Product details
Overview
LTC3563EDC#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic synchronous step-down DC/DC converter optimized for single Li-Ion battery-powered portable systems. It delivers up to 500mA output current, supports pin-selectable 1.28V or 1.87V regulated outputs, operates from 2.5V–5.5V input, achieves up to 96% efficiency, and features 2.25MHz constant-frequency current-mode control with Burst Mode® operation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3563EDC#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3563EDC#TRPBF pinout, LTC3563EDC#TRPBF application, or LTC3563EDC#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include low-quiescent-current operation (26µA active, <1µA shutdown), 100% duty-cycle low-dropout capability, internal MOSFETs eliminating external Schottky diodes, and compatibility with ceramic output capacitors for minimal ripple and footprint.
Technical Context
The LTC3563EDC#TRPBF implements a constant-frequency, peak-current-mode control architecture with an internal 0.6V reference and integrated P-channel/N-channel synchronous power switches. Its feedback loop compares a resistor-divided VOUT against this reference to regulate output voltage via inductor peak current adjustment.
Burst Mode® operation enables discontinuous switching at light loads, reducing quiescent current to 26µA while maintaining regulation; the device transitions automatically between continuous and burst modes based on load demand. Undervoltage lockout (UVLO) activates below ~1.9V VIN, and internal soft-start ramps the reference over ~1ms to limit inrush current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 500mA maximum continuous - sufficient for baseband processors, RF transceivers, and digital camera modules in handheld devices. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - fully covers single-cell Li-Ion battery discharge profile (4.2V → 2.7V) without external LDO pre-regulation. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.25MHz (typical) - enables use of compact 2.2µH inductors and 10µF ceramic capacitors, minimizing PCB area. |
| Quiescent Current | 26µA in active Burst Mode®, <1µA in shutdown - extends battery runtime during standby and sleep states. |
| Output Voltage Options | 1.28V or 1.87V selected by VSEL pin logic level - matches common core voltages for ARM-based microcontrollers and DSPs. |
| Efficiency | Up to 96% at mid-load - minimizes thermal stress and power loss in space-constrained portable enclosures. |
| Output Accuracy | ±2% over temperature and line/load - ensures reliable operation of voltage-sensitive digital logic and analog peripherals. |
Pinout & Package
The LTC3563EDC#TRPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 6-lead 2mm × 2mm plastic DFN package with exposed pad (Pin 7 = PGND). The exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground for electrical integrity and optimal thermal performance (θJA = 40°C/W when properly mounted).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VOUT (Pin 1) | Feedback node | Connects to internal resistive divider; senses regulated output voltage for error amplifier comparison against 0.6V reference. |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Main power input | Supplies internal circuitry and power switches; requires local 10µF ceramic decoupling to GND for stable high-frequency operation. |
| GND (Pin 3) | Analog/digital ground | Reference return for internal circuits; must be tied to low-impedance system ground plane adjacent to exposed pad. |
| SW (Pin 4) | Switch node | Drain connection of internal P- and N-channel MOSFETs; connects directly to inductor; carries high di/dt square-wave current. |
| VSEL (Pin 5) | Output voltage select | Logic-controlled input: grounded → 1.28V output; floating or tied to VIN → 1.87V output; internal 1.3–3MΩ pull-up ensures default state. |
| RUN (Pin 6) | Enable/shutdown control | Active-high enable: >1.2V enables regulation; <0.3V forces shutdown (<1µA IQ); must not be left floating. |
| Exposed Pad (Pin 7) | Power ground (PGND) | Thermal and electrical ground path; mandatory solder connection to PCB ground plane for thermal dissipation and noise reduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pin-selectable dual-output voltage | 1.28V or 1.87V configured solely by VSEL pin state - eliminates external resistor networks and simplifies BOM across multiple voltage rail designs. |
| Integrated synchronous MOSFETs | P-channel high-side + N-channel low-side switches with RDS(ON) ≤ 0.65Ω / 0.55Ω - removes need for external Schottky diode and associated layout complexity. |
| 2.25MHz fixed-frequency operation | Enables full ceramic capacitor design with 2.2µH inductor - reduces solution size by >40% vs lower-frequency alternatives requiring larger magnetics. |
| Burst Mode® low-IQ regulation | 26µA quiescent current with <20mVP-P output ripple - maintains tight regulation during deep-sleep states without sacrificing noise performance. |
| 100% duty-cycle low-dropout mode | Supports VIN as low as VOUT + ~100mV - extends usable battery life in end-of-discharge conditions for portable equipment. |
| Internal soft-start | ~1ms linear reference ramp - prevents output overshoot and limits inrush current into bulk output capacitance during power-up. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62231DRVR | Fixed 1.8V output; 2.25MHz switching; 400mA max output; 17µA IQ in PWM mode, 2.5µA in eco-mode. | Lacks pin-selectable voltage option; lower max current; no Burst Mode® - less suitable for dual-voltage or high-peak-load portable systems. | Choose TPS62231DRVR only if fixed 1.8V output and lower cost are prioritized over flexibility and light-load efficiency. |
| MAX17222ELT+T | 1.8V fixed output; 2.5MHz; 500mA; 1.6µA IQ in shutdown, 25µA in ultralow-noise mode; no VSEL pin. | No output voltage selection; lacks 100% duty-cycle dropout; optimized for ultra-low-noise rather than multi-rail adaptability. | Select MAX17222ELT+T where EMI-sensitive analog subsystems require lowest possible switching noise, accepting fixed-voltage constraint. |

FAQ
What is the recommended input and output capacitor configuration for the LTC3563EDC#TRPBF?
The LTC3563EDC#TRPBF is optimized for ceramic capacitors: 10µF X5R/X7R ceramic for both CIN and COUT is recommended per the datasheet. This configuration ensures low ESR, minimal output ripple (<20mVP-P), stable loop response without ESR dependency, and compact PCB footprint. An additional 0.1µF–1µF high-frequency ceramic cap on VIN improves decoupling.
Does the LTC3563EDC#TRPBF require an external Schottky diode?
No, the LTC3563EDC#TRPBF does not require an external Schottky diode. It integrates both P-channel high-side and N-channel low-side synchronous MOSFETs, eliminating conduction losses and thermal concerns associated with external diodes. This integration reduces component count, improves efficiency, and simplifies layout.
How does the VSEL pin determine output voltage on the LTC3563EDC#TRPBF?
On the LTC3563EDC#TRPBF, the VSEL pin sets output voltage: tying VSEL to GND selects 1.28V; leaving VSEL floating or connecting it to VIN selects 1.87V. An internal 1.3–3MΩ pull-up resistor ensures default 1.87V operation if VSEL is unconnected, enabling simple hardware-configurable dual-rail support without external components.
What is the thermal performance of the LTC3563EDC#TRPBF in a typical 2-layer PCB layout?
In a standard 2-layer PCB with the exposed pad soldered to a 1cm² ground pour, the LTC3563EDC#TRPBF exhibits θJA ≈ 102°C/W. With proper 4-layer board mounting (exposed pad soldered to internal ground plane), θJA drops to 40°C/W. At 500mA load, 3.6V input, and 70°C ambient, junction temperature remains at ~76°C - well below the 125°C maximum.
Can the LTC3563EDC#TRPBF operate with input voltage below 2.5V?
No, the LTC3563EDC#TRPBF has a specified minimum operating input voltage of 2.5V. Below this, undervoltage lockout (UVLO) disables operation - the device shuts down when VIN falls below ~1.9V (rising threshold) to prevent unstable regulation. It cannot regulate at 2.2V or lower, even in 100% duty-cycle mode.
