Product details
Overview
LTC3118HUFD#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual-input, synchronous buck-boost DC/DC converter with integrated PowerPath™ control. It delivers up to 2A at programmable 2V–18V output from either VIN1 or VIN2 (2.2V–18V), supports seamless buck/boost transitions, operates at 1.2MHz fixed frequency, and features 50µA quiescent current in Burst Mode - ideal for backup power systems with Li-ion/supercapacitor + wall adapter inputs.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3118HUFD#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3118HUFD#TRPBF pinout, LTC3118HUFD#TRPBF application, or LTC3118HUFD#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-input priority/ideal-diode mode behavior, ±1.22V accurate RUN pin thresholds, 94% peak efficiency, thermal grade (–40°C to 150°C), and QFN-24 package compatibility with high-current PCB layout requirements.
Technical Context
The LTC3118HUFD#TRPBF implements a current-mode, monolithic buck-boost topology with independent N-channel MOSFET paths from VIN1 and VIN2 to SW1, enabling true input source isolation and seamless mode transitions without subharmonics or output transients. Its proprietary switch algorithm maintains regulation whether input is above, below, or equal to VOUT.
It integrates a 3.8V internal VCC regulator, dual charge-pump circuits (CP1/CN1 and CP2/CN2) for high-side gate drive, and separate error amplifiers for voltage and average current loops. The 1.2MHz oscillator minimizes external component size while supporting both PWM and Burst Mode operation via the MODE pin.

| PGD (Pin 12) | Power good indicator | Open-drain output pulled low when VOUT < 92% of programmed value - provides reliable power sequencing signal. |
| VOUT (Pin 13) | Regulated output | Delivers up to 2A; requires ≥47µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to IC for ripple suppression. |
| SW2 (Pin 14) | Boost-side switch node | Connects to inductor output side; high dv/dt node - demands short, wide PCB trace to minimize EMI and switching losses. |
| BST2 (Pin 15) | SW2 high-side gate drive bootstrap | Connects via 0.1µF capacitor to SW2; supplies floating gate voltage for N-channel MOSFET D (SW2→VOUT path). |
| BST1 (Pin 16) | VIN1/VIN2 high-side gate drive bootstrap | Connects via 0.1µF capacitor to SW1; powers gate drive for A1 (VIN1→SW1) or A2 (VIN2→SW1) switches. |
| SW1 (Pin 17) | Buck-side switch node | Common connection point for VIN1 and VIN2 paths; connects to inductor input side - critical high-current node. |
| VIN2 (Pin 18) | Secondary input supply | Higher RDS(ON) path (120mΩ); suitable for auxiliary source (e.g., backup supercapacitor or adapter). |
| CP2 (Pin 19) | VIN2 charge-pump positive | Toggles between VIN2 and VIN2+VCC during VIN2 operation; drives gate of A2 switch. |
| CN2 (Pin 20) | VIN2 charge-pump negative | Driven between GND and VCC during VIN2 operation; 10nF cap to CP2 forms flying capacitor for A2 gate drive. |
| CM2 (Pin 21) | VIN2 MOSFET common filter | Connects 47nF capacitor to ground; filters switching noise on VIN2-to-SW1 path. |
| CM1 (Pin 22) | VIN1 MOSFET common filter | Connects 47nF capacitor to ground; filters switching noise on VIN1-to-SW1 path. |
| CN1 (Pin 23) | VIN1 charge-pump negative | Driven between GND and VCC during VIN1 operation; 10nF cap to CP1 forms flying capacitor for A1 gate drive. |

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the LTC3118HUFD#TRPBF?
The LTC3118HUFD#TRPBF is rated for operation up to 150°C junction temperature, with guaranteed specifications over –40°C to 150°C. This H-grade qualification makes it suitable for under-hood automotive, industrial control cabinets, and other high-ambient applications where thermal derating is critical. The exposed PGND pad must be soldered to a thermal pad on the PCB to achieve specified θJA = 43°C/W.
How does the SEL pin determine input selection in the LTC3118HUFD#TRPBF?
The SEL pin configures the LTC3118HUFD#TRPBF into either VIN1 priority mode (SEL = low) or ideal diode mode (SEL = high). In priority mode, VIN1 powers VOUT unless disabled by UVLO or RUN1; in ideal diode mode, the higher valid input (VIN1 or VIN2) automatically supplies VOUT. Both modes require respective RUN pins to exceed 1.22V and inputs to be above 2.2V.
Can the LTC3118HUFD#TRPBF generate 5V output from a 3.6V Li-ion battery?
Yes, the LTC3118HUFD#TRPBF supports boost operation down to 2.2V input, so it can generate a regulated 5V output from a single-cell Li-ion battery (3.0–4.2V range). At 3.6V input and 5V/1A output, typical efficiency exceeds 88% in PWM mode. The device maintains regulation even as the battery discharges below VOUT, leveraging its seamless buck-boost architecture.
What is the purpose of the CM1 and CM2 pins on the LTC3118HUFD#TRPBF?
The CM1 and CM2 pins on the LTC3118HUFD#TRPBF serve as common-mode filter nodes for the VIN1-to-SW1 and VIN2-to-SW1 N-channel MOSFET paths, respectively. Each requires a 47nF capacitor to ground to suppress high-frequency switching noise generated by the charge-pump gate drive circuits, improving EMI performance and preventing coupling into sensitive analog sections of the system.
Does the LTC3118HUFD#TRPBF support output disconnect during shutdown?
Yes, the LTC3118HUFD#TRPBF provides true output disconnect in shutdown mode: when both RUN1 and RUN2 are pulled below 0.2V, all internal power switches open, isolating VOUT from both VIN1 and VIN2. This prevents backfeed, eliminates leakage paths, and ensures <2µA total shutdown current - essential for battery-powered systems requiring zero standby drain.
