Product details
Overview
LTC3458LEDE#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-efficiency, current-mode, synchronous step-up DC/DC converter with true output disconnect, programmable 1.5–6 V output, 1.5 MHz switching frequency, and ultralow 12 μA Burst Mode quiescent current. It integrates 0.2 Ω N-channel and 0.3 Ω P-channel MOSFETs and targets battery-powered portable electronics requiring regulated 5 V from Li-ion or dual-alkaline sources.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3458LEDE#PBF datasheet, LTC3458LEDE#PBF pinout, LTC3458LEDE#PBF application, or LTC3458LEDE#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include output disconnect capability, inrush limiting, programmable peak current limit (1.7 A typical), soft-start control, and thermal shutdown at ~150°C - all critical for USB VBUS, GPS, and MP3 player power rails.
Technical Context
The LTC3458LEDE#PBF employs adaptive slope-compensated current-mode control to ensure loop stability across input (1.5–6 V) and output (2–6 V) ranges without external compensation tuning. Its architecture includes independent programmable blocks for oscillator frequency (via RT pin), peak current limit (ILIM), Burst Mode threshold (BURST), and soft-start timing (SS).
True output disconnect is achieved by actively blocking body diode conduction in the internal P-channel synchronous rectifier, enabling zero-volt VOUT during shutdown and eliminating reverse current. Antiringing control on the SW pin dampens LC ringing in discontinuous conduction mode to reduce EMI.

Pinout & Package
Package: 12-lead (4 mm × 3 mm) thermally enhanced DFN with exposed PGND pad (Pin 13), 0.75 mm profile. Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (1) | Switch node | Connection point for external inductor; antiringing resistor engages in DCM to suppress EMI |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True output disconnect | Eliminates reverse current and inrush surge by disabling P-MOSFET body diode conduction during shutdown |
| Programmable Burst Mode threshold | RC network on BURST pin sets precise average load current (e.g., 100 mA) for automatic light-load efficiency optimization |
| Adaptive slope compensation | Automatically adjusts compensation based on VIN/VOUT ratio - ensures stable current-mode operation without manual tuning |
| Antiringing control | Internal resistor across SW node in DCM reduces high-frequency ringing and EMI emissions |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Shuts down at ~150°C junction temperature; restarts after ~140°C cooldown - protects against sustained overload |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61200DRCR | Fixed 5 V output (non-programmable), 1.5 A switch current, no output disconnect, 2.5 μA IQ in shutdown | Lacks true output disconnect and programmable VOUT - unsuitable for USB VBUS where reverse current must be blocked | Select only if fixed 5 V output suffices and output disconnect is not required; lower cost but less flexible |
| MAX17062ETA+ | 2.5 V to 5.5 V input, 2.5 V to 5.5 V output, 1.2 A switch, integrated soft-start, no Burst Mode | No Burst Mode or programmable frequency - higher light-load IQ (~25 μA) limits battery life in intermittent-use devices | Prefer for simpler designs needing only basic boost without advanced efficiency modes or precision disconnect |
Compared with TPS61200DRCR and MAX17062ETA+, the LTC3458LEDE#PBF uniquely combines programmable output voltage, true output disconnect, and ultralow 12 μA Burst Mode IQ - making it optimal for USB-powered portable systems where battery longevity and reverse-current safety are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for the LTC3458LEDE#PBF to regulate 5 V output?
The LTC3458LEDE#PBF requires a minimum input voltage of 1.5 V at 0°C to 85°C (1.7 V at –40°C to 0°C) to maintain regulation. For reliable 5 V output from a single Li-ion cell (3.1–4.2 V), the LTC3458LEDE#PBF operates well within its input range and delivers up to 750 mA with >90% efficiency. Below 1.5 V, the device may enter undervoltage lockout or fail to sustain regulation.
How does the LTC3458LEDE#PBF achieve true output disconnect, and why is it important?
The LTC3458LEDE#PBF achieves true output disconnect by actively controlling its internal P-channel MOSFET to block body diode conduction during shutdown - ensuring VOUT drops to 0 V and draws zero current from VIN. This prevents reverse current flow and inrush surges, which is essential for USB VBUS compliance and protecting upstream battery or power sources. Without this feature, external diodes would be needed, increasing size and losses.
Can the LTC3458LEDE#PBF operate without an external inductor?
No, the LTC3458LEDE#PBF cannot operate without an external inductor. It is a synchronous boost converter requiring an external inductor (e.g., 7.4 μH at 1 MHz) to store and transfer energy. The inductor value must be selected per the datasheet's recommended table to ensure stable current-mode operation, proper slope compensation, and transient response. Omitting the inductor will cause immediate failure or unregulated output.
What is the purpose of the BURST pin on the LTC3458LEDE#PBF, and how is it configured?
The BURST pin on the LTC3458LEDE#PBF programs the average load current threshold for automatic entry/exit from Burst Mode. An RC network (e.g., 133 kΩ + 0.01 μF) sets IBURST = 10/RBURST (A). To force fixed-frequency PWM mode, connect BURST to VOUT via a 51 kΩ resistor. Grounding BURST forces Burst Mode. This pin enables dynamic efficiency optimization without firmware intervention.
Does the LTC3458LEDE#PBF require external compensation components, and if so, what are they?
Yes, the LTC3458LEDE#PBF requires external compensation on the COMP pin: typically a series RC network (e.g., 33 kΩ + 10 pF) from COMP to GND, plus a feedback divider (R1/R2) on FB. These components stabilize the current-mode loop, counteract the right-half-plane zero inherent to boost topology, and ensure phase margin >45°. The datasheet provides design equations and layout guidance - skipping compensation risks oscillation or poor transient response.
