Product details
Overview
LTC3624IDD-5#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 2.25MHz, 5V fixed-output synchronous step-down regulator delivering up to 2A output current from 2.7V–17V input. It features 3.5µA quiescent current in Burst Mode, ±1% output voltage accuracy, and operates in forced continuous, pulse-skipping, or Burst Mode via MODE/SYNC pin control - ideal for battery-powered instrumentation requiring long runtime and stable 5V rail generation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3624IDD-5#PBF datasheet, LTC3624IDD-5#PBF pinout, LTC3624IDD-5#PBF application, or LTC3624IDD-5#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.25MHz switching frequency enabling compact magnetics, ultralow IQ for standby efficiency, integrated soft-start and overtemperature protection, and compatibility with ceramic input/output capacitors in space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The LTC3624IDD-5#PBF implements a constant-frequency peak current mode control architecture with internal compensation. Its 2.25MHz oscillator supports ±40% external synchronization via the MODE/SYNC pin, and it maintains regulation down to 100% duty cycle during dropout operation.
It integrates dual MOSFET power switches (PMOS high-side, NMOS low-side), a 0.6V reference error amplifier, programmable operating modes, and a dedicated PGOOD indicator with 32-cycle blanking delay. The device uses internal slope compensation to ensure stability across wide VIN/VOUT ratios without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±1% - eliminates external feedback divider; ensures precise logic supply for microcontrollers and sensors. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.25MHz (±40% sync range) - enables use of sub-3.3µH inductors and <10µF ceramic output caps for ultra-compact layouts. |
| Quiescent Current | 3.5µA in Burst Mode - extends battery life in always-on monitoring devices by minimizing no-load power draw. |
| Max Output Current | 2A continuous - supports moderate-power peripherals like displays, ADCs, or RF modules without external boost stages. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 17V - accommodates single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), 5V USB, 12V industrial rails, and automotive transients. |
| Efficiency Peak | 95% at 5V/1A - reduces thermal load in sealed enclosures and lowers system-level cooling requirements. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Active at TJ ≥ 150°C - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking in embedded deployments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-Lead (3mm × 3mm) Plastic DFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 9 = GND). Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB ground plane for rated θJA = 43°C/W and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pin 1) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt square-wave current - must be routed with minimal loop area to reduce EMI. |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Main input supply | Accepts 2.7–17V; powers internal LDO (INTVCC) and high-side switch - requires local 10µF ceramic bypass. |
| RUN (Pin 3) | Enable control | Logic-high (>1.0V) enables regulation; tied low disables output and reduces IQ to 0.1µA - used for system power sequencing. |
| PGOOD (Pin 4) | Power-good indicator | Open-drain output pulled low if VOUT deviates >±7.5% - provides 32-cycle blanking to reject transient glitches. |
| FB (Pin 5) | Feedback input | Internally connected to 5V output - no external resistor divider needed; simplifies layout and improves accuracy. |
| INTVCC (Pin 6) | Bias LDO output | 3.6V regulated supply for gate drivers and logic - requires ≥2.2µF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability. |
| MODE/SYNC (Pin 7) | Operating mode select | Tie to INTVCC for Burst Mode (low IQ), GND for pulse-skipping (low ripple), or external clock for sync - configures core behavior. |
| GND (Pins 8 & 9) | Signal and power ground | Exposes thermal pad (Pin 9) - mandatory connection to PCB ground plane for thermal performance and noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultralow quiescent current | 3.5µA in Burst Mode enables >1-year battery life in 10µA average-load IoT sensors. |
| Fixed 5V output | Eliminates external resistors and layout sensitivity - guarantees ±1% accuracy across temperature and line/load. |
| 2.25MHz switching | Permits use of 2.2µH inductors and 4.7–10µF X5R/X7R ceramics - reduces solution size by >40% vs 1MHz alternatives. |
| 100% duty cycle operation | Maintains regulation down to VIN = VOUT - critical for Li-ion end-of-discharge support in portable medical devices. |
| Integrated soft-start | 1ms internal ramp prevents inrush current - avoids brownout on shared 5V rails during cold start. |
| Overtemperature protection | Shuts down at 150°C junction - safeguards against thermal runaway in enclosed industrial housings. |

FAQ
What is the switching frequency of the LTC3624IDD-5#PBF?
The LTC3624IDD-5#PBF operates at a fixed 2.25MHz switching frequency, with ±40% synchronization range via the MODE/SYNC pin. This allows precise EMI control and enables compact external components - including 2.2µH inductors and 4.7–10µF ceramic capacitors - while maintaining high efficiency across load conditions.
Does the LTC3624IDD-5#PBF require external feedback resistors?
No, the LTC3624IDD-5#PBF does not require external feedback resistors. As a fixed 5V output variant, the FB pin is internally connected to the output, eliminating external divider components and ensuring ±1% output accuracy without layout-induced errors or temperature drift from resistor networks.
How does the LTC3624IDD-5#PBF achieve ultralow quiescent current?
The LTC3624IDD-5#PBF achieves 3.5µA quiescent current in Burst Mode by entering sleep cycles where both power switches are off and only essential bias circuitry remains active. During sleep, the output capacitor sustains the load until VOUT droops enough to trigger a new switching burst - optimizing efficiency at light loads typical in battery-powered standby states.
Can the LTC3624IDD-5#PBF operate with input voltage equal to output voltage?
Yes, the LTC3624IDD-5#PBF supports 100% duty cycle operation, allowing regulation down to VIN = VOUT = 5V. In dropout, the high-side PMOS switch remains continuously on while control circuitry maintains feedback accuracy - critical for sustaining operation as Li-ion batteries discharge below 5V.
What thermal considerations apply to the LTC3624IDD-5#PBF in a 3mm × 3mm DFN package?
The LTC3624IDD-5#PBF uses an 8-lead DFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 9 = GND). For rated θJA = 43°C/W, the exposed pad must be soldered to a minimum 100mm² PCB copper pour connected to ground. Without proper thermal land design, junction temperature may exceed 150°C under 2A load at elevated ambient, triggering thermal shutdown.
