Product details
Overview
LTC3630AMPMSE#TRPBF 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® operation - ideal for battery-backed industrial sensors and avionics power rails requiring ultra-low standby power.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3630AMPMSE#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3630AMPMSE#TRPBF pinout, LTC3630AMPMSE#TRPBF application, or LTC3630AMPMSE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its –55°C to 150°C extended temperature grade, programmable peak current limit (100mA–1.2A), 0.8V ±1% feedback reference, 100% duty-cycle dropout capability, and FBO pin for current sharing across multiple units.
Technical Context
The LTC3630AMPMSE#TRPBF uses Burst Mode® control with hysteretic feedback to achieve high efficiency across 1µA–500mA load range. Its internal P/N-channel synchronous switches eliminate external diode losses, while the 0.8V feedback comparator and programmable ISET threshold enable precise output regulation and ripple optimization.
It features dual soft-start (internal 0.8ms + external SS pin), RUN pin with 1.21V rising threshold and 110mV hysteresis for UVLO, and FBO output that drives slave VFB pins to parallel converters - all implemented without external compensation components.

Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead plastic MSOP (MSE16), 3mm × 4.9mm, 0.75mm height, exposed pad (Pin 17) tied to GND for thermal dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (1) | Switch Node | Connects to inductor; carries pulsed current through internal P/N MOSFETs - requires low-inductance layout. |
| VIN (3) | Main Input Supply | Accepts 4V–76V; must be bypassed with ceramic capacitor close to pin to suppress switching noise. |
| RUN (5) | Enable/UVLO Control | 1.21V rising threshold enables operation; 0.7V falling forces shutdown - configurable as precision input monitor. |
| VPRG1/VPRG2 (6,7) | Output Voltage Selection | Set fixed 1.8V/3.3V/5V or adjustable mode by grounding both - eliminates external resistors for standard rails. |
| GND (8,14,16,17) | Ground Return | Multiple GND pins and exposed pad reduce ground impedance and improve thermal performance. |
| VFB (9) | Feedback Input | Compares divided output to 0.8V reference; connects directly to output for fixed modes or divider for adjustable. |
| SS (10) | Soft-Start Control | Capacitor to GND sets ramp time (1ms per 16.5nF); floating defaults to 0.8ms internal soft-start. |
| ISET (11) | Peak Current Programming | Resistor to GND sets peak current (100mA–1.2A); determines max output current and component sizing. |
| FBO (12) | Feedback Comparator Output | Open-drain output (20µA pull-up, 70Ω pull-down) for paralleling multiple LTC3630As in higher-current designs. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3630AIMSE#TRPBF | Same architecture but rated for –40°C to 125°C - lacks extended low-temp capability. | Not suitable for cold-environment deployments (e.g., arctic instrumentation, space launch). | Select when ambient temperature never falls below –40°C and cost sensitivity outweighs extended temp need. |
| LM5164QPWPRQ1 | 4.5V–65V input, 1A output, 100µA IQ - higher quiescent current, no FBO pin, AEC-Q100 qualified. | Automotive-focused; lacks extended temperature range and current-sharing capability. | Prefer for automotive production where AEC-Q100 compliance is mandatory and parallel operation is unnecessary. |
Compared with LTC3630AIMSE#TRPBF and LM5164QPWPRQ1, the LTC3630AMPMSE#TRPBF uniquely combines –55°C startup, 12µA IQ, and FBO-based current sharing - making it the only option for high-reliability, ultra-low-power, multi-unit parallel designs in extreme environments.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC3630AMPMSE#TRPBF?
The LTC3630AMPMSE#TRPBF is specified for operation from –55°C to 150°C junction temperature. This extended range is validated per MIL-STD-883 methods and supports deployment in downhole tools, military avionics, and polar instrumentation where standard commercial or industrial grades fail. The MSE16 package's exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground for thermal compliance.
How does the FBO pin enable current sharing between multiple LTC3630AMPMSE#TRPBF units?
The FBO pin on the LTC3630AMPMSE#TRPBF is an open-drain feedback comparator output (20µA pull-up, 70Ω pull-down). When connected to the VFB pins of slave LTC3630AMPMSE#TRPBF units, it forces all devices to regulate to the same output voltage, enabling true current sharing without external clock synchronization or complex control logic.
Can the LTC3630AMPMSE#TRPBF operate with input voltages above 65V?
Yes - the LTC3630AMPMSE#TRPBF supports up to 76V continuous input and 80V absolute maximum. However, when VIN – VOUT exceeds 65V, a minimum 5mA output load is required to maintain regulation under all conditions, including shutdown. Without this load, the regulated output voltage is limited to VIN – 65V.
What is the purpose of the ISET pin on the LTC3630AMPMSE#TRPBF?
The ISET pin on the LTC3630AMPMSE#TRPBF programs the peak inductor current limit from 100mA to 1.2A using a resistor to GND. Since maximum average output current equals half the peak current, this pin directly sets the 500mA capability and allows optimization of inductor/capacitor size and light-load ripple. In sleep mode, its current source reduces to 1µA to preserve efficiency.
Does the LTC3630AMPMSE#TRPBF require external compensation components?
No - the LTC3630AMPMSE#TRPBF uses internal compensation and operates stably with only input/output capacitors and an inductor. Its Burst Mode® architecture and fixed-frequency-free control eliminate the need for external RC networks or loop compensation components, reducing bill-of-materials count and simplifying layout for space-constrained applications.
