Product details
Overview
LTC3119IUFD#PBF from Analog Devices is a monolithic 18V, 5A synchronous buck-boost DC/DC converter with 2.5V–18V input and 0.8V–18V output ranges, proprietary 4-switch PWM architecture, and seamless mode transitions. It delivers 5A continuous output in buck mode (VIN > 6V), supports MPPC for solar/battery harvesting, and operates down to 250mV after startup-ideal for backup power and wide-input battery systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3119IUFD#PBF datasheet, LTC3119IUFD#PBF pinout, LTC3119IUFD#PBF application, or LTC3119IUFD#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 400kHz–2MHz programmable switching frequency, 3µA shutdown current, Burst Mode® operation (35µA no-load IQ), integrated 30mΩ N-channel switches, and thermal performance in the 4mm × 5mm QFN package.
Technical Context
The LTC3119IUFD#PBF implements a current-mode controlled, 4-switch buck-boost topology enabling continuous regulation across VIN < VOUT, VIN = VOUT, and VIN > VOUT without discontinuities. Its internal VCC LDO (3.7V nominal) powers control circuitry and supports up to 10mA external load, while the RUN pin provides accurate UVLO threshold (1.205V typ) with 90mV hysteresis.
Maximum Power Point Control (MPPC) is implemented via a dedicated pin (MPPC) with 798mV threshold, enabling direct photovoltaic or supercapacitor input regulation. The device integrates soft-start (6ms), power-good indicator (PGOOD), and internal PLL for synchronization to external clocks up to 2MHz-ensuring low-noise operation in RF-sensitive applications.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck-boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT8390AEMSE#PBF | Higher 60V input rating, 4A output, requires external MOSFETs; no integrated MPPC | Better suited for 24V+ industrial inputs; lacks native solar MPPT capability | Select when input exceeds 18V or MPPC is unnecessary; expect larger solution size due to external FETs |
| TPS63060DSCR | Lower 5.5V max input, 3A output, fixed 2.5MHz frequency, no MPPC or sync capability | Targeted at compact consumer electronics with narrow input range; no solar or sync support | Select for cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs below 5.5V input where advanced features are not required |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage for continuous operation of the LTC3119IUFD#PBF?
The LTC3119IUFD#PBF operates continuously down to 250mV after startup when the VCC rail is externally bootstrapped-enabling full discharge of supercapacitors or depleted batteries. During initial startup, however, the minimum input is 2.5V to meet VCC UVLO requirements. This dual-threshold behavior is enabled by the internal VCC LDO and RUN pin comparator architecture.
How does the MPPC function work on the LTC3119IUFD#PBF?
The MPPC pin on the LTC3119IUFD#PBF monitors input voltage via an external resistive divider and compares it to a precise 798mV internal reference. When the divided input falls below this threshold, the controller adjusts duty cycle to maintain constant input voltage-ideal for maximizing power extraction from photovoltaic arrays or supercapacitors. Tying MPPC to VCC disables the function.
Can the LTC3119IUFD#PBF synchronize to an external clock, and what are the timing requirements?
Yes, the LTC3119IUFD#PBF can synchronize to an external clock applied to the PWM/SYNC pin using its internal PLL. The external clock must exceed the RT-programmed frequency, with minimum pulse width of 100ns. Synchronization is supported up to 2MHz and eliminates beat frequencies in noise-sensitive RF or audio systems.
What thermal considerations apply to the LTC3119IUFD#PBF in 5A operation?
In continuous 5A operation, the LTC3119IUFD#PBF requires the exposed PGND pad (Pin 29) to be soldered to a minimum 250mm² copper area on the PCB for thermal relief. With θJA = 22°C/W, junction temperature rise is ~110°C at full load-so derating or airflow is recommended above 70°C ambient. Thermal shutdown activates at TJ = 125°C.
Does the LTC3119IUFD#PBF support both Burst Mode® and forced PWM operation?
Yes, the LTC3119IUFD#PBF supports both modes: pulling PWM/SYNC low enables automatic Burst Mode® at light loads (35µA IQ), while pulling it high forces fixed-frequency PWM operation across all loads. This dual-mode capability optimizes efficiency across the full load range-especially critical in battery-powered applications with dynamic load profiles.
