Product details
Overview
LTC3115EDHD-2#PBF from Analog Devices is a 40V, 2A monolithic synchronous buck-boost DC/DC converter optimized for fast input transients (<1ms), featuring 2.7V–40V input/output voltage range, programmable 100kHz–2MHz switching frequency, and 95% peak efficiency. It delivers 2A in step-down mode (VIN ≥ 6V) and supports automotive power systems with AEC-Q100 qualification.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3115EDHD-2#PBF datasheet, LTC3115EDHD-2#PBF pinout, LTC3115EDHD-2#PBF application, or LTC3115EDHD-2#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include input transient immunity, wide VIN/VOUT compatibility, burst-mode quiescent current (30µA), thermal performance in DFN package, and synchronization capability up to 2MHz.
Technical Context
The LTC3115EDHD-2#PBF implements a four-switch buck-boost topology with internal N-channel DMOS switches (150mΩ each), enabling seamless transitions between buck, boost, and pass-through modes without output disturbance. Its proprietary voltage-mode control loop maintains regulation when VIN is above, below, or equal to VOUT.
It integrates a programmable oscillator (RT-pin controlled), internal soft-start (9ms), input undervoltage lockout (2.7V threshold with 100mV hysteresis), and dual gate drivers supporting bootstrapped operation for SW1 and SW2. The device features output disconnect in shutdown and reverse current limiting (–1.5A into PVOUT).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 40V - supports lead-acid battery, FireWire, unregulated wall adapters, and industrial 24V/28V rails without external pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Range | 2.7V to 40V - enables single-supply generation of 3.3V, 5V, 12V, or 24V from variable inputs. |
| Max Output Current | 2A in step-down (VIN ≥ 6V) - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and communication ICs in embedded systems. |
| Switching Frequency | 100kHz to 2MHz - allows trade-off between inductor size (e.g., 5.2µH at 2MHz) and EMI; synchronizable to external clock. |
| Efficiency | Up to 95% - achieved at mid-load with 1MHz switching, minimizing thermal stress in compact DFN layout. |
| Quiescent Current | 30µA in Burst Mode, 3µA in shutdown - extends battery life in always-on IoT and automotive standby applications. |
| Package | 16-lead 4mm × 5mm × 0.75mm DFN (DHD) with exposed PGND pad - provides θJA = 43°C/W for high-power density designs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead plastic DFN (DHD), 4mm × 5mm × 0.75mm, thermally enhanced with exposed PGND pad (Pin 17) requiring solder connection to PCB ground plane for rated thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BST1 (Pin 13) | Flying capacitor node for SW1 gate drive | Connects via 0.1µF capacitor to SW1; supplies gate voltage for high-side switch A in buck mode. |
| BST2 (Pin 12) | Flying capacitor node for SW2 gate drive | Connects via 0.1µF capacitor to SW2; supplies gate voltage for high-side switch D in boost mode. |
| PVIN (Pin 14) | Main power input for buck-boost power stage | Accepts 2.7V–40V input; requires ≥4.7µF local bypass and optional bulk capacitance for stability under high-ESR sources. |
| VIN (Pin 10) | VCC regulator input and VIN sense node | Supplies internal LDO generating VCC; used for input UVLO detection and must be decoupled with 0.1µF. |
| VC (Pin 6) | Error amplifier output | Connects to FB through compensation network (e.g., RC) to stabilize feedback loop across operating conditions. |
| FB (Pin 7) | Feedback reference input | Sets output voltage via resistor divider; nominal 1000mV reference enables precise VOUT programming (e.g., 5V = R1/R2 = 4:1). |
| RT (Pin 8) | Oscillator frequency programming | Resistor to GND sets fSW: 35.7kΩ → 1MHz; supports 100kHz–2MHz range for layout and EMI optimization. |
| PWM/SYNC (Pin 16) | Mode control and clock sync input | High = fixed-frequency PWM; low = Burst Mode; external clock ≤2MHz enables system-level timing coordination. |
| RUN (Pin 1) | Enable and UVLO threshold control | Enables IC when >1.21V; resistor divider from PVIN sets custom UVLO; 0.5µA hysteresis current prevents chatter. |
| SW1 (Pin 15) | Power switch node (switch A/B) | Connects to one end of buck-boost inductor; carries full inductor current in all operating modes. |
| SW2 (Pin 2) | Power switch node (switch C/D) | Connects to other end of buck-boost inductor; critical for boost-mode conduction and reverse current blocking. |
| PVOUT (Pin 3) | Power output node | Delivers regulated output; requires ≥10µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to IC with short ground return. |
| GND (Pins 4,5) | Signal ground reference | Reference for control circuitry; must be tied to clean analog ground separate from PGND planes where possible. |
| PGND (Pin 17) | Power ground (exposed pad) | Primary thermal and current return path; must be soldered to large copper area connected directly to system ground. |
| VCC / PVCC (Pins 9,11) | Internal LDO output & gate driver supply | VCC (4.45V typ) powers control logic; PVCC supplies gate drivers; pins must be shorted externally with ≥4.7µF bypass. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck-boost regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT8390AEMSE#PBF | Higher 60V input rating, 3.5A output, spread-spectrum EMI reduction; requires external bootstrap diodes. | Better suited for 48V industrial or PoE++ systems; less optimal for space-constrained automotive DFN layouts. | Choose LT8390A when input exceeds 40V or EMI compliance is critical; LTC3115EDHD-2#PBF offers smaller footprint and lower quiescent current. |
| TPS63070DDAR | Lower 16V max input, 2.4A output, integrated compensation; no programmable frequency or sync input. | Targeted at consumer battery packs (2–12V); lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and transient robustness for automotive use. | Choose TPS63070DDAR for cost-sensitive, non-automotive portable apps; LTC3115EDHD-2#PBF provides wider VIN, higher reliability, and design flexibility. |
Compared with LT8390A and TPS63070DDAR, the LTC3115EDHD-2#PBF uniquely balances 40V operation, AEC-Q100 qualification, 2MHz sync capability, and ultra-low 3µA shutdown current - making it optimal for space- and reliability-constrained automotive and industrial buck-boost applications.

The LTC3115EDHD-2#PBF in the 16-lead 4mm × 5mm DFN (DHD) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 43°C/W when mounted on a standard 2-layer PCB with the exposed PGND pad fully soldered to a 1-in² copper area. This value assumes proper thermal land pattern and via stitching per Analog Devices' layout guidelines.
Can the LTC3115EDHD-2#PBF operate with output voltages lower than its input voltage?
Yes, the LTC3115EDHD-2#PBF operates in buck mode when VIN > VOUT, delivering up to 2A output current for VIN ≥ 6V. Its four-switch architecture enables true buck, boost, and pass-through operation - allowing VOUT to be set independently within 2.7V–40V regardless of VIN, with seamless transitions between modes.
