Analog Devices Inc LT3462ES6#TRMPBF's Features

I. Core Architecture and Performance

Integrated Schottky Diode: Built-in Schottky rectifier simplifies circuit design and reduces component cost and board space.

Fixed Frequency Operation

LT3462: 1.2MHz switching frequency (ES6 package corresponds to this version).

High-frequency operation enables the use of small, low-cost inductors and capacitors (e.g., ceramic capacitors), suitable for space-constrained applications.

Low Noise Characteristics:Output ripple as low as 1 mV<sub>P-P</sub> (with ceramic capacitors), superior to the low-frequency noise issues of charge pump solutions.

Low Saturation Voltage Switch:Switch collector-emitter saturation voltage (V<sub>CESAT</sub>) is only 270mV@250mA, improving conversion efficiency.

II. Input and Output Characteristics

Input voltage (V<sub>IN</sub>): 2.5V~16V, adaptable to various power supply scenarios.

High Output Voltage Capability: Output voltage (V<sub>OUT</sub>) can reach as low as -38V (with a maximum differential of 38V between V<sub>IN</sub> and V<sub>OUT</sub> in a dual-inductor topology).

Typical Output Configurations: 5V input → -5V output (100mA); 3.3V input → -12V output (30mA).

Reference Voltage and Feedback

Built-in 1.265V low-impedance voltage reference (SDREF pin) powers the feedback resistor network.

Ground-referenced high-impedance FB pin supports high-value feedback resistors without compromising output accuracy.

III. Efficiency and Power Consumption

Typical efficiency curves: ~75% efficiency at 100mA load with 5V input; ~70% efficiency at 30mA load for 3.3V input to -12V output (see typical performance graphs in the document).

Low Quiescent Current

Shutdown mode current: <10µA (when the SDREF pin is pulled low).

Low input bias current during operation, suitable for battery-powered devices.

IV. Packaging and Dimensions

TSOT-23 Package (S6)

6-pin thin package with a thickness of only 1mm and compact dimensions (3.85mm×2.90mm), suitable for surface mounting.

Exposed pad (GND) must be soldered to the PCB ground layer for optimized thermal performance (θ<sub>JA</sub>=192°C/W).

Lead-Free Process

Compliant with environmental requirements, marked as “#PBF”.

V. Protection and Reliability

Current Limiting and Thermal Protection

Switch current limit: 300~420mA (400mA typical), preventing damage from overloading.

Low saturation voltage switch (270mV) improves battery energy utilization and extends runtime.

IV. Special Application Scenarios

1. Charge Pump Alternative
Scenario: Traditional charge pump solutions suffer from large low-frequency noise and ripple, suitable for noise-sensitive circuits (e.g., precision analog signal chains).
Advantages:

Fixed-frequency current mode control eliminates random switching noise in charge pumps, with output ripple as low as 1 mV<sub>P-P</sub>.

Dual-inductor topology filters both input and output currents, suitable for applications requiring high power purity (e.g., laboratory instruments, avionics).

2. Multi-Voltage Rail Systems
Scenario: Mixed-signal systems requiring both positive and negative voltages (e.g., microprocessors + analog front-ends).
Configuration Example:

5V main power input generates +3.3V (via other converters) and -5V (via LT3462) simultaneously, providing symmetrical power for ADCs/DACs.

Space-saving: Integrated Schottky diode reduces external components compared to discrete solutions.

V. Application Design Considerations

Component Selection Recommendations

Inductors: Dual-inductor topology recommends 22µH (e.g., Sumida CLS62-220), saturation current ≥0.25A, DC resistance (DCR) <1Ω.

Capacitors: X7R/X5R ceramic capacitors for input/output (1µF–10µF), flying capacitor (between SW-D pins) ≥1µF, voltage rating higher than input/output voltage differential.

Layout Optimization

Input capacitor (1µF ceramic) must be close to the VIN pin to reduce high-frequency noise.

Ground pins (GND) and exposed pads should connect directly to the PCB ground layer to minimize ground impedance and thermal resistance (θ<sub>JA</sub>=192°C/W).

Inrush Current Control

Ensure it does not exceed 1.5A (e.g., L=22µH, C=1µF yields I<sub>P</sub>=0.7A).

Analog Devices Inc LT3462ES6#TRMPBF's Category-DC to DC Converter

DC/DC switching regulators are integrated circuits (ICs) that play a crucial role in modern electronics. These regulators are designed to efficiently convert one DC voltage level to another, either stepping up (boost), stepping down (buck), or inverting the voltage. One of the key advantages of DC/DC switching regulators is their high efficiency. Unlike linear regulators that dissipate power as heat, switching regulators store energy in inductors or capacitors and transfer it to the output. This results in significantly less power loss, making them ideal for battery - powered devices where energy conservation is essential. They also offer a wide input voltage range, which allows them to operate with various power sources. Additionally, switching regulators can provide multiple output voltages, which is beneficial for complex electronic systems that require different voltage levels for different components. DC/DC switching regulators come in different topologies, such as buck, boost, buck - boost, and flyback. Each topology is suitable for specific applications depending on the input and output voltage requirements, load current, and efficiency needs.
The Analog Devices Inc LT3462ES6#TRMPBF is an example of a high - performance DC/DC switching regulator IC. It is an inverting regulator that can generate negative output voltages. With its integrated Schottky rectifier, fixed - frequency operation, and low - voltage drop switch, it offers high efficiency. It has a wide input voltage range and can supply negative voltages for applications like CCD bias, LCD bias, and GaAs FET bias. Its compact 6 - lead TSOT - 23 package makes it suitable for space - constrained designs, further highlighting the versatility and importance of DC/DC switching regulator ICs in today's electronics.
