Product details
Overview
LT3494AEDDB#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower, low-noise boost converter IC with integrated 350mA NPN switch, Schottky diode, and PMOS output disconnect. It operates from 2.3V to 16V input, delivers up to 40V output, maintains switching frequency >47kHz across full load range, and draws only 65μA quiescent current-enabling efficient OLED power supply from a single Li-ion cell.
For engineers reviewing the LT3494AEDDB#TRMPBF datasheet, LT3494AEDDB#TRMPBF pinout, LT3494AEDDB#TRMPBF application, or LT3494AEDDB#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 350mA peak switch current limit, 1.225V ±20mV feedback reference accuracy, non-audible fixed-frequency operation, integrated output disconnect for true shutdown isolation, and compatibility with ceramic output capacitors down to 2.2μF.
Technical Context
The LT3494AEDDB#TRMPBF employs a constant-frequency, current-mode control architecture that enforces minimum switching frequency ≥47kHz under all load conditions-eliminating audible noise. Its internal NPN power switch features 350mA current limiting (vs. 180mA in LT3494), and the integrated PMOS disconnect ensures VOUT is fully isolated from input during shutdown.
Operation relies on precise 1.225V feedback reference with ±20mV offset over temperature, supported by an internal 182kΩ bottom resistor. The CTRL pin enables dynamic output voltage adjustment down to near-VIN level by overriding the internal reference, supporting analog dimming in display applications without external DACs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.3V to 16V - supports direct connection to Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), 5V rails, and industrial 12V inputs. |
| Output Voltage Range | Up to 40V - sufficient for driving white OLEDs, PMOLEDs, and high-voltage bias rails. |
| Switch Current Limit | 350mA typical - enables higher output power than LT3494 (180mA), critical for 15–30mA OLED loads at 16V. |
| Quiescent Current | 65μA active / <1μA shutdown - preserves battery life in portable devices with intermittent display usage. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.225V ±20mV - ensures stable regulation with <±1% output error when using standard 1% resistors. |
| Switching Frequency | ≥47kHz min - stays above audio band (20Hz–20kHz) across 0.1–100mA load, preventing coil whine. |
| Package | 8-lead 3mm × 2mm DFN - compact footprint with exposed thermal pad for efficient heat dissipation in space-constrained designs. |
Pinout & Package
LT3494AEDDB#TRMPBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic DFN package (3mm × 2mm) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 9, GND). The package requires soldering of the exposed pad to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pin 1) | Collector of internal NPN switch | High-di/dt node; must use minimal trace area and solid ground plane beneath to suppress EMI. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power and signal ground reference | Direct connection to local ground plane; ties to exposed pad (Pin 9) for thermal conduction. |
| VCC (Pin 3) | Main input supply input | Requires local 4.7μF X5R/X7R ceramic bypass capacitor placed within 2mm of pin. |
| CTRL (Pin 4) | Auxiliary reference override input | Drives FB to match CTRL voltage (0–1.5V); enables analog dimming without external DAC or PWM filtering. |
| SHDN (Pin 5) | Enable/disable control input | Logic-high (>1.5V) enables; grounded disables with <1μA shutdown current and full output disconnect. |
| FB (Pin 6) | Feedback input for output regulation | Compares against 1.225V reference; internal 182kΩ resistor to GND simplifies divider design. |
| VOUT (Pin 7) | Drain of output disconnect PMOS | Connects to load when enabled; pulled to GND during shutdown-provides true output isolation. |
| CAP (Pin 8) | Cathode of internal Schottky diode | Node where inductor connects; requires 0.22–0.47μF ceramic capacitor for ripple filtering. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated output disconnect | PMOS switch isolates VOUT from input during shutdown-prevents backfeed and enables zero-load leakage in battery-powered systems. |
| Non-audible switching | Guaranteed >47kHz minimum frequency eliminates coil whine across entire 0.1–100mA load range-critical for consumer audio-adjacent devices. |
| Low-noise regulation | Peak-to-peak output ripple ≤10mV at 16V/16mA (100MHz BW)-achieved via optimized control loop and integrated Schottky diode. |
| Dynamic output control | CTRL pin allows real-time analog adjustment of output voltage from max (set by R1) down to ~VIN-enables seamless OLED brightness scaling. |
| Micropower operation | 65μA quiescent current + <1μA shutdown draw extends runtime in always-on portable displays and wearables. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3467AEDD#TRPBF | 1.1A switch current limit, 2.1MHz switching, soft-start, 40V max output, 1.2mA IQ | Higher power, faster transient response, but 18× higher quiescent current-unsuitable for battery-critical designs | Select LT3467AEDD#TRPBF only when >350mA output current or sub-10μs transient recovery is required; not drop-in due to different pinout and control scheme. |
| LT1615EMS8#TRPBF | 300mA switch current, 1.4MHz, 34V max output, 20μA IQ, ThinSOT-8 package | Lower max output voltage (34V vs 40V), no integrated disconnect, higher IQ than LT3494A but still micropower | Choose LT1615EMS8#TRPBF for cost-sensitive, lower-voltage (<34V) applications where board space permits larger ThinSOT footprint and output isolation is handled externally. |
Compared with LT3467AEDD#TRPBF and LT1615EMS8#TRPBF, LT3494AEDDB#TRMPBF uniquely combines 350mA current capability, true output disconnect, <1μA shutdown, and 40V output in a 3mm × 2mm DFN-making it optimal for space- and battery-constrained OLED and portable sensor bias applications where isolation and ultra-low IQ are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage achievable with the LT3494AEDDB#TRMPBF?
The LT3494AEDDB#TRMPBF supports output voltages up to 40V, as confirmed by its absolute maximum SW, CAP, and VOUT ratings. In practical designs using standard external components (e.g., 15μH inductor, 2.2μF output capacitor), stable regulation has been demonstrated at 16V–25V for OLED applications. Output voltage is set by the FB resistor divider and can be dynamically adjusted downward via the CTRL pin.
Does the LT3494AEDDB#TRMPBF provide true output isolation during shutdown?
Yes, the LT3494AEDDB#TRMPBF integrates a PMOS output disconnect switch between CAP and VOUT. When SHDN is pulled low, this switch turns off, isolating the VOUT node from both input and internal circuitry. Measurements confirm VOUT discharges to ground through external load or bleed resistors-enabling zero-power standby in battery-powered systems.
How does the CTRL pin function in the LT3494AEDDB#TRMPBF?
The CTRL pin on the LT3494AEDDB#TRMPBF serves as an auxiliary reference input that overrides the internal 1.225V feedback reference when driven below 1.5V. With CTRL tied to a DAC or potentiometer, the output voltage scales linearly from its maximum (set by R1) down to approximately VIN-enabling analog dimming of OLED displays without PWM filtering or additional ICs.
What is the guaranteed switch current limit for the LT3494AEDDB#TRMPBF?
The LT3494AEDDB#TRMPBF guarantees a typical peak switch current limit of 350mA, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table (Note 5). This is a key differentiator from the LT3494 (180mA limit) and enables higher output power in applications such as 30mA OLED loads at 16V, where inductor saturation and efficiency must be carefully managed.
Which package type and dimensions does the LT3494AEDDB#TRMPBF use?
The LT3494AEDDB#TRMPBF uses an 8-lead plastic DFN package measuring 3.00mm × 2.00mm with 0.50mm pitch. It features an exposed thermal pad (Pin 9) that must be soldered to the PCB ground plane per LTC DWG #05-08-1702 Rev B. The part marking "LCRW" appears on the top surface, and the package is lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
