Product details
Overview
LTC3621IMS8E-25#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a 17V, 1A synchronous step-down regulator in thermally enhanced MSOP-8 (MS8E) package with independent SGND pin and PGOOD output. It operates at fixed 2.25MHz switching frequency, delivers ±1% output voltage accuracy at 5V fixed output, supports input range 2.7V–17V, and achieves ultralow 3.5µA quiescent current in Burst Mode-ideal for automotive emergency radios and portable handheld scanners requiring high light-load efficiency.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3621IMS8E-25#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3621IMS8E-25#TRPBF pinout, LTC3621IMS8E-25#TRPBF application, or LTC3621IMS8E-25#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.25MHz constant-frequency operation, 5V fixed output with 0.6V feedback reference, PGOOD monitoring capability, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
The LTC3621IMS8E-25#TRPBF uses peak current mode control with internal compensation and 800µs soft-start. Its MODE/SYNC pin enables selection among Burst Mode (≤3.5µA IQ), pulse-skipping (low VOUT ripple), or forced continuous mode (stable frequency under all loads), and supports external clock synchronization within ±40% of 2.25MHz.
It integrates PMOS top and NMOS bottom power switches with RDS(ON) of 0.37Ω and 0.15Ω respectively, features overtemperature protection, VIN overvoltage lockout at 19V, and maintains regulation down to 100% duty cycle in dropout-enabling stable 5V output even as input drops near 5V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±1% - eliminates external resistor divider; ensures precise rail for microcontrollers and sensors. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.25MHz ±10% - enables compact 2.2µH inductors and reduces EMI filtering burden in space-constrained designs. |
| Quiescent Current | 3.5µA in Burst Mode - extends battery life in always-on automotive and portable applications. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 17V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive supplies including 12V nominal systems with transients. |
| Output Current | 1A continuous - sufficient for powering SoCs, FPGAs, or multi-rail subsystems from single-stage conversion. |
| Power Good Output | PGOOD with ±7.5% window and 32-cycle blanking - provides reliable system reset signaling without false triggers during load transients. |
| Thermal Rating | Junction temperature range –40°C to 125°C - qualified for extended-temperature automotive and industrial environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-Lead Plastic MSOP (MS8E) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 9 = GND); includes dedicated SGND (Pin 8) and PGOOD (Pin 4) pins for noise-sensitive signal integrity and system monitoring.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pin 1) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt square wave-requires tight layout and low-inductance path to minimize EMI. |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Main 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; must be tied high or driven-floating causes undefined operation. |
| PGOOD (Pin 4) | Output voltage monitor | Open-drain output pulled low if VOUT deviates >±7.5%; used for sequencing or fault indication. |
| INTVCC (Pin 6) | Internal LDO output | 3.6V regulated supply for internal circuitry; bypass with ≥1µF to SGND for stability. |
| MODE/SYNC (Pin 7) | Operating mode select / sync input | Tie to INTVCC for Burst Mode, GND for pulse-skipping, or external clock for forced continuous sync. |
| SGND (Pin 8) | Signal ground | Dedicated low-noise return for FB, MODE/SYNC, and PGOOD-separate from power GND (exposed pad). |
| GND (Exposed Pad, Pin 9) | Power and thermal ground | Mandatory PCB solder connection; primary thermal path and power return for SW/VIN paths. |

FAQ
What is the output voltage of the LTC3621IMS8E-25#TRPBF?
The LTC3621IMS8E-25#TRPBF provides a fixed 5.0V output with ±1% accuracy over temperature and line/load conditions. This eliminates the need for external feedback resistors and ensures consistent rail generation for downstream logic, sensors, and analog circuitry without calibration overhead.
Does the LTC3621IMS8E-25#TRPBF support external frequency synchronization?
Yes, the LTC3621IMS8E-25#TRPBF supports external clock synchronization via its MODE/SYNC pin, accepting input frequencies from 1.35MHz to 3.15MHz (±40% of its nominal 2.25MHz). When synchronized, it operates in forced continuous mode with immediate frequency lock after 2–3 external clock cycles.
What is the purpose of the SGND pin on the LTC3621IMS8E-25#TRPBF?
The SGND (Signal Ground) pin on the LTC3621IMS8E-25#TRPBF provides a dedicated low-noise return path for sensitive analog inputs-FB, MODE/SYNC, and PGOOD-separating them from high-current power ground (exposed pad). This minimizes noise coupling and improves regulation accuracy in electrically noisy environments like automotive cabins.
How does the PGOOD function work on the LTC3621IMS8E-25#TRPBF?
The PGOOD pin on the LTC3621IMS8E-25#TRPBF is an open-drain output that goes high when VOUT is within ±7.5% of 5.0V and remains high for at least 32 switching cycles after entering regulation. It pulls low immediately upon exiting regulation, with built-in blanking to prevent false triggering during transient load steps.
Is the LTC3621IMS8E-25#TRPBF qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the LTC3621IMS8E-25#TRPBF is AEC-Q100 Grade I qualified (–40°C to +125°C operating junction temperature) and manufactured under controlled automotive processes. It meets stringent reliability, thermal, and ESD requirements for use in engine control units, infotainment systems, and emergency communication devices.
