Product details
Overview
LTC3402EMS#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 2A, 3MHz micropower synchronous boost DC/DC converter optimized for ultra-low-input-voltage battery-powered systems. It integrates a 0.16Ω N-channel MOSFET switch and 0.18Ω P-channel synchronous rectifier, supports input voltages as low as 0.5V, delivers adjustable output from 2.6V to 5.5V, and achieves up to 97% efficiency in portable instrumentation and handheld computing.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3402EMS#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3402EMS#TRPBF pinout, LTC3402EMS#TRPBF application, or LTC3402EMS#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include burst-mode quiescent current (38μA), start-up voltage (0.85V typ), 10-pin MSOP thermal performance (θJA = 100°C/W on 4-layer board), and OPTI-LOOP® compensation for stable all-ceramic capacitor designs.
Technical Context
The LTC3402EMS#TRPBF employs current-mode control with adaptive slope compensation to ensure stability across wide VIN–VOUT ratios and load transients. Its internal architecture includes lossless peak-current sensing, zero-current detection (<50mA), antiringing control for EMI reduction, and a transconductance error amplifier (85 μmhos) referenced to 1.25V FB voltage.
Switching frequency is programmable from 300kHz to 3MHz via external Rt resistor (fOSC ≈ 3×10¹⁰/Rt), and can be synchronized to an external clock on the MODE/SYNC pin. Burst Mode operation-enabled by driving MODE/SYNC high-reduces light-load quiescent current to 38μA while maintaining regulation, with PGOOD open-drain output asserting low when FB falls >9% below 1.25V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 0.5V to 5V - enables direct single-cell alkaline/NiMH or Li-ion startup without pre-bias |
| Output Voltage Range | 2.6V to 5.5V - adjustable via external resistor divider; 1.25V feedback reference ensures precision regulation |
| Switch Current Rating | 2A continuous - supports 1A output at 3.3V from 1.8V input with >90% efficiency |
| Burst Mode IQ | 38μA - extends battery life in standby states of GPS receivers and pagers |
| Start-Up Voltage | 0.85V typical - allows cold-start from partially discharged cells before VOUT powers IC internally |
| Switching Frequency | Up to 3MHz - permits use of sub-3μH inductors and compact ceramic output capacitors |
| Package Thermal Resistance | θJA = 100°C/W (4-layer PCB) - enables 2A operation without forced air in space-constrained handhelds |
Pinout & Package
The LTC3402EMS#TRPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 10-lead MSOP package (3.0mm × 3.0mm × 1.1mm), with exposed pad for improved heat dissipation and solderable per manufacturer layout guidelines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Rt (Pin 1) | Oscillator timing input | Connects to ground via resistor to set switching frequency (fOSC ≈ 3×10¹⁰/Rt); enables synchronization when driven by external clock |
| MODE/SYNC (Pin 2) | Burst mode control / sync input | High = Burst Mode (38μA IQ); Low = fixed-frequency operation; external clock = sync + fixed-frequency disable |
| VIN (Pin 3) | Main input supply | Accepts 0.5V–5V; powers internal circuitry until VOUT reaches ~2.3V, then IC self-powers from VOUT |
| SW (Pin 4) | Switch node | Connects to inductor and optional Schottky diode; rated –0.5V to 6V; requires short trace routing to minimize EMI |
| GND (Pin 5) | Signal and power ground | Common reference for all analog and power circuits; must be tied to exposed pad for thermal and noise integrity |
| PGOOD (Pin 6) | Open-drain power-good flag | Asserts low when FB drops >9% below 1.25V; used for system sequencing and fault monitoring |
| VOUT (Pin 7) | Regulated output / bootstrap supply | Delivers regulated output; also supplies gate drive for internal PMOS; requires ≥1μF ceramic cap placed adjacent to GND |
| FB (Pin 8) | Feedback input | Monitors output via resistor divider; 1.25V reference enables precise output adjustment; input bias <50nA minimizes divider error |
