Product details
Overview
LTC3245IDE#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a wide-input, low-noise, 250mA switched-capacitor buck-boost DC/DC converter supporting 2.7V–38V input and delivering regulated 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 LTC3245IDE#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3245IDE#TRPBF pinout, LTC3245IDE#TRPBF application, or LTC3245IDE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (2.7V–38V), output current capability (250mA), quiescent current (18µA), thermal grade (–40°C to 125°C), and package type (12-pin 3mm × 4mm DFN).
Technical Context
The LTC3245IDE#TRPBF implements a constant-frequency switched-capacitor architecture with three automatic conversion modes: 2:1 step-down (VIN > 2×VOUT), 1:1 step-down (VOUT < VIN ≤ 2×VOUT), and 1:2 step-up (VIN < VOUT). Internal comparators with load-dependent hysteresis select the optimal mode to maintain regulation and peak efficiency across varying line and load conditions.
It integrates soft-start, overtemperature shutdown (175°C trip), short-circuit current limiting (~900mA), and open-drain PGOOD with 95% rising / 91% falling thresholds. The OUTS/ADJ pin serves dual roles-output sensing for fixed outputs or feedback reference (1.200V ±24mV) for adjustable configurations-and supports resistor-divider programming from 2.5V to 5V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 2.7V to 38V - enables direct operation from 12V automotive battery, 24V industrial rails, or wide-range unregulated supplies without pre-regulation. |
| IOUT Max | 250mA - sufficient to power CAN transceivers, microcontroller housekeeping rails, or small logic subsystems. |
| IQ (Operating) | 18µA - ensures ultra-low standby power in always-on automotive modules and battery-backed systems. |
| fOSC | 450kHz to 500kHz - fixed-frequency operation minimizes conducted EMI and simplifies input/output filtering vs. variable-frequency charge pumps. |
| VOUT Options | Fixed 3.3V, fixed 5V, or adjustable 2.5V–5V - selected via SEL1/SEL2 pins; eliminates need for external feedback resistors in standard applications. |
| Protection | Overtemperature shutdown (175°C), short-circuit current limit (900mA), UVLO (2.4V rising) - provides robust fault handling in harsh environments. |
| Package | 12-pin 3mm × 4mm DFN with exposed pad - thermally enhanced footprint supports 125°C junction operation with θJA = 43°C/W. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 12-pin (3mm × 4mm) plastic DFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 13 = GND). Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB ground plane for thermal performance and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pins 1, 2, 3) | Power Input | Three parallel inputs accept 2.7V–38V; must be connected together at board level for low-impedance path and 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 operating mode per Table 1: both low = shutdown; SEL2=high/SEL1=low = 5V fixed; both high = 3.3V fixed; SEL2=low/SEL1=high = adjustable. |
| OUTS/ADJ (Pin 7) | Feedback Reference | Serves as output sense node for fixed outputs or 1.200V reference for adjustable configuration using external resistor divider. |
| PGOOD (Pin 8) | Open-Drain Status Output | Signals valid regulation when VOUT reaches ≥95% of target; pulled up externally (e.g., to VOUT) to generate active-high logic signal. |
| C+ / C– (Pins 9, 11) | Flying Capacitor Terminals | Connect external 1µF ceramic flying capacitor; polarity-sensitive - C+ ties to VIN side during charge phase, C– to GND. |
| VOUT (Pin 10) | Regulated Output | Delivers final regulated voltage; capable of sourcing up to 250mA; includes internal reverse-blocking to prevent backfeed when VIN drops below UVLO. |
| GND (Pins 12, 13) | Ground Reference | Pins 12 and 13 (exposed pad) are internally connected and must both be tied to system ground for thermal and electrical performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-inductor design | Eliminates magnetic components, reducing BOM cost, board area, and EMI concerns - ideal for space-constrained automotive and industrial PCBs. |
| Automatic multimode operation | Seamlessly transitions between 2:1, 1:1, and 1:2 charge-pump ratios based on VIN and load - maintains regulation and >80% efficiency across full input range without user intervention. |

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; 4.5V–60V input; 3.3V/5V fixed or adjustable; 500mA output; higher peak efficiency but larger solution size. | Requires external inductor and compensation network; better suited for high-current (>300mA) or high-efficiency-critical designs where board area is less constrained. | Select MAX17521ATP+T when output current exceeds 250mA or when lower output ripple (<10mV) is required despite added component count. |
| LTC3265EDE#TRPBF | Low-noise inverting/positive charge pump; 4.5V–32V input; generates ±5V or +5V/–5V; 100mA per rail; includes LDO post-regulators for ultra-low noise. | Designed for bipolar or dual-rail applications (e.g., op-amp supplies); not a direct replacement for single-rail buck-boost needs. | Choose LTC3265EDE#TRPBF only for dual-output or ultra-low-noise analog biasing; not suitable for single-rail 5V/3.3V housekeeping use cases. |
Compared with MAX17521ATP+T and LTC3265EDE#TRPBF, the LTC3245IDE#TRPBF uniquely delivers 250mA single-rail output in an inductorless 3mm × 4mm DFN with AEC-Q100 qualification - making it optimal for space- and reliability-constrained automotive and industrial 12V/24V-to-3.3V/5V conversion.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC3245IDE#TRPBF?
The LTC3245IDE#TRPBF is rated for operation from –40°C to +125°C junction temperature. This Grade I specification makes it suitable for under-hood automotive applications and industrial environments with elevated ambient temperatures. Its thermal performance relies on proper soldering of the exposed pad (Pin 13) to the PCB ground plane to achieve the specified θJA of 43°C/W.
Does the LTC3245IDE#TRPBF require an inductor?
No, the LTC3245IDE#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. This inductorless architecture reduces EMI, saves board space, and lowers BOM cost compared to inductor-based buck-boost solutions.
How is the output voltage configured on the LTC3245IDE#TRPBF?
The LTC3245IDE#TRPBF supports fixed 3.3V, fixed 5V, or adjustable 2.5V–5V output via SEL1 and SEL2 pins. For fixed outputs, OUTS/ADJ is shorted to VOUT; for adjustable output, a resistor divider connects OUTS/ADJ to GND with VOUT feeding the top of the divider. The internal reference is 1.200V ±24mV, enabling precise programming using standard resistor values.
What protection features does the LTC3245IDE#TRPBF include?
The LTC3245IDE#TRPBF integrates short-circuit current limiting (~900mA), overtemperature shutdown (trip at ~175°C, restart at ~165°C), input undervoltage lockout (2.4V rising), and reverse-current blocking when VIN falls below regulation. These protections ensure robust operation in automotive transients and industrial fault conditions without external circuitry.
Can the LTC3245IDE#TRPBF operate from a 24V industrial supply?
Yes, the LTC3245IDE#TRPBF supports input voltages up to 38V, making it fully compatible with 24V nominal industrial systems, including those experiencing surge events up to 36V. At 24V input, it efficiently delivers 5V/250mA (≈78% typical efficiency) or 3.3V/250mA (≈75% typical efficiency) in 1:1 or 2:1 mode depending on load and output setting.
