Product details
Overview
LT3460ESC6-1#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 650kHz fixed-frequency step-up DC/DC converter in a 6-lead SC70 package, featuring an integrated 180mA switch, 1.255V feedback reference, and 2.5V–16V input range. It delivers up to 36V output voltage and supports 12V/70mA boost from 5V in compact camera and CCD bias applications.
For engineers reviewing the LT3460ESC6-1#TRMPBF datasheet, LT3460ESC6-1#TRMPBF pinout, LT3460ESC6-1#TRMPBF application, or LT3460ESC6-1#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include switching frequency (650kHz), integrated switch current rating (180mA), feedback voltage accuracy (±20mV), shutdown current (<1μA), and SC70 thermal performance (θJA = 400°C/W in free air).
Technical Context
The LT3460ESC6-1#TRMPBF uses constant-frequency peak current mode control with internal ramp compensation and a 1.255V precision reference. Its PWM comparator compares sensed switch current plus ramp against error amplifier output, enabling stable regulation across line and load variations.
It integrates a 38V-rated NPN switch with 220mV typical VCE(SAT) at 100mA and supports soft-start via RC filtering on SHDN. The device operates over –40°C to +85°C and features <1μA shutdown current and 25nA typical FB bias current for low-power bias supply designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 650kHz - Enables use of small 22μH inductors and low-profile ceramic capacitors; reduces EMI filtering burden vs lower-frequency converters. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 16V - Supports single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), 3.3V/5V rails, and industrial 12V inputs without external regulators. |
| Output Voltage Range | Up to 36V - Suitable for CCD bias, TFT-LCD gate drivers, and XDSL line drivers requiring high-voltage rails. |
| Integrated Switch Current | 180mA - Limits maximum continuous output current in boost topology; defines practical power ceiling (~1W at 12V out). |
| Feedback Reference | 1.255V ±20mV - Sets output via external resistor divider; tolerance directly impacts output accuracy (e.g., ±1.6% at VOUT = 12V). |
| Quiescent Current | 1mA typical - Enables battery-backed systems to maintain >100-hour runtime in active boost mode with modest load. |
| Shutdown Current | <1μA - Allows true off-state power gating in portable equipment; eliminates standby drain in always-on bias supplies. |
Pinout & Package
LT3460ESC6-1#TRMPBF is housed in a 6-lead plastic SC70 package (LAAF marking), 1.15–1.35mm height, with exposed pad not present (unlike DFN variant). Thermal resistance is 400°C/W in free air and 270°C/W over ground plane.
| 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 to limit EMI. |
| 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 resistor divider output; 1.255V reference sets VOUT = 1.255V × (1 + R1/R2); sensitive node requiring short, shielded routing. |
| SHDN (Pin 4) | Enable/Soft-Start Control | Logic-high (>1.5V) enables operation; logic-low (<0.4V) disables with <1μA leakage; RC filter adds controlled startup ramp. |
| VIN (Pin 6) | Input Supply | Accepts 2.5–16V; requires local 4.7μF ceramic bypass capacitor placed within 2mm of pin to stabilize input during switching transitions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 650kHz Fixed Switching Frequency | Enables consistent EMI profile and predictable noise filtering; avoids audible frequencies while supporting sub-2mm inductors. |
| 180mA Integrated NPN Switch | Eliminates external transistor and base drive circuitry; simplifies layout and reduces BOM count for low-to-mid power boost stages. |
| 1.255V Precision Feedback Reference | Provides ±1.6% output accuracy with standard 1% resistors; enables stable 12V, 15V, or 24V bias rails without trimming. |
| <1μA Shutdown Current | Permits zero-drain sleep mode in medical diagnostics and battery-powered imaging modules between acquisition cycles. |
| SC70 Package (1mm height) | Supports ultra-thin camera modules and space-constrained PCBs where DFN or SOT-23 height exceeds mechanical envelope. |
Applications
| Digital Camera Power | CCD Bias Supply |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3460EDC-1#TRPBF | Same electrical specs but in 2mm × 2mm DFN with exposed GND pad; θJA = 102°C/W vs 400°C/W for SC70. | Better thermal performance enables higher ambient operation (e.g., inside sealed enclosures) or sustained 100mA loads. | Select when board space allows DFN and thermal headroom is constrained; avoid if height <1mm is mandatory. |
| LT3461ESC6#TRMPBF | Includes integrated 38V Schottky diode; same 1.3MHz/650kHz option but 300mA switch; feedback reference 1.25V. | Reduces external component count (no external diode needed); higher switch current supports 100mA+ outputs. | Choose when minimizing bill-of-materials and improving efficiency >85% at 50mA is prioritized over strict footprint compatibility. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage achievable with the LT3460ESC6-1#TRMPBF?
The LT3460ESC6-1#TRMPBF supports output voltages up to 36V, limited by its 38V-rated internal NPN switch and external component voltage ratings. This makes it suitable for CCD bias, TFT-LCD gate drivers, and XDSL line drivers. Output voltage is set externally via resistor divider on the FB pin using the 1.255V reference, and stability at high VOUT depends on proper selection of high-voltage diodes and capacitors.
Does the LT3460ESC6-1#TRMPBF require an external Schottky diode?
Yes, the LT3460ESC6-1#TRMPBF requires an external Schottky diode connected between SW and VOUT. Unlike the LT3461 variant, it does not integrate a diode. A low-forward-voltage, fast-recovery Schottky such as CMDSH2-3 or PMEG2010 is recommended to minimize conduction loss and ensure reliable operation at 650kHz switching.
What is the purpose of the SHDN pin on the LT3460ESC6-1#TRMPBF?
The SHDN pin on the LT3460ESC6-1#TRMPBF serves dual functions: enabling/disabling the converter and implementing soft-start. Driving SHDN ≥1.5V enables operation; ≤0.4V places the device in shutdown with <1μA current draw. Adding an RC network (e.g., 47kΩ + 47nF) to SHDN creates a controlled voltage ramp that limits inrush current and output overshoot during startup.
Can the LT3460ESC6-1#TRMPBF operate from a single Li-ion cell?
Yes, the LT3460ESC6-1#TRMPBF operates from 2.5V minimum input, making it compatible with discharged single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V). In a 2.7V-to-18V boost configuration, it delivers 200μA at 18V with high efficiency. Its 1mA quiescent current preserves battery life, and <1μA shutdown current enables deep-sleep modes in portable diagnostic or imaging devices.
How does the LT3460ESC6-1#TRMPBF differ from the LT3460ESC6#TRMPBF?
The LT3460ESC6-1#TRMPBF is the 650kHz variant with 180mA switch current and 1mA quiescent current, optimized for lower-power bias supplies. The LT3460ESC6#TRMPBF is the 1.3MHz variant with 300mA switch current and 2mA quiescent current, suited for higher-output-current applications. Both share identical SC70-6 packaging, pinout, and operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
