Product details
Overview
LTC3112HDHD#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-efficiency, synchronous 4-switch buck-boost DC/DC converter with extended input (2.7V–15V) and output (2.5V–14V) ranges, delivering up to 2.5A continuous output current at 5VOUT in PWM mode, and featuring integrated N-channel MOSFETs, output disconnect in shutdown, and current monitoring via IOUT pin - used in battery-powered RF transmitters and multi-input power systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3112HDHD#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3112HDHD#TRPBF pinout, LTC3112HDHD#TRPBF application, or LTC3112HDHD#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its –40°C to 150°C junction temperature rating, 750kHz synchronizable switching frequency, selectable Burst Mode® operation (50µA IQ), and 4mm × 5mm DFN package with exposed thermal pad.
Technical Context
The LTC3112HDHD#TRPBF implements a proprietary 4-switch, single-inductor architecture enabling seamless regulation when VIN is above, below, or equal to VOUT - eliminating mode transitions and associated output glitches. Its voltage-mode control loop uses an error amplifier (COMP) with external compensation to stabilize output under dynamic load conditions.
It integrates four low-RDS(ON) N-channel MOSFETs (Switch A: 40mΩ; Switches B/C: 50mΩ; Switch D: 60mΩ), supports programmable overvoltage protection (OVP), and features dual current limiting: average current limit (6A typical) with soft recovery and peak current limit (10A typical) for hard short protection - all operating within its guaranteed –40°C to 150°C junction range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 15V - supports single/multi-cell Li-ion, backup capacitors, and wall adapters without external pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Range | 2.5V to 14V - adjustable via FB resistor divider; enables 3.3V, 5V, or 12V rails from variable sources. |
| Max Continuous Output Current | 2.5A at VIN ≥ 5V, VOUT = 5V, PWM mode - sufficient for RF power amplifiers and industrial sensors. |
| Switching Frequency | 750kHz (typical), synchronizable 300kHz–1.5MHz - balances efficiency, size, and EMI in compact layouts. |
| Quiescent Current (Burst Mode) | 50µA - extends battery life in always-on portable instrumentation with intermittent load bursts. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - enables true zero-power standby in energy-harvesting or backup power systems. |
| Thermal Rating | Junction temperature range –40°C to 150°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial controls, and high-ambient environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead (5mm × 4mm × 0.75mm) plastic DFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 17), requiring soldering to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 1, 10, 11, Exposed Pad 17) | Power and signal ground reference | Exposed pad is primary thermal path; must be connected to large copper area with multiple vias for ≤43°C/W θJA. |
| PWM/SYNC (Pin 16) | Mode control and clock synchronization input | DC voltage <0.5V enables Burst Mode; >1.5V forces 750kHz PWM; external 300–1500kHz square wave overrides internal oscillator. |
| VIN (Pins 4, 5) | Main input supply connection | Accepts 2.7–15V; requires ≥10µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pins for transient response and noise suppression. |
| VOUT (Pin 8) | Regulated output voltage node | Delivers up to 2.5A; requires ≥47µF low-ESR ceramic output capacitor with short, low-inductance return path to GND. |
| SW1 (Pins 12, 13) | Switch node for internal MOSFETs A and B | Connects to one end of external inductor; BST1 capacitor (0.1µF) must be placed between BST1 and SW1. |
| SW2 (Pins 9, 10) | Switch node for internal MOSFETs C and D | Connects to other end of external inductor; BST2 capacitor (0.1µF) must be placed between BST2 and SW2. |
| IOUT (Pin 7) | Analog current monitor output | Sources 24µA per ampere of SW2-to-VOUT output current; enables real-time load current sensing or closed-loop current regulation. |
| RUN (Pin 6) | Enable/shutdown control | Drives device into ultra-low-IQ shutdown (<1µA) when pulled below 0.75V; hysteresis prevents chatter near threshold. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 4-switch synchronous buck-boost topology | Enables continuous, glitch-free regulation across VIN/VOUT crossover - eliminates need for separate buck and boost stages in wide-input systems. |
