Product details
Overview
LTC3561AEDD#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 1A, 4MHz synchronous step-down DC/DC converter optimized for space-constrained battery-powered systems. It operates from 2.5V to 5.5V input, delivers adjustable output from 0.8V to 5.5V, features internal 0.15Ω P-channel and 0.13Ω N-channel MOSFETs, and uses current-mode control with external compensation for transient optimization in portable instrumentation and handheld devices.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3561AEDD#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3561AEDD#TRPBF pinout, LTC3561AEDD#TRPBF application, or LTC3561AEDD#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 8-lead 3mm × 3mm DFN package, 2.5–4MHz programmable switching frequency via RT resistor, 330µA quiescent current, 100% duty-cycle dropout operation, and compatibility with ceramic output capacitors down to 10µF.
Technical Context
The LTC3561AEDD#TRPBF implements a constant-frequency current-mode architecture with dual internal MOSFETs: a 0.15Ω P-channel high-side switch and 0.13Ω N-channel low-side switch. Its error amplifier drives the ITH pin to regulate peak inductor current, enabling fast load transient response across wide output capacitance ranges.
Operation includes programmable oscillator frequency (2.25–4MHz) set by an external RT resistor, shutdown activation by pulling SHDN/RT to SVIN, and dropout mode where the P-channel MOSFET remains fully on at 100% duty cycle. The device integrates undervoltage lockout (2.1V threshold) and thermal protection, with guaranteed performance over –40°C to 125°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, Li-polymer, and multi-cell alkaline/NiMH battery inputs without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.8V to 5.5V - adjustable via external resistive divider; 0.8V feedback reference enables low-voltage core rail generation. |
| Max Output Current | 1A continuous - limited by internal MOSFET RDS(ON) and thermal design; peak switch current limit is 1.3–2.5A. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.25–4MHz - programmable via RT resistor; enables use of sub-2mm-height inductors and compact ceramic capacitors. |
| Quiescent Current | 330µA - ensures minimal battery drain during active light-load operation in always-on subsystems. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - extends shelf life and standby time in battery-backed applications such as digital cameras and medical sensors. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.8V ±2% - precise internal bandgap reference enables accurate output regulation independent of temperature and line variation. |
| Package | 8-Lead 3mm × 3mm DFN with exposed PGND pad - provides low thermal resistance (θJA = 43°C/W) and robust PCB heat dissipation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic DFN (3mm × 3mm), exposed thermal pad (Pin 9) connected to PGND. Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SHDN/RT (Pin 1) | Combined shutdown control and oscillator timing input | Pulling to SVIN disables all circuitry; resistor to GND sets switching frequency (2.25–4MHz); no external pull-up required. |
| SGND (Pin 2) | Signal ground reference | Reference node for VFB, ITH, and internal analog circuitry; must be tied to PGND via low-impedance copper plane. |
| SW (Pin 3) | Switch node connection | Drives external inductor; swings between PVIN and PGND; requires tight layout to minimize EMI and ringing. |
| PGND (Pin 4) | Main power ground return | Return path for high-current inductor discharge and output capacitor; shares thermal pad (Pin 9) for low-inductance grounding. |
| PVIN (Pin 5) | Main power supply input | High-current input for top MOSFET; must be decoupled locally with low-ESR ceramic capacitor near the pin. |
| SVIN (Pin 6) | Signal power supply | Bias source for internal analog circuitry; must be ≥ PVIN and decoupled to SGND; powers error amplifier and logic. |
| VFB (Pin 7) | Output voltage feedback input | Compares divided output against 0.8V reference; ±0.1µA input bias enables high-resistor-divider efficiency. |
