Product details
Overview
LTC3406ES5#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 output current with 96% peak efficiency, 1.5MHz fixed switching frequency, and 2.5V–5.5V input range. It integrates P-channel and N-channel MOSFETs, requires no external Schottky diode, and supports low-dropout operation via 100% duty cycle - ideal for single Li-Ion battery-powered portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3406ES5#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3406ES5#TRPBF pinout, LTC3406ES5#TRPBF application, or LTC3406ES5#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20µA operating quiescent current, 0.6V feedback reference enabling sub-1.5V outputs, Burst Mode® operation for light-load efficiency, thermal shutdown protection, and compatibility with ceramic input/output capacitors in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The LTC3406ES5#TRPBF employs constant-frequency current-mode control with internal slope compensation, enabling stable operation across 0–100% duty cycle. Its dual-MOSFET architecture (0.4Ω P-FET RDS(ON), 0.35Ω N-FET RDS(ON)) eliminates external diode losses and supports high-efficiency regulation down to 1.5V output (fixed version).
Burst Mode® operation reduces quiescent current to 20µA at light loads by intermittently enabling switching cycles, while RUN pin control (0.3V–1.5V threshold) enables precise enable/disable sequencing. Short-circuit protection includes oscillator foldback to 210kHz, and overtemperature shutdown activates at ~150°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - supports full discharge curve of single Li-Ion cell (2.7V–4.2V) without dropout interruption. |
| Output Current | 600mA continuous - sufficient for core logic rails in cellular handsets and digital cameras. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.5MHz (typ) - enables use of compact 2.2µH inductors and low-ESR ceramic capacitors. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.6V ±15mV - allows precise output programming from 0.6V to 5.5V using external resistor divider. |
| Quiescent Current | 20µA in active mode - extends battery runtime in standby states of portable instrumentation. |

Pinout & Package
Package: 5-lead TSOT-23 (ThinSOT™), 1mm profile, RoHS-compliant, thermal resistance θJA = 250°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RUN (Pin 1) | Enable/Shutdown Control Input | Logic-level input: ≥1.5V enables regulation; ≤0.3V forces shutdown with ≤1µA supply current. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power Ground Reference | Primary return path for input capacitor, inductor, and internal switch currents - must be low-impedance. |
| SW (Pin 3) | Switch Node | Connection point for external inductor; carries high dv/dt and pulsed current - critical for EMI and layout integrity. |
| VIN (Pin 4) | Main Power Input | Supplies internal circuitry and switches; requires local 2.2µF ceramic decoupling directly to GND (Pin 2). |
| VOUT (Pin 5) | Fixed Output Feedback | Internally connected to resistive divider for 1.8V output - no external resistors needed; used for remote sensing in fixed versions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous Buck Architecture | Integrated P- and N-channel MOSFETs eliminate external Schottky diode, reducing BOM count and improving efficiency above 200mA. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62231DRVR | 3MHz switching frequency, 0.65V reference, 400mA output, 1.8V fixed output; smaller 2mm × 2mm WSON package. | Higher frequency enables smaller passives but increases gate-drive losses at >300mA; lower max current limits use in higher-power peripherals. | Select when board space is critical and load current stays below 400mA; verify thermal performance under 100% duty cycle. |
| MAX17222ETA+T | 1.2MHz frequency, 0.6V reference, 500mA output, 1.8V fixed output; integrated soft-start, lower 15µA quiescent current in shutdown. | Lower max output current and slightly reduced efficiency (94% peak) constrain use in high-transient camera or modem loads. | Prefer for ultra-low-power sensor nodes where shutdown IQ <0.5µA is mandatory; confirm SW node ringing behavior with ceramic caps. |
Compared with TPS62231DRVR and MAX17222ETA+T, the LTC3406ES5#TRPBF offers higher output current (600mA), superior light-load efficiency via Burst Mode®, and proven robustness in Li-Ion dropout conditions - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained portable systems requiring field-proven reliability.

FAQ
What is the function of the RUN pin on the LTC3406ES5#TRPBF?
The RUN pin (Pin 1) controls device enable/disable state. Applying ≥1.5V enables regulation; ≤0.3V forces shutdown with ≤1µA supply current. The LTC3406ES5#TRPBF must not be left floating - tie to VIN through a pull-up or drive actively. This pin supports power sequencing in multi-rail systems and enables system-level wake/sleep control without external logic.
Does the LTC3406ES5#TRPBF require an external Schottky diode?
No. The LTC3406ES5#TRPBF integrates both P-channel and N-channel MOSFETs in a synchronous buck topology, eliminating the need for an external Schottky diode. This reduces conduction losses, improves efficiency (up to 96%), and simplifies PCB layout. The internal synchronous rectification also enables 100% duty cycle operation for low-dropout performance.
What output voltage does the LTC3406ES5#TRPBF deliver?
The LTC3406ES5#TRPBF is the fixed 1.8V output variant. Its VOUT pin (Pin 5) connects internally to a precision resistive divider referenced to the 0.6V bandgap, delivering 1.800V ±45mV at 100mA load across –40°C to +85°C. No external feedback resistors are required - simplifying design and improving accuracy versus adjustable versions.
Can the LTC3406ES5#TRPBF operate from a 2.5V input?
Yes. The LTC3406ES5#TRPBF supports input voltages from 2.5V to 5.5V, making it compatible with deeply discharged Li-Ion cells (down to ~2.7V typical). At 2.5V input, maximum output current is reduced due to increased conduction losses and duty-cycle limitations - consult Figure 2 in the datasheet for derated current vs. input voltage curves.
How does Burst Mode® operation improve efficiency in the LTC3406ES5#TRPBF?
Burst Mode® reduces quiescent current to 20µA at light loads by disabling switching until output voltage droop triggers a regulated burst of cycles. Each burst delivers just enough energy to restore regulation, then returns to sleep. This preserves >85% efficiency at 1mA load - critical for battery life in standby or sensor-monitoring applications using the LTC3406ES5#TRPBF.
