Product details
Overview
LTC3130IUDC#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic, current-mode buck-boost DC/DC converter optimized for ultra-low-power, wide-input applications. It delivers up to 600mA output current with 1.6µA quiescent current in Burst Mode®, supports input voltages from 2.4V to 25V (or down to 0.6V with EXTVCC), regulates output from 1V to 25V, and features programmable maximum power point control (MPPC) - ideal for solar-powered sensor nodes and long-life battery systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3130IUDC#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3130IUDC#TRPBF pinout, LTC3130IUDC#TRPBF application, or LTC3130IUDC#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.2MHz ultralow-noise PWM architecture, pin-selectable Burst Mode® vs fixed-frequency operation, accurate RUN comparator threshold (1.05V typ), integrated soft-start, and thermally enhanced 20-lead 3mm × 4mm QFN package with exposed ground pad.
Technical Context
The LTC3130IUDC#TRPBF employs a synchronous four-switch buck-boost topology with dual NMOS power switches (SW1/SW2) and integrated gate drivers powered by BST1/BST2 bootstrap supplies. Its current-mode control loop uses internal compensation and supports seamless transitions between buck, boost, and buck-boost regions without mode switching artifacts.
It integrates a 4V LDO for internal VCC regulation, supports external VCC biasing via EXTVCC to extend VIN down to 1V, and implements MPPC by servoing inductor current based on a precision 1.00V MPPC reference. The RUN pin enables precise start-up control with 100mV hysteresis, while MODE selects between Burst Mode® (1.6µA IQ) and fixed-frequency PWM (1.2MHz).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| Package | 20-lead 3mm × 4mm QFN with exposed thermal pad - achieves θJA = 52°C/W for high efficiency in space-constrained layouts. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 20-lead (3mm × 4mm) plastic QFN with exposed GND pad (Pin 21), rated for –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature. Exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BST1 (1) | Bootstrap supply for SW1 high-side driver | Requires 22nF capacitor to SW1; enables efficient 100% duty-cycle capability in boost mode. |
| PVIN (2) | Main power input to buck-boost power stage | Accepts up to 27.5V; bypass with ≥4.7µF ceramic capacitor close to pin for stability. |
| VIN (3) | Input to internal VCC LDO regulator | Supplies internal circuitry; minimum 1µF decoupling required; UVLO at 2.3V (rising). |
| RUN (4) | Enable comparator input | Turns on converter when >1.05V; 100mV hysteresis prevents chatter; supports precise VIN start threshold via resistor divider. |
| VCC (5) | Internal 4V regulated supply output | Bypass with ≥4.7µF ceramic; can power external logic ≤2mA; dropout <100mV at 3V input. |
| MPPC (6) | Maximum Power Point Control input | Compares to 1.00V reference; drives inductor current to maintain programmed VIN voltage - critical for solar harvesting. |
| GND (7–8, 21) | Analog and power ground reference | Exposed pad (Pin 21) is mandatory GND connection; provides primary thermal path and low-impedance return. |
| FB (9) | Feedback input for adjustable output | 1.000V reference (±20mV); sets VOUT = 1.0V × (1 + R1/R2); high-impedance (≤10nA) for low divider current. |
| VS1/ILIM (10) | Output select (LTC3130-1) / current limit (LTC3130) | This part is LTC3130 (not -1), so ILIM configures average inductor current limit: 250mA (low) or 660mA (high). |
| MODE (11) | Operation mode select | Low = Burst Mode® (ultra-low IQ); High = fixed 1.2MHz PWM; internal 3MΩ pull-down prevents floating. |
| EXTVCC (12) | Secondary VCC input | Enables operation down to 1V VIN; reduces input quiescent draw; requires 4.7µF if not tied directly to VOUT cap. |
| PGOOD (13) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Asserts low when VOUT drops >7.5% below regulation; requires external pull-up; active during UVLO/shutdown. |
| VOUT (14) | Regulated output voltage | Delivers up to 600mA; bypass with ≥4.7µF ceramic; short-circuit protected via current limiting. |
| BST2 (16) | Bootstrap supply for SW2 high-side driver | Requires 22nF capacitor to SW2; complements BST1 for full 4-switch operation. |
| SW2 (15) | High-side switch node (boost path) | Connects to inductor second terminal; keep trace short/wide to minimize EMI and conduction loss. |
| PGND (18–19) | Power ground return for switches | Separate from analog GND pins; must connect directly to exposed pad and low-impedance ground plane. |
| SW1 (20) | High-side switch node (buck path) | Connects to inductor first terminal; same layout rules as SW2 for optimal efficiency and noise control. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required to start up the LTC3130IUDC#TRPBF?
The LTC3130IUDC#TRPBF achieves start-up from as low as 2.4V on VIN when EXTVCC is unconnected. With EXTVCC ≥ 3.15V, start-up is guaranteed down to 0.6V on VIN - enabling operation from nearly depleted batteries or low-output energy harvesters. Startup power requirement is just 7.5µW, verified per datasheet Figure 21.
Does the LTC3130IUDC#TRPBF support maximum power point tracking (MPPC) and how is it configured?
Yes, the LTC3130IUDC#TRPBF includes integrated MPPC functionality. It is configured by connecting the MPPC pin to a resistor divider from VIN to GND, setting the target input voltage to match the solar panel's VMPP. The internal 1.00V reference compares the divider output and adjusts inductor current to servo VIN to that point - no external controller or software is needed.
What package type and thermal characteristics does the LTC3130IUDC#TRPBF use?
The LTC3130IUDC#TRPBF uses a 20-lead 3mm × 4mm plastic QFN package with an exposed thermal pad (Pin 21). Its thermal resistance is θJA = 52°C/W and θJC = 6.8°C/W. Proper soldering of the exposed pad to a PCB ground plane is mandatory to achieve these ratings and sustain 600mA output without thermal derating.
How does the MODE pin affect efficiency and noise performance of the LTC3130IUDC#TRPBF?
When MODE = 0V, the LTC3130IUDC#TRPBF enters Burst Mode® operation, reducing quiescent current to 1.6µA but introducing low-frequency output ripple (~1kHz). When MODE = VCC, it operates in fixed 1.2MHz PWM mode - delivering lower output ripple and tighter regulation at the cost of ~20× higher light-load IQ. Selection depends on system noise sensitivity versus battery life requirements.
Can the LTC3130IUDC#TRPBF regulate output voltage above, below, or equal to input voltage?
Yes, the LTC3130IUDC#TRPBF is a true four-switch buck-boost converter capable of seamless regulation whether VOUT is greater than, less than, or equal to VIN. This eliminates the need for separate buck and boost converters in systems with variable input sources such as batteries discharging from 4.2V to 2.5V while powering a constant 3.3V rail.
