Product details
Overview
LTC3310HV#PBF from Analog Devices is a high-reliability, monolithic synchronous step-down DC/DC converter rated for 10A output current, operating from 2.25V to 5.5V input and delivering adjustable 0.5V–VIN output with ±1% accuracy using remote sense. It employs Silent Switcher 2 architecture with integrated hot-loop bypass capacitors, supports up to 5MHz switching frequency, and features 100% duty cycle operation for low-dropout performance in automotive power rail applications.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3310HV#PBF datasheet, LTC3310HV#PBF pinout, LTC3310HV#PBF application, or LTC3310HV#PBF equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context on its AEC-Q100 qualified 150°C junction temperature operation, peak current mode control, programmable soft-start, die temperature monitoring, and multi-phase paralleling capability - all critical for high-density POL designs in servers, telecom, and automotive ECUs.
Technical Context
The LTC3310HV#PBF implements constant-frequency peak current mode control with a 500mV internal reference and 35ns minimum on-time, enabling stable regulation at ultra-low output voltages (e.g., 0.5V) and fast transient response under dynamic load steps. Its error amplifier transconductance is 400µS (LTC3310S variant), and it supports active voltage positioning only in fixed-output variants (LTC3310-1/HV-1), not in the adjustable LTC3310HV#PBF.
Silent Switcher 2 architecture integrates VIN-to-PGND and VIN-to-AGND bypass capacitors to minimize EMI without external ceramic placement constraints. The device tolerates inductor saturation during overload via valley-current limiting (IVALLEYMAX = 10–14A), and thermal shutdown activates above 150°C junction temperature - consistent with its H-grade –40°C to 150°C operating range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 2.25V to 5.5V - supports wide-input battery and intermediate bus systems including 3.3V and 5V rails. |
| VOUT Range | 0.5V to VIN - enables direct core supply for modern FPGAs, ASICs, and µPs requiring sub-1V operation. |
| Output Accuracy | ±1% with remote sense - ensures tight regulation despite PCB trace resistance between IC and load. |
| Switching Frequency | Programmable 0.5MHz to 5MHz via RT resistor - allows optimization of size (higher fSW) vs. efficiency (lower fSW). |
| Top/Bottom RDS(ON) | 16mΩ / 4.5mΩ - enables high efficiency (>90% at 10A, 3.3V→1.2V) and low thermal dissipation. |
| Junction Temp Range | –40°C to +150°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade H for under-hood automotive and industrial environments. |
| Shutdown Current | 1µA - minimizes standby power loss in always-on systems such as telematics and ADAS modules. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 18-lead 3mm × 3mm LQFN with exposed PGND pad (Pin 19), θJCbottom = 9°C/W, thermally enhanced for high-power density layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN (1) | Enable input with precision threshold | 400mV rising threshold with 60mV hysteresis - enables accurate power sequencing and brown-out protection. |
| AGND (2) | Remote sense ground reference | Kelvin connection point for feedback divider - compensates for up to ±100mV ground offset between IC and load. |
| VIN (3,4,11,12) | Main input power supply | Four parallel pins reduce IR drop and improve thermal spreading; must be shorted and locally bypassed to PGND. |
| PGND (5,10,19) | Power ground return path | Exposed pad (Pin 19) is PGND - requires soldering to large PCB ground plane with multiple vias for thermal and EMI control. |
| SW (6–9) | Switch node outputs | Four paralleled SW pins connect directly to inductor - minimize loop inductance and EMI in high-dI/dt paths. |
| MODE/SYNC (13) | Multi-phase sync or mode selection | Accepts external clock (0.5–2.25MHz) or configures pulse-skip/forced continuous mode - no external pull-up required. |
| PGOOD (14) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Asserts after 100µs delay when VOUT reaches 97–99% of target - enables safe system power sequencing. |
| RT (15) | Oscillator frequency programming | Resistor to AGND sets fSW; RT = 274kΩ yields 2MHz typical - enables precise timing control and phase alignment. |
| SSTT (16) | Soft-start, tracking, temp monitor | 10µA current source for soft-start capacitor; transitions to 4mV/°C temp sensing post-startup - replaces discrete thermal sensor. |
| ITH (17) | Current limit and loop compensation | Internal node for error amplifier output - connects to AGND via RC network to stabilize control loop across load conditions. |
| FB (18) | Feedback voltage input | Regulated to 500mV - used with external resistor divider to set VOUT; supports remote sensing via AGND connection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| Configurable multi-phase paralleling | MODE/SYNC pin supports master-slave synchronization of up to 4 converters - scales output current to 40A without external controllers. |
| Dual overcurrent protection | Peak switch current limit (14.5–18.5A) + valley current limit (10–14A) - prevents MOSFET failure during short-circuit and inductor saturation events. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LTC3310HV#PBF?
The LTC3310HV#PBF is rated for continuous 10A output current under specified thermal conditions. Its top switch current limit is 14.5–18.5A and bottom switch valley limit is 10–14A, allowing safe operation into short-circuit and overload conditions. Derating may be required above 85°C ambient depending on PCB copper area and airflow - refer to the thermal design guidelines in the LTC3310HV#PBF datasheet for layout-dependent current limits.
Does the LTC3310HV#PBF support remote voltage sensing?
Yes, the LTC3310HV#PBF supports true remote voltage sensing via its dedicated AGND pin, which serves as the Kelvin return for the FB resistive divider. This allows compensation for up to ±100mV ground potential difference between the IC's local ground and the load, ensuring ±1% output accuracy even with significant PCB trace resistance - a key requirement for high-current, low-voltage FPGA and ASIC core supplies.
How does the Silent Switcher 2 architecture in the LTC3310HV#PBF reduce EMI?
The LTC3310HV#PBF integrates internal bypass capacitors between VIN–PGND and VIN–AGND, forming compact, low-inductance hot loops that minimize radiated emissions. Combined with symmetrical SW pin layout and optimized internal routing, this achieves >30dB lower peak radiated EMI than first-generation Silent Switcher devices - enabling compliance with CISPR 25 Class 5 without external EMI filters in most automotive implementations.
Can the LTC3310HV#PBF be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, the MODE/SYNC pin of the LTC3310HV#PBF accepts an external square-wave clock (0.5–2.25MHz) to synchronize switching frequency. Upon detection, an internal PLL locks the top switch turn-on edge to the rising edge of the external signal. The device automatically adapts slope compensation and operates in pulse-skip mode during sync - essential for noise-sensitive systems like RF transceivers and high-speed ADCs.
What is the purpose of the SSTT pin on the LTC3310HV#PBF?
The SSTT pin on the LTC3310HV#PBF serves three functions: (1) soft-start timing via 10µA current source charging an external capacitor; (2) voltage tracking during startup to coordinate with other rails; and (3) post-startup die temperature monitoring at 4mV/°C. During faults or shutdown, SSTT is pulled low to initiate recovery - making it a multifunction node that replaces discrete sequencing and thermal sensors in compact designs.
