Product details
Overview
LTC3621EDCB-3.3#TRMPBF from Analog Devices is a 17V, 1A synchronous step-down regulator in a 6-lead DFN (2mm × 3mm) package, delivering a fixed 3.3V output with ±1% accuracy, 3.5µA quiescent current in shutdown, and 1MHz switching frequency. It operates across 2.7V–17V input range and supports automotive, portable scanner, and industrial embedded applications requiring ultra-low IQ and high efficiency at light loads.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3621EDCB-3.3#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC3621EDCB-3.3#TRMPBF pinout, LTC3621EDCB-3.3#TRMPBF application, or LTC3621EDCB-3.3#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its fixed 3.3V output, Burst Mode® operation for <3.5µA IQ, 1MHz constant-frequency PWM, and compatibility with ceramic input/output capacitors in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The LTC3621EDCB-3.3#TRMPBF implements a peak current-mode control architecture with internal compensation and 800µs soft-start. Its fixed 3.3V output eliminates external feedback resistors, and the MODE/SYNC pin enables selection among Burst Mode® (ultra-low IQ), pulse-skipping (low ripple), or forced continuous mode (stable EMI profile).
It integrates both PMOS top and NMOS bottom power switches with RDS(ON) of 0.37Ω and 0.15Ω respectively, supports full dropout operation down to VIN = VOUT, and features VIN overvoltage lockout (19V trip) and thermal shutdown protection - all within a thermally enhanced DFN package with exposed GND pad.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±1% - eliminates need for external feedback divider; ensures stable rail for MCU I/O or logic interfaces. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 17V - supports wide-input systems including 12V automotive, 5V USB-PD, and Li-ion battery-powered devices. |
| Quiescent Current | 3.5µA in Burst Mode® - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes or emergency radios without compromising wake-up response. |
| Switching Frequency | 1MHz ±8% - enables compact 2.2µH inductors and low-profile ceramic capacitors; reduces EMI filtering burden. |
| Max Output Current | 1A continuous - sufficient for powering ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers, FPGA I/O banks, or RF transceivers. |
| Efficiency | Up to 95% at 1A - minimizes thermal dissipation in sealed enclosures; maintains >85% efficiency even at 10mA load in Burst Mode®. |
| Accuracy & Stability | ±1% output voltage tolerance, ±7.5% PGOOD window - ensures reliable system reset and brown-out detection in industrial controllers. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-Lead (2mm × 3mm) Plastic DFN with exposed GND pad (Pin 7), rated for –40°C to 125°C junction temperature. Exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pin 1) | Switch node | Connection point for external inductor; carries high di/dt square wave - 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; requires local 10µF ceramic bypass. |
| RUN (Pin 3) | Enable control | Active-high logic input; pulling low disables regulator and reduces IQ to 0.1µA; must not float. |
| FB (Pin 4) | Feedback reference | Internally tied to 3.3V output - no external resistor network needed; simplifies layout and improves accuracy. |
| INTVCC (Pin 5) | Internal LDO output | 3.6V regulated supply for gate drivers and analog circuitry; bypass with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor to GND. |
| MODE/SYNC (Pin 6) | Operating mode select | Configures Burst Mode®, pulse-skipping, or forced continuous mode; also accepts external clock (±40% sync range). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC3621EDCB-3.3#TRMPBF?
The LTC3621EDCB-3.3#TRMPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 17V. Exceeding this voltage may cause permanent damage. The device includes built-in VIN overvoltage lockout that suspends operation above 19V (typical) and resumes at 18.7V, protecting internal MOSFETs during transient spikes - a key safeguard in automotive 12V systems.
Does the LTC3621EDCB-3.3#TRMPBF require external feedback resistors to set the output voltage?
No, the LTC3621EDCB-3.3#TRMPBF does not require external feedback resistors. It is a fixed 3.3V output variant - the FB pin is internally connected to the regulated output, eliminating the need for an external resistor divider. This simplifies layout, improves accuracy by removing resistor tolerance errors, and reduces BOM count and cost.
How does the MODE/SYNC pin function on the LTC3621EDCB-3.3#TRMPBF?
The MODE/SYNC pin on the LTC3621EDCB-3.3#TRMPBF selects operating mode: tie to INTVCC for Burst Mode® (3.5µA IQ), ground for pulse-skipping (lowest ripple), or apply 1V–VINTVCC–1.2V for forced continuous mode. It also accepts external clocks within ±40% of 1MHz for EMI synchronization - enabling deterministic switching in noise-sensitive applications.
What package type and thermal characteristics does the LTC3621EDCB-3.3#TRMPBF use?
The LTC3621EDCB-3.3#TRMPBF uses a 6-lead 2mm × 3mm plastic DFN package with 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 PCB thermal plane for effective heat dissipation - critical to sustain 1A output current at elevated ambient temperatures up to 125°C.
Is the LTC3621EDCB-3.3#TRMPBF qualified for automotive applications?
The LTC3621EDCB-3.3#TRMPBF is not itself AEC-Q100 qualified - only versions with the #W suffix (e.g., LTC3621EDCB-3.3#WTRMPBF) are automotive-grade. However, its E-grade temperature range (–40°C to 125°C), robust OVP/UVP protection, and proven reliability in industrial environments make it suitable for non-safety-critical automotive subsystems when validated per customer requirements.
