Product details
Overview
LTC3642IDD-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 50mA output current at a fixed 5V output. It operates from 4.5V to 45V input, tolerates 60V transients, and draws only 12µA quiescent current in Burst Mode® operation-enabling long battery life in industrial sensors and 4–20mA loop-powered devices.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3642IDD-5#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3642IDD-5#TRPBF pinout, LTC3642IDD-5#TRPBF application, or LTC3642IDD-5#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5V fixed output, 8-pin 3mm × 3mm DFN package with exposed thermal pad, programmable peak current limit (25–115mA), precise RUN pin threshold (1.21V rising), and internal soft-start with external capacitor option.
Technical Context
The LTC3642IDD-5#TRPBF implements a hysteretic Burst Mode® control architecture with an internal 0.8V feedback reference and 5mV comparator hysteresis, enabling automatic transition between active switching and ultra-low-power sleep cycles. Its peak current limit is set via ISET pin biasing (1µA sourced), and RUN pin logic (1.21V enable threshold, 110mV hysteresis) supports precise power sequencing.
It integrates both P-channel high-side and N-channel low-side power switches (RON = 3.0Ω / 1.5Ω), eliminates external compensation, and supports 100% duty-cycle low-dropout operation. Input overvoltage lockout (47V rising) and undervoltage lockout (3.8V rising) provide robust protection against supply anomalies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 45V - supports wide-range industrial and automotive supplies, including 24V and 36V rails. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5V ±1.2% - guaranteed over –40°C to 125°C junction temperature, no external resistor divider required. |
| Max Output Current | 50mA - average load capability derived from 115mA peak inductor current limit (ISET floating). |
| Quiescent Current | 12µA typical in Burst Mode® - enables multi-year battery operation in always-on sensor nodes. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.800V ±0.8% - precision bandgap reference with 3–7mV hysteresis for stable regulation under light loads. |
| Switching Architecture | Synchronous buck with internal MOSFETs - eliminates external diode, improves efficiency at low loads, reduces BOM count. |
| Package | 8-lead 3mm × 3mm DFN with exposed GND pad - thermally enhanced (θJA = 43°C/W), requires PCB soldering of exposed pad for thermal performance. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic DFN (3mm × 3mm, 0.75mm height), exposed thermal pad (Pin 9) tied to GND. Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pin 1) | Switch node | Connection point between internal high-side and low-side MOSFETs and external inductor; carries high dv/dt switching waveform. |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Main input supply | Accepts 4.5V–45V input; requires local 1µF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND for stability and EMI suppression. |
| ISET (Pin 3) | Peak current programming | 1µA current source sets peak inductor current from 25mA (shorted) to 115mA (open); determines max output current and component sizing. |
| SS (Pin 4) | Soft-start control | 5µA current source charges external capacitor to control output voltage ramp rate; default internal soft-start is 0.75ms if floating. |
| RUN (Pin 5) | Enable/disable control | Logic input: >1.21V enables operation; <0.7V forces shutdown (3µA IQ); 110mV hysteresis prevents chatter during brownout. |
| VOUT/VFB (Pin 6) | Output feedback | Direct connection to 5V output for fixed-version regulation; senses voltage against 0.8V internal reference. |
| HYST (Pin 7) | Run hysteresis open-drain | Pulled low when RUN < 1.2V; used externally to increase RUN pin hysteresis via resistor to VIN or RUN. |
| GND (Pin 8 + Exposed Pad Pin 9) | Power and signal ground | Primary ground return path; exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal dissipation and noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external compensation required | Internal control loop stability eliminates need for feedback compensation network-reduces design time and BOM cost. |
| Low dropout operation (100% duty cycle) | Maintains regulation even when VIN drops to VOUT level-critical for battery end-of-life operation in portable instruments. |
| Programmable peak current limit | Adjustable 25–115mA via single resistor on ISET pin-optimizes inductor/capacitor size and ripple for specific load requirements. |
| Precise RUN pin threshold with hysteresis | 1.21V enable threshold with 110mV hysteresis ensures clean, chatter-free power-up/down in noisy industrial environments. |
| 60V transient tolerance | Withstands 60V input surges without damage-meets IEC 61000-4-5 surge immunity requirements for industrial field equipment. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62840DLCR | Lower IQ (300nA), but 2.7–6.5V input range; 50mA output at 5V; WSON-6 package (2mm × 2mm). | Not suitable for >6.5V inputs-cannot replace LTC3642IDD-5#TRPBF in 12V+ systems or 4–20mA loops with high compliance voltage. | Select only for ultra-low-power, low-input-voltage applications where 60V surge tolerance is unnecessary. |
| MAX17552ATC+ | 4.5–60V input, 50mA output, adjustable/fixed 5V versions; 12-lead TDFN; higher IQ (25µA) and larger footprint (3mm × 4mm). | Includes spread-spectrum and more comprehensive protection (overtemperature, short-circuit), but lacks programmable peak current limit. | Prefer when system-level EMC or fault coverage exceeds LTC3642IDD-5#TRPBF capabilities, and board area allows larger package. |
Compared with TPS62840DLCR and MAX17552ATC+, the LTC3642IDD-5#TRPBF uniquely balances 45V max input, 60V surge tolerance, 12µA IQ, and programmable current limiting in a 3mm × 3mm DFN-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability industrial and automotive auxiliary rails.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the LTC3642IDD-5#TRPBF can withstand without damage?
The LTC3642IDD-5#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input rating of 60V and includes internal overvoltage lockout that disables switching above 47V (typical). This allows the device to survive automotive load-dump transients and industrial surge events while maintaining functional integrity-provided the 60V limit is not exceeded.
Does the LTC3642IDD-5#TRPBF require external compensation components?
No, the LTC3642IDD-5#TRPBF uses a proprietary hysteretic Burst Mode® control architecture that achieves inherent stability without external compensation networks. This eliminates the need for feedback capacitors or resistors, reducing bill-of-materials count and layout complexity compared to voltage-mode or current-mode controllers.
How is the output voltage set on the LTC3642IDD-5#TRPBF?
The LTC3642IDD-5#TRPBF is a fixed-output variant: its VOUT/VFB pin (Pin 6) connects directly to the 5V output node, referencing an internal 0.800V precision bandgap. No external resistor divider is needed-unlike the adjustable LTC3642-ADJ version-simplifying design and improving accuracy over temperature.
Can the LTC3642IDD-5#TRPBF operate with 100% duty cycle?
Yes, the LTC3642IDD-5#TRPBF supports 100% duty-cycle operation, allowing continuous conduction mode regulation even when input voltage drops to the output voltage level (e.g., VIN = 5V). This feature is essential for maintaining regulation during battery discharge or low-line conditions in portable instrumentation.
What is the purpose of the HYST pin on the LTC3642IDD-5#TRPBF?
The HYST pin (Pin 7) is an open-drain output pulled low when the RUN pin voltage falls below 1.2V. It provides external hysteresis control-e.g., by connecting a resistor from HYST to RUN-to widen the effective enable/disable threshold window, preventing oscillation during slow-rising input voltages or noisy supply conditions.
