Product details
Overview
LTC3110EFE#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a 2A bidirectional buck-boost DC/DC regulator with integrated capacitor charger and active balancing buffer, operating across 0.1V–5.5V VCAP and 1.8V–5.25V VSYS ranges. It delivers ±1% backup voltage accuracy, programmable ±2% charge current (125mA–2A), and automatic switchover between charge and backup modes - enabling reliable supercapacitor-based backup in RAID systems and RF infrastructure.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3110EFE#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3110EFE#TRPBF pinout, LTC3110EFE#TRPBF application, or LTC3110EFE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include bidirectional current control, VMID-based active capacitor balancing, Burst Mode® quiescent current (40µA), shutdown current (<1µA), and TSSOP-24 thermal performance (θJA = 33°C/W).
Technical Context
The LTC3110EFE#TRPBF implements a proprietary four-switch buck-boost topology with independent control of SW1 (switches A/B) and SW2 (switches C/D), enabling seamless voltage regulation when VCAP is above, below, or equal to VSYS without inductor current discontinuity. Its direction logic is governed by DIR pin hysteresis (1.045V/1.095V thresholds) and mode selection via MODE pin (Burst vs. PWM).
Charge current is set by RPROG (1.5kΩ–24.3kΩ), yielding 125mA–2A ICHARGE with 200µA/A gain; backup output voltage is trimmed via FB (0.6V reference) with ±1% accuracy; VMID actively balances series supercapacitors by sourcing/sinking up to ±300mA while maintaining VCAP/2 ratio within ±0.8%.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VCAP Operating Range | 0.1V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, NiMH, or wide-range supercapacitor stacks |
| VSYS Operating Range | 1.8V to 5.25V - matches common system rails including 3.3V and 5V microcontroller domains |
| Max Bidirectional Current | 2A continuous - sustains full load during backup without derating at TJ ≤ 125°C |
| Backup Voltage Accuracy | ±1% - ensures stable system supply under varying temperature and load conditions |
| Quiescent Current (Burst) | 40µA - minimizes standby drain on backup capacitors during long-term hold-up |
| Switching Frequency | Fixed 1.2MHz - enables compact 2.2µH inductor and low-profile ceramic output capacitors |

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CAPOK (1) | VCAP voltage OK indicator | Open-drain output pulled low when FBVCAP < 1.061V; signals valid charge completion |
| CMPOUT (2) | General-purpose comparator output | Open-drain signal tied to µC interrupt; asserts low when CMPIN > 0.65V |
| MODE (3) | Burst/PWM mode select | Logic high enables fixed-frequency PWM; low enables Burst Mode for light-load efficiency |
| CMPIN (4) | Comparator input with hysteresis | 0.59V/0.65V thresholds; used for custom voltage supervision or system fault detection |
| FBVCAP (5) | VCAP end-of-charge feedback | Programmable 1.095V rising threshold; sets final capacitor voltage with ±2% accuracy |
| SGND (6) | Signal ground reference | Separate analog ground for FB, PROG, CMPIN - prevents noise coupling into feedback paths |
| DIR (7) | Charge/backup mode selector | Hysteresis (1.045V/1.095V) enables autonomous switchover on power failure |
| RUN (8) | Shutdown control input | ≤0.3V disables IC; ≥1.0V enables operation - supports system-level power sequencing |
| FB (9) | VSYS feedback input | 0.6V reference; sets regulated backup voltage via external resistor divider |
| PROG (10) | Charge current programming | Resistor to SGND sets average ICHARGE (125mA–2A) with 200µA/A gain |
| CHRG (11) | Charge mode indicator | Open-drain output low during charging; high during backup - direct status monitoring |
| SVSYS (12) | Signal supply for controller | Must be shorted to VSYS or RC-filtered - ensures stable internal bias under transients |
| VSYS (13,15) | Bidirectional system rail | Carries charge current into storage or backup current to load - requires local 47µF bypass |
| RSEN (14) | Current sense node | Internal connection to switch D; limits sensed DC current to ≤1.6A for protection |
| SW2 (16,17) | Switch node C/D | Connects to one side of buck-boost inductor; high di/dt path requiring short, wide trace |
| PGND (18,19,25) | Power ground return | Exposed pad (Pin 25) must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and EMI performance |
| SW1 (20,21) | Switch node A/B | Connects to opposite inductor terminal; complements SW2 for 4-switch operation |
| VCAP (22,23) | Bidirectional storage rail | Charges supercaps/batteries from VSYS or supplies backup power to VSYS - dual-path conduction |
| VMID (24) | Active balancing buffer | Sources/sinks ±300mA to maintain midpoint voltage of series capacitors at VCAP/2 |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current capability of the LTC3110EFE#TRPBF in backup mode?
The LTC3110EFE#TRPBF delivers up to 2A continuous output current in backup mode at TJ ≤ 125°C, verified per datasheet Figure G04 and Electrical Characteristics table (DC current limit min = 3.5A). This rating assumes proper PCB layout with exposed PGND pad soldered and thermal vias to inner ground planes. Derating applies above 125°C junction temperature due to thermal foldback.
How does the LTC3110EFE#TRPBF implement automatic supercapacitor balancing without external components?
The LTC3110EFE#TRPBF uses its dedicated VMID pin to actively source or sink up to ±300mA, regulating the midpoint voltage of two series-connected supercapacitors to precisely VCAP/2 (±0.8%). This function operates only when VCAP > 2.2V and suspends charging if VMID deviates beyond hysteresis window - eliminating need for discrete op-amps or FETs in balancing circuits.
Can the LTC3110EFE#TRPBF operate with a single 2.7V supercapacitor, and what is the minimum VCAP for startup?
Yes, the LTC3110EFE#TRPBF supports single supercapacitors down to 0.1V VCAP. Startup occurs at VCAP ≥ 1.8V when VSYS is below undervoltage lockout (1.55V–1.71V), per Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. For reliable operation with 2.7V supercaps, ensure FBVCAP threshold is set ≥2.5V to avoid premature charge termination.
What is the role of the SVSYS pin on the LTC3110EFE#TRPBF, and how must it be connected?
The SVSYS pin on the LTC3110EFE#TRPBF supplies bias to internal control circuitry and must be connected directly to VSYS or filtered via RC network (e.g., 51.1Ω + 220nF) to suppress noise. Leaving SVSYS unconnected or floating causes unstable regulation and potential latch-up. The pin shares the same voltage domain as VSYS but isolates sensitive analog references from power-switching transients.
Does the LTC3110EFE#TRPBF support programmable end-of-charge voltage, and how is it configured?
Yes, the LTC3110EFE#TRPBF supports programmable end-of-charge voltage via the FBVCAP pin. A resistor divider from VCAP to PGND sets the voltage at FBVCAP; when this reaches the rising threshold (1.095V typ), charging terminates. The threshold is adjustable from 1.1V to 5.5V, enabling precise control of final supercap voltage to prevent overvoltage stress.
