Product details
Overview
LTC3406B-2ES5#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-efficiency monolithic synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator using constant-frequency current-mode control. It delivers up to 600mA output current from a 2.5V–5.5V input, features 2.25MHz switching, 0.6V reference for low-output-voltage designs (e.g., 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V), and operates in 100% duty cycle for ultra-low dropout-enabling extended battery life in single Li-ion portable systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3406B-2ES5#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC3406B-2ES5#TRMPBF pinout, LTC3406B-2ES5#TRMPBF application, or LTC3406B-2ES5#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its SOT-23-5 thin-package thermal performance, integrated P/N-channel MOSFETs eliminating external Schottky diodes, pulse-skipping light-load operation, and precise 0.6V ±1.5% feedback reference across –40°C to 85°C.
Technical Context
The LTC3406B-2ES5#TRMPBF implements a constant-frequency (2.25MHz nominal), current-mode synchronous buck architecture with internal P-channel main switch (RDS(ON) = 0.4Ω typ at 25°C) and N-channel synchronous rectifier (RDS(ON) = 0.35Ω typ). Its error amplifier drives peak-current control via slope-compensated PWM, enabling stable operation up to 95% duty cycle without subharmonic oscillation.
It supports pulse-skipping mode at light loads to maintain regulation while minimizing quiescent current (350µA no-load, <1µA shutdown), includes overtemperature protection (trip at ~150°C), and features built-in overvoltage lockout (20–80mV above VFB). The RUN pin enables precise system-level power sequencing with 0.3V–1.5V logic threshold.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion (2.7V–4.2V) and 5V rail applications without external LDO pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 600mA continuous - sufficient for core logic, RF transceivers, and sensor subsystems in portable electronics. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.25MHz (typ) - enables use of compact 2.2µH inductors and small ceramic capacitors (e.g., 4.7µF CIN, 10µF COUT). |
| Feedback Reference | 0.6V ±1.5% (–40°C to 85°C) - allows accurate, low-noise output programming down to 0.6V with standard resistor dividers. |
| Quiescent Current | 350µA (no load), <1µA (shutdown) - preserves battery runtime during standby and deep-sleep modes. |
| Efficiency | Up to 96% at 600mA - achieved via synchronous rectification and low RDS(ON) switches, reducing I²R losses vs. diode-based solutions. |
| Duty Cycle Range | 0% to 100% - supports true dropout operation (VIN ≈ VOUT) critical for end-of-battery-life operation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-lead TSOT-23 (S5), 1mm profile, 0.95mm × 2.9mm footprint - optimized for space-constrained portable PCB layouts with exposed pad thermal path (θJA = 250°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 <1µA shutdown - enables system-level power gating and sequencing. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power and Signal Ground Reference | Common return for VIN, SW, VFB, and internal circuitry - must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling and voltage drop. |
| SW (Pin 3) | Switch Node | Connection point between internal P- and N-MOSFET drains - routes high dv/dt switching waveform; requires short, wide trace away from sensitive nodes (e.g., VFB). |
| VIN (Pin 4) | Main Input Supply | Primary power input (2.5V–5.5V); requires local 4.7µF ceramic decoupling to GND to suppress high-frequency ripple and supply transients. |
| VFB (Pin 5) | Feedback Input | High-impedance (±30nA bias) node sensing resistive divider output - connects directly to COUT+ for remote sensing; sets output via VOUT = 0.6V × (1 + R1/R2). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous Rectification | Eliminates external Schottky diode - reduces conduction loss, improves efficiency by 5–10% vs. asynchronous buck, and simplifies BOM. |
| 100% Duty Cycle Operation | Enables VOUT regulation even when VIN drops to within ~100mV of VOUT - extends usable battery voltage range in Li-ion systems. |
| 2.25MHz Fixed Switching | Permits miniature passive components (e.g., 2.2µH inductor, 10µF ceramic output cap) - shrinks solution size >40% vs. 500kHz alternatives. |
| Pulse-Skipping Light-Load Mode | Maintains tight output regulation at µA-level loads while holding IQ <350µA - avoids audible noise and improves standby efficiency. |
| Integrated Overtemperature Protection | Thermal shutdown activates at ~150°C junction temperature - prevents permanent damage during overload or poor heatsinking conditions. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62231DRVR | 2.25MHz fixed frequency, 600mA, 0.6V ref, but uses external compensation and lacks 100% duty cycle. | Requires external RC network for loop stability; unsuitable for true dropout operation below VOUT + 0.2V. | Select LTC3406B-2ES5#TRMPBF when dropout headroom is constrained or board space prohibits compensation components. |
| RT8059GJ6 | 2.5MHz, 600mA, 0.6V ref, integrated soft-start, but higher quiescent current (500µA typ) and no overtemperature protection. | Higher IQ reduces battery life in always-on instrumentation; missing thermal protection increases system-level safety risk. | Choose LTC3406B-2ES5#TRMPBF for long-duration portable devices requiring robust thermal management and ultra-low IQ. |
Compared with TPS62231DRVR and RT8059GJ6, the LTC3406B-2ES5#TRMPBF uniquely combines 100% duty cycle, integrated thermal protection, and industry-leading 350µA quiescent current in a 5-pin TSOT-23 - making it optimal for space- and battery-limited Li-ion applications demanding reliability across full temperature range.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LTC3406B-2ES5#TRMPBF?
The LTC3406B-2ES5#TRMPBF delivers up to 600mA continuous output current under typical conditions (e.g., VIN = 3.6V, VOUT = 1.8V, TA = 25°C). Maximum current scales with input voltage and ambient temperature - for example, at VIN = 2.7V and TA = 70°C, the practical limit is ~500mA due to increased RDS(ON) and thermal limits. Full derating curves are provided in Figure 2 of the official datasheet.
Does the LTC3406B-2ES5#TRMPBF require an external Schottky diode?
No, the LTC3406B-2ES5#TRMPBF does not require an external Schottky diode. It integrates both a P-channel main switch and an N-channel synchronous rectifier, enabling fully synchronous operation that eliminates conduction losses and heat generation associated with external diodes. This integration directly contributes to its 96% peak efficiency and simplified bill-of-materials.
What is the operating temperature range specified for the LTC3406B-2ES5#TRMPBF?
The LTC3406B-2ES5#TRMPBF is guaranteed over 0°C to 70°C for all electrical specifications. Performance across –40°C to 85°C is assured by design, characterization, and statistical process controls - making it suitable for industrial and consumer portable applications. Junction temperature must not exceed 125°C continuously, with overtemperature protection activating near 150°C.
How is the output voltage programmed on the LTC3406B-2ES5#TRMPBF?
The output voltage of the LTC3406B-2ES5#TRMPBF is set using a resistive divider connected between VOUT and GND, with the midpoint fed into the VFB pin. The formula is VOUT = 0.6V × (1 + R1/R2), where R1 connects to VOUT and R2 connects to GND. For example, to achieve 1.8V output, use R1 = 499kΩ and R2 = 220kΩ. Layout best practice requires routing the VFB trace directly to the COUT+ pad for remote sensing.
Can the LTC3406B-2ES5#TRMPBF operate in dropout mode, and what does that mean for system design?
Yes, the LTC3406B-2ES5#TRMPBF supports true dropout operation via 100% duty cycle - meaning the internal P-channel switch remains continuously on when VIN approaches VOUT. In this mode, VOUT ≈ VIN – ILOAD × RDS(ON), extending usable battery life in Li-ion systems down to ~2.7V. Designers must verify thermal rise at low VIN, as RDS(ON) increases with temperature and reduces effective headroom.
