Product details
Overview
LTC3529EDCB#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 5V synchronous step-up DC/DC converter optimized for USB On-The-Go (OTG) host power delivery. It delivers up to 500mA output current from a single Li-ion cell (1.8V–4.2V), features 1.5MHz fixed-frequency PWM control, internal MOSFETs with 90mΩ NMOS and 120mΩ PMOS RDS(ON), and operates in an 8-lead 2mm × 3mm DFN package.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3529EDCB#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3529EDCB#TRPBF pinout, LTC3529EDCB#TRPBF application, or LTC3529EDCB#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world USB OTG use cases, validated alternative parts, and supply-chain support for embedded portable designs requiring robust 5V VBUS generation with fault detection and output disconnect.
Technical Context
The LTC3529EDCB#TRPBF uses current-mode PWM control with internal compensation and a 1.5MHz oscillator, enabling stable regulation across 1.8V–5.25V input and fixed 5V output. Its dual-MOSFET synchronous rectification eliminates body-diode conduction, enabling true output disconnect during shutdown.
Fault protection includes 22ms deglitched overcurrent detection on FAULT, programmable auto-restart or latchoff via RST, thermal shutdown at ~160°C, and anti-ringing circuitry that connects a 100Ω resistor between SW and VIN in discontinuous mode to suppress EMI.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5V ±3% (4.85V–5.15V); meets USB OTG VBUS specification without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 500mA at 5V from 3.6V input; supports full USB OTG host power capability. |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8V to 5.25V; enables operation from single Li-ion (2.5V–4.2V) or two alkaline cells (1.8V–3.2V). |
| Switching Frequency | 1.5MHz (1.2–1.8MHz range); allows compact 4.7μH inductors and low-ESR ceramic capacitors. |
| Efficiency | Up to 95% at 3.6V input / 500mA load; minimizes thermal rise in space-constrained portable devices. |
| Shutdown Current | <1μA; preserves battery life during host idle states in USB OTG applications. |
| Fault Response | 22ms deglitched FAULT assertion; prevents false triggers during transient overloads. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead 2mm × 3mm × 0.75mm plastic DFN (DCB) with exposed pad (Pin 9) soldered to PCB ground for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 8) | Input supply connection | Accepts 1.8V–5.25V; must be decoupled with ≥3.3μF low-ESR ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| SW (Pin 2) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; high di/dt node requiring short/wide trace and anti-ringing control to minimize EMI. |
| VOUT (Pin 1) | Regulated 5V output & sense | Drain of internal PMOS rectifier; requires short/wide trace to output capacitor to maintain regulation and stability. |
| PGND (Pin 4) | Power ground return | High-current path for inductor and MOSFETs; must connect directly to exposed pad and ground plane. |
| FAULT (Pin 5) | Open-drain fault flag | Pulls low after 22ms overcurrent; used by host MCU to detect short-circuit or overload on VBUS line. |
| RST (Pin 7) | Fault recovery mode select | High = auto-restart every 22ms; Low = latchoff until SHDN toggle or VIN cycle - critical for system-level fault containment. |
| SHDN (Pin 3) | Active-low enable | Logic threshold: <0.35V = shutdown (<1μA IQ); >1V = active; supports voltage levels above VIN/VOUT. |
| SNSGND (Pin 6) | Sense ground reference | Must tie directly to PGND at single point near IC; separates current-sense reference from noisy power ground. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| USB OTG–specific fault detection | 22ms deglitched FAULT output enables reliable VBUS overload detection per USB OTG spec, avoiding nuisance shutdowns. |
| True output disconnect | Eliminates PMOS body diode conduction during shutdown, ensuring VOUT drops to 0V and zero reverse current from input source. |
| Integrated soft-start | 2ms controlled ramp of current limit prevents inrush surge; automatically reinitiated after fault recovery or enable. |
| Anti-ringing control | Internal 100Ω switch between SW and VIN in DCM reduces high-frequency ringing, lowering radiated EMI without external components. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Shuts down at ~160°C junction temperature; restarts automatically after ~10°C cooldown, protecting against sustained overloads. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3528EDE#TRPBF | 1A max output, 1MHz switching, same 2mm × 3mm DFN but 10-pin; lacks FAULT deglitch timer and RST-configurable recovery. | Higher current capability but no USB OTG–specific fault signaling; suited for general 5V boost where fault diagnostics are handled externally. | Select LTC3528EDE#TRPBF only if >500mA load or lower switching frequency is required; not drop-in for USB OTG compliance. |
| LTC3422EDE#TRPBF | 1.5A max output, 3MHz switching, 3mm × 3mm DFN-10; includes output disconnect but no integrated FAULT timer or deglitch logic. | Targeted at higher-power portable systems; requires external logic for 22ms fault timing and recovery mode selection. | Choose LTC3422EDE#TRPBF for 3MHz operation and higher current, but expect added design complexity for USB OTG fault handling. |
Compared with LTC3529EDCB#TRPBF, LTC3528EDE#TRPBF offers higher current at lower frequency but omits USB OTG–specific fault management, while LTC3422EDE#TRPBF delivers greater power density at 3MHz yet requires external circuitry to replicate the integrated 22ms deglitched FAULT and RST-selectable recovery behavior.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage supported by the LTC3529EDCB#TRPBF?
The LTC3529EDCB#TRPBF supports an input voltage range from 1.8V to 5.25V. This allows reliable operation from a single Li-ion cell across its full discharge curve (2.5V–4.2V) or two alkaline cells (1.8V–3.2V), making it ideal for portable USB OTG host applications where input voltage varies significantly.
Does the LTC3529EDCB#TRPBF provide true output disconnect, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the LTC3529EDCB#TRPBF provides true output disconnect by eliminating body-diode conduction of its internal P-channel MOSFET rectifier. During shutdown (SHDN low), VOUT is actively pulled to 0V with no reverse current flow from the output capacitor back into the input source - a critical feature for USB OTG compliance and system-level power isolation.
How does the FAULT pin on the LTC3529EDCB#TRPBF behave during an overcurrent event?
The FAULT pin on the LTC3529EDCB#TRPBF is an open-drain output that pulls low only after an overcurrent condition persists for ≥22ms, with built-in deglitching to prevent false triggering. Its state remains low until the fault clears and the device either auto-restarts (RST high) or is manually reset (SHDN toggle or VIN cycle), ensuring robust USB bus protection.
Can the LTC3529EDCB#TRPBF operate with a 6.8μF output capacitor, and why is this value significant?
Yes, the LTC3529EDCB#TRPBF is stable with a 6.8μF output capacitor, which complies with the USB On-The-Go specification limiting output capacitance to ≤6.5μF. A 6.8μF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor provides optimal trade-off between low ESR, minimal voltage ripple, and USB OTG compliance - larger values (e.g., 10μF) improve transient response but exceed spec limits.
What thermal protection mechanism does the LTC3529EDCB#TRPBF include, and at what temperature does it activate?
The LTC3529EDCB#TRPBF includes thermal shutdown that activates at approximately 160°C junction temperature. When triggered, all internal switches turn off, the FAULT pin asserts low, and the device remains latched off until the die cools by ~10°C, at which point a soft-start sequence initiates automatically - protecting against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design.
