Product details
Overview
LTC3406ES5#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-efficiency monolithic synchronous buck regulator in a 5-lead TSOT-23 package, delivering up to 600mA output current with 1.5MHz fixed switching frequency, 2.5V–5.5V input range, and 1.8V fixed output voltage. It operates in Burst Mode® for ultra-low quiescent current (20µA active, ≤1µA shutdown) and supports 100% duty cycle for low-dropout operation in single Li-Ion battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3406ES5#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC3406ES5#TRMPBF pinout, LTC3406ES5#TRMPBF application, or LTC3406ES5#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 1.8V output, integrated P/N-channel MOSFETs, 0.6V feedback reference, thermal shutdown, and compatibility with ceramic input/output capacitors in space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The LTC3406ES5#TRMPBF implements a constant-frequency, current-mode control architecture with internal slope compensation to prevent subharmonic oscillation at high duty cycles. Its dual-MOSFET synchronous rectification eliminates external Schottky diode requirements and improves efficiency across load range.
Burst Mode® operation dynamically disables power switches during light loads, reducing supply current to 20µA while maintaining regulation; oscillator frequency folds back to ~210kHz under short-circuit conditions for safe current limiting. The device integrates overtemperature protection and uses an internal 0.6V reference for precise output voltage setting via external resistor divider (adjustable version) or internal divider (fixed-output variants).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8V ±2.7% (1.746V–1.854V) at 100mA load - ensures stable core logic supply for low-voltage microcontrollers and baseband ICs. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - fully supports single-cell Li-ion battery discharge profile (2.7V–4.2V) without external LDO pre-regulation. |
| Max Output Current | 600mA continuous - sufficient for RF transceivers, digital signal processors, and memory subsystems in handheld devices. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.5MHz (typ), 1.2–1.8MHz (min–max) - enables use of compact 2.2µH inductors and low-ESR ceramic capacitors to minimize PCB area. |
| Quiescent Current | 20µA in active Burst Mode®, ≤1µA in shutdown - extends battery runtime in standby and sleep modes of portable electronics. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.6V ±2.5% (0.585V–0.615V) over –40°C to +85°C - enables accurate low-output-voltage regulation with minimal resistor tolerance impact. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at TJ ≈ 150°C - protects die during sustained high-power operation in thermally constrained enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-lead TSOT-23 (ThinSOT™), 1mm height, RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RUN (Pin 1) | Enable/Shutdown Control Input | Logic-high (>1.5V) enables regulation; logic-low (<0.3V) forces shutdown with ≤1µA supply current - allows system-level power sequencing and wake-up control. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power and Signal Ground Reference | Common return path for input capacitor, output capacitor, and internal switch current - must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling into feedback node. |
| SW (Pin 3) | Switch Node Connection | Drain connection of internal P-channel (high-side) and N-channel (low-side) MOSFETs - routes high di/dt switching current to external inductor; requires tight layout to reduce EMI. |
| VIN (Pin 4) | Main Power Input | Supplies gate drive and bias circuitry; requires local 2.2µF+ ceramic decoupling directly between VIN and GND to suppress high-frequency ripple and ensure stable startup. |
| VOUT (Pin 5) | Fixed-Output Feedback Sense | Internally connected to midpoint of precision resistive divider - provides regulated 1.8V output without external components; not adjustable on this variant. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous Buck Architecture | Integrated P- and N-channel MOSFETs eliminate external Schottky diode, reducing conduction losses and board area - achieves up to 96% peak efficiency at 600mA. |
