Product details
Overview
LTC3406AIS5#TRPBF 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 with 2.5V–5.5V input range, 1.5MHz switching frequency, 0.6V feedback reference, and 100% duty cycle low-dropout operation - enabling extended runtime in portable instruments and media players.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3406AIS5#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3406AIS5#TRPBF pinout, LTC3406AIS5#TRPBF application, or LTC3406AIS5#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include quiescent current (20μA active / ≤1μA shutdown), ±2% reference accuracy, internal soft-start (0.9ms), thermal protection, and ThinSOT-23 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LTC3406AIS5#TRPBF implements a monolithic current-mode buck architecture with integrated P-channel main switch (RDS(ON) = 0.23Ω typ) and N-channel synchronous rectifier (RDS(ON) = 0.21Ω typ), eliminating external Schottky diodes. Its fixed 1.5MHz oscillator enables compact 2.2μH inductor and ceramic capacitor designs while slope compensation ensures stability at >40% duty cycles.
Burst Mode® operation activates automatically below ~100mA load, reducing supply current to 20μA and minimizing light-load ripple. The RUN pin (1.5V enable threshold) controls startup/shutdown, and the 0.6V feedback reference supports output voltages from 0.6V to 5.5V via external resistor divider - critical for precision point-of-load regulation in battery-sensitive applications.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the maximum output current supported by the LTC3406AIS5#TRPBF?
The LTC3406AIS5#TRPBF is rated for continuous output current up to 600mA under typical thermal conditions. This rating assumes proper PCB layout with adequate copper pour for heat dissipation and operation within the –40°C to +125°C junction temperature limit. Peak inductor current capability reaches 1.25A, supporting transient loads beyond steady-state requirements.
Does the LTC3406AIS5#TRPBF require an external Schottky diode?
No, the LTC3406AIS5#TRPBF does not require an external Schottky diode. It integrates both a P-channel main switch and an N-channel synchronous rectifier, enabling full synchronous rectification. This eliminates conduction losses associated with external diodes and improves overall efficiency by 5–10% compared to asynchronous buck topologies.
What is the purpose of the RUN pin on the LTC3406AIS5#TRPBF?
The RUN pin on the LTC3406AIS5#TRPBF serves as the enable/disable control input. Driving it to ≥1.5V enables normal operation; pulling it to ≤0.3V places the device in shutdown mode, reducing supply current to ≤1μA. Leaving the RUN pin floating is prohibited - it must be actively driven or pulled to GND via a resistor to ensure predictable startup behavior.
Can the LTC3406AIS5#TRPBF operate with input voltage equal to the output voltage?
Yes, the LTC3406AIS5#TRPBF supports 100% duty cycle operation, allowing it to maintain regulation when input voltage approaches the output voltage - critical for maximizing battery runtime in Li-Ion systems. At VIN ≈ VOUT, output voltage equals VIN minus ILOAD × RDS(ON) of the P-channel switch, with RDS(ON) increasing at elevated temperatures.
What package type and dimensions does the LTC3406AIS5#TRPBF use?
The LTC3406AIS5#TRPBF uses a 5-lead ThinSOT-23 (TSOT-23) package measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.0mm (L × W × H). Its low-profile construction and exposed pad-free design simplify assembly in ultra-thin portable devices. The part marking "LTCWJ" appears on the top surface, and the package is lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
