Product details
Overview
LTC3411AEDD#PBF from Analog Devices is a 1.25A, 4MHz synchronous step-down DC/DC converter operating from 2.5V to 5.5V input, delivering adjustable 0.8V–5.5V output with internal 0.15Ω P-channel and 0.13Ω N-channel MOSFETs in a 3mm × 3mm DFN-10 package. It supports Burst Mode (IQ = 40µA), forced continuous, and pulse-skip operation for notebook computers, digital cameras, and handheld instruments.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3411AEDD#PBF datasheet, LTC3411AEDD#PBF pinout, LTC3411AEDD#PBF application, or LTC3411AEDD#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4MHz max switching frequency enabling sub-1mm-height magnetics, ±7% PGOOD accuracy, 0.8V feedback reference, 1.25A peak switch current limit, and support for prebiased startup - all validated for industrial-grade –40°C to 125°C operation.
Technical Context
The LTC3411AEDD#PBF implements a constant-frequency current-mode control architecture with external RT resistor or SYNC clock synchronization, enabling precise transient response tuning via ITH compensation. Its dual-power-rail design separates PVIN (main power) from SVIN (signal power), requiring SVIN ≥ PVIN and independent decoupling to PGND and SGND respectively.
Three low-load operating modes are selected via the SYNC/MODE pin: Burst Mode (IQ = 40µA, 25mVP-P ripple), pulse skipping (reduced EMI), or forced continuous (fixed-frequency ripple). Dropout operation maintains 100% duty cycle with P-channel MOSFET fully on, while undervoltage lockout disables operation below 2.1V VIN.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, USB, and logic-supply rails without external LDO pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.8V to 5.5V - set by external resistive divider; 0.8V feedback reference enables core voltage regulation for modern processors. |
| Max Switching Frequency | Up to 4MHz - allows use of 1.0–2.2µH inductors ≤1mm height and compact ceramic capacitors. |
| Peak Switch Current Limit | 1.6A to 2.6A - ensures robust short-circuit protection across temperature; typical 2.1A at TA = 25°C. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 0.784V to 0.816V (±2%) - tight tolerance enables <±1% output accuracy with precision resistors. |
| Quiescent Current (Burst) | 40µA typical - extends battery runtime in standby mode without compromising wake-up response. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - enables true system-level power gating for zero-leakage sleep states. |
| Power Good Accuracy | ±7% trip threshold - provides reliable rail monitoring for FPGA/CPU sequencing with 40µs blanking delay. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-lead 3mm × 3mm plastic DFN (DD) with exposed PGND pad (Pin 11), rated for –40°C to 125°C junction temperature and θJA = 43°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SHDN/RT (1) | Shutdown enable & oscillator timing | Pulling to SVIN disables device; resistor to GND sets fOSC (125kΩ → 2.5MHz); no external pull-up required. |
| SYNC/MODE (2) | Mode selection & clock sync input | Tied to SVIN = Burst Mode; SGND = pulse skip; SVIN/2 = forced continuous; external clock accepted 0.4–4MHz. |
| SGND (3) | Signal ground reference | Reference for VFB, ITH, PGOOD; must be isolated from PGND except at single-point star ground. |
| SW (4) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; swings from PVIN to PGND; requires low-inductance layout to minimize ringing. |
| PGND (5) | Main power ground | Return path for CIN, COUT, and exposed pad; must be solid copper pour under DFN body. |
| PVIN (6) | Main power input | Supplies high-side P-MOSFET; requires local 1–10µF ceramic capacitor to PGND. |
| SVIN (7) | Signal power supply | Powers internal analog/digital circuitry; must be ≥ PVIN and decoupled to SGND with 0.1–1µF ceramic. |
| PGOOD (8) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Pulled low when VOUT deviates >±7%; 15–30Ω pull-down resistance; 40/105µs blanking delays prevent false triggers. |
| VFB (9) | Feedback input | Compares divided VOUT to 0.8V reference; ±0.1µA input bias enables high-impedance dividers. |
| ITH (10) | Error amplifier output & current limit control | 0.4–1.4V range sets peak inductor current; used for loop compensation and soft-start ramp. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Integrated 0.15Ω P-MOSFET + 0.13Ω N-MOSFET eliminates external diode, enabling >96% efficiency at 1.25A. |
