Product details
Overview
LTC3355EUF#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic input power interrupt ride-through DC/DC system integrating a 1A buck regulator, 5A boost backup regulator, and 1A CC/CV supercapacitor charger in a single 20-lead 4mm × 4mm QFN package. It delivers regulated 2.7V–5V output from 3V–20V input, charges supercapacitors up to 50F, and sustains VOUT during VIN loss-enabling seamless "dying-gasp" operation in industrial power meters and solid-state drives.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3355EUF#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3355EUF#TRPBF pinout, LTC3355EUF#TRPBF application, or LTC3355EUF#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-regulator architecture with programmable current limits (VIN, boost, charge), thermal regulation to 110°C, 0.5V minimum VCAP start-up for maximum supercap energy utilization, and integrated PFI/RSTB/CPGOOD status indicators.
Technical Context
The LTC3355EUF#TRPBF implements two independent constant-frequency (1MHz) current-mode switching regulators: a nonsynchronous 1A buck for primary regulation and a nonsynchronous 5A boost for backup, both sharing the same FB error amplifier and 0.8V reference. Its charger uses linear CC/CV topology with 0.8V ICHG and CFB references, programmable via external resistors (RICHG: 60.4kΩ–604kΩ; RIBSTPK: 200kΩ–1MΩ).
Power sequencing is managed by dedicated comparators: PFI monitors VIN dropout (0.775V–0.825V threshold), RSTB asserts reset when VOUT reaches 92.5% of target, and CPGOOD signals VCAP readiness at same threshold. Thermal regulation actively reduces charge current above 110°C, while thermal shutdown disables all functions at 155°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 3V to 20V - supports wide-input industrial supplies and battery-backed systems. |
| VOUT Range | 2.7V to 5V - programmable via FB resistor divider; includes 5.65V overvoltage clamp. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supercapacitor-based ride-through power supply applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3350IUFD#TRPBF | Lower 3A boost peak current; no VIN current limit; 16-pin 3mm × 4mm QFN. | Targeted at lower-power backup (<500mA) and space-constrained designs; lacks VINS-based input current limiting. | Select when boost load ≤0.5A and board area is premium; verify PFI threshold compatibility with existing resistor dividers. |

FAQ
What is the minimum supercapacitor voltage required for LTC3355EUF#TRPBF boost operation?
The LTC3355EUF#TRPBF boost regulator operates down to 0.5V on the VCAP pin, enabling extraction of >95% of stored energy from supercapacitors. This low start-up threshold eliminates the need for external precharge circuits and maximizes usable capacitance in backup applications such as power meters and SSDs.
How does thermal regulation affect the charge current of LTC3355EUF#TRPBF?
The LTC3355EUF#TRPBF incorporates active thermal regulation that begins reducing the supercapacitor charge current when the junction temperature approaches 110°C. This prevents thermal shutdown while maintaining continuous operation, allowing designers to optimize charge rate for typical ambient conditions without risking device damage under worst-case thermal loads.
Can LTC3355EUF#TRPBF support both buck and boost regulation at the same VOUT voltage?
Yes, the LTC3355EUF#TRPBF uses a shared FB pin and 0.8V reference for both buck and boost regulators, ensuring identical VOUT setpoints (2.7V–5V) regardless of operating mode. This eliminates output voltage mismatch during seamless transition from main supply to supercap backup, critical for stable microcontroller and memory operation.
What is the function of the VINS pin on LTC3355EUF#TRPBF?
The VINS pin on LTC3355EUF#TRPBF senses voltage drop across an external resistor between VIN and VINS to implement programmable input current limiting. When the sensed voltage exceeds 50mV, the device reduces charge current first, then buck regulator drive strength-protecting upstream supplies and enabling robust operation in current-limited industrial power rails.
Does LTC3355EUF#TRPBF require external compensation components for the boost regulator?
Yes, the LTC3355EUF#TRPBF requires an external RC network connected from the VCBST pin to ground to compensate the boost control loop. This network stabilizes the error amplifier response and ensures reliable regulation across load and input voltage variations, particularly important when operating near the 0.5V VCAP minimum.
