Product details
Overview
LTC3404MPMS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-efficiency monolithic synchronous buck regulator with current-mode control, designed for single Li-Ion battery-powered systems. It delivers up to 600mA output current at VIN = 3.3V, operates from 2.65V to 6V input, features 1.4MHz fixed switching frequency, and achieves up to 95% efficiency in Burst Mode operation - ideal for portable instrumentation and wireless modems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3404MPMS8#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3404MPMS8#TRPBF pinout, LTC3404MPMS8#TRPBF application, or LTC3404MPMS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its –55°C to 125°C extended temperature rating, 10μA quiescent current in operation, 0.8V feedback reference enabling low-output-voltage designs, and synchronization capability from 1MHz to 1.7MHz for noise-sensitive systems.
Technical Context
The LTC3404MPMS8#TRPBF implements a constant-frequency, current-mode synchronous buck architecture with integrated P-channel main and N-channel synchronous MOSFETs. Its internal 0.8V reference enables precise output regulation down to 0.8V, while slope compensation ensures stability above 40% duty cycle.
It supports dual operating modes: selectable Burst Mode (≤10μA IQ) for ultra-low-load efficiency or pulse-skipping PWM for reduced output ripple. Frequency synchronization via the SYNC/MODE pin disables Burst Mode and locks the internal VCO (1–1.7MHz) to an external clock, with phase alignment to the rising edge of the sync signal.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.65V to 6V - supports single-cell Li-Ion (2.7–4.2V) with headroom for charging and dropout margin. |
| Output Current | 600mA at VIN = 3.3V - sufficient for RF transceivers, microcontrollers, and sensor subsystems in portable equipment. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.4MHz typical (1.25–1.65MHz) - enables use of compact 4.7μH inductors and ceramic output capacitors. |
| Quiescent Current | 10μA in Burst Mode - extends battery runtime in standby or low-duty-cycle monitoring applications. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.8V ±2% - allows accurate, low-noise output voltage setting from 0.8V to 6V using external resistor divider. |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified for harsh industrial, automotive under-hood, and military-grade embedded systems. |
| Efficiency | Up to 95% at full load - minimizes thermal stress and power loss in space-constrained PCB layouts. |

Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead MSOP (3mm × 3mm, 0.85mm height), thermally enhanced with exposed pad (GND-connected). Pin pitch: 0.65mm. RoHS-compliant, lead-free (#TRPBF).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RUN (Pin 1) | Enable/Shutdown Control | Logic-high (>1.2V) enables regulation; <0.4V forces shutdown (<1μA IQ); must not float. |
| ITH (Pin 2) | Error Amplifier Compensation Node | Controls peak inductor current threshold; nominal range 0.5V–1.9V; used for loop compensation and current limit setting. |
| VFB (Pin 3) | Feedback Input | Monitors resistive divider output; regulates VOUT by servoing to 0.8V reference; supports remote sensing. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Power and Signal Ground | Common return for all internal circuits and external components; connects to exposed thermal pad. |
| SW (Pin 5) | Switch Node | Drain connection of internal P- and N-channel MOSFETs; high dv/dt node requiring tight layout and minimal trace area. |
| VIN (Pin 6) | Main Power Input | Supplies internal bias and power switches; requires local 10μF ceramic decoupling to GND (Pin 4). |
| SYNC/MODE (Pin 7) | Sync Clock Input / Mode Select | Tied to VIN → Burst Mode; grounded → pulse-skipping; 1–1.7MHz external clock → synchronized PWM. |
| PLL LPF (Pin 8) | Phase Detector Output / VCO Control | Drives external RC filter (e.g., 10kΩ + 2200pF) to set VCO frequency during sync; open when unused. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62130ARGTR | 3–17V input, 3A output, 2.5MHz switching, 17μA IQ - higher voltage range and current, but wider package (QFN-16) and no extended temp grade. | Better suited for 12V industrial inputs or higher-current loads; lacks –55°C rating and Burst Mode optimization for Li-Ion. | Choose TPS62130ARGTR only if input exceeds 6V or output current >600mA is required; verify thermal design for 125°C ambient. |
| MAX17504ATP+T | 4.5–60V input, 2A output, 100kHz–2.2MHz adjustable freq, 100μA IQ - wide VIN, higher current, but significantly higher quiescent current and no extended temp option. | Targeted at 24V/48V industrial systems; unsuitable for single-cell Li-Ion due to minimum 4.5V VIN and 10× higher IQ. | Select MAX17504ATP+T for high-input-voltage distributed power; avoid for battery-powered portable designs where LTC3404MPMS8#TRPBF's 10μA IQ is critical. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LTC3404MPMS8#TRPBF at 3.3V input?
The LTC3404MPMS8#TRPBF delivers up to 600mA output current when VIN = 3.3V, as confirmed in the datasheet's "Features" section and Figure 1 (Maximum Output Current vs Input Voltage). This rating assumes proper thermal management, 4.7μH inductor, and recommended ceramic input/output capacitors. At lower input voltages (e.g., 2.65V), maximum output current decreases due to increased RDS(ON) and reduced duty-cycle headroom.
Does the LTC3404MPMS8#TRPBF support output voltages below 1.0V?
Yes, the LTC3404MPMS8#TRPBF supports output voltages as low as 0.8V, enabled by its precise 0.8V internal feedback reference (±2% over –55°C to 125°C). Using the formula VOUT = 0.8V × (1 + R1/R2), designers can set outputs like 0.9V or 1.0V with appropriate resistor ratios. The device maintains regulation and stability down to this minimum, provided external components meet layout and ESR requirements.
How does Burst Mode operation affect output voltage ripple on the LTC3404MPMS8#TRPBF?
Burst Mode operation on the LTC3404MPMS8#TRPBF increases low-frequency output ripple (typically 20–100kHz envelope) due to intermittent switching bursts, but reduces RMS ripple magnitude at light loads. This trade-off improves efficiency at <10mA loads while potentially interfering with sensitive analog circuits. For low-ripple requirements, tie SYNC/MODE to GND to enable pulse-skipping mode, which maintains constant 1.4MHz switching and yields <10mVPP ripple with proper output capacitance.
Can the LTC3404MPMS8#TRPBF be synchronized to an external clock source?
Yes, the LTC3404MPMS8#TRPBF supports external frequency synchronization from 1MHz to 1.7MHz via the SYNC/MODE pin (Pin 7). When driven by a clean CMOS clock, the internal PLL locks the top MOSFET turn-on edge to the rising edge of the external signal. Note that Burst Mode is automatically disabled during synchronization, and the device operates in pulse-skipping mode with reduced light-load ripple.
What thermal considerations apply to the LTC3404MPMS8#TRPBF in 100% duty-cycle dropout operation?
In 100% duty-cycle dropout (e.g., VIN = 3.4V, VOUT = 3.3V), the LTC3404MPMS8#TRPBF relies on the RDS(ON) of its internal P-channel MOSFET (0.7Ω typical) to regulate. Power dissipation becomes PLOSS ≈ IOUT² × RDS(ON), so at 600mA, ~250mW is dissipated internally. With θJA = 125°C/W, this raises junction temperature by ~31°C above ambient - requiring adequate copper area on the exposed pad and verification that TJ stays ≤125°C under worst-case conditions.
