Product details
Overview
LTC3118IUFD#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), operates seamlessly in buck, boost, or pass-through modes, and achieves up to 94% efficiency-ideal for backup power systems requiring seamless input switchover between wall adapter and Li-ion battery.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3118IUFD#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3118IUFD#TRPBF pinout, LTC3118IUFD#TRPBF application, or LTC3118IUFD#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-input UVLO programmability via RUN1/RUN2, 1.2MHz fixed-frequency PWM/Burst Mode operation, 50µA quiescent current in sleep, and thermal performance in the 4mm × 5mm QFN package with exposed PGND pad.
Technical Context
The LTC3118IUFD#TRPBF employs a current-mode, monolithic buck-boost architecture with independent N-channel MOSFET switch paths (VIN1→SW1 and VIN2→SW1) enabling true input isolation and ideal diode or priority selection logic. Its proprietary switch algorithm ensures transient-free transitions between buck, boost, and pass-through operating regions regardless of relative VIN/VOUT levels.
It integrates a 3.8V internal VCC regulator, accurate 1.22V RUN comparators with 170mV hysteresis per input, open-drain power-good indicators (V1GD/V2GD/PGD), and comprehensive protection including short-circuit, thermal overload, reverse inductor current limiting (–200mA), and 6A overload current limit-supporting robust operation across –40°C to 125°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
The LTC3118IUFD#TRPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 24-lead 4mm × 5mm plastic QFN package with exposed PGND pad (Pin 25), requiring soldering to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SEL (Pin 1) | Input selection mode control | Logic low = VIN1 priority; logic high = ideal diode (auto-select higher valid VIN); determines system-level power arbitration behavior. |
| VIN1 (Pin 2) | Primary input voltage source | Lower RDS(ON) path (80mΩ); preferred for highest-efficiency input (e.g., main battery); requires ≥22µF local ceramic decoupling. |
| RUN1 (Pin 3) | VIN1 enable & UVLO threshold programming | Pull >1.22V to enable; resistor divider from VIN1 sets precise turn-on voltage (e.g., 3.0V for Li-ion cutoff). |
| RUN2 (Pin 4) | VIN2 enable & UVLO threshold programming | Independent 1.22V threshold with 170mV hysteresis; enables asymmetric startup sequencing (e.g., backup supply only after main fails). |
| VCC (Pin 5) | Internal LDO output (3.8V) | Supplies gate drivers and internal circuitry; can be back-driven up to 5.5V; bypassed with 4.7µF ceramic capacitor. |
| MODE (Pin 6) | PWM/Burst Mode selection | Logic low = automatic Burst Mode (50µA IQ); logic high = forced PWM (12mA IQ) for low-noise critical loads. |
| GND (Pin 7) | Signal reference ground | Must connect directly to low-impedance ground plane; separate from PGND except at single-point star connection. |
| VC (Pin 8) | Error amplifier output | Connects to RC compensation network; sets voltage loop stability; average current loop is internally compensated. |
| FB (Pin 9) | Feedback input | Monitors VOUT via resistor divider; 1.0V nominal reference enables precise output setting (VOUT = 1.0 × (1 + R1/R2)). |
| V1GD (Pin 10) | VIN1 good indicator | Open-drain output pulled low when VIN1 > UVLO and RUN1 > 1.22V; used for system-level status signaling or fault logging. |
| V2GD (Pin 11) | VIN2 good indicator | Same function as V1GD but for VIN2; allows independent monitoring of dual power sources in redundant systems. |
| PGD (Pin 12) | Power good indicator | Pulls low when VOUT > 92% of programmed value; provides clean enable signal to downstream processors or PMICs. |
| VOUT (Pin 13) | Regulated output | Delivers up to 2A; requires ≥47µF low-ESR ceramic output capacitance placed adjacent to IC for stability and ripple suppression. |
| SW2 (Pin 14) | Boost-side switch node | Connects to inductor output side; high dV/dt node-requires shortest possible PCB trace to minimize EMI and switching losses. |
| BST2 (Pin 15) | Boost gate drive bootstrap | Connects via 0.1µF capacitor to SW2; supplies floating voltage for high-side N-MOSFET (Switch D) driving. |
