Product details
Overview
LT3514EUFD#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a triple-output synchronous buck switching regulator IC with 2A/1A/1A channel capability, wide 3.2V–36V input range, and 100% duty cycle operation enabled by an integrated boost regulator. It features independent soft-start/run pins, power-good indication, output voltage tracking, and resistor-programmable switching frequency up to 2.2MHz - deployed in automotive battery regulation and industrial distributed power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LT3514EUFD#PBF datasheet, LT3514EUFD#PBF pinout, LT3514EUFD#PBF application, or LT3514EUFD#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include verified 28-lead QFN thermal performance (θJA = 43°C/W), confirmed channel-specific current limits (SW3: 3.5A typ, SW1/SW4: 1.75A typ), and validated anti-phase switching for ripple reduction across all three outputs.
Technical Context
The LT3514EUFD#PBF integrates three independent buck regulators (CH1: 1A, CH3: 2A, CH4: 1A) and one dedicated boost regulator (CH5) that generates SKY voltage at VIN + 4.85V to fully saturate internal bipolar switches. Each buck channel uses cycle-by-cycle peak current limiting and catch diode current limiting for overload robustness.
It employs antiphase clocking between CH3/CH4 and CH5 to reduce input ripple, supports external synchronization from 350kHz–2.2MHz via RT/SYNC, and delivers precise 800mV feedback reference with ±10mV tolerance over temperature. Soft-start is implemented per-channel using internal 1.3µA current sources charging external capacitors on RUN/SS pins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.2V to 36V (40V transient rating); enables direct connection to 12V/24V automotive and industrial rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current Capability | CH1: 1A, CH3: 2A, CH4: 1A - verified via switch current limit specs (SW3: 3.5A typ, SW1/SW4: 1.75A typ) and thermal design in 4mm × 5mm QFN. |
| Switching Frequency | Resistor-programmable 220kHz–2.2MHz or externally synchronized; allows optimization of size vs. efficiency (e.g., 1MHz typical for compact 10µH inductors). |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 800mV ±10mV over –40°C to 125°C; enables accurate output programming with standard resistor dividers (e.g., R2 = 10.2kΩ). |
| Power Good Threshold | 710mV rising threshold per FB pin with 35mV hysteresis; ensures reliable system sequencing before enabling downstream logic or processors. |
| Thermal Performance | θJA = 43°C/W in 28-lead (4mm × 5mm) QFN with exposed pad soldered to PCB ground plane; supports continuous 2A output at 125°C ambient with proper layout. |
| Undervoltage Lockout | EN/UVLO rising threshold = 1.44V ±0.24V; provides programmable startup control and protects against brownout operation below 2.9V input. |
Pinout & Package
LT3514EUFD#PBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 28-lead (4mm × 5mm) plastic QFN package with exposed pad (Pin 29) electrically and thermally connected to GND. The package requires soldering of the exposed pad to a PCB ground plane with thermal vias for rated thermal performance (θJA = 43°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 10, 18, 27, 29) | Ground reference and thermal path | Multiple GND pins and exposed pad must be tied to low-impedance PCB ground plane; critical for EMI control and thermal dissipation. |
| VIN (Pins 9, 11, 26, 28) | Main input power supply | Four parallel VIN pins accept 3.2V–36V input; require local 10µF+ ceramic bypassing near pins 27/10 to minimize high-frequency noise. |
| SW1 / SW3 / SW4 | Buck switch node outputs | Drive external inductors; SW3 handles 2A load (higher current rating than SW1/SW4); each requires Schottky catch diode to DA pin. |
| DA1 / DA3 / DA4 | Catch diode anode return | Internal comparator monitors diode current; prevents switching if diode current exceeds limit - essential for transient overload protection. |
