Product details
Overview
LTC3119EFE#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a monolithic 18V, 5A synchronous buck-boost DC/DC converter in a 28-lead enhanced TSSOP package. It delivers up to 5A output current in buck mode (VIN > 6V), supports 2.5V–18V input and 0.8V–18V output ranges, operates down to 250mV after startup, and features proprietary 4-switch PWM architecture for seamless VIN-to-VOUT transitions - ideal for battery-powered RF power supplies and solar backup systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3119EFE#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3119EFE#TRPBF pinout, LTC3119EFE#TRPBF application, or LTC3119EFE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 400kHz–2MHz programmable switching frequency, Burst Mode® operation (35µA no-load IQ), maximum power point control (MPPC), integrated 30mΩ N-channel switches, and thermal performance with θJA = 21°C/W in the FE package.
Technical Context
The LTC3119EFE#TRPBF implements a current-mode controlled 4-switch buck-boost topology with independent high-side and low-side gate drivers (BST1/BST2), enabling continuous regulation across VIN < VOUT, VIN = VOUT, and VIN > VOUT without mode transition artifacts. Its internal VCC LDO (3.7V ±150mV) powers control circuitry and supports up to 10mA external load.
Operation includes dual-mode control: fixed-frequency PWM (enabled via PWM/SYNC high or heavy load) and Burst Mode® (enabled via PWM/SYNC low at light loads), with automatic seamless transition. The RUN pin provides accurate undervoltage lockout (1.205V threshold, 90mV hysteresis), while MPPC enables input voltage regulation for photovoltaic or supercapacitor sources.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 18V continuous; operates down to 250mV after startup when VCC is bootstrapped - enables full energy extraction from depleted batteries or supercapacitors. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.8V to 18V programmable via FB resistor divider - supports wide-range system rail generation including 3.3V, 5V, and 12V outputs. |
| Max Output Current | 5A in buck mode (VIN > 6V); 3A at VIN = 3.6V/VOUT = 5V - defined by internal 8A current limit and thermal limits in FE package. |
| Switching Frequency | 400kHz to 2MHz, set by RT resistor or synchronized externally via PWM/SYNC pin - balances PCB area (higher fSW) vs. efficiency (lower fSW). |
| Quiescent Current | 35µA in Burst Mode® no-load operation; 3µA shutdown current - extends battery life in always-on portable devices. |
| Power Switch RDS(ON) | 30mΩ per switch (PVIN→SW1, SW1→PGND, SW2→PGND, SW2→PVOUT) - minimizes conduction loss and thermal rise at 5A load. |
| MPPC Function | Configurable input voltage regulation via MPPC pin (774–822mV threshold) - maintains peak power transfer from PV arrays or current-limited sources. |
Pinout & Package
The LTC3119EFE#TRPBF is housed in a 28-lead plastic enhanced TSSOP package (JEDEC MO-153) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 29 = PGND). Thermal resistance θJA = 21°C/W enables reliable 5A operation with standard 2-layer PCB layout and proper ground plane connection to the exposed pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PGND (Pins 4, 9, 20, 25, Exposed Pad 29) | Power Ground Reference | Low-impedance return path for all high-current switches; exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical performance. |
| SW1 (Pins 21, 24) | Buck-Boost Power Switch Node A | Connects to one end of inductor; drives current from PVIN to PGND in buck mode or from PVOUT to PGND in boost mode. |
| SW2 (Pins 5, 8) | Buck-Boost Power Switch Node D | Connects to other end of inductor; drives current from SW1 to PVOUT in boost mode or from PVIN to SW1 in buck mode. |
| PVIN (Pins 22, 23) | Main Input Power Supply | High-current input connection to switch A; requires ≥10µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor directly to PGND. |
| PVOUT (Pins 6, 7) | Main Output Power Supply | High-current output connection to switch D; requires ≥10µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor directly to PGND. |
