Product details
Overview
LT1374CR-5#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a fixed 5V, 4.5A monolithic synchronous step-down switching regulator in a 16-pin TSSOP package with exposed pad. It operates at a constant 500kHz switching frequency, features cycle-by-cycle current limiting, 0.07Ω switch on-resistance, and 20µA shutdown current. Designed for high-efficiency DC/DC conversion in space-constrained battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT1374CR-5#TRPBF datasheet, LT1374CR-5#TRPBF pinout, LT1374CR-5#TRPBF application, or LT1374CR-5#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its fixed 5V output, 6V–25V input range, thermal shutdown protection, exposed-pad thermal performance, and compatibility with standard surface-mount inductors down to 1.8µH.
Technical Context
The LT1374CR-5#TRPBF implements current-mode control with an internal 2.42V reference and integrated 4.5A NPN power switch. Its BOOST pin enables saturation drive, reducing conduction loss and enabling >89% efficiency at full load. The SENSE pin (replacing FB in -5 variants) monitors regulated 5V output directly for tight line/load regulation.
It integrates oscillator, error amplifier, slope compensation, and dual shutdown comparators (2.38V UVLO and 0.4V deep shutdown). Synchronization capability (via SYNC pin) allows external clocking up to 1MHz, while BIAS pin support improves efficiency at high VIN/low IOUT by sourcing bias current from VOUT.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±1.2% (4.94–5.06V), referenced to internal SENSE threshold |
| Max Output Current | 4.5A at ≤50% duty cycle; derates to ~4.3A at 62.5% (VIN=8V, VOUT=5V) |
| Input Voltage Range | 6V to 25V - minimum start-up voltage is 5.5V; supports wide industrial/battery inputs |
| Switching Frequency | 500kHz ±8% - enables compact 1.8–10µH inductors and low-ESR ceramic output caps |
| Switch On-Resistance | 0.07Ω typical - reduces conduction loss; enables high efficiency even at 4.5A load |
| Shutdown Current | 20µA max - ensures ultra-low quiescent drain during system sleep modes |
| Thermal Protection | Internal thermal shutdown - prevents damage during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking |
Pinout & Package
LT1374CR-5#TRPBF is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP package (FE16) with exposed thermal pad. Pin 1 is GND; Pins 3 & 4 are VIN (must be shorted externally); Pins 10 & 11 are VSW (must be shorted externally); Pin 6 is SENSE (5V feedback); Pin 13 is SHDN (0.4V shutdown threshold); Pin 14 is VC (error amp output); Pin 15 is BIAS (for efficiency optimization).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 1, 8, 9, 16) | Power and signal reference ground | Multi-pin connection lowers impedance; exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for θJA = 40°C/W |
| VIN (Pins 3, 4) | Input supply and switch collector | Must be shorted on PCB; high dI/dt node - requires local 100µF solid tantalum + 0.27µF ceramic bypass |
| SENSE (Pin 6) | 5V output voltage sensing input | Replaces FB in -5 variant; connects directly to 5V output; enables ±1.2% regulation without external divider |
| VSW (Pins 10, 11) | Switch emitter node | Must be shorted on PCB; drives external catch diode (e.g., MBRS330T3); clamped to –0.8V max |
| SHDN (Pin 13) | Logic-level shutdown control | 0.4V threshold for full shutdown; 2.38V for UVLO lockout; pulls supply current to 20µA when low |
| VC (Pin 14) | Error amplifier output / current limit setpoint | Used for loop compensation (capacitor to GND); also accepts external clamp for override or current limiting |
| BIAS (Pin 15) | Efficiency-boosting bias supply input | When tied to 5V output, shifts internal bias current from VIN to VOUT - improves efficiency by >10% at VIN=20V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 5V output with SENSE pin | Eliminates external resistor divider - simplifies layout, improves accuracy, and removes FB pin bias current error |
| BOOST-driven saturated NPN switch | 0.07Ω RON enables >89% peak efficiency - outperforms conventional bipolar designs by ~14% |
| Current-mode control with slope compensation | Ensures stable operation across full duty cycle range (up to 93%) - prevents subharmonic oscillation |
| Integrated cycle-by-cycle current limiting | Protects against short-circuit faults without external sensing - limits peak switch current to 4.5A (typ) |
| Thermal shutdown + UVLO | Dual-protection architecture - shuts down at TJ >125°C and disables startup below VIN = 5.5V |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2678-5.0/NOPB | Fixed 5V, 5A, 63kHz switching - larger magnetics required; no BIAS pin or SYNC capability | Limited to lower-frequency designs where EMI filtering is easier; lacks thermal foldback and precise UVLO | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-space-constrained applications where 500kHz operation is unnecessary |
| TPS54560QDGQRQ1 | Adjustable 3.5–60V input, 5A, 100–2500kHz sync-capable - requires external feedback resistors; higher quiescent current (146µA) | Supports wider input range and programmable frequency; lacks integrated SENSE function for fixed 5V | Prefer when input voltage exceeds 25V or when adjustable output is needed; not drop-in for LT1374CR-5#TRPBF footprint |
Compared with LM2678-5.0/NOPB and TPS54560QDGQRQ1, the LT1374CR-5#TRPBF delivers superior power density via 500kHz operation, tighter 5V regulation without external dividers, and lower shutdown current - making it optimal for portable and thermally constrained designs where fixed 5V is required.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LT1374CR-5#TRPBF?
The LT1374CR-5#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 25V. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. The recommended operating range is 6V to 25V, with guaranteed startup at ≥5.5V. For designs requiring >25V input, the LT1374HVCR-5 variant (32V max) is specified and validated.
Does the LT1374CR-5#TRPBF require an external feedback resistor divider?
No. The LT1374CR-5#TRPBF uses an internal resistor divider and the SENSE pin (Pin 6) connects directly to the 5V output. This eliminates external FB resistors, removes bias current-induced regulation error, and improves output accuracy to ±1.2% over temperature and line.
How does the BOOST pin function in the LT1374CR-5#TRPBF?
The BOOST pin supplies a voltage higher than VIN to the internal NPN switch base, enabling saturation and reducing effective on-resistance to 0.07Ω. It requires an external boost capacitor (e.g., 10nF) and Schottky diode (e.g., CMDSH3) from VIN to BOOST. Without proper BOOST circuitry, efficiency drops significantly due to increased VCE(sat).
Can the LT1374CR-5#TRPBF be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes. The LT1374CR-5#TRPBF includes a dedicated SYNC pin (Pin 12) that accepts logic-level signals (10–90% duty cycle) from 580kHz to 1MHz. When used, it overrides the internal 500kHz oscillator - enabling EMI reduction through frequency dithering or synchronization with system clocks.
What thermal design guidance applies to the LT1374CR-5#TRPBF in TSSOP package?
The LT1374CR-5#TRPBF's FE16 package requires the exposed thermal pad to be soldered to a minimum 0.5-inch² copper area connected to internal/external ground planes. With proper layout, θJA is 40°C/W. Failure to connect the pad increases junction temperature by >40°C at full load - risking thermal shutdown or reduced reliability.
