Product details
Overview
LT3509EDE#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual-channel, current-mode, synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator IC with integrated 700mA power switches per channel, 3.6V–36V input range, and independent RUN/SS control for automotive and industrial power rails. It delivers regulated 3.3V and 5V outputs in compact multi-rail systems under harsh transients up to 60V.
For engineers reviewing the LT3509EDE#TRPBF datasheet, LT3509EDE#TRPBF pinout, LT3509EDE#TRPBF application, or LT3509EDE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 14-lead DFN (4mm × 3mm) thermal performance, adjustable 300kHz–2.2MHz switching frequency via RT resistor, cycle-by-cycle current limiting, overvoltage lockout at 38.5V, and integrated boost diodes enabling low dropout operation.
Technical Context
The LT3509EDE#TRPBF implements two independent current-mode buck regulators sharing a common 0.8V reference and oscillator, operating in-phase with fixed-frequency PWM control. Each channel uses internal NPN power switches with integrated boost diodes and on-chip slope compensation to suppress subharmonic oscillation above 50% duty cycle.
Its protection architecture includes cycle-by-cycle current limit (1.4A typ), DA-pin-based short-circuit detection (0.95A valley limit), thermal shutdown, undervoltage lockout (~3.6V), and overvoltage lockout (~38.5V). The BD pin supplies charge to both BOOST1/BOOST2 pins through internal Schottky diodes, enabling base-boosted switch drive for <0.32V saturation voltage and >95% maximum duty cycle.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.6V to 36V continuous; withstands 60V non-repetitive transients - supports automotive battery rail and industrial 24V systems. |
| Output Current per Channel | 700mA - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, FPGAs, and interface ICs without external pass devices. |
| Switching Frequency | Adjustable 300kHz to 2.2MHz via RT resistor; synchronizable externally - enables EMI optimization and small magnetics. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 0.8V ±2% over –40°C to 125°C - ensures stable output regulation across temperature with standard resistor dividers. |
| Max Duty Cycle | 95% - allows operation down to VIN ≈ VOUT + VF, supporting low-dropout behavior in wide-input applications. |
| Overvoltage Lockout Threshold | 38.5V typical - protects internal switches and downstream loads during load-dump events in automotive environments. |
| Thermal Shutdown Temp | 150°C junction - provides fail-safe protection during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
LT3509EDE#TRPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 14-lead (4mm × 3mm) plastic DFN package with exposed GND pad (Pin 15) requiring soldering to PCB for thermal and electrical integrity. θJA = 43°C/W, θJC = 4.3°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FB1, FB2 (Pins 14, 8) | Feedback input | Connects to resistor divider to regulate output voltage at 0.8V reference; bias current <500nA minimizes divider error. |
| RUN/SS1, RUN/SS2 (Pins 13, 9) | Enable & soft-start control | Pull <0.4V to shut down channel; 0.8–2.0V enables current-limited soft-start; internal 1µA pull-up allows floating enable. |
| BOOST1, BOOST2 (Pins 2, 6) | Bootstrap supply node | Tied to SW pins via external capacitors; receives charge from BD pin to drive switch base above VIN for low VCE(SAT). |
| SW1, SW2 (Pins 3, 5) | Switch node | Drives external inductor; connects to cathode of catch diode and BOOST capacitor; peak current limited to 1.4A. |
| VIN (Pin 4) | Main power input | Supplies control circuitry and power switches; accepts 3.6–36V; clamped to 60V max transient. |
| BD (Pin 12) | Boost diode anode | Common anode of internal Schottky diodes charging BOOST1/BOOST2; must be bypassed locally for stability. |
| DA1, DA2 (Pins 1, 7) | Catch diode anode | Internally connected to GND pad via current-sense resistors; used for valley-current monitoring and short-circuit protection. |
| RT (Pin 10) | Oscillator timing | Resistor-to-ground sets switching frequency (e.g., 40.2kΩ → 1MHz); supports external sync via SYNC pin. |
| SYNC (Pin 11) | External clock input | Accepts logic-level clock ≥1.0V threshold; requires free-run frequency ≥12% below sync source for reliable locking. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent buck regulators | Enables compact dual-rail power supply (e.g., 3.3V + 5V) with separate enable/soft-start, eliminating discrete controllers. |
| Integrated boost diodes and compensation | Reduces BOM count by 4 diodes and 2 compensation networks; simplifies layout and improves reliability vs. discrete boost solutions. |
| Short-circuit robust DA comparator | Monitors catch diode current to limit valley inductor current to 0.95A during output shorts - sustains operation without latch-off. |
| AM-band avoidance | Configurable >300kHz operation avoids interference with AM radio reception - critical for automotive infotainment compliance. |
| Thermally enhanced DFN | Exposed pad (Pin 15) tied to GND enables 4.3°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance - supports 700mA/channel at 125°C ambient with proper PCB copper. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM5160QPWPRQ1 | Single-channel 65V buck with external FETs; no integrated switches or dual outputs. | Requires two ICs + MOSFETs for dual-rail; higher BOM cost but supports >700mA per rail. | Select when >700mA/channel or >36V input is required; not drop-in for LT3509EDE#TRPBF footprint or function. |
| TPS54290PWPR | Dual 600mA buck with 3.5–60V input; no integrated boost diodes; requires external bootstrap diodes. | Needs 4 external Schottky diodes and additional compensation components; lower thermal efficiency in DFN. | Choose when wider input range (up to 60V) is mandatory and board area allows added discretes. |
Compared with LM5160QPWPRQ1 and TPS54290PWPR, the LT3509EDE#TRPBF offers integrated dual 700mA switches, on-chip boost diodes, and single-resistor frequency setting - reducing component count and layout complexity for 3.6–36V dual-rail designs where 700mA/channel suffices.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LT3509EDE#TRPBF?
The LT3509EDE#TRPBF has an absolute maximum VIN rating of 60V for non-repetitive 1-second transients, with guaranteed continuous operation from 3.6V to 36V. Its overvoltage lockout activates at ~38.5V typical, protecting internal circuitry during automotive load-dump events per ISO 7637-2.
Does LT3509EDE#TRPBF require external boost diodes?
No. The LT3509EDE#TRPBF integrates Schottky boost diodes connected to the BD pin, eliminating the need for external diodes in standard configurations. External diodes may only be considered for extreme duty cycles (>95%) or when BD is sourced from a low-voltage rail like 3.3V.
How is switching frequency set on LT3509EDE#TRPBF?
Switching frequency on the LT3509EDE#TRPBF is set by a single resistor (RT) from Pin 10 to GND. For example, a 40.2kΩ resistor yields ~1MHz. The device also supports external synchronization via the SYNC pin (Pin 11), provided the free-run frequency is set at least 12% lower than the sync source.
What thermal performance can be expected from LT3509EDE#TRPBF in its DFN package?
The LT3509EDE#TRPBF in the 14-lead DFN package achieves θJA = 43°C/W and θJC = 4.3°C/W when the exposed pad (Pin 15) is properly soldered to a thermal plane with ≥4 vias. This enables full 700mA/channel operation at up to 125°C junction temperature with adequate PCB copper area.
Can LT3509EDE#TRPBF operate with only one channel enabled?
Yes. The LT3509EDE#TRPBF supports independent channel control: pulling RUN/SS1 low disables Channel 1 while Channel 2 remains active if RUN/SS2 is high. When both RUN/SS pins are low, the common circuitry enters ultra-low-current shutdown (~9µA), minimizing quiescent draw in standby mode.
