Product details
Overview
LTC3310SEV#PBF from Analog Devices is a monolithic, Silent Switcher 2 synchronous step-down DC/DC converter delivering up to 10A output current from a 2.25V–5.5V input, featuring 500mV feedback reference, 35ns minimum on-time, and ±1% VOUT accuracy with remote sense. It operates in pulse-skip or forced continuous mode and supports clock synchronization for multi-phase POL applications in FPGA core supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3310SEV#PBF datasheet, LTC3310SEV#PBF pinout, LTC3310SEV#PBF application, or LTC3310SEV#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include EMI performance (CISPR 25 Class 5 compliant), thermal monitoring via SSTT pin, programmable switching frequency up to 5MHz, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive use.
Technical Context
The LTC3310SEV#PBF employs constant-frequency peak current mode control with internal hot-loop bypass capacitors for ultralow EMI and high efficiency at up to 5MHz switching. Its dual MOSFET power stage integrates a 4.5mΩ NMOS and 16mΩ PMOS switch, enabling 100% duty cycle operation and safe inductor saturation tolerance during overload.
It features precision enable threshold (400mV), power-good signaling with 97–99% regulation window, die temperature monitoring via SSTT pin (4mV/°C slope), and configurable multiphase paralleling through MODE/SYNC pin-supporting both external clock sync and internal clock output modes.
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. |
| VOUT Range | 0.5V to VIN - enables sub-1V FPGA/ASIC core supplies with adjustable output via FB divider. |
| Output Accuracy | ±1% with remote sense - maintains tight regulation despite PCB ground bounce up to ±100mV. |
| Switching Frequency | Programmable 0.5–5MHz via RT resistor - allows optimization of size vs. efficiency and EMI filtering requirements. |
| Top/Bottom RDS(ON) | 16mΩ / 4.5mΩ - minimizes conduction loss at 10A load, enabling >90% efficiency at 3.3V→1.2V conversion. |
| Shutdown Current | 1µA - ensures ultra-low system standby power in battery-backed or always-on applications. |
| Min On-Time | 35ns - supports high VIN-to-VOUT ratios (e.g., 5V→0.5V) without pulse skipping at light loads. |
Pinout & Package
Thermally enhanced 3mm × 3mm LQFN-18 package with exposed PGND pad (Pin 19) requiring solder connection to PCB ground plane for optimal thermal and EMI performance. θJCbottom = 9°C/W enables high-power density designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN (1) | Enable input with precision threshold | 400mV rising threshold with 60mV hysteresis - enables accurate UVLO-based sequencing without external comparator. |
| AGND (2) | Remote sense ground reference | Kelvin connection point for FB divider low-side - rejects PCB IR drop to maintain ±1% VOUT accuracy at load. |
| VIN (3,4,11,12) | Main input power supply | Four parallel pins reduce trace inductance and distribute high di/dt current - critical for Silent Switcher 2 EMI performance. |
| PGND (5,10,19) | Power ground return path | Three dedicated pins + exposed pad form low-inductance return for bottom switch - essential for thermal dissipation and stability. |
| SW (6–9) | Switch node output | Four parallel SW pins connect directly to inductor - minimize loop area and parasitic inductance for fast edge control. |
| MODE/SYNC (13) | Multi-phase sync interface | Configurable as clock input (sync), clock output (master), or PWM mode select - enables seamless 2+ phase interleaving. |
| PGOOD (14) | Power-good open-drain output | Asserts when VOUT is within 97–99% of target - provides system-level fault detection with 100µs delay to reject transients. |
| RT (15) | Oscillator frequency set | Resistor-to-AGND sets fSW from 0.5–5MHz - enables EMI spread-spectrum tuning and layout-driven frequency selection. |
| SSTT (16) | Soft-start/track/temp monitor | 10µA current source for soft-start timing; voltage reflects die temp (4mV/°C) after startup - enables thermal derating and sequencing. |
| ITH (17) | Current limit compensation node | Connects external RC network to AGND - sets loop bandwidth and peak current limit response time. |
| FB/VOUT (18) | Feedback input or fixed 1V output | Regulates to 500mV (LTC3310S) or fixed 1.0V (LTC3310S-1) - Pin 18 functions as FB for adjustable version, VOUT for fixed version. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPM3695-100 from Monolithic Power Systems | Fixed 10A rating, 2.7–16V input, no remote sense, integrated inductor - lacks SSTT temp monitoring and Silent Switcher EMI performance. | Targeted at simpler, lower-cost consumer applications where thermal telemetry and CISPR 25 compliance are not required. | Select when board space is extremely constrained and integrated inductor simplifies layout - avoid for automotive or industrial EMI-sensitive environments. |
| TPS546D24A from Texas Instruments | 12A rating, 3–18V input, PMBus interface, digital loop compensation - adds telemetry and configurability but requires external MOSFETs and larger footprint. | Designed for server VR13/VR14 compliance with dynamic voltage scaling and telemetry logging requirements. | Choose for datacenter or telecom systems needing PMBus-based margining, fault logging, and adaptive loop tuning - not suitable for cost-sensitive automotive designs. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LTC3310SEV#PBF?
The LTC3310SEV#PBF delivers up to 10A continuous output current under typical thermal conditions (θJA = 42°C/W, 2-layer PCB). Its 4.5mΩ NMOS and 16mΩ PMOS switches, combined with the 3mm × 3mm LQFN package's 9°C/W θJCbottom, enable this rating without external heatsinking in forced-air environments. Derating is required above 85°C ambient or with reduced copper area.
Does the LTC3310SEV#PBF support remote voltage sensing?
Yes, the LTC3310SEV#PBF supports true remote voltage sensing via its dedicated AGND pin (Pin 2), which serves as the Kelvin return for the FB divider's low-side resistor. This configuration compensates for up to ±100mV PCB ground offset, ensuring ±1% output voltage accuracy at the load - critical for high-current FPGA and ASIC core supplies.
How does the MODE/SYNC pin function in the LTC3310SEV#PBF?
The MODE/SYNC pin (Pin 13) in the LTC3310SEV#PBF serves three roles: (1) accepts external clock for synchronization, (2) outputs clock signal when configured as master in multi-phase setups, and (3) selects PWM mode (pulse-skip vs. forced continuous) based on DC voltage level. Internal 200kΩ pull-up enables default 2MHz operation when left floating.
What thermal protection features does the LTC3310SEV#PBF include?
The LTC3310SEV#PBF includes overtemperature protection that disables switching when junction temperature exceeds ~150°C, plus a die temperature monitor accessible via the SSTT pin (4mV/°C slope). The SSTT voltage can be read externally to implement closed-loop thermal management - e.g., reducing fan speed or throttling downstream logic when die temp rises.
Is the LTC3310SEV#PBF qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the LTC3310SEV#PBF is AEC-Q100 qualified for Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C junction temperature) and manufactured under TS 16949-certified processes. Its Silent Switcher 2 architecture meets CISPR 25 Class 5 radiated emissions limits, making it suitable for automotive infotainment, ADAS camera modules, and gateway ECUs without additional EMI filtering.
