Product details
Overview
LTC3311SIV#TRMPBF from Analog Devices is a monolithic, Silent Switcher 2 synchronous step-down DC/DC converter delivering up to 12.5A output current from a 2.25V–5.5V input, featuring 500mV feedback reference, 35ns minimum on-time, and 5MHz programmable switching frequency. It serves as a high-density core supply for FPGA, ASIC, and µP in automotive and industrial power systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3311SIV#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC3311SIV#TRMPBF pinout, LTC3311SIV#TRMPBF application, or LTC3311SIV#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, ±1% VOUT accuracy with remote sense, thermally enhanced 3mm × 3mm LQFN package, and support for multi-phase paralleling in forced continuous mode.
Technical Context
The LTC3311SIV#TRMPBF employs constant-frequency peak current mode control with internal hot-loop bypass capacitors to achieve ultralow EMI emissions and high efficiency at up to 5MHz switching. Its architecture integrates dual power switches (4.5mΩ NMOS / 16mΩ PMOS) and supports clock synchronization via MODE/SYNC pin with PLL-based tracking.
It delivers 100% duty cycle operation for low-dropout regulation and includes precision enable threshold (400mV), die temperature monitoring via SSTT pin, and configurable pulse-skip or forced-continuous mode. Output voltage is set by a resistive divider referenced to a stable 500mV internal bandgap.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 2.25V to 5.5V - supports wide-input battery and intermediate bus applications including 3.3V and 5V rails. |
| VOUT Range | 0.5V to VIN - enables sub-1V core supplies for modern processors and FPGAs. |
| Output Current | Up to 12.5A - sufficient for high-performance digital load point requirements without external current sharing. |
| Feedback Accuracy | ±1% with remote sense - maintains tight regulation despite PCB trace resistance between IC and load. |
| Switching Frequency | Programmable 0.5MHz to 5MHz - allows optimization of inductor size, transient response, and efficiency trade-offs. |
| Min On-Time | 35ns - enables high step-down ratios (e.g., 5V→0.5V) at 2MHz without pulse skipping. |
| Shutdown Current | 1µA - ensures ultra-low system standby power in always-on automotive modules. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 18-lead 3mm × 3mm LQFN with exposed PGND pad (Pin 19), θJCbottom = 9°C/W, thermally optimized for high-current DC/DC conversion.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN (1) | Enable control input | Precision 400mV threshold with hysteresis; direct connection to VIN enables device, pull-to-ground disables with 1µA shutdown current. |
| AGND (2) | Remote sense ground | Kelvin connection point for FB divider low-side; compensates for 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 thermal stress; must be shorted and locally bypassed to PGND with low-ESR ceramics. |
| PGND (5,10,19) | Power ground return | Three dedicated pins plus exposed pad form primary thermal path; requires large copper area and multiple vias to internal ground plane. |
| SW (6–9) | Switch node outputs | Four paralleled switch terminals minimize loop inductance; connect directly to inductor with wide, low-inductance traces. |
| MODE/SYNC (13) | Multi-phase sync & mode control | Accepts external clock (0.5–2.25MHz) or outputs synchronized clock; selects pulse-skip vs forced-continuous operation. |
| PGOOD (14) | Power-good status flag | Open-drain output asserting when VOUT is within ±3% of regulation; includes 125µs delay to reject transient glitches. |
| RT (15) | Oscillator frequency programming | Resistor-to-AGND sets fSW from 0.5MHz to 5MHz per RT = 568·fSW−1.08 (kΩ, MHz). |
| SSTT (16) | Soft-start, tracking, temp monitor | Charges external capacitor for controlled ramp-up; after startup, outputs ~4mV/°C for die temperature monitoring. |
| ITH (17) | Current limit & loop compensation | Error amplifier output node; connects to AGND via RC network to stabilize control loop and set peak current limit. |
| FB (18) | Feedback voltage input | Regulated to 500mV ±1%; connects to resistor divider from VOUT to AGND for precise output voltage setting. |

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 | Lower max output current (10A vs 12.5A); identical pinout, package, and feature set except reduced current capability. | Suitable where 10A suffices and thermal margin is less constrained; shares same layout and firmware interface. | Select when full 12.5A headroom is unnecessary and cost optimization is prioritized. |
| TPS546D24RSAR | 6V–18V input range (vs 2.25V–5.5V); higher RDS(ON) (5.5mΩ/12mΩ); no integrated hot-loop caps; requires external compensation. | Better suited for higher-input industrial or telecom systems; lacks Silent Switcher 2 EMI performance and automotive qualification. | Choose only if input voltage exceeds 5.5V or if TI ecosystem integration outweighs EMI and qualification advantages. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LTC3311SIV#TRMPBF?
The LTC3311SIV#TRMPBF delivers up to 12.5A of continuous output current under typical thermal conditions (TA = 25°C, 2-layer PCB with 2 oz copper, 10 cm² exposed PGND copper). Derating applies above 85°C ambient or with reduced airflow; full 12.5A is validated per datasheet Figure 1 with Wurth HCM5030 74435030010 inductor at 2MHz.
Does the LTC3311SIV#TRMPBF support synchronization to an external clock source?
Yes, the LTC3311SIV#TRMPBF supports clock synchronization via its MODE/SYNC pin, accepting external square-wave inputs from 0.5MHz to 2.25MHz. During synchronization, it operates in forced continuous mode and automatically adapts slope compensation; removal of the external clock triggers a graceful return to the default 2MHz frequency within ~20µs.
How does the LTC3311SIV#TRMPBF achieve low EMI performance without external filters?
The LTC3311SIV#TRMPBF uses Silent Switcher 2 architecture with integrated VIN bypass capacitors and symmetrical hot-loop layout to minimize magnetic field radiation. Measured CISPR 25 Class 5 radiated emissions on DC3018A demo board (3.3V→1.2V/10A, 2MHz) fall >20dB below peak limits - eliminating need for ferrite beads or shielded inductors in most automotive layouts.
What is the purpose of the SSTT pin on the LTC3311SIV#TRMPBF?
The SSTT pin on the LTC3311SIV#TRMPBF serves three functions: (1) soft-start timing via external capacitor charge, (2) voltage tracking during startup for supply sequencing, and (3) post-startup die temperature monitoring (~4mV/°C). During faults like output short-circuit, SSTT is pulled low to initiate automatic recovery soft-start.
Is the LTC3311SIV#TRMPBF qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the LTC3311SIV#TRMPBF is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications (Grade I: −40°C to +125°C junction temperature) and manufactured under controlled automotive processes. The "I" in "SIV" denotes industrial/automotive grade; the #TRMPBF suffix confirms tape-and-reel packaging compliant with automotive logistics standards.
