Product details
Overview
LTC3406ES5-1.5#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator in TSOT-23-5 package, delivering up to 600mA at fixed 1.5V output with 96% peak efficiency, 1.5MHz switching frequency, and 20µA quiescent current-designed for single Li-ion battery-powered portable electronics requiring compact, high-efficiency power conversion.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3406ES5-1.5#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3406ES5-1.5#TRPBF pinout, LTC3406ES5-1.5#TRPBF application, or LTC3406ES5-1.5#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.5V–5.5V input range, 100% duty-cycle dropout capability, internal 0.6V reference, thermal shutdown, and Burst Mode® operation for ultra-low-load efficiency.
Technical Context
The LTC3406ES5-1.5#TRPBF employs constant-frequency current-mode control with integrated P-channel main and N-channel synchronous switches. Its architecture supports automatic Burst Mode® operation below ~200mA load, reducing quiescent current to 20µA while maintaining regulation via periodic burst cycles.
It features internal slope compensation to prevent subharmonic oscillation above 40% duty cycle, a patented scheme preserving full 1.25A peak inductor current across all duty cycles, and oscillator frequency foldback to ~210kHz during short-circuit conditions for safe current limiting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.5V ±30mV (1.455V–1.545V) at 100mA load-enables direct replacement of LDOs in 1.5V rail applications without external feedback resistors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V-supports full discharge range of single-cell Li-ion (2.7V–4.2V) and compatibility with 3.3V/5V system rails. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.5MHz (typ), 1.2–1.8MHz (min–max)-permits use of small 2.2µH inductors and ceramic capacitors, minimizing board area. |
| Max Output Current | 600mA continuous-sufficient for core logic, RF front-ends, and sensor subsystems in handheld devices. |
| Quiescent Current | 20µA in active mode, ≤1µA in shutdown-extends battery runtime in standby and low-power sleep states. |
| Efficiency | Up to 96% at medium loads-reduces thermal stress and enables thermally constrained thin-profile designs. |
| Duty Cycle | 100%-maintains regulation down to VIN ≈ VOUT + ILOAD × RDS(ON), critical for end-of-battery-life operation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-lead TSOT-23 (ThinSOT™), 1mm profile, 0.95mm pitch, RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RUN (Pin 1) | Enable control input | Active-high logic: ≥1.5V enables regulation; ≤0.3V forces shutdown with ≤1µA supply current-requires pull-up or MCU GPIO control. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power ground reference | Primary return path for input capacitor, inductor, and IC substrate-must be low-impedance, directly connected to power plane. |
| SW (Pin 3) | Switch node | Connection point for external inductor; carries high di/dt square-wave voltage-requires short, wide trace and isolation from sensitive nodes (e.g., VFB). |
| VIN (Pin 4) | Main input supply | Accepts 2.5V–5.5V; requires local 2.2µF+ ceramic decoupling placed adjacent to pin to minimize AC loop inductance. |
| VOUT (Pin 5) | Fixed-output feedback | Internally connected to 1.5V divider; no external resistor needed-simplifies layout and eliminates feedback resistor tolerance errors. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Eliminates external Schottky diode-reduces BOM count, improves efficiency by ~5–10% vs. asynchronous buck, and lowers thermal footprint. |
| Burst Mode® operation | Reduces light-load quiescent current to 20µA while maintaining tight output regulation-critical for always-on sensors and Bluetooth LE subsystems. |
| 100% duty-cycle capability | Extends usable battery life by sustaining 1.5V output down to ~1.6V input-delays system brownout during deep discharge. |
| Internal 0.6V reference | Enables stable 1.5V output with <±2% total error over –40°C to 85°C-no external trimming required for production calibration. |
| Overtemperature protection | Thermal shutdown at ~150°C junction temperature-prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking. |

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 | Fixed 1.5V output, 1.8MHz switching, 600mA, 17µA IQ-but uses different pinout (VIN, GND, SW, FB, EN) and requires external feedback for fixed-VOUT variants. | Requires external resistor network for 1.5V setting; lacks integrated VOUT divider-increases BOM and layout complexity. | Select if higher switching frequency is prioritized over pinout compatibility and design simplicity. |
| MAX17222ETA+ | 1.5V fixed, 1.2MHz, 500mA, 1.6µA IQ in 6-pin WLP-but no 100% duty cycle, limited to 5.5V max input, and smaller thermal pad limits power handling. | Lower max current and no dropout mode restrict use in high-pulse-load applications like camera flash drivers. | Select for ultra-low-IQ battery monitoring circuits where 500mA suffices and board area is more critical than thermal headroom. |
Compared with TPS62231DRYR and MAX17222ETA+, the LTC3406ES5-1.5#TRPBF offers superior dropout performance (100% duty cycle), simpler fixed-output implementation (no external resistors), and proven thermal robustness in TSOT-23-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained Li-ion systems demanding reliability across full battery discharge.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LTC3406ES5-1.5#TRPBF?
The LTC3406ES5-1.5#TRPBF delivers up to 600mA continuous output current under typical conditions (VIN = 3.6V, TA = 25°C). Derating applies at elevated ambient temperatures or low input voltages-e.g., maximum output drops to ~400mA at VIN = 2.7V due to increased RDS(ON) and thermal limits. Full specifications are validated per the Electrical Characteristics table in the official datasheet.
Does the LTC3406ES5-1.5#TRPBF require external feedback resistors to set the 1.5V output?
No. The LTC3406ES5-1.5#TRPBF integrates an internal resistive divider optimized for 1.5V output, connecting Pin 5 (VOUT) directly to the internal 0.6V reference. This eliminates external resistors, reduces BOM cost, improves accuracy by removing resistor tolerance errors, and simplifies PCB layout-unlike the adjustable LTC3406 variant which requires external R1/R2.
How does Burst Mode® operation improve efficiency at light loads in the LTC3406ES5-1.5#TRPBF?
Burst Mode® operation in the LTC3406ES5-1.5#TRPBF reduces quiescent current to 20µA by disabling switching and most internal circuitry between regulated bursts. Each burst delivers just enough energy to maintain output voltage, then the IC enters sleep mode until VOUT droops below threshold. This avoids continuous switching losses at loads <100mA-boosting efficiency from ~65% (PWM mode) to >85% at 1mA, extending battery life in standby.
What thermal considerations apply when using the LTC3406ES5-1.5#TRPBF in dropout mode?
In dropout (100% duty cycle), power dissipation is dominated by ILOAD² × RDS(ON) of the P-channel switch. At 600mA and 70°C ambient, RDS(ON) ≈ 0.52Ω yields ~187mW loss. With θJA = 250°C/W, junction temperature reaches ~117°C-within the 125°C limit. Adequate copper pour on GND and VIN pads is essential; exceeding 125°C triggers thermal shutdown.
Can the LTC3406ES5-1.5#TRPBF operate from a 2.5V input supply?
Yes. The LTC3406ES5-1.5#TRPBF is specified for 2.5V to 5.5V input. At 2.5V, it sustains 1.5V output via 100% duty cycle, though max output current is reduced (~300mA) due to higher RDS(ON) and thermal constraints. Efficiency remains >85% at 100mA, making it viable for end-of-life battery operation in portable systems.
