Product details
Overview
LTC1701BES5#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 1MHz, current-mode, step-down DC/DC converter IC in a 5-lead SOT-23 package. It operates from 2.5V to 5.5V input, delivers up to 500mA output current, features 0.28Ω internal P-channel MOSFET switch, and supports adjustable output voltages from 1.25V to 5V. It is used in portable digital cameras and cellular phones for compact, high-frequency power conversion.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1701BES5#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC1701BES5#TRMPBF pinout, LTC1701BES5#TRMPBF application, or LTC1701BES5#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include continuous-mode light-load operation (vs. Burst Mode in LTC1701), 1.25V feedback reference accuracy, 500ns typical off-time, OPTI-LOOP™ compensation flexibility, and thermal performance under dropout conditions.
Technical Context
The LTC1701BES5#TRMPBF uses a constant-off-time, current-mode control architecture with an internal 0.28Ω P-channel MOSFET switch and 1.25V precision bandgap reference. Its ITH/RUN pin serves dual roles: error amplifier compensation node and RUN control input, enabling soft-start and shutdown with <1µA quiescent current.
Unlike the LTC1701, the LTC1701B variant operates continuously down to very low load currents-eliminating Burst Mode switching to minimize output voltage ripple at the expense of light-load efficiency. It maintains stable regulation across –40°C to 85°C ambient temperature with no minimum load requirement.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion and 3.3V/5V system rails without external LDO pre-regulation. |
| Switching Frequency | 1MHz fixed - enables use of sub-2mm-height inductors and small ceramic/input capacitors for space-constrained PCBs. |
| Max Output Current | 500mA - sustained delivery with internal switch RDS(ON) = 0.28Ω @ 5V VIN ensures low conduction loss at full load. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.25V ±0.03V - sets output voltage via external resistor divider (VOUT = 1.25V × (1 + R2/R1)) with tight line/load regulation. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - enables ultra-low-power system sleep states without external disconnect circuitry. |
| Operating Temp Range | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and portable consumer environments with no derating required. |
| Package | 5-Lead SOT-23 - footprint-compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment; θJA = 250°C/W on minimal copper. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-Lead Plastic SOT-23 (JEDEC MO-178AA), 1.6mm × 2.8mm × 1.3mm body, gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant, tape-and-reel (TRMPBF).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - SW | Switch Node | Connects to inductor and cathode of external Schottky diode; swings from VIN to ~0.3V below GND during conduction. |
| 2 - GND | Power Ground | Reference return for VFB, ITH/RUN, and internal circuits; must be low-impedance connection to CIN and COUT negative terminals. |
| 3 - VFB | Feedback Input | High-impedance (±0.1µA) node sensing divided output voltage; regulates to 1.25V with ±0.03V tolerance over temp. |
| 4 - ITH/RUN | Error Amp Output / RUN Control | Compensation node (R3/C3 filter) and logic-level enable: <0.8V = shutdown; 1.25–2.25V = active regulation. |
| 5 - VIN | Main Power Input | Supplies internal circuitry and switch driver; requires local 0.1–1µF ceramic decoupling close to pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Continuous Light-Load Operation | LTC1701B variant avoids Burst Mode to maintain low-output-ripple performance down to µA loads-critical for noise-sensitive analog/RF sections. |
| OPTI-LOOP™ Compensation | External R3/C3 network on ITH/RUN pin allows loop stability optimization across wide range of output capacitor types (tantalum, POSCAP, ceramic) and values. |
| 100% Duty Cycle Dropout | Internal PMOS remains fully on when VIN ≤ VOUT, sustaining regulated output with minimal headroom-enables battery brownout operation without reset. |
| Short-Circuit Protection | Peak switch current limit (0.9–1.1A) combined with cycle-by-cycle current sensing prevents damage during output faults or startup into heavy capacitive loads. |
| Low Quiescent Current | 135µA typical operating supply current (LTC1701) and <1µA shutdown draw extend battery life in always-on portable devices. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down DC/DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1701ES5#TRMPBF | Burst Mode enabled; 135µA active IQ; same pinout/package; lower light-load efficiency but reduced output ripple at medium loads. | Suitable for battery-powered systems prioritizing runtime over ripple, e.g., media players with variable audio codec loads. | Select LTC1701ES5#TRMPBF when light-load efficiency > low-noise priority; verify ripple tolerance in final layout. |
| TPS62231DRVR | 3MHz switching; 0.45A max; 2.05V–6.5V input; integrated synchronous rectifier; different pinout (6-pin WSON). | Enables smaller magnetics and higher efficiency at mid-to-high loads; not pin-compatible; requires PCB redesign. | Choose TPS62231DRVR only if 3MHz frequency and sync rectification justify layout change and qualification effort. |
Compared with LTC1701ES5#TRMPBF, the LTC1701BES5#TRMPBF trades light-load efficiency for ripple-free regulation-making it preferable in noise-critical signal chains. Against TPS62231DRVR, it offers proven reliability in legacy portable designs but lacks synchronous rectification and higher-frequency operation.

FAQ
What is the key functional difference between LTC1701BES5#TRMPBF and LTC1701ES5#TRMPBF?
The LTC1701BES5#TRMPBF operates continuously down to very low load currents, eliminating Burst Mode switching to minimize output voltage ripple. In contrast, the LTC1701ES5#TRMPBF enters Burst Mode below ~10mA load to improve light-load efficiency-introducing low-frequency ripple. Both share identical pinout, package, and electrical specs except for this operational mode distinction.
Can LTC1701BES5#TRMPBF be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, LTC1701BES5#TRMPBF supports ceramic output capacitors via its OPTI-LOOP™ compensation architecture. The ITH/RUN pin allows external RC network tuning to stabilize the control loop across low-ESR ceramics. However, designers must verify phase margin over temperature and load using the ITH pin as a test point, as ceramic ESL can shift resonance and reduce stability margins.
What is the maximum achievable output current for LTC1701BES5#TRMPBF at 3.3V input and 2.5V output?
At 3.3V input and 2.5V output, LTC1701BES5#TRMPBF delivers up to 500mA continuously under typical conditions (TA = 25°C, 1 oz copper, no airflow). Derating applies above 60°C ambient due to thermal limits: junction temperature must remain ≤125°C, and RDS(ON) increases to ~0.30Ω at 3.3V VIN, raising conduction loss.
How does the ITH/RUN pin function in LTC1701BES5#TRMPBF during startup and regulation?
During startup, an external pull-up resistor (e.g., 1MΩ from VIN) charges the ITH/RUN node; when voltage reaches ~0.8V, the device enables regulation and the error amplifier drives ITH/RUN to 1.25–2.25V. During normal operation, ITH/RUN voltage modulates with load to adjust peak inductor current-serving as both compensation node and real-time control signal for the current-mode loop.
Is LTC1701BES5#TRMPBF compatible with 1.8V output voltage setting?
Yes, LTC1701BES5#TRMPBF supports 1.8V output using the standard feedback divider formula: VOUT = 1.25V × (1 + R2/R1). For 1.8V, a common solution is R1 = 121kΩ and R2 = 53.6kΩ (1% tolerance). Layout best practices require routing the VFB trace away from noisy nodes (SW, inductor) and minimizing parasitic capacitance to preserve regulation accuracy.
