Product details
Overview
LTC3621IMS8E-23.3#PBF from Analog Devices is a 2.25MHz, 3.3V 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 Burst Mode™, pulse-skipping, and forced continuous operation, and integrates power-good indication and thermal protection - ideal for space-constrained industrial and automotive power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3621IMS8E-23.3#PBF datasheet, LTC3621IMS8E-23.3#PBF pinout, LTC3621IMS8E-23.3#PBF application, or LTC3621IMS8E-23.3#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its MS8E package with SGND and PGOOD pins, 2.25MHz switching frequency with ±40% sync range, ultralow IQ in shutdown, and fixed 3.3V output with no external feedback divider required.
Technical Context
The LTC3621IMS8E-23.3#PBF implements a constant-frequency peak current-mode control architecture with internal compensation and 800µs soft-start. Its 2.25MHz oscillator enables compact filter design using small inductors (e.g., 2.2µH) and ceramic capacitors while maintaining stable regulation across 2.7V–17V input and full-load-to-zero-load transitions.
It features three selectable operating modes via the MODE/SYNC pin: Burst Mode™ (for <3.5µA IQ at light load), pulse-skipping (for low VOUT ripple), and forced continuous mode (for EMI-sensitive applications). The MS8E package includes dedicated SGND and PGOOD pins, enabling precise signal referencing and reliable system power sequencing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±1% (no external resistor divider needed - simplifies BOM and layout) |
| Switching Frequency | 2.25MHz ±10% (enables use of sub-3mm inductors and reduces EMI fundamental frequency) |
| Quiescent Current | 3.5µA in Burst Mode™ (extends battery life in always-on portable or emergency radio systems) |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 17V (supports wide-input industrial rails and automotive cold-crank conditions) |
| Output Current | 1A continuous (sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and RF modules) |
| PGOOD Accuracy | ±7.5% window with 32-cycle blanking delay (prevents false fault triggers during load transients) |
| Thermal Protection | Overtemperature shutdown at TJ ≥ 150°C (protects against sustained overload in sealed enclosures) |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-Lead Plastic MSOP (MS8E) with exposed pad (Pin 9 = GND); thermally enhanced for 40°C/W θJA; requires soldered exposed pad for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pin 1) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt switching waveform - requires tight loop layout and Kelvin connection |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Main input supply | Accepts 2.7V–17V; powers internal LDO (INTVCC) and gate drivers - bypass with ≥10µF ceramic near pin |
| RUN (Pin 3) | Enable control | Active-high logic input; <0.3V disables regulator, >1.0V enables - must not float |
| FB (Pin 5) | Feedback reference | Internally tied to 3.3V output; no external resistors required for fixed-output version |
| INTVCC (Pin 6) | Internal LDO output | 3.6V regulated supply for gate drivers; bypass with ≥1µF ceramic to SGND |
| MODE/SYNC (Pin 7) | Mode selection & clock sync | Tie to INTVCC for Burst Mode™, GND for pulse-skipping, or external 2.25MHz ±40% clock for forced continuous sync |
| PGOOD (Pin 4) | Power-good indicator | Open-drain output pulled high when VOUT is within ±7.5% of 3.3V; 32-cycle blanking prevents transient glitches |
| SGND (Pin 8) | Signal ground | Dedicated low-noise reference for FB, MODE/SYNC, and PGOOD - separate from power GND (exposed pad) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Burst Mode™ Operation | Reduces IQ to 3.5µA at light loads while maintaining regulation - critical for battery-backed systems |
| Fixed 3.3V Output | Eliminates external feedback resistors, saving board space and reducing component count and tolerance drift |
| 2.25MHz Switching | Enables use of 2.2µH inductors and 22µF ceramic output caps - cuts solution size by >40% vs 1MHz designs |
| PGOOD with Blanking | 32-cycle delay on PGOOD deassertion prevents false faults during dynamic load steps or input transients |
| MS8E Package with SGND | Dedicated signal ground pin isolates noise-sensitive analog circuitry from power return paths |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the LTC3621IMS8E-23.3#PBF?
The LTC3621IMS8E-23.3#PBF delivers a fixed 3.3V output with ±1% initial accuracy over temperature and line/load conditions. This is specified as 3.267V to 3.333V at TJ = –40°C to 125°C per the Electrical Characteristics table, eliminating need for external trimming or calibration in most applications.
Does the LTC3621IMS8E-23.3#PBF require external feedback resistors?
No. The LTC3621IMS8E-23.3#PBF is the fixed 3.3V variant - its FB pin is internally connected to the regulated output, so no external resistor divider is required. This reduces BOM count, PCB area, and potential errors from resistor tolerance or layout parasitics.
How does the PGOOD function work on the LTC3621IMS8E-23.3#PBF?
The PGOOD pin on the LTC3621IMS8E-23.3#PBF is an open-drain output that goes high when VOUT is within ±7.5% of 3.3V (i.e., 3.05V–3.55V). It includes a 32-switching-cycle blanking delay on the falling edge to suppress false triggers during load transients or input dips.
Can the LTC3621IMS8E-23.3#PBF synchronize to an external clock?
Yes. The MODE/SYNC pin of the LTC3621IMS8E-23.3#PBF accepts an external clock signal within ±40% of its nominal 2.25MHz frequency (i.e., 1.35MHz–3.15MHz). When synchronized, the device operates in forced continuous mode and locks to the external frequency within 2–3 cycles.
What thermal performance can be expected from the LTC3621IMS8E-23.3#PBF in MS8E package?
The LTC3621IMS8E-23.3#PBF in MS8E package has θJA = 40°C/W and θJC = 10°C/W. With proper PCB copper pour under the exposed pad, it sustains 1A continuous output at ambient temperatures up to 85°C without derating - verified by thermal characterization in the datasheet Rev. D.
