Product details
Overview
LT3494EDDB#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower, low-noise boost converter IC with integrated NPN power switch, Schottky diode, and PMOS output disconnect circuitry. It delivers up to 40V output from 2.3V–16V input, features 180mA switch current limit, 65μA quiescent current, and non-audible switching frequency (>50kHz across full load range), enabling compact OLED power supplies from single Li-ion cells.
For engineers reviewing the LT3494EDDB#TRMPBF datasheet, LT3494EDDB#TRMPBF pinout, LT3494EDDB#TRMPBF application, or LT3494EDDB#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its integrated output disconnect capability, CTRL-pin-based analog dimming control, ultra-low shutdown current (<1μA), and DFN-8 (3mm × 2mm) package suitability for space-constrained portable displays and low-noise sensor bias rails.
Technical Context
The LT3494EDDB#TRMPBF employs a constant-frequency, current-mode control architecture with adaptive minimum off-time regulation to maintain switching frequency above 50kHz under all load conditions-eliminating audible noise. Its internal 182kΩ feedback resistor and 1.225V reference enable precise output voltage setting via a single external top resistor.
Operation includes start-up current limiting, automatic shunt current generation at light loads to prevent output overvoltage, and seamless transition between internal reference and external CTRL-voltage override (0V–1.225V) for dynamic output adjustment. The integrated PMOS disconnect isolates VOUT from input during shutdown, reducing system standby leakage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.3V to 16V - supports direct operation from single Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), 3.3V/5V rails, or wide industrial inputs. |
| Output Voltage Range | Up to 40V - enables driving high-voltage OLED panels, white LED strings, or analog sensor bias networks. |
| Switch Current Limit | 180mA (typ) - defines maximum peak inductor current; sets practical output power ceiling (~200mW at 16V out). |
| Quiescent Current | 65μA (active), <1μA (shutdown) - preserves battery life in always-on portable devices with infrequent wake cycles. |
| Switching Frequency | ≥50kHz (min), non-audible across full load - avoids EMI-sensitive audio bands and simplifies filtering. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.225V ±20mV - precision internal reference enables stable output regulation with minimal external components. |
| Package | 8-lead 3mm × 2mm DFN with exposed pad - provides low thermal resistance (θJA = 76°C/W) and compact footprint for handheld designs. |
Pinout & Package
LT3494EDDB#TRMPBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic DFN package (3mm × 2mm) with exposed ground pad (Pin 9), requiring soldering to PCB for thermal and electrical performance. Pin 1 is marked by a bar on the top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pin 1) | Collector of internal NPN switch | High-dV/dt node; requires minimal trace area to reduce EMI radiation and capacitive coupling. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power and signal ground reference | Must connect directly to local ground plane; shares return path with exposed pad (Pin 9). |
| VCC (Pin 3) | Main input supply input | Requires local ceramic bypass (≥4.7μF) close to pin; powers internal circuitry and gate drive. |
| CTRL (Pin 4) | Auxiliary reference input | Drives FB to match CTRL voltage (0–1.225V) for analog dimming; tie ≥1.5V to use internal 1.225V reference. |
| SHDN (Pin 5) | Enable/disable control | Logic-high (≥1.5V) enables operation; grounded forces shutdown and activates output disconnect. |
| FB (Pin 6) | Feedback input | Senses output via resistor divider; internal 182kΩ to GND enables single-resistor configuration. |
| VOUT (Pin 7) | PMOS drain output node | Provides isolated output during shutdown; place bulk capacitor here for load regulation stability. |
| CAP (Pin 8) | Schottky cathode / boost node | Connects to inductor and Schottky anode; place 0.22–0.47μF ceramic cap here for ripple filtering. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated output disconnect | PMOS switch isolates VOUT from input during shutdown, eliminating standby leakage into downstream loads. |
| Analog output dimming | CTRL pin accepts 0–1.225V input to dynamically scale output voltage without changing feedback resistors. |
| Low-noise switching | Guaranteed >50kHz operation prevents audible coil whine and eases EMI compliance in portable audio systems. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 65μA active / <1μA shutdown enables multi-year battery life in IoT sensors and wearables. |
| Single-resistor feedback | Internal 182kΩ bottom resistor allows output programming with one external top resistor (R1). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3463EDD#TRPBF | Dual-output (boost + inverter), 250mA switch limit, 40μA IQ, same DFN-10 package | Supports bipolar rails (±40V); higher integration but larger footprint and no CTRL-based dimming | Select when dual-rail bias (e.g., op-amp ±15V) is required; not drop-in due to pin count and function mismatch. |
| LT1615ES5#TRMPBF | ThinSOT-5 package, 300mA switch limit, 20μA IQ, no integrated disconnect or CTRL pin | Lacks output isolation and analog dimming; simpler control but requires external MOSFET for disconnect | Choose for cost-sensitive, low-complexity boost only applications where board area is less critical than BOM count. |
Compared with LT3494EDDB#TRMPBF, LT3463EDD#TRPBF adds inverter capability at the expense of dimming control and package size, while LT1615ES5#TRMPBF trades integration for smaller outline and lower IQ-but requires external components to replicate disconnect and dimming functions.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage supported by the LT3494EDDB#TRMPBF?
The LT3494EDDB#TRMPBF supports output voltages up to 40V, as confirmed by absolute maximum ratings (VOUT ≤ 40V) and typical application circuits achieving 16V and 25V outputs. This rating applies across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to 85°C) and is limited by internal switch and PMOS breakdown characteristics-not by external component selection alone.
Does the LT3494EDDB#TRMPBF include integrated output disconnect, and how does it function?
Yes, the LT3494EDDB#TRMPBF integrates a PMOS output disconnect switch between CAP and VOUT pins. When SHDN is pulled low, the PMOS turns off, isolating the VOUT node from the boost circuit and allowing it to discharge to ground. This prevents backfeed and leakage in standby, a feature explicitly documented in the Applications Information section and verified in Figure 3 of the datasheet.
Can the LT3494EDDB#TRMPBF be used with input voltages below 2.3V?
No-the LT3494EDDB#TRMPBF has a minimum operating voltage of 2.3V (specified in Electrical Characteristics), and operation below this threshold is not guaranteed. Attempting to operate below 2.3V may result in failure to start, unstable regulation, or undefined behavior, as confirmed by the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and startup waveform tests in Figures G13–G15.
What is the purpose of the CTRL pin on the LT3494EDDB#TRMPBF, and what voltage range is valid?
The CTRL pin on the LT3494EDDB#TRMPBF serves as an auxiliary reference input that overrides the internal 1.225V feedback reference when driven between 0V and 1.225V, enabling analog output dimming or dynamic voltage scaling. Driving CTRL ≥1.5V disables override and engages the internal reference, as specified in the PIN FUNCTIONS and APPLICATIONS INFORMATION sections.
Is the LT3494EDDB#TRMPBF pin-compatible with the LT3494AEDDB#TRMPBF?
No-while both share identical pinout and package (DFN-8 DDB), the LT3494EDDB#TRMPBF and LT3494AEDDB#TRMPBF differ in switch current limit (180mA vs 350mA) and associated performance curves (e.g., peak inductor current, efficiency at high load). They are not pin-compatible replacements per manufacturer guidance; substituting requires revalidation of inductor sizing, thermal design, and output current capability.
