Product details
Overview
LTC3203BEDD#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a low-noise, constant-frequency charge pump DC/DC converter optimized for LED backlight and camera flash power in portable devices. It delivers up to 500mA output current from 2.7V–5.5V input, operates at fixed 0.9MHz (1.5×) or 1.0MHz (2×) switching frequency, and features user-selectable 4.5V or 5V fixed output via VSEL pin - ideal for white LED biasing and USB OTG supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3203BEDD#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3203BEDD#TRPBF pinout, LTC3203BEDD#TRPBF application, or LTC3203BEDD#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its constant-frequency low-noise operation (vs. Burst Mode variants), thermal shutdown protection, 10-pin 3mm × 3mm DFN package with exposed pad, and dual-mode voltage conversion (1.5×/2×) controlled by the MODE pin.
Technical Context
The LTC3203BEDD#TRPBF implements a switched-capacitor charge pump architecture with non-overlapping two-phase clocking. It supports both 1.5× (0.9MHz) and 2× (1.0MHz) voltage conversion modes, selected via the MODE pin's voltage threshold (VMODEH = 0.91V typ, VMODEL = 0.82V typ). Unlike Burst Mode variants, it maintains constant frequency across all load conditions to minimize EMI and output ripple.
It uses an internal 0.91V reference and VSEL pin (not FB) to select between 4.5V (±4%) or 5V (±4%) regulated output - no external feedback divider required. Built-in soft-start limits inrush current over ~250µs, and short-circuit protection limits output current to ~1A while thermal shutdown activates at ~150°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V) and USB 5V input without LDO pre-regulation. |
| VOUT Options | 4.5V or 5V (user-selectable via VSEL pin) - ±4% tolerance ensures stable white LED current or logic rail compliance. |
| Max Output Current | 500mA - sufficient for driving 4–6 parallel white LEDs at 100mA each in backlight applications. |
| Switching Frequency | 0.9MHz (1.5× mode) or 1.0MHz (2× mode) - enables use of small 2.2µF ceramic flying capacitors and reduces EMI filtering burden. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - preserves battery life during system sleep; VOUT disconnected from VIN in shutdown. |
| Thermal Protection | Junction shutdown at ~150°C, restart at ~135°C - prevents damage under sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
| Package | 10-pin 3mm × 3mm DFN with exposed pad (Pin 11 = GND) - requires soldered thermal pad for θJA = 44°C/W rating. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-lead (3mm × 3mm) plastic DFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 11 = GND). Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB ground plane for thermal performance and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| C2+ (Pin 1) | Flying capacitor C2 positive terminal | Connects to + side of second 2.2µF ceramic flying cap; polarity reversal during operation mandates non-polarized ceramic only. |
| VOUT (Pin 2) | Regulated output voltage | Delivers 4.5V or 5V; requires ≥4.7µF low-ESR ceramic bypass cap placed adjacent to pin for stability and ripple control. |
| C1+ (Pin 3) | Flying capacitor C1 positive terminal | Connects to + side of first 2.2µF ceramic flying cap; same polarity constraints as C2+. |
| SHDN (Pin 4) | Active-low shutdown control | Pull low to disable converter; draws <1µA in shutdown; must not be left floating (CMOS input). |
| VSEL (Pin 5) | Output voltage selection | Logic 0 → 4.5V output; logic 1 → 5V output; internal pull-down ensures default 4.5V if unconnected. |
| MODE (Pin 6) | Conversion mode selection | Voltage >0.91V → 1.5× mode (higher efficiency); <0.82V → 2× mode (higher output current); hysteresis prevents chatter. |
| VIN (Pin 7) | Input supply voltage | Accepts 2.7–5.5V; requires ≥2.2µF low-ESR ceramic bypass cap to GND close to pin to suppress input ripple. |
