Product details
Overview
LTC3309BEV#TRMPBF from Analog Devices is a monolithic synchronous step-down DC/DC converter delivering up to 6A output at 1.8V from 2.5V–5.5V input, featuring 6.6MHz default switching frequency, 22ns minimum on-time, ±1% VFB accuracy, and Silent Switcher architecture for ultralow EMI in optical networking power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3309BEV#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC3309BEV#TRMPBF pinout, LTC3309BEV#TRMPBF application, or LTC3309BEV#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2mm × 2mm LQFN package with exposed PGND pad, forced continuous/pulse-skip/Burst Mode operation, 0.5V feedback reference, and AEC-Q100-qualified temperature range (–40°C to +125°C).
Technical Context
The LTC3309BEV#TRMPBF 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 22ns minimum on-time enables high VIN/VOUT ratios while maintaining regulation down to 0.5V output.
Silent Switcher architecture integrates split-power-path layout and integrated bypass capacitors to suppress common-mode EMI; Burst Mode delivers 40µA quiescent current with low-output-ripple regulation, and dual current limiting (9.6A peak, 7.8A valley) ensures robust overload handling without external sensing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 2.25V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, USB PD, and intermediate bus rails without pre-regulation |
| IOUT Max | 6A continuous - sufficient for FPGA core, ASIC, or µP VDD rails with margin |
| fSW Range | 3MHz to 10MHz - enables sub-1mm height inductors and compact POL designs |
| VFB Accuracy | ±1% over temperature - ensures stable 0.5V reference for precise output voltage setting |
| tON,min | 22ns - allows 1.8V output from 5.5V input at 6.6MHz without pulse skipping |
| Thermal Range | –40°C to +125°C junction - qualified for automotive infotainment and industrial edge compute |
| Quiescent Current | 40µA in Burst Mode - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and IoT endpoints |
Pinout & Package
The LTC3309BEV#TRMPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 12-lead 2mm × 2mm × 0.74mm LQFN package with exposed PGND pad (Pin 13), requiring soldering to PCB ground plane for optimal thermal resistance (θJA = 51°C/W) and EMI suppression.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AGND (1) | Analog ground reference | Remote sense return for FB and RT; must connect directly to output capacitor negative terminal at load |
| EN (2) | Enable control input | 400mV precision threshold with hysteresis; enables event-driven power sequencing |
| VIN (3,8) | Main power input | Dual pins reduce IR drop and inductance; require parallel low-ESR ceramic bypass to PGND/AGND |
| PGND (4,7,13) | Power ground return | Exposed pad (Pin 13) is primary thermal path and low-inductance return for bottom switch |
| SW (5,6) | Switch node | Dual pins minimize trace inductance to inductor; must be short, wide, and symmetric |
| MODE/SYNC (9) | Mode selection & clock sync | Configures Burst/Pulse Skip/Forced Continuous modes or accepts 3–10MHz external clock |
| RT (10) | Frequency programming | Resistor-to-AGND sets fSW from 3–10MHz; open or tied to VIN selects 6.6MHz default |
| PGOOD (11) | Power status indicator | Open-drain output with –2%/+10% window, 120µs delay, and fault pull-down during UVLO/shutdown |
| FB (12) | Feedback input | Regulates to 0.5V; connects to resistor divider between VOUT and AGND for output voltage programming |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS546B24A | 40V max VIN, 10A output, PMBus interface, larger 4mm × 4mm QFN | Targeted at higher-input-voltage server VRMs; lacks Silent Switcher EMI performance | Select when digital control, telemetry, or >5.5V input is required; not suitable for space-constrained EMI-critical designs |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LTC3309BEV#TRMPBF?
The LTC3309BEV#TRMPBF delivers up to 6A continuous output current under typical thermal conditions with adequate PCB copper area. Its peak current limit is 9.6A (typical), and valley current limit is 7.8A, enabling robust overload tolerance. Derating applies above +85°C ambient; full 6A is guaranteed at junction temperatures ≤125°C with proper thermal design using the exposed PGND pad.
How does the MODE/SYNC pin configure operating modes on the LTC3309BEV#TRMPBF?
The MODE/SYNC pin on the LTC3309BEV#TRMPBF selects three distinct modes: grounding enables Pulse Skip mode for low-noise operation; tying to VIN activates low-ripple Burst Mode with 40µA quiescent current; floating enables Forced Continuous mode for fixed-frequency, minimal-output-ripple performance. When driven by an external 3–10MHz square wave, it synchronizes the internal oscillator while enforcing Forced Continuous mode.
Can the LTC3309BEV#TRMPBF operate with a 2.25V input supply?
Yes, the LTC3309BEV#TRMPBF operates from 2.25V to 5.5V input. At 2.25V, its minimum regulated output is 0.5V, and efficiency remains >85% at 1.8V/3A with 6.6MHz switching. However, RDS(ON) increases at low VIN, so thermal design must account for higher conduction losses-verified in the datasheet's "Switch On Resistance" curves across temperature and input voltage.
What is the purpose of the AGND pin on the LTC3309BEV#TRMPBF?
The AGND pin on the LTC3309BEV#TRMPBF serves as the remote ground sense reference for the FB and RT circuits and as the analog ground for internal error amplifiers and references. It must be connected directly to the output capacitor's negative terminal at the load-not to PGND-to enable accurate remote sensing and minimize regulation error from PCB trace IR drops.
Does the LTC3309BEV#TRMPBF support output voltage synchronization to an external clock?
No, the LTC3309BEV#TRMPBF does not synchronize output voltage phase; it synchronizes only the internal switching frequency via the MODE/SYNC pin. The device maintains regulation independently using peak current mode control. External clock synchronization locks the SW node timing to the input clock edge but does not alter feedback loop behavior or output voltage tracking-only switching frequency and EMI spectral placement.
