Product details
Overview
LTC3308BJV#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a monolithic synchronous step-down DC/DC converter delivering up to 4A output at 500mV–VIN, operating from 2.25V–5.5V input with 6.6MHz default switching frequency, 22ns minimum on-time, and ±1% VFB accuracy - deployed in automotive power rails, FPGA core supplies, and compact POL systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3308BJV#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3308BJV#TRPBF pinout, LTC3308BJV#TRPBF application, or LTC3308BJV#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualified –40°C to +150°C junction temperature rating, Silent Switcher® EMI reduction, forced continuous/pulse-skipping/Burst Mode operation, and 2mm × 2mm LQFN thermal performance.
Technical Context
The LTC3308BJV#TRPBF uses constant-frequency peak current mode control with internal compensation, supporting programmable 3MHz–10MHz switching via RT resistor or external clock synchronization on MODE/SYNC. Its architecture enables fast transient response and stable regulation down to 500mV output.
It integrates 31mΩ PMOS and 8mΩ NMOS power switches, delivers up to 100% duty cycle for low-dropout operation, and features dual current limiting (6.4A peak, 5.2A valley), output overvoltage protection (110% VOUT), and thermal shutdown at 165°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 2.25V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, USB PD, and 3.3V/5V system rails without pre-regulation. |
| VOUT Range | 0.5V to VIN - enables direct core supply for modern SoCs, FPGAs, and ASICs requiring sub-1V logic rails. |
| Max Output Current | 4A continuous - sustained delivery under thermal limits in 2mm × 2mm LQFN with exposed PGND pad. |
| Switching Frequency | 3MHz to 10MHz (programmable) - allows ultra-small 150nH inductors and 0201/0402 capacitors for minimal PCB footprint. |
| Feedback Accuracy | ±1% over temperature - ensures tight output regulation across automotive and industrial ambient ranges. |
| Quiescent Current | 40µA in Burst Mode sleep - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and portable instrumentation. |
| Min On-Time | 22ns - enables high step-down ratios (e.g., 5.5V → 0.6V at 6.6MHz) without pulse skipping instability. |
| Junction Temp Range | –40°C to +150°C - AEC-Q100 qualified for under-hood automotive, motor control, and high-temp industrial use. |
Pinout & Package
The LTC3308BJV#TRPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 12-lead 2mm × 2mm × 0.74mm LQFN package with exposed PGND pad (Pin 13), optimized for low θJA = 51°C/W and high-power density layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AGND (1) | Analog ground reference | Remote output voltage sense return; must connect directly to output capacitor negative terminal and serve as FB/RT reference. |
| EN (2) | Enable control input | 400mV precision threshold with hysteresis; enables sequencing from other regulators or microcontroller GPIO. |
| VIN (3,8) | Main power input | Dual high-current paths for internal circuitry and top switch; requires parallel low-ESR ceramic bypassing to PGND/AGND. |
| PGND (4,7,13) | Power ground return | Primary return for bottom switch; exposed pad (Pin 13) must be soldered to large PCB ground plane with multiple vias. |
| SW (5,6) | Switch node | High dv/dt node connecting internal MOSFETs to external inductor; requires short, wide copper trace to minimize ringing. |
| MODE/SYNC (9) | Mode selection & sync input | Configures Burst Mode (high), pulse-skipping (low), forced continuous (float), or external clock sync (3–10MHz square wave). |
| RT (10) | Frequency programming | Resistor-to-AGND sets switching frequency from 3–10MHz; open or tied to VIN selects default 6.6MHz. |
| PGOOD (11) | Power good indicator | Open-drain output asserting high when VOUT is within –2%/+10% of target; includes 120µs delay and OV/UV fault reporting. |
| FB (12) | Feedback input | Regulates VFB to 500mV; connects to resistor divider from VOUT to AGND to set output voltage precisely. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3307EV#TRPBF | 3A rated, same 2mm × 2mm LQFN package, 3MHz–6MHz frequency range, lower max current and higher RDS(ON). | Targeted at lower-power microcontrollers and peripherals where 3A suffices and cost sensitivity outweighs headroom needs. | Select when design load stays ≤3A and thermal margin allows relaxed derating; not suitable for 4A FPGA cores. |
| LTC3309HV#TRPBF | 6A rated, identical pinout and feature set, but rated for –40°C to +150°C with higher current capability and slightly larger thermal footprint. | Used in high-power compute modules, GPU auxiliary rails, or redundant power paths where >4A headroom is required. | Choose for future-proofing or parallel operation; shares layout but requires larger inductor and input capacitance. |

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the LTC3308BJV#TRPBF?
The LTC3308BJV#TRPBF is rated for operation up to +150°C junction temperature and is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications. This Grade J rating ensures guaranteed performance and reliability in under-hood environments, motor control enclosures, and other high-temperature industrial settings where standard commercial or industrial grade parts would fail.
Does the LTC3308BJV#TRPBF require external compensation components?
No, the LTC3308BJV#TRPBF features fully internal compensation - no external Type II or Type III compensation network is needed. Its peak current mode architecture with built-in slope compensation and fixed compensation ensures stable operation across all loads and input/output combinations when using recommended external components like the 150nH inductor and 4.7µF input capacitors.
How does the MODE/SYNC pin configure operating modes on the LTC3308BJV#TRPBF?
The MODE/SYNC pin on the LTC3308BJV#TRPBF selects three distinct modes: tie to GND for pulse-skipping, tie to VIN for Burst Mode® (40µA IQ), or leave floating for forced continuous conduction. It also accepts 3MHz–10MHz external square-wave clocks for synchronization - enabling noise-sensitive systems to align switching edges and eliminate beat frequencies.
Can the LTC3308BJV#TRPBF operate with an input voltage as low as 2.25V?
Yes, the LTC3308BJV#TRPBF is fully specified to operate from 2.25V to 5.5V input. At 2.25V, it maintains regulation down to 500mV output with full 4A capability, though RDS(ON) increases slightly - requiring careful thermal design and validation per the datasheet's high-temperature derating curves and junction temperature calculation (TJ = TA + PD × θJA).
What protection features are integrated into the LTC3308BJV#TRPBF?
The LTC3308BJV#TRPBF integrates output overvoltage protection (110% VOUT trip), short-circuit protection via valley current limiting (5.2A), thermal shutdown at ~165°C, input UVLO with hysteresis, and robust SW node leakage handling. Its PGOOD pin provides fault signaling for undervoltage, overvoltage, and thermal events - enabling system-level monitoring and safe power sequencing.
