Product details
Overview
LTC3310SIV#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 automotive-grade temperature range (–40°C to 125°C) and targets high-density POL applications such as FPGA core supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3310SIV#PBF datasheet, LTC3310SIV#PBF pinout, LTC3310SIV#PBF application, or LTC3310SIV#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.5mΩ NMOS / 16mΩ PMOS RDS(ON), programmable 0.5–5MHz switching frequency, integrated hot-loop bypass capacitors for EMI reduction, and support for multi-phase paralleling in high-power systems.
Technical Context
The LTC3310SIV#PBF employs constant-frequency peak current mode control with internal error amplifier transconductance of 400µS and 100% duty cycle capability for low-dropout operation. Its Silent Switcher 2 architecture integrates VIN-to-PGND and VIN-to-AGND bypass capacitors to minimize high-di/dt loop area and suppress radiated EMI without external components.
It supports three operating modes via MODE/SYNC pin: pulse-skipping for light-load efficiency, forced continuous conduction for low-noise regulation, and external clock synchronization with 0.5–2.25MHz input range. The device includes active voltage positioning only in -1 variants; LTC3310SIV#PBF uses adjustable output via external FB divider and does not implement AVP.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 2.25V to 5.5V - enables direct regulation from single-cell Li-ion, USB PD, or intermediate bus rails without pre-regulation. |
| VOUT Range | 0.5V to VIN - supports sub-1V FPGA/ASIC core supplies with precise 500mV reference and ±1% accuracy over temp/load. |
| Max Output Current | 10A - delivered continuously in thermally enhanced 3mm × 3mm LQFN package with θJCbottom = 9°C/W. |
| Switching Frequency | Programmable 0.5–5MHz via RT resistor - allows optimization of size vs. efficiency; default 2MHz at RT = 274kΩ. |
| Top/Bottom RDS(ON) | 4.5mΩ NMOS / 16mΩ PMOS - minimizes conduction loss at high load; verified across –40°C to 125°C junction range. |
| Min On-Time | 35ns - enables high step-down ratios (e.g., 5V→0.5V at 2MHz) without pulse skipping at light loads. |
| Shutdown Current | 1µA - ensures ultra-low system standby power in battery-backed or always-on applications. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 18-lead 3mm × 3mm LQFN with exposed PGND pad (Pin 19), rated for –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature. Thermal resistance θJCbottom = 9°C/W; requires soldering exposed pad to PCB ground plane with ≥6 thermal vias.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN (1) | Enable input with precision threshold | 400mV rising threshold with 60mV hysteresis; enables clean startup/shutdown sequencing and UVLO-independent control. |
| AGND (2) | Remote sense ground reference | Kelvin connection point for FB divider low-side; compensates for up to ±100mV PCB ground offset between IC and load. |
| VIN (3,4,11,12) | Main input power supply | Four parallel pins reduce trace inductance; must be shorted and bypassed locally to PGND with low-ESR ceramics. |
| PGND (5,10,19) | Power ground return path | Primary thermal path; Pin 19 is exposed pad - mandatory solder connection to PCB ground plane for thermal and EMI performance. |
| SW (6–9) | Switch node outputs | Four paralleled SW pins drive external inductor; require short, wide copper traces to minimize ringing and EMI. |
| MODE/SYNC (13) | Mode selection & clock interface | Configures pulse-skip/forced-CCM or synchronizes to external 0.5–2.25MHz clock; also outputs synchronized clock signal. |
| PGOOD (14) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Asserts high when VOUT is within 97–99% of regulation; 100µs delay filters transient dips; pulls low during fault/shutdown. |
| RT (15) | Oscillator frequency programming | Resistor to AGND sets fSW from 0.5–5MHz; also used for phase alignment in multi-phase configurations. |
