The LTC3601IUD#PBF is a 1.5 A step-down buck converter from Analog Devices, designed to generate a regulated adjustable output from a 4 V to 15 V input rail.
Output range and thermal envelope
The adjustable output spans 0.6 V to 14.52 V, set by a resistor divider on the feedback pin. This covers core voltages for FPGAs and ASICs at the low end, and intermediate bus rails at the high end, all from the same BOM position.
Active lifecycle and compliance
The part is ROHS3 compliant, meaning no exemptions for lead, cadmium, or phthalates, which simplifies EU and California regulatory filing. Supplied in tube packaging (the standard 16-QFN carrier for low-to-medium volume assembly). For reel quantities, confirm the tape-and-reel order code variant with the distributor at RFQ time.
