Product details
Overview
LTC3115MPFE-2#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a high-voltage monolithic synchronous buck-boost DC/DC converter optimized for fast input voltage transients (<1 ms), supporting 2.7V–40V input and output ranges, delivering up to 2A in step-down mode (VIN ≥ 6V), and featuring programmable switching frequency from 100 kHz to 2 MHz. It is used in automotive power systems requiring AEC-Q100-compliant operation across –55°C to 150°C.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3115MPFE-2#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3115MPFE-2#TRPBF pinout, LTC3115MPFE-2#TRPBF application, or LTC3115MPFE-2#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include input transient robustness, wide VIN/VOUT compatibility, ultralow 3 µA shutdown current, Burst Mode® quiescent current of 50 µA, and thermal performance in the 20-lead TSSOP package with exposed PGND pad.
Technical Context
The LTC3115MPFE-2#TRPBF implements a four-switch synchronous buck-boost topology with internal N-channel DMOS switches (150 mΩ each), enabling seamless transitions between buck, boost, and pass-through modes without output disturbance. Its proprietary voltage-mode control loop uses a 1000 mV feedback reference and supports external synchronization via the PWM/SYNC pin.
It integrates an internal VCC linear regulator (4.45 V nominal output), programmable input UVLO with hysteresis, internal soft-start (9 ms), and overtemperature protection. The device operates across –55°C to 150°C junction temperature, with guaranteed specifications over this full range per MIL-PRF-38535 Class V / MP-grade qualification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 40 V - supports lead-acid battery, 24 V industrial rail, and unregulated adapters without external pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 40 V - enables single-rail conversion from variable sources (e.g., FireWire, USB PD, automotive cold-crank) to stable system rails. |
| Max Output Current | 2 A in step-down mode (VIN ≥ 6 V) - sufficient for powering FPGA I/O banks, microcontroller cores, or sensor signal chains directly. |
| Switching Frequency | 100 kHz to 2 MHz - adjustable via RT pin resistor; higher frequencies allow smaller magnetics (e.g., 5.2 µH at 2 MHz) for space-constrained designs. |
| Shutdown Current | 3 µA typical - preserves battery life in always-on automotive telematics or remote monitoring nodes during sleep states. |
| Burst Mode Quiescent Current | 50 µA typical - maintains regulation at light loads while minimizing standby loss in battery-backed backup supplies. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 1000 mV ±23 mV - sets output voltage via external resistor divider; tight tolerance enables ±1% output accuracy with proper layout. |
| Junction Temperature Range | –55°C to +150°C - qualified to MIL-PRF-38535 Class V; suitable for under-hood automotive, downhole tools, and military avionics. |
Pinout & Package
The LTC3115MPFE-2#TRPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 20-lead plastic TSSOP package (FE) with exposed PGND pad (Pin 21), requiring soldering to PCB ground plane for rated thermal performance (θJA = 38°C/W). Package dimensions: 6.5 mm × 4.4 mm × 1.1 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PIN 1, 10, 11, 20, Exposed Pad (21) | PGND | Power ground return for all switch currents; must be low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane for thermal and EMI performance. |
| PIN 2 | RUN | Enable/disable control and custom UVLO threshold setting; sourcing 0.5 µA hysteresis current when enabled above 1.21 V. |
| PIN 3 | SW2 | Power switch node for boost path; connects to one end of buck-boost inductor and cathode of optional Schottky clamp diode. |
| PIN 4 | PVOUT | Main power output; requires ≥10 µF low-ESR capacitor placed adjacent to IC with short ground return path. |
| PIN 5, 6 | GND | Signal ground for control circuitry; must tie to clean analog ground separate from noisy PGND paths until star-point connection. |
| PIN 7 | VC | Error amplifier output; connects to FB via RC compensation network to stabilize loop response and prevent oscillation. |
