Product details
Overview
LTC3311JV-0.85#TRMPBF from Analog Devices is a monolithic, Silent Switcher® synchronous step-down DC/DC converter delivering up to 12.5A output current from 2.25V–5.5V input, with fixed 0.85V output, ±1% accuracy over temperature and load, and 35ns minimum on-time. It targets FPGA, ASIC, and µP core power supplies requiring low-noise, high-efficiency regulation in space-constrained automotive and industrial systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3311JV-0.85#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC3311JV-0.85#TRMPBF pinout, LTC3311JV-0.85#TRMPBF application, or LTC3311JV-0.85#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.85V fixed output with active voltage positioning (2.0 mV/A), 5MHz programmable switching frequency, thermal shutdown with die temperature monitor, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive use.
Technical Context
The LTC3311JV-0.85#TRMPBF employs constant-frequency peak current mode control with a 500mV internal reference and supports both forced continuous and pulse-skipping operation via MODE/SYNC pin configuration. Its Silent Switcher 1 architecture minimizes EMI through symmetrical layout and integrated bypass capacitors, enabling CISPR Class 5 compliance without external filters.
It integrates NMOS (4.5mΩ) and PMOS (16mΩ) power switches, features 100% duty cycle dropout operation, and includes comprehensive protection: output overvoltage (105–115% VOUT), PGOOD with 125µs delay, short-circuit recovery via SSTT-triggered soft-start, and valley current limiting (12–16A) to prevent inductor saturation during overload.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 0.85V with ±1% accuracy over –40°C to +150°C junction temperature; enables precise core rail regulation for advanced processors. |
| Output Current | Up to 12.5A continuous; supports high-performance FPGA/ASIC core domains without external current sharing. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.25V to 5.5V; compatible with single-cell Li-ion, 3.3V, and 5V intermediate bus architectures. |
| Switching Frequency | Programmable 0.5–5MHz via RT resistor; allows optimization of inductor size (e.g., 100nH at 2MHz) and transient response bandwidth. |
| Power Loss Components | 4.5mΩ bottom switch RDS(ON) and 16mΩ top switch RDS(ON); reduces conduction loss at high load, critical for >90% efficiency at 12A. |
| Active Voltage Positioning | 2.0 mV/A load-line slope; lowers output under full load to counteract IR drop and improve transient droop margin. |
| Minimum On-Time | 35ns typical; enables high step-down ratios (e.g., 5V→0.85V at 2MHz) without pulse skipping at light loads. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 18-lead 3mm × 3mm LQFN with exposed PGND pad (Pin 19), θJCbottom = 9°C/W, rated for –40°C to +150°C junction temperature.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN (1) | Enable control 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; rejects up to ±100mV PCB ground offset for ±1% VOUT accuracy. |
| VIN (3,4,11,12) | Main input power supply | Four parallel pins reduce IR drop and inductance; must be shorted and bypassed locally to PGND with low-ESR capacitors. |
| PGND (5,10,19) | Power ground return path | Three dedicated pins plus exposed pad form primary thermal and current return path; requires large copper area and multiple vias. |
| SW (6–9) | Switch node output | Four paralleled SW pins drive external inductor; minimize trace inductance to suppress ringing and EMI. |
| MODE/SYNC (13) | Multi-phase sync and mode select | Configures pulse-skipping vs. forced continuous mode; accepts external clock (0.5–2.25MHz) or outputs synchronized clock. |
| PGOOD (14) | Power good open-drain signal | Asserts high when VOUT is within 97–99% of nominal; 125µs delay filters transients; supports wired-OR for multi-phase systems. |
| RT (15) | Oscillator frequency set | Resistor-to-AGND sets fSW from 0.5–5MHz; also configures phase offset in multi-phase parallel operation. |
| SSTT (16) | Soft-start, tracking, temp monitor | 10µA current source for soft-start capacitor; tracks FB during startup; settles to ~4mV/°C for die temperature monitoring. |
| ITH (17) | Current limit and loop compensation | Compensation node for error amplifier; external RC network sets loop stability and transient response bandwidth. |
| VOUT (18) | Fixed-output voltage sense | Internally connected to factory-trimmed resistive divider; eliminates external FB resistor network required by adjustable variants. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Silent Switcher® 1 Architecture | Reduces radiated EMI by >30dB vs. conventional buck converters, meeting CISPR 25 Class 5 limits without added filtering components. |

| Active Voltage Positioning (AVP) | 2.0 mV/A load-line slope automatically lowers VOUT under load to pre-bias output caps and minimize undershoot during load steps. |
| Robust Short-Circuit Recovery | SSTT pin pulls low on PGOOD fault, triggering controlled soft-start restart-prevents latch-up and enables autonomous recovery after output shorts. |
| Thermally Enhanced LQFN | 3mm × 3mm footprint with exposed PGND pad achieves θJCbottom = 9°C/W, enabling 12.5A operation without external heatsink in 1-layer PCB designs. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the LTC3311JV-0.85#TRMPBF over temperature and load?
The LTC3311JV-0.85#TRMPBF guarantees ±1% output voltage accuracy over the full –40°C to +150°C junction temperature range and 0A to 12.5A load current. At 12.5A, measured VOUT is 827.4mV to 845.4mV (–2.65% to +0.65% of 0.85V), including line and load regulation effects per datasheet Table 1.
Does the LTC3311JV-0.85#TRMPBF require external feedback resistors?
No. The LTC3311JV-0.85#TRMPBF integrates factory-trimmed resistive feedback circuitry connecting Pin 18 (VOUT) to the internal 500mV reference, eliminating external resistors. This contrasts with the adjustable LTC3311, which uses Pin 18 as FB and requires an external RA/RB divider.
How does the Active Voltage Positioning (AVP) function in the LTC3311JV-0.85#TRMPBF?
The LTC3311JV-0.85#TRMPBF implements AVP with a fixed 2.0 mV/A load-line slope: output voltage decreases linearly with increasing load current. At 12.5A, VOUT drops ~25mV below nominal (to ~825mV), improving transient response by pre-biasing output capacitors and reducing required capacitance.
What thermal performance can be expected from the LTC3311JV-0.85#TRMPBF in a 2-layer PCB?
With the exposed PGND pad soldered to a 25mm² internal ground plane using 6× 0.3mm vias, the LTC3311JV-0.85#TRMPBF achieves θJA ≈ 42°C/W. At 12.5A and 3.3V input, typical power dissipation is 1.1W, resulting in ~46°C rise above ambient-well within the 150°C max junction limit.
Can the LTC3311JV-0.85#TRMPBF synchronize to an external clock, and what is the supported frequency range?
Yes. The MODE/SYNC pin accepts external square-wave clocks from 0.5MHz to 2.25MHz for synchronization. During sync, the device operates in forced continuous mode, and slope compensation adapts automatically. External clock removal is detected within 20µs, after which the oscillator returns to its default frequency.
