Product details
Overview
LTC3631EDD-5#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-voltage, synchronous step-down DC/DC converter with integrated high-side and low-side MOSFETs, delivering up to 100mA output at fixed 5V, operating from 4.5V to 45V input, featuring 12µA no-load quiescent current and Burst Mode® operation for ultra-low-power regulation in battery- or industrial-supply systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3631EDD-5#PBF datasheet, LTC3631EDD-5#PBF pinout, LTC3631EDD-5#PBF application, or LTC3631EDD-5#PBF equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal package data, confirmed pin functions, real-world efficiency curves, and validated alternative parts - all specific to the DFN-8 (3mm × 3mm) 5V fixed-output variant.
Technical Context
The LTC3631EDD-5#PBF implements a hysteretic burst-mode control architecture with an internal 0.800V ±1% feedback reference and 5mV comparator hysteresis, enabling automatic transition between active switching bursts and 12µA sleep mode. Its peak current limit is programmable via ISET (50–225mA), and it includes dedicated RUN and HYST pins for precise enable threshold (1.21V rising / 1.10V falling) and external hysteresis adjustment.
It integrates both P-channel high-side and N-channel low-side power switches (RON = 3.0Ω / 1.5Ω), supports 100% duty-cycle low-dropout operation, and features overvoltage lockout (47–52V trip) and undervoltage lockout (3.75–4.50V trip) - all within a thermally enhanced 8-lead DFN package with exposed GND pad soldered to PCB for θJA = 43°C/W.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 45V - supports wide industrial, automotive, and battery-derived supplies; withstands 60V transients without damage. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.00V ±1.5% - guaranteed over full –40°C to 125°C junction temperature range; no external feedback divider required. |
| Max Output Current | 100mA - average load capability; limited by internal peak current comparator set to 225mA (IPEAK = 2 × IOUT). |
| Quiescent Current | 12µA typical in regulation - enables multi-year battery life in always-on sensor or loop-powered devices. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.800V ±1% - precision internal reference used to regulate VOUT; enables accurate 5V output with minimal external component tolerance impact. |
| Overvoltage Lockout | 47V min / 52V max - protects internal switches during line surges; device remains functional up to absolute max 60V. |
| Package Thermal Resistance | θJA = 43°C/W - achieved via 3mm × 3mm DFN with soldered exposed pad; enables 100mA operation at TA ≤ 85°C without heatsink. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead (3mm × 3mm) plastic DFN with exposed GND pad (Pin 9), RoHS-compliant, moisture-sensitive level 1. Requires PCB land pattern per Linear/LT AN136 for optimal thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pin 1) | Switch Node | Connection point for external inductor; ties to drains of internal high-side and low-side MOSFETs; carries high di/dt switching waveform. |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Main Input Supply | Primary power input (4.5–45V); requires local 2.2µF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND for EMI suppression and transient response. |
| ISET (Pin 3) | Peak Current Programming | Sources 1µA; resistor to GND sets peak inductor current from 50mA (shorted) to 225mA (open); determines max output current and component sizing. |
| SS (Pin 4) | Soft-Start Control | Sources 5µA; external capacitor to GND controls output voltage ramp time (default internal = 0.75ms); prevents input droop during startup. |
| RUN (Pin 5) | Enable Control Input | Logic-level enable: >1.21V enables regulation; <0.7V forces shutdown (3µA IQ); hysteresis ensures clean power sequencing. |
| VOUT/VFB (Pin 6) | Output Feedback | Direct connection to 5V output for fixed-version operation; internally compared to 0.800V reference to maintain regulation accuracy. |
| HYST (Pin 7) | Run Hysteresis Output | Open-drain logic output pulled low when RUN < 1.2V; used with external resistor divider to increase effective RUN hysteresis. |
| GND (Pins 8 & 9) | Ground Reference | Pins 8 (bond pad) and 9 (exposed thermal pad) are electrically connected; pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and noise performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Burst Mode® Operation | Enables 12µA no-load IQ while maintaining tight 5V regulation - critical for energy-harvesting and long-life battery systems. |
| Integrated Power Switches | Eliminates need for external MOSFETs and gate drivers; reduces BOM count to only three components (inductor + 2 caps) for fixed 5V design. |
| Programmable Peak Current Limit | Adjusts max inductor current from 50mA to 225mA via single resistor - allows optimization of efficiency, size, and ripple for specific load profiles. |
| Precise RUN Threshold with Hysteresis | 1.21V enable / 1.10V disable threshold with 110mV hysteresis - ensures robust power-up/down sequencing in noisy industrial environments. |
| Overvoltage Protection to 60V | Internal OVLO circuit disables switching above 47–52V and sustains 60V indefinitely - protects against load dump or supply transients in automotive/industrial use. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the LTC3631EDD-5#PBF can safely withstand?
The LTC3631EDD-5#PBF features overvoltage lockout that disables switching above 47–52V, but it is rated to withstand input voltages up to 60V continuously without damage. This makes the LTC3631EDD-5#PBF suitable for automotive load-dump and industrial surge conditions where transient spikes exceed normal operating range.
Does the LTC3631EDD-5#PBF require external compensation components?
No, the LTC3631EDD-5#PBF uses a hysteretic burst-mode control architecture that requires no external compensation. Its internal feedback loop is fully self-contained, enabling stable 5V regulation with only three external components: an inductor, input capacitor, and output capacitor - simplifying layout and reducing BOM cost.
How does the RUN pin function on the LTC3631EDD-5#PBF?
The RUN pin on the LTC3631EDD-5#PBF enables or disables regulation: voltage >1.21V (rising) initiates operation, while voltage <0.7V (falling) forces shutdown with 3µA quiescent current. Internal 110mV hysteresis prevents chatter; the HYST pin provides open-drain output to extend hysteresis externally when needed.
Can the LTC3631EDD-5#PBF operate at 100% duty cycle?
Yes, the LTC3631EDD-5#PBF supports 100% duty-cycle operation, allowing it to maintain regulation even when input voltage drops close to the 5V output - essential for brownout resilience in battery-powered or unregulated industrial supplies where VIN may dip to 5.5V or lower.
What is the thermal performance of the LTC3631EDD-5#PBF in its DFN package?
The LTC3631EDD-5#PBF in the 3mm × 3mm DFN package achieves θJA = 43°C/W when the exposed GND pad is properly soldered to a 1-inch² PCB copper area. At 100mA load and 25°C ambient, junction temperature rise is ~43°C - well within the –40°C to 125°C operating range, enabling reliable operation without forced air or heatsinks.
