Product details
Overview
LTC3311JV#TRMPBF from Analog Devices is a monolithic, Silent Switcher® 1 synchronous step-down DC/DC converter in a thermally enhanced 18-lead 3mm × 3mm LQFN package, delivering up to 12.5A output current from 2.25V–5.5V input, with 500mV feedback reference, ±1% VOUT accuracy (with remote sense), and 35ns minimum on-time.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3311JV#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC3311JV#TRMPBF pinout, LTC3311JV#TRMPBF application, or LTC3311JV#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include ultralow EMI compliance (CISPR 25 Class 5), AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive use, programmable switching frequency up to 5MHz, and support for multiphase paralleling in forced continuous mode.
Technical Context
The LTC3311JV#TRMPBF employs constant-frequency peak current mode control with internal 500mV reference and precision enable threshold (400mV, ±60mV hysteresis). Its Silent Switcher 1 architecture integrates split power planes and differential switch node routing to suppress common-mode EMI without requiring external filters.
It supports dual operating modes via MODE/SYNC pin: pulse-skipping for light-load efficiency or forced continuous conduction for predictable ripple and multi-phase synchronization. The device implements active voltage positioning (AVP) only in LTC3311-X variants - the LTC3311JV#TRMPBF is the standard LTC3311 variant with external FB divider and no AVP.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 2.25V to 5.5V - enables direct regulation from single-cell Li-ion, 3.3V, or 5V rails without pre-regulation. |
| IOUT Max | 12.5A - supports high-current FPGA, ASIC, and µP core supplies with single-chip integration. |
| VFB Reference | 500mV ±5mV - allows precise low-VOUT regulation (e.g., 0.5V to VIN) using standard resistor dividers. |
| Switching Frequency | 0.5MHz to 5MHz (RT-programmable) - permits optimization of inductor size vs. efficiency (e.g., 2MHz typical with 274kΩ). |
| Min On-Time | 35ns - enables high step-down ratios (e.g., 5V→0.5V at 2MHz) without pulse skipping or instability. |
| Thermal Rating | Junction temp range –40°C to +150°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1, suitable for under-hood automotive and industrial environments. |
| Efficiency | Up to 95% at 12.5A (VIN=3.3V, VOUT=1.2V, fSW=2MHz) - enabled by 4.5mΩ NMOS and 16mΩ PMOS integrated power switches. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 18-lead 3mm × 3mm LQFN with exposed PGND pad (Pin 19), θJA = 42°C/W, θJCbottom = 9°C/W. Exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane with multiple thermal vias.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN (1) | Enable input with precision threshold | 400mV rising threshold (±60mV hysteresis); 1μA shutdown current; supports resistor-divider VIN enable sequencing. |
| AGND (2) | Remote sense ground reference | Kelvin connection point for FB divider low-side; rejects 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 inductance; require local low-ESR ceramic bypassing to PGND. |
| PGND (5,10,19) | Power ground return path | Three dedicated pins + exposed pad form primary thermal and current return path; must connect to large PCB ground plane. |
| SW (6–9) | Switch node outputs | Four parallel SW pins minimize loop inductance; connect directly to inductor with short, wide copper traces. |
| MODE/SYNC (13) | Mode control & clock I/O | Selects pulse-skipping or forced continuous mode; accepts external sync clock (0.5–2.25MHz) or outputs internal clock. |
| PGOOD (14) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Asserts high when VOUT is within ±3% of regulation; 125μs delay filters transient dips; supports wired-OR in multi-phase systems. |
| RT (15) | Oscillator frequency programming | Connects to AGND via resistor (e.g., 274kΩ → 2MHz); also sets phase offset in multiphase configurations. |
| SSTT (16) | Soft-start, tracking, temperature monitor | 10μA current source for soft-start capacitor; tracks FB during startup; settles to ~4mV/°C junction temp reading post-startup. |
| ITH (17) | Loop compensation node | Internal error amplifier output; connects to AGND via RC network to set bandwidth and phase margin. |
| FB (18) | Feedback input (LTC3311 variant) | Regulates to 500mV; connects to resistive divider from VOUT; supports optional CFF from VOUT to FB for transient optimization. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Silent Switcher® 1 Architecture | Reduces radiated EMI by >30dB vs. conventional buck converters; meets CISPR 25 Class 5 limits without added filtering. |
| 100% Duty Cycle Operation | Enables dropout operation down to VIN ≈ VOUT + ILOAD × RDS(ON)_PMOS, critical for battery-powered systems near end-of-discharge. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3310SIV#TRMPBF | Pin-compatible 10A variant; same 3mm × 3mm LQFN, Silent Switcher 1, but lower current rating and no SSTT temperature monitoring. | Best suited for ≤10A loads where die temperature monitoring is not required; lacks AVP and some protection features of LTC3311. | Select when 10A suffices and cost reduction is prioritized over 12.5A headroom and thermal telemetry. |
| MP2960GQH-Z | Monolithic 12A buck with 2.4V–18V input; higher VIN range but no AEC-Q100 rating, no Silent Switcher EMI suppression, and larger 4mm × 4mm QFN. | Targeted at industrial/commercial 12V-input systems; unsuitable for automotive due to missing qualification and higher EMI. | Choose only for non-automotive 12V-rail applications where input voltage exceeds 5.5V and EMI is less critical. |
Compared with LTC3310SIV#TRMPBF and MP2960GQH-Z, the LTC3311JV#TRMPBF uniquely combines AEC-Q100 qualification, 12.5A capability, Silent Switcher EMI performance, and integrated die temperature monitoring in a 3mm × 3mm footprint-making it the only option qualified for safety-critical automotive core power.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LTC3311JV#TRMPBF?
The LTC3311JV#TRMPBF delivers up to 12.5A of continuous output current when properly heatsinked on a 4-layer PCB with 2oz copper and thermal vias to internal ground planes. Derating is required above 85°C ambient; full 12.5A is guaranteed from –40°C to +105°C case temperature per datasheet Figure 1.
Does the LTC3311JV#TRMPBF support remote voltage sensing?
Yes, the LTC3311JV#TRMPBF supports true Kelvin remote sensing via its dedicated AGND pin, which serves as the reference for the FB divider's low-side resistor. This allows compensation for up to ±100mV ground potential difference between the IC and load, ensuring ±1% VOUT accuracy at the point of load.
Is the LTC3311JV#TRMPBF pin-compatible with other devices in the LTC3311 family?
Yes, the LTC3311JV#TRMPBF shares identical 18-lead 3mm × 3mm LQFN pinout and footprint with all LTC3311 and LTC3311-X variants (e.g., LTC3311-0.85, LTC3311HV), enabling drop-in replacement across output voltage options and temperature grades without PCB redesign.
How does the Silent Switcher architecture in the LTC3311JV#TRMPBF reduce EMI?
The LTC3311JV#TRMPBF implements Silent Switcher 1 via symmetrical, opposing switch node layouts and integrated input capacitors that cancel magnetic fields. Measured radiated emissions fall >30dB below CISPR 25 Class 5 peak limits at 10A load, eliminating need for ferrite beads or metal shields in most automotive designs.
What protection features are integrated into the LTC3311JV#TRMPBF?
The LTC3311JV#TRMPBF integrates output overvoltage protection (105–115% VOUT trip), thermal shutdown, output short-circuit recovery (via SSTT-triggered soft-start), valley current limiting, and undervoltage lockout. It also provides PGOOD monitoring with 125μs delay to reject false trips from transient load steps.
