Product details
Overview
LTC3406AES5#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-efficiency, 1.5MHz synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator in a 5-lead TSOT-23 package, delivering up to 600mA output current with 2.5V–5.5V input range and 0.6V feedback reference. It features 20μA quiescent current, 100% duty cycle for low-dropout operation, and integrated P/N-channel MOSFETs eliminating external Schottky diodes - ideal for single Li-Ion battery-powered portable instruments and media players.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3406AES5#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC3406AES5#TRMPBF pinout, LTC3406AES5#TRMPBF application, or LTC3406AES5#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±2% 0.6V reference accuracy, Burst Mode® operation for light-load efficiency, thermal shutdown protection, and compatibility with ceramic input/output capacitors in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The LTC3406AES5#TRMPBF employs a constant-frequency, current-mode control architecture with internal slope compensation to prevent subharmonic oscillation at duty cycles >40%. Its dual-MOSFET synchronous rectification enables high efficiency (up to 96%) without external diodes and supports seamless transition into 100% duty cycle during dropout.
Burst Mode® operation reduces quiescent current to 20μA by intermittently enabling switching cycles based on load demand, while internal soft-start (0.9ms typical) limits inrush current. The device integrates overtemperature protection and uses a proprietary scheme to maintain peak inductor current across all duty cycles despite slope compensation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - supports full discharge range of single Li-Ion cells (2.7V–4.2V). |
| Output Current | 600mA continuous - sufficient for core logic rails in portable instrumentation and modems. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.5MHz (typical) - enables use of compact 1–4.7μH inductors and low-ESR ceramic capacitors. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.6V ±2% - allows precise output programming from 0.6V to 5.5V using external resistor divider. |
| Quiescent Current | 20μA (active), ≤1μA (shutdown) - extends battery runtime in standby and sleep modes. |
| Efficiency | Up to 96% - achieved via synchronous rectification and low RDS(ON) (0.23Ω P-FET / 0.21Ω N-FET). |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for commercial and industrial portable equipment environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-lead TSOT-23 (ThinSOT™), 1mm profile, 2.8mm × 1.6mm footprint - optimized for ultra-thin portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RUN (Pin 1) | Enable/Shutdown Control | Logic-high (>1.5V) enables regulation; logic-low (<0.3V) forces shutdown with ≤1μA supply current. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power Ground Reference | Primary return path for VIN decoupling capacitor and feedback network - must be low-impedance. |
| SW (Pin 3) | Switch Node | Connection point between internal P- and N-channel MOSFET drains - routes high di/dt current to external inductor. |
| VIN (Pin 4) | Main Input Supply | Accepts 2.5V–5.5V input; requires ≥2.2μF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to this pin. |
| VFB (Pin 5) | Feedback Input | Senses divided output voltage; referenced to 0.6V internal bandgap - enables remote sensing and adjustable outputs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Synchronous Power Stage | Eliminates external Schottky diode and associated losses - improves efficiency by ~5–10% vs. asynchronous designs. |
| Burst Mode® Operation | Maintains >85% efficiency down to 10mA load - critical for battery life in intermittent-use devices like digital cameras. |
| 100% Duty Cycle Capability | Enables regulation down to VIN – ILOAD×RDS(ON) - extends usable battery life near end-of-discharge. |
| Internal Soft-Start | 0.9ms typical VOUT ramp time - prevents inrush current damage to input capacitors and upstream power sources. |
| Overtemperature Protection | Thermal shutdown activates above ~150°C junction temperature - safeguards IC during overload or poor PCB thermal design. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62231DRYR | 1.8–6.5V input, 3MHz switching, 350mA output, 17μA IQ - higher frequency but lower current rating. | Best suited for ultra-low-power MCU cores where <400mA load suffices and board space favors smaller inductors. | Select when prioritizing minimal solution size over maximum output current capability. |
| MAX17552ATP+T | 4.5–40V input, 600mA output, 2.2MHz, integrated compensation - wider VIN range but larger 16-pin TQFN package. | Targeted at industrial sensors or automotive body electronics requiring extended input voltage tolerance. | Choose only if input exceeds 5.5V or if AEC-Q200 qualification is required. |
Compared with TPS62231DRYR and MAX17552ATP+T, the LTC3406AES5#TRMPBF offers optimal balance of 600mA output, 2.5–5.5V input alignment with Li-Ion systems, and ultra-small TSOT-23 footprint - making it the preferred choice for cost- and space-sensitive portable consumer electronics.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LTC3406AES5#TRMPBF?
The LTC3406AES5#TRMPBF delivers up to 600mA of continuous output current under typical conditions (VIN = 3.6V, VOUT = 1.8V, TA = 25°C). Peak inductor current capability reaches 1.25A, but sustained output is limited by thermal dissipation in the TSOT-23 package - derating is required above 85°C ambient or at high duty cycles near dropout.
Does the LTC3406AES5#TRMPBF require an external Schottky diode?
No, the LTC3406AES5#TRMPBF does not require an external Schottky diode because it integrates both P-channel and N-channel synchronous power MOSFETs. This internal synchronous rectification improves conversion efficiency by eliminating forward-voltage diode losses and simplifies PCB layout by reducing component count.
What is the purpose of the RUN pin on the LTC3406AES5#TRMPBF?
The RUN pin on the LTC3406AES5#TRMPBF provides enable/disable control: pulling it above 1.5V enables regulation, while pulling it below 0.3V places the device in shutdown mode drawing ≤1μA supply current. It must not be left floating, as undefined logic levels may cause erratic startup or increased leakage.
Can the LTC3406AES5#TRMPBF operate with ceramic input and output capacitors?
Yes, the LTC3406AES5#TRMPBF is fully compatible with ceramic input and output capacitors due to its voltage-mode-independent control loop. X5R or X7R dielectric types are recommended for stable capacitance across temperature and bias voltage - enabling low-ripple, compact solutions without ESR-dependent compensation.
What is the feedback reference voltage of the LTC3406AES5#TRMPBF and how is output voltage set?
The LTC3406AES5#TRMPBF uses a precise 0.6V ±2% internal feedback reference voltage. Output voltage is programmed externally using a resistive divider: VOUT = 0.6V × (1 + R2/R1), where R1 connects from VOUT to VFB and R2 connects from VFB to GND - enabling adjustable outputs from 0.6V to 5.5V.
