LT3460ESC6-1

Overview

The LT3460ESC6-1 is a boost DC/DC converter in an SC-70-6 package. It operates at a fixed 650 kHz switching frequency, enabling the use of small external components. The device accepts input voltages from 2.5 V to 16 V and provides a regulated output up to 36 V with a maximum output current of 180 mA. It features a shutdown function and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrated high-efficiency power switch for compact design
• Fixed 650 kHz switching frequency minimizes passive component size
• Shutdown pin enables low-power standby modes

Applications

• Li-Ion battery powered systems requiring voltage step-up
• General purpose step-up DC/DC conversion
• Portable electronics with single-cell battery inputs

Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including suffixes such as #TRPBF against official Analog Devices documentation to ensure correct packaging and lead-free compliance. Confirm that the SC-70-6 package variant matches your PCB footprint requirements. Cross-reference the specific sub-model designation to validate electrical characteristics before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact boost solution is required for input voltages up to 16 V. The fixed 650 kHz frequency allows for smaller inductors compared to lower-frequency alternatives. Ensure the load current does not exceed the 180 mA limit and that the required output voltage remains within the 36 V maximum rating for reliable operation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the LT3460 series of general-purpose step-up converters. It shares the same core architecture and switching frequency as other variants in the family but is distinguished by its specific output configuration and package type. The ESC6-1 designation indicates the specific thermal and electrical grading for the SC-70-6 package.
