Product details
Overview
LTC3111MPDE#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-reliability, synchronous 4-switch buck-boost DC/DC converter with extended 2.5V–15V input/output range, 1.5A continuous output current at 5V, 800kHz fixed-frequency PWM operation, and –55°C to +150°C operating junction temperature. It enables regulated power delivery where VIN may be above, below, or equal to VOUT - ideal for military-grade battery-backed systems, RF transmitters, and industrial backup power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3111MPDE#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3111MPDE#TRPBF pinout, LTC3111MPDE#TRPBF application, or LTC3111MPDE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its wide VIN/VOUT overlap capability, programmable RUN threshold for custom UVLO, 49µA no-load quiescent current in Burst Mode®, and thermal robustness across extreme ambient conditions.
Technical Context
The LTC3111MPDE#TRPBF implements a proprietary 4-switch, single-inductor architecture that enables seamless mode transitions (buck → buck-boost → boost) without inductor current discontinuity or output voltage glitch. Its voltage-mode control loop uses an internal 0.8V reference and error amplifier with external Type III compensation on the COMP pin.
It integrates low-RDS(ON) N-channel MOSFETs (90mΩ for SW1, 105mΩ for SW2/BST switches), dual current limiting (2.3A input limit, 5.8A peak), reverse current protection (–1A), and thermally adaptive current derating above ~170°C. The RUN pin provides precise enable/disable thresholds (1.15V rising, 1.08V falling) with 120mV hysteresis, while PWM/SYNC supports synchronization from 600kHz to 1.5MHz.

Pinout & Package
Package: 14-lead (3mm × 4mm × 0.75mm) plastic DFN with exposed PGND pad (Pin 15), rated for –55°C to +150°C operation. Thermal resistance θJA = 43°C/W; exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SGND (Pin 1) | Signal Ground Reference | Return path for FB and RUN dividers; isolated from PGND to minimize noise coupling into feedback loop. |
| PWM/SYNC (Pin 2) | Mode Control & Sync Input | DC voltage <0.5V forces Burst Mode; >1.5V enables 800kHz PWM; 600–1500kHz square wave overrides internal oscillator. |
| VCC (Pin 3) | Internal Bias Supply | Regulated ~4.2V supply for gate drivers and logic; tracks VIN up to clamp, accepts external 2.5–5.5V source. |
| NC (Pin 4) | No Connect | Internally unconnected; must be tied to SGND per layout guidelines to prevent floating node EMI. |
| VOUT (Pin 5) | Regulated Output | Delivers up to 1.5A; requires local 22µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor with short ground return path. |
| SW2 (Pin 6) | Boost-Side Switch Node | Connects to inductor and internal switches C/D; requires 0.1µF BST2 capacitor to SW2 for gate drive. |
| BST2 (Pin 7) | Boost Driver Supply for SW2 | Floating supply for high-side D-switch driver; capacitor to SW2 provides charge pump voltage. |
| COMP (Pin 8) | Error Amplifier Output | Drives external Type III compensation network (RFF, CFF, CFB) to stabilize control loop across all modes. |
| FB (Pin 9) | Feedback Input | Monitors VOUT via resistor divider; 0.8V reference sets output: VOUT = 0.8V × (1 + R1/R2). |
| SNSGND (Pin 10) | Sense Ground | Dedicated analog ground for current sensing paths; must connect directly to PGND at single point. |
| RUN (Pin 11) | Enable & UVLO Programming | Resistive divider from VIN sets turn-on (1.15V) and turn-off (1.08V) thresholds; hysteresis prevents chatter. |
| VIN (Pin 12) | Main Input Supply | Accepts 2.5–15V; requires ≥10µF low-ESR/low-ESL ceramic bypass close to pin with minimal loop area. |
| SW1 (Pin 13) | Buck-Side Switch Node | Connects to inductor and internal switches A/B; requires 0.1µF BST1 capacitor to SW1 for gate drive. |
| BST1 (Pin 14) | Boost Driver Supply for SW1 | Floating supply for high-side A-switch driver; capacitor to SW1 enables efficient high-side conduction. |
| PGND (Pin 15) | Power Ground | Exposed thermal pad; must be soldered to large PCB ground plane with multiple vias for thermal dissipation and low-impedance return. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the LTC3111MPDE#TRPBF?
The LTC3111MPDE#TRPBF delivers 1.5A continuous output current when VOUT = 5V and VIN ≥ 5V in PWM mode. At other output voltages or in Burst Mode®, current capability decreases due to thermal and switching constraints. The device includes 2.3A input current limit and 5.8A peak current protection to safeguard against overload.
Does the LTC3111MPDE#TRPBF support synchronization to an external clock?
Yes, the LTC3111MPDE#TRPBF supports external frequency synchronization via its PWM/SYNC pin. Applying a square wave signal between 600kHz and 1.5MHz overrides the internal 800kHz oscillator. The signal must maintain ≥100ns minimum high/low time to ensure reliable PLL lock, enabling EMI reduction through spread-spectrum or fixed-frequency coordination.
How does the RUN pin function on the LTC3111MPDE#TRPBF?
The RUN pin on the LTC3111MPDE#TRPBF serves dual functions: digital enable/disable control and programmable input UVLO. When driven above 1.15V (rising), it enables the converter; below 1.08V (falling), it disables it. A resistive divider from VIN sets custom turn-on/turn-off thresholds, providing system-level brownout protection without external supervisors.
What is the purpose of the BST1 and BST2 pins on the LTC3111MPDE#TRPBF?
BST1 and BST2 are bootstrap driver 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 or SW2). This forms a charge pump that generates gate drive voltage above the switch node potential, enabling full enhancement of the high-side FETs in buck and boost phases.
Can the LTC3111MPDE#TRPBF operate with input voltage lower than output voltage?
Yes, the LTC3111MPDE#TRPBF is explicitly designed for buck-boost operation where VIN may be below, above, or equal to VOUT - supported across its full 2.5V–15V input and output range. Its 4-switch architecture ensures continuous conduction mode transitions without dropout, making it ideal for battery-powered systems where input voltage declines across discharge cycles.
