Product details
Overview
LTC3644EY#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a quad-channel, monolithic synchronous step-down regulator with 1MHz fixed switching frequency, supporting up to 1.25A per channel across input voltages from 2.7V to 17V and adjustable output voltages from 0.6V to VIN. It integrates 300mΩ P-Channel and 80mΩ N-Channel MOSFETs, delivers ≥93% efficiency, and operates in ultralow-quiescent-current Burst Mode (<10µA with all channels enabled) for battery-powered handheld scanners and portable cameras.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3644EY#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3644EY#TRPBF pinout, LTC3644EY#TRPBF application, or LTC3644EY#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 1MHz/±50% sync-capable oscillator, ±1% output voltage accuracy, phase-shift programmability between channel pairs, no-load IQ <10µA, and configurable multi-output power stages (e.g., dual 2.5A or triple 2.5A/1.25A/1.25A).
Technical Context
The LTC3644EY#TRPBF employs peak current-mode control with internal slope compensation, enabling stable operation up to 100% duty cycle in dropout. Its four independent buck regulators share a common 1MHz oscillator but support phase-shifted operation via the PHASE pin (0° or 180° between channel pairs) to reduce input ripple.
Each channel features dedicated RUN, FB, SW, and PGOOD pins, with configurable slave mode (FBx tied to INTVCC) to combine outputs-enabling dual 2.5A (channels 1+2 or 3+4), triple 2.5A/1.25A/1.25A, or quad 1.25A configurations. MODE/SYNC selects Burst Mode (≤10µA IQ), pulse-skipping, or forced-continuous operation with ≤50mVpp output ripple.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | Fixed 1.00MHz (±50% sync range); enables compact 3.3–6.8µH inductors and EMI filtering at known fundamental. |
| Output Current per Channel | 1.25A continuous; supports scalable multi-output configurations including dual 2.5A using shared inductors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 17V; accommodates wide-range industrial and battery inputs (e.g., 3.3V–15V Li-ion stacks). |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.6V to VIN; adjustable via external resistor divider (VOUT = 0.6V × [1 + R2/R1]) for precise core/logic rail generation. |
| Quiescent Current | <10µA with all channels enabled in Burst Mode; extends battery life in always-on portable systems. |
| Feedback Voltage Accuracy | ±1% over –40°C to 125°C; ensures tight regulation of critical processor I/O or memory rails. |
| Integrated MOSFETs | 300mΩ P-Channel / 80mΩ N-Channel; eliminates external FETs and gate drivers, reducing BOM count and layout area. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 36-ball BGA, 5mm × 5mm × 1.72mm, RoHS-compliant SAC305 finish, MSL Level 3, rated for –40°C to 125°C junction temperature.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FB1–FB4 | Per-channel feedback input | Connects to resistor divider tap; sets VOUT = 0.6V × (1 + R2/R1); tying FB2/FB3 to INTVCC configures slave operation. |
| RUN1–RUN4 | Per-channel enable input | Logic-high activates regulator; must not float; allows independent sequencing or fault isolation per rail. |
| SW1–SW4 | Per-channel switch node | Connects to inductor; high dv/dt node requiring tight loop layout and Kelvin grounding for stability. |
| PGOOD1–PGOOD4 | Per-channel open-drain power-good indicator | Pulled high when VOUT within ±7.5%; 32-cycle blanking prevents false triggers during transients. |
| MODE/SYNC | Mode select & external clock input | Tied to INTVCC = Burst Mode; GND = pulse-skipping; 1V–(VINTVCC–1.2V) = forced-continuous; accepts external clock for synchronization. |
| PHASE | Inter-channel phase control | GND = 0° phase shift (ch1/2 & ch3/4 in-phase); INTVCC = 180° shift (reduces input ripple); enables 90° via modulated external clock. |
| SVIN | Signal VIN supply for INTVCC LDO | Powers internal logic; must be connected to highest VINx or via diode-OR network to ensure stable 5V INTVCC. |
