Product details
Overview
LTC3630EMSE#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 no-load quiescent current and programmable peak current limit (100mA–1.2A). It supports fixed 1.8V/3.3V/5V or adjustable 0.8V–VIN outputs and is used in industrial control supplies and battery-operated devices requiring wide-input, low-quiescent-power regulation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3630EMSE#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3630EMSE#TRPBF pinout, LTC3630EMSE#TRPBF application, or LTC3630EMSE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 65V max input rating, 12µA sleep-mode current, MSE16 thermally-enhanced MSOP package, Burst Mode® operation for light-load efficiency, and ISET-programmable peak current for ripple/component optimization.
Technical Context
The LTC3630EMSE#TRPBF employs a hysteretic Burst Mode® control architecture with internal feedback comparators referenced to a precise 0.8V ±1% threshold, enabling automatic transition between active switching and ultra-low-current sleep mode. Its RUN pin comparator provides 1.21V rising threshold with 110mV hysteresis, supporting programmable undervoltage lockout via external resistor divider.
It integrates synchronous power switches (P-ch high-side, N-ch low-side), eliminating external diode losses, and features an internal soft-start timer (0.8ms default) plus external SS-pin capacitor control. The FBO pin enables master-slave paralleling of multiple units for >500mA total output, while ISET pin programming adjusts peak inductor current from 100mA to 1.2A-directly setting maximum average output current (up to 500mA) and influencing output ripple and component sizing.

Pinout & Package
The LTC3630EMSE#TRPBF is housed in a 16-lead plastic MSOP (MSE16) package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 17, GND), optimized for thermal performance in space-constrained layouts. Pin pitch is 0.5mm; recommended solder profile follows JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (1) | Switch Node | Connection point for external inductor; ties drains of internal high-side and low-side MOSFETs - must be routed with low-inductance, high-current capability. |
| VIN (3) | Main Input Supply | Primary power input (4V–65V); requires local 10µF ceramic bypass to GND for EMI suppression and transient response. |
| RUN (5) | Enable/UVLO Control | Logic-level enable with 1.21V rising threshold; internal 2MΩ pull-up enables simple resistor-divider UVLO setup. |
| VPRG1/VPRG2 (6,7) | Output Voltage Selection | Configure fixed 1.8V/3.3V/5V or adjustable mode by grounding or shorting to SS - eliminates external feedback resistors for standard outputs. |
| GND (8,14,16,17) | Ground Reference | Four ground connections including exposed thermal pad (Pin 17) - pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal integrity and noise immunity. |
| VFB (9) | Feedback Input | Compares divided output voltage against 0.8V reference; directly tied to VOUT in fixed-output mode or to resistor divider in adjustable mode. |
| SS (10) | Soft-Start Control | Capacitor-to-GND sets output ramp time (1ms per 16.5nF); internal 0.8ms default ensures controlled start-up without input droop. |
| ISET (11) | Peak Current Programming | Resistor-to-GND sets peak inductor current (100mA–1.2A); determines max output current, ripple, and inductor size - critical for efficiency tuning. |
| FBO (12) | Feedback Comparator Output | Open-drain output (20µA pull-up, 70Ω pull-down) for paralleling multiple LTC3630s - enables current sharing without external controllers. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC3630EMSE#TRPBF?
The LTC3630EMSE#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 70V, with a specified operating range of 4V to 65V. This allows reliable operation across harsh industrial and automotive environments, including 48V telecom systems and 24V/42V battery platforms with load-dump transients. Exceeding 70V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
How does the ISET pin on the LTC3630EMSE#TRPBF affect output current and efficiency?
The ISET pin on the LTC3630EMSE#TRPBF programs the peak inductor current from 100mA to 1.2A using a resistor to GND; since maximum average output current equals half the peak current, this directly sets the 500mA upper limit. Lower ISET values reduce light-load ripple and allow smaller magnetics but decrease efficiency at medium loads - a deliberate trade-off enabled by the LTC3630EMSE#TRPBF's architecture.
Can the LTC3630EMSE#TRPBF operate in 100% duty cycle dropout mode?
Yes, the LTC3630EMSE#TRPBF supports true 100% duty cycle operation using its integrated P-channel high-side MOSFET, allowing regulation even when VIN approaches VOUT. This enables graceful brownout recovery and uninterrupted operation during input sags - a critical feature for automotive and industrial systems where input voltage instability is common. Power dissipation increases below ~10V input, requiring thermal derating.
What package type and thermal characteristics apply to the LTC3630EMSE#TRPBF?
The LTC3630EMSE#TRPBF uses the 16-lead plastic MSOP (MSE16) package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 17, GND). Its thermal resistance is θJA = 45°C/W and θJC = 10°C/W. To ensure reliability, the exposed pad must be soldered to a minimum 100mm² PCB ground plane; insufficient thermal relief causes junction temperature exceedance above 125°C under full load.
How does the FBO pin enable current sharing between multiple LTC3630EMSE#TRPBF units?
The FBO (Feedback Comparator Output) pin on the LTC3630EMSE#TRPBF is an open-drain output that pulls low when its internal feedback comparator trips. Connecting the FBO of a "master" LTC3630EMSE#TRPBF to the VFB pins of "slave" units forces all devices to regulate to the same output voltage and share load current proportionally - enabling scalable >500mA solutions without external current-sharing circuitry or complex synchronization.
