Product details
Overview
LT3467IDDB from Analog Devices is a 1.3MHz, 42V, 1.1A monolithic step-up DC/DC converter with integrated soft-start, housed in an 8-lead (3mm × 2mm) DFN package rated for –40°C to 125°C operation. It delivers 5V at 540mA from a 3.3V input or 12V at 270mA from a 5V input in boost topology, and supports SEPIC/flyback configurations up to 40V output. Its low 330mV VCE(SAT) switch enables high-efficiency power conversion in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the LT3467IDDB datasheet, LT3467IDDB pinout, LT3467IDDB application, or LT3467IDDB equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed switching frequency (1.3MHz), guaranteed feedback voltage (1.255V), and real-world performance data including 540mA output current at 3.3V input - all specific to the LT3467IDDB variant.
Technical Context
The LT3467IDDB implements a constant-frequency current-mode PWM architecture with a 1.3MHz oscillator, enabling predictable noise spectra and simplified EMI filtering. Its internal NPN bipolar switch features 42V breakdown and 330mV saturation voltage at 1.1A, supporting high-current boost, SEPIC, and flyback topologies up to 40V output.
It integrates a dedicated soft-start pin (SS) with 4µA charging current to control output voltage ramp rate, eliminating inrush current and preventing switch overstress during startup. The device uses a 1.255V precision reference and operates across a 2.4V–16V input range with shutdown current <1µA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 1.3MHz - enables use of sub-5µH inductors and compact ceramic capacitors, reducing board area and height. |
| Max Output Voltage | 40V - supports high-voltage bias supplies for TFT-LCD, xDSL, and industrial sensors without external HV components. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.4V to 16V - accommodates single Li-ion (2.6–4.2V), 4-cell alkaline (4–6.5V), or 5V/12V system rails directly. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.255V ±2% - sets precise output regulation via external resistor divider; enables stable 5V, 12V, ±15V, or multi-rail outputs. |
| Soft-Start Current | 4µA - charges external capacitor to control startup dV/dt; prevents overshoot and ensures clean power sequencing. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - minimizes battery drain in always-on systems such as medical monitors or IoT edge nodes. |
| Switch VCE(SAT) | 330mV at 1.1A - reduces conduction loss and improves efficiency in high-current boost applications (e.g., 540mA @ 5V). |
Pinout & Package
LT3467IDDB is packaged in an 8-lead (3mm × 2mm) plastic DFN with exposed pad (Pin 9), which must be soldered to PCB ground for thermal and electrical integrity. Package height is 0.75mm, suitable for ultra-thin portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FB (Pin 1) | Feedback input | Connects to resistor divider tap; regulates output by comparing against 1.255V reference - determines VOUT = 1.255V(1 + R1/R2). |
| GND (Pins 2, 5, 9) | Ground reference | Pins 2 and 5 are signal GND; Pin 9 is exposed thermal pad - all must connect to low-impedance local ground plane for stability and thermal dissipation. |
| SW (Pins 3, 4) | Switch collector node | Drives external inductor/diode; high di/dt node requiring minimal trace area to suppress EMI and reduce ringing. |
| VIN (Pin 6) | Input supply | Accepts 2.4–16V; requires local 1–4.7µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin to stabilize input impedance. |
| SS (Pin 7) | Soft-start control | 4µA current source charges external capacitor; controls output voltage ramp rate and peak switch current during startup. |
| SHDN (Pin 8) | Enable/disable control | Logic-level input: ≥2.4V enables regulator; ≤0.5V places device in ultra-low-power shutdown (<1µA IQ). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1.3MHz fixed-frequency operation | Enables use of 2.2–4.7µH inductors and 1–15µF ceramic output capacitors - eliminates need for large, costly magnetics. |
| 42V, 1.1A bipolar switch with 330mV VCE(SAT) | Supports high-output-voltage boost (up to 40V) and high-current SEPIC (e.g., 4-cell to 5V @ 450mA) without external switch. |
| Dedicated soft-start pin with 4µA current source | Eliminates inrush current and switch overstress; allows programmable startup time (10–200nF capacitor yields ~12–240ms ramp). |
| Pin-for-pin compatibility with LT1930 and LT1613 | Enables drop-in replacement in existing designs using those regulators - no PCB layout change required. |
| –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature | Qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood applications where ambient temperatures exceed 85°C. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3467AIDDB | 2.1MHz switching frequency vs. 1.3MHz; lower max duty cycle (82% vs. 94%); identical pinout and package. | Better suited for ultra-compact designs requiring sub-1µH inductors; reduced output current capability (430mA @ 5V from 3.3V vs. 540mA). | Select LT3467AIDDB when board space is critical and output current ≤430mA; otherwise LT3467IDDB offers higher current headroom. |
| LT1930IS6 | 6-lead TSOT-23 package (vs. 8-lead DFN); same 1.3MHz frequency but no dedicated SS pin; 40V switch, 600mA current limit. | Limited to simpler boost topologies; lacks programmable soft-start, making it unsuitable for multi-rail or high-reliability medical start-up sequences. | Choose LT1930IS6 only for cost-sensitive, single-output applications where soft-start is not required and thermal constraints allow TSOT-23. |
Compared with LT3467AIDDB and LT1930IS6, the LT3467IDDB uniquely combines 1.3MHz operation, 540mA output capability, dedicated soft-start control, and industrial-temperature DFN packaging - making it optimal for high-reliability, multi-rail portable power systems where startup robustness and current delivery are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage achievable with the LT3467IDDB?
The LT3467IDDB supports up to 40V output voltage in boost, SEPIC, or flyback configurations, enabled by its 42V-rated internal NPN switch. This is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and validated in typical applications like the 5V-to-40V boost converter (Figure 3467 TA04a). The 40V limit accounts for diode forward drop and safety margin below the 42V switch rating.
Does the LT3467IDDB require an external soft-start capacitor?
Yes - the LT3467IDDB uses a dedicated SS pin (Pin 7) with a 4µA internal current source that charges an external capacitor to control startup dV/dt. A typical value is 47nF, yielding ~12ms ramp time. Leaving SS floating disables soft-start, risking inrush current and switch overstress - especially critical in high-voltage (>30V) applications.
What is the guaranteed output current capability of the LT3467IDDB at 3.3V input?
The LT3467IDDB delivers 5V at 540mA from a 3.3V input in boost configuration, as specified in the Applications section and validated in Figure 3467 TA01b efficiency curves. This performance assumes proper layout, 2.7µH inductor, MBRM120 Schottky diode, and 15µF X5R output capacitor - all confirmed in the datasheet's reference design.
Is the LT3467IDDB pin-compatible with other regulators in the same family?
Yes - the LT3467IDDB is explicitly stated as pin-for-pin compatible with the LT1930 and LT1613 in the Features section. This includes identical 8-lead DFN pinout (FB, GND, SW, SW, SHDN, SS, VIN, GND), allowing direct substitution without PCB modification in existing LT1930/LT1613 designs.
What package type and temperature grade does the LT3467IDDB use?
The LT3467IDDB uses an 8-lead (3mm × 2mm) plastic DFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 9), and is rated for –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature. This is confirmed in the ORDER INFORMATION table (row LT3467IDDB#TRPBF) and Package Description section (DDB8 drawing).
