Product details
Overview
LTC3452EUF#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a synchronous buck-boost DC/DC converter optimized for dual-bank white LED driving in portable devices. It delivers up to 5 × 20mA to MAIN display LEDs and up to 200mA to CAMERA flash LEDs, operates from 2.7V–5.5V input, achieves ≥85% efficiency across Li-ion battery range, and integrates independent current control, 1MHz fixed-frequency operation, and open/shorted LED protection.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3452EUF#PBF datasheet, LTC3452EUF#PBF pinout, LTC3452EUF#PBF application, or LTC3452EUF#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-current-bank programmability via ISETL/ISETH resistors, thermal performance in 4mm × 4mm QFN, buck/boost/buck-boost mode auto-selection, LED current matching <2.5%, and shutdown current of 6.5µA.
Technical Context
The LTC3452EUF#PBF employs a proprietary four-switch synchronous buck-boost architecture that dynamically selects between buck, boost, and buck-boost modes based on VIN vs. VOUT relationship and LED forward voltage requirements. It uses a single feedback loop controlled by the highest-VF LED among seven outputs to minimize regulated VOUT and maximize power efficiency.
Its internal transconductance main error amplifier drives the VC compensation node, while a dedicated safety error amplifier clamps VOUT at ~4.5V during open-LED faults. Forward current limiting (1600mA typical) and reverse current limiting (200mA typical) protect internal PMOS/NMOS switches, and soft-start ensures 650µs controlled output ramp-up.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports full Li-ion battery discharge curve without dropout or external LDO. |
| Main LED Output | 5 × 20mA - enables uniform backlighting for small LCD displays with <2.5% current matching. |
| Camera LED Output | 200mA continuous - sufficient for sustained torch mode or pulsed flash operation in camera modules. |
| Switching Frequency | 1MHz fixed - allows use of compact 4.7µH inductors and reduces EMI filtering burden. |
| Shutdown Current | 6.5µA - minimizes battery drain during device sleep states in portable applications. |
| Package Thermal Resistance | θJA = 40°C/W - enables reliable operation up to 85°C ambient with standard PCB copper pour. |

Pinout & Package
20-lead (4mm × 4mm) thermally enhanced QFN package with exposed pad (Pin 21) soldered to PCB ground for optimal thermal dissipation and electrical stability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| SW1, SW2 (17,19) | Internal switch nodes | Connect external 4.7µH inductor; high-side/low-side switching nodes for synchronous operation. |
| PGND (18) | Power ground | High-current return path for inductor and switches; must be low-inductance connection to GND. |
| PVIN (20) | Power input supply | Parallel-connected to VIN (1); separates high-current PVIN path from signal VIN routing. |
| Exposed Pad (21) | Thermal & electrical ground | Must be soldered to PCB ground plane; provides primary thermal conduction path (θJA = 40°C/W). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar white LED driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61165DRVR | Single-bank 30mA × 6-channel boost driver; no buck-boost topology; lower max output current (180mA). | Best suited for display-only applications without flash capability; lacks independent MAIN/CAMERA control. | Select when only MAIN backlight is required and board space permits larger inductor due to 1.2MHz switching frequency. |
| MAX8630YETE+ | 6-channel 25mA boost driver with integrated I²C interface; no high-current flash bank; 2.5V–5.5V input. | Designed for software-configurable multi-display systems; requires host MCU communication for brightness control. | Choose when system-level brightness calibration, sequencing, or diagnostics via I²C are required over hardware PWM simplicity. |
Compared with TPS61165DRVR and MAX8630YETE+, the LTC3452EUF#PBF uniquely combines MAIN/CAMERA dual-current banks, buck-boost topology for wide-input efficiency, and hardware-based exponential PWM dimming-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, MCU-light portable devices needing both display and flash functionality in one IC.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current capability of the LTC3452EUF#PBF?
The LTC3452EUF#PBF supports up to 425mA total continuous output current. This is distributed across its dual banks: up to 5 × 20mA (100mA) for the MAIN display LEDs and up to 200mA for the CAMERA flash bank. The 425mA limit reflects the combined capability of the internal synchronous switches and thermal design of the 4mm × 4mm QFN package under typical PCB layout conditions.
How does the LTC3452EUF#PBF achieve high efficiency across the full Li-ion battery range?
The LTC3452EUF#PBF achieves ≥85% efficiency from 2.7V to 4.2V by dynamically selecting buck, boost, or buck-boost operating mode based on real-time comparison of input voltage and LED forward voltage requirements. Its proprietary feedback architecture regulates VOUT to the minimum level needed for the highest-VF LED, reducing conduction losses. Combined with low-RDS(ON) synchronous switches (205–210mΩ) and 1MHz fixed-frequency operation, this minimizes both switching and conduction losses.
Can the LTC3452EUF#PBF drive more than five MAIN LEDs or a single high-power LED?
Yes - unused LEDLx pins (4–8) can be paralleled to increase per-string current, and LEDH1/LEDH2 (10,12) may be connected together to source up to 400mA for a single high-power LED. The LTC3452EUF#PBF datasheet explicitly confirms this configuration for applications like LumiLED driving. However, total output current must remain within the 425mA continuous limit, and thermal design must accommodate increased power dissipation at the exposed pad.
What protection features are integrated into the LTC3452EUF#PBF?
The LTC3452EUF#PBF integrates undervoltage lockout (UVLO), overtemperature shutdown (130°C trip with 11°C hysteresis), open/shorted LED detection, forward current limiting (1600mA typical), reverse current limiting (200mA typical), and a safety error amplifier that clamps VOUT at ~4.5V during open-circuit faults. These features ensure robust operation in portable devices where battery voltage fluctuation, thermal stress, and LED failure modes are common.
Is the LTC3452EUF#PBF pin-compatible with other members of the LTC345x family?
No - the LTC3452EUF#PBF is not pin-compatible with LTC3451 or LTC3453. While sharing functional similarities, each variant has distinct pin assignments (e.g., LTC3451 uses different EN/ISETH configurations and lacks LEDH2), different current capabilities, and unique internal routing. The LTC3452EUF#PBF's 20-pin QFN layout with specific placement of SW1/SW2, VC, and dual ISET pins is unique to this part number and must be laid out accordingly.
