Product details
Overview
LT3460EDC-1#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 650kHz fixed-frequency step-up DC/DC converter with integrated 180mA switch, designed for low-current bias supply generation in space-constrained applications. It operates from 2.5V to 16V input, delivers up to 36V output, and features 1.255V feedback reference, <1μA shutdown current, and 1mA quiescent current. It is used in CCD bias supplies and TFT-LCD panel bias rails.
For engineers reviewing the LT3460EDC-1#TRMPBF datasheet, LT3460EDC-1#TRMPBF pinout, LT3460EDC-1#TRMPBF application, or LT3460EDC-1#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include switching frequency (650kHz), integrated switch current rating (180mA), feedback voltage accuracy (±20mV), thermal performance in DFN package (θJA = 102°C/W), and compatibility with small ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The LT3460EDC-1#TRMPBF employs constant-frequency peak current mode control with internal 1.255V reference and ramp compensation. Its 650kHz oscillator enables use of compact 22μH inductors and low-ESR ceramic capacitors while maintaining predictable EMI profiles.
It integrates a 38V-rated NPN switch with 350mV typical VCE(SAT) at 100mA, supports soft-start via RC filter on SHDN, and uses external resistor divider for output regulation. The feedback loop includes internal RC/CC compensation but requires optional feed-forward capacitor (CF) for stable operation across load and input variations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 650kHz - Enables use of sub-3mm inductors and 1μF ceramic output caps; reduces filtering complexity vs lower-frequency boosters. |
| Max Output Voltage | 36V - Supports high-voltage bias rails for CCDs, LCD gate drivers, and medical sensor interfaces. |
| Integrated Switch Current | 180mA - Sufficient for 70mA @ 12V (typical 5V→12V conversion) with margin; limits max continuous output power to ~2.5W. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.255V ±20mV - Sets output via R1/R2 divider; tolerance directly impacts output accuracy (e.g., ±1.6% error at VOUT=12V). |
| Quiescent Current | 1mA - Enables battery-backed systems to maintain >100-hour runtime at light loads without compromising startup speed. |
| Shutdown Current | <1μA - Allows true off-state power isolation in always-on subsystems like sensor wake-up circuits. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 16V - Accepts single Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), 5V rail, or 12V industrial bus without pre-regulation. |
Pinout & Package
LT3460EDC-1#TRMPBF is housed in a 6-lead, 2mm × 2mm plastic DFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 7 = GND). The package provides low thermal resistance (θJA = 102°C/W) and supports reflow-compatible assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pin 3) | Switch Node | Connects to inductor and Schottky diode anode; high dv/dt node requiring minimal trace area to limit EMI radiation. |
| GND (Exposed Pad, Pin 7) | Power Ground | Primary thermal and electrical return path; must be soldered to large PCB ground plane for thermal dissipation and noise control. |
| FB (Pin 1) | Feedback Input | Senses output via resistor divider; high-impedance (5–80nA bias) node sensitive to noise-requires short, shielded routing. |
| SHDN (Pin 6) | Enable/Soft-Start | Active-high logic input; 1.5V threshold enables device; RC network here controls output voltage ramp rate during startup. |
| VIN (Pin 4) | Input Supply | Accepts 2.5–16V; requires local 4.7μF ceramic bypass capacitor placed within 2mm of pin to suppress high-frequency ripple. |
| NC (Pins 2 & 5) | No-Connect | Internally unconnected; recommended to tie to GND for improved thermal conduction and EMI shielding. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 650kHz Fixed Switching | Enables consistent EMI filtering design and predictable noise spectrum; avoids variable-frequency jitter in timing-critical analog bias rails. |
| 180mA Integrated Switch | Eliminates external transistor and drive circuitry; reduces BOM count and layout area in compact DFN footprint. |
| 1.255V Precision Feedback | Supports ±1.2% output regulation over temperature and line; critical for stable CCD pixel charge transfer and LCD VCOM stability. |
| <1μA Shutdown Current | Permits zero-power standby in battery-powered diagnostic equipment between measurement cycles. |
| DFN Thermal Performance | θJA = 102°C/W enables 180mA continuous operation at 70°C ambient without derating when exposed pad is properly soldered. |
Applications
| CCD Bias Supply | TFT-LCD Gate Driver Bias |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-up DC/DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3461ESC6#TRMPBF | 1.3MHz switching, 300mA switch, integrated Schottky, same SC70/DFN footprint options | Higher efficiency at >50mA loads; eliminates external diode; not pin-compatible due to different pinout (SW/FB swapped) | Select when higher output current or reduced component count is required; verify layout revision for pin mapping. |
| LTC3400EDC#TRMPBF | Synchronous rectification, 1.2MHz, 600mA switch, 0.85V min VIN, no integrated diode | Better light-load efficiency (19μA IQ); requires external diode; incompatible feedback reference (0.6V) | Choose for ultra-low IQ battery apps below 10mA; redesign feedback divider and output diode; not drop-in. |
Compared with LT3460EDC-1#TRMPBF, LT3460EDC-1#TRMPBF offers optimized 650kHz operation for low-noise bias rails, while LT3461ESC6#TRMPBF trades noise for higher current and integration, and LTC3400EDC#TRMPBF sacrifices simplicity for superior light-load efficiency and wider input range.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage achievable with LT3460EDC-1#TRMPBF?
The LT3460EDC-1#TRMPBF supports up to 36V output voltage, limited by its 38V-rated internal switch. This allows reliable generation of common high-voltage rails such as +24V for industrial sensors or +30V for LCD gate drivers. Operation beyond 36V risks exceeding switch breakdown voltage and is not characterized or guaranteed.
Does LT3460EDC-1#TRMPBF require an external Schottky diode?
Yes, LT3460EDC-1#TRMPBF requires an external Schottky diode connected between SW and VOUT. Unlike later-generation parts (e.g., LT3461), it does not integrate the diode. A low-VF, fast-recovery Schottky such as CMDSH2-3 is recommended to minimize conduction loss and ensure stable regulation at full load.
Can LT3460EDC-1#TRMPBF operate from a single-cell Li-ion battery?
Yes, LT3460EDC-1#TRMPBF operates from 2.5V minimum input, making it compatible with discharged single-cell Li-ion (2.7V–4.2V). At 2.7V input, it can deliver 12V/40mA with >70% efficiency using standard 22μH inductor and ceramic caps, as verified in Typical Application TA07.
What is the purpose of the NC pins on LT3460EDC-1#TRMPBF?
The NC pins (Pins 2 and 5) on LT3460EDC-1#TRMPBF are not connected to internal circuitry. Per the datasheet, they should be tied to GND to improve thermal conduction through the package and reduce EMI susceptibility. Leaving them floating may degrade thermal performance and increase radiated emissions.
How does the feedback compensation work in LT3460EDC-1#TRMPBF?
LT3460EDC-1#TRMPBF includes internal RC/CC compensation components, but external feed-forward capacitor CF (e.g., 22pF) from VOUT to FB is required for stable loop response across operating conditions. Without CF, phase margin drops to ~20°; with CF = 22pF, it improves to ~60°, as shown in Figure 4 of the LT3460 datasheet.
