Product details
Overview
LTC3309AJV#TRMPBF from Analog Devices is a monolithic synchronous step-down DC/DC converter delivering 6A continuous output at up to 3MHz switching frequency, operating from 2.25V–5.5V input and regulating down to 0.5V with ±1% accuracy. It integrates 31mΩ PMOS and 8mΩ NMOS power switches, features Silent Switcher® architecture for ultralow EMI, and supports forced continuous, pulse-skip, or Burst Mode® operation-ideal for FPGA core supplies in automotive ADAS modules.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3309AJV#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC3309AJV#TRMPBF pinout, LTC3309AJV#TRMPBF application, or LTC3309AJV#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 22ns minimum on-time, AEC-Q100 qualification (–40°C to +150°C), 12-lead 2mm × 2mm LQFN package with exposed PGND pad, and programmable frequency via RT pin.
Technical Context
The LTC3309AJV#TRMPBF uses constant-frequency peak current mode control with internal compensation, enabling fast transient response without external loop components. Its 22ns minimum on-time supports high VIN-to-VOUT ratios (e.g., 5V→1.2V at 2MHz) while maintaining stable regulation under dynamic load steps.
Silent Switcher® architecture employs symmetrical layout and dual SW outputs to cancel magnetic fields, reducing radiated EMI by >30dB compared to conventional buck converters. The device supports clock synchronization (1–3MHz) and auto-adapts slope compensation when synchronized, preserving stability across frequency changes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 2.25V to 5.5V - enables direct regulation from single-cell Li-ion or 3.3V/5V system rails. |
| IOUT Max | 6A continuous - sufficient for high-current FPGA, ASIC, or microprocessor core supplies. |
| fSW Range | 1MHz to 3MHz - allows optimization of size (higher fSW → smaller inductor/capacitor) vs. efficiency. |
| VOUT Accuracy | ±1% over temperature - ensures reliable voltage margining for sensitive digital loads. |
| tON,min | 22ns - supports high step-down ratios (e.g., 5V→0.5V) at 2MHz without pulse skipping. |
| Thermal Rating | Junction temp up to +150°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 for under-hood automotive applications. |
| Quiescent Current | 40µA in Burst Mode sleep - extends battery life in always-on systems like telematics ECUs. |
Pinout & Package
The LTC3309AJV#TRMPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 12-lead 2mm × 2mm × 0.74mm LQFN package with an exposed PGND pad (Pin 13) requiring solder connection to PCB ground plane for optimal thermal performance (θJA = 51°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AGND (1) | Analog ground reference | Remote sense return for FB; must connect directly to output capacitor negative terminal at load to reject PCB IR drop. |
| EN (2) | Enable control input | 400mV precision threshold with hysteresis; enables power-up sequencing with upstream regulators. |
| VIN (3,8) | Main input power supply | Dual pins reduce trace inductance and IR drop; bypass separately to PGND and AGND with low-ESR ceramics. |
| PGND (4,7,13) | Power ground return | Exposed pad (Pin 13) is primary thermal path; requires ≥6 vias to inner/outer ground planes. |
| SW (5,6) | Switch node outputs | Dual SW pins reduce switching loop inductance; must be tied together and connected to inductor with short, wide copper. |
| MODE/SYNC (9) | Mode selection & sync input | Configures operation mode (low = pulse skip, float = forced continuous, high = Burst Mode) or accepts external 1–3MHz clock. |
| RT (10) | Frequency programming | Resistor to AGND sets fSW from 1–3MHz; open or tied to VIN selects default 2MHz oscillator. |
| PGOOD (11) | Power good indicator | Open-drain output asserts high when VOUT is within –2%/+10% window; includes 120µs delay and OV/UV fault detection. |
| FB (12) | Feedback input | Regulates to 0.5V reference; connects to resistor divider from VOUT to AGND for precise output setting. |

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the LTC3309AJV#TRMPBF?
The LTC3309AJV#TRMPBF is rated for operation up to +150°C junction temperature and is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications. This Grade J rating is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and applies specifically to the "J" suffix variant, distinguishing it from lower-temperature grades (E, I, H). Thermal derating above 125°C is required per Analog Devices' reliability guidelines.
Does the LTC3309AJV#TRMPBF support external clock synchronization?
Yes, the LTC3309AJV#TRMPBF supports external clock synchronization via the MODE/SYNC pin, accepting square-wave inputs from 1MHz to 3MHz. During synchronization, the device operates in forced continuous mode and automatically adapts slope compensation to maintain loop stability-enabling deterministic timing in multi-rail systems like 5G baseband units.
What is the purpose of the AGND pin on the LTC3309AJV#TRMPBF?
The AGND pin on the LTC3309AJV#TRMPBF serves as the remote output voltage sense return and analog ground reference for internal circuitry. It must be connected directly to the negative terminal of the output capacitor at the load to reject PCB trace resistance, ensuring accurate regulation. Bypassing AGND to VIN with a small ceramic capacitor minimizes noise coupling into the feedback path.
How does the LTC3309AJV#TRMPBF achieve ultralow EMI performance?
The LTC3309AJV#TRMPBF achieves ultralow EMI through its patented Silent Switcher® architecture, which uses symmetrical power switch layout and dual SW outputs to cancel magnetic field emissions. Measured radiated emissions are >30dB lower than conventional buck converters-verified in CISPR 25 Class 5 testing-eliminating the need for ferrite beads or metal shields in automotive and optical applications.
Can the LTC3309AJV#TRMPBF operate with 100% duty cycle?
Yes, the LTC3309AJV#TRMPBF supports up to 100% duty cycle operation, enabling dropout mode when VIN approaches VOUT. In this condition, the PMOS top switch remains fully on, and output voltage equals VIN minus IOUT × RDS(ON)_PMOS (31mΩ typ). This feature sustains regulation during brownout events in automotive 12V systems with local 5V rails.
