Product details
Overview
LTC3536EDD#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a synchronous 4-switch buck-boost DC/DC converter delivering up to 1A continuous output current with ±1% output voltage accuracy, 1.8V–5.5V input/output range, and programmable 300kHz–2MHz switching frequency. It operates seamlessly across buck, boost, and buck-boost modes-ideal for RF power supplies and precision portable instrumentation where input voltage may dip below or rise above the regulated output.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3536EDD#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3536EDD#TRPBF pinout, LTC3536EDD#TRPBF application, or LTC3536EDD#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its low-noise architecture, 32µA Burst Mode quiescent current, internal soft-start, output disconnect in shutdown, and compatibility with 3mm × 3mm DFN packaging for space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The LTC3536EDD#TRPBF implements a proprietary 4-switch topology with two integrated P-channel and two N-channel MOSFETs, enabling continuous regulation when VIN < VOUT, VIN > VOUT, or VIN ≈ VOUT without mode transition artifacts. Its voltage-mode control loop uses an internal error amplifier (90dB gain) with external Type III compensation via VC–FB network.
Switching is governed by a resistor-programmable oscillator (RT pin) or external synchronization via MODE/SYNC pin (0.3–2MHz), while dual current limiting-input limit (2.5A typ.) and peak switch limit (3.4A typ.)-protects against overload and short-circuit faults. Reverse current limiting (0.55A typ.) actively disables SW2 during forced reverse conduction.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, NiMH, or supercapacitor inputs without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Range | 1.8V to 5.5V - adjustable via FB divider; fixed 3.3V typical in reference designs. |
| Continuous Output Current | 1A at VIN ≥ 3V, VOUT = 3.3V - derates at extreme step-up/down ratios due to inductor current constraints. |
| Quiescent Current (Burst Mode) | 32µA - extends battery runtime in standby for handheld medical or wireless sensors. |
| Switching Frequency | 300kHz–2MHz - set by RT resistor or synchronized externally; default 1.2MHz when RT tied to VIN. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 0.6V ±1% - enables precise output setting with minimal divider error sensitivity. |
| Shutdown Current | 1µA - ensures near-zero drain during system sleep states. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | 125°C - protects device under sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
The LTC3536EDD#TRPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 10-pin (3mm × 3mm) plastic DFN package with exposed PGND pad (Pin 11) requiring solder connection to PCB ground plane for optimal thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RT (Pin 1) | Oscillator frequency programming | Resistor-to-GND sets fSW = 100/RT (kΩ); tie to VIN for 1.2MHz default. |
| SGND (Pin 2) | Analog ground reference | Separate Kelvin return for FB/VC; must be isolated from high-current PGND paths. |
| MODE/SYNC (Pin 3) | Operation mode control & sync input | Logic 0 = PWM; logic 1 = Burst Mode; external clock input (0.3–2MHz) for EMI reduction. |
| SW1 (Pin 4) | High-side switch node | Connects to one end of buck-boost inductor; carries bidirectional current in all operating modes. |
| SW2 (Pin 5) | Low-side switch node | Connects to other end of inductor; critical for minimizing layout-induced ringing and noise. |
| VOUT (Pin 6) | Regulated power output | Requires low-ESR ceramic capacitor (≥22µF) placed adjacent to pin with short ground return. |
| VIN (Pin 7) | Main power input | Accepts 1.8–5.5V; requires ≥10µF low-ESR bypass cap close to pin with minimal trace inductance. |
| SHDN (Pin 8) | Enable/disable control | Active-high; pulls total supply current to ≤1µA in shutdown with output disconnected. |
| FB (Pin 9) | Feedback voltage sensing | Monitors resistive divider; regulates VOUT = 0.6V × (1 + RTOP/RBOT) with 50nA input bias. |
| VC (Pin 10) | Error amplifier output | Connects to external Type III compensation network (RFF, CFF, CPOLE, CFB) for loop stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Seamless buck-boost mode transitions | Eliminates output transients and subharmonics during VIN crossing VOUT-critical for RF-sensitive loads. |
