Product details
Overview
LTC3624EDD#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 17V, 2A synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator in an 8-lead 3mm × 3mm DFN package, featuring 1MHz fixed switching frequency, 3.5µA quiescent current in Burst Mode, and adjustable 0.6V–VIN output voltage. It delivers high efficiency (>95%) across wide input (2.7V–17V) and load ranges, optimized for battery-powered instrumentation and emergency radios.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3624EDD#PBF datasheet, LTC3624EDD#PBF pinout, LTC3624EDD#PBF application, or LTC3624EDD#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include ultralow IQ operation, ±1% output voltage accuracy, internal compensation, thermal shutdown, and compatibility with ceramic input/output capacitors in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The LTC3624EDD#PBF employs a constant-frequency peak current mode control architecture with internal slope compensation, enabling stable regulation and excellent transient response. Its error amplifier compares FB voltage to a 0.6V reference, adjusting peak inductor current via ITH to maintain output regulation across line and load variations.
It supports three operating modes selected via MODE/SYNC: Burst Mode (3.5µA IQ, 800mA clamp), pulse-skipping (low ripple), and forced continuous (fixed 1MHz, zero-load capable). The device integrates an INTVCC LDO, overtemperature protection, VIN overvoltage lockout (19V trip), and soft-start (1ms ramp).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 17V - supports single-cell Li-ion up to 12V industrial rails without external pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.6V to VIN - enables direct generation of sub-1V core supplies or adjustable bias voltages. |
| Max Output Current | 2A - sustains full rated load at 12VIN/3.3VOUT with <15°C junction rise in DFN package. |
| Quiescent Current | 3.5µA in Burst Mode - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and emergency beacons. |
| Switching Frequency | 1MHz (±40% sync range) - allows compact 2.2µH inductors and reduces EMI fundamental below 20MHz. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.6V ±1% - ensures precise output setting with minimal resistor tolerance impact on VOUT accuracy. |
| Efficiency (Typical) | 95% at 1A, 5VOUT, 12VIN - minimizes thermal stress and PCB area in sealed enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead (3mm × 3mm) plastic DFN with exposed pad (Pin 9 = GND), rated for –40°C to 125°C junction temperature and θJA = 43°C/W.
| 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 power input | Accepts 2.7V–17V; powers internal circuitry and top PMOS switch - bypass with ≥10µF ceramic near pin. |
| RUN (Pin 3) | Enable control | Active-high logic input; pulls low to disable regulator and reduce IQ to 0.1µA - must not float. |
| PGOOD (Pin 4) | Power-good indicator | Open-drain output pulled low if VOUT deviates >±7.5%; includes 32-cycle blanking to suppress transients. |
| FB (Pin 5) | Feedback input | Senses resistive divider output; regulates VOUT = 0.6V × (1 + R2/R1) - high-impedance (10nA bias) for precision. |
| INTVCC (Pin 6) | Internal LDO output | 3.6V regulated supply for gate drivers and logic; requires ≥2.2µF ceramic bypass to GND. |
| MODE/SYNC (Pin 7) | Mode select & sync input | Tied to INTVCC = Burst Mode; GND = pulse-skipping; 1V–2.4V = forced continuous; accepts external clock. |
| GND (Pins 8, 9) | Signal & power ground | Exposed pad (Pin 9) is electrically and thermally GND - must be soldered to large PCB copper pour. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultralow quiescent current | 3.5µA in Burst Mode enables >1-year runtime on coin cells in intermittent-sensing applications. |
| 100% duty cycle dropout | Maintains regulation down to VIN ≈ VOUT with PMOS fully on - critical for brownout resilience in portable systems. |
| Integrated soft-start | 1ms internal ramp prevents inrush current and output overshoot during power-up. |
| Overtemperature protection | Thermal shutdown activates at TJ = 125°C (E-grade), protecting against sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Current-mode control | Provides inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting and fast load transient response (<10µs recovery). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62840DRVR | 2.7V–6V input, 1.8V–5.5V fixed/adjustable output, 0.36µA IQ, 2.25MHz switching | Lower input voltage ceiling limits use in 12V systems; superior IQ for ultra-low-power sub-1V MCU cores | Select when input is strictly ≤6V and nanowatt standby dominates design priority over wide-VIN flexibility. |
| MP2451DT-LF-Z | 4.5V–36V input, 0.8V–28V output, 2.5A, 3.5µA IQ, 2MHz, no integrated soft-start or PGOOD | Wider VIN range suits 24V industrial rails but lacks PGOOD and precise VFB accuracy (±2%) | Select for cost-sensitive 24V applications where system-level monitoring replaces PGOOD and ±2% VOUT is acceptable. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC3624EDD#PBF?
The LTC3624EDD#PBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 17V. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. Its overvoltage lockout activates at 19V (rising) with 500mV hysteresis, suspending switching until VIN drops below 18.5V. For reliable long-term operation, keep steady-state VIN ≤17V and transient spikes within the OVP margin.
How does the MODE/SYNC pin configure operating modes on the LTC3624EDD#PBF?
The MODE/SYNC pin on the LTC3624EDD#PBF selects among three modes: tie to INTVCC for Burst Mode (3.5µA IQ, 800mA clamp), ground for pulse-skipping (lowest ripple), or apply 1.0V–2.4V for forced continuous (fixed 1MHz, zero-load capable). It also accepts external clocks within ±40% of 1MHz for synchronization - no external components needed.
Does the LTC3624EDD#PBF require external compensation components?
No, the LTC3624EDD#PBF features internal compensation, eliminating the need for external RC networks. This simplifies layout, reduces BOM count, and guarantees stability across its specified operating range (2.7V–17V input, 0.6V–VIN output, 2A load) when using recommended ceramic input/output capacitors and inductors.
What is the purpose of the exposed thermal pad (Pin 9) on the LTC3624EDD#PBF DFN package?
The exposed pad (Pin 9) on the LTC3624EDD#PBF is electrically and thermally connected to GND. It must be soldered to a PCB copper pour to achieve the specified θJA = 43°C/W and prevent thermal shutdown under 2A load. Leaving it unconnected degrades thermal performance by >30°C and violates Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Can the LTC3624EDD#PBF regulate output voltage when input voltage drops close to the output level?
Yes, the LTC3624EDD#PBF supports 100% duty cycle operation, maintaining regulation down to VIN ≈ VOUT + 0.1V. In dropout, the PMOS switch remains fully enhanced, and the device continues regulating with ultralow IQ in Burst Mode - essential for extending runtime in battery-depleted states.