| Burst Mode operation | 40µA quiescent current with 25mVP-P output ripple - optimal for battery-powered systems with intermittent load profiles. |
| Prebiased output startup | Supports VOUT precharged up to 3V without reverse current flow - essential for hot-swap and multi-rail sequencing. |
| Stable with ceramic capacitors | No ESR dependency in control loop - enables use of low-ESR, high-reliability MLCCs without stability compensation. |
| 100% duty cycle dropout | P-MOSFET remains fully on as VIN approaches VOUT - maintains regulation down to VIN = VOUT + RDS(ON) × ILOAD. |
| Short-circuit protection | Current-mode architecture limits peak switch current to 2.1A typical - prevents thermal runaway during output faults. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62130ARGTR | 3.6V–17V input, 3A output, 2.5MHz fixed frequency; no SYNC pin; lower IQ (18µA) but no prebias support. | Better for wide-input industrial supplies; unsuitable for sub-3V battery inputs or precharged outputs. | Select when input exceeds 5.5V or higher current (>1.25A) is needed; verify PGOOD compatibility with host sequencer. |
| MAX17503GCU+T | 4.5V–60V input, 2.5A output, 100kHz–2.2MHz adjustable frequency; requires external MOSFETs; higher BOM cost. | Targeted at high-voltage industrial/motor drives; incompatible with low-VIN battery systems. | Choose only for >12V input rails; not a drop-in replacement due to external FET requirement and different pinout. |
Compared with TPS62130ARGTR and MAX17503GCU+T, the LTC3411AEDD#PBF uniquely combines sub-3V operation, prebias startup, and 4MHz capability in a 3mm × 3mm DFN - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-powered applications where input voltage headroom is minimal and sequencing integrity is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported switching frequency for LTC3411AEDD#PBF?
The LTC3411AEDD#PBF supports up to 4MHz switching frequency, guaranteed by design (not production tested) and subject to duty cycle limitations per the formula fO(MAX) ≈ 6.67 × VOUT/VIN(MAX) MHz. At 2.5V input and 1.2V output, this yields ~3.2MHz practical maximum. Operation above 2.8MHz requires careful layout and low-ESR/ESL components to maintain stability and efficiency.
Does LTC3411AEDD#PBF support prebiased output startup?
Yes, the LTC3411AEDD#PBF explicitly supports prebiased output startup, allowing VOUT to be precharged up to 3V before enabling the regulator. During startup, the internal synchronous switches remain off until VFB reaches regulation, preventing reverse current flow and ensuring safe sequencing in multi-rail systems without external diodes or complex control logic.
What is the purpose of separate PVIN and SVIN pins on LTC3411AEDD#PBF?
The LTC3411AEDD#PBF uses separate PVIN (main power) and SVIN (signal power) pins to isolate high-current switching paths from sensitive analog circuitry. PVIN supplies the power MOSFETs and must be decoupled to PGND; SVIN powers the error amplifier, oscillators, and logic, requiring decoupling to SGND. SVIN must be ≥ PVIN to ensure proper gate drive and reference stability - a key design constraint verified in all application circuits.
How does the SYNC/MODE pin configure operating modes on LTC3411AEDD#PBF?
The SYNC/MODE pin on LTC3411AEDD#PBF selects three distinct low-load modes: tied to SVIN enables Burst Mode (40µA IQ); tied to SGND enables pulse skipping; biased at SVIN/2 enables forced continuous conduction. When driven by an external clock (0.4–4MHz), it synchronizes switching and defaults to pulse skip. This pin directly controls comparator thresholds in the burst clamp and oscillator logic - no external resistors or configuration registers are needed.
What thermal considerations apply to LTC3411AEDD#PBF in the 3mm × 3mm DFN package?
The LTC3411AEDD#PBF in the DD package has θJA = 43°C/W. With 1.25A output at 3.6V input/1.8V output, typical power dissipation is ~180mW, resulting in ~8°C rise above ambient. Full thermal performance requires soldering the exposed PGND pad (Pin 11) to a minimum 100mm² internal or external copper plane. Derating is recommended above 85°C ambient; junction temperature must not exceed 125°C, enforced by internal thermal shutdown.
