Product details
Overview
LTC3114MPFE-1#PBF from Analog Devices is a 40V, 1A synchronous buck-boost DC/DC converter with programmable average output current, wide input (2.2V–40V) and output (2.7V–40V) voltage ranges, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive power systems. It delivers up to 96% efficiency in PWM mode, supports seamless buck/boost transitions, and integrates four internal N-channel MOSFETs with 250mΩ RDS(ON). It is used in 12V/24V solar battery charging and high-power LED driver applications.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3114MPFE-1#PBF datasheet, LTC3114MPFE-1#PBF pinout, LTC3114MPFE-1#PBF application, or LTC3114MPFE-1#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its –55°C to 150°C operating junction temperature range, programmable output current via PROG pin (±5% accuracy), 1.2MHz fixed-frequency PWM operation, and TSSOP-16 package with exposed PGND pad for thermal management.
Technical Context
The LTC3114MPFE-1#PBF employs average current mode control with a proprietary four-switch buck-boost topology that enables continuous regulation when VIN is above, below, or equal to VOUT. Its 1.2MHz oscillator ensures low-noise operation and compact external component sizing.
It integrates an internal 4.4V LDO (PLDO/LDO pins) for gate driver supply and control circuitry, with accurate RUN pin threshold (1.205V typ, 140mV hysteresis) for programmable UVLO, and Burst Mode® operation achieving 30µA no-load IQ when bootstrapped. Overtemperature, short-circuit, and soft-start protections are built-in.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.2V to 40V - supports wide-source inputs including 12V lead-acid, 24V industrial rails, and unregulated solar panels. |
| Output Voltage Range | 2.7V to 40V - configurable via FB resistor divider; enables single-inductor regulation across buck/boost boundaries. |
| Max Output Current | 1A in buck mode - sufficient for high-brightness LED strings or 5V/1A system rails without external current boosting. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.2MHz ±200kHz - enables use of small 6.8µH inductors and low-ESR ceramic capacitors for space-constrained designs. |
| Efficiency | Up to 96% - achieved at mid-load in PWM mode; Burst Mode reduces no-load IQ to 30µA for always-on automotive modules. |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to 150°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade MP, enabling under-hood and industrial control cabinet deployment. |
| PROG Current Gain | 40µA/A - allows precise average output current programming (e.g., 500mA → 20µA on PROG) with <±5% setpoint accuracy. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead plastic TSSOP (FE) with exposed PGND pad (Pin 17), 3.2mm × 4.4mm footprint, θJA = 38°C/W. Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB ground plane for rated thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PGND (1, 17) | Power Ground | Main return path for high-current switches; exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and EMI control. |
| SW2 (2) | Buck-Boost Switch Node | Connects to one end of inductor; carries full switching current in both buck and boost modes. |
| PVOUT (3) | Power Output | High-current output node; requires ≥10µF low-ESR capacitor placed adjacent to IC with short PGND return. |
| RUN (4) | Enable / UVLO Control | Enables IC when >1.205V; hysteresis ensures clean turn-on/turn-off; supports custom input undervoltage lockout. |
| PROG (5) | Current Sense Output | Delivers 40µA per ampere of switch D current; used to program average output current or monitor load via external RC network. |
| VC (6) | Error Amplifier Output | Compensation node requiring external RC network (CP1, CP2, RZ) for loop stability across all operating conditions. |
| FB (7) | Voltage Feedback Input | Sets output voltage via resistor divider; nominal 1.0V reference enables precise VOUT = 1 + RTOP/RBOT. |
| GND (8) | Signal Ground | Reference for control circuitry; must be tied to system ground but kept separate from noisy PGND traces until star point. |
| LDO / PLDO (9, 11) | Internal Regulator I/O | LDO powers control logic; PLDO supplies gate drivers; pins must be connected together with ≥4.7µF bypass capacitor. |
| VIN / PVIN (10, 14) | Input Supply Nodes | VIN powers internal VCC regulator; PVIN is main power input; both must be connected with low-inductance path and ≥10µF local capacitance. |
