Product details
Overview
LTC3204EDC-5#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a fixed 5V, low-noise, constant-frequency switched-capacitor voltage doubler IC. It delivers up to 150mA output from 2.7V–5.5V input (e.g., single Li-Ion cell), operates at 1.2MHz switching frequency, features built-in soft-start and thermal/short-circuit protection, and is used in USB On-The-Go power rails and white LED drivers.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3204EDC-5#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC3204EDC-5#TRMPBF pinout, LTC3204EDC-5#TRMPBF application, or LTC3204EDC-5#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include regulated 5V output capability, 150mA load support, <1µA shutdown current, DFN-6 (2mm × 2mm) package compatibility, and Burst Mode vs constant-frequency variant differentiation.
Technical Context
The LTC3204EDC-5#TRMPBF implements a 2-phase nonoverlapping 1.2MHz charge pump topology with internal resistor-divider feedback for regulation. It uses flying capacitor charge/discharge cycling between VIN and VOUT to achieve voltage doubling, with closed-loop control modulating pump strength based on output error.
It supports two operating modes: automatic Burst Mode® (for low quiescent current at light loads) and constant-frequency operation across all loads - though LTC3204EDC-5#TRMPBF specifically corresponds to the Burst Mode variant per part marking and ordering information (LBJV/LBNK series), confirmed by its 60µA no-load input current and 20mA Burst Mode threshold.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±4% (4.8V–5.2V); regulated output suitable for powering 5V logic or USB peripherals without external feedback. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V; enables direct use with single-cell Li-Ion (3.0–4.2V) or 3.3V system rails. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA continuous; sufficient to drive multiple white LEDs or USB OTG host circuitry. |
| No-Load Input Current | 60µA typical; enables long battery life in standby mode for portable devices. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA; disconnects load from input and minimizes leakage during system sleep. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.2MHz typical; allows use of tiny 2.2µF ceramic capacitors, reducing solution footprint vs lower-frequency charge pumps. |
| Output Ripple | 20mVP-P at 100mA load; low noise critical for noise-sensitive analog or RF subsystems. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-lead plastic DFN (2mm × 2mm, 0.75mm height) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 7, GND). Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 1, 7) | Ground reference and thermal path | Both pins must connect to solid PCB ground plane; exposed pad (Pin 7) is mandatory for thermal management and noise reduction. |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Input supply connection | Accepts 2.7V–5.5V; requires ≥2.2µF low-ESR ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| VOUT (Pin 3) | Regulated 5V output | Delivers up to 150mA; requires ≥2.2µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor near pin for stability and ripple suppression. |
| C+ (Pin 4) | Flying capacitor positive terminal | Connects to positive side of 2.2µF flying capacitor; polarity reversal during operation prohibits polarized capacitors. |
| C− (Pin 5) | Flying capacitor negative terminal | Connects to negative side of 2.2µF flying capacitor; forms charge-transfer path with C+ and internal switches. |
| SHDN (Pin 6) | Active-low shutdown control | Logic low disables device and disconnects VOUT from VIN; threshold is 0.4V (low) / 1.3V (high); must not float. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Burst Mode® operation | Reduces no-load IQ to 60µA and eliminates switching losses at light loads, extending battery runtime in intermittent-use applications. |
| Integrated soft-start | Ramps output current over 0.75ms to limit inrush, preventing input rail droop and avoiding false brown-out detection in host systems. |
| Short-circuit & thermal protection | Current limits to ~300mA and cycles into/out of thermal shutdown above ~160°C junction temperature-no latch-up or damage under fault. |
| Low-noise 1.2MHz operation | Enables use of small 2.2µF ceramic capacitors and avoids audible noise or EMI in sensitive bands (e.g., audio, RF receivers). |
| Shutdown disconnect | Physically isolates VOUT from VIN during SHDN assertion, eliminating reverse current and enabling true load isolation in multi-rail systems. |
Applications
| USB On-The-Go Power Supply | Li-Ion to 5V White LED Driver |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Compact, capacitor-only voltage booster providing isolated 5V rail without inductor EMI or layout sensitivity. Use Value: DFN-6 (2mm × 2mm) footprint fits tight spaces; 60µA no-load IQ preserves battery life during MCU sleep cycles. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage-doubling charge pump applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3204BEDC-5#TRMPBF | Constant-frequency operation at all loads (no Burst Mode); higher no-load IQ (3.6mA vs 60µA) | Better for noise-sensitive systems requiring deterministic 1.2MHz spectrum; unsuitable for ultra-low-power standby | Select when EMI filtering is prioritized over battery life, or when load is consistently >20mA |
| LTC3200-5ES6#TRMPBF | 2MHz switching frequency; 100mA max output; ThinSOT-6 package (3mm × 3mm) | Higher frequency enables smaller capacitors but reduces max current; larger footprint than DFN-6 | Choose when board space permits larger package and 100mA suffices, or when 2MHz operation better fits system EMI profile |
Compared with LTC3204BEDC-5#TRMPBF, LTC3204EDC-5#TRMPBF trades deterministic frequency for 60× lower no-load current-critical for battery longevity. Versus LTC3200-5ES6#TRMPBF, it offers +50mA output and 30% smaller footprint at the cost of 0.8MHz lower switching frequency.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the LTC3204EDC-5#TRMPBF?
The LTC3204EDC-5#TRMPBF provides a fixed 5.0V output with ±4% tolerance (4.8V to 5.2V) across its full operating range of 2.7V–5.5V input and 0–150mA load, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under VOUT parameter conditions.
Does the LTC3204EDC-5#TRMPBF support PWM brightness control for LEDs?
Yes-the LTC3204EDC-5#TRMPBF supports PWM dimming by applying a pulse waveform to the SHDN pin. Its fast turn-on/turn-off response (soft-start time = 0.75ms) enables smooth LED brightness adjustment without visible flicker at typical PWM frequencies (100Hz–10kHz).
What is the minimum input voltage required for the LTC3204EDC-5#TRMPBF to regulate 5V?
The LTC3204EDC-5#TRMPBF requires a minimum input voltage of 2.7V to maintain 5V regulation, as defined in its Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. Below 2.7V, output voltage drops below specification and regulation is lost.
Can I use tantalum capacitors for the flying capacitor in the LTC3204EDC-5#TRMPBF?
No-tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors must never be used for the flying capacitor (C+ and C− pins) because voltage polarity reverses during charge-pump operation. Only low-ESR ceramic capacitors (e.g., 2.2µF X7R, 0603) are permitted to prevent catastrophic failure.
How does the Burst Mode® operation of the LTC3204EDC-5#TRMPBF reduce power consumption?
The LTC3204EDC-5#TRMPBF enters Burst Mode® when load current falls below ~20mA, shutting down its 1.2MHz oscillator and entering a low-power sleep state drawing only ~60µA. It wakes periodically to recharge the output capacitor, maintaining regulation while minimizing average input current-ideal for intermittent-load applications.
