Product details
Overview
LTC3624IMSE-23.3#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 2.25MHz, 3.3V fixed-output synchronous step-down regulator delivering up to 2A output current with 3.5µA quiescent current in shutdown and ±1% output voltage accuracy. It operates from 2.7V to 17V input, supports 100% duty cycle dropout, and integrates internal compensation and soft-start. It is used in battery-powered portable instrumentation requiring ultra-low IQ and stable 3.3V rail generation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3624IMSE-23.3#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3624IMSE-23.3#TRPBF pinout, LTC3624IMSE-23.3#TRPBF application, or LTC3624IMSE-23.3#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.25MHz switching frequency for compact filter design, fixed 3.3V output eliminating external feedback resistors, Burst Mode® operation for sub-10µA light-load IQ, and MSOP-12 package with exposed thermal pad for industrial temperature range (–40°C to 125°C).
Technical Context
The LTC3624IMSE-23.3#TRPBF employs constant-frequency peak current mode control with internal slope compensation, enabling stable regulation across wide VIN/VOUT ranges and fast transient response. Its MODE/SYNC pin supports three operating modes-Burst Mode® (800mA clamp), pulse-skipping (132mA clamp), and forced continuous-with automatic mode transition based on load.
It integrates dual MOSFETs (PMOS high-side, NMOS low-side), an internal 3.6V LDO (INTVCC), overtemperature protection, VIN overvoltage lockout (19V trip), and PGOOD with 32-cycle blanking delay. The 60ns minimum on-time constrains practical minimum duty cycle to 13.5% at 2.25MHz, limiting lowest usable VOUT at high VIN.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LTC3624IMSE-23.3#TRPBF under industrial temperature conditions?
The LTC3624IMSE-23.3#TRPBF delivers up to 2A continuous output current at TA = 25°C. At 125°C ambient, thermal derating reduces usable current to approximately 1.4A due to θJA = 40°C/W and internal power dissipation limits. Derating curves in the datasheet confirm sustained 2A operation is achievable up to 85°C ambient with proper PCB copper pour on the exposed pad.
Does the LTC3624IMSE-23.3#TRPBF require external feedback resistors to set the 3.3V output?
No. The LTC3624IMSE-23.3#TRPBF is a fixed-output variant: the FB pin is internally connected to the regulated 3.3V output, eliminating all external feedback components. This simplifies layout, removes resistor tolerance and temperature drift errors, and improves long-term output stability compared to adjustable versions.
How does the MODE/SYNC pin function in the LTC3624IMSE-23.3#TRPBF, and what are the valid voltage levels?
The MODE/SYNC pin on the LTC3624IMSE-23.3#TRPBF selects operating mode: tie to INTVCC (≈3.6V) for Burst Mode®, ground for pulse-skipping, or apply 1.0V–2.4V for forced continuous mode. It also accepts external clock signals within ±40% of 2.25MHz (1.35–3.15MHz) to synchronize switching-ensuring EMI compliance in dense PCB layouts.
What thermal management requirements apply to the LTC3624IMSE-23.3#TRPBF's exposed pad?
The exposed pad (Pin 13) of the LTC3624IMSE-23.3#TRPBF must be soldered to a solid PCB ground plane using ≥4 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter) to internal GND layers. Failure to do so increases θJA beyond 40°C/W, risking thermal shutdown at >1.5A load. Thermal simulation data confirms 2A operation is sustainable at 125°C ambient only with full-pad soldering and ≥2cm² copper area.
Is the LTC3624IMSE-23.3#TRPBF compatible with ceramic output capacitors, and what type is recommended?
Yes-the LTC3624IMSE-23.3#TRPBF is fully compatible with X5R and X7R dielectric ceramic capacitors. These offer optimal balance of voltage coefficient, temperature stability, and ESR for output filtering. Avoid Y5V/Z5U types due to severe capacitance loss at DC bias and temperature extremes. A typical design uses 22µF/6.3V X7R in parallel with 2.2µF/6.3V X7R for broadband ripple suppression.