| BST1 / BST2 (12, 13) | Flying Capacitor Terminals | Drive gate drivers for SW1/SW2 via 68nF bootstrap caps; require shortest possible PCB traces to minimize ringing and loss. |
| SW1 (15) | Buck-Boost Switch Node | Second inductor connection point; operates complementarily to SW2 depending on mode (buck/boost/transition). |
| MODE (16) | Operation Mode Select | High = forced PWM (1.2MHz); Low = Burst Mode (30µA IQ); auto-transitions to PWM at higher loads. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Four-switch synchronous buck-boost topology | Eliminates need for external diodes or complex controller+MOSFET combinations; enables seamless VIN/VOUT crossover without output glitches. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck-boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3115EDHC-1#PBF | Same architecture, 3mm × 5mm DFN package, –40°C to 125°C rating; lower max junction temperature and no AEC-Q100 qualification. | Suitable for commercial/industrial designs where extended temperature and automotive reliability are not required. | Select when board space is constrained and automotive qualification is unnecessary; DFN offers better θJC but lacks MP-grade ruggedness. |
| MAX20406AATL+ | 36V, 2.5A buck-boost with I2C interface; different control scheme (peak current mode); no PROG-based current programming. | Preferred for digitally controlled power trees requiring dynamic voltage scaling or telemetry reporting. | Choose only if digital configuration and higher current are needed; not drop-in due to different pinout, control interface, and lack of analog current programming. |
Compared with LTC3114MPFE-1#PBF, the LTC3115EDHC-1#PBF offers identical functionality in a smaller DFN but sacrifices automotive qualification and extended temperature range, while the MAX20406AATL+ adds digital control at the cost of analog programmability and direct replacement feasibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the LTC3114MPFE-1#PBF?
The LTC3114MPFE-1#PBF is rated for a maximum junction temperature of 150°C and guaranteed to operate over –55°C to 150°C, meeting AEC-Q100 Grade MP requirements. This specification is validated through design, characterization, and statistical process controls-not just tested at extremes-and enables reliable deployment in under-hood automotive and high-ambient industrial settings where thermal derating is critical.
How does the PROG pin enable accurate average output current programming in the LTC3114MPFE-1#PBF?
The PROG pin on the LTC3114MPFE-1#PBF outputs a current proportional to switch D current at 40µA per ampere, allowing precise average output current setting via a single resistor to ground. With factory-trimmed gain and offset, the LTC3114MPFE-1#PBF achieves ±5% accuracy across temperature and line conditions-enabling reliable constant-current LED driving or battery charging without external sense resistors or amplifiers.
Can the LTC3114MPFE-1#PBF regulate output voltage when input voltage equals output voltage?
Yes, the LTC3114MPFE-1#PBF maintains seamless regulation when VIN = VOUT using its proprietary four-switch buck-boost topology. Unlike traditional SEPIC or flyback converters, it avoids discontinuous conduction mode or efficiency drops at unity ratio-delivering stable output with minimal ripple and no transient glitches during crossover, making it ideal for applications like 12V-to-12V regulation in automotive systems.
What is the purpose of the BST1 and BST2 pins on the LTC3114MPFE-1#PBF?
The BST1 and BST2 pins on the LTC3114MPFE-1#PBF serve as flying capacitor terminals for bootstrapping the gate drivers of internal N-channel MOSFETs SW1 and SW2. Each connects via a 68nF capacitor to its respective switch node to generate the elevated gate drive voltage required for full enhancement-ensuring low RDS(ON) operation and minimizing conduction losses across the entire input range.
Does the LTC3114MPFE-1#PBF support both Burst Mode and PWM operation, and how is mode selection implemented?
Yes, the LTC3114MPFE-1#PBF supports both Burst Mode and PWM operation. MODE pin voltage selects the primary mode: high (>0.9V) forces continuous 1.2MHz PWM; low (<0.5V) enables Burst Mode, which reduces no-load quiescent current to 30µA. At higher loads, it automatically transitions to PWM-eliminating manual intervention while optimizing efficiency across the full load range.
