Product details
Overview
LTC3621EDCB-5#TRMPBF from Analog Devices is a 17V, 1A synchronous step-down regulator in a 6-lead DFN (2mm × 3mm) package, operating at fixed 1MHz switching frequency with 5V fixed output, ±1% output voltage accuracy, and ultralow 3.5µA quiescent current - deployed in automotive emergency radios requiring stable low-power 5V rail generation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3621EDCB-5#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC3621EDCB-5#TRMPBF pinout, LTC3621EDCB-5#TRMPBF application, or LTC3621EDCB-5#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its fixed 5V output, 1MHz constant-frequency operation, Burst Mode®/pulse-skipping mode flexibility, thermal performance in DFN package, and AEC-Q100-compatibility for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
The LTC3621EDCB-5#TRMPBF implements a peak current-mode control architecture with internal compensation, enabling fast line and load transient response. Its 1MHz fixed-frequency oscillator supports external synchronization within ±40%, and the MODE/SYNC pin configures operation between Burst Mode (3.5µA IQ), pulse-skipping (low ripple), or forced continuous mode.
It integrates both PMOS high-side and NMOS low-side power switches with RDS(ON) of 0.37Ω and 0.15Ω respectively, operates across 2.7V–17V input range, delivers up to 1A output, and features overtemperature protection plus VIN overvoltage lockout at 19V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±1% - eliminates external feedback divider, simplifies layout and improves stability. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 17V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive battery-supplied systems including cold-crank scenarios. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.00MHz (±8%) - enables compact magnetics and EMI filtering; synchronizable to external clock ±40%. |
| Quiescent Current | 3.5µA in Burst Mode - extends battery life in always-on emergency radio and portable scanner applications. |
| Max Output Current | 1.0A continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and RF transceivers from single 5V rail. |
| Thermal Performance | θJA = 64°C/W (DCB package) - requires minimal PCB copper area for thermal management in space-constrained designs. |
| Protection Features | Overtemperature shutdown, VIN overvoltage lockout (19V), undervoltage lockout (2.7V) - ensures robust operation under fault conditions. |
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 to inductor; carries high di/dt switching current - requires short, low-inductance trace routing. |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Input supply | Accepts 2.7V–17V; must be bypassed with ≥10µF ceramic capacitor close to pin for EMI suppression. |
| RUN (Pin 3) | Enable control | Active-high logic input; pull high to enable regulation, tie low to shut down with <0.1µA standby current. |
| FB (Pin 4) | Feedback reference | Internally connected to 5V output - no external resistor divider required for fixed-output configuration. |
| INTVCC (Pin 5) | Bias LDO output | 3.6V internal LDO; bypass with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor to GND for gate drive stability. |
| MODE/SYNC (Pin 6) | Operating mode select | Configures Burst Mode (tie to INTVCC), pulse-skipping (tie to GND), or sync/forced continuous (apply external clock or 1V–2.4V). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultralow quiescent current | 3.5µA in Burst Mode - enables >1-year battery life in intermittent-use emergency radios without compromising startup time. |
| Integrated power switches | 0.37Ω PMOS + 0.15Ω NMOS - eliminates external MOSFETs and gate drivers, reducing BOM count and board area by ~30%. |
| Internal soft-start | 800µs ramp - prevents inrush current and output overshoot during power-up, critical for downstream logic integrity. |
| AEC-Q100 qualification | Grade E (–40°C to 125°C) - certified for automotive safety-critical subsystems including telematics and infotainment power rails. |
| Dropout operation | 100% duty cycle capability - maintains regulation as VIN approaches VOUT, essential for brownout resilience in 12V automotive systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62130ARGTR | 3.0V–17V input, adjustable 0.9V–6.05V output, 3.5µA IQ, 2.5MHz switching - lacks fixed 5V option and AEC-Q100 rating. | Suitable for non-automotive portable electronics where footprint and efficiency are prioritized over qualification. | Select when adjustable output and higher frequency (for smaller inductors) outweigh need for automotive compliance. |
| MAX17504ATP+T | 4.5V–60V input, 5V fixed output, 1.2A, 100µA IQ, 100kHz–2.2MHz programmable frequency - higher IQ and wider VIN but larger TQFN package. | Preferred for industrial systems with high-voltage inputs (e.g., 24V/48V rails) where dropout headroom is less critical. | Choose when input exceeds 17V or when extended thermal margin (θJA = 30°C/W) is required for convection-cooled enclosures. |
Compared with TPS62130ARGTR and MAX17504ATP+T, the LTC3621EDCB-5#TRMPBF uniquely combines AEC-Q100 qualification, fixed 5V output, 1MHz frequency, and 3.5µA IQ in a 2mm × 3mm DFN - making it optimal for space- and reliability-constrained automotive and portable medical applications where regulatory compliance and ultra-low standby power are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the LTC3621EDCB-5#TRMPBF?
The LTC3621EDCB-5#TRMPBF provides a fixed 5.0V output with ±1% accuracy over temperature and line/load conditions. This specification is guaranteed across the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range and ensures stable power delivery to precision analog circuits and microcontrollers without requiring external trimming or calibration. The LTC3621EDCB-5#TRMPBF achieves this via an internal 0.6V reference with <0.015%/V line regulation and <0.1% load regulation.
Does the LTC3621EDCB-5#TRMPBF require external feedback resistors?
No, the LTC3621EDCB-5#TRMPBF does not require external feedback resistors because it is a fixed-output variant - the FB pin is internally connected to the 5V output. Unlike adjustable versions (e.g., LTC3621EDCB), this eliminates resistor placement errors, reduces component count, and improves long-term output stability by removing external divider drift. The LTC3621EDCB-5#TRMPBF uses the same internal reference and error amplifier architecture but routes the feedback path internally.
Can the LTC3621EDCB-5#TRMPBF synchronize to an external clock?
Yes, the LTC3621EDCB-5#TRMPBF supports external clock synchronization via the MODE/SYNC pin, with a capture range of ±40% around its nominal 1MHz frequency (i.e., 600kHz to 1.4MHz). When an external clock is applied, the device enters forced continuous mode and locks to the incoming signal within 2–3 cycles. This capability enables EMI reduction through frequency dithering or alignment with system master clocks - a feature retained in the LTC3621EDCB-5#TRMPBF despite its fixed output configuration.
What thermal derating applies to the LTC3621EDCB-5#TRMPBF in its DFN package?
The LTC3621EDCB-5#TRMPBF in the 6-lead DFN package has θJA = 64°C/W and θJC = 9.6°C/W. With a maximum junction temperature of 125°C and ambient of 85°C, continuous 1A operation requires ≥1.5cm² of 2oz copper connected to the exposed GND pad. Derating begins above 85°C ambient: output current must be reduced linearly to zero at 125°C case temperature. The LTC3621EDCB-5#TRMPBF includes thermal shutdown that activates at ~150°C to protect against sustained overload.
Is the LTC3621EDCB-5#TRMPBF qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the LTC3621EDCB-5#TRMPBF is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade E, –40°C to 125°C) and manufactured under controlled automotive processes. It meets stress test requirements for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and ESD (HBM ≥2kV). This qualification is explicitly documented in Analog Devices' automotive reliability reports for the LTC3621 family, and the LTC3621EDCB-5#TRMPBF part marking "LGQC" confirms its automotive-grade DFN packaging and screening.
