Product details
Overview
LTC3110IFE#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a 2A bidirectional buck-boost DC/DC regulator and supercapacitor/battery charger-balancer. It operates across 0.1V–5.5V VCAP and 1.8V–5.25V VSYS ranges, features ±1% backup voltage accuracy, 1.2MHz fixed switching frequency, and autonomous charge-to-backup switchover-enabling reliable power backup in RAID systems and RF infrastructure.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3110IFE#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3110IFE#TRPBF pinout, LTC3110IFE#TRPBF application, or LTC3110IFE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional current capability (2A), programmable ±2% charge current limit (125mA–2A), integrated VMID balancing buffer, Burst Mode quiescent current (40µA), and TSSOP-24 thermal performance (θJA = 33°C/W).
Technical Context
The LTC3110IFE#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), while MODE pin selects between fixed-frequency PWM (low-noise, high-current) and Burst Mode (ultra-low IQ).
Charge termination uses FBVCAP feedback with rising/falling thresholds (1.095V/1.061V) and overcharge detection (1.125V–1.175V); VMID actively balances series supercapacitors by regulating mid-voltage to 50% of VCAP with ±300mA balancing current capability. Shutdown current is 0.05–1µA with RUN pin control.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max Output Current | 2A continuous bidirectional current supports high-power backup and fast charging of 10F supercaps. |
| VCAP Range | 0.1V to 5.5V enables single-cell Li-ion, multi-cell supercaps, or low-voltage battery backup. |
| VSYS Range | 1.8V to 5.25V matches standard logic rails (1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, 5V) for seamless system integration. |
| Backup Voltage Accuracy | ±1% ensures stable system rail during brownouts without external calibration. |
| Switching Frequency | Fixed 1.2MHz (typ) enables compact magnetics and predictable EMI filtering. |
| Burst Mode IQ | 40µA quiescent current extends hold-up time in low-power backup standby. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.05–1µA minimizes leakage drain on backup capacitors during long-term storage. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 24-lead plastic TSSOP (FE), thermally enhanced with exposed PGND pad (Pin 25). θJA = 33°C/W on 4-layer board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CAPOK (1) | VCAP OK indicator | Open-drain output pulled low when FBVCAP < 1.061V; signals valid capacitor voltage for system readiness. |
| CMPOUT (2) | Comparator output | Open-drain signal tied to µC interrupt; asserts low when CMPIN > 0.65V for custom supervision. |
| MODE (3) | Operation mode select | High = fixed-frequency PWM (low noise); Low = Burst Mode (40µA IQ); no effect in charge mode. |
| CMPIN (4) | Comparator input | Hysteresis (0.59V/0.65V) enables robust voltage monitoring with optional RC filter for noise immunity. |
| FBVCAP (5) | End-of-charge feedback | Programs 1.1V–5.5V charge threshold with hysteresis; triggers foldback at 95% threshold. |
| DIR (7) | Direction control | Hysteresis (1.045V/1.095V) prevents chatter during power-fail transitions; enables µC or resistor-divider control. |
| PROG (10) | Charge current set | Resistor to SGND programs ICHRG from 125mA to 2A with ±2% accuracy (RPROG = 1.5kΩ–24.3kΩ). |
| VMID (24) | Capacitor balancing output | Active linear buffer regulates mid-point of series supercaps to 50% VCAP; ±300mA drive capability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Autonomous charge-to-backup switchover | Enables zero-intervention failover in server/RAID systems during AC loss without µC intervention. |
| Integrated VMID balancing buffer | Eliminates need for external balancing resistors or ICs in 2× supercap stacks, reducing BOM count and leakage. |
| Programmable ±2% charge current limit | Allows precise thermal and efficiency optimization across varying input sources (12V bus, PoE, USB-C PD). |
| ±1% backup voltage accuracy | Meets tight regulation requirements for FPGA configuration rails and memory retention without post-regulation LDOs. |
| 1.2MHz fixed switching frequency | Supports use of small 2.2µH inductors and ceramic output caps, minimizing solution footprint in space-constrained modules. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional buck-boost regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX77827AEWI+T | Single-direction (buck-only) charger + boost backup; no VMID balancer; 1.5A max current. | Requires external balancing circuitry for supercap stacks; limited to lower-current backup loads. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs balancing requirement and peak load ≤1.5A. |
| BQ24650RGER | Dedicated battery charger IC (no backup regulation); no bidirectional DC/DC; requires external boost converter for backup. | Suitable only for battery-charging-only systems; cannot regulate VSYS from VCAP without added components. | Choose only for pure charging applications where backup functionality is implemented separately. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous bidirectional current supported by the LTC3110IFE#TRPBF?
The LTC3110IFE#TRPBF supports 2A continuous bidirectional current in both charge and backup modes. Peak current capability reaches 6A (typ) under transient conditions, verified per datasheet Figure 16 and Absolute Maximum Ratings. This enables full-power operation into 10F supercap banks and 3.3V/2A system rails without derating at 125°C junction temperature.
How does the VMID pin function in supercapacitor balancing for the LTC3110IFE#TRPBF?
The VMID pin on the LTC3110IFE#TRPBF is an active linear balancing buffer that regulates the midpoint voltage of two series-connected supercapacitors to exactly 50% of VCAP. It delivers ±300mA balancing current and suspends charging if VMID deviates beyond ±2.4V–2.62V (hysteresis window) when VCAP > 2.2V-preventing overvoltage failure without external components.
Can the LTC3110IFE#TRPBF operate with VCAP lower than VSYS in backup mode?
Yes, the LTC3110IFE#TRPBF operates seamlessly in backup mode when VCAP is as low as 0.1V-even below VSYS. Its four-switch buck-boost architecture maintains regulation down to 0.1V VCAP while delivering up to 2A at 1.8V–5.25V VSYS, as confirmed in Typical Application TA01a and Electrical Characteristics Table (VCAP No-Load Operating Range).
What is the quiescent current of the LTC3110IFE#TRPBF in Burst Mode operation?
The LTC3110IFE#TRPBF draws 40µA quiescent current in Burst Mode operation, measured as total supply current (IVCAP + IVSYS + ISVSYS) with VMODE = 0V. This value is guaranteed over –40°C to +125°C and enables >6-month standby from a 10F/3.3V supercap bank with minimal self-discharge impact.
Is the LTC3110IFE#TRPBF pin-compatible with other variants in the LTC3110 family?
Yes, the LTC3110IFE#TRPBF shares identical pinout and footprint with all FE-package variants (LTC3110EFE#TRPBF, LTC3110HFE#TRPBF) and is mechanically interchangeable. Electrical specifications differ only in temperature grade (I-grade = –40°C to +125°C), but all FE variants use the same 24-lead TSSOP package with exposed PGND pad and identical pin functions per datasheet Rev C.
