Product details
Overview
LTC3534EDHC#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a synchronous 4-switch buck-boost DC/DC converter IC designed for single-cell Li-ion or multi-cell alkaline/NiMH battery-powered systems where input voltage crosses the regulated output. It delivers up to 500mA at 5V from 4 AA cells (3.6–6.4V), supports 2.4V–7V input and 1.8V–7V output ranges, operates at fixed 1MHz switching frequency, and achieves up to 94% efficiency with synchronous rectification.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3534EDHC#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3534EDHC#TRPBF pinout, LTC3534EDHC#TRPBF application, or LTC3534EDHC#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its continuous conduction across VIN/VOUT crossover, Burst Mode® operation with 25µA quiescent current, programmable soft-start via RUN/SS, reverse current limit, and thermal/short-circuit protection in a thermally enhanced 16-lead DFN package.
Technical Context
The LTC3534EDHC#TRPBF implements a proprietary 4-switch buck-boost topology that enables seamless transition between buck (VIN > VOUT), buck-boost (VIN ≈ VOUT), and boost (VIN < VOUT) modes using internal PMOS/NMOS switches A–D. Its voltage-mode error amplifier drives the VC pin to control duty cycle phasing, with internal 1MHz oscillator and dual current limiting: average (1.8A typical) and peak (2.6A typical).
Burst Mode® operation disables switching during light loads to reduce quiescent current to 25µA, while fixed-frequency PWM mode ensures low-noise output. The IC integrates output disconnect in shutdown, programmable soft-start via RC on RUN/SS, and active clamp on VC during Burst Mode to minimize transient overshoot upon mode re-entry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 2.4V to 7V - supports 4xAA (3.6–6.4V), single Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), or USB input without external LDO pre-regulation |
| VOUT Range | 1.8V to 7V - adjustable via FB resistor divider; typical 5V output at 500mA for USB power rail generation |
| Switching Frequency | 1MHz ±15% - enables use of compact 4.7µH inductors and 22µF ceramic output capacitors |
| Quiescent Current (Burst) | 25µA typical - extends battery runtime in standby or intermittent-use portable devices |
| Efficiency | Up to 94% - achieved via synchronous rectification and low RDS(ON) switches (215–275mΩ) |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - ensures negligible battery drain when system is powered off |
| Current Limit | 1.8A typical average, 2.6A typical peak - protects against overload and short-circuit conditions |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead (5mm × 3mm × 0.75mm) plastic DFN (DHC) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 17 = PGND). Requires soldering of exposed pad and all GND pins (1, 8, 9, 16) to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (1, 3, 8, 9, 16) | Signal and substrate ground reference | Multiple dedicated GND pins ensure low-impedance return paths for analog and power sections; exposed pad (Pin 17) must be soldered as primary thermal path |
| RUN/SS (2) | Combined enable and soft-start control | Logic threshold: <0.4V = shutdown, >1.4V = enabled; RC network provides controlled VC ramp for inrush current limiting |
| PGND1, PGND2 (4, 7) | Power ground for NMOS switches B and C | Separate high-current ground returns minimize noise coupling into sensitive analog circuitry |
| SW1 (5), SW2 (6) | Internal switch node connections | Connect external inductor between SW1 and SW2; short, low-inductance traces required to suppress EMI and switching losses |
| PWM (10) | Burst Mode® select input | Low = Burst Mode enabled (25µA IQ); high = fixed-frequency PWM mode (low-noise, 1MHz) |
| VOUT (11) | Regulated output terminal | Delivers final DC output; requires local 22µF ceramic capacitor to GND for ripple suppression and transient response |
| PVIN (12) | Power input supply for gate drivers | Must be decoupled with 10µF ceramic capacitor to PGND; separates high-current PVIN path from logic VIN |
| VIN (13) | Main input supply | Connects to battery or source; supplies bias current and logic; shares PGND1/PGND2 return paths |
| VC (14) | Error amplifier output | Drives compensation network (R-C from VC to FB); clamped during soft-start and actively held during Burst Mode |
