Product details
Overview
LTC3411EDD#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 4MHz, synchronous step-down DC/DC converter with integrated 0.11Ω P-channel and N-channel MOSFETs, delivering up to 1.25A output current at adjustable 0.8V–5V output voltage from a 2.63V–5.5V input. It features Burst Mode® operation for ultra-low quiescent current (60μA active, ≤1μA shutdown), current-mode control for fast transient response, and support for ceramic output capacitors - deployed in space-constrained portable power rails for notebook computers and digital cameras.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3411EDD#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3411EDD#TRPBF pinout, LTC3411EDD#TRPBF application, or LTC3411EDD#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 10-lead 3mm × 3mm DFN package, 4MHz max switching frequency enabling sub-2mm-height magnetics, 1.6A peak switch current rating, ±7.5% PGOOD threshold accuracy, and SYNC/MODE pin configurability for Burst Mode®, pulse-skipping, or forced continuous operation.
Technical Context
The LTC3411EDD#TRPBF employs a constant-frequency current-mode architecture with external RT resistor programming (up to 4MHz) or external clock synchronization via the SYNC/MODE pin. Its dual-MOSFET synchronous rectification eliminates external diode losses and supports 100% duty-cycle dropout operation.
Control loop stability is maintained through external compensation at the ITH pin, while the VFB pin references a precision 0.8V internal bandgap. The device integrates undervoltage lockout (2.5V typical), overtemperature protection, short-circuit protection, and a dedicated PGOOD open-drain output with ±7.5% regulation window.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.63V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, USB, and regulated 3.3V/5V rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.8V to 5V - set by external resistive divider; enables core voltage scaling for processors and FPGAs. |
| Max Switching Frequency | Up to 4MHz - allows use of 2.2μH inductors ≤2mm height and compact 22μF ceramic output capacitors. |
| Peak Switch Current | 1.6A - supports 1.25A continuous output with margin for load transients and thermal derating. |
| RDS(ON) (Top/Bottom) | 0.11Ω each at 3.3V - minimizes conduction loss; enables >95% efficiency at mid-load in typical 3.3V→2.5V conversion. |

Pinout & Package
Package: 10-lead (3mm × 3mm) plastic DFN with exposed pad soldered to SGND for thermal and electrical integrity (θJA = 43°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SHDN/RT (1) | Shutdown enable & oscillator timing node | Pull to SVIN for shutdown; resistor to GND sets fOSC (e.g., 324kΩ → 1MHz); no external pull-up required. |
| SYNC/MODE (2) | Multi-function control pin | Connect to SVIN for Burst Mode®, to SGND for pulse skipping, or to mid-SVIN for forced continuous operation; accepts external clock up to 4MHz. |
| SGND (3) | Signal ground reference | Reference for feedback, compensation, and logic pins; must be separated from PGND and tied only at single point near IC. |
| SW (4) | Switch node | Drives external inductor; swings from PVIN to PGND; requires low-inductance layout to minimize EMI and ringing. |
| PGND (5) | Main power ground return | Return path for high-current inductor and output capacitor; connects directly to COUT(–) and CIN(–). |
| PVIN (6) | Main power supply input | High-current VIN path; must be decoupled to PGND with low-ESR ceramic capacitor within 2mm. |
| SVIN (7) | Signal power supply | Bias rail for internal circuitry; must be ≥ PVIN and decoupled to SGND; powers error amplifier and logic. |
| PGOOD (8) | Power-good status indicator | Open-drain output pulled low when VOUT deviates >±7.5% from target; requires external pull-up to SVIN or logic rail. |
| VFB (9) | Feedback input | Compares divided output voltage to 0.8V reference; input bias current ±0.1μA enables high-resistor-divider designs. |
| ITH (10) | Error amplifier output & compensation node | Controls peak inductor current; external RC network sets loop bandwidth and phase margin for stable transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Burst Mode® operation | Reduces quiescent current to 60μA and gate charge losses at light loads, extending battery life without sacrificing regulation accuracy. |
