Product details
Overview
LT3435EFE#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-voltage, current-mode 500kHz buck switching regulator with integrated 3A NPN power switch, 0.1Ω on-resistance, 1.25V feedback reference, and Burst Mode® operation enabling 100µA quiescent current at no load. It operates from 3.3V to 60V input and delivers regulated output in automotive 14V/42V systems, industrial power supplies, and battery-powered equipment.
For engineers reviewing the LT3435EFE#PBF datasheet, LT3435EFE#PBF pinout, LT3435EFE#PBF application, or LT3435EFE#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 60V absolute maximum input rating, programmable Power Good flag with PGFB/CT timing control, soft-start via CSS pin, synchronous capability up to 700kHz, and thermal performance enabled by the exposed-pad 16-pin TSSOP package.
Technical Context
The LT3435EFE#PBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control using an internal 500kHz oscillator, peak-current sensing, and error amplifier output (VC pin) that directly sets the switch current trip point. Its architecture enables fast transient response and stable loop compensation across wide duty cycles.
It integrates a high-voltage NPN switch with BOOST-driven saturation, achieving low conduction loss (0.1Ω typical RCE(SAT)) and load-dump tolerance to 60V. Burst Mode® operation reduces quiescent current to 100µA at light loads by cycling the control circuitry, while shutdown draws <1µA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.3V to 60V - supports direct connection to 42V automotive batteries and industrial rails without pre-regulation. |
| Switch Current Limit | 3A peak - sustains full 3A output under worst-case duty cycle conditions per patented design. |
| Quiescent Current (Burst Mode) | 100µA - enables >1-year battery life in always-on 12V/24V IoT sensors and telematics modules. |
| Switching Frequency | 425–575kHz (typ. 500kHz) - allows compact magnetics; externally synchronizable up to 700kHz for EMI reduction. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.25V ±2.5% - enables precise output regulation with standard resistor dividers; FB pin bias current ≤200nA minimizes divider error. |
| Power Good Threshold | Programmable via PGFB divider - sets output voltage monitoring threshold (e.g., 90% of VREF) with adjustable delay via CT capacitor. |
| Thermal Resistance (θJA) | 45°C/W - achieved via exposed pad soldered to PCB ground plane; θJC(PAD) = 10°C/W enables high-power dissipation in confined spaces. |
Pinout & Package
LT3435EFE#PBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 16-pin TSSOP package (FE grade) with exposed pad (Pin 17), requiring soldering to PCB ground for thermal and electrical integrity. Pin 1 is NC; Pins 2 & 5 are SW (switch emitter); Pins 3 & 4 are VIN (switch collector); Pin 17 and Pin 8 are GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pins 2, 5) | Emitter of internal NPN switch | Drives inductor; clamped negative swing ≤ –0.8V; requires external catch diode. |
| VIN (Pins 3, 4) | Collector of internal NPN switch & primary supply input | Handles high di/dt; must be decoupled locally with low-ESR ceramic capacitor to minimize voltage spikes. |
| BOOST (Pin 6) | Boost capacitor drive node | Provides >VIN voltage to saturate NPN switch; enables 0.1Ω effective on-resistance and 60V load-dump survival. |
| GND (Pins 8, 17) | Power and signal reference / thermal pad | Exposed pad (Pin 17) must be soldered to solid ground plane to achieve θJA = 45°C/W and ensure accurate load regulation. |
| FB (Pin 12) | Feedback input to error amplifier | Sets output voltage via resistive divider; 1.25V reference; input bias ≤200nA; enables frequency foldback and soft-start control below 0.9V. |
| PGFB (Pin 13) | Power Good comparator positive input | Configures output voltage threshold for PG assertion; referenced to VREF; triggers CT timing delay when exceeded. |
| CSS (Pin 9) | Soft-start current threshold input | Controls dV/dt ramp rate via external capacitor; threshold scales with FB voltage; disabled above 0.9V. |
| SHDN (Pin 15) | Shutdown enable input | Active-high logic; 1.3V threshold; draws ≤20µA; reduces total supply current to <1µA in shutdown state. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Burst Mode® Operation | Reduces no-load input current to 100µA while maintaining regulation - critical for long-life battery systems and always-on automotive ECUs. |
| Load Dump Protection | Withstands 60V transients on VIN without damage or latch-up - meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a requirements for 42V automotive applications. |
| Programmable Power Good Flag | PGFB/CT combination allows user-defined output voltage threshold (e.g., 90% of VOUT) and delay time (via capacitor) for system sequencing and fault reporting. |
| Saturating Switch Design | 0.1Ω typical RCE(SAT) achieved via BOOST-driven NPN - delivers higher efficiency than comparable MOSFET-based regulators at 3A continuous output. |
| Thermally Enhanced TSSOP | 16-pin FE package with exposed pad achieves θJA = 45°C/W - enables 3A operation in space-constrained industrial and automotive PCB layouts without heatsinks. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LT3435EFE#PBF?
The LT3435EFE#PBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 60V on the VIN pin, and it is specifically designed to withstand automotive load dump transients up to this level. Its BOOST-driven NPN switch architecture enables reliable 60V operation without external protection components, making it suitable for 42V automotive systems and industrial 48V rails.
How does Burst Mode® operation reduce quiescent current in the LT3435EFE#PBF?
Burst Mode® operation in the LT3435EFE#PBF reduces quiescent current to 100µA by cyclically disabling non-essential control circuitry during light-load conditions while maintaining output regulation. The device enters sleep mode between bursts, drawing minimal current from VIN or BIAS, then wakes to deliver energy packets - a technique validated in the LT3435EFE#PBF's Electrical Characteristics table and Typical Performance curves.
Can the LT3435EFE#PBF be synchronized to an external clock, and what is its sync range?
Yes, the LT3435EFE#PBF can be synchronized via its SYNC pin, which accepts logic-level inputs (5%–75% duty cycle) from 425kHz up to 700kHz. The sync range extends beyond its nominal 500kHz switching frequency, allowing EMI reduction through frequency alignment. Synchronization is disabled during frequency foldback (FB < 0.9V), ensuring stable operation during fault conditions.
What is the purpose of the BOOST pin on the LT3435EFE#PBF, and how is it implemented?
The BOOST pin on the LT3435EFE#PBF provides a voltage higher than VIN to fully saturate the internal NPN power switch, reducing its effective on-resistance to 0.1Ω. It is implemented using an external flying capacitor and Schottky diode (e.g., DFLS160) connected between BOOST and SW, generating a charge-pump voltage that drives the switch base - a key enabler of high efficiency at 3A output.
How is Power Good functionality configured on the LT3435EFE#PBF?
Power Good on the LT3435EFE#PBF is configured using the PGFB pin (connected to a resistive divider from VOUT) and the CT pin (connected to a timing capacitor to GND). When PGFB exceeds 90% of VREF, current sources into CT; once CT voltage reaches 1.2V (clamped), PG goes high-impedance. The delay time is t = CCT × 1.2V / 3.6µA - a fully programmable feature unique to the LT3435EFE#PBF.
