Typical Applications
LTC3115-2EFE#TRPBF is suitable for 6 applications: Automotive Power Supplies, Industrial Control Systems, Battery-Powered Equipment, Portable Instrumentation, Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), USB Power Delivery.
Automotive Power Supplies
The LTC3115-2EFE#TRPBF is ideal for automotive power supplies due to its wide 2.7V to 40V input range and fast transient response. It can handle load dumps and cold-crank conditions, maintaining a regulated output for ECUs, sensors, and infotainment systems. Its synchronous architecture delivers up to 95% efficiency, reducing heat in the engine bay. The 1.2MHz switching frequency allows small external components, saving PCB space. With output current up to 2A in boost mode, it can power multiple loads from a 12V battery during cranking dips.
Recommended
Industrial Control Systems
In industrial control systems, the LTC3115-2EFE#TRPBF provides a stable output from fluctuating 24V rails. Its fast transient response ensures minimal voltage deviation during motor start-ups or relay switching. The wide input range accommodates brownout conditions, and the 3Β΅A shutdown current helps meet standby power regulations. The exposed pad package aids thermal management in sealed enclosures. With 800mA buck and 2A boost capability, it can power microcontrollers, sensors, and communication interfaces from a single converter.
Recommended
Battery-Powered Equipment
The LTC3115-2EFE#TRPBF is well-suited for battery-powered equipment, such as portable instruments and wireless sensors. Its wide input range allows operation from a single Li-ion cell (2.7V to 4.2V) down to 2.7V, maximizing battery utilization. The low 3Β΅A shutdown current extends shelf life, and the high efficiency (up to 95%) reduces power loss, prolonging runtime. The 1.2MHz switching frequency enables the use of small inductors, making the design compact. The output can be regulated at 3.3V or 5V, powering microcontrollers, RF modules, and sensors.
Recommended
Portable Instrumentation
For portable instrumentation, the LTC3115-2EFE#TRPBF provides a clean, regulated supply from batteries or USB power. Its fast transient response ensures accurate measurements even when the input voltage dips. The adjustable output allows tailoring to specific ADC or sensor requirements. The small TSSOP package and integrated switches reduce component count, saving board space. With 800mA buck and 2A boost, it can power a variety of analog front-ends, displays, and wireless interfaces. The device's low shutdown current is ideal for battery-operated field instruments.
Recommended
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)
The LTC3115-2EFE#TRPBF is used in PoE powered devices (PDs) to convert the 48V PoE input down to a regulated 5V or 3.3V rail. Its wide input range (2.7V to 40V) covers the PoE voltage range, and its buck-boost topology ensures operation even when the input voltage is close to the output. The fast transient response handles load steps from communication circuits. The high efficiency reduces heat in compact PoE modules. The 1.2MHz switching frequency allows small transformers and capacitors, enabling a compact form factor.
Recommended
USB Power Delivery
In USB Power Delivery (PD) applications, the LTC3115-2EFE#TRPBF can regulate the output voltage from a variable input, such as a battery or solar panel. Its wide input range (2.7V to 40V) supports various power sources, and the buck-boost topology allows the output to be set above or below the input. The fast transient response ensures stable voltage during load changes, critical for USB PD. The high efficiency reduces heat in compact adapters. The device can be used in USB PD sources or sinks, providing a regulated 5V, 9V, 15V, or 20V output.

Key Differentiators
- Optimized for fast input transients (vs LTC3115EFE-1#TRPBF)
- Wide input voltage range up to 40V (vs TPS63070RNMT)
- Low shutdown current of 3Β΅A (vs TPS63070RNMT)
Design Notes
Place input and output capacitors as close to the IC pins as possible to minimize parasitic inductance. Use a 10Β΅F ceramic capacitor on the input and a 10Β΅F ceramic capacitor on the output. Add a 0.1Β΅F ceramic capacitor for high-frequency bypass. The exposed pad should be soldered to a large copper area for thermal dissipation.
The LTC3115-2EFE#TRPBF can dissipate significant power at high output currents. For example, at 12V input, 5V output, and 2A load, power dissipation is approximately 14W. The 20-TSSOP package has a thermal resistance of about 40Β°C/W (theta_JA). Ensure adequate copper area or a heatsink to keep the junction temperature below 125Β°C.
Do not exceed the absolute maximum input voltage of 40V. Ensure the feedback resistor divider uses 1% tolerance resistors to maintain output voltage accuracy. The SS pin controls soft-start time; a 0.1Β΅F capacitor is typical. The SYNC pin can be left floating or tied to ground for internal 1.2MHz operation.
Compliance Information
RoHS compliant per Analog Devices product page. Not AEC-Q100 qualified; for automotive, consider the LTC3115IFE-2#TRPBF which is not explicitly qualified either. REACH compliance is assumed based on ADI's policy.
