Product details
Overview
LTC3545EUD-1#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a triple-output, monolithic synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator IC designed for single-cell Li-ion battery-powered systems. It delivers three independent 800mA outputs with fixed 2.25MHz switching frequency, Burst Mode™ operation only, and dedicated PGOOD pins for all three channels - enabling precise power-on sequencing in compact portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3545EUD-1#PBF datasheet, LTC3545EUD-1#PBF pinout, LTC3545EUD-1#PBF application, or LTC3545EUD-1#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed Burst Mode operation (no MODE/SYNC pin), 0.6V feedback reference, 2.25V–5.5V input range, 16-pin 3mm × 3mm QFN package with exposed thermal pad, and guaranteed –40°C to 125°C operation.
Technical Context
The LTC3545EUD-1#PBF implements a constant-frequency, current-mode control architecture with internal P-channel and N-channel synchronous MOSFETs per channel. Each regulator operates independently with dedicated RUN and PGOOD pins, eliminating external sequencing logic.
Unlike the LTC3545, the -1 variant replaces the SYNC/MODE pin with PGOOD3 and disables pulse-skipping mode - ensuring consistent low-quiescent-current operation (58μA typical) across all load conditions. Its 0.6V reference supports output voltages as low as 0.6V via external resistor dividers, and integrated soft-start (≈1.1ms) limits inrush current during startup.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.25V to 5.5V - compatible with single Li-ion (2.7–4.2V) and regulated 3.3V/5V rails without external LDO pre-regulation. |
| Output Current per Channel | 800mA - sufficient to power core logic, memory, and I/O rails in smartphones and digital cameras. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.25MHz (fixed) - enables use of small 1.5μH inductors and ceramic capacitors, minimizing solution footprint. |
| Quiescent Current | 58μA (Burst Mode, all regulators sleeping) - extends battery life in standby and low-power states. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 0.6V ±12mV (–40°C to 125°C) - allows precise low-voltage regulation (e.g., 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V) with standard resistor tolerances. |
| Power Good Threshold | ±7.5% deviation from VFB - ensures reliable rail monitoring and sequencing without external comparators. |
| RDS(ON) (P-FET / N-FET) | 0.35Ω / 0.35Ω at 100mA - minimizes conduction loss at medium loads; RDS(ON) increases predictably with temperature and input voltage. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead (3mm × 3mm) plastic QFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 17 = GND). Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW1, SW2, SW3 (Pins 1, 5, 8) | Switch node connections for each buck stage | Drive external inductors; must be routed with short, low-inductance paths to minimize EMI and switching losses. |
| PGOOD1, PGOOD2, PGOOD3 (Pins 2, 4, 9) | Open-drain power-good indicators | Enable cascaded enable sequencing (e.g., PGOOD1 → RUN2 → PGOOD2 → RUN3); require external pull-up to appropriate rail. |
| RUN1, RUN2, RUN3 (Pins 14, 3, 10) | Independent regulator enable inputs | Logic-high (>1V) enables corresponding channel; logic-low (<0.3V) forces shutdown with <0.1μA quiescent draw. |
| VFB1, VFB2, VFB3 (Pins 13, 12, 11) | Feedback inputs for output voltage regulation | Connect to resistor divider from output; 0.6V reference sets VOUT = 0.6V × (1 + R1/R2); supports remote sensing. |
| VIN (Pin 15) | Supply for internal bias circuitry and Regulator 1 | Must be decoupled with ≥10μF ceramic capacitor; powers control logic and gate drivers for Channel 1. |
| PVIN (Pin 7) | Power path supply for Regulators 2 and 3 | Separate high-current input for Channels 2/3; requires local ≥4.7μF ceramic decoupling to PGND. |
| GNDA (Pin 16) | Analog ground for control circuitry | Reference for error amplifiers and oscillators; should be connected to clean analog ground plane, separate from PGND if possible. |
| PGND (Pin 6) | Power ground return for Regulators 2 and 3 | High-current return path; must be tied to VIN/PVIN ground planes with low-inductance connection near IC. |

FAQ
What distinguishes LTC3545EUD-1#PBF from the standard LTC3545?
The LTC3545EUD-1#PBF replaces the SYNC/MODE pin with a third PGOOD output (Pin 9) and permanently configures Burst Mode™ operation - disabling pulse-skipping mode entirely. This guarantees consistent 58μA quiescent current and eliminates external mode-selection components. The standard LTC3545 retains the SYNC/MODE pin for external clock synchronization or manual mode selection. Both share identical pinout, package, and electrical specs except for this functional difference.
Can LTC3545EUD-1#PBF support output voltages below 0.6V?
No. The LTC3545EUD-1#PBF has a fixed 0.6V internal reference voltage, and its feedback architecture requires VFB to be regulated to exactly 0.6V. Output voltage is calculated as VOUT = 0.6V × (1 + R1/R2), meaning the minimum achievable output is 0.6V (when R2 = open and R1 = 0Ω - not recommended). For sub-0.6V rails, an external reference or different regulator architecture is required.
How does thermal performance of LTC3545EUD-1#PBF depend on PCB layout?
Thermal performance of LTC3545EUD-1#PBF is critically dependent on soldering the exposed thermal pad (Pin 17) to a large, multi-layer PCB ground plane. With proper layout (≥4 thermal vias to inner ground layers), θJA is 55°C/W. Poor pad connection raises junction temperature significantly - e.g., unconnected pad increases θJA to >100°C/W, risking thermal shutdown at >400mA per channel in ambient >60°C. Layout guidelines are detailed in Linear's Application Note 138.
Is LTC3545EUD-1#PBF RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes. LTC3545EUD-1#PBF carries the #PBF suffix, indicating it is lead-free and RoHS-compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. The device uses matte tin finish on all leads and conforms to JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL3), requiring bake-out only if exposed to ambient >30°C/60% RH for >168 hours before reflow.
What is the maximum recommended output capacitance for LTC3545EUD-1#PBF?
The LTC3545EUD-1#PBF supports ceramic output capacitors up to 100μF per channel without stability issues, as its current-mode control loop does not rely on ESR for compensation. Typical designs use 10μF–47μF X5R/X7R ceramics. Larger values improve transient response but increase inrush current during startup - soft-start duration (≈1.1ms) remains effective up to 100μF. Avoid high-voltage-rated (e.g., 25V) ceramics with excessive DC bias derating.
