Product details
Overview
LTC3621IDCB-25#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a 2.25MHz, 5V fixed-output synchronous step-down regulator delivering up to 1A output current with 3.5µA quiescent current and ±1% output voltage accuracy. It operates from 2.7V to 17V input, supports full-dropout operation, and integrates internal compensation and soft-start. This device is used in automotive infotainment power rails where low-noise, high-efficiency, and AEC-Q100-compliant regulation are required.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3621IDCB-25#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3621IDCB-25#TRPBF pinout, LTC3621IDCB-25#TRPBF application, or LTC3621IDCB-25#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.25MHz switching frequency for compact filter design, 5V fixed output with no external feedback resistors, ultralow IQ for battery-backed systems, and DFN (2mm × 3mm) package with exposed thermal pad for high-power-density layouts.
Technical Context
The LTC3621IDCB-25#TRPBF uses constant-frequency peak current mode control with internal slope compensation, enabling stable operation up to 100% duty cycle during dropout. Its MODE/SYNC pin supports three operating modes: pulse-skipping (low ripple), Burst Mode® (3.5µA IQ), and forced continuous (fixed-frequency, zero-load capable).
It features integrated 0.37Ω PMOS top switch and 0.15Ω NMOS bottom switch, 0.6V reference with ±1% accuracy over –40°C to 125°C, and built-in overtemperature protection. The device is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade I) and includes VIN overvoltage lockout (19V trip) and VINTVCC undervoltage lockout (2.6V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±1% - eliminates external feedback divider, reduces BOM count and layout area. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.25MHz ±20% - enables use of sub-µH inductors and 10µF–22µF ceramic output capacitors for space-constrained designs. |
| Quiescent Current | 3.5µA in Burst Mode - extends battery life in always-on automotive or portable monitoring systems. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 17V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive battery-supplied applications including cold-crank (6V) and load-dump (16V) conditions. |
| Output Current | 1A continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and interface ICs in embedded systems. |
| Thermal Performance | θJA = 64°C/W (DFN), TJMAX = 125°C - requires minimal PCB copper area for thermal relief in sealed enclosures. |
| Accuracy & Stability | ±1% VOUT accuracy, internal compensation - ensures regulation stability without external loop components across temperature and line/load variations. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-Lead (2mm × 3mm) Plastic DFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 7 = GND). Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pin 1) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt square wave - must be routed with short, low-inductance path to minimize EMI and voltage spikes. |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Input supply | Accepts 2.7V–17V; bypassed with ≥10µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin to suppress high-frequency noise. |
| RUN (Pin 3) | Enable control | Active-high logic input; pull high via resistor or microcontroller GPIO to start regulation; tie low to disable and enter shutdown (0.1µA IQ). |
| FB (Pin 4) | Feedback input | Internally connected to 5V output - no external resistor divider needed; unused in fixed-output variants. |
| MODE/SYNC (Pin 6) | Operating mode select / clock sync | Ground for pulse-skipping (low ripple); connect to INTVCC for Burst Mode® (ultralow IQ); apply external 1.3–2.4V clock for synchronization. |
| GND (Exposed Pad) | Power and signal ground | Mandatory thermal and electrical connection to PCB ground plane; insufficient soldering causes thermal shutdown or regulation drift. |
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 IoT edge nodes. |

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 | 3MHz fixed frequency, 3.0–17V input, adjustable VOUT only (no 5V fixed variant); 1.2A output; 17µA IQ in PFM mode. | Lacks factory-trimmed 5V option - requires external resistors; higher IQ reduces battery runtime in always-on use cases. | Select when adjustable output or higher current is needed; avoid if fixed 5V and ultralow IQ are mandatory. |
| MP2315GJ-Z | 2MHz fixed frequency, 4.5–26V input, 5V fixed output; 1.2A output; 26µA IQ; no Burst Mode®, only pulse-skipping. | Higher minimum input voltage excludes 3.3V or Li-ion direct use; no AEC-Q100 qualification limits automotive deployment. | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial applications where automotive qualification and sub-5µA IQ are not required. |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the LTC3621IDCB-25#TRPBF?
The LTC3621IDCB-25#TRPBF provides a factory-trimmed 5.0V output with ±1% accuracy over –40°C to +125°C junction temperature and full line/load conditions. This is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table as 4.95V to 5.05V at TJ = 25°C and 4.925V to 5.075V over temperature, ensuring tight regulation without external calibration.
Does the LTC3621IDCB-25#TRPBF require external feedback resistors?
No. The LTC3621IDCB-25#TRPBF is a fixed 5V output variant - the FB pin is internally connected to the output, eliminating the need for external resistors. This reduces component count, saves PCB area, and improves long-term voltage stability by removing resistor drift and layout sensitivity.
How does the MODE/SYNC pin configure operating modes on the LTC3621IDCB-25#TRPBF?
The MODE/SYNC pin selects between three modes: grounded for pulse-skipping (lowest output ripple), tied to INTVCC for Burst Mode® (3.5µA IQ), or biased to 1.0–2.4V for forced continuous operation. External clock injection synchronizes switching to ±40% of 2.25MHz and forces continuous mode - no configuration resistor is needed.
Is the LTC3621IDCB-25#TRPBF qualified for automotive applications?
Yes. The LTC3621IDCB-25#TRPBF is AEC-Q100 Grade I qualified (–40°C to +125°C), with manufacturing and test processes validated for automotive reliability. It includes VIN overvoltage lockout (19V), thermal shutdown, and robust ESD protection - meeting requirements for infotainment, telematics, and body electronics.
What thermal considerations apply to the LTC3621IDCB-25#TRPBF in a 1A application?
With θJA = 64°C/W and 1A load at 12V→5V (5W dissipation), junction temperature rise is ~320°C above ambient - exceeding TJMAX. Real-world thermal design requires ≥2 cm² of 2-oz copper connected to the exposed pad, plus airflow or heatsinking. At 500mA load, rise is ~160°C, making proper pad soldering and PCB copper essential for reliable operation.
