Product details
Overview
LTC3111HMSE#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a synchronous 4-switch buck-boost DC/DC converter with 2.5V–15V input/output range, 1.5A continuous output current at 5V, 800kHz fixed switching frequency (synchronizable 600kHz–1.5MHz), and selectable Burst Mode® or PWM operation. It delivers up to 95% efficiency in PWM mode and enables regulated power delivery where VIN may be above, below, or equal to VOUT - ideal for multi-cell battery, backup capacitor, and wide-input industrial power systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3111HMSE#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3111HMSE#TRPBF pinout, LTC3111HMSE#TRPBF application, or LTC3111HMSE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its accurate RUN-pin UVLO threshold (1.15–1.23V enable), 49µA no-load quiescent current in Burst Mode®, output disconnect in shutdown (<1µA shutdown current), and thermally enhanced 16-lead MSOP package rated for –40°C to +150°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The LTC3111HMSE#TRPBF implements a proprietary 4-switch, single-inductor architecture that enables seamless buck-boost transitions without inductor current discontinuity or output voltage glitching. Its voltage-mode control loop uses an internal 0.8V reference and error amplifier with external Type III compensation on the COMP pin to maintain regulation across wide VIN/VOUT ratios.
It integrates low-RDS(ON) N-channel MOSFETs (90mΩ for SW1 switch A; 105mΩ for switches B/C/D), dual boosted gate drivers (BST1/BST2), and independent current limiting: 2.3–3.7A input current limit, 5.8A peak current limit, and –1A reverse current protection. Thermal shutdown activates at ~175°C, with automatic restart at ~170°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input/Output Range | 2.5V to 15V - supports single/dual/triple Li-ion, alkaline/NiMH, wall adapters, and supercapacitor backup sources without reconfiguration. |
| Continuous Output Current | 1.5A at VIN ≥ 5V, VOUT = 5V in PWM mode - sufficient for powering RF transmitters, FPGA I/O rails, or industrial sensors. |
| Switching Frequency | 800kHz nominal, synchronizable 600kHz–1.5MHz - enables EMI reduction via spread-spectrum sync and compact magnetics design. |
| Quiescent Current | 49µA in Burst Mode® - extends battery life in always-on, low-duty-cycle applications like remote telemetry nodes. |
| Efficiency | Up to 95% at 5VOUT, 1A load - minimizes thermal stress and improves power density in space-constrained enclosures. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +150°C junction - qualified for under-hood automotive, military, and high-reliability industrial environments. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - ensures negligible drain during system sleep or emergency cutoff. |
Pinout & Package
The LTC3111HMSE#TRPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 16-lead plastic MSOP package (3mm × 4.9mm × 1.0mm) with exposed PGND pad (Pin 17) requiring solder connection to PCB ground plane for optimal thermal performance (θJA = 40°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| COMP (Pin 1) | Error amplifier output | Connects to external R-C compensation network to stabilize voltage-mode control loop; determines transient response and phase margin. |
| FB (Pin 2) | Feedback voltage input | Senses resistor divider tap; sets VOUT = 0.8V × (1 + R1/R2) over 2.5V–15V range with ±2.5% accuracy. |
| SNSGND (Pin 3) | Sense ground reference | Provides dedicated low-noise return path for FB and RUN dividers; must be tied to clean signal ground, not PGND. |
| RUN (Pin 4) | Enable/UVLO control input | Enables IC when >1.15V (rising); disables at <1.08V (falling); allows custom input undervoltage lockout via resistive divider. |
| VIN (Pin 5) | Main input supply | Accepts 2.5V–15V; requires ≥10µF low-ESR ceramic bypass close to pin to suppress high-frequency switching noise. |
| SW1 (Pin 6) | Inductor node for switches A/B | Connects external inductor and internal high-side (A) and low-side (B) N-MOSFETs; carries full inductor current in buck/boost modes. |
| BST1 (Pin 7) | Floating gate drive supply for switch A | Requires 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to SW1 to generate boosted voltage for A-switch gate driver. |
| BST2 (Pin 10) | Floating gate drive supply for switch D | Requires 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to SW2 to generate boosted voltage for D-switch gate driver. |
