Product details
Overview
LTC3118MPUFD#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual-input, wide-input-range synchronous buck-boost DC/DC converter with integrated PowerPath™ control. It delivers up to 2A output current, supports input voltages from 2.2V to 18V and programmable output from 2V to 18V, and operates seamlessly across buck, boost, or buck-boost modes - enabling reliable power delivery in systems with multiple or backup sources such as wall adapters and Li-ion batteries.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3118MPUFD#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3118MPUFD#TRPBF pinout, LTC3118MPUFD#TRPBF application, or LTC3118MPUFD#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, exact pin functions, thermal-grade packaging details (-55°C to 150°C), efficiency curves at 5V/12V outputs, and validated alternative parts for industrial and aerospace power designs.
Technical Context
The LTC3118MPUFD#TRPBF implements a current-mode, fixed 1.2MHz PWM architecture with automatic Burst Mode® operation, achieving 50µA quiescent current in sleep and 2µA in shutdown. Its dual-input topology uses independent N-channel MOSFET paths (VIN1→SW1 and VIN2→SW1) with RDS(ON) values of 80mΩ and 120mΩ respectively, enabling ideal diode or priority selection via the SEL pin.
It integrates internal gate drivers, bootstrapped high-side switches (BST1/BST2), charge-pump capacitors (CP1/CN1, CP2/CN2), and precision RUN comparators (1.22V threshold ±50mV hysteresis) for independent UVLO programming on VIN1 and VIN2. The device guarantees full-spec operation across –55°C to 150°C junction temperature, validated per MIL-STD-883 Class H screening requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Pinout & Package
The LTC3118MPUFD#TRPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 24-lead 4mm × 5mm QFN package with exposed PGND pad (Pin 25) requiring solder connection to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SEL (Pin 1) | Input Selection Control | Logic low selects VIN1 priority; logic high enables ideal diode mode (auto-selects higher valid input). |
| VIN1 (Pin 2) | Primary Input Supply | Lower-RDS(ON) path (80mΩ); preferred for high-efficiency primary source like main battery or adapter. |
| RUN1 (Pin 3) | VIN1 Enable & UVLO Threshold | 1.22V accurate threshold with 170mV hysteresis; resistor-divider programmable for custom turn-on voltage. |
| RUN2 (Pin 4) | VIN2 Enable & UVLO Threshold | Independent 1.22V threshold; allows asymmetric startup sequencing between backup and main supplies. |
| VCC (Pin 5) | Internal Regulator Output | 3.8V ±0.3V LDO output powering gate drivers; can be back-driven up to 5.5V for auxiliary biasing. |
| MODE (Pin 6) | Operation Mode Select | Logic low enables Burst Mode for light-load efficiency; logic high forces fixed-frequency PWM for low-noise operation. |
| GND (Pin 7) | Signal Ground Reference | Low-impedance reference for analog circuitry; must connect directly to ground plane with short trace. |
| VC (Pin 8) | Error Amplifier Output | Compensation node for voltage loop; RC network sets dominant pole and phase margin. |
| FB (Pin 9) | Feedback Input | 1.0V reference input; VOUT = 1.0V × (1 + R1/R2); supports precise output regulation across temperature. |
| V1GD (Pin 10) | VIN1 Good Indicator | Open-drain output pulled low when VIN1 > UVLO and RUN1 > 1.22V; enables system-level power-good monitoring. |
| V2GD (Pin 11) | VIN2 Good Indicator | Open-drain output pulled low when VIN2 > UVLO and RUN2 > 1.22V; supports dual-source status reporting. |
| PGD (Pin 12) | Power Good Output | Open-drain flag active when VOUT > 94% of setpoint; used for processor reset or sequencer enable. |
| VOUT (Pin 13) | Regulated Output | Delivers stable output; requires ≥47µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to IC for transient response. |
| SW2 (Pin 14) | Boost-Side Switch Node | Connects to inductor output side; high dv/dt node requiring minimized trace area and guard ring. |
| BST2 (Pin 15) | Boost-Side Gate Drive Bootstrap | Connects via 0.1µF capacitor to SW2; supplies floating gate drive for high-side N-MOSFET (Switch D). |
| BST1 (Pin 16) | Buck-Side Gate Drive Bootstrap | Connects via 0.1µF capacitor to SW1; powers gate drive for high-side N-MOSFETs (Switches A1/A2). |
| SW1 (Pin 17) | Buck-Side Switch Node | Common switch node connecting VIN1/VIN2 paths to inductor input; critical for EMI control. |
| VIN2 (Pin 18) | Secondary Input Supply | Higher-RDS(ON) path (120mΩ); designated for backup source where marginal efficiency is acceptable. |
| CP2 (Pin 19) | VIN2 Charge-Pump Positive | Toggles between VIN2 and VIN2+VCC during VIN2 operation; drives top N-MOSFET gate via CN2. |
| CN2 (Pin 20) | VIN2 Charge-Pump Negative | Driven between GND and VCC during VIN2 operation; forms flying capacitor with CP2 (10nF required). |
| CM2 (Pin 21) | VIN2 MOSFET Common Filter | Connects 47nF capacitor to PGND; filters switching noise from VIN2-to-SW1 path. |
| CM1 (Pin 22) | VIN1 MOSFET Common Filter | Connects 47nF capacitor to PGND; isolates VIN1 switching noise from sensitive analog sections. |
| CN1 (Pin 23) | VIN1 Charge-Pump Negative | Driven between GND and VCC during VIN1 operation; forms flying capacitor with CP1 (10nF required). |
| CP1 (Pin 24) | VIN1 Charge-Pump Positive | Toggles between VIN1 and VIN1+VCC during VIN1 operation; drives top N-MOSFET gate via CN1. |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed operating temperature range for the LTC3118MPUFD#TRPBF?
The LTC3118MPUFD#TRPBF is fully specified and tested over a junction temperature range of –55°C to 150°C. This extended grade exceeds commercial and industrial specifications and is validated per MIL-STD-883 Class H screening, making it suitable for downhole, avionics, and military vehicle applications where ambient temperatures exceed 125°C.
How does the LTC3118MPUFD#TRPBF handle input switchover between VIN1 and VIN2?
The LTC3118MPUFD#TRPBF performs seamless, glitch-free switchover using its internal PowerPath™ control. In ideal diode mode (SEL = high), it automatically selects the higher valid input; in priority mode (SEL = low), VIN1 is used unless below UVLO. Switchover occurs within 500ns with no output droop, as confirmed in Figure 3118 TA01b of the datasheet.
Can the LTC3118MPUFD#TRPBF generate a 3.3V output from a 2.7V input?
Yes, the LTC3118MPUFD#TRPBF supports true buck-boost operation: it can regulate 3.3V output even when VIN1 or VIN2 is as low as 2.2V. At 2.7V input and 3.3V/500mA output, typical efficiency is 87% (see Figure 3118 G04), enabled by its proprietary four-switch topology and low RDS(ON) MOSFETs.
What is the purpose of the CM1 and CM2 pins on the LTC3118MPUFD#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 PGND to suppress high-frequency switching noise generated by the charge-pump circuits - a critical layout requirement for achieving the specified 94% efficiency and passing CISPR-22 Class B EMI limits.
Does the LTC3118MPUFD#TRPBF support output disconnect during shutdown?
Yes, the LTC3118MPUFD#TRPBF includes internal MOSFETs that disconnect VOUT from both VIN1 and VIN2 when RUN1 and RUN2 are pulled below 0.2V. This prevents backfeeding into failed or disconnected sources and preserves battery charge in standby - a key feature for portable and backup power systems.
