Product details
Overview
LT1372HVIS8#TRPBF 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 with 4mA quiescent current - ideal for space-constrained laptop supplies and dual-output flyback converters.
For engineers reviewing the LT1372HVIS8#TRPBF datasheet, LT1372HVIS8#TRPBF pinout, LT1372HVIS8#TRPBF application, or LT1372HVIS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 500kHz fixed switching frequency, ±2.49V dual-reference architecture (FB/NFB), 42V switch breakdown rating (HV variant), 12µA shutdown current, and compatibility with small 4.7µH inductors in surface-mount designs.
Technical Context
The LT1372HVIS8#TRPBF 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 overdrive to suppress startup/overload overshoot.
It integrates dual feedback paths: FB pin referenced to +1.245V for positive output regulation and NFB pin referenced to –2.49V for negative output sensing, sharing one error amplifier core. The VC pin serves triple duty - compensation node, soft-start control point, and current-limit adjustment interface - with clamping thresholds at 0.25V (low) and 1.95V (high).
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. |
| Output Switch Current Limit | 1.5 A typical; sets maximum deliverable load current in boost/buck configurations. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 25 V; supports single-cell Li-ion and multi-cell battery inputs without external LDO. |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 4 mA typical; minimizes no-load power loss in always-on portable systems. |
| Shutdown Supply Current | 12 µA typical; allows ultra-low-power sleep modes in battery-backed applications. |
| Switch Breakdown Voltage | 42 V (HV version); supports higher input rails or transient-tolerant industrial supplies. |
| Reference Voltage (FB) | +1.245 V ±1.2%; defines output voltage accuracy via resistor divider ratio. |
| Reference Voltage (NFB) | –2.490 V ±2.0%; enables direct negative output regulation without external op-amps. |
Pinout & Package
LT1372HVIS8#TRPBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SOIC (S8) package with standard 1.27 mm pitch, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant, thermal resistance θJA = 120°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VC (Pin 1) | Compensation / Soft-start / Current limit control | Error amplifier output; RC network here sets loop stability; clamping controls soft-start ramp and current limit. |
| FB (Pin 2) | Positive output voltage sense | Inverting input of main error amp; tied internally to +1.245 V reference; sets VOUT = 1.245 × (1 + R1/R2). |
| NFB (Pin 3) | Negative output voltage sense | Inverting input of negative-feedback amp via 100 kΩ source resistor; regulates at –2.49 V; enables dual-polarity flyback. |
| S/S (Pin 4) | Shutdown & Synchronization | Logic-level input; <0.6 V activates 12 µA shutdown; 600–800 kHz AC signal synchronizes switching clock. |
| VIN (Pin 5) | Power input supply | Bypass with ≥10 µF capacitor; UVLO triggers below 2.5 V to prevent erratic operation. |
| GND S (Pin 6) | Clean analog ground reference | Reference for internal bandgap, error amps, and NFB path; must be isolated from high-current GND traces. |
| GND (Pin 7) | Power switch emitter return | High-current return path for 1.5 A switch; requires low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane. |
| VSW (Pin 8) | Switch collector node | High dv/dt node driving external inductor/diode; trace length must be minimized to reduce EMI and ringing. |
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× when FB exceeds VREF by >40 mV, reducing output overshoot during startup and load recovery. |
| Adaptive anti-saturation driver | Real-time detection of switch saturation adjusts drive current to minimize conduction loss and ensure fast turn-off. |
| External synchronization | Accepts 600–800 kHz logic-level sync signal on S/S pin, enabling noise-sensitive systems to avoid critical EMI bands. |
| Low minimum input voltage | 2.7 V start-up capability supports single Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V) or 3.3 V system rail operation without pre-regulation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar switching regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3872EMS8#TRPBF | Fixed 500 kHz frequency, but requires external MOSFET; no integrated 1.5 A switch. | Used where higher efficiency (>92%) or adjustable frequency is required; not suitable for space-constrained layouts needing monolithic integration. | Select only if thermal budget allows discrete FET and board area permits larger solution size. |
| TPS61088RHLR | Higher 2.5 A switch current, 2.7–12 V input, but only supports positive output regulation (no NFB pin). | Preferred for single-output boost applications demanding >1.2 A load; cannot replace LT1372HVIS8#TRPBF in dual-polarity or inverting designs. | Choose when output polarity is exclusively positive and higher current capability is mandatory. |
Compared with LTC3872EMS8#TRPBF and TPS61088RHLR, the LT1372HVIS8#TRPBF uniquely combines monolithic 1.5 A switching, dual-polarity regulation, and 42 V HV rating in an 8-pin SOIC - making it irreplaceable in compact inverting or dual-output flyback systems where board area and component count are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LT1372HVIS8#TRPBF?
The LT1372HVIS8#TRPBF has a maximum switch breakdown voltage of 42 V, distinguishing it from standard LT1372 variants rated at 35 V. This HV rating allows safe operation with higher input rails or transient-tolerant designs. Absolute maximum supply voltage (VIN) remains 30 V per datasheet specifications, and exceeding this risks permanent damage regardless of switch rating.
Can the LT1372HVIS8#TRPBF regulate both positive and negative outputs simultaneously?
Yes - the LT1372HVIS8#TRPBF supports simultaneous regulation of positive and negative outputs using its dual feedback architecture: the FB pin (referenced to +1.245 V) regulates the positive rail, while the NFB pin (referenced to –2.49 V) regulates the negative rail. In dual-output flyback configurations, both pins are active, and the IC prevents either output from exceeding its setpoint, eliminating need for secondary-side optocouplers or post-regulators.
What inductor value is recommended for a 5 V to 12 V boost converter using the LT1372HVIS8#TRPBF?
The LT1372HVIS8#TRPBF datasheet specifies a 4.7 µH inductor for 5 V-to-12 V boost operation (TA01 schematic). Coilcraft DO1608-472 and Sumida CD43-4R7 are validated alternatives. Inductor selection must account for peak current (≥1.5 A) and saturation margin; lower values increase ripple and stress the 1.5 A internal switch, while higher values reduce efficiency at light loads.
How does the LT1372HVIS8#TRPBF achieve low output overshoot during startup?
The LT1372HVIS8#TRPBF uses nonlinear error amplifier transconductance: when the FB pin voltage exceeds the 1.245 V reference by more than 40 mV, transconductance increases tenfold (from ~1500 µmho to ~15,000 µmho), sharply increasing control loop gain to suppress overshoot. This behavior is intrinsic to the die design and requires no external components - a key differentiator from voltage-mode controllers.
Is the LT1372HVIS8#TRPBF pin-compatible with other LT1372 variants like LT1372CS8 or LT1372IS8?
Yes - all LT1372 variants in the S8 (8-lead SOIC) package, including LT1372HVIS8#TRPBF, LT1372CS8, and LT1372IS8, share identical pinout, footprint, and electrical interface. Differences lie solely in temperature grade (Commercial/Industrial/HV) and switch breakdown rating (35 V vs 42 V), not pin function or layout. No PCB redesign is needed when upgrading to the HV version for improved transient robustness.
