Product details
Overview
LTC1434CGN#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a phase-lockable, current-mode step-down DC/DC converter delivering up to 450mA output with ±2.4% voltage accuracy and 93% peak efficiency. It integrates dual P-channel MOSFETs (RDS(ON) = 0.6Ω combined at 10V), operates from 3V–13.5V input, and supports fixed 3.3V/5V or adjustable output via VPROG pin - ideal for battery-powered RF modems and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1434CGN#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1434CGN#TRPBF pinout, LTC1434CGN#TRPBF application, or LTC1434CGN#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its phase-locked loop (PLLIN/PLL LPF pins), low-quiescent-current operation (470µA active, 15µA shutdown), dropout capability (100% duty cycle), internal low-battery detector (LBI/LBO), and 16-pin narrow SSOP package with validated thermal resistance (θJA = 150°C/W).
Technical Context
The LTC1434CGN#TRPBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control with adaptive power switching: it dynamically engages either the small (3.3Ω RDS(ON)) or large (0.8Ω RDS(ON)) internal P-MOSFET based on load current and ITH voltage, enabling high efficiency across 1mA–450mA. Its PLL architecture accepts external synchronization via PLLIN (50kΩ internal termination) and adjusts oscillator frequency via PLL LPF (0–2.4V control range), supporting noise-sensitive multi-rail systems.
It features integrated protection functions including overvoltage lockout (1.24–1.32V threshold), short-circuit frequency foldback (~22kHz under fault), and power-on reset with 65536-cycle delay (≈300ms at 125kHz). The device maintains regulation down to 3V input and supports true dropout operation by sustaining 100% duty cycle when VIN approaches VOUT.
Key Specifications

| Input Voltage Range | 3V to 13.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V) and multi-cell alkaline/NiMH inputs without external regulators. |
| Output Current | Up to 450mA - sufficient for powering baseband processors, RF transceivers, or sensor signal chains in portable equipment. |
| Efficiency | Up to 93% - achieved via adaptive dual-MOSFET switching and low RDS(ON), reducing thermal load in compact enclosures. |
| Quiescent Current | 470µA (active), 15µA (shutdown) - extends battery life in always-on monitoring or sleep-wake applications. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 112–142kHz (COSC = 100pF) - fixed-frequency operation simplifies EMI filtering; PLL enables synchronized switching in multi-converter systems. |
| Reference Accuracy | ±1% (1.19V internal reference) - ensures stable output voltage across temperature and line/load variations. |
| Package | 16-lead narrow SSOP (GN) - surface-mount footprint compatible with automated assembly; θJA = 150°C/W enables operation up to 70°C ambient. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead narrow plastic SSOP (GN), 0.15mm lead pitch, JEDEC MO-153 compliant. Thermal pad not present; PGND and SGND must be routed separately to minimize noise coupling.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SSW (Pin 1) | Drain of small P-MOSFET | Switches low-current loads (<260mA peak); used with smaller inductor in dual-inductor configurations for improved light-load efficiency. |
| BSW (Pin 3) | Drain of large P-MOSFET | Engaged above 260mA peak inductor current; handles full 450mA output with lower conduction loss. |
| SGND (Pin 5) | Small-signal ground | Must be isolated from power ground (PGND) and connected directly to COUT (–) to prevent feedback loop instability. |
| RUN/SS (Pin 6) | Soft-start and enable control | Capacitor-to-ground sets ramp time (~0.5s/µF); <1.3V forces shutdown while preserving LBI comparator function. |
| LBI (Pin 8) | Low-battery comparator input | Compares against 1.19V reference; trip point = 1.16–1.22V with 40mV hysteresis - configurable for system-level brownout detection. |
| VPROG (Pin 9) | Output voltage programming | Selects 3.3V (0V), 5V (VIN), or adjustable mode (open); determines VOSENSE connection point in feedback network. |
