Product details
Overview
LTC3422EDD#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-efficiency, current-mode, synchronous step-up DC/DC converter with true output disconnect, 700mA continuous / 1A pulsed output current, 0.5V–4.5V input range, and 2.25V–5.25V adjustable output voltage-designed for Li-ion to 5V power conversion in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3422EDD#PBF datasheet, LTC3422EDD#PBF pinout, LTC3422EDD#PBF application, or LTC3422EDD#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 1V start-up capability, programmable Burst Mode threshold, 3MHz maximum switching frequency, anti-ringing control, and thermal shutdown with junction temperature monitoring.
Technical Context
The LTC3422EDD#PBF employs fixed-frequency current-mode PWM control with adaptive slope compensation, enabling stable operation across wide input/output ratios. Its integrated 0.20Ω N-channel switch and 0.24Ω P-channel synchronous rectifier support up to 96% efficiency and true output disconnect by eliminating body diode conduction.
Startup is managed by an independent low-voltage oscillator that operates down to 0.88V typical, while soft-start ramping and inrush limiting prevent input surge. The device transitions autonomously between Burst Mode (25µA quiescent current) and fixed-frequency PWM based on load, with mode control programmable via external resistor on BURST pin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 0.5V to 4.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), NiMH, or partially discharged alkaline sources without dropout |
| Output Voltage Range | 2.25V to 5.25V - adjustable via resistive divider; enables direct 3.3V or 5V rail generation from low-VIN sources |
| Continuous Output Current | 700mA - sustained delivery at full efficiency with thermal derating; sufficient for RF front-ends and display drivers |
| Peak Switch Current Limit | 1.5A steady-state - ensures robust transient response and short-circuit protection under pulsed loads |
| Quiescent Current (Burst) | 25µA - extends battery runtime in standby or low-duty-cycle sensor wake-up modes |
| Switching Frequency | Up to 3MHz - allows use of sub-µH inductors and compact ceramic capacitors for ultra-thin handheld layouts |
| Start-Up Input Voltage | 0.88V typical - enables operation from deeply discharged cells or energy-harvesting sources before regulation |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-pin (3mm × 3mm × 0.75mm) thermally enhanced DFN with exposed pad (Pin 11 = GND). Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pin 1) | Inductor switch node | High-current path for synchronous boost topology; requires minimal trace length and low-inductance layout to suppress ringing |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Main input supply | Accepts 0.5–4.5V; powers internal circuitry until VOUT exceeds VIN + 0.3V, then self-biases from output |
| BURST (Pin 3) | Burst Mode control | Resistor-to-GND sets average load current threshold for automatic Burst/PWM transition; grounding forces Burst Mode |
| SS (Pin 4) | Soft-start timing | Capacitor-to-GND programs soft-start duration (t = CSS × 320 ms); prevents inrush during startup and fault recovery |
| SHDN (Pin 5) | Enable/disable control | Logic-level input: <0.25V = shutdown (<1µA IQ); >1V = enable; hysteresis maintains operation as battery drops to 0.65V |
| FB (Pin 6) | Feedback reference | Connects to resistor divider tap; regulates output using 1.216V ±1.2% internal reference |
| VC (Pin 7) | Error amplifier output | Compensation node for loop stability; disconnected during Burst Mode to prevent VC drift |
| RT (Pin 8) | Oscillator frequency set | Resistor-to-GND programs fOSC = 28/RT (MHz); supports synchronization via SYNC pin |
| SYNC (Pin 9) | External clock input | Accepts 100ns–2µs pulses to synchronize internal oscillator; must be grounded if unused |
| VOUT (Pin 10) | Regulated output | Delivers boosted voltage; supplies internal bias and requires ≥10µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True output disconnect | Eliminates reverse current flow through internal P-MOSFET body diode during shutdown - critical for battery isolation and zero-load leakage |
| Anti-ringing control | Internally damps SW node oscillation during discontinuous conduction - reduces EMI without external snubbers |
| Programmable soft-start | Adjustable ramp time prevents input surge and output overshoot during power-on or recovery from fault conditions |
| Inrush current limiting | Gradual peak current ramp during startup protects weak input sources (e.g., coin cells or energy harvesters) from collapse |
| Synchronizable oscillator | Enables noise-sensitive systems (e.g., GPS receivers) to align switching edges with quiet time slots or avoid interference bands |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS610995DSKR | Lower IQ (300nA shutdown, 400nA in operation), but no true output disconnect; 2A switch; 0.7V min VIN | Lacks body-diode blocking - unsuitable where battery isolation is required; better for ultra-low-power always-on sensors | Select only if output disconnect is not needed and nanoamp IQ dominates design priority over reverse leakage |
| MAX17222ETA+T | Fixed 3.3V output (non-adjustable); 1.2A switch; 0.4V min VIN; no SYNC or Burst programming | Reduced external component count but inflexible for multi-rail systems; lacks programmability for noise-sensitive apps | Choose when fixed 3.3V output suffices and board space is more constrained than feature flexibility |
Compared with TPS610995DSKR and MAX17222ETA+T, the LTC3422EDD#PBF uniquely combines true output disconnect, 1V start-up, and fully programmable Burst Mode - making it optimal for battery-powered systems requiring both deep discharge utilization and strict power domain isolation.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for the LTC3422EDD#PBF to start up?
The LTC3422EDD#PBF guarantees start-up from 0.88V typical (1V specified minimum) using its dedicated low-voltage oscillator. This enables operation from deeply discharged Li-ion cells or energy-harvesting sources before regulation is established. Once VOUT exceeds VIN + 0.3V, the device self-biases from the output, allowing VIN to drop as low as 0.5V during normal operation without affecting regulation.
Does the LTC3422EDD#PBF provide true output disconnect during shutdown?
Yes, the LTC3422EDD#PBF provides true output disconnect by actively controlling its internal P-channel MOSFET to block reverse current flow through the body diode. When SHDN is pulled low, VOUT discharges to 0V with no residual current draw from the input source - essential for battery isolation in portable systems. External Schottky diodes must be omitted to preserve this function.
How is Burst Mode operation configured on the LTC3422EDD#PBF?
Burst Mode on the LTC3422EDD#PBF is configured via a resistor (RB) from BURST pin to GND, where RB (kΩ) = 12 / IEXITBURST (A). This sets the average load current threshold for automatic entry/exit. Grounding BURST forces Burst Mode; connecting to VOUT forces fixed-frequency PWM. The device also includes active VC clamping during Burst Mode to prevent output transients on mode re-entry.
What thermal management requirements apply to the LTC3422EDD#PBF?
The LTC3422EDD#PBF requires soldering of its exposed thermal pad (Pin 11) to a PCB ground plane using multiple vias to achieve θJA = 43°C/W. Without proper thermal coupling, junction temperature may exceed 125°C, triggering automatic current derating and eventual thermal shutdown. Layout must minimize SW node loop area and place input/output capacitors adjacent to respective pins.
Can the LTC3422EDD#PBF operate with input voltage higher than output voltage?
Yes, the LTC3422EDD#PBF supports VIN > VOUT operation by disabling the synchronous rectifier and applying VIN directly to the P-MOSFET gate, effectively turning it into a pass transistor. This maintains regulation without reverse current, but efficiency drops to diode-rectification levels. The device exits Burst Mode automatically when VIN > VOUT – 300mV to ensure stable control.
