Product details
Overview
LTC3115EFE-1#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a 40V, 2A monolithic synchronous buck-boost DC/DC converter with 2.7V–40V input and output voltage ranges, programmable 100kHz–2MHz switching frequency, 95% peak efficiency, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive power systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3115EFE-1#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3115EFE-1#TRPBF pinout, LTC3115EFE-1#TRPBF application, or LTC3115EFE-1#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include input/output voltage overlap capability, burst-mode quiescent current (30µA), shutdown current (3µA), thermal performance in TSSOP package, and compatibility with 24V/28V industrial rails.
Technical Context
The LTC3115EFE-1#TRPBF implements a four-switch synchronous buck-boost topology with proprietary mode-transition control, enabling seamless regulation when VIN < VOUT, VIN > VOUT, or VIN ≈ VOUT. It integrates internal gate drivers, a 4.45V VCC regulator, and reverse-current blocking to prevent backfeed from PVOUT.
Its voltage-mode PWM control loop uses an external RT resistor for oscillator tuning and supports external clock synchronization via the PWM/SYNC pin. The IC features programmable input UVLO with hysteresis, internal soft-start (9ms), and overtemperature protection with 125°C junction limit.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 40V - supports wide-input sources including lead-acid batteries, FireWire, and unregulated industrial rails. |
| Output Voltage Range | 2.7V to 40V - enables single-rail conversion across automotive (12V/24V), telecom (48V), and industrial (24V/28V) systems. |
| Max Output Current | 2A in step-down mode (VIN ≥ 6V) - delivers full rated load without derating when input exceeds output. |
| Switching Frequency | 100kHz to 2MHz - selectable via RT pin; higher frequencies enable smaller inductors (e.g., 5.2µH at 2MHz). |
| Peak Efficiency | 95% - achieved at mid-load in PWM mode with optimized layout and low-RDS(on) internal switches (150mΩ each). |
| Quiescent Current | 30µA in Burst Mode - extends battery life in always-on automotive sensors and telematics modules. |
| Shutdown Current | 3µA - ensures minimal drain during vehicle sleep modes or system standby states. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 20-lead plastic TSSOP (FE), thermally enhanced, exposed pad (Pin 21) connected to PGND for optimal thermal dissipation (θJA = 38°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PGND (Pins 1, 10, 11, 20, Exposed Pad 21) | Power Ground Return Path | Mandatory low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane; exposed pad must be soldered for rated thermal performance. |
| RUN (Pin 2) | Enable/UVLO Control Input | Drives IC enable/disable; sets custom input undervoltage lockout threshold (1.21V nominal) with 100mV hysteresis. |
| SW2 (Pin 3) | Buck-Boost Power Switch Node | Connects to one end of inductor; carries bidirectional current in boost/buck operation; requires Schottky clamp for VOUT > 20V short-circuit protection. |
| PVOUT (Pin 4) | Power Output Supply Rail | Delivers regulated output; requires ≥10µF low-ESR capacitor placed adjacent to IC with short ground return path. |
| GND (Pins 5, 6) | Signal Ground Reference | Reference for control circuitry; must be tied to system ground but kept separate from noisy PGND traces until star point. |
| VC (Pin 7) | Error Amplifier Output | Connects to FB via compensation network (e.g., RC) to stabilize feedback loop; sensitive to noise coupling. |
| FB (Pin 8) | Voltage Feedback Input | Sets output voltage via resistor divider; nominal 1000mV reference; routing must avoid SW node crosstalk. |
| RT (Pin 9) | Oscillator Frequency Programming | Resistor to ground sets switching frequency (e.g., 35.7kΩ → 1MHz); tolerance directly impacts fSW accuracy. |
| VCC (Pin 12) | Internal Logic Supply Input | Must be shorted to PVCC; powers control circuitry; bypassed with ≥4.7µF capacitor to PGND. |
| VIN (Pin 13) | VCC Regulator Input | Supplies internal LDO; senses input for UVLO; bypassed with 0.1µF capacitor near IC. |
| PVCC (Pin 14) | VCC Regulator Output | Provides 4.45V rail for gate drivers and logic; must be connected to VCC; additional local bypass recommended if trace long. |
| BST2 (Pin 15) | SW2 Gate Drive Bootstrap | Connected to SW2 via 0.1µF capacitor; generates high-side gate drive voltage for switch D. |
| BST1 (Pin 16) | SW1 Gate Drive Bootstrap | Connected to SW1 via 0.1µF capacitor; generates high-side gate drive voltage for switch A. |
| PVIN (Pin 17) | Main Power Input | Primary input rail for power stage; requires ≥4.7µF ceramic + optional 47–100µF bulk capacitor for high-ESR sources. |
| SW1 (Pin 18) | Buck-Boost Power Switch Node | Connects to other end of inductor; forms 4-switch topology with SW2; shares same current path constraints. |
| PWM/SYNC (Pin 19) | Mode Control & Clock Sync | High = PWM mode; low = Burst Mode; external clock input synchronizes switching up to 2MHz. |
Key Features
