Product details
Overview
LTC3203EDD#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a low-noise, high-efficiency 1.5x/2x fractional charge pump DC/DC converter delivering up to 500mA output current from 2.7V–5.5V input. It features user-selectable fixed 4.5V or 5V output via VSEL pin, Burst Mode operation (IQ ≈ 120µA), and integrated short-circuit/thermal protection. It powers LED backlighting in compact battery-powered devices such as smartphones and PDAs.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3203EDD#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3203EDD#TRPBF pinout, LTC3203EDD#TRPBF application, or LTC3203EDD#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include output voltage programmability (4.5V/5V), dual-mode efficiency trade-offs (Burst vs constant-frequency), thermal derating at 500mA, DFN-10 package layout constraints, and flying capacitor selection for ripple control.
Technical Context
The LTC3203EDD#TRPBF implements a two-phase non-overlapping switched-capacitor architecture with selectable 1.5x (0.9MHz) or 2x (1MHz) voltage conversion. Its MODE pin controls mode switching based on externally set voltage thresholds, enabling adaptive efficiency optimization across input voltage range.
Regulation is achieved via internal 0.91V reference and error amplifier comparing feedback (FB) or fixed VSEL logic state. Soft-start limits inrush current over ~250µs, while shutdown disconnects VOUT from VIN and reduces quiescent current to <1µA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, USB, and 3.3V system rails without external LDO pre-regulation. |
| VOUT Options | 4.5V or 5V (fixed, VSEL-controlled) - matches white LED forward voltage or 5V logic interface requirements. |
| Max Output Current | 500mA - sufficient for driving 4–6 parallel white LEDs at 20mA each in backlight applications. |
| Switching Frequency | 0.9MHz (1.5x) / 1MHz (2x) - enables use of small 2.2µF ceramic flying capacitors and minimizes EMI. |
| Quiescent Current | 120µA (Burst Mode) - extends battery life in standby or low-brightness display modes. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - ensures negligible drain during system sleep or power-off states. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C (re-enable at ~135°C) - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-pin (3mm × 3mm) DFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 11 = GND). Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB ground plane for thermal performance (θJA = 44°C/W).
| 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 prohibits polarized caps. |
| VOUT (Pin 2) | Regulated output voltage | Must be bypassed with ≥4.7µF low-ESR ceramic cap; output impedance ≤0.27Ω (1.5x mode) affects load transient response. |
| 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 | Pulling low disables charge pump and disconnects VOUT from VIN; must not float (CMOS input, leakage ±1µA). |
| VSEL (Pin 5) | Output voltage select input | Logic 0 → 4.5V output; logic 1 → 5V output; defines fixed regulation point without external resistors. |
| MODE (Pin 6) | Conversion mode selection | VMODEH >0.874V → 1.5x mode (higher efficiency); VMODEL <0.852V → 2x mode (higher current, lower ripple). |
| VIN (Pin 7) | Input supply voltage | Requires ≥2.2µF low-ESR ceramic bypass cap; input current profile is near-constant, reducing supply noise. |
| 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) | Power ground reference | Low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane essential for noise immunity and thermal conduction. |
| C1– (Pin 10) | Flying capacitor C1 negative terminal | Connects to – side of first flying cap; interleaved switching with C2– minimizes input/output ripple. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-mode charge pump (1.5x/2x) | Enables dynamic efficiency optimization: 1.5x mode improves η at higher VIN; 2x mode sustains output at low VIN. |
| Burst Mode operation | Reduces no-load IQ to ~120µA by disabling oscillator during light loads-critical for battery runtime in display idle states. |
| Fixed 4.5V/5V output selection | VSEL pin eliminates external resistor divider, simplifying BOM and layout for LED backlight or USB OTG 5V supply. |
| Integrated protection | Short-circuit current limit (~1A) and thermal shutdown (150°C) prevent damage under fault conditions without external circuitry. |
| Soft-start circuitry | Linearly ramps output current over ~250µs to avoid inrush into large output capacitors and stabilize input rail. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX8647ETE+ | Fixed 5V output only; no VSEL option; 400mA max output; uses different MODE threshold voltages. | Lacks 4.5V LED-optimized setting; lower current capability limits multi-LED configurations. | Select when 5V-only output and lower cost are prioritized over flexibility and peak current headroom. |

FAQ
What output voltage options does the LTC3203EDD#TRPBF support?
The LTC3203EDD#TRPBF supports two fixed output voltages: 4.5V (when VSEL = 0V) and 5V (when VSEL = VIN). These are factory-trimmed and do not require external resistors. The 4.5V setting is optimized for white LED forward voltage, while 5V meets USB OTG and logic interface requirements. No adjustment is possible beyond these two points.
How does Burst Mode operation improve efficiency in the LTC3203EDD#TRPBF?
Burst Mode operation in the LTC3203EDD#TRPBF reduces no-load quiescent current to approximately 120µA by disabling the internal oscillator and entering a low-power sleep state when load current falls below a VIN-dependent threshold. This significantly extends battery life in display idle or low-brightness modes, while automatic wake-up maintains regulation during load transients.
Can the LTC3203EDD#TRPBF drive 500mA continuously without thermal issues?
The LTC3203EDD#TRPBF can deliver 500mA continuously only with proper thermal design: the exposed pad (Pin 11) must be soldered to a minimum 100mm² copper pour on the PCB, and ambient temperature must remain ≤60°C. At 5.5V input and 5V output, power dissipation exceeds 500mW-exceeding safe junction temperature without adequate heatsinking.
What are the critical layout requirements for the LTC3203EDD#TRPBF flying capacitors?
The LTC3203EDD#TRPBF requires two 2.2µF low-ESR X5R/X7R ceramic flying capacitors (C1, C2) placed symmetrically adjacent to Pins 1–3 and 8–10. Polarized capacitors (tantalum, aluminum) are strictly prohibited due to voltage reversal during startup. Trace lengths must be minimized (<2mm), and ground vias must connect directly to the exposed pad to maintain low-inductance return paths.
Does the LTC3203EDD#TRPBF support automatic mode switching between 1.5x and 2x operation?
Yes-the LTC3203EDD#TRPBF supports automatic mode switching via the MODE pin. By connecting a resistor divider from VIN to GND, the MODE voltage crosses VMODEH (0.874–0.946V) to enter 1.5x mode or VMODEL (0.788–0.852V) to enter 2x mode. Hysteresis prevents oscillation, enabling seamless adaptation to input voltage changes without external control logic.