| SW2 (Pin 11) | Inductor node for switches C/D | Connects same external inductor and internal high-side (C) and low-side (D) N-MOSFETs; complements SW1 in 4-switch topology. |
| VOUT (Pin 12) | Regulated output | Delivers stable output; requires local 22µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor with short ground return to minimize ripple and load step overshoot. |
| NC (Pin 13) | No-connect | Internally unconnected; must be tied to GND per layout guidelines to reduce EMI susceptibility. |
| VCC (Pin 14) | Internal bias supply | Regulated ~4.2V output tracking VIN up to clamp; powers internal circuitry and gate drivers; bypass with 1µF ceramic to SGND. |
| PWM/SYNC (Pin 15) | Mode control & frequency sync | <0.5V = Burst Mode®; >1.5V = 800kHz PWM; 600kHz–1.5MHz square wave = synchronized operation with 100ns min pulse width. |
| SGND (Pin 16) | Signal ground | Reference for FB, RUN, COMP, and VCC circuits; separate from PGND to avoid noise coupling into feedback path. |
| PGND (Exposed Pad Pin 17) | Power ground | Primary return for high-current switches and inductor; must be soldered to large copper pour with multiple thermal vias for thermal management. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 4-switch single-inductor architecture | Eliminates need for separate buck and boost stages; enables seamless VIN-to-VOUT transitions without output dropout or mode-switching artifacts. |
| Accurate RUN-pin UVLO with hysteresis | 120mV built-in hysteresis ensures clean power-up/power-down sequencing and prevents oscillation near threshold in noisy environments. |
| Output disconnect in shutdown | Prevents back-powering of upstream sources or loading of downstream circuits when disabled - critical for battery-powered systems with shared rails. |
| Internal soft-start (2ms typical) | Controls inrush current during startup; maintains regulation throughout soft-start and responds to load transients without delay. |
| Thermal shutdown with auto-restart | Protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking; disables all switches at ~175°C and resumes operation at ~170°C with soft-start reset. |
| Inductor damping in sleep/Burst Mode® | 1kΩ active impedance between SW1/SW2 and GND reduces ringing and conducted EMI when converter is idle or lightly loaded. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current capability of the LTC3111HMSE#TRPBF?
The LTC3111HMSE#TRPBF delivers 1.5A continuous output current when VIN ≥ 5V and VOUT = 5V in PWM mode. At lower input voltages (e.g., VIN = 3.3V), output current is limited by the 2.3–3.7A input current limit and thermal constraints. Derating applies above +85°C ambient due to junction temperature limits - consult the die temperature rise curves in the datasheet for board-specific derating.
Does the LTC3111HMSE#TRPBF support synchronization to an external clock?
Yes, the LTC3111HMSE#TRPBF supports external synchronization via the PWM/SYNC pin. Applying a square wave between 600kHz and 1.5MHz overrides the internal 800kHz oscillator. The signal must have minimum high/low times ≥100ns. This feature enables EMI reduction through frequency dithering or alignment with system clocks in multi-rail power architectures.
How does the RUN pin function on the LTC3111HMSE#TRPBF?
The RUN pin on the LTC3111HMSE#TRPBF serves dual functions: logic enable/disable (drive >1.15V to enable, <1.08V to disable) and programmable input UVLO. Using a resistive divider from VIN to RUN sets precise turn-on/turn-off thresholds - e.g., 1.2V × (1 + R5/R6). Hysteresis (~120mV) prevents chatter near threshold. Leaving RUN unconnected disables the device.
What is the purpose of the BST1 and BST2 pins on the LTC3111HMSE#TRPBF?
BST1 and BST2 are floating gate-drive supplies for the high-side N-channel MOSFETs (switches A and D). Each requires a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor connected between the BST pin and its respective switch node (SW1 for BST1, SW2 for BST2) to generate the boosted voltage needed to fully enhance the high-side FETs - essential for achieving low RDS(ON) and high efficiency across the full input range.
Can the LTC3111HMSE#TRPBF operate with input voltage below the output voltage?
Yes, the LTC3111HMSE#TRPBF is explicitly designed for buck-boost operation where VIN may be above, below, or equal to VOUT - supported by its 4-switch architecture and seamless mode transition. For example, it regulates 5V output from a 3.3V input (boost mode) or 12V input (buck mode) without external reconfiguration, making it ideal for variable-source applications like multi-cell batteries.
