Product details
Overview
LTC3406ES5-1.2#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-efficiency, constant-frequency synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator in a 5-lead TSOT-23 package. It delivers up to 600mA output current at 1.2V with 2.5V–5.5V input range, 1.5MHz switching frequency, and only 20µA quiescent current-optimized for single Li-Ion battery-powered portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3406ES5-1.2#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3406ES5-1.2#TRPBF pinout, LTC3406ES5-1.2#TRPBF application, or LTC3406ES5-1.2#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.2V fixed output, ThinSOT thermal performance (θJA = 250°C/W), Burst Mode operation for light-load efficiency, internal P/N-channel MOSFETs eliminating external Schottky diodes, and overtemperature protection.
Technical Context
The LTC3406ES5-1.2#TRPBF employs a current-mode, constant-frequency architecture with integrated P-channel main switch (RDS(ON) = 0.4–0.5Ω) and N-channel synchronous rectifier (RDS(ON) = 0.35–0.45Ω). Its 1.5MHz oscillator enables compact 2.2µH inductor and ceramic capacitor designs while maintaining stable regulation across 0.5–600mA load range.
Burst Mode operation reduces quiescent current to 20µA at light loads by intermittently enabling switching cycles; shutdown draws <1µA. Output voltage is internally trimmed to 1.2V ±3% (1.164V–1.236V) with 0.04%/V line regulation and 0.5% load regulation-enabling low-dropout operation via 100% duty cycle capability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.2V ±3% (1.164V–1.236V) - eliminates external feedback resistors and ensures precision for low-voltage logic rails. |
| Max Output Current | 600mA continuous - supports core logic, RF transceivers, and sensor subsystems in handheld devices. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - matches single-cell Li-ion (2.7V–4.2V) and USB-powered systems without pre-regulation. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.5MHz (typ), 210kHz under short-circuit - enables use of sub-3mm surface-mount inductors and minimizes EMI filtering burden. |
| Quiescent Current | 20µA in active mode, <1µA in shutdown - extends battery runtime in standby and sleep modes. |
| Efficiency | Up to 90% at 600mA - achieved via synchronous rectification and low RDS(ON) switches, reducing I²R losses. |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 250°C/W - validated for TSOT-23 package; junction temperature remains ≤125°C at 600mA/70°C ambient. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-lead TSOT-23 (ThinSOT™), 1mm profile, JEDEC MO-193 compliant. Pin 1 marked with dot; exposed pad not present.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RUN (Pin 1) | Enable control input | Logic-high (>1.5V) enables regulation; <0.3V forces shutdown (<1µA IQ); must not float-requires pull-up or active drive. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power and signal reference | Primary return path for VIN, SW, and VOUT currents; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise and voltage drop. |
| SW (Pin 3) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt square-wave current-requires short, wide trace and tight CIN placement. |
| VIN (Pin 4) | Main power input | Supplies internal circuitry and switches; requires ≥4.7µF ceramic decoupling placed adjacent to pin. |
| VOUT (Pin 5) | Regulated output / feedback | Delivers 1.2V output; internal resistor divider sets regulation point-no external components needed. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Eliminates external Schottky diode-reducing BOM count, board area, and conduction losses by ~30% vs. asynchronous designs. |
| Burst Mode operation | Maintains >80% efficiency down to 10mA load by gating switching cycles-critical for battery life in intermittent-use applications. |
| 100% duty cycle capability | Enables dropout as low as 100mV at 600mA-extending usable battery voltage range from 2.7V to 1.3V output. |
| Overtemperature protection | Thermal shutdown activates at ~150°C junction temperature-prevents damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Low-profile TSOT-23 | 1mm height, 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint-fits space-constrained PCBs in smartphones, wearables, and IoT sensors. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3405ES5-1.2#TRPBF | Same 1.2V fixed output, but 300mA max output current and 0.8V reference (vs. 0.8V + ∆VOVL in LTC3406). | Lower current capability suits ultra-low-power MCU cores; lacks 100% duty cycle mode for extended battery life. | Select when load current ≤300mA and board space is identical-pin-compatible but lower IOUT rating. |
| LTC3403EDD-1.2#TRPBF | 600mA output, 1.5MHz, but in 8-lead DFN package (3mm × 2mm); includes bypass transistor and adjustable VOUT option. | DFN offers better thermal performance (θJA ≈ 120°C/W) but requires different PCB layout and soldering process. | Choose for higher thermal margin or future design flexibility-same electrical specs but non-pin-compatible footprint. |
Compared with LTC3405ES5-1.2#TRPBF and LTC3403EDD-1.2#TRPBF, the LTC3406ES5-1.2#TRPBF uniquely balances 600mA capability, 1mm height, and 100% duty cycle in TSOT-23-making it optimal for space-limited, battery-critical applications where both peak and light-load efficiency matter.