| INTVCC | Internal 5V LDO output | Bypass with ≥4.7µF ceramic capacitor; supplies gate drive and control circuitry; used as reference for FB/PGOOD thresholds. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultralow quiescent current | <10µA with all channels active in Burst Mode-critical for multi-rail battery systems requiring weeks of standby time. |
| Configurable multi-output topology | Supports quad 1.25A, dual 2.5A, or triple 2.5A/1.25A/1.25A via pin-strapping; eliminates need for multiple discrete regulators. |
| Phase-shift programmability | 0° or 180° inter-pair phase shift reduces input capacitor RMS current by up to 30%, lowering thermal stress and size. |
| Full dropout operation | 100% duty cycle capability maintains regulation down to VIN ≈ VOUT + 0.3V-essential for brownout resilience in wide-input systems. |
| Integrated power MOSFETs | 300mΩ P-Channel / 80mΩ N-Channel switches deliver ≥93% peak efficiency at 1.25A, eliminating external FET selection and layout complexity. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad-output synchronous step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPQ4436GL-A | Quad 1.2A, 2.5–18V input, 2MHz fixed frequency; no phase-shift control; only 3.3V/5V fixed outputs or external resistor-programmable VOUT. | Lacks configurable multi-output topologies (no dual 2.5A/triple modes); limited to fixed or single-adjustable outputs per channel. | Choose MPQ4436GL-A for cost-sensitive, fixed-rail designs where phase control and flexible output combining are unnecessary. |
| LTC3644EY-2#TRPBF | Same package and pinout; 2.25MHz switching frequency (vs. 1MHz); higher-frequency operation enables smaller inductors (1.2–2.2µH) and reduced output capacitance. | Better suited for space-constrained layouts needing minimal magnetics; slightly higher light-load IQ (~12µA) in Burst Mode. | Choose LTC3644EY-2#TRPBF when board area is critical and 2.25MHz operation aligns with system EMI requirements-no PCB changes required. |
Compared with MPQ4436GL-A, LTC3644EY#TRPBF offers superior configurability (multi-output topologies, phase shift, 1MHz/2.25MHz option) and lower IQ; compared with LTC3644EY-2#TRPBF, it trades higher-frequency efficiency for lower EMI fundamentals and relaxed inductor sizing.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC3644EY#TRPBF?
The LTC3644EY#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 17V on VIN1–VIN4 and SVIN pins. It incorporates VIN overvoltage lockout that suspends operation above 19V (rising) with 400mV hysteresis, protecting internal MOSFETs from transient spikes. Operation resumes automatically once VIN drops below 18.6V.
Can the LTC3644EY#TRPBF generate dual 2.5A outputs, and how is this configured?
Yes, the LTC3644EY#TRPBF can be configured for dual 2.5A outputs by connecting VIN1=VIN2, SW1=SW2, and FB2 to INTVCC (making channel 2 a slave to channel 1); similarly, VIN3=VIN4, SW3=SW4, and FB3 to INTVCC configures channel 4 as slave to channel 3. This uses only two inductors and achieves 2.5A per output with shared current sensing.
Does the LTC3644EY#TRPBF support external frequency synchronization, and what is the capture range?
Yes, the LTC3644EY#TRPBF supports external clock synchronization via the MODE/SYNC pin. When driven by an external oscillator, it locks to frequencies within ±50% of its nominal switching frequency-i.e., 0.5–1.5MHz for LTC3644EY#TRPBF-enabling EMI reduction through spread-spectrum alignment or system-level clock domain synchronization.
What is the purpose of the PHASE pin on the LTC3644EY#TRPBF, and how does it affect system performance?
The PHASE pin on the LTC3644EY#TRPBF selects 0° (GND) or 180° (INTVCC) phase shift between channel pairs (1/2 vs. 3/4). This reduces input capacitor RMS current and input voltage ripple by up to 30%, lowering thermal stress and enabling smaller, lower-cost bulk capacitors-especially valuable in high-current, multi-rail systems.
How does the LTC3644EY#TRPBF achieve ultralow quiescent current, and what is the typical value?
The LTC3644EY#TRPBF achieves ultralow quiescent current via Burst Mode® operation: when load current drops below threshold, it enters sleep mode with both power switches off, drawing only <10µA from SVIN with all four channels enabled. This is measured at no load, 12V input, and 25°C ambient-critical for extending battery runtime in always-on devices.