| RUN/SS1 / RUN/SS3 / RUN/SS4 | Per-channel enable & soft-start | Internal 1.3µA current source ramps voltage; tie capacitor to GND for controlled startup; pull <0.1V to shut down individual channel. |
| FB1 / FB3 / FB4 | Output voltage feedback | Regulated to 800mV; use resistor divider (e.g., R2 = 10.2kΩ) to set VOUT; FB pin current ≤150nA minimizes divider error. |
| RT/SYNC | Frequency programming / sync input | Tie resistor to GND for fixed frequency (e.g., 18.2kΩ = 1MHz); accepts 350kHz–2.2MHz external clock with >50ns pulse width. |
| EN/UVLO | Global enable / input UVLO | Pull <1.44V to disable entire device; draws <2µA when pulled <0.7V; threshold usable as accurate input undervoltage lockout. |
| PG | Power good open-collector output | Active-low signal asserted only when all FB pins exceed 710mV; requires external pull-up; disabled during shutdown. |
| SKY | Boost regulator output | Provides VIN + 4.85V drive voltage for internal switches; connect 1µF ceramic cap to VIN; never drive externally or load. |
| SW5 | Boost regulator switch node | Drives external inductor to VIN; internal 320mA switch (typ) charges SKY capacitor; requires careful layout to minimize ringing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple independent buck regulation | CH1 (1A), CH3 (2A), CH4 (1A) with separate RUN/SS and FB pins - enables flexible power sequencing and output voltage tracking in multi-rail systems. |
| 100% duty cycle support | Integrated boost regulator (CH5) generates SKY = VIN + 4.85V - allows regulation down to VOUT ≈ VIN, critical for automotive cold-crank (e.g., 3.2V → 3.3V). |
| Anti-phase switching | CH3 and CH4 clocks run 180° out-of-phase - reduces input capacitor RMS current and total input ripple by ~30% vs. in-phase operation. |
| Robust fault protection | Cycle-by-cycle switch current limit + catch diode current limit per channel + thermal shutdown - sustains operation under short-circuit and overload without latch-up. |
| Internal compensation | Single-pole compensation network embedded - eliminates need for external compensation components, reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LT3514EUFD#PBF?
The LT3514EUFD#PBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 40V, with guaranteed operation from 3.2V to 36V. Transient spikes up to 40V are tolerated per Absolute Maximum Ratings. Operation above 36V during startup is discouraged due to instantaneous power dissipation risks exceeding the 125°C junction limit.
Does the LT3514EUFD#PBF support 100% duty cycle operation, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the LT3514EUFD#PBF supports true 100% duty cycle operation via its integrated boost regulator (CH5), which generates SKY voltage at VIN + 4.85V. This elevated gate drive ensures full saturation of internal bipolar power switches even when VOUT ≈ VIN - enabling regulation during automotive cold-crank events down to 3.2V input.
How are the three output channels of the LT3514EUFD#PBF configured in terms of current capability?
The LT3514EUFD#PBF provides CH1: 1A, CH3: 2A, and CH4: 1A output capability, confirmed by switch current limit specifications: SW3 = 3.5A (typ), SW1/SW4 = 1.75A (typ). CH3's higher rating reflects its dedicated 2A design, distinguishing it from the LT3504's four 1A channels.
Can the LT3514EUFD#PBF synchronize to an external clock, and what are the requirements?
Yes, the LT3514EUFD#PBF supports external synchronization via the RT/SYNC pin across 350kHz–2.2MHz. The sync signal must have minimum amplitude of 0V to 1.5V and pulse width >50ns. No level-shifting is required - the pin is directly logic-compatible with CMOS/TTL signals.
What thermal design guidance applies to the LT3514EUFD#PBF in its 28-lead QFN package?
The LT3514EUFD#PBF in the 4mm × 5mm QFN package achieves θJA = 43°C/W when the exposed pad (Pin 29) is soldered to a solid PCB ground plane with ≥4 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter). Layout must minimize trace length between VIN/GND pins and bulk capacitance to maintain thermal and electrical performance at full 2A load.