| VC (Pin 9) | Error amplifier output | Connects to OPTI-LOOP® compensation network; transconductance = 85 μmhos; enables stable loop with all-ceramic output caps |
| SHDN (Pin 10) | Shutdown control | Ground = shutdown (<1μA IQ); >1V = enable; supports hysteresis networks for sub-1V VIN operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Integrated 0.16Ω NMOS + 0.18Ω PMOS switches eliminate external Schottky need for VOUT < 4.3V, enabling >97% efficiency |
| Burst Mode operation | User-selectable via MODE/SYNC pin; reduces IQ to 38μA at light loads while maintaining regulation and low output ripple (<3%) |
| Antiringing control | Active damping circuit suppresses high-frequency ringing on SW node during discontinuous conduction, reducing EMI radiation |
| OPTI-LOOP® compensation | Transconductance error amp + adaptive slope compensation allow stable loop response with only ceramic output capacitors (no electrolytics) |
| Low-voltage start-up | 0.85V typical start threshold enables operation from nearly depleted primary cells; IC transitions to VOUT self-powering above ~2.3V |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3401EMS#TRPBF | 1A switch rating, identical 10-pin MSOP package, same 3MHz max frequency and 0.5V min VIN | Lower output current capability limits use to ≤500mA loads; suitable where size and IQ match but power demand is reduced | Select when system load never exceeds 1A and cost optimization is prioritized over headroom |
| LTC3424EMS#TRPBF | Fixed 1.5V output (non-adjustable), same 2A switch, 3MHz capability, and 0.5V min VIN | Eliminates feedback resistors and simplifies layout; not usable where adjustable VOUT >2.6V is required | Choose for dedicated 1.5V logic rails (e.g., low-voltage FPGAs) where simplicity and BOM reduction outweigh flexibility |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for the LTC3402EMS#TRPBF to start up?
The LTC3402EMS#TRPBF has a typical start-up voltage of 0.85V, allowing it to begin regulation from nearly depleted primary cells. Once VOUT reaches ~2.3V, the IC powers itself from the output rail, removing dependency on VIN. This behavior is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table and Start-Up Voltage vs IOUT graph (Figure G09) of the official datasheet.
Does the LTC3402EMS#TRPBF require an external Schottky diode?
The LTC3402EMS#TRPBF does not require an external Schottky diode for output voltages below 4.3V, thanks to its integrated synchronous rectifier. For VOUT > 4.3V, a Schottky diode (e.g., MBR0520L) is mandatory to prevent SW pin voltage from exceeding its 6V absolute maximum rating, as explicitly stated in the Applications Information section and Pin Functions description.
How is Burst Mode operation enabled on the LTC3402EMS#TRPBF?
Burst Mode operation on the LTC3402EMS#TRPBF is enabled by driving the MODE/SYNC pin high (≥1.4V). When active, the device enters variable-frequency operation with 38μA quiescent current and inductor current terminating at zero each cycle. The datasheet specifies this behavior in the Pin Functions section and confirms it in the Typical Performance Characteristics (Figures G05–G06).
What compensation network is recommended for the LTC3402EMS#TRPBF's VC pin?
The LTC3402EMS#TRPBF uses OPTI-LOOP® compensation, and the typical network shown in Figure F04 consists of RZ = 100kΩ, CZ = 330pF, and CC2 = 470pF. This configuration places a zero near the output filter pole and a pole near DC, ensuring stability with all-ceramic output capacitors. These values are validated in AN76 and the Compensation section of the datasheet.
Can the LTC3402EMS#TRPBF be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, the LTC3402EMS#TRPBF can be synchronized to an external clock applied to the MODE/SYNC pin. The free-running frequency must be set ~30% lower than the target sync frequency, and the sync pulse width must remain under 2μs to disable Burst Mode. This capability is detailed in the Pin Functions and Detailed Description sections, with timing constraints verified in Figure G14 (Oscillator Frequency Accuracy).
