Product details
Overview
LTC3428EDD#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual-phase, current-mode synchronous boost DC/DC converter IC designed for high-efficiency local voltage step-up in space-constrained applications. It delivers up to 2A at 5V from a 3.3V input, operates from 1.6V to 4.5V input, supports 1.6V–5.25V adjustable output, and integrates two 93mΩ N-channel MOSFETs in a thermally enhanced 10-lead 3mm × 3mm DFN package.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3428EDD#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3428EDD#TRPBF pinout, LTC3428EDD#TRPBF application, or LTC3428EDD#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-phase ripple reduction, internal soft-start, <1μA shutdown current, 1MHz per-phase switching frequency, and thermal shutdown with 125°C TJMAX.
Technical Context
The LTC3428EDD#TRPBF implements adaptive slope-compensated current-mode control across two 180°-interleaved phases, eliminating the right-half-plane zero's dominant impact on loop stability while enabling simple R-C compensation via the VC pin. Its dual-phase architecture doubles effective switching frequency to 2MHz, reducing peak inductor current by 53% and output capacitor ripple current by 85% versus single-phase equivalents.
Each phase features independent 2.5A peak current limiting, 40ns blanking for noise immunity, and antiringing control to damp SWA/SWB node ringing during discontinuous conduction mode. The error amplifier provides 170μS transconductance and references to a precision 1.243V internal bandgap, enabling accurate output regulation over temperature.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3426EDD#TRPBF | Single-phase, 2A max, 1MHz, same DFN-10 package but no interleaving; higher output ripple and larger inductors required | Limited to lower-noise-tolerance systems where board area is less constrained than EMI requirements | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs ripple/EMI performance and thermal headroom is sufficient |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for the LTC3428EDD#TRPBF to start switching?
The LTC3428EDD#TRPBF has a minimum startup voltage of 1.6V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. Below this threshold, the device will not initiate switching even if SHDN is asserted. This enables reliable operation from partially discharged single-cell Li-ion batteries or low-voltage logic rails. The LTC3428EDD#TRPBF maintains regulation down to 1.6V input across its full temperature range.
Can the LTC3428EDD#TRPBF be used to generate 3.3V from a 1.8V input?
Yes, the LTC3428EDD#TRPBF supports 3.3V at 1.5A from a 1.8V input, as explicitly listed in the Applications section of the datasheet. Output voltage is set via the FB resistor divider using VOUT = 1.243V × (1 + R1/R2), allowing precise configuration for 3.3V or any value between 1.6V and 5.25V. The LTC3428EDD#TRPBF maintains high efficiency (>85%) in this configuration due to its low RDS(ON) switches and optimized control loop.
How does the dual-phase architecture of the LTC3428EDD#TRPBF reduce output capacitor requirements?
The LTC3428EDD#TRPBF's 180° interleaved phases halve the effective output ripple current magnitude, reducing peak-to-peak ripple from 4.34A (single-phase) to 0.64A at 2A load - an 85% reduction. This directly lowers RMS current stress on the output capacitor, permitting smaller ceramic values (e.g., 22μF instead of 100μF) and eliminating bulk electrolytics. The LTC3428EDD#TRPBF thus enables fully ceramic, low-profile, high-reliability output filtering.
What thermal management practices are recommended for the LTC3428EDD#TRPBF at full 2A load?
At full 2A load, the LTC3428EDD#TRPBF requires robust thermal design: the exposed pad must be soldered to a minimum 200mm² copper plane using ≥6 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter) to an inner ground layer. Ambient temperature must remain ≤85°C, and junction temperature should stay below 125°C (TJMAX). The LTC3428EDD#TRPBF includes thermal shutdown at ~150°C, but continuous operation above 125°C degrades reliability. Layout adherence to the datasheet's thermal pad guidelines is mandatory for sustained 2A output.
Is external compensation required for stable operation of the LTC3428EDD#TRPBF?
Yes, external compensation is required via the VC pin to ensure loop stability across all operating conditions. While the LTC3428EDD#TRPBF includes an internal 5pF capacitor, a series R-C network (e.g., 10kΩ + 470pF) from VC to AGND is necessary to place a dominant pole and zero that counteract the output filter pole and right-half-plane zero. The Typical Application schematic (Figure 3) shows a validated network; omitting or mis-sizing this network risks oscillation or poor transient response. The LTC3428EDD#TRPBF's loop dynamics depend critically on this external network.