| BST1 (Pin 16) | Buck-side gate drive bootstrap | Connects via 0.1µF capacitor to SW1; powers high-side switches (A1/A2) for VIN1/VIN2 to SW1 paths. |
| SW1 (Pin 17) | Buck-side switch node | Common switching node for both inputs; connects to inductor input side; shared path enables seamless input switchover. |
| VIN2 (Pin 18) | Secondary input voltage source | Higher RDS(ON) path (120mΩ); designated for backup source where marginal efficiency loss is acceptable. |
| CP2 (Pin 19) | VIN2 charge-pump positive | Toggles between VIN2 and VIN2+VCC during VIN2 operation; drives top N-MOSFET (A2) gate via BST1. |
| CN2 (Pin 20) | VIN2 charge-pump negative | Driven between VCC and GND during VIN2 operation; 10nF capacitor to CP2 forms flying capacitor for A2 gate drive. |
| CM2 (Pin 21) | VIN2 MOSFET common filter | Connects 47nF capacitor to ground; filters noise from VIN2-to-SW1 switching path and improves EMI performance. |
| CM1 (Pin 22) | VIN1 MOSFET common filter | Same function as CM2 but for VIN1 path; critical for reducing cross-talk between dual input channels. |
| CN1 (Pin 23) | VIN1 charge-pump negative | Driven between VCC and GND during VIN1 operation; 10nF capacitor to CP1 forms flying capacitor for A1 gate drive. |
| CP1 (Pin 24) | VIN1 charge-pump positive | Toggles between VIN1 and VIN1+VCC during VIN1 operation; supplies gate drive for lower-loss A1 switch. |
| PGND (Pin 25) | Power ground | Exposed thermal pad; must be soldered to solid copper ground plane for thermal dissipation (θJA = 43°C/W) and low-noise return path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-input PowerPath™ control | Enables seamless, glitch-free switchover between two independent power sources without external OR-ing FETs or controllers. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-input buck-boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3115IUFD#TRPBF | Single-input (VIN only), 36V max input, 2.5A max output, no PowerPath™ or dual-VIN control logic. | Lacks input arbitration, ideal diode, or priority mode-requires external circuitry for dual-source systems. | Select only if application uses one input source and requires higher input voltage (up to 36V) or slightly higher current capability. |

FAQ
What input voltage ranges does the LTC3118IUFD#TRPBF support on VIN1 and VIN2?
The LTC3118IUFD#TRPBF supports 2.2V to 18V on both VIN1 and VIN2 independently. This range accommodates common sources such as single-cell Li-ion (2.7V–4.2V), 12V automotive systems, 5V USB, and 18V wall adapters. Absolute maximum rating is 20V, but continuous operation above 18V is not guaranteed per datasheet specifications.
How does the SEL pin determine which input powers the LTC3118IUFD#TRPBF?
When SEL is pulled low (to GND), the LTC3118IUFD#TRPBF operates in VIN1 priority mode: it uses VIN1 if RUN1 and VIN1 exceed their UVLO thresholds; otherwise it falls back to VIN2. When SEL is pulled high (to VCC), it enters ideal diode mode and automatically selects the higher valid input (VIN1 or VIN2) that meets its respective RUN and UVLO conditions.
Can the LTC3118IUFD#TRPBF generate a 5V output from a 3.3V input?
Yes-the LTC3118IUFD#TRPBF operates in boost mode when input voltage is below the programmed output. With proper inductor (e.g., 3.3µH) and output capacitor selection, it delivers up to 2A at 5V from a 3.3V input while maintaining >90% efficiency, as verified in typical performance graphs (Figure G07).
What is the purpose of the CM1 and CM2 pins on the LTC3118IUFD#TRPBF?
CM1 and CM2 are common-mode filter pins 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 circuits, improving EMI performance and preventing coupling between dual input channels.
Does the LTC3118IUFD#TRPBF provide output disconnect during shutdown?
Yes-the LTC3118IUFD#TRPBF fully disconnects VOUT from both VIN1 and VIN2 when both RUN1 and RUN2 are pulled below 0.2V, entering shutdown with only 2µA quiescent current. This prevents backfeed into disabled inputs and enables true system-level power gating, unlike basic buck-boost converters that maintain conductive paths.
