Product details
Overview
LTC3110IUF#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a 2A bidirectional buck-boost DC/DC regulator with integrated supercapacitor charger and active voltage balancer. It operates across 0.1V–5.5V VCAP and 1.8V–5.25V VSYS ranges, supports autonomous charge-to-backup switchover, delivers ±1% backup voltage accuracy, and features 1.2MHz fixed-frequency switching. It is deployed in server RAID systems requiring seamless power failover to supercapacitor banks.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3110IUF#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3110IUF#TRPBF pinout, LTC3110IUF#TRPBF application, or LTC3110IUF#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional current capability (±2A), programmable ±2% charge current limit (125mA–2A), VMID-based active capacitor balancing, Burst Mode quiescent current (40µA), and thermal performance in the 4mm × 4mm QFN-24 package.
Technical Context
The LTC3110IUF#TRPBF implements a proprietary four-switch buck-boost topology with internal MOSFETs (SWA–SWD) and integrated current sensing via RSEN. Its control architecture enables continuous conduction mode transitions between charge (VSYS → VCAP) and backup (VCAP → VSYS) without inductor current discontinuity or VSYS rail collapse.
Directional operation is governed by DIR pin hysteresis (1.045V/1.095V thresholds), while MODE pin selects between fixed-frequency PWM (low-noise, high-efficiency) and Burst Mode (ultra-low IQ). The VMID buffer actively regulates mid-rail voltage for two-series supercapacitors, suspending charge if VMID deviates beyond ±2.6V at VCAP = 5V.
Key Specifications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX77827AEWE+T | Single-direction (buck-only) charger + separate boost backup IC; requires dual IC solution | Lacks integrated bidirectional path and VMID balancing; needs external balancer for supercaps | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs board space constraints and balancing is handled externally |
| TPS63802DSKR | Unidirectional buck-boost with no charge function; no PROG, FBVCAP, or VMID pins | Suitable only for fixed-rail backup; cannot program charge current or terminate charge autonomously | Choose only for non-rechargeable backup scenarios where VCAP is pre-charged and static |
Compared with MAX77827AEWE+T and TPS63802DSKR, the LTC3110IUF#TRPBF uniquely integrates bidirectional power flow, programmable charge termination, and active supercapacitor balancing in one QFN package-reducing BOM count by 2–3 components and eliminating external balancing circuitry.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current capability of the LTC3110IUF#TRPBF in backup mode?
The LTC3110IUF#TRPBF supports 2A continuous bidirectional current in both charge and backup modes. Its internal MOSFETs (SWA–SWD) and 4mm × 4mm QFN package with exposed PGND pad enable this rating at full junction temperature (125°C) with proper PCB thermal design. Peak current capability reaches 6A per switch, but sustained operation is specified at 2A.
How does the LTC3110IUF#TRPBF implement supercapacitor voltage balancing?
The LTC3110IUF#TRPBF uses its VMID pin to actively regulate the midpoint voltage of two-series supercapacitors. When VCAP = 5V, VMID is held to 2.5V ±2.6V; if deviation exceeds this window, charging is suspended until balance is restored. The IC delivers ±300mA balancing current and includes hysteresis to prevent oscillation during recovery.
Can the LTC3110IUF#TRPBF operate with VCAP below 1V?
Yes-the LTC3110IUF#TRPBF supports VCAP down to 0.1V in backup mode and 1.8V in charge-start conditions. Its proprietary switching algorithm maintains regulation even when VCAP is significantly lower than VSYS (e.g., 0.5V VCAP → 3.3V VSYS), enabling deep discharge utilization of supercapacitors and extending hold-up time.
What is the role of the PROG pin on the LTC3110IUF#TRPBF?
The PROG pin on the LTC3110IUF#TRPBF sets the average charge current (IVSYS) by connecting a resistor to SGND. With RPROG = 1.5kΩ–24.3kΩ, it programs 125mA–2A with ±2% accuracy. The IC uses 200µA/A gain, so 2A corresponds to 400µA into PROG-enabling precise, resistor-based current limiting without external sense amplifiers.
Does the LTC3110IUF#TRPBF require external compensation components?
No-the LTC3110IUF#TRPBF integrates all compensation circuitry internally. Its voltage-mode control loop for VSYS regulation and proprietary algorithm for VCAP/VSYS ratio management eliminate the need for external compensation networks. Only standard input/output capacitors and the buck-boost inductor are required for full operation.
