Product details
Overview
LTC3621EDCB-2#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a 17V, 1A synchronous step-down regulator in a 6-lead DFN (2mm × 3mm) package, operating at a fixed 2.25MHz switching frequency with ±40% sync range, 0.6V to VIN adjustable output, and ultralow 3.5µA quiescent current - deployed in portable handheld scanners and automotive emergency radios requiring compact, high-efficiency DC/DC conversion.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3621EDCB-2#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3621EDCB-2#TRPBF pinout, LTC3621EDCB-2#TRPBF application, or LTC3621EDCB-2#TRPBF equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, confirmed efficiency vs. load curves at 2.25MHz, real-world mode selection behavior (Burst/Pulse-Skipping/Forced Continuous), and validated alternatives for automotive-grade 1A buck regulation.
Technical Context
The LTC3621EDCB-2#TRPBF uses constant-frequency peak current mode control with internal compensation, enabling stable transient response across 2.7V–17V input and 0.6V–VIN output. Its 2.25MHz fixed oscillator supports external synchronization within ±40%, and MODE/SYNC pin configures operation between Burst Mode (3.5µA IQ, 400mA clamp), pulse-skipping (low ripple), or forced continuous mode (zero-load support).
It integrates PMOS/NMOS power switches with RDS(ON) of 0.37Ω/0.15Ω, delivers ±1% output voltage accuracy via 0.6V reference, and features overtemperature protection, VIN overvoltage lockout (19V), and undervoltage lockout (2.7V). The DFN package includes exposed GND pad for thermal performance (θJA = 64°C/W).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 17V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive battery systems without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.6V to VIN - enables direct low-VOUT generation (e.g., 0.8V core rails) or high-efficiency intermediate bus conversion. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.25MHz (±40% syncable) - allows ultra-small external inductors (e.g., 2.2µH) and ceramic capacitors in space-constrained designs. |
| Quiescent Current | 3.5µA in Burst Mode - extends battery life in always-on portable devices like emergency radios during standby. |
| Output Accuracy | ±1% over temperature - ensures reliable logic-level compliance for microcontrollers and sensors without post-regulation trimming. |
| Peak Output Current | 1A continuous - sustains full load under worst-case thermal conditions (TJ ≤ 125°C) in DFN package. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.6V ±1% - simplifies resistor-divider design for precise VOUT setting with minimal error propagation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-lead (2mm × 3mm) Plastic DFN with exposed GND pad (Pin 7), rated for –40°C to 125°C junction temperature.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pin 1) | Switch node | Connects directly to inductor; carries high di/dt square-wave current - requires tight layout and Kelvin grounding to minimize EMI. |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Main input supply | Accepts 2.7V–17V; powers internal LDO (INTVCC) and gate drivers - must be bypassed with ≥10µF ceramic capacitor near pin. |
| RUN (Pin 3) | Enable control input | Active-high logic input; pulls low to disable regulator and reduce IQ to 0.1µA - must not float; internal pull-down absent. |
| FB (Pin 4) | Feedback sense input | Monitors resistor divider output; regulates VOUT to 0.6V reference - high-impedance (10nA bias) for minimal divider error. |
| MODE/SYNC (Pin 6) | Operating mode & clock sync | Selects Burst Mode (tie to INTVCC), pulse-skipping (tie to GND), forced continuous (1V–VINTVCC−1.2V), or external sync (60–140% fOSC). |
| GND (Exposed Pad) | Power & signal ground | Thermal and electrical ground plane - must be soldered to PCB copper area ≥25mm² for θJA compliance and EMI reduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Burst Mode® operation | Reduces IQ to 3.5µA at light loads while maintaining regulation - critical for >1-year battery life in intermittent-use devices. |
| 2.25MHz fixed-frequency switching | Enables use of sub-3mm inductors and eliminates audible noise - ideal for compact portable and automotive cabin modules. |
| Internal soft-start (800µs) | Prevents inrush current and output overshoot during power-up - eliminates need for external timing components. |
| ±40% frequency synchronization | Allows EMI reduction by aligning switching edges with system clock - avoids beat frequencies in multi-rail power systems. |
| Overtemperature & OVP/UVP protection | Shuts down safely at TJ > 150°C or VIN > 19V / < 2.7V - protects downstream circuitry without external supervision. |

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 fixed freq, 3.6µA IQ, but only 0.6V reference accuracy ±2% and no external sync capability. | Lower precision output and no frequency synchronization - unsuitable for EMI-sensitive or multi-rail synchronized systems. | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs accuracy/sync needs and 2% VOUT error is acceptable. |
| MP2315GJ-Z | 4.5V–28V input, 2MHz, 17µA IQ, 0.8V reference (±1.5%), no Burst Mode - higher IQ and less flexible VOUT programming. | Higher minimum input limits use in single-cell Li-ion or 3.3V systems; lacks ultralow-IQ sleep mode for battery longevity. | Choose only for higher-VIN industrial supplies where 17µA IQ is tolerable and 0.8V reference suffices. |

FAQ
What is the switching frequency of the LTC3621EDCB-2#TRPBF and can it be synchronized?
The LTC3621EDCB-2#TRPBF operates at a fixed 2.25MHz switching frequency. It supports external synchronization via the MODE/SYNC pin across a ±40% range (1.35MHz to 3.15MHz), enabling EMI reduction in noise-sensitive systems. Synchronization engages within 2–3 cycles of the external clock signal, and the device automatically reverts to internal frequency if the external clock stops.
How does the MODE/SYNC pin configure operating modes on the LTC3621EDCB-2#TRPBF?
The MODE/SYNC pin on the LTC3621EDCB-2#TRPBF selects among three key modes: tie to INTVCC for Burst Mode (3.5µA IQ, 400mA clamp), ground for pulse-skipping (lowest VOUT ripple), or apply 1.0V–VINTVCC−1.2V for forced continuous conduction (supports zero-load operation). It also accepts external clock signals for synchronization.
What is the guaranteed output voltage accuracy of the LTC3621EDCB-2#TRPBF over temperature?
The LTC3621EDCB-2#TRPBF guarantees ±1% output voltage accuracy over its full operating junction temperature range of –40°C to 125°C, referenced to its internal 0.6V feedback voltage. This specification includes line, load, and temperature effects - critical for powering precision analog circuits and logic rails without post-regulation.
Does the LTC3621EDCB-2#TRPBF include built-in protection features?
Yes, the LTC3621EDCB-2#TRPBF integrates overtemperature protection (shuts down above ~150°C), VIN overvoltage lockout (19V trip, 18.7V release), VIN undervoltage lockout (2.7V), and reverse-current protection. These features operate autonomously without external components, safeguarding both the IC and downstream circuitry during fault conditions.
What package type and thermal characteristics apply to the LTC3621EDCB-2#TRPBF?
The LTC3621EDCB-2#TRPBF uses a 6-lead (2mm × 3mm) Plastic DFN package with an exposed GND pad (Pin 7). Its thermal resistance is θJA = 64°C/W and θJC = 9.6°C/W. The exposed pad must be soldered to a ≥25mm² PCB copper area for reliable thermal performance and EMI suppression.