| FB (Pin 12) | Output Voltage Feedback Input | Senses regulated output via resistive divider; 795mV nominal reference enables precise VOUT programming (e.g., 5V = 795mV × (1 + R1/R2)). |
| RT (Pin 17) | Oscillator Frequency Programming | Resistor to GND sets switching frequency: 76.8kΩ = 1MHz; supports 400kHz–2MHz range for layout and EMI optimization. |
| RUN (Pin 18) | Enable & UVLO Control Input | 1.205V rising threshold with 90mV hysteresis; enables custom input undervoltage lockout using external resistor divider from VIN. |
| MPPC (Pin 15) | Maximum Power Point Control Setpoint | 774–822mV threshold; connects to VIN–GND divider to regulate input voltage for solar/battery harvesting applications. |
| PWM/SYNC (Pin 28) | Mode Control & Clock Sync Input | High = forced PWM mode; low = Burst Mode®; external clock > RT-set frequency enables synchronization for noise-sensitive systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck-boost regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT8390AEMSE#TRPBF | Higher 60V input rating, 4A output, requires external MOSFETs; no integrated MPPC or 250mV start-up capability. | Better suited for 24V/48V industrial buses; lacks ultra-low VIN support for supercapacitor backup. | Select when input exceeds 18V or higher fault tolerance is required; avoid when MPPC or sub-1V operation is needed. |
| TPS63020DSJR | Lower 5.5V max input, 3A output, fixed 2.5MHz fSW, no MPPC or programmable frequency; smaller 10-pin SON package. | Ideal for space-constrained consumer wearables; cannot replace LTC3119EFE#TRPBF in solar or wide-input industrial use cases. | Choose for cost-sensitive, low-power portable designs with VIN ≤ 5.5V; not suitable for 12V+ inputs or energy harvesting. |
Compared with LT8390A and TPS63020, the LTC3119EFE#TRPBF uniquely combines 18V input, 5A output, 250mV dropout operation, integrated MPPC, and 400kHz–2MHz programmability - making it the only single-chip solution for high-current, wide-input, energy-harvesting applications requiring minimal external components.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage for continuous operation of the LTC3119EFE#TRPBF?
The LTC3119EFE#TRPBF operates continuously down to 250mV after startup when the VCC rail is externally bootstrapped (e.g., from VOUT or auxiliary supply). This enables full energy recovery from deeply discharged batteries or supercapacitors. Without bootstrapping, the minimum operating input is 2.5V due to VCC UVLO.
Does the LTC3119EFE#TRPBF support synchronization to an external clock?
Yes, the LTC3119EFE#TRPBF supports external clock synchronization via the PWM/SYNC pin. When an external clock signal above the RT-programmed frequency is applied, the internal PLL locks to it - enabling deterministic switching in noise-sensitive systems like RF transceivers or precision data acquisition circuits.
How does Maximum Power Point Control (MPPC) work on the LTC3119EFE#TRPBF?
The LTC3119EFE#TRPBF implements MPPC by regulating the input voltage to maintain a fixed voltage at the MPPC pin (774–822mV). A resistor divider from VIN to GND sets this point, allowing the converter to draw optimal current from photovoltaic panels or other current-limited sources without external MPPT controllers.
What is the thermal performance difference between the QFN and TSSOP packages for the LTC3119EFE#TRPBF?
The LTC3119EFE#TRPBF in the 28-lead enhanced TSSOP package has θJA = 21°C/W, slightly better than the QFN's 22°C/W due to optimized internal thermal path and larger exposed pad area. Both packages support 5A output with appropriate PCB copper area, but the TSSOP offers easier rework and inspection in high-reliability manufacturing.
Can the LTC3119EFE#TRPBF operate in Burst Mode® and PWM mode simultaneously?
No - the LTC3119EFE#TRPBF operates exclusively in either Burst Mode® (at light loads, <~400mA) or fixed-frequency PWM mode (at heavier loads), with automatic seamless transition. Forcing PWM/SYNC high disables Burst Mode® entirely, locking the device into PWM operation regardless of load current.
