Product details
Overview
LTC3410ESC6-1.2 from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a fixed-output, monolithic synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator delivering 1.2V at up to 300mA from a 2.5V–5.5V input. It features 2.25MHz constant-frequency current-mode control, 96% peak efficiency, ±2% output voltage accuracy, and operates in Burst Mode with 26µA quiescent current-ideal for Li-ion-powered portable instrumentation requiring stable low-voltage rail generation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3410ESC6-1.2 datasheet, LTC3410ESC6-1.2 pinout, LTC3410ESC6-1.2 application, or LTC3410ESC6-1.2 equivalent, key selection factors include its SC70-6 package footprint, 1.2V fixed output with 0.8V internal reference, 100% duty-cycle dropout capability, and compatibility with ceramic input/output capacitors without external diode.
Technical Context
The LTC3410ESC6-1.2 implements a constant-frequency (2.25MHz), current-mode synchronous buck architecture with integrated P-channel high-side and N-channel low-side MOSFETs. Its feedback loop uses an internal 0.8V reference and senses VOUT directly at Pin 6 (VOUT), eliminating external resistor dividers required by adjustable versions.
Burst Mode operation reduces quiescent current to 26µA under light loads while maintaining low output ripple (20mVP-P). Overtemperature protection disables switching above ~150°C, and undervoltage lockout activates below 1.94V (falling) or 2.3V (rising).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.2V ±2% at 100mA load; enables direct powering of core logic or low-VCC analog circuits without trimming. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA continuous; supports moderate-power microcontrollers, sensors, or RF front-end bias rails. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V; compatible with single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), USB 5V, or regulated 3.3V supplies. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.25MHz (typ); permits use of compact 2.2–4.7µH inductors and 4.7µF ceramic capacitors for minimal PCB area. |
| Quiescent Current | 26µA in Burst Mode; extends battery runtime in standby or sleep states of portable devices. |
| Duty Cycle Limit | 100% dropout operation; maintains regulation down to VIN ≈ VOUT + ILOAD × RDS(ON), critical for end-of-battery-life operation. |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 250°C/W (SC70-6); requires thermal-aware layout but supports 300mA at 70°C ambient without derating. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-lead SC70 (2.0mm × 1.25mm × 0.9mm, 0.65mm pitch), surface-mount, lead-free compatible.
| 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. |
| GND (Pins 2, 5) | Power and signal ground | Dual GND pins reduce ground impedance and improve EMI performance; connect to common ground plane. |
| SW (Pin 3) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt square-wave current; requires short, wide trace to minimize ringing. |
| VIN (Pin 4) | Main power input | Accepts 2.5–5.5V; requires local 4.7µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| VOUT (Pin 6) | Fixed-output feedback | Internally connected to 0.8V reference via precision divider; connects directly to (+) terminal of COUT for remote sensing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Eliminates external Schottky diode; improves efficiency >5% at medium loads and reduces thermal stress. |
| Ceramic capacitor stability | No ESR dependency for loop stability; enables ultra-low-noise, low-profile designs with X5R/X7R MLCCs. |
| Burst Mode ripple control | 20mVP-P output ripple at light loads; avoids audible noise and meets tight analog supply requirements. |
| Low dropout operation | 100% duty cycle allows VOUT regulation even when VIN drops within ~100mV of VOUT (at 300mA). |
| Integrated protection | Overtemperature shutdown and UVLO prevent damage during fault or brownout conditions. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62231DRYR | 1.2V fixed, 300mA, 3MHz, 2.05–6.0V input; higher fSW enables smaller L/C but higher gate charge loss. | Requires 2.05V min input; less suitable for deep Li-ion discharge (2.5V cutoff). | Prefer for space-constrained designs needing >3MHz switching; verify thermal margin at 300mA in DRY package. |
| MAX17222ETA+ | 1.2V fixed, 500mA, 2.5–5.5V input, 2.2MHz; includes power-good flag and tighter load regulation (±1%). | Higher IOUT rating and PG output enable more complex sequencing in multi-rail systems. | Choose when system requires power-good signaling or headroom for future load increases beyond 300mA. |
Compared with LTC3410ESC6-1.2, TPS62231DRYR offers higher frequency but reduced low-input-voltage headroom, while MAX17222ETA+ provides greater current capacity and sequencing support at the cost of larger footprint and higher BOM count.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the LTC3410ESC6-1.2?
The LTC3410ESC6-1.2 delivers up to 300mA continuously under typical conditions (TA ≤ 85°C, proper layout, 4.7µH inductor, 4.7µF ceramic capacitors). Peak switch current is rated at 380mA minimum, and thermal limits (θJA = 250°C/W) allow full 300mA operation at 70°C ambient with 2.7V input. Derating is recommended above 85°C ambient or with poor airflow.
Does the LTC3410ESC6-1.2 require an external feedback resistor network?
No. The LTC3410ESC6-1.2 is a fixed-output variant with internal resistor division tied to the 0.8V reference, so Pin 6 functions as VOUT-not VFB-and connects directly to the positive terminal of the output capacitor. External resistors are unnecessary and would disrupt regulation.
Can the LTC3410ESC6-1.2 operate with input voltage as low as 2.5V while regulating 1.2V output?
Yes. The LTC3410ESC6-1.2 supports 100% duty-cycle operation, enabling regulation down to VIN ≈ VOUT + ILOAD × RDS(ON). At 300mA and 2.5V input, RDS(ON) of the P-channel switch is ~0.9Ω (typ), yielding ~1.0V dropout-well within specification. Efficiency drops in dropout but regulation is maintained.
What is the purpose of the dual GND pins (Pins 2 and 5) on the LTC3410ESC6-1.2 SC70 package?
The dual GND pins reduce ground path impedance and separate high-current power return (from SW and VIN) from sensitive signal ground (for RUN and VOUT sensing). This minimizes ground bounce, improves load transient response, and lowers EMI-critical for noise-sensitive analog or RF subsystems powered by the LTC3410ESC6-1.2.
How does Burst Mode operation affect output voltage ripple in the LTC3410ESC6-1.2?
In Burst Mode, the LTC3410ESC6-1.2 delivers energy in short, high-efficiency bursts followed by sleep intervals, resulting in 20mVP-P typical output ripple at light loads. This is significantly lower than conventional PFM regulators and avoids audible coil whine, making it suitable for powering noise-sensitive analog circuitry alongside digital loads.