| ITH (Pin 8) | Error amplifier output / current limit control | Direct access to control loop; used for external compensation and closed-loop stability analysis; nominal 0.4–1.4V range. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| Current-Mode Control with External Compensation | ITH pin access allows full loop tuning for optimal transient response across diverse output capacitor types (ceramic, polymer, tantalum). |
| 100% Duty-Cycle Dropout Operation | P-channel MOSFET remains fully on when VIN ≈ VOUT, maintaining regulation down to input voltages within ~100mV of output. |
| Stable with Ceramic Output Capacitors | Supports ≥10µF X5R/X7R ceramics without external ESR; eliminates need for bulkier, higher-ESR alternatives. |
| Programmable High-Frequency Switching | 2.25–4MHz range reduces inductor size to ≤2.2µH and height to ≤1mm, enabling ultra-thin portable designs. |
| Low Quiescent & Shutdown Current | 330µA active IQ and <1µA shutdown current maximize battery runtime in intermittent-use applications like remote sensors. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62130ARGTR | Fixed 3.3V output; 3.6V–17V input; 3A rating; 2.5MHz switching; no RT pin; lower max input voltage headroom. | Best suited for fixed-output industrial modules where input exceeds 3.6V and higher current is needed. | Select TPS62130ARGTR only if fixed 3.3V output and >1.5A load are required; not suitable for adjustable outputs or sub-3.6V inputs. |
| MAX17503GCU+T | 4.5V–60V input; 2A output; 100kHz–2.2MHz programmable frequency; external MOSFETs; higher minimum input voltage. | Targeted at industrial/high-voltage applications (e.g., 12V/24V bus conversion), not low-voltage battery systems. | Choose MAX17503GCU+T for wide-input industrial supplies; LTC3561AEDD#TRPBF remains optimal for 2.5–5.5V battery-powered designs. |
Compared with TPS62130ARGTR and MAX17503GCU+T, the LTC3561AEDD#TRPBF uniquely supports 2.5V minimum input, 0.8V adjustable output, and 4MHz operation in a 3mm × 3mm DFN-making it irreplaceable for ultra-low-voltage, space-constrained portable applications requiring design flexibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported switching frequency for the LTC3561AEDD#TRPBF?
The LTC3561AEDD#TRPBF supports up to 4MHz switching frequency, programmable via an external resistor on the SHDN/RT pin. While 4MHz operation is guaranteed by design, production testing is performed at 2.5MHz; actual usable frequency depends on input-output voltage ratio and minimum on-time constraints per the fO(MAX) ≈ 6.67 × VOUT/VIN(MAX) formula.
Can the LTC3561AEDD#TRPBF operate with only ceramic capacitors on input and output?
Yes, the LTC3561AEDD#TRPBF is explicitly characterized and stable with ceramic output capacitors ≥10µF (X5R/X7R dielectrics). For input, a 10µF ceramic plus 0.1–1µF high-frequency bypass is recommended. However, designers must verify loop stability across temperature and voltage due to ceramic capacitance variation and low ESR effects on phase margin.
What is the function of the ITH pin on the LTC3561AEDD#TRPBF?
The ITH pin on the LTC3561AEDD#TRPBF is the error amplifier output and current comparator threshold control node. It provides direct access to the inner control loop for external compensation network implementation (e.g., R-C filter), enables closed-loop transient response analysis, and allows optimization of bandwidth and phase margin for specific output capacitor types and load conditions.
Does the LTC3561AEDD#TRPBF support 100% duty-cycle operation?
Yes, the LTC3561AEDD#TRPBF supports true 100% duty-cycle operation in dropout mode. When input voltage drops near the regulated output voltage, the internal P-channel MOSFET remains continuously on, allowing VOUT to track VIN minus conduction losses (typically <100mV drop at 1A), ensuring uninterrupted power delivery during deep battery discharge.
What is the thermal pad (Pin 9) connection requirement for the LTC3561AEDD#TRPBF?
The exposed thermal pad (Pin 9) of the LTC3561AEDD#TRPBF is electrically connected to PGND and must be soldered to a dedicated PCB ground plane using ≥4 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter) to ensure adequate heat dissipation. Failure to connect this pad results in degraded thermal performance (θJA increases significantly) and potential thermal shutdown under sustained 1A load.
