Product details
Overview
LTC3545EUD#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a triple-channel, monolithic synchronous step-down DC/DC converter IC designed for single-cell Li-ion battery-powered systems. It delivers three independent 800mA outputs with 2.25MHz fixed-frequency operation, 0.6V feedback reference, and selectable low-ripple pulse-skip or high-efficiency Burst Mode™ operation - enabling compact power delivery in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3545EUD#PBF datasheet, LTC3545EUD#PBF pinout, LTC3545EUD#PBF application, or LTC3545EUD#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (2.25V–5.5V), per-channel PGOOD signaling, SYNC/MODE pin functionality, thermal performance in 3mm × 3mm QFN, and compatibility with ceramic output capacitors for low-ripple point-of-load regulation.
Technical Context
The LTC3545EUD#PBF implements a constant-frequency, current-mode control architecture across three independent buck regulators, each with internal P-channel and N-channel synchronous MOSFETs. It supports external clock synchronization (1MHz–3MHz) and features separate RUNx enable inputs and open-drain PGOODx indicators for precise power-on sequencing.
Its Burst Mode™ operation achieves 58μA quiescent current per regulator while maintaining regulation, and the 0.6V reference enables output voltages as low as 0.6V. The device operates over –40°C to 125°C junction temperature, with RDS(ON) of 0.35Ω (P-FET) and 0.35Ω (N-FET) at 100mA, ensuring high efficiency across load ranges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.25V to 5.5V - supports direct connection to single Li-ion battery (2.7V–4.2V typical) without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current per Channel | 800mA - sufficient for core logic, memory, and I/O rails in smartphones and digital cameras. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.25MHz (internal) or 1MHz–3MHz (externally synchronized) - enables use of small 1.5μH inductors and reduces EMI filtering burden. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 0.6V ±12mV - allows precise programming of low-voltage rails (e.g., 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V) using standard resistor dividers. |
| Quiescent Current (Burst Mode) | 58μA per regulator - extends battery life in standby/sleep states without sacrificing wake-up response. |
| Efficiency (Typical) | Up to 95% at full load - minimizes thermal stress and PCB area in thermally constrained handheld designs. |
| Package | 16-lead 3mm × 3mm QFN with exposed pad - provides low θJA = 55°C/W for reliable operation at 125°C max junction temperature. |
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 integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW1, SW2, SW3 (Pins 1, 5, 8) | Switch node connections | Drive external inductors; must be routed with short, low-inductance paths to minimize switching noise and voltage spikes. |
| RUN1, RUN2, RUN3 (Pins 14, 3, 10) | Independent enable inputs | Logic-high (>1V) activates corresponding regulator; allows flexible power sequencing and dynamic rail control. |
| PGOOD1, PGOOD2, PGOOD3 (Pins 2, 4, 9) | Open-drain power-good indicators | Assert low when output falls >7.5% below target - used for system reset, sequencing, or fault monitoring. |
| VFB1, VFB2, VFB3 (Pins 13, 12, 11) | Feedback inputs | Monitor output via resistive divider; 0.6V reference sets regulation point - supports remote sensing for improved load regulation. |
| VIN (Pin 15), PVIN (Pin 7), GNDA (Pin 16), PGND (Pin 6) | Power and ground domains | VIN powers control circuitry (Reg1); PVIN powers power stages (Reg2/Reg3); GNDA/PGND separation reduces noise coupling between analog and power paths. |
| SYNC/MODE (Pin 9) | Mode select & sync input | Pulled high → pulse-skip mode; pulled low → Burst Mode™; driven by external clock → synchronized pulse-skip at 1–3MHz. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple independent 800mA buck regulators | Enables single-chip solution for multi-rail systems (e.g., core, I/O, memory) - eliminates need for three discrete converters and simplifies layout. |
| 2.25MHz constant-frequency operation | Permits use of 1.5μH inductors and 10μF ceramic output capacitors - reduces total BOM size and cost vs lower-frequency alternatives. |
| Low-ripple Burst Mode™ with 58μA IQ | Delivers <20mVP-P output ripple at light loads while achieving >85% efficiency at 1mA - critical for noise-sensitive RF and sensor subsystems. |
| 0.6V precision feedback reference | Supports accurate low-voltage outputs (e.g., 1.2V ±1%) with standard 1% resistors - eliminates need for external reference or trimming. |
| Independent RUN and PGOOD per channel | Allows hardware-controlled power sequencing (e.g., VDDIO before VDDCORE) and real-time rail health monitoring without external logic. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current per channel for the LTC3545EUD#PBF?
The LTC3545EUD#PBF supports up to 800mA continuous output current per channel under typical thermal conditions (θJA = 55°C/W, TA ≤ 85°C). Derating is required at higher ambient temperatures or in dropout operation; full 800mA per channel is achievable across all three regulators simultaneously only with adequate PCB copper pour and airflow.
Does the LTC3545EUD#PBF support external clock synchronization?
Yes, the LTC3545EUD#PBF supports external clock synchronization via the SYNC/MODE pin (Pin 9). When driven by a 1MHz to 3MHz square wave, the device locks its switching frequency to the external clock while operating in pulse-skip mode - enabling EMI reduction and system-level clock alignment.
How does Burst Mode™ operation differ from pulse-skip mode on the LTC3545EUD#PBF?
Burst Mode™ operation on the LTC3545EUD#PBF reduces quiescent current to 58μA per regulator and produces higher output ripple (<20mVP-P) but achieves >85% efficiency at 1mA load. Pulse-skip mode maintains continuous internal bias, yields lower ripple, but draws ~310μA and is less efficient below ~10mA - selected via the SYNC/MODE pin state.
Can the LTC3545EUD#PBF be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, the LTC3545EUD#PBF is fully compatible with ceramic output capacitors. Its current-mode control loop does not rely on capacitor ESR for stability, allowing use of low-ESR X5R/X7R ceramics (e.g., 10μF, 0805) to achieve minimal output ripple and compact layout - verified in typical application circuits.
What is the function of the exposed pad (Pin 17) on the LTC3545EUD#PBF?
The exposed pad (Pin 17) on the LTC3545EUD#PBF is electrically and thermally connected to GND. It must be soldered to a solid PCB ground plane to ensure proper thermal dissipation (θJA = 55°C/W) and electrical noise suppression - omission risks thermal shutdown and degraded PGOOD accuracy.
