Product details
Overview
LTC3621IDCB-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. It delivers adjustable output from 0.6V to VIN, achieves ≤3.5µA quiescent current in shutdown, and maintains ±1% output voltage accuracy across –40°C to 125°C. It is used in space-constrained automotive and portable industrial power rails requiring low-noise, high-efficiency DC/DC conversion.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3621IDCB-2#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3621IDCB-2#TRPBF pinout, LTC3621IDCB-2#TRPBF application, or LTC3621IDCB-2#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed alternatives, and supply-chain support for production-grade deployment.
Technical Context
The LTC3621IDCB-2#TRPBF uses constant-frequency peak current mode control with internal compensation and an 800µs soft-start ramp. Its 2.25MHz fixed oscillator enables compact filter design using small inductors (e.g., 2.2µH) and ceramic capacitors while maintaining stability across 2.7V–17V input and 0.6V–VIN output ranges.
It supports three operational modes via the MODE/SYNC pin: Burst Mode (≤3.5µA IQ, 400mA clamp), pulse-skipping (low VOUT ripple), and forced continuous (cycle-by-cycle switching). Overtemperature protection, VIN overvoltage lockout (19V trip), and undervoltage lockout (2.7V) are integrated.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 17V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive battery rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | Up to 1A - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and RF modules in embedded systems. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.25MHz (±40% sync range) - enables use of sub-3mm inductors and reduces EMI filtering footprint. |
| Quiescent Current | ≤3.5µA in shutdown - extends battery life in always-on portable devices like emergency radios. |
| Feedback Voltage | 0.6V ±1% - enables precise, stable output regulation with external resistor divider tuning. |
| Operating Temp Range | –40°C to 125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial edge computing environments. |
| Package | 6-lead DFN (2mm × 3mm) with exposed GND pad - provides low thermal resistance (θJC = 9.6°C/W) for high-power density layouts. |
Pinout & Package
6-lead DFN (2mm × 3mm) package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 7) soldered to PCB ground for optimal thermal performance and EMI reduction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pin 1) | Switch node | Connects directly to inductor; carries high di/dt switching current - requires tight layout and Kelvin connection to minimize ringing. |
| VIN (Pin 2) | 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 - used for system-level power sequencing. |
| FB (Pin 4) | Feedback sense | Monitors resistive divider output; regulates VOUT to 0.6V reference - sets output voltage as VOUT = 0.6V × (1 + R2/R1). |
| INTVCC (Pin 5) | Internal LDO output | 3.6V regulated supply for internal circuitry - must be bypassed with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor to GND. |
| MODE/SYNC (Pin 6) | Mode selection & clock sync | Selects Burst Mode (tie to INTVCC), pulse-skipping (tie to GND), or forced continuous (1V–2.4V); accepts external clock up to ±40% of 2.25MHz. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Burst Mode® operation | Reduces IQ to ≤3.5µA at light loads while maintaining regulation - critical for battery-powered handheld scanners. |
| 2.25MHz fixed-frequency switching | Enables use of 2.2µH inductors and 22µF ceramic output caps - cuts solution size by >40% vs 1MHz equivalents. |
| Internal soft-start (800µs) | Prevents inrush current and output overshoot during startup - eliminates need for external timing components. |
| Overtemperature & OVP protection | Shuts down safely at TJ > 150°C or VIN > 19V - protects downstream circuitry in fault conditions without external supervision. |
| Adjustable VOUT (0.6V–VIN) | Supports core voltages for ARM Cortex-M, DSPs, and FPGAs via simple resistor divider - no fixed-output variants required. |

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 | 3V–17V input, 3MHz switching, 1.2A output, 17µA IQ in PWM mode - higher light-load IQ than LTC3621IDCB-2#TRPBF's 3.5µA Burst Mode. | Targets cost-sensitive consumer electronics; lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and sync range flexibility. | Choose when 3MHz operation and higher output current are prioritized over ultra-low IQ and automotive compliance. |
| MP2315GJ-Z | 4.5V–28V input, 2MHz switching, 1.5A output, 26µA IQ - wider VIN but significantly higher quiescent current and no Burst Mode. | Suitable for industrial 24V rail applications; not rated for automotive temperature range or low-IQ battery use. | Choose for higher input voltage margin and higher output current where IQ < 10µA is not required. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC3621IDCB-2#TRPBF?
The LTC3621IDCB-2#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 17V. Exceeding this voltage risks permanent damage. Its VIN overvoltage lockout activates at 19V (rising) with 300mV hysteresis, suspending switching until VIN drops below 18.7V. This protection safeguards internal PMOS/NMOS switches during transients.
Does the LTC3621IDCB-2#TRPBF support external frequency synchronization?
Yes, the LTC3621IDCB-2#TRPBF supports external clock synchronization via its MODE/SYNC pin. It locks to input clocks within ±40% of its nominal 2.25MHz frequency (i.e., 1.35MHz to 3.15MHz), entering forced continuous mode upon sync engagement. Sync acquisition takes 2–3 external clock cycles.
What is the purpose of the exposed pad on the LTC3621IDCB-2#TRPBF DFN package?
The exposed pad (Pin 7) on the LTC3621IDCB-2#TRPBF is electrically and thermally connected to GND. It must be soldered to a PCB copper pour to achieve θJC = 9.6°C/W and ensure safe thermal dissipation at full 1A load. Leaving it unconnected degrades thermal performance and may cause premature thermal shutdown.
How does the MODE/SYNC pin configure operating modes on the LTC3621IDCB-2#TRPBF?
The MODE/SYNC pin selects three modes: tie to INTVCC for Burst Mode (≤3.5µA IQ, 400mA clamp), tie to GND for pulse-skipping (lowest VOUT ripple), or apply 1.0V–2.4V for forced continuous mode. External clock input also forces continuous mode and synchronizes switching frequency.
Is the LTC3621IDCB-2#TRPBF qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the LTC3621IDCB-2#TRPBF is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications. Its –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range, integrated OVP/UVP, overtemperature protection, and robust DFN package meet automotive reliability requirements for infotainment and body electronics.
