Product details
Overview
LTC3406BES5#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-efficiency monolithic synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator in a 5-lead TSOT-23 package, delivering up to 600mA output current at 1.8V with 2.5V–5.5V input range, 1.5MHz fixed switching frequency, and 96% peak efficiency. It enables compact, low-noise power for single-cell Li-ion portable systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3406BES5#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC3406BES5#TRMPBF pinout, LTC3406BES5#TRMPBF application, or LTC3406BES5#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.6V feedback reference for low-output-voltage design, 100% duty-cycle dropout operation, shutdown current <1µA, and integrated P/N-channel MOSFETs eliminating external Schottky diodes.
Technical Context
The LTC3406BES5#TRMPBF employs constant-frequency current-mode control with internal slope compensation to prevent subharmonic oscillation above 40% duty cycle. Its architecture integrates a 0.4Ω P-channel main switch and 0.35Ω N-channel synchronous switch, enabling high efficiency across load and input voltage ranges.
It operates in pulse-skipping mode at light loads to maintain regulation while minimizing output ripple, and features overtemperature protection, output overvoltage lockout (7.8% above VOUT), and precise 0.6V ±1.5% reference voltage stable over –40°C to 85°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - supports full discharge range of single Li-ion battery (2.7V–4.2V). |
| Output Current | 600mA continuous - sufficient for core logic, RF transceivers, and sensor subsystems in portable devices. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.5MHz (typ) - enables use of small 2.2µH inductors and ceramic capacitors for space-constrained layouts. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.6V ±1.5% - allows precise programming of output voltages down to 0.6V via external resistor divider. |
| Quiescent Current | 300µA (no load), <1µA in shutdown - extends battery runtime in standby and sleep modes. |
| Duty Cycle | 100% - maintains regulation during low-input-voltage dropout, critical for end-of-battery-life operation. |
| Efficiency | Up to 96% - minimizes thermal stress and maximizes usable energy from battery source. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-lead plastic TSOT-23 (S5), 1mm profile, 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint, θJA = 250°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RUN (Pin 1) | Enable control input | Logic-high (>1.5V) enables regulation; <0.3V forces shutdown with <1µA supply draw - prevents floating state. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power and signal ground | Common return path for input capacitor, inductor, and feedback network - must be low-impedance connection. |
| SW (Pin 3) | Switch node | Connects to inductor and drains of internal P/N-MOSFETs - high dv/dt node requiring careful layout separation from sensitive analog traces. |
| VIN (Pin 4) | Main input supply | Accepts 2.5V–5.5V; requires local 4.7µF ceramic decoupling directly to GND (Pin 2) to suppress switching noise. |
| VOUT (Pin 5) | Fixed-output feedback | Internally connected to 1.8V resistive divider - no external resistor needed; used only for LTC3406BES5-1.8 variant. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Eliminates external Schottky diode - reduces conduction loss and board area, improving efficiency by ~5–8% vs asynchronous designs. |
| Pulse-skipping mode | Maintains tight output regulation at light loads (<10mA) without increasing output ripple - ideal for intermittent-sensing applications. |
| Low dropout operation | 100% duty cycle allows VOUT to track VIN down to VOUT + ILOAD×RDS(ON) - extends usable battery life by >15 minutes in deep-discharge scenarios. |
| Thermal shutdown | Activates at ~150°C junction temperature - protects device during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
| Overvoltage lockout | Triggers if VOUT exceeds VFB by >50mV (or 7.8% of VOUT) - prevents damage to downstream 1.8V logic during startup or fault conditions. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62231DRYR | 1.8V fixed output, 600mA, 3MHz switching, 2.05V–6.5V input, 22µA IQ | Higher switching frequency enables smaller inductors but increases EMI sensitivity; lower IQ benefits ultra-low-power sleep states. | Prefer for space-constrained designs needing <1.5mm height; verify EMI compliance in RF-dense environments. |
| MAX17222ETA+T | 1.8V fixed output, 500mA, 1.2MHz, 2.0V–5.5V input, 2.5µA IQ in shutdown | Lower max current and wider input range; optimized for coin-cell and energy-harvesting applications. | Prefer when input may dip below 2.5V or when <3µA shutdown current is mandatory; derate output to 500mA. |
Compared with LTC3406BES5#TRMPBF, TPS62231DRYR offers higher frequency and lower IQ but less robust dropout behavior below 2.5V, while MAX17222ETA+T trades 100mA output headroom for superior ultra-low-IQ performance and broader input flexibility - both require revalidation of loop stability and thermal margins.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LTC3406BES5#TRMPBF?
The LTC3406BES5#TRMPBF delivers up to 600mA continuous output current at 1.8V when VIN ≥ 3V and ambient temperature ≤ 85°C. At lower input voltages (e.g., 2.7V), maximum current reduces to ~500mA due to increased RDS(ON) and thermal limits - refer to Figure 2 in the datasheet for derating curves. The LTC3406BES5#TRMPBF uses internal P/N-MOSFETs rated for 800mA peak sink/source, ensuring safe operation within its specified DC limit.
Does the LTC3406BES5#TRMPBF require an external Schottky diode?
No, the LTC3406BES5#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 reverse recovery losses and conduction losses associated with external diodes. This integration directly contributes to its 96% peak efficiency and allows for simpler, more compact PCB layouts compared to asynchronous buck regulators.
What is the function of Pin 5 (VOUT) on the LTC3406BES5#TRMPBF?
On the LTC3406BES5#TRMPBF, Pin 5 is labeled VOUT and serves as the fixed 1.8V output feedback terminal. Internally, it connects to a precision resistive divider that scales the output voltage to match the 0.6V reference - no external resistors are required. This differs from the adjustable LTC3406B version (which uses Pin 5 as VFB). The LTC3406BES5#TRMPBF is factory-configured for 1.8V output, and Pin 5 must be connected directly to the output capacitor's positive terminal for proper regulation.
How does the LTC3406BES5#TRMPBF behave during input voltage dropout?
During input voltage dropout, the LTC3406BES5#TRMPBF enters 100% duty-cycle operation: the P-channel main switch remains continuously on, passing input voltage minus ILOAD × RDS(ON) to the output. This maintains regulation down to VIN ≈ VOUT + (ILOAD × 0.5Ω), extending usable battery life. At 600mA and 70°C, RDS(ON) is ~0.52Ω, so minimum VIN is ~1.8V + 0.31V = 2.11V - well within its 2.5V minimum rating. The LTC3406BES5#TRMPBF remains stable and functional throughout this mode without oscillation or shutdown.
Is the LTC3406BES5#TRMPBF RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the LTC3406BES5#TRMPBF is RoHS compliant and lead-free. The "#TRMPBF" suffix explicitly denotes tape-and-reel packaging with Pb-free (lead-free) finish and RoHS-compliant materials per Analog Devices' product marking conventions. It meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1) and is qualified for reflow soldering per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 standards. Full compliance documentation is available in the official Analog Devices product change notice (PCN) for this part number.
