Product details
Overview
LT3460ES5#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 1.3 MHz fixed-frequency step-up DC/DC converter in a 5-lead TSOT-23 package, featuring a 300 mA integrated switch, 1.255 V feedback reference, and operation from 2.5 V to 16 V input. It delivers up to 12 V at 70 mA from a 5 V supply and supports high-voltage boost applications up to 36 V output - commonly used in CCD bias supplies and TFT-LCD panel power.
For engineers reviewing the LT3460ES5#TRMPBF datasheet, LT3460ES5#TRMPBF pinout, LT3460ES5#TRMPBF application, or LT3460ES5#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include switching frequency stability (1.3 MHz), integrated 300 mA switch rating, SC70/TSOT-23 thermal performance (θJA = 256°C/W in free air), shutdown current (<1 μA), and feedback accuracy (±1.6% over temperature).
Technical Context
The LT3460ES5#TRMPBF employs constant-frequency peak current-mode control with an internal 1.255 V reference and oscillator set to 1.3 MHz. Its PWM comparator compares a ramp-compensated switch-current signal against the error amplifier output, enabling tight line/load regulation without external compensation in basic configurations.
It integrates a 38 V-rated NPN switch with 320 mV typical VCE(SAT) at 250 mA, supports soft-start via RC filtering on SHDN, and uses external resistor divider feedback for programmable output voltage - all within a thermally enhanced 5-lead TSOT-23 package with exposed pad not present (unlike DFN variants).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 1.3 MHz - enables use of sub-3 mm inductors and low-profile ceramic capacitors; reduces EMI filtering burden. |
| Max Output Voltage | 36 V - supports high-bias applications like CCD sensors and LCD gate drivers without external HV transistors. |
| Integrated Switch Rating | 300 mA - sufficient for 70 mA @ 12 V (≈85% efficiency) with margin for transient loads and layout losses. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 16 V - compatible with single Li-ion, dual alkaline, or industrial 12 V rails without pre-regulation. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.255 V ±1.6% - sets output via R1/R2 divider; enables precise 5 V, 12 V, or custom bias voltages. |
| Shutdown Current | <1 μA - preserves battery life in always-on systems such as medical diagnostics or portable imaging. |
| Quiescent Current | 1 mA - balances light-load efficiency and startup responsiveness in intermittent-duty applications. |
Pinout & Package
The LT3460ES5#TRMPBF is housed in a 5-lead plastic TSOT-23 (S5) package (JEDEC MO-193), 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.0 mm, with no exposed thermal pad. Pin 1 is marked by a dot or beveled edge; leads are gull-wing, lead-free (Pb-free) finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pin 1) | Switch Collector | Connects to inductor and Schottky diode anode; high dv/dt node requiring minimal trace length and ground guard ring. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power Ground | Main return path for switch current and IC bias; must tie directly to local ground plane with low-inductance connection. |
| FB (Pin 3) | Feedback Input | Senses divided output voltage; high-impedance node (5–80 nA bias) sensitive to noise - keep traces short and away from SW. |
| SHDN (Pin 4) | Enable/Soft-Start Control | Active-high logic input; 1.5 V threshold enables device; RC filter here controls startup slew rate and inrush limiting. |
| VIN (Pin 5) | Input Supply | Connects to input capacitor (≥4.7 μF ceramic); requires local 0.1 μF bypass close to pin for high-frequency noise suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1.3 MHz Fixed Switching Frequency | Enables compact magnetics and low-profile passive selection while maintaining predictable EMI spectrum for FCC/CE compliance. |
| 300 mA Integrated NPN Switch | Eliminates external transistor and driver, reducing BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained modules like digital cameras. |
| 1.255 V Precision Feedback Reference | Supports ±1.5% output regulation across temperature and line/load conditions without trimming or calibration. |
| <1 μA Shutdown Current | Extends battery runtime in standby modes for portable medical or test equipment where duty cycle is <1%. |
| Internal Soft-Start via SHDN Pin | Prevents output overshoot and inrush current spikes during power-up - no extra components required beyond optional RC filter. |

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 | Includes integrated 38 V Schottky diode; same 1.3 MHz frequency and 300 mA switch; SC70-6 package. | Reduces external component count (no external diode needed); slightly larger footprint but better thermal dissipation (θJA = 270°C/W). | Select when minimizing bill-of-materials and board area is prioritized over TSOT-23 footprint compatibility. |
| LTC3400EDC#TRMPBF | Synchronous rectification (no external diode); 1.2 MHz frequency; 600 mA switch; DFN-6 (2 mm × 2 mm) package. | Higher efficiency at medium loads (>20 mA); requires different layout and feedback network; not pin-compatible. | Choose for battery-powered systems needing >90% efficiency at 30–100 mA loads, accepting redesign effort. |
Compared with LT3460ES5#TRMPBF, LT3461ESC6#TRMPBF simplifies design by integrating the Schottky diode but increases package size, while LTC3400EDC#TRMPBF improves light-to-mid load efficiency via synchronous operation but demands layout revision and lacks direct pin mapping.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage achievable with the LT3460ES5#TRMPBF?
The LT3460ES5#TRMPBF supports output voltages up to 36 V, limited by its internal 38 V-rated switch and external diode/capacitor ratings. In practice, designs generating 12 V at 70 mA or 36 V at 4 mA are validated per the datasheet; higher outputs require careful attention to voltage derating and layout parasitics.
Does the LT3460ES5#TRMPBF require an external Schottky diode?
Yes, the LT3460ES5#TRMPBF requires an external Schottky diode (e.g., CMDSH2-3) connected between SW and VOUT. Unlike the LT3461 variant, it does not integrate a diode; omission will prevent proper boost operation and may damage the IC due to reverse current flow.
Can the LT3460ES5#TRMPBF operate from a 2.5 V input to generate 5 V output?
Yes, the LT3460ES5#TRMPBF operates down to 2.5 V input and can generate 5 V output using a standard resistor divider on FB (e.g., 15 kΩ/130 kΩ). Efficiency exceeds 75% at 50 mA load per typical curves, making it suitable for Li-ion or dual-AA powered 5 V subsystems.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the LT3460ES5#TRMPBF in standard layout?
The LT3460ES5#TRMPBF has θJA = 256°C/W in free air and 120°C/W on a PCB with ground plane per datasheet. Real-world performance depends heavily on copper area under GND pin and thermal vias; no exposed pad is present, so heatsinking relies solely on lead-frame conduction.
Is the LT3460ES5#TRMPBF pin-compatible with the LT3460-1 variants?
No, the LT3460ES5#TRMPBF (5-pin TSOT-23) is not pin-compatible with LT3460-1 variants (6-pin SC70 or DFN), which feature different pin counts, assignments (e.g., NC pins), and 650 kHz switching frequency. Swapping requires PCB redesign and firmware timing adjustments.
