Product details
Overview
LTC3405AES6-1.5#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator delivering 1.5V at up to 300mA from a 2.5V–5.5V input, featuring 1.5MHz fixed-frequency current-mode control, 93% peak efficiency, and 20µA quiescent current during operation - optimized for single Li-Ion battery-powered portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3405AES6-1.5#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3405AES6-1.5#TRPBF pinout, LTC3405AES6-1.5#TRPBF application, or LTC3405AES6-1.5#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.5V fixed output, ThinSOT-6 package footprint, Burst Mode™ vs pulse-skipping mode configurability via MODE pin, and ceramic-capacitor compatibility without external Schottky diode.
Technical Context
The LTC3405AES6-1.5#TRPBF employs a constant-frequency current-mode architecture with internal P-channel main switch (RDS(ON) = 0.7Ω typ) and N-channel synchronous rectifier (RDS(ON) = 0.6Ω typ), enabling stable regulation across 2.5V–5.5V input while maintaining ±3% output voltage accuracy over temperature and load. Its 100% duty-cycle capability supports low-dropout operation down to VIN ≈ VOUT, extending runtime in battery-depleted conditions.
Burst Mode™ operation (enabled by grounding MODE pin) reduces quiescent current to 20µA at light loads, while pulse-skipping mode (MODE tied to VIN) delivers lower output ripple above 25mA. Overtemperature protection and output overvoltage lockout (ΔVOVL = 2.5–13%) ensure robust system-level reliability without external supervision circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.5V ±3% - eliminates external feedback resistors and ensures precise core logic supply for microcontrollers and sensors. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA at VIN ≥ 3V - sufficient for powering baseband processors, RF front-ends, or display drivers in compact handheld devices. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - fully covers single-cell Li-ion (2.7V–4.2V) and USB-powered (4.75V–5.25V) use cases without input stage derating. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.5MHz (±20%) - enables use of sub-5mm surface-mount inductors (e.g., 4.7µH) and minimizes EMI filtering requirements. |
| Quiescent Current | 20µA in Burst Mode - extends shelf life and standby time in always-on IoT sensors and wearables. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - allows complete system power gating without leakage concerns in battery-backed applications. |
| Package | TSOT-23-6 (ThinSOT™), 1mm height - provides thermal performance (θJA = 250°C/W) and PCB area savings versus standard SOT-23. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TSOT-23-6 (ThinSOT™), 1.90mm × 2.80mm × 1.00mm max height, exposed pad not present. Pin 1 marked with dot; pin numbering follows JEDEC MO-193 standard.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RUN (Pin 1) | Enable control input | Logic-high (>1.5V) enables regulation; logic-low (<0.3V) forces shutdown with <1µA IQ; must not float. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power and signal reference | Primary return path for input capacitor, inductor, and IC ground currents; requires low-inductance connection to PCB ground plane. |
| SW (Pin 3) | Switch node | Connects to inductor and internal P/N-MOSFET drains; carries high di/dt square-wave current - critical for EMI and layout integrity. |
| VIN (Pin 4) | Main power input | Supplies both IC bias and switching power; requires local 2.2µF+ ceramic decoupling directly to GND (Pin 2). |
| VOUT (Pin 5) | Regulated output | Internal resistor divider sets 1.5V; connects to output capacitor and load; feedback path is internal and non-accessible. |
| MODE (Pin 6) | Operating mode select | GND = Burst Mode™ (ultra-low IQ); VIN = pulse-skipping mode (lower ripple >25mA); floating prohibited. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Eliminates external Schottky diode, reducing BOM count and improving efficiency by ~5–8% at mid-load versus asynchronous designs. |
| Ceramic capacitor stability | No ESR dependency in control loop - enables use of low-ESR, small-footprint X5R/X7R ceramics for <10mVPP output ripple. |
| 100% duty cycle operation | Maintains regulation down to VIN – VOUT ≈ 0V - extends usable battery range by up to 150mV compared to non-100% duty-cycle regulators. |
| Overvoltage lockout | Triggers at +2.5% to +13% VOUT excursion - protects downstream 1.5V logic from transient overvoltage during startup or fault conditions. |
| Thermal shutdown | Activates at TJ ≈ 150°C - prevents permanent damage under sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LTC3405AES6-1.5#TRPBF across its full input voltage range?
The LTC3405AES6-1.5#TRPBF delivers up to 300mA continuous output current when VIN ≥ 3V. At lower inputs (e.g., 2.5V), maximum current drops to ~220mA due to reduced duty-cycle headroom and increased conduction losses - see Figure F02 in the datasheet for exact VIN-vs-IOUT curves. Derating is required above 70°C ambient per θJA = 250°C/W.
Does the LTC3405AES6-1.5#TRPBF require an external Schottky diode?
No, the LTC3405AES6-1.5#TRPBF does not require an external Schottky diode. It integrates both a P-channel main switch and an N-channel synchronous rectifier, eliminating body-diode conduction losses and enabling >90% efficiency without external components - a key differentiator versus asynchronous buck controllers.
How does the MODE pin affect efficiency and output ripple in the LTC3405AES6-1.5#TRPBF?
When MODE is grounded, the LTC3405AES6-1.5#TRPBF enters Burst Mode™, achieving 20µA IQ and peak efficiency >85% at 1mA load but with higher output ripple (~20mVPP). When MODE is tied to VIN, it operates in pulse-skipping mode - ripple drops to <5mVPP above 25mA, though light-load efficiency falls to ~70%. The choice depends on system noise sensitivity versus battery life priority.
Can the LTC3405AES6-1.5#TRPBF operate with ceramic capacitors only, and what dielectric is recommended?
Yes, the LTC3405AES6-1.5#TRPBF is fully stable with ceramic output capacitors - its current-mode control loop does not rely on ESR for compensation. X5R or X7R dielectrics are strongly recommended for both CIN and COUT due to their stable capacitance vs. temperature and DC bias, avoiding the capacitance collapse seen in Y5V/Z5U types at rated voltage.
What thermal considerations apply to the LTC3405AES6-1.5#TRPBF in a 70°C ambient environment?
In a 70°C ambient, the LTC3405AES6-1.5#TRPBF's junction temperature remains within spec (TJ ≤ 125°C) up to ~300mA at VIN = 3.6V, assuming standard 2-layer PCB with 1oz copper. Calculated TJ = 70°C + (PD × 250°C/W), where PD ≈ IOUT² × RSW (RSW ≈ 0.88Ω at 70°C). For sustained 300mA operation, add thermal relief pads or increase copper area around GND pin.
