Product details
Overview
LTC3406AIS5#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-efficiency, constant-frequency, current-mode synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator optimized for single Li-Ion battery-powered systems. It delivers up to 600mA output current, operates from 2.5V to 5.5V input, regulates with ±2% accuracy at 0.6V feedback reference, and achieves up to 96% efficiency in continuous mode - enabling extended runtime in portable instrumentation and media players.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3406AIS5#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC3406AIS5#TRMPBF pinout, LTC3406AIS5#TRMPBF application, or LTC3406AIS5#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.5MHz fixed switching frequency, 100% duty cycle low-dropout capability, Burst Mode® operation for <20μA quiescent current, and TSOT-23-5 package thermal performance under industrial temperature range (–40°C to 125°C).
Technical Context
The LTC3406AIS5#TRMPBF implements a current-mode control loop with internal P-channel main and N-channel synchronous switches, slope-compensated for stability at >40% duty cycles. Its patented compensation preserves full 1.25A peak inductor current capability across all operating conditions without reduction due to ramp injection.
Burst Mode® operation activates below ~100mA load, disabling power switches between bursts to reduce supply current to 20μA; shutdown draws ≤1μA. The 0.6V reference enables precise output programming down to 0.6V via external resistor divider, while RUN pin logic (0.3V–1.5V threshold) provides controlled enable/disable sequencing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - supports full single-cell Li-ion discharge profile (4.2V → 2.7V) without input rail regulation. |
| Output Current | 600mA continuous - sufficient for baseband processors, RF transceivers, and sensor subsystems in handheld devices. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.5MHz (typ) - enables use of compact 2.2μH inductors and ceramic capacitors, minimizing board area. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.6V ±2% - allows accurate low-voltage outputs (e.g., 1.2V, 1.8V, 2.5V) with standard 1% resistors. |
| Quiescent Current | 20μA (active), ≤1μA (shutdown) - critical for battery longevity in standby and sleep modes. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 125°C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications. |
| Efficiency Peak | 96% - achieved at mid-load with typical 2.2μH inductor and ceramic output capacitor. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-lead TSOT-23 (ThinSOT™), 1mm height, 0.95mm pitch, thermally enhanced pad (θJA = 250°C/W, θJC = 90°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RUN (Pin 1) | Enable/Shutdown Control Input | Logic-high (>1.5V) enables regulation; logic-low (<0.3V) forces shutdown with ≤1μA supply current - requires pull-up or active control, not left floating. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power and Signal Ground Reference | Common return for VIN decoupling, SW node current path, and feedback network - must be low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane. |
| SW (Pin 3) | Internal Switch Node | Connects to drains of integrated P- and N-channel MOSFETs - carries high di/dt square-wave current; requires short, wide trace routing away from sensitive nodes. |
| VIN (Pin 4) | Main Power Input | Supplies internal circuitry and switch drivers - requires ≥4.7μF ceramic decoupling placed within 2mm of pin to minimize voltage ripple and EMI. |
| VFB (Pin 5) | Feedback Input | Monitors output voltage via external resistor divider - high-impedance (±30nA bias) node; must be routed away from SW and shielded from noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Eliminates external Schottky diode - reduces conduction loss and improves efficiency by ~5–8% vs. asynchronous designs at 600mA. |
| 100% duty cycle operation | Enables dropout regulation down to VIN – ILOAD×RDS(ON) - extends usable battery life near end-of-discharge (e.g., 2.7V→2.5V @ 600mA). |
| Internal soft-start | 0.9ms (typ) VOUT ramp - limits inrush current into output capacitance, preventing input rail sag and system reset during power-up. |
| Overtemperature protection | Thermal shutdown at ~150°C junction - latches off both switches until cooldown, protecting against sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Burst Mode® low-IQ | 20μA quiescent current with regulated output - maintains voltage accuracy while drawing less than most microcontroller RTC circuits. |

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; 0.6V ref; 600mA; 3.6MHz switching; smaller 6-pin WSON package | Higher fSW enables smaller passives but increases EMI risk near sensitive analog sections | Prefer when board space is constrained and higher-frequency filtering is feasible |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LTC3406AIS5#TRMPBF?
The LTC3406AIS5#TRMPBF is rated for 600mA continuous output current under typical conditions (TA ≤ 85°C, proper layout, and adequate thermal relief). Peak inductor current capability reaches 1.25A, supporting transient loads and ensuring stability during startup and load steps. Derating applies above 85°C ambient or with poor PCB copper area.
Does the LTC3406AIS5#TRMPBF require an external Schottky diode?
No, the LTC3406AIS5#TRMPBF does not require an external Schottky diode. It integrates both P-channel high-side and N-channel low-side synchronous MOSFETs, eliminating conduction losses and heat generation associated with external diodes - improving efficiency by up to 8% at full load compared to asynchronous alternatives.
What is the function of the RUN pin on the LTC3406AIS5#TRMPBF?
The RUN pin on the LTC3406AIS5#TRMPBF controls device enable/disable state. Pulling RUN above 1.5V enables regulation with internal soft-start; pulling RUN below 0.3V places the LTC3406AIS5#TRMPBF in shutdown, reducing supply current to ≤1μA. The pin must never be left floating - a pull-up resistor to VIN is recommended for default-on operation.
Can the LTC3406AIS5#TRMPBF operate in 100% duty cycle mode?
Yes, the LTC3406AIS5#TRMPBF supports true 100% duty cycle operation, allowing output regulation even when input voltage approaches the output level (e.g., 2.7V → 2.5V). In this mode, the P-channel MOSFET remains continuously on, and regulation depends on RDS(ON) and inductor DCR - power dissipation must be verified per thermal analysis guidelines.
What package type and footprint does the LTC3406AIS5#TRMPBF use?
The LTC3406AIS5#TRMPBF uses a 5-lead TSOT-23 (ThinSOT™) package, measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.0mm with 0.95mm lead pitch. It features an exposed thermal pad compatible with standard SMT reflow profiles and requires PCB copper pour connected to GND for optimal thermal performance (θJA = 250°C/W).
