Product details
Overview
LTC3528BEDDB-2#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 2MHz synchronous step-up DC/DC converter with output disconnect, designed for ultra-low-voltage battery-powered systems. It delivers up to 400mA at 3.3V from two alkaline/NiMH cells (1.8–3.2V input), features 700mV start-up voltage, 1.6–5.25V adjustable output, and integrated soft-start - enabling reliable power delivery in compact portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3528BEDDB-2#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC3528BEDDB-2#TRMPBF pinout, LTC3528BEDDB-2#TRMPBF application, or LTC3528BEDDB-2#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 2MHz fixed-frequency current-mode control, true output disconnect capability, anti-ringing circuitry for EMI reduction, and operation down to 500mV post-startup - critical for single-cell energy harvesting and low-power wearables.
Technical Context
The LTC3528BEDDB-2#TRMPBF employs a current-mode PWM architecture with internal slope compensation and adaptive zero-current detection, enabling fast transient response and stable regulation across wide input/output ranges. Its dual-MOSFET synchronous rectifier (N-channel switch + P-channel rectifier) supports VIN-to-VOUT step-up, buck-boost crossover, and true output disconnect by eliminating body-diode conduction during shutdown.
Startup is managed by an independent oscillator that activates at 700mV (typ), then transitions to main 2MHz oscillator once VOUT exceeds VIN by 240mV. Internal soft-start ramps peak inductor current to 1.5A over ~500µs, while anti-ringing control connects SW to VIN in discontinuous mode to suppress high-frequency ringing without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead 3mm × 2mm × 0.75mm DFN (DDB) with exposed GND pad (Pin 9), RoHS-compliant, tape-and-reel (TRMPBF).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3422 | 3MHz switching, 1.5A switch, 3mm × 3mm DFN10 package, same 0.85V start-up | Higher frequency allows smaller inductors but increases switching loss above 200mA; no anti-ringing circuit | Prefer for space-constrained designs needing >300mA at 5V; verify thermal performance with exposed pad layout |
| LTC3528B-1 | 1MHz version (vs. 2MHz), identical pinout and features, lower EMI but larger magnetics required | Better efficiency at medium loads (>100mA); less suitable for ultra-thin profiles requiring sub-2mm height inductors | Select when board area is less constrained than height, or when EMI filtering simplicity outweighs size penalty |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for the LTC3528BEDDB-2#TRMPBF to start up?
The LTC3528BEDDB-2#TRMPBF has a guaranteed minimum start-up voltage of 0.70V (typical 0.70V, max 0.88V per datasheet). It uses a dedicated start-up oscillator to initiate operation from a single depleted alkaline or NiMH cell. Once started, it continues operating down to 0.50V input, provided sufficient power can be delivered to sustain the load.
Does the LTC3528BEDDB-2#TRMPBF support output voltages higher than the input voltage?
Yes, the LTC3528BEDDB-2#TRMPBF is a synchronous step-up (boost) converter and inherently supports VOUT > VIN. It also tolerates VIN > VOUT (buck-boost crossover mode), though efficiency drops significantly in that region. The device regulates output across its full 1.6V–5.25V range regardless of input level, as confirmed in the "VIN > VOUT Operation" section of the datasheet.
How does the output disconnect feature work in the LTC3528BEDDB-2#TRMPBF?
The LTC3528BEDDB-2#TRMPBF achieves true output disconnect by disabling the internal P-channel MOSFET rectifier during shutdown and preventing its body diode from conducting. When SHDN is pulled low, VOUT discharges to 0V with no reverse current flow into VIN - unlike conventional boost converters. This eliminates battery drain during storage and enables safe inrush limiting at turn-on.
Can the LTC3528BEDDB-2#TRMPBF be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, the LTC3528BEDDB-2#TRMPBF is internally compensated for stability with ≥10µF ceramic output capacitors (X5R/X7R dielectrics recommended). Its control loop is optimized for low-ESR ceramics, and typical applications use 10µF–22µF MLCCs. Tantalum capacitors may also be used, but ceramic is preferred for size, reliability, and transient response.
What is the purpose of the anti-ringing control in the LTC3528BEDDB-2#TRMPBF?
The anti-ringing control in the LTC3528BEDDB-2#TRMPBF connects an internal switch between SW and VIN during discontinuous conduction mode to dampen high-frequency LC ringing caused by inductor parasitic capacitance. This reduces radiated EMI without requiring external snubbers or ferrite beads - simplifying layout and improving EMC compliance in compact portable designs.