| C2– (Pin 8) | Flying capacitor C2 negative terminal | Connects to – side of second flying cap; forms charge-transfer path with C2+ and internal switches. |
| GND (Pin 9) | Signal ground reference | Primary ground return; must connect to low-impedance PCB ground plane; ties to exposed pad (Pin 11). |
| C1– (Pin 10) | Flying capacitor C1 negative terminal | Connects to – side of first flying cap; works in tandem with C1+ and internal clock phases. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar charge pump DC/DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3203EDD#TRPBF | Burst Mode operation (IQ ≈ 120µA), not constant frequency; identical pinout and package. | Better light-load efficiency but higher output ripple and potential EMI concerns in noise-sensitive imaging systems. | Select LTC3203EDD#TRPBF only when ultra-low quiescent current dominates over noise/ripple requirements. |
| LTC3203B-1EDD#TRPBF | Same constant-frequency operation and VSEL functionality, but rated for –40°C to 85°C industrial temp range (vs. 0°C to 85°C for LTC3203BEDD#TRPBF). | Suitable for extended-temperature industrial handhelds or automotive infotainment displays where ambient exceeds 0°C minimum. | Choose LTC3203B-1EDD#TRPBF when full –40°C startup and operation is required; otherwise LTC3203BEDD#TRPBF suffices for consumer-grade devices. |
Compared with LTC3203EDD#TRPBF, the LTC3203BEDD#TRPBF trades light-load efficiency for superior EMI performance and tighter output regulation under dynamic loads; compared with LTC3203B-1EDD#TRPBF, it offers identical electrical behavior but with reduced temperature qualification - making it optimal for cost-sensitive consumer electronics with standard ambient operating ranges.

FAQ
What is the key functional difference between LTC3203BEDD#TRPBF and LTC3203EDD#TRPBF?
The LTC3203BEDD#TRPBF operates exclusively in constant-frequency mode (0.9MHz/1.0MHz) for low-noise performance, while the LTC3203EDD#TRPBF uses Burst Mode at light loads to achieve ~120µA quiescent current. Both share identical pinout, package, and VSEL-based 4.5V/5V output selection. The LTC3203BEDD#TRPBF is preferred in camera, audio, and display applications where EMI and output ripple must be minimized.
Can LTC3203BEDD#TRPBF be used to drive white LEDs directly?
Yes - the LTC3203BEDD#TRPBF is commonly used to bias white LED strings. With VSEL set to logic 0, it delivers a tightly regulated 4.5V output (±4%), matching typical forward voltage of 3–4 white LEDs in series. For constant-current operation, pair it with an external current-sense resistor and feedback configuration per Figure 2 in the datasheet, though the standard 4.5V/5V fixed-output mode suffices for many parallel LED arrays.
What are the absolute maximum ratings for VIN and VOUT on LTC3203BEDD#TRPBF?
The absolute maximum rating for VIN and VOUT relative to GND is –0.3V to 6V. Exceeding 6V may cause permanent damage. The device is specified for continuous operation from 2.7V to 5.5V input, and output is regulated at either 4.5V or 5V. VOUT short-circuit duration is indefinite due to built-in current limiting (~1A) and thermal protection.
Is external feedback compensation required when using the VSEL pin on LTC3203BEDD#TRPBF?
No - the VSEL pin selects between two factory-trimmed internal feedback dividers for 4.5V or 5V output, eliminating need for external resistors or compensation components. This contrasts with the FB-pin variants (e.g., LTC3203B), which require an external R1/R2 divider and optional 5pF compensation capacitor (CFB) for stability when programming arbitrary output voltages.
How should the exposed thermal pad (Pin 11) of LTC3203BEDD#TRPBF be handled on the PCB?
The exposed pad (Pin 11) is electrically GND and thermally critical. It must be soldered to a dedicated PCB copper pour connected to the main ground plane using ≥4 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter) to inner/ground layers. Insufficient soldering or missing vias will degrade thermal resistance (θJA rises from 44°C/W), risking thermal shutdown under 500mA load at elevated ambient temperatures.