| Synchronous rectification | Integrated 0.11Ω P-ch and N-ch MOSFETs eliminate external Schottky diode, improving efficiency by 5–10% vs. asynchronous designs. |
| 100% duty-cycle dropout | Enables VOUT to track VIN down to VIN – (ILOAD × RDS(ON) + ILOAD × RDCR(L)), critical for brownout survival in battery-powered systems. |
| Ceramic capacitor compatibility | Stable with low-ESR ceramic output caps due to current-mode control and external compensation - avoids tantalum or polymer cost/size penalties. |
| Programmable switching frequency | Resistor-set (0.85–4MHz) or externally synchronized operation enables EMI optimization and component size tradeoffs across applications. |

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 | 3MHz max frequency, 0.12Ω/0.14Ω RDS(ON), fixed 1.2V/1.5V/1.8V/3.3V options; no adjustable VFB reference. | Requires external resistor divider for non-standard outputs; lacks Burst Mode® - higher light-load IQ (18μA vs. 60μA active, but no sub-μA shutdown). | Prefer when fixed-output voltage suffices and board space favors 16-pin QFN over 10-pin DFN. |
| MAX17503GCU+T | 2.2MHz max, 0.11Ω/0.12Ω RDS(ON), wider 4.5V–60V input range; includes spread-spectrum and PMBus interface. | Over-specified for low-voltage portable apps; larger 20-pin TQFN package; requires I2C host for configuration. | Prefer in industrial or automotive environments where input surge tolerance and telemetry outweigh size/cost constraints. |
Compared with TPS62130ARGTR and MAX17503GCU+T, the LTC3411EDD#TRPBF offers superior high-frequency density (4MHz), true adjustable output (0.8V–5V), and industry-leading light-load efficiency via Burst Mode®, making it optimal for compact, battery-sensitive designs where flexibility and IQ matter most.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported switching frequency for the LTC3411EDD#TRPBF?
The LTC3411EDD#TRPBF supports up to 4MHz switching frequency, either resistor-programmed via the SHDN/RT pin or synchronized to an external clock applied to the SYNC/MODE pin. While 4MHz operation is guaranteed by design, production testing is performed at 1MHz; actual usable frequency depends on minimum on-time and duty cycle constraints per the formula fO(MAX) ≈ 6.67 × (VOUT/VIN(MAX)) MHz.
Does the LTC3411EDD#TRPBF require an external catch diode?
No, the LTC3411EDD#TRPBF does not require an external catch diode because it integrates synchronous N-channel and P-channel MOSFETs for both high-side and low-side switching. An optional Schottky diode may be added in parallel with the low-side switch for marginal efficiency gains in specific Burst Mode® conditions, but it is unnecessary for standard operation and risks introducing leakage or EMI issues.
How is output voltage set on the LTC3411EDD#TRPBF?
The LTC3411EDD#TRPBF uses a precision 0.8V internal reference at the VFB pin. Output voltage is set by an external resistive divider (R1 from VOUT to VFB, R2 from VFB to SGND) using the formula VOUT ≈ 0.8V × (1 + R1/R2). Feedback current is limited to ±0.1μA, allowing high-value resistors (e.g., 324kΩ/13kΩ for 2.5V) to minimize quiescent loss without compromising loop stability.
What thermal considerations apply to the LTC3411EDD#TRPBF in its DFN package?
The LTC3411EDD#TRPBF in the 10-lead 3mm × 3mm DFN package has θJA = 43°C/W when the exposed pad is soldered to a minimum 100mm² copper area tied to SGND. Junction temperature must remain ≤125°C; for 1.25A output at 3.3V→2.5V, thermal simulation shows ~45°C rise above ambient with proper layout - underscoring the need for unbroken thermal vias under the pad and separation of SGND/PGND planes.
Can the LTC3411EDD#TRPBF operate in dropout, and what happens to efficiency?
Yes, the LTC3411EDD#TRPBF supports 100% duty-cycle dropout operation: when VIN drops near VOUT, the P-channel MOSFET remains fully enhanced, passing current with only RDS(ON) and inductor DCR losses. Efficiency falls linearly with decreasing VIN-e.g., at VIN = VOUT + 0.2V, efficiency is ~75% vs. >93% at nominal input-yet regulation is maintained without oscillation or shutdown.