| VOSENSE (Pin 10) | Feedback voltage input | Receives output voltage or divider node; error amplifier compares to 1.19V reference to regulate output within ±2.4%. |
| ITH (Pin 11) | Error amplifier compensation | Controls peak current threshold; voltage range 0–2.4V - external RC network stabilizes loop response. |
| POR (Pin 12) | Power-on reset open-drain output | Pulls low when VOUT is >7.5% out of regulation; releases after 65536 oscillator cycles once VOUT reaches –5% of target. |
| COSC (Pin 13) | Oscillator timing capacitor | External capacitor (e.g., 100pF) sets base frequency; PLL LPF voltage shifts frequency ±30% around center value. |
| PLL LPF (Pin 16) | Phase detector output / VCO control | Drives oscillator frequency; 0–2.4V range corresponds to –30% to +30% frequency deviation - critical for EMI reduction in synchronized systems. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Phase-Lockable Oscillator | Enables synchronous switching with external clock (PLLIN) to eliminate beat frequencies and simplify EMI compliance in multi-rail designs. |
| Adaptive Dual-Power Switching | Automatically selects between small (3.3Ω) and large (0.8Ω) P-MOSFETs based on load, maintaining >85% efficiency from 1mA to 450mA. |
| Low-Battery Detection with Hysteresis | 1.19V reference-based comparator (LBI/LBO) with 40mV hysteresis prevents chatter during battery sag; LBO sinks current to drive external logic. |
| 100% Duty-Cycle Dropout Operation | Continues regulation as VIN drops to VOUT by holding P-MOSFETs fully on - essential for deep-discharge battery applications. |
| Integrated Power-On Reset Timer | Generates clean system reset after 65536 oscillator cycles (≈300ms at 125kHz) once output reaches –5% of regulation - eliminates need for external POR IC. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LTC1434CGN#TRPBF?
The LTC1434CGN#TRPBF delivers up to 450mA of continuous output current under typical conditions (TA = 25°C, VIN = 10V). Maximum output depends on input voltage, ambient temperature, PCB layout, and thermal management - at 3.6V input and 70°C ambient, derated output is approximately 320mA per the datasheet's "Maximum Output Current vs Input Supply" graph.
Does the LTC1434CGN#TRPBF support external frequency synchronization?
Yes, the LTC1434CGN#TRPBF supports external frequency synchronization via its dedicated PLLIN and PLL LPF pins. When an external clock is applied to PLLIN, the internal phase-locked loop locks the oscillator to that frequency, allowing precise timing alignment across multiple converters to reduce beat frequencies and simplify EMI filtering - a feature absent in the pin-compatible LTC1433 variant.
How does the adaptive power switching work in the LTC1434CGN#TRPBF?
The LTC1434CGN#TRPBF uses adaptive power switching by monitoring the ITH pin voltage and inductor peak current. When both remain below thresholds (ITH < 0.6V and peak current < 260mA), only the small P-MOSFET (SSW) operates; exceeding either condition engages the large P-MOSFET (BSW) for higher efficiency at medium-to-heavy loads - this dual-switch architecture maintains >85% efficiency from 1mA to 450mA.
What is the purpose of the LBI and LBO pins on the LTC1434CGN#TRPBF?
The LBI (Low-Battery Input) pin connects to a resistive divider from the battery to compare against the internal 1.19V reference; the LBO (Low-Battery Output) pin is an open-drain output that pulls low when LBI falls below 1.19V (trip range 1.16–1.22V). This provides system-level battery monitoring with 40mV hysteresis to prevent oscillation during voltage sag - enabling graceful shutdown or user alerts in battery-powered equipment.
Can the LTC1434CGN#TRPBF operate in dropout mode, and what happens to regulation?
Yes, the LTC1434CGN#TRPBF supports 100% duty-cycle dropout operation. As input voltage decreases toward the output voltage, the controller holds the P-MOSFETs continuously on, causing VOUT to track VIN minus the RDS(ON) drop across the conducting FETs. Regulation is maintained until VIN falls below the minimum required headroom - typically ~200mV above VOUT at 450mA - ensuring uninterrupted operation during deep battery discharge.
