PRODUCT OVERVIEW

What Is the LTC3638HMSE#TRPBF?

LTC3638HMSE#TRPBF is a high-efficiency step-down DC/DC regulator from Analog Devices with an internal high-side power switch, designed to draw only 12µA of typical DC supply current while maintaining a regulated output voltage at no load[reference:0]. The device is part of the LTC3638 family, which is recommended for new designs and is particularly suited for always-on and battery-powered systems where low quiescent current is critical[reference:1].

The regulator operates over a wide 4V to 140V input voltage range, accommodating a broad spectrum of high-voltage power sources including industrial buses, telecom rails, and automotive systems[reference:2]. It can supply up to 250mA of load current, with a programmable peak current limit that allows optimization of efficiency, output ripple, and component size. The maximum output current can be adjusted from 20mA to 250mA via a single external resistor on the ISET pin[reference:3].

The LTC3638 uses Burst Mode® operation, an integrated power switch, low quiescent current, and programmable peak current limiting to achieve high efficiency across a broad range of load currents[reference:4]. The device requires no external compensation and supports 100% duty cycle low dropout operation. A precise RUN pin threshold and internal/external soft-start guarantee well-controlled power system start-up, while a feedback comparator output enables multiple LTC3638 devices to be paralleled for higher current applications[reference:5].

The LTC3638HMSE#TRPBF is the H-grade version in a thermally enhanced 16-lead MSOP package with four pins removed (12 active leads plus an exposed pad). It is specified for operation over a –40°C to +150°C junction temperature range, making it suitable for automotive and other high-temperature environments[reference:6]. The device is RoHS compliant, REACH unaffected, and in active production.

4V to 140V Wide Input Range Internal low-resistance power MOSFET with no compensation required and 100% duty cycle low dropout operation.
12µA Quiescent Current Burst Mode® operation maintains high efficiency at light loads, with programmable peak current limit from 20mA to 250mA for design flexibility.

DEVICE HIGHLIGHTS

Key Features and Benefits of LTC3638HMSE#TRPBF

Wide 4V to 140V Input Range

Operates from 4V to 140V input with an internal low-resistance power MOSFET, supporting high-voltage industrial, telecom, avionics, and automotive power sources.

Ultra-Low Quiescent Current (12µA)

12µA typical DC supply current in no-load regulation enables always-on and battery-powered systems to conserve energy during standby.

Programmable Peak Current Limit (20mA to 250mA)

A single resistor on the ISET pin sets the peak current limit, providing a simple method to optimize efficiency and reduce output ripple and component size.

No Compensation & 100% Duty Cycle

The internal control loop requires no external compensation, and 100% duty cycle low dropout operation maximizes usable input voltage range.

Paralleling & Programmable Output

A feedback comparator output (FBO) enables multiple LTC3638s to be paralleled for higher current. Output voltage is programmable to 1.8V, 3.3V, 5V, or adjustable via VPRG1/VPRG2 pins.

Precise RUN & OVLO Protection

Precise RUN pin threshold and programmable input overvoltage lockout (OVLO) ensure controlled start-up and robust protection against input transients.

Circuit Considerations for LTC3638HMSE#TRPBF

Output Voltage & Current Limit Programming

The LTC3638HMSE#TRPBF offers flexible configuration for output voltage and current limit:

  • Output Voltage (VPRG1/VPRG2 Pins): Select a fixed 5V output by connecting VPRG1 to SS and VPRG2 to GND. For 3.3V, connect VPRG1 to GND and VPRG2 to SS. For 1.8V, connect both VPRG1 and VPRG2 to SS. For an adjustable output, short both pins to GND and use an external resistor divider from VOUT to the VFB pin[reference:7].
  • Peak Current Limit (ISET Pin): A resistor from ISET to GND sets the peak current comparator threshold. Leave the pin floating for maximum peak current (575mA typical) or short to GND for minimum peak current (60mA typical). The maximum output current is one-half the peak current[reference:8].
  • Soft-Start (SS Pin): A capacitor to ground sets the output voltage ramp time (1ms per 6.25nF). If left floating, an internal 1ms soft-start is used[reference:9].
  • Paralleling (FBO Pin): The feedback comparator output (FBO) can be connected to the VFB pins of additional LTC3638 devices to combine output current for higher-power applications[reference:10].

PCB and System-Level Guidance

High-voltage buck regulator performance depends on layout and component selection:

  • Input Capacitor: Tie a ceramic bypass capacitor between the VIN pin and GND, placed as close as possible to the device[reference:11].
  • Catch Diode: An external catch diode is required for the non-synchronous topology. Connect the cathode to SW (Pin 1) and the anode to GND.
  • Inductor Selection: Choose the inductor based on the programmed peak current limit, switching frequency, and acceptable output ripple.
  • RUN and OVLO Dividers: Use resistor dividers from VIN to RUN (Pin 14) and OVLO (Pin 12) to set precise undervoltage and overvoltage lockout thresholds. Tie OVLO to GND if overvoltage protection is not used[reference:12].
  • Exposed Pad: The exposed pad (Pin 17) must be soldered to the PCB ground plane for rated thermal performance[reference:13].
  • Verify the recommended PCB footprint from the official datasheet prior to production.
