Product details
Overview
LT1372HVIS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic 500kHz current-mode switching regulator IC in an 8-pin SOIC package, integrating a 1.5A power switch, oscillator, error amplifier, and protection circuitry. It supports boost, buck, flyback, inverting, and Cuk topologies, regulates both positive and negative outputs, and operates down to 2.7V input voltage - ideal for compact laptop power supplies and dual-output flyback converters.
For engineers reviewing the LT1372HVIS8#PBF datasheet, LT1372HVIS8#PBF pinout, LT1372HVIS8#PBF application, or LT1372HVIS8#PBF equivalent, key selection factors include its 500kHz fixed switching frequency, ±2.49V dual-reference architecture (FB/NFB), 12µA shutdown current, 42V switch breakdown rating (HV variant), and compatibility with small 4.7µH inductors in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The LT1372HVIS8#PBF implements peak-current-mode control with adaptive anti-saturation driver logic, enabling immediate line transient response and simplified loop compensation. Its error amplifier features nonlinear transconductance (700–2300 µmho) that increases tenfold above 40mV FB overvoltage to suppress startup overshoot.
It integrates dual feedback paths: FB pin references +1.245V for positive output regulation, while NFB pin references –2.49V for negative output sensing via a 100kΩ internal source resistor. The VC pin serves simultaneously as error amplifier output, soft-start node, and current-limit adjustment point - all functions validated for the LT1372HV family across industrial temperature range (–40°C to 125°C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 500 kHz typical - enables use of compact 4.7 µH inductors and reduces EMI filter size |

Pinout & Package
LT1372HVIS8#PBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SOIC (S8) package with exposed pad thermal enhancement, rated for θJA = 120°C/W and operating junction temperature up to 125°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VC (Pin 1) | Error amplifier output / compensation node | Accepts RC network for loop stability; clamping controls soft-start and current limit |
| FB (Pin 2) | Positive output voltage sense input | Connects to resistor divider for +VOUT regulation; 250 nA bias current affects high-R dividers |
| NFB (Pin 3) | Negative output voltage sense input | References –2.49 V; –30 µA bias current requires compensation in R-divider design |
| S/S (Pin 4) | Shutdown & synchronization input | Logic-low (<1.3 V) enables 12 µA shutdown; 600–800 kHz square wave synchronizes switching |
| VIN (Pin 5) | Power input supply | Bypass with ≥10 µF capacitor; triggers undervoltage lockout below 2.5 V |
| GND S (Pin 6) | Clean analog ground reference | Reference point for internal bandgap, error amp, and NFB amplifier - isolate from power ground currents |
| GND (Pin 7) | Power switch emitter return | Carries high pulsed switch current - connect directly to low-impedance ground plane |
| VSW (Pin 8) | Power switch collector output | Drives external inductor/diode; trace length must be minimized to reduce EMI and voltage spikes |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-reference regulation | Simultaneous +1.245 V (FB) and –2.49 V (NFB) references enable single-IC dual-polarity output control without external amplifiers |
| Current-mode control | Peak-current sensing provides inherent cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection and eliminates need for slope compensation in most designs |
| Nonlinear error amplifier transconductance | Transconductance jumps 10× above 40 mV FB overvoltage - actively suppresses output overshoot during startup and load recovery |
| Oscillator frequency shifting | Reduces switching frequency 5:1 when FB < 0.6 V - maintains control under overload by extending minimum duty cycle |
| Adaptive anti-saturation driver | Dynamically adjusts base drive to minimize switch saturation voltage and optimize turn-off speed at varying loads |
| Low minimum input voltage | 2.7 V operation supports single-cell Li-ion (2.8–4.2 V) and 3.3 V system rails without pre-regulation |
Applications

Use Value: Achieves –3.3 V at 200 mA with <1% line/load regulation using only one inductor and diode - no transformer or charge pump required. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar switching regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3872-1ES6#TRMPBF | Fixed 500 kHz frequency, but uses external MOSFETs; no integrated 1.5 A switch | Requires external high-side FET and driver - suitable for higher-current (>3 A) or higher-efficiency designs | Select when >1.5 A output current or >95% efficiency at 12 V out is required; not drop-in compatible |
| TPS61088RHLR | 500 kHz synchronous boost with integrated 10 A switch; 2.7–12 V input; no NFB pin or negative output support | Optimized for single-output boost only; lacks dual-reference capability for inverting/flyback topologies | Choose for high-current boost-only applications where footprint and efficiency outweigh multi-topology flexibility |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LT1372HVIS8#PBF?
The LT1372HVIS8#PBF has a maximum switch breakdown voltage of 42 V, confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table for the HV variant. This exceeds the standard LT1372 (35 V) and enables reliable operation with 36 V nominal input rails subject to transient surges - a key differentiator validated across all LT1372HV part numbers including LT1372HVIS8#PBF.
Can LT1372HVIS8#PBF regulate negative output voltages without external op-amps?
Yes. The LT1372HVIS8#PBF includes a dedicated NFB pin referencing –2.49 V, allowing direct negative output regulation using only a resistor divider. This architecture is explicitly documented in the "Negative Output Voltage Setting" section and verified for LT1372HV variants - eliminating need for external amplifiers or level shifters in inverting or dual-output flyback designs.
What is the guaranteed switching frequency tolerance for LT1372HVIS8#PBF over temperature?
The LT1372HVIS8#PBF guarantees a switching frequency of 430 kHz to 580 kHz over the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to 125°C), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "f Switching Frequency" for LT1372 grade. This 500 kHz nominal frequency remains stable enough to enable predictable EMI filtering and inductor selection across operating conditions.
Does LT1372HVIS8#PBF support external synchronization, and what is the valid frequency range?
Yes. The S/S pin of LT1372HVIS8#PBF accepts external TTL/CMOS square waves for synchronization. The guaranteed range is 600 kHz to 800 kHz, as stated in the Electrical Characteristics table. Operation outside this range may cause erratic behavior - especially above 700 kHz where internal slope compensation amplitude decreases, risking subharmonic oscillation at >50% duty cycle.
How does the VC pin function in LT1372HVIS8#PBF beyond compensation?
The VC pin in LT1372HVIS8#PBF serves three validated roles: (1) error amplifier output for loop compensation, (2) soft-start node (capacitor coupling enables controlled ramp-up), and (3) current limit adjustment point (external clamp lowers effective trip threshold). All three functions are explicitly described in the "Pin Functions" section and confirmed for the LT1372HV family, including LT1372HVIS8#PBF.
