Product details
Overview
LTC3130IUDC-1#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 25V, 600mA buck-boost DC/DC converter with fixed-output voltage selection, 1.6µA quiescent current in Burst Mode®, 1.2MHz ultralow-noise PWM operation, and integrated maximum power point control (MPPC). It regulates VOUT above, below, or equal to VIN and is used in solar panel post-regulators, low-power sensors, and battery-operated instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3130IUDC-1#PBF datasheet, LTC3130IUDC-1#PBF pinout, LTC3130IUDC-1#PBF application, or LTC3130IUDC-1#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its four-pin-selectable output voltages (1.8V/3.3V/5.0V/12V), EXTVCC support for sub-1V start-up, thermal shutdown, power good indicator, and MPPC capability for photovoltaic energy harvesting.
Technical Context
The LTC3130IUDC-1#PBF employs a current-mode, monolithic buck-boost architecture with dual NMOS switches (SW1/SW2) and two bootstrap supplies (BST1/BST2) enabling seamless transition between buck, boost, and buck-boost modes. Its internal 4V LDO powers control circuitry from VIN or EXTVCC, supporting operation down to 0.6V input when EXTVCC > 3.15V.
It integrates programmable MPPC via a precision 1.00V reference on the MPPC pin, accurate RUN comparator threshold (1.05V typ), soft-start (12ms), and loop compensation. The MODE pin selects between fixed-frequency PWM or automatic Burst Mode® operation, while VS1/VS2 pins configure one of four factory-trimmed output voltages without external feedback resistors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 0.6V to 25V (with EXTVCC ≥ 3.15V); enables ultra-low-voltage start-up from energy-harvesting sources |
| VOUT Options | 1.8V, 3.3V, 5.0V, or 12V - selected by VS1/VS2 logic states; eliminates external FB resistor network |
| IQ (Burst Mode) | 1.6µA typical - extends battery life in always-on, intermittent-load applications like remote sensors |
| Switching Frequency | 1.2MHz ±20% - allows use of compact 6.8µH inductors and ceramic capacitors, minimizing solution footprint |
| Output Current | 600mA continuous in buck mode; peak inductor current limit up to 1.3A supports transient loads |
| MPPC Reference | 1.00V ±50mV - enables precise servo control of input voltage for maximum power extraction from PV panels |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at TJ = 165°C - protects device during overload or poor PCB thermal design |
Pinout & Package
Package: 20-lead (3mm × 4mm) plastic QFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 21 = GND). Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 7–8, Pin 21) | Ground reference and thermal path | Exposed pad (Pin 21) must be soldered to PCB ground plane; provides primary thermal conduction path (θJC = 6.8°C/W) |
| VIN (Pin 3) | Main input supply for VCC regulator | Supplies internal 4V LDO; requires ≥1µF ceramic decoupling; minimum start-up voltage = 2.4V (no EXTVCC) |
| EXTVCC (Pin 12) | Secondary VCC input | Enables operation from VIN as low as 0.6V; must be ≥3.15V to activate; reduces VIN quiescent draw in buck configurations |
| RUN (Pin 4) | Enable/control input | Threshold = 1.05V (rising); hysteresis = 100mV; ties to VIN for always-on operation; enables accurate VIN UVLO programming |
| MODE (Pin 11) | Operating mode select | Low = Burst Mode® (ultra-low IQ); High = fixed-frequency PWM (low-noise, predictable ripple) |
| VS1 / VS2 (Pins 10 / 9) | Fixed VOUT selection inputs | Logic-level inputs (0V/VCC) that configure one of four factory-trimmed outputs per Table 1; no external resistors needed |
| MPPC (Pin 6) | Maximum Power Point Control input | Compares input voltage to 1.00V reference; drives inductor current to maintain programmed input voltage - critical for solar harvesters |
| PGOOD (Pin 13) | Power-good status indicator | Open-drain output asserts low when VOUT drops >5% below regulation; requires external pull-up for system monitoring |
