Product details
Overview
LTC3630MPMSE#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-efficiency, 4V–65V input, 500mA synchronous step-down DC/DC converter with integrated high-side P-channel and low-side N-channel MOSFETs, 12µA quiescent current in Burst Mode®, and programmable peak current limit (100mA–1.2A). It delivers regulated output from 0.8V to VIN in adjustable or factory-fixed 1.8V/3.3V/5V configurations and is qualified for harsh environments including aerospace and extended-temperature industrial systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3630MPMSE#PBF datasheet, LTC3630MPMSE#PBF pinout, LTC3630MPMSE#PBF application, or LTC3630MPMSE#PBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed thermal performance at –55°C to 150°C junction, exact package mapping to 16-lead MSOP with exposed pad (Pin 17 = GND), and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for wide-input-voltage buck conversion.
Technical Context
The LTC3630MPMSE#PBF employs Burst Mode® control with hysteretic feedback to achieve ultra-low 12µA no-load supply current while maintaining regulation. Its internal power stage integrates a 1.0Ω high-side P-MOSFET and 0.53Ω low-side N-MOSFET, enabling 100% duty-cycle dropout operation down to VIN ≈ VOUT.
Startup is controlled via a precise RUN pin comparator (1.21V rising threshold, 110mV hysteresis), and output voltage is selected via VPRG1/VPRG2 logic states-supporting fixed 1.8V/3.3V/5V or adjustable mode with 0.800V ±1% reference. Peak current is set by ISET pin voltage (5µA source), directly scaling maximum output current (IOUT_MAX = 0.5 × IPEAK).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 65V - supports direct regulation from 12V/24V/48V industrial buses, automotive batteries, and PoE-derived supplies. |
| Max Output Current | 500mA - determined by 1.2A typical peak current limit; scalable down to 100mA via ISET resistor for low-power applications. |
| Quiescent Current | 12µA in Burst Mode® - enables multi-year battery life in always-on remote sensors or backup power systems. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.800V ±1% - enables precise output regulation across temperature; used with external divider for adjustable outputs. |
| Operating Temp Range | –55°C to +150°C junction - qualified for MIL-PRF-38535 Class H and extended-temperature avionics, downhole, and military systems. |
| Package Thermal Resistance | θJA = 45°C/W (MSOP) - requires exposed pad soldered to PCB ground plane for reliable operation at full load in high-ambient environments. |
| Switch On-Resistance | Top: 1.00Ω, Bottom: 0.53Ω - defines conduction loss and thermal rise under 500mA load; impacts efficiency above 100mA. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead plastic MSOP (MSE16) with thermally enhanced exposed pad (Pin 17 = GND). Dimensions: 4.0mm × 3.0mm × 0.85mm. Exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane per datasheet requirement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (1) | Switch Node | Connection point between internal high-side and low-side MOSFETs; ties to inductor; carries high di/dt switching current. |
| VIN (3) | Main Input Supply | Primary power input (4V–65V); requires local ceramic bypass capacitor to GND for stability and EMI suppression. |
| RUN (5) | Enable/UVLO Control | Logic-controlled start-up: >1.21V enables operation; <0.7V forces 5µA shutdown; internal 2MΩ pull-up enables resistor-divider UVLO setup. |
| VPRG1 / VPRG2 (6,7) | Output Voltage Selection | Two-pin binary encoding selects 1.8V/3.3V/5V fixed output or adjustable mode (both grounded); eliminates external resistors for standard rails. |
| GND (8,14,16,17) | Ground Reference | Four ground connections including exposed thermal pad (Pin 17); all must connect to low-impedance PCB ground plane for thermal and noise performance. |
| VFB (9) | Feedback Input | Compares divided output voltage against 0.800V reference; in fixed-output mode, tied directly to VOUT. |
| SS (10) | Soft-Start Timing | 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 and influences component size/ripple trade-offs. |
