Product details
Overview
LTC3630EDHC#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-efficiency, 4V–65V input, synchronous step-down DC/DC converter with integrated high-side P-channel and low-side N-channel MOSFETs, delivering up to 500mA output current, featuring 12µA quiescent current in Burst Mode® operation, 0.8V ±1% feedback reference, and programmable peak current limit from 120mA to 1.2A. It enables compact, robust power supplies for battery-backed industrial sensors and avionics subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3630EDHC#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3630EDHC#TRPBF pinout, LTC3630EDHC#TRPBF application, or LTC3630EDHC#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its wide 4V–65V input range, internal synchronous switches, 0.8ms internal soft-start, precise RUN pin threshold (1.21V rising), and support for fixed (1.8V/3.3V/5V) or adjustable (0.8V–VIN) output configurations.
Technical Context
The LTC3630EDHC#TRPBF employs Burst Mode® control with hysteretic feedback, where regulation is maintained by alternating short burst cycles (with switching enabled) and sleep cycles (with both power switches off and only 12µA VIN supply current drawn). Its peak current comparator sets switching duration per burst, while the 0.8V feedback reference and programmable VPRG1/VPRG2 pins enable fixed-output selection without external resistors.
Startup is controlled via the RUN pin (1.21V enable threshold, 110mV hysteresis), and soft-start is implemented either internally (0.8ms) or externally via SS pin capacitor. The FBO pin provides feedback comparator output for paralleling multiple units to scale output current beyond 500mA, with pull-up current of 20µA and 70Ω pull-down impedance.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead (5mm × 3mm) plastic DFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 17 = GND), θJA = 43°C/W, requiring soldering of exposed pad to PCB ground plane for thermal integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (1) | Switch node | Connection point between internal high-side and low-side MOSFETs; ties directly to inductor; voltage swings from GND to VIN. |
| VIN (3) | Main input supply | Accepts 4V–65V input; requires local ceramic bypass capacitor to GND for stability and EMI suppression. |
| RUN (5) | Enable control input | 1.21V rising threshold enables operation; 0.7V falling forces shutdown (5µA IQ); supports precision UVLO via resistor divider. |
| VPRG1 / VPRG2 (6,7) | Output voltage configuration | Set fixed outputs: both grounded = adjustable; VPRG1=SS/VPRG2=GND = 5V; VPRG1=GND/VPRG2=SS = 3.3V; both=SS = 1.8V. |
| GND (8,14,16,17) | Ground reference & thermal path | Multiple GND pins plus exposed pad (Pin 17) must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal performance and noise immunity. |
| VFB (9) | Feedback input | Compares divided output voltage to 0.8V reference; connected directly to output in fixed-mode or to resistor divider in adjustable mode. |
| SS (10) | Soft-start timing 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 threshold (120mA–1.2A); open = max, shorted = min; also filters light-load ripple when capacitor added. |
| FBO (12) | Feedback comparator output | Open-drain output (20µA pull-up, 70Ω pull-down) used to parallel multiple LTC3630s by connecting master FBO to slave VFB pins. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous MOSFET integration | Eliminates need for external catch diode and reduces conduction losses - enables >90% efficiency at 500mA with 12V→5V conversion. |
| Burst Mode® operation | Maintains regulation at ultra-light loads while drawing only 12µA - critical for energy-harvesting and battery-powered applications. |
| Programmable peak current limit | Adjusts switching behavior across load range: lower IPEAK reduces component size and output ripple; higher IPEAK increases max output capability. |
| No compensation required | Internal loop compensation eliminates external RC networks - simplifies layout, reduces BOM count, and improves reliability in harsh environments. |
| 100% duty cycle dropout operation | P-channel high-side switch enables regulation down to VIN – VDS(on) - supports brownout tolerance in automotive and industrial 24V systems. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC3630EDHC#TRPBF?
The LTC3630EDHC#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 70V, with a specified operating input range of 4V to 65V. Operation within the 4V–65V range guarantees full electrical performance across the –40°C to +125°C junction temperature range. Exceeding 65V may trigger internal undervoltage lockout or reduce reliability, though the device remains protected up to 70V per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
How does the LTC3630EDHC#TRPBF achieve 12µA quiescent current?
The LTC3630EDHC#TRPBF achieves 12µA typical quiescent current through Burst Mode® operation: during light loads, it enters sleep cycles where both internal power switches and most control circuitry are disabled, leaving only essential bias currents active. This architecture maintains regulation while minimizing average supply current - a key enabler for battery-operated devices requiring multi-year operational life.
Can the LTC3630EDHC#TRPBF be configured for a 1.8V fixed output without external resistors?
Yes, the LTC3630EDHC#TRPBF can be configured for a precise 1.8V fixed output by connecting both VPRG1 and VPRG2 pins to the SS pin (soft-start node). This activates internal feedback resistors calibrated for 1.8V ±1.5%, eliminating the need for external divider resistors and reducing component count, board space, and sensitivity to routing noise on the VFB node.
What thermal considerations apply to the LTC3630EDHC#TRPBF in DFN package?
The LTC3630EDHC#TRPBF in the 5mm × 3mm DFN package has θJA = 43°C/W and requires soldering of the exposed thermal pad (Pin 17) to a PCB ground plane for effective heat dissipation. In dropout operation near 100% duty cycle, power dissipation rises significantly - thermal design must ensure junction temperature stays ≤125°C under worst-case load, ambient, and airflow conditions to maintain guaranteed specifications.
Is the LTC3630EDHC#TRPBF pin-compatible with other variants in the LTC3630 family?
Yes, the LTC3630EDHC#TRPBF shares identical pinout and footprint with all other DFN-package variants (e.g., LTC3630IDHC#TRPBF, LTC3630HDHC#TRPBF), differing only in temperature grade and screening. All DFN versions use the same 16-lead (5mm × 3mm) layout with exposed pad (Pin 17 = GND), enabling drop-in replacement across E/I/H/MP grades without PCB redesign.
