Product details
Overview
LTC3564EDCB#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-efficiency, constant-frequency, current-mode synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator optimized for single Li-Ion or 3.3V–5.5V input systems. It delivers up to 1.25A output current with 96% peak efficiency, 20μA quiescent current in active mode, and ≤1μA shutdown current - enabling extended battery life in portable electronics. Its 2.25MHz switching frequency supports compact 1.1μH inductors and ceramic capacitors.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3564EDCB#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3564EDCB#TRPBF pinout, LTC3564EDCB#TRPBF application, or LTC3564EDCB#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 0.6V feedback reference for low-output-voltage designs (e.g., 1.2V–1.8V core rails), 100% duty-cycle dropout operation, integrated P/N-channel MOSFETs eliminating external Schottky diodes, and thermal performance in the 6-lead DFN (2mm × 3mm, 1mm height) package.
Technical Context
The LTC3564EDCB#TRPBF employs a constant-frequency current-mode control architecture with internal slope compensation to prevent subharmonic oscillation at high duty cycles (>40%). Its patented scheme maintains full 1.25A peak inductor current capability across all duty cycles without reduction due to compensation ramping.
Burst Mode® operation enables automatic transition to low-quiescent-current sleep state (~20μA) under light loads, while maintaining tight output regulation via feedback error amplifier monitoring of the 0.6V reference. Overtemperature protection disables both power switches when junction temperature exceeds ~150°C, and short-circuit protection extends bottom-FET conduction to safely decay inductor current during output faults.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-Ion (2.7V–4.2V) and fixed 3.3V/5V rails without external LDO pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 1.25A continuous - sufficient for processor cores, RF transceivers, or FPGA I/O banks in space-constrained portable designs. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.25MHz (typ.) - enables use of sub-2mm-height, 1μH–1.1μH inductors and small 22μF ceramic output capacitors. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.6V ±2% - allows precise setting of output voltages as low as 0.6V using standard resistor dividers (e.g., 1.8V with 316k/100k). |
| Quiescent Current | 20μA (active), ≤1μA (shutdown) - minimizes no-load battery drain in always-on subsystems like RTC or sensor hubs. |
| Efficiency Peak | 96% - achieved at mid-load (e.g., 500mA @ 1.8V out, 3.6V in), reducing thermal load and PCB area vs. lower-efficiency alternatives. |
| Duty Cycle Limit | 100% - sustains regulation down to VIN ≈ VOUT + ILOAD×RDS(ON), critical for battery end-of-discharge operation. |
| Package Thermal Resistance | θJA = 64°C/W (DFN) - enables higher power delivery than TSOT-23 (θJA = 215°C/W) in thermally constrained layouts. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-Lead (2mm × 3mm) Plastic DFN with exposed pad (Pin 7 = SGND), 1mm profile, RoHS-compliant, lead-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1: SW | Switch Node | Connection to drains of internal P- and N-channel MOSFETs; carries high di/dt square-wave current - requires short, wide trace and adjacent ground pour. |
| Pin 2: PGND | Main Power Ground | Return path for high-current inductor and output capacitor; must be tied directly to COUT(–) and CIN(–) to minimize voltage spikes. |
| Pin 3: VIN | Main Input Supply | Connects to input capacitor (≥10μF ceramic); decoupling must be placed within 2mm to suppress high-frequency noise and gate charge transients. |
| Pin 4: VFB | Feedback Input | Senses resistive divider output; high-impedance node (±30nA bias) - route away from SW and RUN to avoid coupling-induced regulation error. |
| Pin 5: RUN | Enable Control | Logic-level input: >1.5V enables regulation, <0.3V forces shutdown (≤1μA IQ); must not float - tie to VIN or microcontroller GPIO with pull-up if unused. |
| Pin 6: SGND | Signal Ground | Reference for VFB, RUN, and internal error amplifier; connect all feedback resistors, compensation components, and bypass caps to this pin only - isolate from PGND except at single-point star ground. |
| Pin 7 (Exposed Pad): SGND | Thermal & Signal Ground | Must be soldered to ≥200mm² PCB copper area for thermal dissipation and low-noise signal return; electrically connected to Pin 6. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Synchronous Power Stage | P-channel main switch (RDS(ON) = 0.15Ω typ.) + N-channel synchronous rectifier (RDS(ON) = 0.15Ω typ.) eliminate external Schottky diode, reducing BOM count and forward-drop losses. |
| Burst Mode® Operation | Automatically engages below ~300mA load to reduce IQ to 20μA while maintaining ±1% output regulation - extends runtime in standby/sleep states without manual enable control. |
| 100% Duty-Cycle Dropout | Enables regulation down to VIN = VOUT + ILOAD×RDS(ON); critical for Li-Ion applications where battery voltage drops to 2.7V while powering 1.8V logic rails. |
| Stable Ceramic Output Capacitor Support | No ESR dependency in control loop - allows use of low-ESR, high-RMS-current X5R/X7R ceramics (e.g., 22μF) for minimal output ripple (<10mVpp) and footprint savings. |
| Robust Protection Suite | Includes overtemperature shutdown (TJ ≈ 150°C), short-circuit current limiting via extended bottom-FET conduction, and absolute maximum ratings covering –0.3V to 6V on all pins. |
| Low-Noise Layout Optimization | Dual-ground architecture (PGND/SGND) with dedicated SGND pin and exposed-pad grounding separates high-current and sensitive analog paths - reduces switching noise coupling into feedback loop. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LTC3564EDCB#TRPBF?
The LTC3564EDCB#TRPBF delivers up to 1.25A continuous output current under typical conditions (TA = 25°C, 2.25MHz switching, 3.6V input, 1.8V output). Derating applies at elevated ambient temperatures or high duty cycles; for example, at 70°C ambient and 2.7V input (100% duty cycle), thermal limits reduce practical output to ~1.0A in the DFN package due to RDS(ON) increase and θJA = 64°C/W.
Does the LTC3564EDCB#TRPBF require an external Schottky diode?
No, the LTC3564EDCB#TRPBF does not require an external Schottky diode. It integrates both a P-channel main switch and an N-channel synchronous rectifier, eliminating body-diode conduction losses and enabling efficiencies up to 96%. This integration reduces component count, board area, and thermal stress compared to asynchronous buck converters.
What is the function of the exposed pad (Pin 7) on the LTC3564EDCB#TRPBF DFN package?
The exposed pad (Pin 7) on the LTC3564EDCB#TRPBF is electrically connected to SGND and serves dual purposes: thermal dissipation (reducing θJA to 64°C/W) and low-impedance signal grounding. It must be soldered to a ≥200mm² PCB copper area tied exclusively to the SGND net - not PGND - to maintain noise isolation for the feedback amplifier and RUN comparator.
How does Burst Mode® operation improve efficiency in the LTC3564EDCB#TRPBF?
Burst Mode® operation in the LTC3564EDCB#TRPBF reduces quiescent current to 20μA at light loads (<300mA) by disabling the power MOSFETs and non-essential circuitry between energy bursts. Each burst delivers just enough charge to maintain output regulation, minimizing switching and gate-drive losses. This extends battery runtime in standby modes without compromising transient response when load steps occur.
Can the LTC3564EDCB#TRPBF operate with a 2.5V input supply?
Yes, the LTC3564EDCB#TRPBF supports a minimum input voltage of 2.5V, enabling operation down to the end-of-discharge voltage of Li-Ion cells (~2.7V) and compatibility with low-voltage systems. At 2.5V input and 1.8V output, it achieves 100% duty cycle to sustain regulation, though power dissipation increases due to higher RDS(ON) - thermal design must verify junction temperature remains ≤125°C.
