Product details
Overview
LTC3621EMS8E-3.3#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a 17V, 1A synchronous step-down regulator in thermally enhanced MSOP-8 (MS8E) package with fixed 3.3V output, 1MHz switching frequency, ±1% output voltage accuracy, and 3.5µA quiescent current in shutdown. It delivers regulated power to microcontrollers, sensors, and communication ICs in space-constrained industrial and automotive systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3621EMS8E-3.3#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3621EMS8E-3.3#TRPBF pinout, LTC3621EMS8E-3.3#TRPBF application, or LTC3621EMS8E-3.3#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 3.3V output, PGOOD indicator, SGND separation, 2.7V–17V input range, and Burst Mode/pulse-skipping mode flexibility for low-power design.
Technical Context
The LTC3621EMS8E-3.3#TRPBF uses constant-frequency peak current mode control with internal compensation and an 800µs soft-start ramp. Its architecture supports full dropout operation down to VIN ≈ VOUT while maintaining ultralow IQ of 3.5µA in shutdown and <1.5mA in forced continuous mode at light load.
It integrates dual MOSFETs (top PMOS RDS(ON) = 0.37Ω, bottom NMOS RDS(ON) = 0.15Ω), a 0.6V reference amplifier, overtemperature protection, and VIN overvoltage lockout (19V trip). The MS8E package includes dedicated SGND and PGOOD pins-enabling precise noise isolation and system-level power sequencing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 17V - supports wide-input industrial rails, battery-backed systems, and automotive cold-crank conditions. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±1% - eliminates external feedback resistors; ensures stable logic-level supply for MCU/USB/UART peripherals. |
| Max Output Current | 1A - sufficient for powering ARM Cortex-M cores, CAN transceivers, or multi-sensor nodes without external boost. |
| Quiescent Current | 3.5µA in shutdown - enables >1-year battery life in always-on monitoring devices with wake-on-event capability. |
| Switching Frequency | 1MHz - allows use of compact 2.2µH inductors and ceramic capacitors; reduces EMI filter size vs lower-frequency alternatives. |
| PGOOD Accuracy | ±7.5% window with 32-cycle blanking - provides reliable power-good assertion for FPGA configuration or processor reset sequencing. |

Pinout & Package
Package: 8-Lead Plastic MSOP (MS8E) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 9 = GND); rated for –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pin 1) | Switch Node | Connection to inductor; carries high di/dt square wave - requires tight layout and Kelvin routing 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. |
| RUN (Pin 3) | Enable Control | Active-high logic input; pulls regulator out of shutdown - tie to MCU GPIO or system power rail for controlled startup. |
| FB (Pin 5) | Feedback Reference | Internally connected to 3.3V output; no external divider needed - simplifies layout and improves noise immunity. |
| INTVCC (Pin 6) | Internal LDO Output | 3.6V bias rail for gate drivers and analog circuitry - requires ≥1µF ceramic bypass to GND. |
| MODE/SYNC (Pin 7) | Operating Mode Select | Selects Burst Mode (tie to INTVCC), pulse-skipping (tie to GND), or forced continuous (1V–2.4V); also accepts external clock sync. |
| PGOOD (Pin 4) | Power-Good Indicator | Open-drain output pulled high when VOUT is within ±7.5% of 3.3V - used for system reset or enable sequencing. |
| SGND (Pin 8) | Signal Ground | Dedicated low-noise ground return for FB, MODE/SYNC, and PGOOD - must be routed separately from power GND to avoid coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

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 output (0.9V–6.05V), 3.5µA IQ, but no PGOOD or SGND pin. | Lacks dedicated power-good signaling and signal/power ground separation - unsuitable for FPGA reset or noise-sensitive analog systems. | Select only if output adjustability is required and PGOOD/SGND are not needed. |
| MAX17503GCU+T | 4.5V–60V input, 3.3V fixed option, 1.5mA IQ, integrated FETs, but larger 16-pin TQFN package. | Higher minimum input voltage excludes battery-powered 2.7V–3.6V use cases; higher IQ reduces battery life in always-on designs. | Prefer for high-voltage industrial inputs (>24V), not for low-VIN or ultra-low-power applications. |
Compared with TPS62130ARGTR and MAX17503GCU+T, the LTC3621EMS8E-3.3#TRPBF uniquely combines 2.7V start-up, 3.5µA shutdown IQ, PGOOD, and SGND in an 8-pin MSOP - making it optimal for compact, battery-sensitive, and noise-critical 3.3V systems where layout simplicity and sequencing integrity are essential.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LTC3621EMS8E-3.3#TRPBF?
The LTC3621EMS8E-3.3#TRPBF delivers up to 1A of continuous output current under typical thermal conditions (TA ≤ 85°C, 2-layer PCB with 2 cm² copper pour). Peak current limit is 1.6A (E/I-grade), and derating applies above 85°C ambient due to θJA = 40°C/W. The device sustains full 1A output even at VIN = 3.6V (near dropout) in forced continuous mode.
Does the LTC3621EMS8E-3.3#TRPBF require external feedback resistors?
No. The LTC3621EMS8E-3.3#TRPBF is a fixed-output variant with internal feedback network set to 3.3V. Pin FB (Pin 5) is internally connected to the output; no external resistor divider is needed. This simplifies layout, improves noise rejection, and eliminates resistor tolerance errors affecting output accuracy.
How does the PGOOD function work on the LTC3621EMS8E-3.3#TRPBF?
The PGOOD pin (Pin 4) is an open-drain output that pulls high via external pull-up when VOUT is within ±7.5% of 3.3V (i.e., 3.05V–3.55V). It asserts after soft-start completes and de-asserts with a 32-cycle blanking delay upon falling out of regulation - preventing glitches during load transients. The internal pull-down RDS(ON) is 275Ω.
Can the LTC3621EMS8E-3.3#TRPBF synchronize to an external clock?
Yes. When the MODE/SYNC pin (Pin 7) is driven by an external CMOS clock, the LTC3621EMS8E-3.3#TRPBF synchronizes its 1MHz oscillator within ±40% (600kHz–1.4MHz). Sync engagement takes 2–3 external clock cycles; loss of sync signal causes automatic reversion to internal frequency within ~7µs. Forced continuous mode is active during sync.
What is the purpose of the SGND pin on the LTC3621EMS8E-3.3#TRPBF?
The SGND pin (Pin 8) provides a dedicated low-noise ground return for the FB, MODE/SYNC, and PGOOD pins - isolating sensitive analog circuitry from high-current power ground paths. Routing SGND separately from the main GND (exposed pad, Pin 9) minimizes voltage offsets and improves output voltage accuracy, especially under dynamic load conditions.
