Product details
Overview
LTC3560ES6#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-efficiency, monolithic synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator in a 6-lead ThinSOT package. It delivers up to 800mA output current with 2.25MHz fixed-frequency operation, 0.6V feedback reference, and 2.5V–5.5V input range-optimized for single-cell Li-Ion/Li-Polymer battery-powered portable electronics requiring low quiescent current (16μA operating, <1μA shutdown) and low dropout via 100% duty cycle.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3560ES6#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC3560ES6#TRMPBF pinout, LTC3560ES6#TRMPBF application, or LTC3560ES6#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its constant-frequency current-mode architecture, external synchronization capability (1–3MHz), Burst Mode™ vs pulse-skipping mode control via SYNC/MODE pin, ±2% output voltage accuracy, and thermal performance in TSOT-23 at 250°C/W θJA.
Technical Context
The LTC3560ES6#TRMPBF implements a constant-frequency, current-mode buck topology with integrated P-channel main and N-channel synchronous MOSFETs. Its peak-current control loop uses slope-compensated sensing and an internal 0.6V reference to regulate output voltage via external resistive divider feedback on VFB.
It supports three operational modes selected by SYNC/MODE pin state: Burst Mode™ (pin grounded), pulse-skipping PWM (pin tied to VIN or >1.5V), or external clock synchronization (1–3MHz AC-coupled signal). Shutdown is controlled independently via RUN pin threshold (0.3–1.5V), with soft-start time of 0.9ms typical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - supports full discharge curve of single Li-Ion/Li-Polymer cells without brownout. |
| Output Current | Up to 800mA continuous - sufficient for baseband processors, RF transceivers, and camera modules in handheld devices. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.25MHz (typical), synchronizable 1–3MHz - enables use of ≤2.2μH inductors and compact ceramic capacitors. |
| Quiescent Current | 16μA in operation, <1μA in shutdown - extends battery runtime in always-on or low-duty-cycle systems. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.6V ±2% - allows precise low-voltage outputs (e.g., 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V) with standard resistor tolerances. |
| RDS(ON) (P-FET / N-FET) | 0.23Ω / 0.21Ω (typ) at 100mA - minimizes conduction loss at medium loads; increases with temperature and lower VIN. |
| Operating Temp Range | –40°C to +85°C (E-grade) - qualified for consumer and industrial portable equipment environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-lead ThinSOT™ (TSOT-23), 1mm profile, 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint, exposed pad not present. Thermal resistance θJA = 250°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RUN (Pin 1) | Enable/shutdown control input | Logic-high (>1.5V) enables regulation; logic-low (<0.3V) forces <1μA shutdown - must not float; requires pull-up/down for deterministic state. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power and signal reference ground | Primary return path for VIN, SW, and feedback network - requires low-inductance connection to power plane. |
| SW (Pin 3) | Switch node | Connection point for external inductor - carries high di/dt square-wave current; layout critical for EMI and efficiency. |
| VIN (Pin 4) | Main input supply | Accepts 2.5–5.5V; requires ≥10μF ceramic decoupling close to pin to suppress switching transients. |
| VFB (Pin 5) | Feedback input | Senses divided output voltage; internal 0.6V reference sets regulation point - remote sensing supported via direct trace to COUT+. |
| SYNC/MODE (Pin 6) | Mode select & sync input | GND = Burst Mode™; VIN or >1.5V = pulse-skipping; 1–3MHz AC signal = external sync - no pull required; floating prohibited. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated synchronous FETs | Eliminates need for external Schottky diode - reduces BOM count, PCB area, and forward-drop losses. |
| Burst Mode™ operation | Maintains 16μA IQ and <20mVP-P ripple at light loads - ideal for standby power in battery-critical systems. |
| 100% duty cycle capability | Enables low-dropout operation down to VIN ≈ VOUT + ILOAD×RDS(ON) - extends usable battery life near end-of-discharge. |
| Ceramic capacitor stability | No ESR dependency in control loop - allows use of low-ESR, high-RMS-current X5R/X7R ceramics for minimal size and ripple. |
| Overtemperature protection | Thermal shutdown activates above ~150°C junction - prevents damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62231DRYR | 2.25MHz, 300mA max, 0.6V ref, 2.05–6.5V input - lower current rating, wider VIN, same package. | Not suitable for >300mA loads; better for ultra-low-power MCU cores than RF/baseband subsystems. | Select when load current ≤300mA and input may exceed 5.5V (e.g., USB-powered instruments). |
| MAX17532ATA+ | 2.1MHz, 1A, 0.8V ref, 4.5–28V input - higher voltage range, higher current, different feedback threshold. | Requires level-shifting feedback network; unsuitable for single-cell Li-Ion due to minimum 4.5V VIN. | Choose only for multi-cell or wide-input industrial applications - not drop-in for LTC3560ES6#TRMPBF designs. |
Compared with TPS62231DRYR and MAX17532ATA+, the LTC3560ES6#TRMPBF uniquely balances 800mA capability, single-cell compatibility (2.5–5.5V), and ultra-low IQ in TSOT-23 - making it irreplaceable in space-constrained, battery-optimized portable systems where both peak current and standby efficiency are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LTC3560ES6#TRMPBF?
The LTC3560ES6#TRMPBF is rated for up to 800mA continuous output current under typical conditions (TA = 25°C, VIN = 3.6V, VOUT = 1.8V). Peak inductor current capability reaches 1.5A (typ), but sustained output is limited by thermal dissipation in the TSOT-23 package - derating is required above 70°C ambient or at low input voltages where RDS(ON) rises.
How does the LTC3560ES6#TRMPBF achieve low quiescent current in light-load conditions?
The LTC3560ES6#TRMPBF achieves 16μA typical quiescent current using Burst Mode™ operation: during light loads, the IC enters sleep cycles where both power switches and most internal circuitry are disabled, waking only periodically to recharge the output capacitor. This is distinct from pulse-skipping mode, which maintains higher IQ but reduces output ripple - selectable via the SYNC/MODE pin.
Can the LTC3560ES6#TRMPBF be synchronized to an external clock, and what is the valid frequency range?
Yes, the LTC3560ES6#TRMPBF supports external synchronization via the SYNC/MODE pin. When driven with an AC-coupled square wave, it locks to frequencies between 1MHz and 3MHz - disabling Burst Mode™ and forcing pulse-skipping PWM operation. The internal oscillator remains disabled during sync; no additional components beyond a coupling capacitor are required.
What is the purpose of the RUN pin on the LTC3560ES6#TRMPBF, and what voltage thresholds enable/disable operation?
The RUN pin on the LTC3560ES6#TRMPBF provides hardware-controlled enable/disable functionality. Pulling RUN above 1.5V enables regulation with internal soft-start; pulling it below 0.3V forces shutdown drawing <1μA. Between 0.3V and 1.5V, the state is undefined - therefore, RUN must be actively pulled high (e.g., via resistor to VIN) or low (to GND), never left floating.
Does the LTC3560ES6#TRMPBF require output capacitor ESR for loop stability, and which capacitor types are recommended?
No, the LTC3560ES6#TRMPBF's current-mode control loop is inherently stable with zero-ESR output capacitors. Ceramic capacitors (X5R/X7R dielectric) are strongly recommended for both input and output - they provide low ESR, high RMS current handling, and minimal size. Tantalum or polymer capacitors may be used if ceramic placement is constrained, but ceramics deliver superior ripple suppression and reliability.
