Product details
Overview
LTC3311JV-0.875#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a monolithic, Silent Switcher® synchronous step-down DC/DC converter delivering up to 12.5A output current from a 2.25V–5.5V input, with fixed 0.875V output, ±1% accuracy over temperature and load, and 35ns minimum on-time for high VIN-to-VOUT ratios. It serves as a core power supply for FPGA, ASIC, and microprocessor core rails in space-constrained, low-EMI systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3311JV-0.875#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3311JV-0.875#TRPBF pinout, LTC3311JV-0.875#TRPBF application, or LTC3311JV-0.875#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed EMI performance per CISPR25 Class 5, and real-world design implications of its 3mm × 3mm LQFN package, active voltage positioning, and forced continuous/pulse-skipping mode selection.
Technical Context
The LTC3311JV-0.875#TRPBF employs constant-frequency peak current mode control with a 500mV internal reference (adjusted for 0.875V output via internal resistor divider), enabling fast transient response and stable regulation under dynamic loads. Its Silent Switcher 1 architecture integrates split power paths and balanced SW node routing to suppress common-mode EMI without requiring external filters.
It supports multi-phase parallel operation via MODE/SYNC pin synchronization, configurable soft-start with tracking, die temperature monitoring via SSTT pin, and robust protection including output overvoltage (105–115% VOUT), thermal shutdown, and valley-current limiting (12–16A) to safely handle inductor saturation during overload.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 0.875V ±1% over –40°C to +150°C junction temperature, with active voltage positioning (2.0 mV/A droop) for improved transient response. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.25V to 5.5V - enables direct regulation from single-cell Li-ion, 3.3V, or 5V intermediate bus rails without pre-regulation. |
| Max Output Current | 12.5A continuous - supported by 4.5mΩ NMOS and 16mΩ PMOS integrated power switches with thermally enhanced 3mm × 3mm LQFN package. |
| Switching Frequency | Programmable 0.5MHz–5MHz via RT pin; default 2MHz with 274kΩ resistor - balances efficiency, inductor size (e.g., 100nH), and transient bandwidth. |
| Minimum On-Time | 35ns - allows stable 0.875V output from inputs as low as 2.25V (VIN:VOUT ≈ 2.56:1) without pulse skipping instability. |
| EMI Performance | CISPR25 Class 5 compliant radiated emissions (horizontal/vertical polarization) with EMI filter - eliminates need for ferrite beads or metal shields in automotive/industrial designs. |
| Protection Features | Output overvoltage (105–115% VOUT), PGOOD with 125µs delay, thermal shutdown, valley-current limit (12–16A), and short-circuit recovery via SSTT-triggered soft-start. |
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 input | Precision 400mV threshold with 60mV hysteresis; 1μA shutdown current - enables accurate power sequencing and brown-out protection. |
| AGND (2) | Remote sense ground | Kelvin connection point for feedback divider low-side - compensates for PCB IR drop up to ±100mV between local and load ground. |
| VIN (3,4,11,12) | Input power supply | Four parallel pins reduce impedance and thermal stress; must be bypassed locally to PGND with low-ESR capacitors. |
| PGND (5,10,19) | Power ground return | Primary thermal path; exposed pad (Pin 19) must be soldered to large PCB ground plane with multiple vias for heat dissipation. |
| SW (6–9) | Switch node | Four paralleled SW outputs drive external inductor; require short, wide copper traces to minimize ringing and EMI. |
| MODE/SYNC (13) | Multi-phase sync & mode control | Accepts external clock (0.5–2.25MHz) or outputs synchronized clock; selects pulse-skipping vs. forced continuous mode. |
| PGOOD (14) | Power good indicator | Open-drain output asserting when VOUT is within 97–99% of nominal - used for system power sequencing and fault reporting. |
| RT (15) | Oscillator frequency set | Resistor-to-AGND sets switching frequency (0.5–5MHz); also configures phase offset in multi-phase setups. |
| SSTT (16) | Soft-start/track/temp monitor | 10µA current charges external capacitor for controlled ramp; tracks FB during startup; then reports die temperature (4mV/°C). |
| ITH (17) | Loop compensation node | Connects external RC network to AGND for stability tuning - critical for optimizing transient response with ceramic output capacitors. |
| VOUT (18) | Fixed-output voltage sense | Internally connected to precision 0.875V divider - eliminates external resistors and improves accuracy vs. adjustable variants. |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the LTC3311JV-0.875#TRPBF over temperature and load?
The LTC3311JV-0.875#TRPBF delivers ±1% output voltage accuracy over the full –40°C to +150°C junction temperature range and across 0A to 12.5A load current, as confirmed by Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the datasheet. This includes line regulation (0.025%/V) and load regulation effects, with active voltage positioning adding a predictable 2.0 mV/A droop for transient optimization. The LTC3311JV-0.875#TRPBF achieves this via factory-trimmed internal resistor divider and 500mV reference stability.
Does the LTC3311JV-0.875#TRPBF require external feedback resistors?
No, the LTC3311JV-0.875#TRPBF does not require external feedback resistors. Unlike the adjustable LTC3311, this variant integrates precision internal resistors to set the 0.875V output, connecting directly to the VOUT pin (Pin 18). This eliminates resistor tolerance errors and layout sensitivity, improving absolute accuracy and reducing component count. The LTC3311JV-0.875#TRPBF uses the same AGND-sensed architecture for remote voltage sensing but removes the FB divider network entirely.
How does the Silent Switcher architecture in the LTC3311JV-0.875#TRPBF reduce EMI?
The LTC3311JV-0.875#TRPBF implements Silent Switcher 1 architecture through symmetrical, opposite-polarity SW node routing and integrated, matched hot-loop paths that cancel magnetic fields. This reduces common-mode EMI by >30dB compared to conventional buck converters, enabling CISPR25 Class 5 compliance without external EMI filters or metal shielding. The LTC3311JV-0.875#TRPBF achieves this in its 3mm × 3mm LQFN package using internal copper balancing - verified by radiated emission plots in Figures G29–G31 of the datasheet.
Can the LTC3311JV-0.875#TRPBF operate in forced continuous conduction mode (FCCM)?
Yes, the LTC3311JV-0.875#TRPBF supports forced continuous conduction mode via the MODE/SYNC pin. Pulling MODE/SYNC above 1.2V (or leaving it open with internal pull-up) configures FCCM, ensuring consistent switching frequency and minimized output voltage ripple at light loads - critical for noise-sensitive analog circuits. Pulse-skipping mode (default when MODE/SYNC is grounded) improves light-load efficiency. The LTC3311JV-0.875#TRPBF allows seamless mode selection without changing external components.
What thermal performance can be expected from the LTC3311JV-0.875#TRPBF at 12.5A output?
With proper PCB layout - including soldering the exposed PGND pad (Pin 19) to a 4-layer board with ≥4 thermal vias and 2oz copper ground plane - the LTC3311JV-0.875#TRPBF achieves θJCbottom = 9°C/W, allowing 12.5A operation at +150°C junction temperature. At 3.3V input and 0.875V/12.5A output, typical power loss is ~1.1W, resulting in ~10°C rise above ambient in still air. The LTC3311JV-0.875#TRPBF includes die temperature monitoring via the SSTT pin (4mV/°C) for real-time thermal management.
