Product details
Overview
LTC3528EDDB#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 1MHz synchronous step-up DC/DC converter with output disconnect, designed for ultra-low-voltage battery-powered systems. It starts up from 0.70V, delivers up to 400mA at 3.3V from two alkaline/NiMH cells, features integrated soft-start and internal compensation, and operates in Burst Mode® with 12µA quiescent current - ideal for portable medical instruments and Bluetooth headsets.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3528EDDB#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC3528EDDB#TRMPBF pinout, LTC3528EDDB#TRMPBF application, or LTC3528EDDB#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 700mV start-up voltage, confirmed 1.6V–5.25V adjustable output range, validated 94% peak efficiency at 400mA, and confirmed 8-lead 3mm × 2mm DFN package with exposed thermal pad.
Technical Context
The LTC3528EDDB#TRMPBF implements fixed-frequency (1MHz) current-mode PWM control with adaptive slope compensation, enabling fast transient response and stable operation without external loop compensation. Its architecture integrates an N-channel MOSFET switch (175mΩ RDS(ON)) and P-channel synchronous rectifier, with zero-current detection to disable the rectifier below ~20mA, minimizing reverse conduction losses.
Burst Mode® operation is automatically engaged below load-dependent thresholds (e.g., ~10mA at VIN = 1.2V, VOUT = 3.3V), reducing quiescent current to 12µA while maintaining regulation via periodic energy bursts. Output disconnect is achieved by disabling the P-channel rectifier body diode path during shutdown, ensuring true VOUT = 0V and eliminating input source drain.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Start-Up Voltage | 0.70V typical - enables operation from single depleted alkaline/NiMH cell before cutoff. |
| Output Voltage Range | 1.6V to 5.25V - programmable via external resistor divider for flexible system rail generation. |
| Switching Frequency | 1MHz fixed - permits use of compact 2.2–4.7µH shielded inductors and low-ESR ceramic capacitors. |
| Peak Efficiency | 94% at VIN = 2.4V, VOUT = 3.3V, IOUT = 400mA - minimizes thermal stress and extends battery runtime. |
| Quiescent Current (Burst) | 12µA - sustains >100-hour standby in always-on wearable sensors without significant battery depletion. |
| Current Limit | 1.5A typical - supports high-pulse loads (e.g., flash LED ignition) without foldback or latch-off. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 160°C junction - protects die during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead 3mm × 2mm × 0.75mm plastic DFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 9), requiring solder connection to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SHDN (Pin 1) | Logic-controlled enable input | Pulled low (<0.25V) disables switching and reduces supply current to <1µA; internal 4MΩ pull-down ensures default shutdown. |
| FB (Pin 2) | Feedback node for output regulation | Connects to resistor divider midpoint; internal 1.200V reference sets VOUT = 1.20V × (1 + R2/R1). |
| PGOOD (Pin 3) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Sinks current when VFB falls >10% below regulation threshold - used for system sequencing or fault monitoring. |
| VOUT (Pin 4) | Regulated output and synchronous rectifier drain | Must connect directly to output capacitor (≥10µF); serves as return path for internal P-MOSFET. |
| SW (Pin 5) | Switch node | Drives external inductor; internal anti-ringing switch connects SW to VIN during discontinuous mode to suppress EMI. |
| PGND (Pin 6) | Power ground return | Low-impedance path for high di/dt currents from input/output capacitors and inductor. |
| SGND (Pin 7) | Signal ground reference | Separate ground for FB, PGOOD, and SHDN to avoid noise coupling into error amplifier. |
| VIN (Pin 8) | Input supply connection | Accepts 0.5V–5V; requires ≥1µF ceramic decoupling placed adjacent to pin. |
| GND (Exposed Pad) | Thermal and electrical ground | Must be soldered to large PCB copper area; failure to do so raises θJA beyond 76°C/W rating. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-Low Start-Up Voltage | 0.70V enables use with single-cell alkaline/NiMH batteries down to end-of-life (~0.8V), extending usable battery capacity. |
| True Output Disconnect | Eliminates body-diode leakage path during shutdown, allowing VOUT to fully discharge and preventing reverse current into weak input sources. |
| Integrated Soft-Start | Ramps peak inductor current from 0 to 1.5A over ~0.5ms, preventing inrush surges into heavy capacitive loads. |
| Anti-Ringing Control | Internally damps SW-node resonance during discontinuous conduction mode, reducing radiated EMI without external snubbers. |
| Internal Compensation | Removes need for external compensation network - simplifies layout and reduces BOM count for space-constrained portable designs. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LTC3528EDDB#TRMPBF to start up and regulate?
The LTC3528EDDB#TRMPBF has a typical start-up voltage of 0.70V and guarantees operation down to 0.5V once started. This allows reliable boot from deeply discharged single alkaline or NiMH cells. The device uses an independent start-up oscillator and internal charge pump to initiate regulation without external assistance, and enters normal operation when either VIN or VOUT exceeds 1.6V.
Does LTC3528EDDB#TRMPBF support output voltages higher than the input voltage?
Yes, LTC3528EDDB#TRMPBF is a step-up (boost) converter and inherently supports VOUT > VIN. It also tolerates VIN > VOUT operation - maintaining regulation even when input exceeds programmed output - though efficiency drops significantly and maximum output current is reduced. This feature enables robustness in variable-source applications like multi-cell battery packs.
How does the output disconnect feature work in LTC3528EDDB#TRMPBF, and why is it important?
The LTC3528EDDB#TRMPBF achieves true output disconnect by disabling the internal P-channel synchronous rectifier's body diode path during shutdown. This prevents reverse current flow from VOUT to VIN, allowing VOUT to fully discharge to 0V and eliminating battery drain. It also enables safe inrush limiting and supports forced VOUT override - critical for systems requiring clean power sequencing or backup battery isolation.
What is the purpose of the anti-ringing control in LTC3528EDDB#TRMPBF?
The anti-ringing control in LTC3528EDDB#TRMPBF activates an internal switch between SW and VIN during discontinuous conduction mode to damp the LC resonance formed by the inductor and SW-node capacitance. This suppresses high-frequency ringing (typically >50MHz), reducing radiated EMI without requiring external snubber networks - simplifying layout and improving EMC compliance in compact portable designs.
Can LTC3528EDDB#TRMPBF be used with lithium-ion input sources?
Yes, LTC3528EDDB#TRMPBF supports lithium-ion inputs (2.7V–4.2V) and is commonly used to generate 5V rails in Li-ion-powered devices such as portable speakers and wireless headsets. Its 6V absolute maximum VIN rating, 1.6V–5.25V output adjust range, and continuous 1MHz operation ensure compatibility. Typical efficiency reaches 92% at 400mA output when stepping 3.6V to 5V.