| Low-noise PWM operation | Fixed-frequency switching with voltage-mode control yields predictable EMI spectrum and <20mVPP ripple at 1A load. |
| Burst Mode efficiency optimization | Reduces no-load IQ to 32µA while maintaining regulation-ideal for intermittent-sensing applications. |
| Integrated protection suite | Includes overtemperature shutdown, input/peak/reverse current limiting, and internal soft-start (0.9ms typ.). |
| Output disconnect in shutdown | Prevents backfeed from VOUT to VIN-enables safe integration into multi-rail systems with independent power sequencing. |
| Small-footprint DFN package | 3mm × 3mm outline with exposed thermal pad achieves θJA = 39.7°C/W for high-power density layouts. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck-boost regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS63020DSJR | Lower max output current (600mA), fixed 3.3V/5V options only; no RT programming or external sync. | Suitable for cost-sensitive consumer wearables but lacks programmability for precision industrial use. | Select if fixed-output, lower-cost, and smaller solution size outweigh need for adjustable frequency and fine VOUT tuning. |
| MAX77827AEWE+T | Higher IQ in low-power mode (20µA), but limited to 500mA output and narrower 2.5–5.5V input range. | Better for always-on IoT nodes with strict µA-level standby budgets, not for 1A peak loads. | Choose when ultra-low quiescent current dominates over output current capability and input flexibility. |
Compared with TPS63020DSJR and MAX77827AEWE+T, the LTC3536EDD#TRPBF uniquely combines 1A output, full 1.8–5.5V I/O adjustability, programmable frequency, and true seamless buck-boost operation-making it the preferred choice for high-fidelity portable instrumentation and RF subsystems.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the LTC3536EDD#TRPBF?
The LTC3536EDD#TRPBF delivers up to 1A continuous output current when VIN ≥ 3V and VOUT = 3.3V. At lower input voltages-e.g., VIN = 1.8V-the maximum continuous output drops to 300mA due to increased inductor current requirements in boost mode. Derating curves are provided in the Typical Performance Characteristics section of the LTC3536EDD#TRPBF datasheet.
Does the LTC3536EDD#TRPBF support external frequency synchronization?
Yes, the LTC3536EDD#TRPBF supports external synchronization via the MODE/SYNC pin. When driven with a clean clock signal (0.3–2MHz, ≥1.2V high level, 10–90% duty cycle), the internal oscillator locks to the external source-enabling EMI reduction through frequency dithering or alignment with system clocks. This capability is confirmed in the Pin Functions and Operation sections of the LTC3536EDD#TRPBF datasheet.
How does the LTC3536EDD#TRPBF handle output voltage regulation when VIN equals VOUT?
The LTC3536EDD#TRPBF uses a proprietary 4-switch control algorithm that enables seamless, transient-free regulation when VIN = VOUT-without entering discontinuous conduction or introducing subharmonic oscillation. During this "pass-through" region, switches A and D remain on while B and C modulate to maintain feedback loop stability. This behavior is explicitly verified in the Block Diagram and Operation sections of the LTC3536EDD#TRPBF datasheet.
What compensation network is required for stable operation of the LTC3536EDD#TRPBF?
The LTC3536EDD#TRPBF requires an external Type III compensation network between VC and FB pins, typically comprising RFF, CFF, CPOLE, and CFB. This configuration provides sufficient phase margin across load and input variations. Recommended values are detailed in the Applications Information section of the LTC3536EDD#TRPBF datasheet, with Figure 2 illustrating the standard implementation.
Is the LTC3536EDD#TRPBF pin-compatible with other packages in the LTC3536 family?
No, the LTC3536EDD#TRPBF (10-pin DFN) is not pin-compatible with the LTC3536EMSE#TRPBF (12-pin MSOP). While both share identical functionality and electrical specifications, their pin assignments differ-for example, SHDN is Pin 8 in DFN but Pin 10 in MSOP, and PGND is the exposed pad (Pin 11) in DFN versus Pin 5 + exposed pad (Pin 13) in MSOP. Layout redesign is required when substituting packages.
