontroller subsystems, or RF front-end biasing |
| Thermal Package | 6-lead DFN (2mm × 3mm) with exposed GND pad - achieves θJA = 64°C/W for high-power density layouts |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-lead (2mm × 3mm) plastic DFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 7 = GND), rated for –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pin 1) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt square wave - requires tight layout and low-inductance path to minimize EMI |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Main power input | Accepts 2.7V–17V; feeds internal LDO (INTVCC) and power switches - requires ≥10µF local ceramic bypass |
| RUN (Pin 3) | Enable control | Active-high logic input; pulls regulator out of shutdown - must not float; 20nA leakage enables simple resistor-divider enable |
| FB (Pin 4) | Feedback sense | Monitors resistive divider output; regulates VOUT to 0.6V reference - sets output via R1/R2 per VOUT = 0.6V × (1 + R2/R1) |
| MODE/SYNC (Pin 6) | Mode selection & sync input | Configures Burst Mode® (tie to INTVCC), pulse-skipping (tie to GND), or forced continuous/sync (apply 1V–VINTVCC–1.2V) |
| GND (Exposed Pad) | Power & signal ground | Thermal and electrical return path - must be soldered to large PCB copper area for thermal dissipation and noise control |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 2.25MHz fixed-frequency operation | Enables <3mm inductor size and shifts EMI spectrum above sensitive AM radio bands (0.53–1.71MHz) |
| Burst Mode® with 3.5µA IQ | Extends runtime in battery-backed systems by >10× vs continuous mode at µA-level loads |
| Internal soft-start (800µs) | Prevents inrush current and output overshoot during power-up - no external capacitor required |
| ±40% frequency synchronization | Allows EMI reduction via spread-spectrum clock alignment or multi-rail phase interleaving |
| AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade E) | Validated for automotive ambient temperatures (–40°C to +125°C) and vibration/thermal cycling stress |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62130ARGTR | 3.0V–17V input, 2.5MHz, 3.6µA IQ, but fixed 3.0V/3.3V/5.0V outputs only - no adjustable version | Not suitable for designs requiring programmable VOUT below 3.0V or >5.0V | Select when fixed-output simplicity outweighs adjustability need and 3.3V/5V matches system rails |
| MAX17504ATP+T | 4.5V–60V input, 2.2MHz, 1.2A, but 12µA IQ and no Burst Mode - higher light-load power loss | Targeted at high-VIN industrial power supplies, not battery or automotive low-VIN use cases | Choose only if input exceeds 17V or if higher voltage tolerance is mandatory; avoid for sub-17V battery systems |
Compared with TPS62130ARGTR and MAX17504ATP+T, the LTC3621EDCB-2#TRMPBF uniquely combines 2.7V–17V input range, 2.25MHz operation, fully adjustable output, and 3.5µA IQ - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-sensitive applications where flexibility and efficiency are co-prioritized.

FAQ
What is the switching frequency of the LTC3621EDCB-2#TRMPBF and how is it set?
The LTC3621EDCB-2#TRMPBF has a factory-set fixed switching frequency of 2.25MHz, confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table (fOSC = 2.25MHz for E/I-grade). This frequency is not user-adjustable via external components but can be synchronized to an external clock within ±40% (1.35MHz–3.15MHz) using the MODE/SYNC pin. The 2.25MHz value enables small inductor and capacitor footprints while maintaining high efficiency across load conditions.
Does the LTC3621EDCB-2#TRMPBF support adjustable output voltage, and what is the minimum achievable VOUT?
Yes, the LTC3621EDCB-2#TRMPBF supports fully adjustable output voltage from 0.6V to VIN using an external resistor divider on the FB pin. The minimum regulated output is 0.6V - the internal reference voltage - which is guaranteed over temperature and line/load per the Electrical Characteristics table (VFB = 0.594V to 0.606V). This allows generation of 0.8V, 1.2V, or 1.8V rails for modern low-voltage processors and sensors.
What are the operating modes controlled by the MODE/SYNC pin on the LTC3621EDCB-2#TRMPBF?
The MODE/SYNC pin on the LTC3621EDCB-2#TRMPBF selects among three distinct operating modes: Burst Mode® (tie to INTVCC for ≤3.5µA IQ), pulse-skipping (tie to GND for lowest output ripple), and forced continuous mode (apply 1.0V–VINTVCC–1.2V for fixed-frequency operation at all loads). These modes are explicitly defined in the Pin Functions and Operation sections of the datasheet, enabling precise optimization of efficiency versus noise for each application.
Is the LTC3621EDCB-2#TRMPBF qualified for automotive applications, and what grade does it carry?
Yes, the LTC3621EDCB-2#TRMPBF is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications. As indicated in the Order Information table, the "E" grade (LTC3621E) specifies an operating junction temperature range of –40°C to +125°C and is explicitly listed under Automotive Products with #WPBF suffix variants. While the standard LTC3621EDCB-2#TRMPBF uses the same die and package, its qualification status derives from the E-grade process and test flow validated for automotive reliability requirements.
What is the thermal resistance and maximum junction temperature of the LTC3621EDCB-2#TRMPBF in its DFN package?
The LTC3621EDCB-2#TRMPBF in the 6-lead DFN (2mm × 3mm) package has θJA = 64°C/W and θJC = 9.6°C/W, with a maximum junction temperature (TJMAX) of 125°C. These values are specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings section and confirmed in the DFN Package description. Proper soldering of the exposed GND pad to a thermal plane is mandatory to achieve these ratings and sustain 1A continuous output under worst-case ambient conditions.
