Product details
Overview
LT3470HDDB#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a micropower buck regulator IC with integrated boost and catch Schottky diodes, designed for automotive-grade DC/DC conversion. It delivers up to 200mA output current, operates from 4V to 40V input, regulates output voltage from 1.25V to 16V via external feedback divider, and achieves <10mV output ripple in Burst Mode® operation - ideal for battery-powered automotive sensors and infotainment power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LT3470HDDB#TRPBF datasheet, LT3470HDDB#TRPBF pinout, LT3470HDDB#TRPBF application, or LT3470HDDB#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified thermal, electrical, and packaging details for AEC-Q100-compliant high-temperature design, including shutdown current (<1µA), quiescent current (26µA at 12VIN→3.3VOUT), and 8-lead DFN package with exposed ground pad.
Technical Context
The LT3470HDDB#TRPBF uses hysteretic mode control with dual current comparators and a one-shot timer to regulate switching frequency dynamically - eliminating external compensation while maintaining stability across load and input variations. Its bipolar NPN power switch is driven by an internal charge pump tied to the BOOST pin, enabling full saturation even at low VIN/VOUT ratios.
Burst Mode® operation engages below ~10mA load to reduce quiescent current to 26µA, while continuous conduction resumes above that threshold; fast current limiting (top limit: 250–435mA, bottom limit: 225mA) and 500ns minimum off-time provide robust short-circuit protection up to 40V input without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 40V - supports 2-cell Li-ion, lead-acid, and unregulated wall adapters without external pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 200mA maximum - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, CAN transceivers, and sensor signal chains in automotive modules. |
| Quiescent Current | 26µA at 12VIN→3.3VOUT - enables multi-year battery life in always-on vehicle subsystems. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - fully disconnects load from input, simplifying low-power state management in ECU sleep modes. |
| FB Reference Voltage | 1.25V ±1.7% - sets precise output regulation via external resistor divider; line regulation 0.01%/V ensures stability across wide input range. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +150°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade H for under-hood and transmission-control applications. |
| Output Ripple | <10mV peak-to-peak - achieved using small ceramic output capacitors and optional 22pF phase-lead capacitor on FB node. |
Pinout & Package
LT3470HDDB#TRPBF is housed in an 8-lead (3mm × 2mm) plastic DFN package with thermally enhanced exposed pad (Pin 9), which must be soldered to PCB ground for thermal and electrical performance. Package height is 0.75mm, suitable for space-constrained automotive modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SHDN (Pin 1) | Enable/disable control input | Logic-high ≥2.5V enables regulation; grounded disables all circuitry and reduces VIN current to <1µA. |
| NC (Pin 2) | No-connect terminal | May be left floating or tied to VIN; no internal connection or function. |
| VIN (Pin 3) | Main power input | Supplies internal regulator and power switch; requires local 1–2.2µF ceramic bypass capacitor. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Power and signal reference | Return path for feedback divider and internal circuits; must connect to local ground plane beneath exposed pad. |
| SW (Pin 5) | Switch node | Connects to inductor, catch diode cathode, and boost capacitor; carries high dI/dt switching current. |
| BOOST (Pin 6) | Charge-pump drive node | Generates >VIN voltage to saturate bipolar switch; requires 0.22µF capacitor between BOOST and SW. |
| BIAS (Pin 7) | Bias supply selector | Tied to VOUT if >2V, else to VIN; supplies current to internal regulator when VBIAS >3V. |
| FB (Pin 8) | Feedback input | Regulated to 1.25V; sets output voltage as VOUT = 1.25V × (1 + R1/R2); bias current ≤225nA (H-grade). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Schottky diodes | Eliminates two external components (boost and catch diodes), reducing solution size to 50mm² and improving reliability in vibration-prone automotive environments. |
| Hysteretic control architecture | Enables stable operation without external compensation network or loop-stability analysis - simplifies design for non-expert power engineers. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade H qualification | Validated for –40°C to +150°C operation with full parameter guarantees, meeting automotive safety-critical power requirements. |
| Burst Mode® low-ripple operation | Maintains <10mV output ripple at light loads while achieving 26µA quiescent current - critical for always-on telematics and ADAS sensors. |
| Thermally enhanced DFN package | Exposed pad (Pin 9) lowers θJA to 180°C/W, enabling 200mA output at +125°C ambient without heatsinking. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3471EDDB#TRPBF | Same architecture but rated for –40°C to +85°C (E-grade); lower max junction temperature (125°C) and higher quiescent current (35µA typical). | Not qualified for under-hood use; suitable only for cabin-mounted infotainment or body-control modules. | Select LT3471EDDB#TRPBF only if ambient temperature remains below 85°C and AEC-Q100 compliance is not required. |
| LMR14020SQDDARQ1 | 40V, 2A synchronous buck; higher current capability but larger solution size, no integrated catch diode, and 40µA quiescent current. | Designed for higher-power automotive loads (e.g., camera modules); lacks Burst Mode® for ultra-low-IQ operation. | Choose LMR14020SQDDARQ1 when >200mA output or synchronous efficiency is needed, accepting larger footprint and higher standby consumption. |
Compared with LT3470HDDB#TRPBF, LT3471EDDB#TRPBF offers identical functionality at lower temperature grade and cost, while LMR14020SQDDARQ1 trades micropower operation for higher output current and synchronous rectification - making LT3470HDDB#TRPBF optimal for space- and power-constrained automotive sensor nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LT3470HDDB#TRPBF?
The absolute maximum input voltage for LT3470HDDB#TRPBF is 40V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. The device is designed to handle automotive load-dump transients up to 40V without external clamping, provided proper input capacitance and layout practices are followed per the datasheet recommendations.
Does LT3470HDDB#TRPBF require external diodes for boost or catch functions?
No, LT3470HDDB#TRPBF integrates both the boost Schottky diode and catch Schottky diode internally. This eliminates two external components, reduces solution size to as small as 50mm², and improves reliability in automotive vibration environments - a key differentiator versus discrete or controller-based buck solutions.
What is the guaranteed operating temperature range for LT3470HDDB#TRPBF?
LT3470HDDB#TRPBF is guaranteed to operate from –40°C to +150°C ambient temperature and is qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade H. All electrical specifications - including quiescent current, FB reference voltage, and current limits - are fully characterized and warranted across this full range, making it suitable for under-hood and transmission-control applications.
How does LT3470HDDB#TRPBF achieve low output ripple in Burst Mode® operation?
LT3470HDDB#TRPBF achieves <10mV peak-to-peak output ripple in Burst Mode® through hysteretic control with precise top/bottom current limits and optimized switching timing. Combined with a small 22pF phase-lead capacitor on the FB node and low-ESR output capacitors, it maintains tight regulation while drawing only 26µA quiescent current at light loads.
Is the exposed pad on LT3470HDDB#TRPBF electrically connected, and how should it be handled?
Yes, the exposed pad (Pin 9) of LT3470HDDB#TRPBF is electrically connected to GND and must be soldered to a solid PCB ground plane. This connection is mandatory for thermal dissipation (θJA = 180°C/W) and electrical stability. Failure to solder the pad results in excessive junction temperature rise and potential functional failure under load.
