Product details
Overview
LTC3410ESC6-1.8 from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-efficiency, monolithic synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator in SC70-6 package, delivering up to 300mA output current with fixed 1.8V output, 2.25MHz switching frequency, and ±2% output voltage accuracy over –40°C to 85°C. It operates from 2.5V to 5.5V input and supports 100% duty cycle for low-dropout operation in Li-ion battery-powered portable systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3410ESC6-1.8 datasheet, LTC3410ESC6-1.8 pinout, LTC3410ESC6-1.8 application, or LTC3410ESC6-1.8 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed alternatives, and supply-chain support details - all specific to the fixed-output 1.8V variant in SC70-6.
Technical Context
The LTC3410ESC6-1.8 implements constant-frequency, current-mode control with internal P-channel main switch (RDS(ON) = 0.75Ω typ) and N-channel synchronous rectifier (RDS(ON) = 0.55Ω typ), enabling up to 96% peak efficiency and eliminating external Schottky diodes. Its 2.25MHz oscillator allows compact 2.2–4.7µH inductors and ceramic capacitors.
Burst Mode® operation delivers 26µA quiescent current at light loads while maintaining low output ripple (20mVP-P), and undervoltage lockout (UVLO) activates at 2.3V (rising) with thermal shutdown protection. The fixed 1.8V output is internally regulated via a precision 0.8V reference and resistive divider network tied to VOUT pin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8V ±2% at 100mA load - ensures stable core logic supply for low-voltage microcontrollers and sensors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V) and USB-powered systems without external LDO pre-regulation. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.25MHz (typ) - enables use of sub-5mm surface-mount inductors and reduces output capacitor size vs lower-frequency regulators. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA continuous - sufficient for powering RF transceivers, display drivers, or sensor signal chains in portable devices. |
| Quiescent Current | 26µA in Burst Mode - extends battery runtime in standby modes (e.g., wireless modems in sleep state). |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - enables full system power gating during deep-sleep or off-state with negligible leakage drain. |
| Efficiency Peak | 96% at VIN=3.6V, VOUT=1.8V, IOUT=100mA - minimizes thermal rise and PCB area in space-constrained handheld designs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SC70-6 (6-lead plastic SC70), 2.0mm × 1.25mm × 0.9mm profile - suitable for ultra-compact portable PCBs with tight height constraints.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RUN (Pin 1) | Enable control input | Logic-high (>1.5V) enables regulation; logic-low (<0.3V) forces shutdown with <1µA draw - used for system-level power sequencing. |
| GND (Pins 2, 5) | Power ground reference | Dual GND pins reduce ground impedance and improve EMI performance - must be connected to low-impedance PCB ground plane. |
| SW (Pin 3) | Switch node | Connects to inductor and internal P/N MOSFET drains - high dv/dt node requiring short, wide trace routing away from sensitive analog signals. |
| VIN (Pin 4) | Main input supply | Accepts 2.5–5.5V input; requires local 4.7µF ceramic decoupling - high-current path demanding low-ESR capacitor placement adjacent to pin. |
| VOUT (Pin 6) | Fixed-output feedback | Internally connected to 0.8V reference and precision divider - no external resistor needed; enables remote sensing when routed to load point. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Eliminates external Schottky diode - reduces BOM count, improves efficiency by ~5–8% vs asynchronous designs at medium loads. |
| Ceramic capacitor stability | No ESR dependency for loop stability - allows use of low-ESR X5R/X7R ceramics for <20mVP-P ripple and minimal footprint. |
| 100% duty cycle operation | Maintains regulation down to VIN ≈ VOUT - extends usable battery life in Li-ion discharge tail (e.g., 2.7V → 1.8V at end-of-life). |
| Burst Mode® low-IQ | 26µA operating IQ - achieves >85% efficiency at 1mA load, critical for always-on sensor nodes and IoT edge devices. |
| Overtemperature protection | Thermal shutdown at ~150°C junction - prevents catastrophic failure during sustained overload or poor heatsinking in sealed enclosures. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62231DRVR | Fixed 1.8V, 300mA, 3MHz switching, 17µA IQ, WSON-6 (2.0×2.0mm) | Higher frequency enables smaller inductors but tighter layout tolerances; lower IQ benefits ultra-low-power sleep modes. | Prefer for new designs targeting lowest possible quiescent current and where 3MHz EMI profile fits system filtering. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the LTC3410ESC6-1.8?
The LTC3410ESC6-1.8 delivers up to 300mA continuous output current at VIN = 3V and ambient temperatures ≤85°C, as validated in the datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table under "300mA Output Current at VIN = 3V". Derating is required above 70°C ambient or below 2.7V input due to RDS(ON) increase and thermal limits.
Does the LTC3410ESC6-1.8 require external feedback resistors?
No - the LTC3410ESC6-1.8 is a fixed-output variant with internal resistive divider connected to the VOUT pin (Pin 6), eliminating external resistors. This simplifies layout and improves accuracy versus adjustable versions like the LTC3410ESC6, which require external R1/R2.
What package type and dimensions does the LTC3410ESC6-1.8 use?
The LTC3410ESC6-1.8 uses the SC70-6 package: 6-lead plastic SC70 with 2.0mm × 1.25mm body size and 0.9mm max height. Pin pitch is 0.65mm, and the package marking code for this variant is LCNC, per the manufacturer's ordering information table.
How does Burst Mode® operation affect efficiency at light loads for the LTC3410ESC6-1.8?
In Burst Mode®, the LTC3410ESC6-1.8 reduces quiescent current to 26µA and operates intermittently, achieving >85% efficiency at 1mA load (VIN = 3.6V). This avoids the efficiency collapse seen in forced-continuous-mode regulators, making it ideal for standby power in always-on portable devices.
Is the LTC3410ESC6-1.8 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes - the LTC3410ESC6-1.8 is offered in lead-free versions with #PBF or #TRPBF suffixes, compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. Lead-free part marking follows Analog Devices' standard scheme and is documented in the official package marking guide.