| Burst Mode® Operation | Reduces quiescent current to 20µA at light loads while maintaining output regulation - critical for >100-hour standby time in battery-powered instrumentation and modems. |
| 100% Duty Cycle Capability | Enables dropout operation down to VIN = VOUT + ILOAD × RDS(ON) - sustains 1.8V output even as Li-ion battery discharges below 2.5V, maximizing usable battery capacity. |
| Current-Mode Control with Slope Compensation | Ensures stable loop response across full duty cycle range (including >40%), preventing subharmonic oscillation without sacrificing peak inductor current capability. |
| Thermal Protection | Internal junction temperature sensing disables both power switches when TJ reaches ~150°C - prevents permanent damage during overload or poor heatsinking conditions. |

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 1.8V output, 1.8MHz switching, 600mA rating, 17µA quiescent current; uses different pinout (SW/GND/VIN/EN/VFB) and requires external feedback for adjustment. | Optimized for higher-frequency operation and slightly lower IQ; lacks 100% duty cycle support - less suitable for deep battery discharge scenarios. | Select if board layout allows re-routing for DRY package and system prioritizes 1.8MHz switching over dropout performance. |
| RT8059GJ6 | Fixed 1.8V output, 1.5MHz switching, 600mA rating, 25µA quiescent current; includes soft-start and power-good flag; same TSOT-23-5 pinout but different pin assignment (VIN/GND/SW/EN/VFB). | Offers PG signal for system monitoring and controlled soft-start to limit inrush; no Burst Mode® - efficiency drops faster below 10mA than LTC3406ES5#TRMPBF. | Select when power-good indication or inrush control is required and 25µA IQ is acceptable for standby duration targets. |
Compared with TPS62231DRYR and RT8059GJ6, the LTC3406ES5#TRMPBF delivers superior light-load efficiency via Burst Mode®, guaranteed 100% duty cycle for extended battery life, and proven robustness in portable Li-ion applications - making it optimal where ultra-low IQ and dropout resilience are primary design constraints.

FAQ
What is the output voltage of the LTC3406ES5#TRMPBF?
The LTC3406ES5#TRMPBF is a fixed-output variant delivering 1.8V ±2.7% (1.746V–1.854V) at 100mA load across –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This value is set internally via a precision resistive divider; no external components are required to configure the output voltage of the LTC3406ES5#TRMPBF.
Does the LTC3406ES5#TRMPBF require an external Schottky diode?
No, the LTC3406ES5#TRMPBF does not require an external Schottky diode. It integrates both P-channel (high-side) and N-channel (low-side) synchronous MOSFETs, enabling full synchronous rectification. This architecture eliminates conduction losses associated with external diodes and contributes to the LTC3406ES5#TRMPBF's up to 96% peak efficiency.
What is the minimum input voltage the LTC3406ES5#TRMPBF can operate at?
The LTC3406ES5#TRMPBF operates down to 2.5V input voltage per absolute maximum ratings, and functions reliably across its full 2.5V–5.5V input range. At low input voltages near 2.5V, output current capability decreases due to reduced headroom; for example, at VIN = 2.7V and VOUT = 1.8V, maximum continuous output remains 600mA but thermal limits may apply depending on PCB layout and ambient conditions - verified in the LTC3406ES5#TRMPBF datasheet Figure 2.
How does Burst Mode® operation improve battery life in the LTC3406ES5#TRMPBF?
Burst Mode® operation in the LTC3406ES5#TRMPBF reduces quiescent current to 20µA during light loads by intermittently enabling the power switches only when output voltage droop exceeds regulation threshold. This significantly extends battery runtime in standby or idle states - for instance, in a wireless modem using LTC3406ES5#TRMPBF, 20µA IQ enables multi-week operation on a single coin-cell-equivalent charge without compromising fast wake-up response.
Is the LTC3406ES5#TRMPBF pin-compatible with other variants in the LTC3406 family?
Yes, the LTC3406ES5#TRMPBF shares the identical 5-lead TSOT-23 (S5) package and pinout with LTC3406ES5-1.5#TRMPBF and adjustable LTC3406ES5#TRMPBF variants. Pin assignments (RUN, GND, SW, VIN, VOUT/VFB) are consistent across all S5-packaged LTC3406 versions, enabling drop-in replacement in layouts designed for the same footprint - though output voltage and feedback configuration differ per variant.
