Product details
Overview
LTC3406BES5-1.2 from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-efficiency, monolithic synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator in a 5-lead TSOT-23 package. It delivers up to 600mA output current with 1.2V fixed output, operates from 2.5V to 5.5V input, achieves up to 96% efficiency, and uses constant-frequency (1.5MHz) current-mode control-ideal for single Li-Ion battery-powered portable electronics requiring low profile and low quiescent current.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3406BES5-1.2 datasheet, LTC3406BES5-1.2 pinout, LTC3406BES5-1.2 application, or LTC3406BES5-1.2 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.2V fixed output, 600mA load capability, 300µA no-load supply current, 1.5MHz switching frequency enabling compact 2.2µH inductors, and integrated P/N-channel MOSFETs eliminating external Schottky diodes.
Technical Context
The LTC3406BES5-1.2 employs a constant-frequency, peak-current-mode control architecture with internal P-channel main switch and N-channel synchronous rectifier. Its 1.5MHz oscillator enables use of small ceramic capacitors and sub-3mm inductors while maintaining stable regulation across line and load transients.
It features pulse-skipping mode at light loads to maintain regulation with low output ripple, overtemperature protection that disables both switches above ~150°C, and an internal 0.8V reference with ±0.4% line regulation and ±0.5% load regulation-ensuring tight 1.2V output accuracy (±3%) over temperature and input voltage range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.2V ±3% (1.164V–1.236V), internally trimmed for precision without external feedback resistors |
| Max Output Current | 600mA continuous, supported by internal 0.4Ω P-FET and 0.45Ω N-FET RDS(ON) at 25°C |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - optimized for single-cell Li-ion (2.7V–4.2V) and USB-powered systems |
| Switching Frequency | 1.5MHz nominal (1.2–1.8MHz over temp/voltage), enabling <3mm inductors and low-profile designs |
| Quiescent Current | 300µA at no load; drops to <1µA in shutdown - extends battery runtime in standby |
| Efficiency Peak | Up to 96% at 3VIN/1.2VOUT/600mA - minimizes thermal stress in thin portable enclosures |
| Package | 5-lead TSOT-23 (ThinSOT), 1mm height - meets ultra-low-profile requirements for slim handhelds |
Pinout & Package
5-lead plastic TSOT-23 package (JEDEC MO-193), 1.00mm max height, 2.80mm × 1.60mm footprint. Exposed pad not present; thermal resistance θJA = 250°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RUN (Pin 1) | Enable control input | Logic-high (>1.5V) enables regulation; logic-low (<0.3V) forces <1µA shutdown - used for system power sequencing |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power and signal ground reference | Common return for VIN, SW, VOUT, and internal circuitry - must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise |
| SW (Pin 3) | Switch node | Connection point between internal P-FET drain and N-FET source - routes high di/dt current to external inductor |
| VIN (Pin 4) | Main input supply | Accepts 2.5V–5.5V; requires local 4.7µF ceramic decoupling - powers internal gate drivers and bias circuits |
| VOUT (Pin 5) | Regulated output / feedback sense | Delivers 1.2V output; internal resistor divider (60k/120k) sets feedback ratio - no external resistors needed |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Integrated N-channel MOSFET eliminates external Schottky diode - reduces BOM count and improves efficiency by ~5% vs asynchronous designs |
| 100% duty cycle operation | Enables dropout as low as VOUT + ILOAD×RDS(ON) - extends usable battery life down to 1.25V input in Li-ion systems |
| Pulse-skipping mode | Maintains regulation at light loads with low output ripple - avoids audible noise and preserves efficiency better than forced PWM at <10mA |
| Overtemperature protection | Thermal shutdown disables both switches above ~150°C junction - prevents permanent damage during overload or poor heatsinking |
| No external compensation required | Internally compensated for stability with standard 2.2µH inductor and 10µF ceramic output capacitor - simplifies layout and reduces design cycle time |

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended output current for the LTC3406BES5-1.2?
The LTC3406BES5-1.2 is specified for continuous 600mA output current at 3V input and 25°C ambient. Derating is required above 70°C ambient or with elevated input voltage due to thermal limits; at 85°C ambient and 5.5V input, maximum sustainable output current drops to approximately 400mA to maintain junction temperature below 125°C.
Does the LTC3406BES5-1.2 require external feedback resistors to set the output voltage?
No. The LTC3406BES5-1.2 has a factory-trimmed internal resistor divider that fixes the output voltage at 1.2V. Pin 5 (VOUT) serves as both output terminal and feedback node - no external resistors are needed, simplifying layout and reducing component count.
Can the LTC3406BES5-1.2 operate with input voltage lower than 2.5V?
No. The absolute minimum input voltage is 2.5V per datasheet specifications. Operation below 2.5V may cause regulation loss, erratic switching, or failure to start. For sub-2.5V inputs, consider the LTC3406ES5-0.6#TRPBF (0.6V output) or LTC3405AES5-0.8#TRPBF (0.8V output) variants.
What is the purpose of the RUN pin on the LTC3406BES5-1.2, and what voltage levels enable or disable it?
The RUN pin (Pin 1) controls device enable/disable. Applying ≥1.5V enables regulation; applying ≤0.3V places the LTC3406BES5-1.2 in shutdown mode drawing <1µA. Voltages between 0.3V and 1.5V are undefined and must be avoided - the pin must never be left floating.
Is the LTC3406BES5-1.2 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes. The LTC3406BES5-1.2#TRPBF suffix denotes lead-free (Pb-free), RoHS-compliant packaging with matte tin finish on leads and halogen-free molding compound, meeting JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1) requirements.
