Product details
Overview
LTC3405AES6-1.8#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator optimized for single Li-ion battery-powered systems. It delivers up to 300mA output current at 1.8V with 93% peak efficiency, 20µA operating quiescent current, and operates across 2.5V–5.5V input range - enabling extended runtime in portable instrumentation and wireless modems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3405AES6-1.8#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC3405AES6-1.8#TRMPBF pinout, LTC3405AES6-1.8#TRMPBF application, or LTC3405AES6-1.8#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 1.8V output, 1.5MHz constant-frequency current-mode control, ceramic-capacitor compatibility, and ThinSOT-6 package footprint for space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The LTC3405AES6-1.8#TRMPBF employs a constant-frequency, current-mode architecture with internal P-channel main and N-channel synchronous switches. Its 1.5MHz oscillator enables compact external components, while slope compensation ensures stability at high duty cycles without reducing peak inductor current capability.
Burst Mode operation (enabled by grounding MODE pin) reduces quiescent current to 20µA under light loads, whereas Pulse Skipping Mode (MODE tied to VIN) maintains lower output ripple above 25mA. Overtemperature protection shuts down both switches if junction temperature exceeds ~150°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8V ±3% - eliminates external feedback resistors and simplifies layout for stable low-noise supply rails. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - supports full discharge curve of single Li-ion (2.7V–4.2V) and compatibility with 3.3V/5V system rails. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA at VIN ≥ 3V - sufficient for baseband processors, RF front-ends, and sensor interfaces in portable devices. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.5MHz (typ), 170kHz in overcurrent foldback - enables use of ≤4.7µH inductors and <10µF ceramic output capacitors. |
| Quiescent Current | 20µA in Burst Mode - extends battery life during standby in cellular handsets and digital cameras. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - allows complete system power gating without leakage concerns in always-on applications. |
| Efficiency Peak | 93% at 300mA, VIN=3.6V - minimizes thermal stress and improves power density in thermally constrained enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-lead TSOT-23 (ThinSOT™), 1mm height, JEDEC MO-193 compliant. Pin pitch: 0.95mm; body dimensions: 2.90mm × 1.60mm × 1.00mm max.
| 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 supply draw - requires pull-up/pull-down, not floating. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power and signal reference | Primary return path for input/output currents and internal control circuitry - must be low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane. |
| SW (Pin 3) | Switch node | Connects to inductor and drains of internal P- and N-channel MOSFETs - carries high di/dt square-wave current; requires short, wide trace routing. |
| VIN (Pin 4) | Main power input | Supplies internal circuitry and switch drivers - requires local 2.2µF+ ceramic decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| VOUT (Pin 5) | Regulated output feedback | Internally divided 1.8V output connected to error amplifier - no external resistor network needed; sensitive to noise coupling. |
| MODE (Pin 6) | Operating mode select | Ground = Burst Mode (low IQ); tie to VIN = Pulse Skipping Mode (lower ripple) - determines light-load efficiency vs EMI trade-off. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Eliminates external Schottky diode - reduces conduction loss and board area; enables 100% duty cycle for ultra-low dropout operation. |
| Ceramic capacitor stability | No ESR dependency for loop stability - permits use of low-ESR, high-ripple-current X5R/X7R ceramics for minimal output ripple and small PCB footprint. |
| Low dropout operation | 100% duty cycle capability - sustains regulation down to VIN ≈ VOUT + 0.1V, critical for end-of-battery-life operation in Li-ion systems. |
| Overtemperature protection | Thermal shutdown at ~150°C junction temperature - prevents damage during overload or poor heatsinking; auto-recovery on cooldown. |
| Current-mode control | Fast line/load transient response with inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting - improves reliability under dynamic load steps in processor cores and RF ICs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62231DRYR | Fixed 1.8V output, 3MHz switching, 400mA rating, 17µA IQ - higher frequency enables smaller inductors but increases EMI sensitivity. | Requires tighter layout control for EMI; less suitable for audio-sensitive applications due to 3MHz fundamental. | Select when board space is critical and EMI filtering can be implemented; verify thermal performance at 400mA continuous load. |
| RT8059GJ6 | Fixed 1.8V output, 1.5MHz switching, 500mA rating, 25µA IQ - wider input range (2.3V–5.5V), but lacks Burst Mode and has higher light-load IQ. | No Burst Mode means higher standby current in battery-critical applications; better suited for USB-powered instruments. | Prefer for mixed-power-source systems requiring 2.3V start-up; avoid where sub-20µA quiescent current is mandatory. |
Compared with TPS62231DRYR and RT8059GJ6, the LTC3405AES6-1.8#TRMPBF offers superior light-load efficiency via Burst Mode and proven ceramic-capacitor stability, making it optimal for long-duration portable equipment where battery life and layout simplicity are prioritized over maximum current rating.

FAQ
What is the absolute maximum input voltage rating for the LTC3405AES6-1.8#TRMPBF?
The LTC3405AES6-1.8#TRMPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 6V. Exceeding this value - even momentarily - risks permanent damage to the internal P-channel MOSFET and control circuitry. Recommended operating range remains 2.5V to 5.5V per datasheet specifications, with derated performance below 2.5V.
Does the LTC3405AES6-1.8#TRMPBF require an external Schottky diode?
No, the LTC3405AES6-1.8#TRMPBF does not require an external Schottky diode. Its integrated synchronous rectification uses internal N-channel MOSFETs to replace the diode, eliminating forward-voltage drop losses and improving efficiency - especially at low output voltages like 1.8V.
How does the MODE pin affect efficiency and output ripple in the LTC3405AES6-1.8#TRMPBF?
When MODE is grounded, the LTC3405AES6-1.8#TRMPBF enters Burst Mode, achieving 20µA quiescent current but introducing low-frequency output ripple. When MODE is tied to VIN, it operates in Pulse Skipping Mode - increasing light-load IQ to ~35µA but reducing ripple amplitude and EMI, making it preferable for noise-sensitive analog sections.
Can the LTC3405AES6-1.8#TRMPBF operate with 100% duty cycle, and what is its significance?
Yes, the LTC3405AES6-1.8#TRMPBF supports 100% duty cycle operation, allowing VOUT to remain regulated even when VIN drops to within ~100mV of the 1.8V output. This feature maximizes usable battery capacity in single-cell Li-ion systems, extending operational time before brownout occurs.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the LTC3405AES6-1.8#TRMPBF in its TSOT-23 package?
The LTC3405AES6-1.8#TRMPBF in the S6 (TSOT-23) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 250°C/W, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value assumes standard PCB layout with minimal copper; actual θJA improves significantly with added thermal vias and copper pour under the exposed pad (if present) or GND pin connections.
