Product details
Overview
LTC3413EFE#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 3A, 2MHz monolithic synchronous step-down DC/DC converter optimized for DDR/QDR memory termination. It operates from 2.25V to 5.5V input, delivers ±3A symmetrical source/sink current, maintains VOUT = VREF/2 = 1.25V with ±1% accuracy, and integrates 85mΩ P-channel and 65mΩ N-channel MOSFETs in a 16-lead TSSOP package with exposed pad.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3413EFE#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3413EFE#TRPBF pinout, LTC3413EFE#TRPBF application, or LTC3413EFE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include symmetrical current capability, programmable 300kHz–2MHz switching frequency via RT resistor, forced-continuous mode operation for low noise, internal voltage divider eliminating external feedback resistors, and integrated overcurrent/overtemperature protection.
Technical Context
The LTC3413EFE#TRPBF employs a constant-frequency current-mode control architecture with dual internal power switches - an 85mΩ P-channel high-side MOSFET and a 65mΩ N-channel low-side MOSFET - enabling bidirectional output current up to ±3A. Its ITH pin provides direct control of peak inductor current, while slope compensation recovery ensures stable operation at duty cycles >40% without reducing maximum inductor peak current.
It features independent SVIN and PVIN supplies (ΔV ≤ 0.5V), a dedicated SGND for signal integrity, and a PGOOD open-drain output asserting low when VOUT deviates by >±10%. The device supports pre-biased load startup only when RUN/SS is sequenced before external circuitry drives VOUT, and includes short-circuit protection that skips switching cycles if valley inductor current exceeds 5A.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.25V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, 3.3V, and 5V rails without external regulators. |
| Output Voltage | VREF/2 = 1.25V (±1%) - fixed by internal 2:1 resistor divider; eliminates external feedback resistors for DDR termination. |
| Output Current | ±3A continuous - enables active termination of DDR/QDR buses with symmetrical sourcing and sinking. |
| Switching Frequency | 300kHz to 2MHz (programmable via RT resistor) - allows tradeoff between small LC size (high-f) and efficiency (low-f). |
| RDS(ON) (P-FET) | 85mΩ (typ.) - reduces conduction loss during high-duty-cycle operation, e.g., dropout at VIN ≈ 2.5V. |
| RDS(ON) (N-FET) | 65mΩ (typ.) - minimizes reverse conduction loss during sink phase, critical for bus termination stability. |
| Efficiency | Up to 90% at 1A, VIN = 2.5V - achieved via synchronous rectification and low RDS(ON), reducing thermal stress in compact layouts. |
| PGOOD Threshold | ±10% output regulation window - provides reliable system-level power sequencing and fault detection. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead plastic TSSOP with exposed pad (Pin 17), rated for –40°C to +85°C ambient operation. Exposed pad must be soldered to PGND for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SVIN (1) | Signal Input Supply | Provides clean bias for control circuitry; must be ≥ PVIN and within 0.5V difference - decouple to SGND. |
| PGOOD (2) | Power Good Monitor | Open-drain output pulled low if VOUT is outside ±10%; used for system enable/disable sequencing. |
| ITH (3) | Error Amplifier Compensation | Controls peak inductor current threshold (0.2V–1.4V range); external RC sets loop dynamics. |
| VFB (4) | Feedback Input | Monitors output voltage; internally referenced to VREF/2 - no external resistors needed for standard 1.25V operation. |
| RT (5) | Oscillator Timing Input | Resistor-to-ground sets switching frequency (300kHz–2MHz); 309kΩ yields ~1MHz per datasheet. |
| VREF (6) | Reference Voltage Input | Internal 2.5V reference; VOUT = VREF/2 when VFB tied directly to VOUT. |
| RUN/SS (7) | Enable & Soft-Start Control | Pull <0.5V to shut down (<1μA IQ); capacitor to ground controls soft-start ramp time (1024 cycles to full current). |
| SGND (8) | Signal Ground | Reference for all small-signal pins (VFB, ITH, RT, etc.); connect to PGND at single point to avoid noise coupling. |
| PVIN (9,16) | Power Input Supply | High-current VIN path for power switches; decouple to PGND with low-ESR capacitors. |
| SW (10,11,14,15) | Switch Node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt square wave - requires tight layout and Kelvin connection to minimize ringing. |
| PGND (12,13) | Power Ground | Return path for high-current loops (PVIN → SW → inductor → COUT → PGND); tie exposed pad here. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Symmetrical ±3A source/sink capability | Enables true active termination for DDR/QDR memory buses without external current mirrors or op-amps. |
| Integrated 2:1 feedback divider | Eliminates external resistors for 1.25V output, reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity to resistor tolerance/thermal drift. |
| Forced-continuous conduction mode | Suppresses subharmonic oscillation and EMI across full load range - critical for noise-sensitive memory subsystems. |
| Adjustable slope compensation recovery | Maintains constant maximum inductor peak current across duty cycles >40%, ensuring predictable transient response and stability. |
| Overcurrent protection on both source and sink paths | Detects and limits current during both sourcing and sinking phases - prevents damage during bus contention or short events. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Disables both power switches at ~150°C junction temperature; resumes operation after cooldown - protects against sustained overload. |

FAQ
What is the maximum supported switching frequency for the LTC3413EFE#TRPBF?
The LTC3413EFE#TRPBF supports a programmable switching frequency up to 2MHz, set by an external resistor on the RT pin. While 2MHz operation is guaranteed by design, production testing covers frequencies up to 1.12MHz per the Electrical Characteristics table. For robust 2MHz implementation, verify thermal performance and inductor saturation current at full load.
Does the LTC3413EFE#TRPBF require external feedback resistors to set VOUT = 1.25V?
No, the LTC3413EFE#TRPBF does not require external feedback resistors for VOUT = 1.25V operation. It integrates an internal 2:1 resistor divider that references VFB to VREF/2. When VFB is connected directly to VOUT, the output is precisely regulated to half the VREF voltage (2.5V/2 = 1.25V), eliminating resistor matching errors and thermal drift effects.
How does the LTC3413EFE#TRPBF handle pre-biased output conditions during startup?
The LTC3413EFE#TRPBF can latch into a non-switching state if VOUT is externally driven above 1.1×VREF/2 (i.e., >1.375V) before RUN/SS is enabled. To prevent this, the RUN/SS pin must be asserted *after* any external circuitry driving VOUT is powered down. Sequencing RUN/SS before VOUT bias ensures proper soft-start and avoids permanent disable until reset.
What is the purpose of separate SVIN and PVIN pins on the LTC3413EFE#TRPBF?
The LTC3413EFE#TRPBF uses separate SVIN (signal supply) and PVIN (power supply) pins to isolate noise-sensitive control circuitry from high-current switching paths. SVIN powers the error amplifier, oscillator, and logic; PVIN powers the internal MOSFETs. Keeping SVIN ≥ PVIN and ΔV ≤ 0.5V ensures stable regulation while minimizing coupling of switching transients into feedback and timing circuits.
Can the LTC3413EFE#TRPBF be used for applications other than memory termination?
Yes, the LTC3413EFE#TRPBF is applicable beyond DDR/QDR termination. Its ±3A symmetrical current, 2.25V–5.5V input range, and programmable frequency make it suitable for any bidirectional point-of-load requirement - including active biasing of RF amplifiers, programmable current sources/sinks in test equipment, and low-noise auxiliary supplies in mixed-signal systems where forced-continuous mode suppresses EMI.