| PIN 8 | FB | Feedback input referenced to 1000 mV; resistor divider from PVOUT sets regulated output voltage; sensitive to noise coupling. |
| PIN 9 | RT | Oscillator frequency programming node; resistor to GND sets fSW from 100 kHz to 2 MHz (e.g., 35.7 kΩ → 1 MHz). |
| PIN 12 | VCC | Low-voltage supply for internal logic; must be tied directly to PVCC; bypassed with ≥4.7 µF capacitor to PGND. |
| PIN 13 | VIN | Input voltage sense and VCC regulator input; bypassed with 0.1 µF capacitor; used for UVLO detection and line regulation. |
| PIN 14 | PVCC | VCC regulator output and gate driver supply; must connect directly to VCC; additional local bypass recommended if trace >2 mm. |
| PIN 15 | BST2 | Flying capacitor connection for SW2 gate drive; requires 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor between BST2 and SW2. |
| PIN 16 | BST1 | Flying capacitor connection for SW1 gate drive; requires 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor between BST1 and SW1. |
| PIN 17 | PVIN | Main power input; bypassed with ≥4.7 µF capacitor; bulk capacitance (47–100 µF) recommended for long-trace or high-ESR sources. |
| PIN 18 | SW1 | Power switch node for buck path; connects to other end of buck-boost inductor and anode of optional Schottky clamp diode. |
| PIN 19 | PWM/SYNC | Mode control and sync input; high = fixed-frequency PWM, low = Burst Mode®, external clock = synchronized PWM. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LTC3115MPFE-2#TRPBF?
The LTC3115MPFE-2#TRPBF delivers up to 2 A in step-down operation when VIN ≥ 6 V and VOUT = 5 V. In buck-boost mode with VIN near VOUT, output current is limited by thermal design and inductor saturation; typical continuous output is 1.2 A at 12 V out with 24 V in on a 2-layer PCB. The LTC3115MPFE-2#TRPBF includes internal current limiting (2.4–3.7 A typical) and reverse current protection (–1.5 A) to safeguard against overload conditions.
Does the LTC3115MPFE-2#TRPBF support external clock synchronization?
Yes, the LTC3115MPFE-2#TRPBF supports external clock synchronization via the PWM/SYNC pin, accepting input frequencies from 100 kHz to 2 MHz. When driven by an external clock, the device operates in fixed-frequency PWM mode with matched edge alignment and jitter <100 ps RMS. This capability allows the LTC3115MPFE-2#TRPBF to coexist with other switching regulators in noise-sensitive systems such as radar receivers or high-speed ADC power domains without beat-frequency interference.
How does the RUN pin function on the LTC3115MPFE-2#TRPBF?
The RUN pin on the LTC3115MPFE-2#TRPBF serves dual functions: enabling/disabling the IC and setting custom input undervoltage lockout (UVLO) thresholds. It activates when voltage exceeds 1.21 V (typical) and sources 0.5 µA to provide hysteresis. A resistor divider from PVIN to GND allows precise UVLO configuration-for example, a 24 V system can be set to disable below 21.5 V and re-enable at 22.5 V. The LTC3115MPFE-2#TRPBF datasheet specifies RUN pin voltage must never exceed VIN + 0.3 V under any condition.
What thermal considerations apply to the LTC3115MPFE-2#TRPBF in its TSSOP package?
The LTC3115MPFE-2#TRPBF in the 20-lead TSSOP (FE) package has θJA = 38°C/W on a standard 2-layer PCB with 1 in² copper pour and the exposed PGND pad fully soldered to the ground plane. To maintain operation at 150°C junction temperature, ambient must be limited to ≤112°C at 2 A load (assuming 2 W dissipation). Thermal derating curves in the LTC3115MPFE-2#TRPBF datasheet show die temperature rise vs. load current at multiple switching frequencies and input voltages to guide heatsinking decisions.
Can the LTC3115MPFE-2#TRPBF operate with input voltages below 2.7 V?
No, the LTC3115MPFE-2#TRPBF is not specified or guaranteed to operate below 2.7 V input. Absolute maximum ratings permit –0.3 V on VIN/PVIN, but functional operation begins at 2.7 V minimum per electrical characteristics table. Attempting operation below this threshold may result in erratic regulation, failure to start, or undefined behavior. For sub-2.7 V applications, consider the LTC3115-1 variant or alternative architectures such as boost-only regulators with lower VIN limits.