| SSTT (16) | Soft-start, tracking, temperature monitor | 10µA current charges external capacitor for controlled VOUT ramp; transitions to die temperature readout (4mV/°C) post-startup. |
| ITH (17) | Current limit and loop compensation | Internal node for error amplifier output; connects to AGND via RC network to stabilize voltage loop and set current limit slope. |
| FB (18) | Feedback input for adjustable VOUT | Regulated to 500mV; connects to resistive divider from VOUT; supports remote sensing via AGND-referenced low-side resistor. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP2964GQ-Z (Monolithic Power) | 4.5V–16V input, 6A max, 500kHz–1.1MHz fixed freq, no integrated hot-loop caps, QFN-14 | Higher VIN range but lower current; lacks Silent Switcher EMI suppression and remote sense; suited for non-EMI-critical industrial supplies. | Select MP2964GQ-Z only if input exceeds 5.5V or board space permits larger inductors; avoid where CISPR25 compliance or sub-1V accuracy is required. |
| TPS546D24RQF (Texas Instruments) | 4.5V–18V input, 10A, 300kHz–1.5MHz, PMBus interface, 40-pin QFN, no integrated bypass caps | Supports digital control and telemetry but requires external EMI filtering; larger footprint and higher BOM count than LTC3310SIV#PBF. | Choose TPS546D24RQF when telemetry, margining, or dynamic voltage scaling via PMBus is essential; LTC3310SIV#PBF preferred for analog simplicity and EMI-sensitive layouts. |
Compared with MP2964GQ-Z and TPS546D24RQF, the LTC3310SIV#PBF delivers superior EMI performance via integrated Silent Switcher 2 capacitors, tighter output accuracy (±1% vs. ±1.5%), and smaller 3mm × 3mm footprint - making it optimal for space-constrained, noise-sensitive POL applications where analog control suffices.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LTC3310SIV#PBF under continuous operation?
The LTC3310SIV#PBF delivers up to 10A of continuous output current when implemented with proper thermal design - including soldering the exposed PGND pad to a 4-layer PCB with ≥6 thermal vias and using low-ESR input/output capacitors. Derating applies above 85°C ambient; full 10A is validated at 125°C junction temperature per datasheet Rev. F specifications.
Does the LTC3310SIV#PBF support remote voltage sensing, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the LTC3310SIV#PBF supports true remote voltage sensing via its dedicated AGND pin (Pin 2). The low-side resistor of the FB divider must connect directly to AGND - not PGND - and AGND should be routed as a Kelvin sense line to the load's ground return point. This compensates for up to ±100mV PCB ground potential difference, ensuring ±1% VOUT accuracy at the load.
How does the Silent Switcher 2 architecture in the LTC3310SIV#PBF reduce EMI compared to standard buck converters?
The LTC3310SIV#PBF integrates internal bypass capacitors between VIN–PGND and VIN–AGND, minimizing high-di/dt loop area and eliminating discrete ceramic placement errors. Combined with symmetrical SW pin layout and matched internal switch routing, this achieves >30dB lower radiated emissions than Silent Switcher 1 parts - meeting CISPR25 Class 5 limits without external EMI filters in typical 2-layer demo layouts.
Can the LTC3310SIV#PBF be synchronized to an external clock, and what is the supported frequency range?
Yes, the LTC3310SIV#PBF supports external clock synchronization via the MODE/SYNC pin (Pin 13). It accepts square-wave inputs from 0.5MHz to 2.25MHz, locking its internal oscillator via PLL. During sync, it operates in pulse-skip mode and automatically adapts slope compensation. The pin also outputs a synchronized clock signal for multi-phase coordination.
What thermal protection features are built into the LTC3310SIV#PBF?
The LTC3310SIV#PBF includes overtemperature protection that activates above 150°C junction temperature, temporarily halting switching to prevent damage. It also provides real-time die temperature monitoring via the SSTT pin (4mV/°C output), enabling firmware-based thermal throttling. Thermal shutdown is latched and requires EN cycling to reset.
