Product details
Overview
LTC3561EDD#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a constant-frequency, synchronous step-down DC/DC converter designed for medium-power portable applications. It operates from 2.63V to 5.5V input, delivers up to 1.4A peak output current, supports adjustable output voltage from 0.8V to 5V, and features internal 0.11Ω P-channel/N-channel MOSFETs - used in wireless LAN power supplies, notebook computers, and cellular phone core logic rails.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3561EDD#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3561EDD#TRPBF pinout, LTC3561EDD#TRPBF application, or LTC3561EDD#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4MHz max switching frequency, 240µA no-load quiescent current, 100% duty-cycle dropout operation, ceramic-capacitor compatibility, and external compensation via ITH pin for transient optimization across load and capacitor variations.
Technical Context
The LTC3561EDD#TRPBF employs a current-mode control architecture with an externally programmable oscillator (via SHDN/RT pin resistor), enabling precise loop tuning and stable operation with ceramic output capacitors. Its dual-MOSFET synchronous rectification eliminates external diode losses and supports discontinuous conduction mode at light loads.
Dropout behavior is implemented by holding the P-channel top switch fully on (100% duty cycle), allowing VOUT to track VIN minus RDS(ON) drop and inductor DCR - critical for battery-powered systems nearing end-of-discharge. The ITH pin serves as both error amplifier output and current limit threshold control point, enabling feedforward compensation and soft-start extension.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.63V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), USB 3.3V, and regulated 5V rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.8V to 5V - set by external resistor divider; 0.8V feedback reference enables low-voltage core supply generation (e.g., 1.2V, 1.8V, 2.5V). |
| Max Switch Current | 1.4A peak - sufficient for powering 1A continuous digital IC cores (e.g., ARM Cortex-A/M series, FPGA I/O banks). |
| RDS(ON) (Top/Bottom) | 0.11Ω each at 3.3V - minimizes conduction loss; enables >95% efficiency at 1A/2.5V out from 3.3V in. |
| Quiescent Current | 240µA - extends battery runtime in standby; drops to <1µA in shutdown. |
| Switching Frequency | Up to 4MHz - allows use of 2.2µH inductors ≤2mm height and compact 22µF ceramic output capacitors. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to 85°C ambient - qualified for industrial and consumer portable equipment environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead (3mm × 3mm) plastic DFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 9), requiring solder connection to PCB ground for thermal performance (θJA = 43°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SHDN/RT (1) | Oscillator timing & shutdown control | Resistor to ground sets fOSC; pulled to SVIN to disable regulator - enables power sequencing and dynamic frequency scaling. |
| SGND (2) | Signal ground reference | Reference node for feedback (VFB), error amp (ITH), and compensation network - must be isolated from high-current PGND paths. |
| SW (3) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; swings between PVIN and PGND - requires tight layout to minimize EMI and ringing. |
| PGND (4) | Power ground return | Return path for input/output capacitors and bottom MOSFET - must be low-inductance copper pour tied to exposed pad. |
| PVIN (5) | Main power input | Supplies top MOSFET and high-side gate driver - requires local 10µF ceramic decoupling to PGND. |
| SVIN (6) | Signal power supply | Bias rail for control circuitry; must be ≥ PVIN and decoupled to SGND - ensures stable reference and error amp operation. |
| VFB (7) | Feedback input | Monitors resistive divider output; 0.8V reference enables precise output regulation - input bias current ±0.1µA minimizes divider loss. |
| ITH (8) | Error amplifier output / current limit control | DC-coupled loop test point; voltage sets peak inductor current - enables OPTI-LOOP compensation and external soft-start ramping. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant-frequency current-mode control | Enables predictable EMI profile and stable loop response across wide load/capacitor ranges via external compensation at ITH pin. |
| 100% duty-cycle dropout operation | Maintains regulation down to VIN ≈ VOUT, extending usable battery life in Li-ion discharge tail without brownout. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current (240µA) | Reduces no-load power loss in always-on subsystems (e.g., RTC, sensor interface) - critical for multi-week standby in IoT devices. |
| Synchronous MOSFETs (0.11Ω) | Eliminates external Schottky diode; improves full-load efficiency by ~8–10% vs. asynchronous buck, especially at low VOUT. |
| Ceramic capacitor stability | Compensated for zero-ESR output caps - avoids need for tantalum or polymer alternatives, reducing BOM cost and height. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the LTC3561EDD#TRPBF, and how is it set?
The LTC3561EDD#TRPBF supports a maximum switching frequency of 4MHz, guaranteed by design but not production-tested. Frequency is set by an external resistor (RT) connected between the SHDN/RT pin and ground. For example, a 324kΩ resistor yields 1MHz typical operation; values down to ~100kΩ enable operation near 4MHz. Duty cycle limitations apply at high frequencies per the equation fO(MAX) ≈ 6.67 × (VOUT/VIN(MAX)) MHz.
Does the LTC3561EDD#TRPBF support 100% duty-cycle operation, and what is its benefit?
Yes, the LTC3561EDD#TRPBF supports true 100% duty-cycle operation in dropout mode, where the P-channel top switch remains continuously on. This allows the output voltage to track the input voltage minus only the RDS(ON) drop and inductor DCR - extending usable battery life in single-cell Li-ion systems as voltage declines below the regulated output level.
What is the role of the ITH pin on the LTC3561EDD#TRPBF, and how is it used in design?
The ITH pin on the LTC3561EDD#TRPBF is the error amplifier output and current limit threshold control point. It enables OPTI-LOOP external compensation for optimizing transient response across load and capacitor variations. It also serves as a DC-coupled test point for closed-loop analysis and can be ramped externally to extend soft-start time beyond the internal 1024-cycle digital ramp.
Can the LTC3561EDD#TRPBF operate with all-ceramic input and output capacitors?
Yes, the LTC3561EDD#TRPBF is explicitly designed for stable operation with ceramic capacitors. Its current-mode architecture and external compensation via the ITH pin allow robust loop stability even with zero-ESR ceramics. However, layout best practices - including SGND/PGND separation, short SW traces, and proper decoupling - remain essential to prevent ringing or instability.
What thermal considerations apply to the LTC3561EDD#TRPBF in high-duty-cycle applications?
In dropout or high-duty-cycle operation (e.g., VIN ≈ VOUT), power dissipation increases due to higher conduction loss in the top MOSFET. The exposed thermal pad (Pin 9) must be soldered to a solid PCB ground plane to achieve θJA = 43°C/W. Junction temperature must stay ≤125°C; exceeding ~150°C triggers thermal shutdown, turning off both switches and floating the SW node.
