Product details
Overview
LTC3624EMSE-3.3#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 17V, 2A synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator in a 12-lead MSOP package, delivering a fixed 3.3V output with ±1% accuracy, 1MHz switching frequency, and 3.5µA quiescent current in shutdown - optimized for battery-powered portable instrumentation and emergency radios.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3624EMSE-3.3#PBF datasheet, LTC3624EMSE-3.3#PBF pinout, LTC3624EMSE-3.3#PBF application, or LTC3624EMSE-3.3#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultralow IQ in Burst Mode, 100% duty-cycle dropout capability, ±7.5% PGOOD window, and MODE/SYNC-configurable operation modes (Burst, pulse-skipping, forced continuous).
Technical Context
The LTC3624EMSE-3.3#PBF employs a constant-frequency peak current mode architecture with internal compensation and 1ms soft-start. It operates from 2.7V to 17V input and sustains regulation down to 100% duty cycle using slope-compensated control to maintain 3A peak current limit even near dropout.
Its MODE/SYNC pin enables three distinct operating modes: tying to INTVCC activates Burst Mode (800mA clamp, 3.5µA IQ), grounding enables pulse-skipping (132mA clamp, low ripple), and applying 1V–(VINTVCC–1.2V) forces continuous conduction - all while supporting external clock synchronization within ±40% of 1MHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±1% (guaranteed over –40°C to 125°C junction) |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 17V - supports wide-input industrial and battery-supplied systems |
| Switching Frequency | 1MHz ±8% (E-grade) - enables compact 2.2µH inductor and low-profile 47µF output cap |
| Quiescent Current | 3.5µA in shutdown, 1.8mA typical in forced continuous mode at light load |
| Max Output Current | 2A continuous - sustained with thermal derating per θJA = 40°C/W (MSOP) |
| PGOOD Accuracy | ±7.5% window with 32-cycle blanking delay - prevents false fault triggering during transients |
| Feedback Reference | 0.6V ±0.5% - enables precise output setting; FB pin tied directly to VOUT for fixed 3.3V version |
Pinout & Package
Package: 12-lead plastic MSOP (3mm × 4.4mm) with exposed pad (Pin 13), rated for –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature. Exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pin 1, 2) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt square-wave current - requires tight layout and Kelvin return path |
| VIN (Pin 3, 4) | Main power input | Accepts 2.7V–17V; powers internal LDO (INTVCC) and high-side PMOS gate drive |
| RUN (Pin 5) | Enable control | Logic-high (>0.35V) enables regulation; must not float - internal pull-down ensures safe default-off state |
| PGOOD (Pin 6) | Power-good indicator | Open-drain output with 280Ω pulldown; asserts high only when VOUT is within ±7.5% of 3.3V for ≥32 cycles |
| FB (Pin 8) | Feedback sense | Internally connected to VOUT in fixed-3.3V variant; no external divider required |
| INTVCC (Pin 9) | Bias LDO output | 3.6V regulated supply for gate drivers and logic; bypass with ≥2.2µF ceramic to GND |
| MODE/SYNC (Pin 10) | Mode selection & sync input | Configures Burst/pulse-skipping/forced continuous modes; accepts external 0.6–2.4V clock for ±40% sync range |
| GND (Pins 11, 12, EP) | Signal & power ground | Primary return path for SW, VIN, INTVCC, and PGOOD; exposed pad (Pin 13) is GND and mandatory for thermal performance |
| NC (Pin 7) | No connect | Electrically isolated - no internal connection; leave unconnected or tie to GND per layout best practice |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultralow shutdown IQ | 3.5µA - extends battery life in always-on portable devices without compromising startup speed |
| 100% duty-cycle operation | Enables dropout regulation down to VIN = VOUT - critical for single-cell Li-ion or coin-cell applications |
| Integrated soft-start | 1ms internal ramp - eliminates inrush current and output overshoot during power-up |
| Overtemperature protection | Thermal shutdown at TJ ≈ 150°C - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
| Internal compensation | Eliminates need for external compensation network - reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62840DLCR | 2.7V–6V input, 3.3V fixed, 1.8µA IQ - narrower VIN range, lower max current (1A) | Suitable only for low-VIN battery systems (e.g., single Li-ion); not viable for 12V/17V inputs | Select if ultra-low IQ (<2µA) and small size are prioritized over input range and current capability. |
| MAX17503GEE+T | 4.5V–60V input, adjustable VOUT, 100µA IQ - higher IQ, wider VIN, external FETs required | Designed for high-VIN industrial supplies; lacks integrated MOSFETs and fixed 3.3V option | Choose when input exceeds 17V or when programmable output and higher power are needed. |
Compared with TPS62840DLCR and MAX17503GEE+T, the LTC3624EMSE-3.3#PBF uniquely balances 17V max input, 2A output, 3.5µA IQ, and fixed 3.3V in a thermally enhanced MSOP - making it optimal for mid-range portable equipment where VIN spans 3V–17V and reliability under thermal stress matters.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed output voltage tolerance for LTC3624EMSE-3.3#PBF across temperature?
The LTC3624EMSE-3.3#PBF delivers a fixed 3.3V output with ±1% accuracy over the full –40°C to 125°C junction temperature range, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table (VOUT parameter for LTC3624-3.3 variants). This tolerance includes initial calibration, line/load regulation, and temperature drift - confirmed by production testing and design correlation.
Does LTC3624EMSE-3.3#PBF require an external feedback resistor divider?
No, the LTC3624EMSE-3.3#PBF does not require an external feedback resistor divider. As a factory-trimmed fixed-output variant, its FB pin is internally connected to the output, eliminating external components and ensuring consistent 3.3V regulation without layout sensitivity or resistor tolerance errors.
What thermal derating applies to LTC3624EMSE-3.3#PBF in its MSOP package?
The LTC3624EMSE-3.3#PBF in the 12-lead MSOP package has θJA = 40°C/W. At TA = 85°C and 2A load, power dissipation (≈0.4W) raises junction temperature to ~165°C - exceeding the 125°C rating. Derating to ≤1.3A at 85°C ambient ensures TJ ≤125°C. The exposed pad (Pin 13) must be soldered to a thermal pad for rated performance.
How does the MODE/SYNC pin configure operation modes on LTC3624EMSE-3.3#PBF?
The MODE/SYNC pin on LTC3624EMSE-3.3#PBF selects operating mode: tie to INTVCC for Burst Mode (3.5µA IQ, 800mA clamp), ground for pulse-skipping (low ripple), or apply 1V–2.4V for forced continuous mode. It also accepts external clocks from 0.6MHz to 1.4MHz for synchronization - all without external components.
Is LTC3624EMSE-3.3#PBF RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, LTC3624EMSE-3.3#PBF carries the #PBF suffix indicating lead-free finish and full RoHS compliance. It uses matte tin plating over copper leads and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1), allowing unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH.