| FBO (12) | Feedback Comparator Output | Open-drain output (20µA pull-up, 70Ω pull-down) enables paralleling multiple LTC3630MPMSE#PBF for >500mA total current. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3631MPMSE#PBF | Same pinout, –55°C to +150°C rating, but adds programmable frequency (200kHz–2MHz) and external synchronization; higher IQ (25µA) in Burst Mode®. | Required where EMI-sensitive environments demand spread-spectrum or synchronized switching; not drop-in for fixed-frequency designs. | Select LTC3631MPMSE#PBF only when frequency control or sync capability is needed; otherwise LTC3630MPMSE#PBF offers lower IQ and simpler layout. |
| LM5164QPWPRQ1 | Automotive AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C), 3V–65V input, 500mA, but uses external MOSFETs and requires compensation network; 26µA IQ. | Suitable for automotive infotainment or ADAS where AEC-Q100 compliance is mandatory; lacks integrated switches and thermal robustness of LTC3630MP. | Choose LM5164QPWPRQ1 for automotive production requiring AEC-Q100; LTC3630MPMSE#PBF remains superior for extended-temp industrial/avionics where integration and IQ matter most. |
Compared with LTC3631MPMSE#PBF, the LTC3630MPMSE#PBF trades frequency flexibility for lower quiescent current and simpler design; versus LM5164QPWPRQ1, it delivers higher integration and wider temperature range at the cost of AEC-Q100 certification - making it optimal for high-reliability non-automotive applications demanding minimal external components and ultra-low standby power.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed operating temperature range for the LTC3630MPMSE#PBF?
The LTC3630MPMSE#PBF is tested and guaranteed over a junction temperature range of –55°C to +150°C. This MP grade exceeds commercial and industrial specifications and is intended for aerospace, defense, and downhole applications where extreme thermal resilience is required. The datasheet confirms full electrical performance validation across this range, including feedback reference accuracy, RUN pin thresholds, and peak current limits.
Does the LTC3630MPMSE#PBF support fixed-output voltages without external resistors?
Yes, the LTC3630MPMSE#PBF supports factory-configured fixed outputs of 1.8V, 3.3V, or 5V using only the VPRG1 and VPRG2 pins - no external feedback resistors required. For example, shorting both VPRG1 and VPRG2 to SS (soft-start node) configures 1.8V output; tying VPRG1 to SS and VPRG2 to GND sets 5V. This simplifies layout, improves long-term stability, and reduces noise susceptibility compared to adjustable configurations.
How is peak current programmed on the LTC3630MPMSE#PBF, and what is its impact on output current?
Peak current on the LTC3630MPMSE#PBF is set by a resistor (RISET) from the ISET pin to GND, with a nominal 5µA internal current source generating the control voltage. The typical peak current ranges from 100mA (RISET = 0Ω) to 1.2A (ISET floating). Since maximum average output current equals half the peak current, a 1.2A peak yields 500mA max output - matching the device's rated capability. This programming directly affects inductor sizing, output ripple, and light-load efficiency.
Can multiple LTC3630MPMSE#PBF devices be paralleled for higher output current?
Yes, the LTC3630MPMSE#PBF includes a dedicated FBO (Feedback Comparator Output) pin that enables current sharing. By connecting the FBO pin of a "master" LTC3630MPMSE#PBF to the VFB pins of one or more "slave" units, their feedback loops synchronize, allowing combined output currents exceeding 500mA. The FBO pin features a 20µA pull-up and 70Ω pull-down, ensuring robust inter-device signaling without external level-shifting circuitry.
What thermal design considerations apply to the LTC3630MPMSE#PBF in MSOP package?
The LTC3630MPMSE#PBF in MSE16 package has θJA = 45°C/W and θJC = 10°C/W, but these values assume the exposed pad (Pin 17) is fully soldered to a large, low-thermal-resistance PCB ground plane. Failure to do so risks thermal runaway at full load, especially above 85°C ambient. Analog Devices' datasheet mandates exposed-pad soldering and recommends ≥4 thermal vias under the pad connected to internal ground planes to maintain safe junction temperatures within the –55°C to +150°C specification.
