Product details
Overview
LTC3539EDCB-2#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 2A, 2MHz synchronous step-up DC/DC converter with output disconnect, designed for ultra-low-voltage battery-powered systems. It starts up from 700mV, operates down to 500mV after startup, delivers up to 5.25V output across 1.5–5.25V range, and achieves up to 94% efficiency in a 2mm × 3mm DFN package - enabling compact 3.3V/5V regulation from single-cell alkaline, NiMH, or Li-Po sources.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3539EDCB-2#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC3539EDCB-2#TRMPBF pinout, LTC3539EDCB-2#TRMPBF application, or LTC3539EDCB-2#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2MHz fixed-frequency operation (vs. 1MHz LTC3539), 10µA Burst Mode quiescent current, ±1.5% feedback voltage tolerance, output disconnect capability, and compatibility with low-profile 2.2µH inductors for space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The LTC3539EDCB-2#TRMPBF implements current-mode PWM control with internal slope compensation and adaptive peak-current limiting (2.6A typical), enabling fast transient response and stable regulation across wide input/output ratios. Its architecture integrates an N-channel main switch (90mΩ RDS(ON)) and P-channel synchronous rectifier (125mΩ RDS(ON)), both optimized for high efficiency at light and heavy loads.
Burst Mode® operation is enabled via the MODE pin and reduces quiescent current to 10µA while maintaining regulation; anti-ringing circuitry damps SW-pin oscillation during discontinuous conduction mode to suppress EMI. The device features true output disconnect, thermal shutdown (160°C), and internal soft-start (0.5ms ramp), all implemented without external compensation components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 2MHz fixed - enables use of sub-3µH inductors and 0402/0603 ceramic capacitors, minimizing solution footprint. |
| Input Voltage Range | 0.5V to 5V after startup; 0.7V minimum start-up - supports single-cell alkaline/NiMH (0.9–1.6V) and Li-Po (3.0–4.5V) inputs. |
| Output Voltage Range | 1.5V to 5.25V adjustable via resistor divider - covers standard logic rails (1.8V, 3.3V, 5V) with ±1.5% FB voltage tolerance. |
| Peak Switch Current Limit | 2.6A typical - sustains 900mA output at 3.3V from 2× alkaline cells or 750mA at 5V from Li-Po with margin. |
| Quiescent Current (Burst Mode) | 10µA - extends battery life in standby or sensor-monitoring modes where load averages <1mA. |
| Output Disconnect | True VOUT = 0V shutdown - eliminates reverse leakage through body diode, prevents battery drain, and enables VIN > VOUT operation. |
| Package | 8-lead 2mm × 3mm × 0.75mm DFN with exposed pad - requires soldered GND pad for thermal management (θJA = 64°C/W). |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic DFN (2mm × 3mm × 0.75mm), exposed pad (Pin 9) must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pin 1) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt switching current - requires short, wide trace to minimize EMI and voltage spikes. |
| PGND (Pin 2) | Power ground | Low-impedance return path for inductor current and internal N-MOSFET source - must tie directly to input/output capacitor (–) terminals. |
| GND (Pin 3) | Signal ground | Reference for FB, MODE, SHDN comparators - routed separately from PGND but joined at single point near exposed pad. |
| VIN (Pin 4) | Input supply | Accepts 0.5–5V; requires ≥2.2µF ceramic decoupling close to pin to stabilize low-VIN start-up and reduce ripple. |
| SHDN (Pin 5) | Shutdown control | Logic-high (>0.88V) enables operation; logic-low (<0.3V) disables switching and reduces IQ to <1µA - internal 4MΩ pull-down. |
| FB (Pin 6) | Feedback input | Senses resistive divider output; regulates VOUT = 1.2V × (1 + R2/R1); input bias current ≤50nA minimizes divider error. |
| MODE (Pin 7) | Operating mode select | High (>0.88V): automatic Burst Mode; Low (<0.3V): forced PWM - no external pull-up/down required. |
| VOUT (Pin 8) | Regulated output / sync rectifier drain | Delivers regulated voltage; connects to output capacitor - trace must be short/wide to minimize ESR-induced ripple and noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 2MHz fixed-frequency operation | Enables use of 1.5–2.5µH inductors and 0603/0805 ceramic capacitors, reducing total solution size by >30% vs. 1MHz alternatives. |
| 700mV start-up voltage | Allows reliable boot from nearly-dead single-cell batteries (e.g., 0.9V alkaline under load), extending usable battery life. |
| Output disconnect with zero reverse current | Eliminates VOUT hold-up and battery drain during shutdown - critical for medical sensors and always-on IoT endpoints. |
| Internal loop compensation | Reduces BOM count to only 6 external components (inductor, 2× caps, 2× resistors, feedforward cap) - accelerates design validation. |
| Anti-ringing circuitry | Damps SW-node resonance in discontinuous mode, lowering radiated EMI without adding snubbers or ferrite beads. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3539EDCB#TRMPBF | 1MHz switching frequency; higher inductor value (3.3–4.7µH) required; slightly lower light-load efficiency at 2.5V output | Better suited for 5V output from Li-Po where Burst Mode entry threshold is more predictable below 1.8V input | Select when 1MHz operation simplifies EMI filtering or when legacy layout uses larger inductors. |
| LTC3422EDE#TRMPBF | 3MHz switching; 1.5A current limit; 3mm × 3mm DFN; no output disconnect; 25µA Burst Mode IQ | Higher frequency enables smaller passives but lacks true output disconnect and has lower max current | Choose for ultra-compact 3.3V supplies where output disconnect is unnecessary and 1.5A suffices. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LTC3539EDCB-2#TRMPBF to start up?
The LTC3539EDCB-2#TRMPBF starts up from a minimum input voltage of 700mV (typical) with 1mA load and 0V output. Once started, it continues operating down to 500mV input. This capability enables reliable operation from nearly depleted single-cell alkaline or NiMH batteries, and is verified across –40°C to 85°C ambient temperature per the datasheet's Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Does LTC3539EDCB-2#TRMPBF support output voltages above the input voltage (VIN > VOUT)?
Yes, the LTC3539EDCB-2#TRMPBF supports VIN > VOUT operation while maintaining regulation, as confirmed in the Applications Information section. However, efficiency and maximum output current decrease in this mode - for example, at VIN = 4.2V and VOUT = 3.3V, efficiency drops to ~85% at 500mA load per Typical Performance Characteristics Figure G03.
How does the MODE pin affect LTC3539EDCB-2#TRMPBF operation?
The MODE pin on LTC3539EDCB-2#TRMPBF selects between Burst Mode (MODE > 0.88V) and forced PWM (MODE < 0.3V). In Burst Mode, the device cycles between active switching and sleep (10µA IQ) to maximize light-load efficiency; in PWM mode, it pulses-skips at very low loads. The pin draws <1µA and requires no external bias.
What is the purpose of the exposed pad (Pin 9) on LTC3539EDCB-2#TRMPBF?
The exposed pad (Pin 9) on LTC3539EDCB-2#TRMPBF is electrically and thermally connected to GND. It must be soldered to the PCB ground plane to achieve the specified θJA = 64°C/W thermal resistance; failure to do so raises junction temperature significantly, risking thermal shutdown during 2A continuous operation per Package Description Note 6.
Can LTC3539EDCB-2#TRMPBF be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, LTC3539EDCB-2#TRMPBF is optimized for ceramic output capacitors ≥22µF, as stated in the Output Capacitor Selection section. X5R or X7R dielectrics are recommended for stable capacitance across voltage and temperature; Y5V types are explicitly discouraged due to severe capacitance loss at bias.
