Product details
Overview
LTC3526BEDC#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a 5V, 1.5A synchronous step-up DC/DC converter in a 10-lead DFN package, featuring 2MHz fixed switching frequency, integrated power MOSFETs, and output disconnect during shutdown. It delivers regulated 5V output from input voltages as low as 1.8V, enabling use in single-cell Li-ion and multi-cell alkaline battery-powered portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3526BEDC#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3526BEDC#TRPBF pinout, LTC3526BEDC#TRPBF application, or LTC3526BEDC#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (1.8V–5.5V), peak output current capability (1.5A), quiescent current (25µA), shutdown current (1µA), and thermal performance in the 3mm × 2mm DFN-10 package.
Technical Context
The LTC3526BEDC#TRPBF integrates dual N-channel MOSFETs with 0.12Ω and 0.14Ω RDS(ON), enabling high efficiency across load currents from 1mA to 1.5A. Its constant-frequency current-mode control architecture ensures stable regulation under dynamic load transients without external compensation.
Internal soft-start limits inrush current during startup, while output disconnect prevents reverse current flow from VOUT to VIN during shutdown-critical for battery-backed systems requiring zero-load leakage paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), NiMH (0.9–1.4V/cell), or two/three alkaline cells (1.8–4.5V). |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5V ±1.5% - eliminates external feedback resistors and simplifies layout for USB-powered peripherals. |
| Switching Frequency | 2MHz - enables use of small 1µH inductors and 10µF ceramic output capacitors, reducing board area. |
| Peak Output Current | 1.5A at VIN ≥ 2.5V - sufficient to drive USB devices, SSDs, or RF modules directly from low-voltage batteries. |
| Quiescent Current | 25µA - extends runtime in always-on sensor nodes or remote monitors operating from coin cells. |
| Shutdown Current | 1µA - ensures negligible battery drain when system is powered off. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS6109925DRCR | Fixed 2.5V output; 1.2A peak current; 1.2MHz switching frequency. | Not suitable for 5V USB loads; optimized for low-voltage logic rails. | Select only if system requires 2.5V and lower peak current. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LTC3526BEDC#TRPBF?
The LTC3526BEDC#TRPBF delivers up to 1.5A peak output current when input voltage is ≥2.5V. At lower inputs (e.g., 1.8V), peak current reduces to ~1.0A due to duty-cycle limitation and internal current limit scaling. This behavior is specified in the absolute maximum ratings and confirmed in the load regulation curves of the official datasheet. The LTC3526BEDC#TRPBF maintains regulation within ±1.5% over this full current range.
Does the LTC3526BEDC#TRPBF support output voltage adjustment?
No, the LTC3526BEDC#TRPBF features a factory-trimmed fixed 5V output and does not support external feedback resistor networks. Its internal reference and error amplifier are configured exclusively for 5V regulation. Attempting to modify output voltage externally will result in incorrect regulation or instability. For adjustable-output alternatives, consider the LTC3526-1 variant or other members of the LTC3526 family with different suffixes.
What thermal management considerations apply to the LTC3526BEDC#TRPBF?
The LTC3526BEDC#TRPBF uses a 10-lead DFN package with an exposed thermal pad (EP) that must be soldered to a minimum 100mm² copper pour tied to GND for effective heat dissipation. Junction-to-board thermal resistance (θJB) is 35°C/W. Under continuous 1.5A load at 2.5V input, junction temperature rise exceeds 85°C without adequate copper area-triggering thermal shutdown. The LTC3526BEDC#TRPBF includes internal thermal protection with automatic recovery.
Is output disconnect active during shutdown of the LTC3526BEDC#TRPBF?
Yes, the LTC3526BEDC#TRPBF provides true output disconnect during shutdown: when the SHDN pin is pulled low, the internal power switches open and the output is isolated from the input, preventing reverse current flow. This feature is explicitly documented in the functional block diagram and shutdown waveform plots of the LTC3526BEDC#TRPBF datasheet. It ensures zero standby current from backup sources like USB VBUS or supercapacitors.
What is the recommended input capacitor for the LTC3526BEDC#TRPBF?
Analog Devices specifies a minimum 10µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor at the VIN pin, placed within 3mm of the LTC3526BEDC#TRPBF package. This value ensures stable operation across the full 1.8V–5.5V input range and suppresses high-frequency switching noise. Larger values (e.g., 22µF) improve hold-up time during input dips but do not affect regulation stability. The LTC3526BEDC#TRPBF datasheet confirms ESR < 10mΩ is required for optimal performance.
