Product details
Overview
LTC3565EDD#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 1.25A, 4MHz synchronous step-down DC/DC converter in a 10-lead 3mm × 3mm DFN package. It operates from 2.5V to 5.5V input, delivers adjustable output from 0.6V to 5.5V, and features current-mode control, Burst Mode operation (IQ = 40µA), and 100% duty-cycle dropout for battery-powered portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3565EDD#PBF datasheet, LTC3565EDD#PBF pinout, LTC3565EDD#PBF application, or LTC3565EDD#PBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed alternative parts with documented differences, and supply-chain support for production deployment.
Technical Context
The LTC3565EDD#PBF uses a constant-frequency current-mode architecture with external RT-resistor programmability (up to 4MHz) and SYNC/MODE pin-selectable operating modes: Burst Mode (40µA IQ), pulse-skipping, or forced continuous conduction. Its dual MOSFET power stage includes P-channel high-side and N-channel low-side switches with RDS(ON) of 0.15Ω / 0.13Ω (DD package).
It implements full-cycle soft-start (0.9ms), ±7% PGOOD monitoring with 40µs blanking, and supports pre-biased outputs. The error amplifier (transconductance 300µS) drives the ITH node to regulate peak inductor current, enabling stable ceramic-capacitor-based designs across wide load and input ranges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), USB 5V, and regulated 3.3V rails without external LDO pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.6V to 5.5V - enables direct core voltage regulation for modern SoCs (e.g., 0.8V–1.2V) and I/O rail generation (1.8V, 3.3V, 5V). |
| Max Output Current | 1.25A - sufficient for powering ARM Cortex-A/M cores, FPGAs, or multi-sensor modules in handheld instruments. |
| Switching Frequency | Up to 4MHz - allows use of sub-2mm-height inductors (e.g., 1.0–2.2µH) and compact 10–22µF ceramic output capacitors. |
| Quiescent Current | 40µA in Burst Mode - extends battery runtime in standby states for cellular phones and digital cameras. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.6V ±2% - enables precise output regulation with standard resistor dividers; low reference minimizes divider current loss. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - ensures negligible drain on backup batteries or energy-harvesting storage elements. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-lead (3mm × 3mm) plastic DFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 11 = GND). Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity (θJA = 43°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RT (Pin 1) | Oscillator timing resistor connection | Programs switching frequency via external resistor (e.g., 125kΩ → 1.5MHz); sets internal ramp current for oscillator. |
| RUN (Pin 2) | Enable/disable control input | Logic-high (>1.5V) enables converter; logic-low (<0.3V) forces shutdown with <1µA IQ; must not be left floating. |
| SYNC/MODE (Pin 3) | Mode selection & external clock sync | Configures operation mode: GND = pulse skip, SVIN = Burst Mode, SVIN/2 = forced continuous; accepts external 0.4–4MHz clock. |
| SW (Pin 4) | Power switch node | Connects to inductor; swings between PVIN and GND; requires low-inductance layout to minimize EMI and voltage spikes. |
| GND (Pins 5 & 11) | Main power and thermal ground | Pins 5 and 11 (exposed pad) must connect to common PCB ground plane; exposed pad is mandatory for thermal performance. |
| PVIN (Pin 6) | Main power input | High-current path for input supply; requires local 0.1–1µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| SVIN (Pin 7) | Signal power supply | Powers internal analog/digital circuitry; must be ≥ PVIN and decoupled separately; noise on SVIN directly impacts regulation accuracy. |
| PGOOD (Pin 8) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Asserts low when VOUT deviates >±7% from target; includes 40µs blanking to reject startup transients and load-step glitches. |
| VFB (Pin 9) | Feedback input | Compares resistive-divider output against 0.6V reference; input bias current ≤50nA minimizes divider error and power loss. |
| ITH (Pin 10) | Error amplifier compensation node | Controls peak inductor current limit; voltage range 0.4–1.4V; external RC network here optimizes transient response and stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Burst Mode operation | Reduces no-load IQ to 40µA by intermittently activating switching cycles-critical for >100-hour battery life in always-on sensors. |
| 100% duty-cycle dropout | Enables seamless transition to linear regulation as input drops near output voltage-preserves system uptime during battery sag. |
| Stable with ceramic capacitors | Eliminates need for high-ESR electrolytics; supports compact, low-profile, high-reliability output filtering using X5R/X7R MLCCs. |
| Synchronizable oscillator | Allows alignment of switching frequency to system clock or other converters-reducing beat frequencies and simplifying EMI filtering. |
| Pre-biased output support | Permits safe startup into pre-charged output rails-essential for hot-swap applications and multi-rail power sequencing. |

FAQ
What is the absolute maximum input voltage rating for the LTC3565EDD#PBF?
The LTC3565EDD#PBF has an absolute maximum PVIN and SVIN rating of –0.3V to 6V. Exceeding 6V may cause permanent damage. The recommended operating range remains 2.5V to 5.5V per specifications, with undervoltage lockout engaging below ~1.9V to prevent unstable operation. Always observe these limits during hot-swap or load-dump events.
Does the LTC3565EDD#PBF support synchronization to an external clock source?
Yes, the LTC3565EDD#PBF supports external clock synchronization via the SYNC/MODE pin (Pin 3), accepting input frequencies from 0.4MHz to 4MHz. When synchronized, the device operates in pulse-skip mode. This capability allows noise reduction through frequency alignment with system clocks or other converters-critical in RF-sensitive applications like cellular modems.
Can the LTC3565EDD#PBF safely start up into a pre-biased output voltage?
Yes, the LTC3565EDD#PBF explicitly supports pre-biased output startup. Its control architecture prevents reverse current flow during start-up, allowing safe operation when VOUT is already charged (e.g., from another rail or hold-up capacitor). This feature is confirmed in the datasheet's "Start-Up from Shutdown with a Prebiased Output" waveform (Figure G22) and enables robust power sequencing in multi-rail systems.
What is the purpose of separate PVIN and SVIN pins on the LTC3565EDD#PBF?
The LTC3565EDD#PBF uses separate PVIN (Pin 6) and SVIN (Pin 7) supplies to isolate high-current power switching noise from sensitive analog circuitry. PVIN feeds the power switches; SVIN powers the error amplifier, reference, and logic. Keeping them independently decoupled reduces regulation error and improves PSRR-especially critical when powering noise-sensitive analog loads like ADCs or RF synthesizers.
How does the PGOOD pin on the LTC3565EDD#PBF behave during startup and fault conditions?
The PGOOD pin on the LTC3565EDD#PBF is an open-drain output that pulls low when VOUT deviates more than ±7% from its regulated value. It includes 40µs blanking after startup to ignore initial transients and 105µs unblinking delay before releasing, preventing false trips during load steps. This behavior is fully characterized in the Electrical Characteristics table and Typical Performance Graph G04.
