Product details
Overview
LTC3631IMS8E-5#TRPBF 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 current at a fixed 5V output, operating from 4.5V to 45V input, featuring 12µA no-load quiescent current and Burst Mode® operation for ultra-low-power regulation in battery- and industrial-supply applications.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3631IMS8E-5#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3631IMS8E-5#TRPBF pinout, LTC3631IMS8E-5#TRPBF application, or LTC3631IMS8E-5#TRPBF equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed 5V fixed-output behavior, exact MS8E package mapping, and real-world selection guidance for high-input-voltage, low-quiescent-current buck conversion.
Technical Context
The LTC3631IMS8E-5#TRPBF implements a hysteretic Burst Mode® control architecture with an internal 0.800V ±1% feedback reference, enabling automatic transition between active switching bursts and deep-sleep cycles-drawing only 12µA during sleep-to maintain regulation across load currents from 100µA to 100mA. Its peak current limit is programmable via ISET (50mA–225mA), and its 100ns minimum high-side on-time ensures stable operation down to low duty cycles.
Input protection includes undervoltage lockout (UVLO rising threshold 4.15V typical) and overvoltage lockout (OVLO falling threshold 48V typical), allowing safe operation up to 60V transient surges. The RUN pin enables precise power sequencing with 1.21V rising threshold and 110mV hysteresis, while HYST provides open-drain logic-level feedback for external hysteresis adjustment.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.00V ±1.5% (guaranteed over –40°C to 125°C junction) |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 45V continuous; survives 60V transients via integrated OVLO |
| No-Load Quiescent Current | 12µA typical-enables multi-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes |
| Max Output Current | 100mA continuous-supports industrial I/O modules and isolated sensor supplies |
| Feedback Reference | 0.800V ±1%-sets output accuracy and enables precision external resistor dividers for adjustable variants |
| Peak Current Limit | Programmable 50mA–225mA via ISET resistor-optimizes efficiency and component size for light-load operation |
| Soft-Start Time | 0.75ms internal default; externally adjustable via SS pin capacitor-prevents input droop during cold-start |
Pinout & Package
The LTC3631IMS8E-5#TRPBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic MSOP (MS8E) package with exposed pad (Pin 9), requiring soldering to PCB ground for thermal and electrical integrity. θJA = 40°C/W, θJC = 5–10°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pin 1) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries full switching current and voltage swing (0V to VIN); requires low-inductance layout |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Main input supply | Accepts 4.5V–45V; must be bypassed with ceramic capacitor directly to GND (Pin 8) |
| ISET (Pin 3) | Peak current programming | Sources 1µA; resistor to GND sets trip threshold (50–225mA); floating = 225mA |
| SS (Pin 4) | Soft-start ramp control | Sources 5µA; capacitor to GND extends start-up time beyond internal 0.75ms |
| RUN (Pin 5) | Enable/disable control | Active-high logic: >1.21V enables operation; <0.7V forces shutdown (3µA IQ) |
| VOUT/VFB (Pin 6) | Output feedback | Internally connected to 5V output; for fixed versions, ties directly to VOUT; senses 0.8V reference |
| HYST (Pin 7) | Run hysteresis indicator | Open-drain output pulled low when RUN <1.2V; used to add external hysteresis to RUN divider |
| GND (Pin 8) | Power and signal ground | Primary ground return; exposed pad (Pin 9) must be soldered to PCB ground plane |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-input-voltage, low-quiescent-current buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT8609SIS8#TRPBF | 42V max input, 2A output, 2.5µA IQ, requires external compensation; no programmable peak current limit | Higher current, lower IQ-but larger solution size and more complex design for 100mA use case | Select if >100mA output or <2.5µA IQ is mandatory; avoid if minimal BOM and simple layout are priorities |
| TPS63036YFFR | 17V max input, 600mA output, 17µA IQ, buck-boost topology; no OVLO or UVLO thresholds specified | Supports input voltages below 4.5V; unsuitable for 24V/36V industrial rails or automotive load-dump scenarios | Select only for battery-powered systems with input <17V and bidirectional voltage regulation needs; not drop-in for LTC3631IMS8E-5#TRPBF |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed output voltage tolerance for LTC3631IMS8E-5#TRPBF over temperature?
The LTC3631IMS8E-5#TRPBF guarantees a 5V output with ±1.5% total error over the full –40°C to 125°C junction temperature range. This includes initial accuracy, line regulation (0.001%/V), load regulation, and temperature drift-all verified per the Electrical Characteristics table in the official datasheet. The internal 0.800V ±1% reference and precision trimming ensure this performance without external calibration.
Does LTC3631IMS8E-5#TRPBF require external compensation components?
No, the LTC3631IMS8E-5#TRPBF uses a hysteretic Burst Mode® control architecture that requires no external compensation components. Its internal loop is fully self-contained-eliminating the need for feedback capacitors or resistors beyond the basic input/output filtering. This simplifies design, reduces BOM count, and improves reliability compared to voltage-mode or current-mode controllers requiring loop compensation.
Can LTC3631IMS8E-5#TRPBF operate with input voltage below 4.5V?
No-the LTC3631IMS8E-5#TRPBF has a guaranteed operating input range of 4.5V to 45V. Below 4.5V, the undervoltage lockout (UVLO) disables switching; the rising UVLO threshold is 4.15V typical, with hysteresis ensuring clean re-enablement above 4.5V. Attempting operation below 4.5V will result in no regulated output, though the part remains undamaged per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
What is the role of the HYST pin on LTC3631IMS8E-5#TRPBF?
The HYST pin on LTC3631IMS8E-5#TRPBF is an open-drain logic output pulled low when the RUN pin voltage falls below 1.2V, indicating disabled operation. It is used to add external hysteresis to the RUN pin's enable threshold-typically by connecting HYST to the RUN divider network-allowing customizable startup/shutdown voltage windows without additional ICs.
Is the exposed pad (Pin 9) on LTC3631IMS8E-5#TRPBF electrically connected?
Yes-the exposed pad (Pin 9) on LTC3631IMS8E-5#TRPBF is internally connected to GND and must be soldered to the PCB ground plane. This connection is mandatory for both thermal performance (θJA = 40°C/W) and electrical integrity. Failure to solder the pad degrades thermal dissipation, increases junction temperature, and may cause premature failure or parametric shift under load.
