Product details
Overview
LTC3526BEDC#TRMPBF from Analog Devices is a 5V, 1.5A synchronous step-up DC/DC converter in a 8-pin 2mm × 2mm DFN package, featuring 2MHz fixed switching frequency, integrated 100mΩ/120mΩ MOSFETs, and shutdown current of <1µA - used in portable USB power banks and low-voltage sensor node power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3526BEDC#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC3526BEDC#TRMPBF pinout, LTC3526BEDC#TRMPBF application, or LTC3526BEDC#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (1.8V–5.5V), output voltage adjustability via feedback resistor divider, peak current mode control stability, and thermal performance in compact 2mm × 2mm DFN layouts.
Technical Context
The LTC3526BEDC#TRMPBF employs peak current mode control with internal compensation to maintain regulation across load transients up to 1.5A. It integrates both main and synchronous rectifier MOSFETs, eliminating external diode losses and enabling >90% efficiency at 5Vout/500mA.
Its 2MHz switching frequency allows use of small 1µH inductors and 4.7µF ceramic output capacitors. The device includes undervoltage lockout (UVLO) at 1.6V, thermal shutdown, and soft-start to limit inrush current during startup.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, Li-poly, or two-cell alkaline/NiMH inputs without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage | Adjustable 2.5V to 5.5V via external resistor divider - enables flexible rail generation for USB peripherals or logic supplies. |
| Switching Frequency | 2MHz fixed - permits miniaturized magnetics and low-profile ceramic capacitors in space-constrained designs. |
| Max Output Current | 1.5A at VIN ≥ 2.7V and VOUT = 5V - sufficient for powering USB 2.0 devices or multiple low-power ICs. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - preserves battery life in always-on sensor nodes or standby modes. |
| Package | 8-pin 2mm × 2mm DFN with exposed pad - provides low thermal resistance (θJA = 65°C/W) for high-current operation without heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
8-pin 2mm × 2mm DFN package with exposed thermal pad (EP); RoHS-compliant, lead-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input supply connection | Accepts 1.8V–5.5V; bypassed externally with 1µF ceramic capacitor near pin. |
| SW | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high dv/dt switching waveform - requires tight layout and ground plane. |
| GND | Power and signal ground | Common return for input/output paths and IC substrate; tied directly to EP for thermal conduction. |
| FB | Feedback input | Senses output voltage via resistor divider; sets regulated VOUT = 0.6V × (1 + R1/R2). |
| SHDN | Enable/shutdown control | Active-high logic input; pulls low to disable converter and reduce quiescent current to <1µA. |
| BOOST | Bootstrap supply | Charges bootstrap capacitor for high-side MOSFET gate drive; requires 0.022µF ceramic capacitor to SW. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 100mΩ/120mΩ MOSFETs | Eliminates external diode and reduces conduction loss - improves efficiency by ~8% vs. asynchronous boost converters. |
| 2MHz fixed-frequency operation | Enables use of 1µH inductors ≤ 2.5mm height - critical for ultra-thin portable electronics. |
| Internal soft-start | Controls output voltage ramp rate to prevent overshoot and inrush current spikes into downstream capacitance. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design; resumes operation after die cools by ~15°C. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-up DC/DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS610995DRCR | Lower 1.2A max output current; 1.2MHz switching frequency; different FB reference (0.5V). | Better light-load efficiency below 10mA but limited peak current headroom for burst-mode loads. | Select when prioritizing ultra-low IQ (300nA) over peak current capability. |
| MAX17222ETA+ | Fixed 5V output only; 1.2A rating; 1.2MHz switching; no BOOST pin required. | Simpler layout and fewer external components, but lacks output voltage flexibility. | Select for cost-sensitive, fixed-output applications where adjustable VOUT is unnecessary. |
Compared with TPS610995DRCR and MAX17222ETA+, the LTC3526BEDC#TRMPBF offers higher output current (1.5A vs. 1.2A), higher switching frequency (2MHz vs. 1.2MHz), and adjustable output voltage - making it optimal for dynamic, space-constrained, multi-rail portable systems.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for the LTC3526BEDC#TRMPBF to regulate a 5V output?
The LTC3526BEDC#TRMPBF requires a minimum input voltage of 1.8V to initiate regulation. However, to sustain 5V output at full 1.5A load, VIN must remain ≥2.7V due to MOSFET RDS(on) and duty cycle limitations. Below 2.7V, maximum output current decreases progressively - at 2.0V input, 5V/500mA is achievable.
Does the LTC3526BEDC#TRMPBF require an external Schottky diode?
No, the LTC3526BEDC#TRMPBF does not require an external Schottky diode. It integrates both high-side and low-side synchronous MOSFETs, replacing the need for a discrete diode and improving conversion efficiency by eliminating forward voltage drop losses.
How is output voltage set on the LTC3526BEDC#TRMPBF?
Output voltage on the LTC3526BEDC#TRMPBF is set using a resistive divider from VOUT to FB and from FB to GND. With a 0.6V internal reference, VOUT = 0.6V × (1 + R1/R2). Standard configurations for 5V use R1 = 732kΩ and R2 = 100kΩ, placed close to the FB pin with minimal trace length.
What thermal considerations apply to the LTC3526BEDC#TRMPBF in a 2mm × 2mm DFN package?
The LTC3526BEDC#TRMPBF's 2mm × 2mm DFN package relies on its exposed pad (EP) for thermal conduction. For reliable 1.5A operation, the EP must be soldered to a ≥40mm² copper area with ≥4 thermal vias to inner/ground planes. Without adequate copper, junction temperature may exceed 125°C under continuous load, triggering thermal shutdown.
Can the LTC3526BEDC#TRMPBF be synchronized to an external clock?
No, the LTC3526BEDC#TRMPBF operates with a fixed 2MHz internal oscillator and does not support external clock synchronization. Its timing is fully self-contained, eliminating need for external clock sources but precluding frequency alignment with other system clocks or noise spreading techniques.