| VOUT (Pin 14) | Regulated output | Delivers up to 600mA; requires ≥4.7µF ceramic output capacitor; short-circuit protected via current limiting |
| SW1 / SW2 (Pins 20 / 15) | Power switch nodes | Connect to opposite ends of power inductor; require short, wide PCB traces to minimize EMI and conduction loss |
| BST1 / BST2 (Pins 1 / 16) | Bootstrap supplies for high-side NMOS gates | Each requires dedicated 22nF ceramic capacitor from BSTx to corresponding SWx; placement critical for gate drive integrity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Four-pin-selectable VOUT | 1.8V/3.3V/5.0V/12V factory-trimmed outputs eliminate external feedback resistors and calibration effort |
| Sub-1V start-up capability | Operates from VIN as low as 0.6V when EXTVCC ≥ 3.15V - enables direct connection to single-cell LiFePO₄ or thin-film batteries |
| 1.6µA Burst Mode® IQ | Extends shelf life and runtime in battery-powered IoT sensors where load duty cycle is <0.1% |
| Integrated MPPC | 1.00V reference with <20nA input bias enables high-accuracy, low-component-count solar MPPT without microcontroller |
| Thermally enhanced QFN | 3mm × 4mm package with exposed GND pad achieves θJA = 52°C/W - supports 600mA continuous output at 85°C ambient |
| Accurate RUN threshold | 1.05V ±40mV enable threshold with 100mV hysteresis ensures reliable, noise-immune turn-on across temperature |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LTC3130IUDC-1#PBF to start switching?
The LTC3130IUDC-1#PBF starts switching at VIN = 2.4V when powered solely from VIN. With EXTVCC ≥ 3.15V applied, start-up is possible from VIN as low as 0.6V - enabling operation directly from partially discharged single-cell batteries or low-voltage energy harvesters. This behavior is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "VIN Start-Up Voltage" with EXTVCC > 3.15V condition.
How do I configure the LTC3130IUDC-1#PBF for 5.0V output?
To configure the LTC3130IUDC-1#PBF for 5.0V output, tie VS1 to GND and VS2 to VCC (or logic-high signal ≥1.1V), per Table 1 in the datasheet. No external resistors or programming are required - the 5.0V output is factory-trimmed and specified over temperature (±3% from –40°C to +125°C). The LTC3130IUDC-1#PBF delivers this voltage with built-in loop compensation and soft-start.
Does the LTC3130IUDC-1#PBF support maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for solar panels?
Yes, the LTC3130IUDC-1#PBF includes integrated Maximum Power Point Control (MPPC) via the MPPC pin, which compares an external resistor-divider voltage to an internal 1.00V reference. When the divider voltage falls below ~1.0V, the converter reduces inductor current to servo VIN to the programmed voltage - enabling autonomous MPPT without external microcontroller or dedicated IC. This function is explicitly documented in the Features, Description, and PIN FUNCTIONS sections.
What is the purpose of the EXTVCC pin on the LTC3130IUDC-1#PBF?
The EXTVCC pin on the LTC3130IUDC-1#PBF provides a secondary input to the internal 4V VCC regulator. When driven with 3.15V–25V (e.g., from VOUT or a separate supply), it powers the IC's internal circuitry, reducing VIN quiescent current and enabling operation from VIN as low as 0.6V. If unused, EXTVCC must be grounded. Its quiescent current in Burst Mode is 1.6µA - identical to VIN IQ - ensuring no penalty for using this feature.
Is the LTC3130IUDC-1#PBF pin-compatible with other variants in the LTC3130 family?
Yes, the LTC3130IUDC-1#PBF shares identical 20-lead 3mm × 4mm QFN packaging and pinout with LTC3130IUDC#PBF, LTC3130EUDC-1#PBF, and LTC3130EUDC#PBF. All share the same pin functions, absolute maximum ratings, and thermal pad configuration (Pin 21 = GND). Differences are limited to temperature grade (I-grade = –40°C to +125°C) and internal configuration (LTC3130-1 has fixed-VOUT logic; standard LTC3130 uses FB pin).
