Product details
Overview
LTC3406ES5-1.8#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 1.8V output from 2.5V–5.5V input. It features 1.5MHz constant-frequency current-mode control, 96% peak efficiency, 20µA operating quiescent current, and 100% duty-cycle low-dropout operation-optimized for single Li-ion battery-powered portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3406ES5-1.8#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3406ES5-1.8#TRPBF pinout, LTC3406ES5-1.8#TRPBF application, or LTC3406ES5-1.8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 1.8V ±2.7% output accuracy at 600mA, guaranteed -40°C to +85°C operation, integrated P/N-channel MOSFETs with RDS(ON) ≤ 0.5Ω, and Burst Mode® support for sub-1mA load efficiency.
Technical Context
The LTC3406ES5-1.8#TRPBF employs a constant-frequency, current-mode architecture with internal slope compensation to prevent subharmonic oscillation above 40% duty cycle. Its dual-MOSFET synchronous rectification eliminates external Schottky diode requirements while enabling 100% duty-cycle operation for extended battery runtime during input voltage sag.
Burst Mode® dynamically disables switching and circuitry during light loads, reducing supply current to 20µA and maintaining >85% efficiency down to 0.1mA output. Short-circuit protection folds oscillator frequency to 210kHz to limit inductor current and prevent thermal runaway.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LTC3406ES5-1.8#TRPBF?
The LTC3406ES5-1.8#TRPBF delivers up to 600mA continuous output current at 1.8V under typical conditions (VIN = 3.6V, TA = 25°C). Derating applies at higher ambient temperatures or lower input voltages-e.g., maximum output drops to ~400mA at VIN = 2.7V and TA = 85°C per Figure 2 in the datasheet. The device includes overtemperature protection that disables switching if junction temperature exceeds ~150°C.
Does the LTC3406ES5-1.8#TRPBF require an external Schottky diode?
No, the LTC3406ES5-1.8#TRPBF does not require an external Schottky diode. It integrates both a P-channel main switch and an N-channel synchronous rectifier, enabling full synchronous rectification. This eliminates conduction losses associated with external diodes and improves efficiency-especially at higher load currents-while reducing board area and component count.
What is the function of the RUN pin on the LTC3406ES5-1.8#TRPBF?
The RUN pin (Pin 1) controls enable/disable functionality of the LTC3406ES5-1.8#TRPBF. Driving RUN ≥1.5V enables regulation; pulling RUN ≤0.3V places the device in shutdown mode, reducing supply current to ≤1µA. RUN must never be left floating, as indeterminate voltage may cause erratic startup or increased leakage. A pull-up resistor to VIN is recommended for default-enable configurations.
Can the LTC3406ES5-1.8#TRPBF operate with input voltage below 2.5V?
No-the absolute minimum input voltage for the LTC3406ES5-1.8#TRPBF is 2.5V, as specified in Absolute Maximum Ratings. Operation below this threshold risks improper biasing of internal circuits and undefined behavior. In dropout, the device supports 100% duty cycle down to VIN ≈ VOUT (e.g., 2.0V input for 1.8V output), but only when VIN remains ≥2.5V. Below 2.5V, the part will cease regulation and may latch off.
How does Burst Mode® improve efficiency at light loads for the LTC3406ES5-1.8#TRPBF?
Burst Mode® improves light-load efficiency by temporarily disabling switching and non-essential circuitry, reducing quiescent current to 20µA. During each burst, the internal switches deliver a controlled energy packet (~200mA peak inductor current), then enter sleep until output voltage droop triggers the next burst. This avoids continuous switching losses, sustaining >85% efficiency down to 0.1mA load-critical for battery longevity in standby or sensor-monitoring modes.
