Product details
Overview
LTC3630AMPDHC#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-efficiency, wide-input synchronous step-down DC/DC converter with integrated high-side P-channel and low-side N-channel MOSFETs. It operates from 4V to 76V input, delivers up to 500mA output current, and maintains regulation with only 12µA quiescent current in Burst Mode® at no load - enabling long battery life in industrial sensors and avionics power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3630AMPDHC#PBF datasheet, LTC3630AMPDHC#PBF pinout, LTC3630AMPDHC#PBF application, or LTC3630AMPDHC#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its programmable peak current limit (100mA–1.2A), 0.8V ±1% feedback reference, 100% duty-cycle dropout capability, and support for parallel operation via FBO pin - all in a –55°C to 150°C rated 16-lead 5mm × 3mm DFN package.
Technical Context
The LTC3630AMPDHC#PBF employs Burst Mode® control with hysteretic feedback to achieve ultra-low quiescent current across load ranges. Its internal P-channel high-side switch enables true 100% duty-cycle operation for low-dropout regulation, while the synchronous N-channel low-side switch eliminates external diode losses.
Peak inductor current is set by an external resistor on ISET (5µA current source), directly determining maximum average output current (½ × IPEAK). The RUN pin provides precise enable threshold (1.21V rising, 1.10V falling) with 110mV hysteresis, and the FBO pin allows master-slave paralleling for >500mA applications without external current-sharing circuitry.
Key Specifications

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (1) | Switch Node | Connection to inductor; carries full switching current and high dv/dt - requires tight layout and Kelvin routing. |
| VIN (3) | Main Input Supply | High-voltage input rail (4V–76V); bypassed with ceramic capacitor directly to GND for EMI suppression. |
| RUN (5) | Enable Control | Logic-level enable with 1.21V threshold; internal 2MΩ pull-up enables UVLO configuration via resistor divider. |
| VPRG1/VPRG2 (6,7) | Output Voltage Select | Configures fixed 1.8V/3.3V/5V or adjustable mode - eliminates external feedback resistors in standard voltage apps. |
| GND (8,14,16,17) | Ground Return | Multiple GND pins + exposed pad ensure low-impedance return path and thermal dissipation. |
| VFB (9) | Feedback Input | Monitors output via resistor divider; compares to 0.8V reference - sensitive node requiring short, noise-free trace. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3630AEDHC#PBF | Same silicon, –40°C to 125°C temp grade; lower max junction temperature rating. | Suitable for commercial/industrial environments without extreme thermal stress. | Select when full –55°C to 150°C range is unnecessary and cost optimization is prioritized. |
| LT8609SIV#PBF | 42V max input, 2.5A output, Silent Switcher® architecture; higher current, lower EMI, but narrower VIN range. | Better for noise-sensitive RF/analog circuits; not rated for >42V inputs like railway or industrial HV buses. | Choose for compact, low-EMI 12V→3.3V/5V conversion where 76V input capability is not required. |
Compared with LTC3630AEDHC#PBF, the LTC3630AMPDHC#PBF offers extended low-temperature operation and higher thermal margin for mission-critical deployments; versus LT8609SIV#PBF, it trades peak current and EMI performance for ultra-wide input range and ultra-low IQ - making it uniquely suited for high-voltage, low-power, thermally harsh applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC3630AMPDHC#PBF?
The LTC3630AMPDHC#PBF has a maximum operating input voltage of 76V and an absolute maximum rating of 80V. This allows direct connection to 48V and 72V industrial power buses and tolerance of automotive load-dump transients up to 80V without external protection. Operation above 76V is limited to short-duration transients within the absolute maximum specification.
How does the ISET pin function in the LTC3630AMPDHC#PBF?
The ISET pin on the LTC3630AMPDHC#PBF sources a 5µA (1µA in sleep mode) current that, when passed through an external resistor to GND, sets the peak inductor current threshold between 100mA and 1.2A. Since maximum average output current equals half the peak current, this enables precise scaling of output capability from 50mA to 500mA - optimizing component size and light-load efficiency.
Can multiple LTC3630AMPDHC#PBF devices be paralleled, and how is it implemented?
Yes, multiple LTC3630AMPDHC#PBF devices can be paralleled using the FBO (Feedback Comparator Output) pin. Connect the FBO pin of one "master" device to the VFB pins of one or more "slave" devices. The master's FBO pulls down the slaves' feedback nodes to force current sharing - enabling scalable output current beyond 500mA without external current-sense circuitry or complex control loops.
What is the purpose of the VPRG1 and VPRG2 pins on the LTC3630AMPDHC#PBF?
The VPRG1 and VPRG2 pins on the LTC3630AMPDHC#PBF configure the output voltage mode: grounding both selects adjustable output (0.8V–VIN); tying VPRG1 to SS and VPRG2 to GND selects 5V fixed; VPRG1 to GND and VPRG2 to SS selects 3.3V; tying both to SS selects 1.8V. This eliminates external feedback resistors for common voltages, reducing BOM count and improving noise immunity on the VFB node.
Does the LTC3630AMPDHC#PBF support 100% duty-cycle operation, and why is it important?
Yes, the LTC3630AMPDHC#PBF supports 100% duty-cycle operation due to its internal P-channel high-side MOSFET. This enables dropout operation where VOUT closely tracks VIN - critical during automotive cold-cranking (e.g., 12V battery dropping to 4.5V) or industrial brownouts. At 100% duty cycle, the high-side switch remains continuously on, delivering output current up to the programmed peak limit.
