Product details
Overview
LT3467AIDDB from Analog Devices is a 2.1MHz, 42V, 1.1A monolithic step-up DC/DC converter with integrated soft-start and bipolar switch in an 8-lead (3mm × 2mm) DFN package. It delivers up to 5V at 430mA from a 3.3V input or 15V at 135mA from the same supply, targeting space-constrained boost, SEPIC, and flyback power stages in portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the LT3467AIDDB datasheet, LT3467AIDDB pinout, LT3467AIDDB application, or LT3467AIDDB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.1MHz switching frequency for ultra-small passive sizing, 42V switch rating enabling 40V output capability, programmable soft-start via external capacitor, 1.255V feedback reference, and –40°C to 125°C industrial temperature grade.
Technical Context
The LT3467AIDDB employs constant-frequency current-mode PWM control with a 2.1MHz oscillator, delivering predictable noise spectra and stable regulation across line and load. Its internal 42V NPN bipolar switch features low 330mV VCE(SAT) at 1.1A, enabling high-efficiency operation without external gate drivers.
Soft-start is implemented via a dedicated SS pin sourcing 4µA to charge an external capacitor to 1.255V, limiting inrush current and peak switch stress during startup. The device supports wide input (2.4V–16V), regulates output up to 40V, and integrates feedback error amplification with 1.255V reference and ±50nA bias current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching frequency | 2.1MHz - enables use of sub-1µH inductors (e.g., 0.9µH) and compact ceramic capacitors |
| Max switch voltage | 42V - supports boost outputs up to 40V and SEPIC/flyback topologies with ≥2V headroom |
| Feedback reference | 1.255V ±1.2% - sets precise output voltage via resistor divider (VOUT = 1.255V × (1 + R1/R2)) |
| Input voltage range | 2.4V to 16V - accommodates single Li-ion (2.6–4.2V), 4-cell alkaline (4–6.5V), or 5V/12V rails |
| Soft-start current | 4µA - charges external capacitor linearly to 1.255V, controlling output ramp rate and inrush |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3467IS6#TRPBF | Same architecture but 1.3MHz switching, 6-lead TSOT-23 package, identical 42V/1.1A switch | Lower switching frequency requires larger inductors (≥4.7µH); thinner profile (1mm) but lower thermal mass | Select when board space is constrained vertically and 1.3MHz passives are acceptable |
| LT3467AEDDB#TRPBF | Identical electrical specs and DFN package, but rated for –40°C to +85°C only | Not qualified for extended temperature operation; unsuitable for industrial environments above 85°C | Select only for commercial-grade applications where ambient temperature remains below 85°C |

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage achievable with the LT3467AIDDB?
The LT3467AIDDB supports up to 40V output voltage, limited by its 42V-rated internal bipolar switch and sufficient headroom for diode forward drop and switch saturation voltage. This makes it suitable for high-voltage boost, SEPIC, and flyback configurations-e.g., generating 40V at 20mA from a 5V input as shown in the typical application circuit TA04a.
How does the soft-start function work on the LT3467AIDDB?
The LT3467AIDDB implements soft-start via its SS pin, which sources a precise 4µA current to charge an external capacitor to 1.255V. As the capacitor voltage ramps, it controls the error amplifier's output, limiting peak switch current during startup. Typical capacitor values range from 10nF to 200nF, allowing design-adjustable ramp times without additional circuitry.
Can the LT3467AIDDB replace the LT3467EDDB in an existing design?
The LT3467AIDDB is not a direct drop-in replacement for the LT3467EDDB due to differing switching frequencies (2.1MHz vs 1.3MHz) and temperature grades (–40°C to 125°C vs –40°C to 85°C). Inductor and compensation values must be re-optimized; however, pinout and basic functionality remain compatible per Analog Devices' documentation.
What package type and thermal characteristics does the LT3467AIDDB use?
The LT3467AIDDB uses an 8-lead (3mm × 2mm) plastic DFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 9), specified with θJA = 80°C/W. The exposed pad must be soldered to a PCB ground plane to achieve rated thermal performance and sustain full 1.1A switch current at elevated ambient temperatures.
Which external components are critical for stable operation of the LT3467AIDDB?
Critical external components for the LT3467AIDDB include: a low-DCR inductor (0.9µH–6.8µH, rated ≥1.2A), Schottky diode (e.g., PMEG2010 for ≤20V or MBRM140 for ≤40V), input bypass capacitor (≥1µF X5R/X7R ceramic near VIN), output capacitor (10µF–22µF low-ESR ceramic), and soft-start capacitor (10nF–200nF on SS pin). Layout must minimize SW and FB trace areas.
