Product details
Overview
LTC3245EMSE#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a wide-input (2.7V–38V), low-noise, 250mA switched-capacitor buck-boost DC/DC converter delivering regulated fixed 3.3V/5V or adjustable 2.5V–5V output. It uses fractional charge-pump conversion with automatic 2:1/1:1/1:2 mode switching, requires no inductors, and features pin-selectable Burst Mode® for efficiency optimization. It is AEC-Q100 qualified and used in automotive ECU/CAN transceiver supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3245EMSE#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3245EMSE#TRPBF pinout, LTC3245EMSE#TRPBF application, or LTC3245EMSE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (2.7V–38V), output current capability (250mA), multimode operation with automatic ratio selection, low quiescent current (18µA), and thermally enhanced 12-pin MSOP packaging with exposed GND pad.
Technical Context
The LTC3245EMSE#TRPBF implements a constant-frequency switched-capacitor architecture with three operating modes-2:1 step-down (VIN > 2×VOUT), 1:1 step-down (VOUT < VIN ≤ 2×VOUT), and 1:2 step-up (VIN < VOUT)-selected automatically based on real-time VIN, VOUT, and load conditions. Internal comparators with load-dependent hysteresis ensure stable mode transitions without oscillation.
Regulation is achieved by sensing VOUT at the OUTS/ADJ pin and adjusting per-cycle charge transfer to match load demand. The control loop error is stored directly on COUT, forming the dominant pole; stability requires ≥4µF low-ESR ceramic output capacitance. PGOOD provides open-drain power-good signaling with 95% rising and 91% falling thresholds relative to final regulation voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 2.7V to 38V - supports direct connection to automotive battery (cold-crank down to 2.7V) and industrial 24V/36V rails without pre-regulation. |
| IOUT Max | 250mA - sufficient for powering CAN transceivers, microcontrollers, and sensor interfaces in space-constrained systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 18µA typical - enables always-on operation in low-power automotive housekeeping rails with minimal battery drain. |
| Output Options | Fixed 3.3V, fixed 5V, or adjustable 2.5V–5V - selected via SEL1/SEL2 logic pins; eliminates need for external feedback resistors in standard configurations. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C - rated for under-hood automotive environments and industrial control cabinets. |
| Protection | Short-circuit and overtemperature (150°C max junction) - ensures robustness during fault conditions without external circuitry. |
| Package | 12-lead MSOP with exposed GND pad - provides θJA = 40°C/W thermal resistance and mechanical reliability for reflow-soldered PCBs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 12-lead plastic MSOP (MSE), 3mm × 4.9mm footprint, exposed thermal pad (Pin 13) connected to GND and required to be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pins 1,2,3) | Power Input | Three parallel inputs accept 2.7V–38V; must be shorted together externally to reduce impedance and improve current sharing. |
| BURST (Pin 4) | Mode Control Input | Logic high enables low-noise constant-frequency operation; logic low enables Burst Mode® for higher light-load efficiency (4µA shutdown). |
| SEL1 / SEL2 (Pins 5,6) | Output Configuration Inputs | Set fixed 5V (SEL2=HI, SEL1=LO), fixed 3.3V (both HI), adjustable (SEL2=LO, SEL1=HI), or shutdown (both LO). |
| OUTS/ADJ (Pin 7) | Feedback Node | Serves as VOUT sense for fixed outputs or ADJ reference (1.200V ±2.4%) for resistor-divider programming of adjustable outputs. |
| PGOOD (Pin 8) | Open-Drain Status Output | Signals valid regulation when VOUT reaches ≥95% of target; requires external pull-up to VOUT or low-voltage rail. |
| C+ / C– (Pins 9,11) | Flying Capacitor Terminals | Connect single 1µF ceramic flying capacitor; polarity-sensitive-C+ to positive plate, C– to negative plate. |
| VOUT (Pin 10) | Regulated Output | Delivers up to 250mA; includes internal reverse-blocking to prevent backfeed when VIN drops below UVLO (2.2V typical). |
| GND (Pins 12,13) | Ground Reference | Pins 12 and 13 (exposed pad) are internally connected; pad must be soldered to PCB ground for thermal dissipation and noise immunity. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck-boost charge pump applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX17521ATP+T | Inductor-based synchronous buck-boost; wider 4.5V–60V input; higher 500mA output; requires external inductor and compensation network. | Used where higher output current or tighter output voltage accuracy (<±1%) is required; not suitable for ultra-low-EMI designs. | Select MAX17521ATP+T when >250mA load or >60V transient immunity is needed; avoid if board space or EMI constraints prohibit inductors. |
| LTC3265EMSE#TRPBF | Low-noise dual-output (±VOUT) charge pump; 2.7V–4.5V input only; 100mA per rail; includes integrated LDO post-regulators. | Targeted at precision bipolar analog supplies (e.g., op-amp rails); lacks wide-VIN capability and automotive qualification. | Select LTC3265EMSE#TRPBF for dual-rail analog signal chains; avoid for automotive or single-rail >4.5V input applications. |
Compared with MAX17521ATP+T and LTC3265EMSE#TRPBF, the LTC3245EMSE#TRPBF uniquely balances ultra-wide input range (2.7V–38V), inductorless design, AEC-Q100 qualification, and 250mA output in a compact MSOP package-making it optimal for cost- and space-sensitive automotive and industrial housekeeping rails.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current of the LTC3245EMSE#TRPBF?
The LTC3245EMSE#TRPBF delivers up to 250mA continuous output current in 2:1 and 1:1 step-down modes. In 1:2 step-up mode, output current is limited to 150mA at VIN = 3.3V and 75mA at VIN = 2.7V due to internal charge-pump drive strength. Derating is required above +85°C ambient to maintain 150°C max junction temperature.
Does the LTC3245EMSE#TRPBF require an inductor?
No, the LTC3245EMSE#TRPBF is a switched-capacitor charge-pump DC/DC converter and requires only three external ceramic capacitors: one 1µF flying capacitor (CFLY) and two 10µF output/input capacitors (COUT, CIN). This eliminates magnetic components, reduces EMI, and simplifies layout compared to inductor-based regulators.
How is output voltage configured on the LTC3245EMSE#TRPBF?
Output voltage on the LTC3245EMSE#TRPBF is set via SEL1 and SEL2 logic pins: fixed 5V (SEL2=HI, SEL1=LO), fixed 3.3V (both HI), adjustable 2.5V–5V (SEL2=LO, SEL1=HI), or shutdown (both LO). For adjustable mode, a resistor divider connects OUTS/ADJ to GND with VOUT = 1.2V × (1 + RA/RB).
What is the purpose of the PGOOD pin on the LTC3245EMSE#TRPBF?
The PGOOD pin on the LTC3245EMSE#TRPBF is an open-drain output that signals valid regulation: it goes high-impedance when VOUT reaches ≥95% of its target voltage and returns low-impedance when VOUT falls below 91% due to overload or shutdown. It requires an external pull-up resistor (e.g., to VOUT) for proper logic-level signaling.
Is the LTC3245EMSE#TRPBF qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the LTC3245EMSE#TRPBF is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade I, –40°C to +125°C) and manufactured under controlled automotive processes. It includes built-in short-circuit protection, overtemperature shutdown (150°C max junction), and UVLO (2.2V typical) - making it suitable for ECU, CAN transceiver, and body electronics power rails.
