Product details
Overview
LTC3637HDHC#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-efficiency, wide-input 76V step-down DC/DC regulator with integrated 350mΩ high-side P-channel MOSFET, programmable 100mA–1A output current, 12µA no-load quiescent current, and –40°C to 150°C operating junction temperature range. It delivers regulated power in industrial control supplies, avionics, and battery-operated systems requiring robust input voltage handling.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3637HDHC#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3637HDHC#TRPBF pinout, LTC3637HDHC#TRPBF application, or LTC3637HDHC#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 4V–76V input range, 0.8V–VIN adjustable output, programmable peak current limit via ISET, Burst Mode® operation for ultra-low IQ, and thermal-enhanced 16-lead 5mm × 3mm DFN package with exposed GND pad.
Technical Context
The LTC3637HDHC#TRPBF implements a hysteretic Burst Mode® control architecture with internal P-channel high-side switch, enabling 100% duty cycle low-dropout operation and inherent short-circuit protection. Its feedback loop compares VFB against a precise 0.800V ±1% reference and uses VPRG1/VPRG2 pins to select fixed 1.8V/3.3V/5V outputs or enable external resistor-divider programming.
Startup is managed by a precise RUN pin threshold (1.21V rising, 1.10V falling, 110mV hysteresis), internal 0.8ms soft-start, and optional external SS capacitor ramp control. Overvoltage lockout (OVLO) is set via external resistor divider, disabling switching when OVLO > 1.21V and resuming at < 1.10V - triggering soft-start reset for graceful transient recovery.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 76V - supports direct regulation from 24V/48V industrial buses, automotive batteries, and PoE-derived rails. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.8V to VIN - enables both low-voltage logic supplies and near-input regulation for dropout-critical applications. |
| Max Output Current | 1A average - limited by programmable peak current (0.24A–2.4A); max average = 50% of peak due to hysteretic control. |
| Quiescent Current | 12µA in Burst Mode sleep - sustains regulation with minimal battery drain in always-on portable or remote sensor systems. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.800V ±1% - provides tight output accuracy across temperature; line regulation 0.001%/V ensures stability over wide VIN. |
| Package Thermal Resistance | θJA = 43°C/W, θJC = 5°C/W - exposed pad (Pin 17) must be soldered to PCB ground plane for reliable 150°C junction operation. |
| Junction Temp Range | –40°C to 150°C - qualified for harsh environments including avionics, under-hood automotive, and industrial motor drives. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead (5mm × 3mm) plastic DFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 17 = GND). Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB ground plane for thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (1) | Switch Node | Connects to inductor; carries pulsed high-side switch current; requires low-inductance layout to minimize EMI and voltage spikes. |
| VIN (3) | Main Input Supply | Accepts 4V–76V; bypass capacitor required between VIN and GND for stable switching and EMI suppression. |
| FBO (5) | Feedback Comparator Output | Open-drain flag indicating feedback comparator state; 20µA pull-up, 70Ω pull-down - used for fault monitoring or sequencing. |
| VPRG1/VPRG2 (6,7) | Output Voltage Selection | Configure fixed 1.8V/3.3V/5V or adjustable mode; tied to SS or GND per table - eliminates external resistors for common outputs. |
| GND (8,16,17) | Ground Reference | Pins 8/16 are signal GND; Pin 17 is exposed thermal pad - all must connect to low-impedance PCB ground plane. |
| VFB (9) | Feedback Input | Monitors divided output voltage; compared to 0.800V reference - accuracy directly determines output regulation tolerance. |
| SS (10) | Soft-Start Control | Capacitor-to-GND sets ramp time (1ms per 16.5nF); internal 0.8ms default - prevents input droop during startup. |
| ISET (11) | Peak Current Programming | Resistor-to-GND sets peak inductor current (0.24A–2.4A); 5µA current source - defines max output capability and ripple trade-off. |
| OVLO (12) | Overvoltage Lockout | Resistor-divider input; disables switching above 1.21V - protects downstream circuitry from input transients or supply faults. |
| RUN (14) | Enable/Shutdown Control | 1.21V threshold enables operation; <0.7V forces 3µA shutdown - enables precise undervoltage lockout or system-level power sequencing. |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC3637HDHC#TRPBF?
The LTC3637HDHC#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 80V, with guaranteed continuous operation from 4V to 76V. Operation beyond 76V is not specified and may cause permanent damage or degraded reliability. The device includes internal overvoltage lockout (OVLO) that can be configured via external resistor divider to disable switching before reaching the absolute maximum, enhancing system safety.
How does the ISET pin on the LTC3637HDHC#TRPBF control output current?
The ISET pin on the LTC3637HDHC#TRPBF sources a 5µA current (reduced to 1µA in sleep mode) that flows through an external resistor to ground, generating a voltage that sets the peak inductor current threshold. This threshold directly determines maximum average output current - which equals half the peak current due to the hysteretic control architecture. For example, a 100kΩ resistor yields ~1A peak current and thus ~500mA max average output.
Can the LTC3637HDHC#TRPBF operate with 100% duty cycle, and what is the significance?
Yes, the LTC3637HDHC#TRPBF supports 100% duty cycle operation using its internal P-channel high-side MOSFET. This enables low-dropout regulation when input voltage approaches output voltage - critical for maintaining system functionality during brownout events or low-battery conditions. At 100% duty cycle, the switch remains continuously on, delivering current limited only by the programmed peak current and MOSFET RDS(ON) (350mΩ typical).
What is the purpose of the FBO pin on the LTC3637HDHC#TRPBF?
The FBO (Feedback Comparator Output) pin on the LTC3637HDHC#TRPBF is an open-drain output that signals the state of the internal feedback comparator. When the output voltage falls below regulation (VFB < 0.795V), FBO pulls low; otherwise, it remains high-impedance. With a 20µA internal pull-up and 70Ω pull-down, FBO enables external fault monitoring, power-good indication, or sequencing with other regulators without additional comparators.
Does the LTC3637HDHC#TRPBF require external compensation components?
No, the LTC3637HDHC#TRPBF does not require external compensation components. Its hysteretic Burst Mode® control architecture is internally compensated, eliminating the need for loop-stability capacitors or resistors. This simplifies design, reduces bill-of-materials count, and removes tuning effort - making it ideal for rapid prototyping and space-constrained applications where layout simplicity is essential.
