Product details
Overview
LTC3539EDCB#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a synchronous 2A step-up DC/DC converter with output disconnect, fixed 1MHz switching frequency, 700mV start-up voltage, and internal N- and P-channel MOSFETs in a 2mm × 3mm DFN-8 package. It delivers up to 900mA at 3.3V from two alkaline/NiMH cells and supports adjustable output from 1.5V to 5.25V - used in portable GPS navigation, noise-canceling headphones, and handheld PCs.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3539EDCB#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC3539EDCB#TRMPBF pinout, LTC3539EDCB#TRMPBF application, or LTC3539EDCB#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include start-up voltage (700mV), output disconnect capability, Burst Mode® vs PWM mode control via MODE pin, and thermal shutdown behavior at 160°C.
Technical Context
The LTC3539EDCB#TRMPBF employs current-mode PWM control with internal slope compensation and adaptive peak-current limiting (2.6A typical), enabling fast transient response and stable operation without external loop compensation. Its independent start-up oscillator enables operation from 0.7V input, and once VOUT exceeds VIN by 0.24V, the IC self-powers from VOUT - decoupling regulation from further VIN dependency.
It integrates anti-ringing circuitry that connects an internal resistor between SW and VIN during discontinuous conduction mode to suppress high-frequency ringing and reduce EMI. Output disconnect is achieved by eliminating body diode conduction of the internal P-channel synchronous rectifier, enabling true zero-VOUT shutdown and inrush current limiting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | Fixed 1MHz - enables use of compact 2.2–4.7µH inductors and ceramic capacitors, minimizing solution footprint. |
| Input Voltage Range | 0.5V to 5V after start-up; 700mV minimum start-up voltage - supports single-cell alkaline/NiMH and Li-ion battery applications with deep discharge tolerance. |
| Output Voltage Range | Adjustable 1.5V to 5.25V via external resistor divider - accommodates 3.3V logic rails and 5V USB-peripheral interfaces. |
| Feedback Voltage | 1.200V ±1.5% - sets precise output regulation accuracy; enables ±1.5% total output tolerance with proper resistor selection. |
| Peak Switch Current Limit | 2.6A typical - ensures robust overload handling while maintaining efficiency across wide VIN/VOUT combinations. |
| Quiescent Current (Burst Mode) | 10µA - extends battery life in standby or low-duty-cycle portable devices such as bar code scanners. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - meets ultra-low-power system requirements during full system sleep states. |
| Efficiency | Up to 94% - achieved via synchronous rectification and low RDS(ON) MOSFETs (0.09Ω NMOS / 0.125Ω PMOS at VOUT = 3.3V). |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead (2mm × 3mm × 0.75mm) plastic DFN with exposed pad (Pin 9), which must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pin 1) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; internal N-MOSFET drain - requires short, wide PCB trace to minimize EMI and switching losses. |
| PGND (Pin 2) | Power ground | Low-impedance return path for inductor current; must tie directly to input/output capacitor negatives and exposed pad. |
| GND (Pin 3) | Signal ground | Reference for FB, MODE, SHDN; routed separately from PGND but joined at single point near exposed pad. |
| VIN (Pin 4) | Battery input | Accepts 0.5–5V; requires ≥2.2µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| SHDN (Pin 5) | Logic shutdown control | Pulled internally to GND via 4MΩ; drives <1µA shutdown current when held below 0.3V. |
| FB (Pin 6) | Feedback input | Senses resistive divider output; regulates VOUT = 1.2V × (1 + R2/R1); input bias current ≤50nA. |
| MODE (Pin 7) | Operation mode select | High = automatic Burst Mode® at light loads; Low = forced fixed-frequency PWM - no external pull-up required. |
| VOUT (Pin 8) | Regulated output / sync rectifier drain | Provides regulated output and serves as source of internal P-MOSFET; trace to output capacitor must be short and wide. |
| Exposed Pad (Pin 9) | Thermal & electrical ground | Must be soldered to PCB ground plane; critical for thermal resistance (θJA = 64°C/W) and EMI suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Output disconnect | Eliminates body diode conduction in P-MOSFET, enabling true zero-VOUT shutdown and preventing reverse current into VIN source. |
| Anti-ringing control | Internal resistor connects SW to VIN during DCM to damp LC resonance - reduces radiated EMI without external components. |
| Internal soft-start | Ramps peak inductor current from 0 to 2.6A in ~0.5ms - prevents inrush surges into heavy capacitive loads at startup. |
| Zero-current detection | Shuts off synchronous rectifier at ~40mA inductor current - prevents reverse current and improves light-load efficiency. |
| Thermal shutdown | Activates at TJ = 160°C; disables all switches and discharges soft-start capacitor - protects against sustained overloads. |
| UVLO with hysteresis | Start-up at 0.7V (typ), with hysteresis ensuring reliable restart only after VIN recovers sufficiently above threshold. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required to start up the LTC3539EDCB#TRMPBF?
The LTC3539EDCB#TRMPBF features an independent start-up oscillator that initiates operation at a minimum input voltage of 700mV (typical) with 1mA load and 0V output. Once started, it continues regulating down to 500mV input, provided the power source can sustain the required energy transfer under high duty cycle conditions.
Does the LTC3539EDCB#TRMPBF support output voltages higher than the input voltage?
Yes, the LTC3539EDCB#TRMPBF is a step-up (boost) converter and inherently supports VOUT > VIN. It also tolerates VIN > VOUT operation - maintaining regulation even when input exceeds output - though efficiency and maximum output current decrease in that mode per the Typical Performance Characteristics curves.
How does the MODE pin affect operation of the LTC3539EDCB#TRMPBF?
The MODE pin on the LTC3539EDCB#TRMPBF selects between two operating modes: pulling MODE high (>0.88V) enables automatic Burst Mode® at light loads (reducing quiescent current to 10µA), while pulling MODE low (<0.3V) forces continuous fixed-frequency PWM operation - useful for noise-sensitive applications requiring constant switching frequency.
What is the purpose of the exposed pad on the LTC3539EDCB#TRMPBF package?
The exposed pad (Pin 9) on the LTC3539EDCB#TRMPBF is electrically connected to GND and serves as both a thermal conduction path and a low-inductance ground return. It must be soldered to the PCB ground plane to achieve the specified θJA of 64°C/W; failure to do so results in significantly higher junction temperature and potential thermal shutdown.
Can the LTC3539EDCB#TRMPBF be used without external Schottky diodes?
Yes - the LTC3539EDCB#TRMPBF integrates synchronous N- and P-channel MOSFETs and requires no external Schottky diode. Adding one from SW to VOUT improves efficiency by ~2% but defeats output disconnect, VIN > VOUT operation, and short-circuit protection - so it is not recommended unless efficiency is prioritized over those safety and control features.
