Product details
Overview
LTC3561AIDD#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a constant-frequency, current-mode synchronous step-down DC/DC converter optimized for medium-power portable applications. It operates from 2.5V to 5.5V input, delivers up to 1A output current, supports user-configurable switching frequency up to 4MHz, and regulates output voltage from 0.8V to 5.5V using an external resistor divider. Its integrated 0.15Ω P-channel and 0.13Ω N-channel MOSFETs enable high-efficiency power conversion in space-constrained devices such as digital cameras and cellular handsets.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3561AIDD#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3561AIDD#TRPBF pinout, LTC3561AIDD#TRPBF application, or LTC3561AIDD#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 8-lead 3mm × 3mm DFN package with exposed PGND pad, 0.8V feedback reference, 1µA shutdown current, 330µA quiescent current, and support for ceramic output capacitors without external compensation components.
Technical Context
The LTC3561AIDD#TRPBF implements a current-mode control architecture with external compensation via the ITH pin, enabling transient response optimization across diverse load and output capacitor conditions. Its oscillator frequency is set by an external RT resistor connected to the SHDN/RT pin, supporting programmable operation from ~200kHz to 4MHz.
Dropout operation is achieved via 100% duty cycle with continuous conduction of the internal P-channel MOSFET, while undervoltage lockout disables operation below ~2.1V VIN. The device integrates separate PVIN (power supply) and SVIN (signal supply) rails, requiring SVIN ≥ PVIN, and features dedicated SGND and PGND pins with mandatory low-impedance PCB connection between them and the exposed thermal pad (Pin 9).

Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead 3mm × 3mm plastic DFN with exposed PGND thermal pad (Pin 9), rated for –40°C to +125°C junction temperature.
| 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 (e.g., 125kΩ ≈ 2.5MHz) |
| SGND (Pin 2) | Signal ground reference | Must be tied to PGND via low-inductance path; serves as return for VFB, ITH, and SVIN decoupling |
| SW (Pin 3) | Switch node connection | Drives external inductor; swings from PVIN to PGND; requires tight layout to minimize EMI and ringing |
| PGND (Pin 4) | Main power ground | Return path for high-current inductor and output capacitor; must connect to exposed pad (Pin 9) |
| PVIN (Pin 5) | Main power input | Supplies gate drive and high-side switch; requires local 0.1µF ceramic bypass to PGND |
| SVIN (Pin 6) | Signal power supply | Powers internal analog circuitry (error amp, reference, logic); must be ≥ PVIN and decoupled to SGND |
| VFB (Pin 7) | Feedback input | Compares divided output voltage against 0.8V reference; ±0.1µA input bias enables high-resistor-divider designs |
| ITH (Pin 8) | Error amplifier output and compensation node | Controls peak inductor current; external RC network tunes loop stability and transient response |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

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 (non-adjustable); 3MHz max frequency; 0.12Ω/0.09Ω RDS(ON); 1.2A rating | Requires redesign of feedback network; better suited for fixed-voltage systems with higher current margin | Select if output voltage is fixed and 1.2A headroom is needed; verify thermal performance in same DFN package |

FAQ
What is the maximum supported switching frequency for the LTC3561AIDD#TRPBF?
The LTC3561AIDD#TRPBF supports a user-configurable switching frequency up to 4MHz, set by an external resistor on the SHDN/RT pin. While 4MHz operation is guaranteed by design, production testing is performed at lower frequencies (e.g., 2.5MHz with 125kΩ RT), and duty cycle limitations apply at maximum frequency-particularly at high VIN/VOUT ratios per the fO(MAX) ≈ 6.67 × VOUT/VIN(MAX) constraint.
Does the LTC3561AIDD#TRPBF require external catch diodes?
No, the LTC3561AIDD#TRPBF does not require an external catch diode because it integrates synchronous N-channel MOSFET rectification. An optional Schottky diode may be added in parallel with the SW node for marginal efficiency gains in pulse-skipping mode, but this is discouraged due to increased leakage current at high temperature and potential EMI/ringing issues-especially with ceramic capacitors.
How is output voltage programmed on the LTC3561AIDD#TRPBF?
The LTC3561AIDD#TRPBF output voltage is programmed using an external resistive divider from VOUT to SGND, with the midpoint connected to the VFB pin. The formula is VOUT ≈ 0.8V × (1 + R2/R1), where R1 connects VFB to SGND and R2 connects VOUT to VFB. Feedback current is limited to ±0.1µA, allowing high-value resistors (e.g., 118kΩ/16.9kΩ for 2.5V) to minimize quiescent loss.
What is the purpose of separate PVIN and SVIN pins on the LTC3561AIDD#TRPBF?
The LTC3561AIDD#TRPBF uses separate PVIN (power input) and SVIN (signal power) pins to isolate high-current switching paths from sensitive analog circuitry. PVIN supplies the gate drivers and power switches, while SVIN powers the error amplifier, reference, and logic-reducing noise coupling and improving regulation accuracy. SVIN must be ≥ PVIN and decoupled separately to SGND.
Can the LTC3561AIDD#TRPBF operate with ceramic output capacitors only?
Yes, the LTC3561AIDD#TRPBF is explicitly designed to be stable with ceramic output capacitors, eliminating minimum ESR requirements. Its OPTI-LOOP® architecture and accessible ITH pin allow loop compensation tuning across capacitor types and values. However, layout best practices-including short traces, proper grounding, and local 0.1µF ceramic bypass near VFB-are essential to prevent instability caused by parasitic inductance.