| FB (15) | Feedback voltage sense input | Monitors resistive divider from VOUT; reference voltage = 1.000V typical; sets output voltage per VOUT = 1.000 × (R1+R2)/R2 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Continuous VIN/VOUT crossover operation | Enables single-stage regulation across full battery discharge curve (e.g., 4.2V → 3.0V Li-ion while maintaining 3.3V or 5V output) |
| Synchronous 4-switch architecture | Eliminates external diodes; achieves 94% peak efficiency and supports bidirectional current flow with reverse current limit |
| Burst Mode® with 25µA IQ | Extends usable battery life in portable instruments by reducing no-load power draw by >95% vs. forced-PWM mode |
| Integrated protection suite | Includes thermal shutdown, short-circuit protection, programmable soft-start, and <1µA shutdown current for safety-critical applications |
| Thermally enhanced DFN package | θJC = 4°C/W enables high-power density designs without heatsinks; exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck-boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS63020DSJR | 3.5V–12V input, 1.2V–5.5V output, 2A max, 2.5MHz switching, integrated inductor option available | Higher input/output voltage flexibility but lower efficiency at light loads (65µA IQ vs. 25µA) | Select for higher output current or integrated inductor needs; avoid if ultra-low IQ is critical for battery lifetime |
| MAX77827BEWC+ | 2.5V–5.5V input, 2.6V–5.2V output, 2A max, I²C programmable, 2.2MHz switching | Narrower VIN/VOUT range, digital interface required, no Burst Mode equivalent | Select when dynamic output voltage adjustment or telemetry is needed; not suitable for simple analog-only designs |
Compared with TPS63020DSJR and MAX77827BEWC+, the LTC3534EDHC#TRPBF offers superior light-load efficiency due to its 25µA Burst Mode IQ and seamless VIN/VOUT crossover, making it optimal for long-duration portable instrumentation where battery life and analog simplicity outweigh programmability or higher current demands.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for the LTC3534EDHC#TRPBF to start up?
The LTC3534EDHC#TRPBF has a guaranteed input start-up voltage of 2.4V, with typical operation beginning at 2.2V. This allows reliable startup from partially discharged 4-cell alkaline or NiMH batteries down to ~0.55V per cell, making it suitable for deep-discharge portable applications where extended runtime is critical. The device maintains regulation across the full 2.4V–7V input range.
How does Burst Mode® operation affect output voltage ripple on the LTC3534EDHC#TRPBF?
Burst Mode® operation on the LTC3534EDHC#TRPBF introduces variable-frequency switching that results in typical 2% peak-to-peak output ripple at light loads. This ripple can be reduced by increasing output capacitance to ≥47µF or adding a feedforward capacitor across the upper FB divider resistor. Fixed-frequency PWM mode eliminates this ripple entirely, delivering low-noise output ideal for sensitive analog circuits.
Can the LTC3534EDHC#TRPBF regulate output voltages below 1.8V?
The LTC3534EDHC#TRPBF supports output voltages as low as 400mV in buck-only mode, but requires an external Schottky diode from SW2 to VOUT when VOUT < 1.8V due to increased RDS(ON) of synchronous switch D. Below 0.9V, current limit folds back to 800mA, and Burst Mode® is inhibited below 1.6V. For sub-1.8V outputs, design validation against load regulation and thermal performance is essential.
What thermal management is required for the LTC3534EDHC#TRPBF in a 500mA, 5V application?
In a 500mA/5V application with 3.6–6.4V input, the LTC3534EDHC#TRPBF dissipates ~350mW at peak load. Its DHC package has θJC = 4°C/W, so a minimum 100mm² copper pour connected to the exposed pad (Pin 17) and multiple thermal vias is required to maintain junction temperature below 125°C. Without adequate PCB copper, thermal shutdown may activate under sustained load.
Is the LTC3534EDHC#TRPBF pin-compatible with other packages in the LTC3534 family?
No - the LTC3534EDHC#TRPBF uses the 16-lead DFN (DHC) package with specific pinout and thermal pad layout, while the LTC3534EGN#TRPBF uses a 16-lead SSOP package with different pin assignments (e.g., GND pins relocated). PCB layout and thermal design are not interchangeable; migration requires full schematic and layout revision. Both share identical electrical functionality and feature set.
