Product details
Overview
LTC3309BHV#TRMPBF from Analog Devices is a monolithic synchronous step-down DC/DC converter delivering up to 6A output current, operating from 2.25V–5.5V input and regulating down to 0.5V with ±1% accuracy. It features Silent Switcher architecture for ultralow EMI, 22ns minimum on-time for fast transient response, and supports forced continuous, pulse-skip, or low-ripple Burst Mode operation - ideal for space-constrained, noise-sensitive automotive power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3309BHV#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC3309BHV#TRMPBF pinout, LTC3309BHV#TRMPBF application, or LTC3309BHV#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection factors include its 2mm × 2mm LQFN package with exposed PGND pad, AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive use, 3MHz–10MHz programmable switching frequency, and integrated overvoltage, short-circuit, and thermal protection.
Technical Context
The LTC3309BHV#TRMPBF uses constant-frequency peak current mode control with internal compensation, enabling stable regulation without external loop components. Its 22ns minimum on-time and 100% duty cycle capability support high VIN-to-VOUT ratios and low-dropout operation under heavy load.
Silent Switcher architecture employs symmetrical layout and integrated bypass capacitors to suppress common-mode EMI, while the MODE/SYNC pin enables dynamic selection among three operating modes - forced continuous (low ripple), pulse skip (low noise), or Burst Mode (40µA IQ at light load) - each with distinct trade-offs in efficiency, noise, and transient response.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 2.25V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, USB PD, and automotive 3.3V/5V rails with robust UVLO hysteresis. |
| IOUT Max | 6A continuous - sufficient for FPGA core, ASIC I/O, or microprocessor VDD supplies in compact POL applications. |
| VOUT Accuracy | ±1% over temperature - ensures stable logic-level compliance for 0.5V–5.5V outputs without calibration. |
| Switching Frequency | 3MHz–10MHz (programmable via RT or SYNC) - enables sub-1mm inductors and rapid load-step response. |
| Min On-Time | 22ns - allows high-frequency operation even at low VOUT/VIN ratios (e.g., 1.8V out from 2.5V in). |
| Thermal Rating | Junction temp range –40°C to +150°C - qualified for under-hood automotive environments per AEC-Q100 Grade H. |
| Quiescent Current | 40µA in Burst Mode sleep - extends battery runtime in always-on vehicle subsystems. |
Pinout & Package
The LTC3309BHV#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 performance (θJA = 51°C/W, θJB = 12°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AGND (1) | Analog ground reference | Remote output voltage sense return; must connect directly to output capacitor negative terminal to minimize load regulation error. |
| EN (2) | Enable control input | 400mV precision threshold with hysteresis; enables power-up sequencing when driven by upstream regulator feedback divider. |
| VIN (3, 8) | Main input power supply | Dual pins reduce IR drop and inductance; require parallel wide traces and local ceramic bypass to AGND/PGND. |
| PGND (4, 7, 13) | Power ground return | Primary return path for bottom switch; exposed pad (Pin 13) is mandatory thermal and electrical connection to PCB ground plane. |
| SW (5, 6) | Switch node | High dv/dt node connecting internal FETs to external inductor; must be routed as short/wide copper to minimize EMI and ringing. |
| MODE/SYNC (9) | Mode selection & clock sync | Configures operation mode (pulse skip/forced continuous/Burst) or accepts 3–10MHz external clock for EMI reduction via synchronization. |
| 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 regulation; includes 120µs delay and OV/UV fault detection. |
| FB (12) | Feedback input | Regulates VOUT by sensing 0.5V reference; connects to resistor divider between VOUT and AGND for precise output setting. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS6286418RTER | 4A max output, 2.7V–6V input, 1.8V fixed output; no MODE/SYNC pin; lower thermal rating (–40°C to +125°C). | Not AEC-Q100 qualified; lacks Burst Mode and external sync capability - unsuitable for automotive EMI-critical or ultra-low-IQ designs. | Select only for non-automotive industrial applications where 4A suffices and EMI is less constrained. |
| MAX20404ATCA/VY+ | 6A output, 2.5V–5.5V input, 0.5V–5.5V adjustable; includes spread-spectrum clocking but no Silent Switcher; 3mm × 3mm package. | Higher EMI emissions require additional filtering; larger footprint increases board cost - less optimal for space-limited automotive modules. | Consider when spread-spectrum is preferred over Silent Switcher, or when pin compatibility with MAX20404-based designs is required. |
Compared with TPS6286418RTER and MAX20404ATCA/VY+, the LTC3309BHV#TRMPBF uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade H qualification, 2mm × 2mm size, Silent Switcher EMI reduction, and 40µA Burst Mode IQ - making it the only choice for compact, high-reliability automotive POL where thermal, noise, and footprint are simultaneously constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the LTC3309BHV#TRMPBF?
The LTC3309BHV#TRMPBF is rated for operation from –40°C to +150°C junction temperature and is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive Grade H applications. Thermal shutdown activates at approximately 165°C, with recovery at ~160°C. Its 2mm × 2mm LQFN package with exposed PGND pad achieves θJB = 12°C/W, enabling reliable operation in under-hood environments when properly mounted to a thermal PCB plane.
Does the LTC3309BHV#TRMPBF support external clock synchronization?
Yes, the LTC3309BHV#TRMPBF supports external clock synchronization via its MODE/SYNC pin, accepting square-wave inputs from 3MHz to 10MHz with ≥40ns high/low pulse widths and 0.4V/1.2V logic thresholds. During synchronization, the device operates in forced continuous mode with automatic slope compensation adaptation - a key feature for reducing beat frequencies in multi-rail automotive systems.
How does the LTC3309BHV#TRMPBF achieve ultralow EMI emissions?
The LTC3309BHV#TRMPBF achieves ultralow EMI through Analog Devices' patented Silent Switcher architecture, which integrates symmetrical hot-loop layout, dual independent input paths, and integrated bypass capacitors to cancel magnetic field coupling. This reduces peak radiated emissions by >20dB compared to conventional buck converters - enabling compliance with CISPR 25 Class 5 without external EMI filters or shielding.
What protection features are integrated into the LTC3309BHV#TRMPBF?
The LTC3309BHV#TRMPBF integrates output overvoltage protection (110% threshold), short-circuit protection via valley-current limiting (IVALLEYMAX = 7.8A), thermal shutdown (165°C trip), input UVLO with hysteresis, and PGOOD fault reporting with 120µs delay. These protections operate autonomously without external components, ensuring robust operation in automotive transients and fault conditions.
Can the LTC3309BHV#TRMPBF operate with a 2.25V input supply?
Yes, the LTC3309BHV#TRMPBF is fully specified to operate from 2.25V to 5.5V input. At 2.25V, its 22ns minimum on-time and 100% duty cycle capability allow regulation of outputs as low as 0.5V. However, RDS(ON) of the internal PMOS increases at low VIN, so thermal design must account for higher conduction losses - verified in the datasheet's performance curves at VIN = 2.25V.