| Integrated N-channel MOSFETs | Low RDS(ON): Switch A = 40mΩ, Switches B/C = 50mΩ, Switch D = 60mΩ - reduces conduction loss and external component count. |
| Output disconnect in shutdown | Prevents backfeed from VOUT to VIN during disable - critical for battery-backed systems where reverse leakage must be avoided. |
| Programmable overvoltage protection (OVP) | OVP threshold set by external resistor divider on OVP pin (0.83V reference); protects downstream circuitry from regulator fault or feedback failure. |
| Internal soft-start (2ms typical) | Controls output voltage ramp rate independently of output capacitance or load - ensures predictable inrush current and avoids system reset events. |
Applications
| RF Transmitter Power Supply | Battery Backup Systems |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck-boost regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3115IDHD#TRPBF | Higher 36V max input, 4A output, 2MHz sync capability; larger 5mm × 6mm DFN package. | Better suited for 24V industrial inputs or higher-current LED drivers; not drop-in due to different pinout and layout footprint. | Select when input exceeds 15V or output current >2.5A is required; verify PCB rework for thermal pad and routing. |
| TPS63020DSJR | Lower 5.5V max input, 3A output, fixed 1.2MHz switching; no OVP, no IOUT monitor, smaller 2mm × 2mm WSON. | Targeted at space-constrained consumer devices with stable 3.3V–5V inputs; lacks protection and monitoring features needed for industrial use. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, low-ambient-temperature applications where 150°C rating and OVP are unnecessary. |
Compared with LTC3112HDHD#TRPBF, LTC3115IDHD#TRPBF offers higher voltage/current headroom at the cost of board area and complexity, while TPS63020DSJR sacrifices robustness and monitoring for miniaturization - making LTC3112HDHD#TRPBF optimal for thermally demanding, multi-source industrial power rails.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the LTC3112HDHD#TRPBF?
The LTC3112HDHD#TRPBF is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to 150°C junction temperature. This H-grade qualification distinguishes it from E-grade (–40°C to 125°C) and I-grade (–40°C to 125°C) variants, making LTC3112HDHD#TRPBF suitable for under-hood automotive, industrial motor drives, and high-ambient equipment where thermal margin is critical.
Does the LTC3112HDHD#TRPBF support output voltage adjustment, and what is the range?
Yes, the LTC3112HDHD#TRPBF supports adjustable output voltage from 2.5V to 14V using a resistor divider on the FB pin, based on a 0.8V internal reference. The formula is VOUT = 0.8V × (1 + R1/R2), where R1 connects VOUT to FB and R2 connects FB to GND - enabling precise tailoring of LTC3112HDHD#TRPBF for 3.3V logic rails, 5V USB peripherals, or 12V analog subsystems.
How does the IOUT pin on the LTC3112HDHD#TRPBF function, and what is its accuracy?
The IOUT pin on the LTC3112HDHD#TRPBF sources 24µA per ampere of SW2-to-VOUT output current, enabling analog current monitoring or closed-loop regulation. At 1.5A load, IOUT accuracy is ±12µA (±0.5A equivalent), verified across temperature and load conditions - allowing LTC3112HDHD#TRPBF to replace discrete current-sense amplifiers in battery fuel gauging or LED thermal management circuits.
Can the LTC3112HDHD#TRPBF operate with input voltage lower than output voltage, and how is this achieved?
Yes, the LTC3112HDHD#TRPBF operates seamlessly in boost mode when VIN < VOUT, using its 4-switch architecture to lift voltage without discontinuity. When VIN drops below VOUT (e.g., 3.3V input to 5V output), internal switches C and D conduct while A and B modulate - maintaining regulation with >92% efficiency at 1A, confirmed in LTC3112HDHD#TRPBF's typical performance curves (Figure G03a).
What thermal design practices are required for reliable operation of the LTC3112HDHD#TRPBF at full load?
Reliable full-load operation of the LTC3112HDHD#TRPBF requires soldering the exposed thermal pad (Pin 17) to a minimum 250mm² internal or bottom-layer copper pour with ≥6 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter) to inner ground planes. Per datasheet Figure G24–G26, this achieves ≤35°C die rise at 2.5A/5VOUT - exceeding the 150°C junction limit only if ambient exceeds 115°C, confirming LTC3112HDHD#TRPBF's suitability for sealed industrial enclosures.
