Product details
Overview
LTC3499EDD#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a synchronous step-up DC/DC converter with integrated reverse-battery protection, designed for low-voltage battery-powered systems. It operates from 1.8V to 5.5V input, delivers up to 750mA output current, regulates adjustable output voltages from 2V to 6V at 1.2MHz fixed switching frequency, and features true output disconnect in shutdown-enabling zero load current and inrush control. It is widely deployed in handheld medical instruments powered by two AA cells.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3499EDD#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3499EDD#TRPBF pinout, LTC3499EDD#TRPBF application, or LTC3499EDD#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.22V FB reference accuracy, <1µA shutdown supply current, 750mA current limit, reverse-battery leakage <5µA at –6V, and Burst Mode operation for ultra-low-light-load efficiency.
Technical Context
The LTC3499EDD#TRPBF employs current-mode PWM control with internal slope compensation, enabling stable regulation across wide load and input ranges. Its architecture integrates a P-channel high-side switch and N-channel synchronous rectifier, eliminating external diode losses and supporting true output disconnect via body-diode blocking.
Reverse-battery protection is implemented through dedicated comparator circuitry that disables both switches when VIN falls below GND, limiting reverse current to <5µA. Burst Mode operation (exclusive to LTC3499, not LTC3499B) dynamically gates the oscillator and control blocks, reducing quiescent current to 20µA at light loads while maintaining 1% output regulation tolerance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8V to 5.5V - supports two alkaline/NiMH cells or single Li-ion without external LDO pre-regulation |
| Output Voltage Range | 2V to 6V adjustable via resistor divider - enables direct 3.3V or 5V rail generation from low-VIN sources |
| Switching Frequency | 1.2MHz ±20% - permits use of compact 2.2–10µH inductors and ceramic capacitors ≤10µF |
| Peak Switch Current Limit | 750mA minimum - sets maximum deliverable output current under worst-case thermal conditions |
| FB Reference Voltage | 1.220V ±25mV - defines output setpoint accuracy; used with R1/R2 divider to calculate VOUT = 1.22 × (1 + R1/R2) |
| Shutdown Supply Current | <1µA - ensures negligible battery drain during system sleep or off-state |
| Reverse-Battery Leakage | <5µA at VIN = –6V - prevents battery discharge and protects downstream circuitry during polarity reversal |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead (3mm × 3mm × 0.75mm) plastic DFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 9), RoHS-compliant, rated for –40°C to +85°C ambient operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SHDN (Pin 1) | Enable/disable control input | Pulled >1.2V to enable; <0.2V to enter shutdown with true output disconnect and <1µA VIN current |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Main power input with reverse protection | Accepts 1.8–5.5V; internal PMOS/NMOS structure blocks reverse current and provides UVLO at ~1.6V |
| SW (Pin 3) | Switch node connection | Drives external inductor; includes 250Ω antiringing switch to damp LC resonance in discontinuous mode |
| GND (Pins 4 & 9) | Signal and power ground | Exposed pad (Pin 9) must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal performance (θJA = 45°C/W) |
| SS (Pin 5) | Soft-start timing node | Charged by internal 3µA source; CSS value sets inrush control time: t(ms) = CSS(µF) × 200 |
| VOUT (Pin 6) | Regulated power output | Delivers up to 750mA; true disconnect isolates load during shutdown - no body-diode conduction |
| FB (Pin 7) | Feedback input to error amplifier | Compares divided VOUT against 1.22V reference; sets output voltage with ±25mV tolerance over temperature |
| VC (Pin 8) | Error amplifier output | Connects to RC compensation network (RZ, CC1, CC2) to stabilize current-mode loop and suppress RHP zero effects |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated reverse-battery protection | Blocks conduction when VIN < GND, limiting reverse current to <5µA - eliminates need for external MOSFET or diode |
| True output disconnect in shutdown | Zero VOUT and zero load current achieved by disabling both internal switches - prevents backfeed and enables safe hot-swap |
| Burst Mode operation | Reduces VIN quiescent current to 20µA at light loads while maintaining ±1% output regulation - extends battery life in standby |
| 1.2MHz fixed-frequency PWM | Enables use of small 4.7µH inductors and 10µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitors - minimizes solution footprint and EMI |
| Overvoltage protection (OVP) | Triggers at 6.8V with 400mV hysteresis - latches off SW until reset by SHDN toggle or VIN cycle |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61200DRCT | Fixed 5V output only; no adjustable FB; 0.7A current limit; no reverse-battery protection | Suitable for cost-sensitive 5V-only designs without polarity-reversal risk | Select when output voltage is fixed and reverse protection is handled externally |
| MAX17064ETA+ | Adjustable 2.5–5.5V output; 1.2MHz; 0.8A current limit; includes integrated OVP but no reverse-battery circuitry | Requires external PMOS reverse-protection FET; higher IQ (25µA) in shutdown | Choose when higher output current is needed and board space allows discrete protection |
Compared with TPS61200DRCT and MAX17064ETA+, the LTC3499EDD#TRPBF uniquely integrates reverse-battery protection and true output disconnect in a 3mm × 3mm DFN, making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-reversal-prone portable devices requiring adjustable output and sub-1µA shutdown current.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required to start up the LTC3499EDD#TRPBF?
The LTC3499EDD#TRPBF has a typical minimum start-up voltage of 1.6V and guaranteed minimum of 1.8V across temperature. Below 1.8V, the device will not initiate switching; this threshold ensures reliable operation from two fresh alkaline or NiMH cells, even as they discharge.
Does the LTC3499EDD#TRPBF support output voltages above 5V?
Yes, the LTC3499EDD#TRPBF supports an adjustable output range from 2V to 6V via the FB pin and external resistor divider. The 6V upper limit is enforced by internal overvoltage protection, which triggers at 6.8V with 400mV hysteresis to safeguard downstream circuitry.
How does reverse-battery protection work on the LTC3499EDD#TRPBF?
The LTC3499EDD#TRPBF uses internal comparator circuitry to detect when VIN falls below GND. Upon detection, both internal PMOS and NMOS switches are disabled, limiting reverse current to <5µA at –6V - protecting the battery, IC, and load without external components.
What is the purpose of the SS pin on the LTC3499EDD#TRPBF?
The SS (soft-start) pin on the LTC3499EDD#TRPBF controls inrush current during startup. An internal 3µA current source charges an external capacitor (CSS) connected to ground; the resulting ramp time determines how gradually VOUT rises - preventing input surge and output overshoot into large capacitive loads.
Is the LTC3499EDD#TRPBF pin-compatible with the LTC3499B variant?
No, the LTC3499EDD#TRPBF and LTC3499BEDD#TRPBF share identical pinout and package (8-lead DFN), but differ functionally: the LTC3499EDD#TRPBF includes Burst Mode for ultra-low-IQ light-load operation, while the LTC3499BEDD#TRPBF uses continuous switching - resulting in lower noise but reduced light-load efficiency.
