Product details
Overview
LT1374IR-5#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a fixed 5V, 4.5A monolithic synchronous step-down switching regulator in 16-pin TSSOP with exposed pad. It operates at a constant 500kHz switching frequency, features cycle-by-cycle current limiting, 0.07Ω switch on-resistance, and supports input voltages from 6V to 25V. It is designed for high-efficiency power conversion in space-constrained battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT1374IR-5#TRPBF datasheet, LT1374IR-5#TRPBF pinout, LT1374IR-5#TRPBF application, or LT1374IR-5#TRPBF equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed alternatives, and supply-chain-ready availability details - all grounded in official Linear Technology documentation and Analog Devices product data.
Technical Context
The LT1374IR-5#TRPBF implements current-mode control with an internal 2.42V reference and fixed 5V output via integrated SENSE resistor network. Its bipolar NPN power switch is driven by a BOOST pin circuit enabling saturation and low conduction loss (0.07Ω typical). The 500kHz oscillator is temperature-stable and line-regulated (±0.15%/V), supporting fast transient response without external compensation.
It integrates undervoltage lockout (2.38V threshold), thermal shutdown, and dual-mode shutdown: micropower mode (20µA) at SHDN < 0.4V and UVLO standby at SHDN < 2.38V. The BIAS pin (available in TSSOP) allows efficiency optimization by sourcing bias current from the regulated output when VIN ≥ 20V and VOUT = 5V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±1.2% (4.94–5.06V), eliminating external feedback resistors and reducing layout sensitivity. |
| Max Output Current | 4.5A continuous at ≤50% duty cycle; derates to ~4.3A at 62.5% duty cycle (VIN=8V, VOUT=5V), defining practical load limits. |
| Switch On-Resistance | 0.07Ω typical at 4.5A, enabling >89% peak efficiency and minimizing thermal stress vs. conventional bipolar regulators. |
| Switching Frequency | 500kHz ±8% (460–540kHz), enabling compact 1.8–5µH inductors and reducing EMI fundamental frequency. |
| Shutdown Current | 20µA typical at VSHDN = 0V, VIN ≤ 25V, enabling ultra-low-power sleep states in portable systems. |
| Input Voltage Range | 6V to 25V minimum operating range; absolute max 25V - requires input filtering above 6V to avoid startup failure. |
| Efficiency @ 5V/3A | ≥89% at VIN = 10V, confirming minimal power loss in mid-range loads typical of embedded computing rails. |
Pinout & Package
LT1374IR-5#TRPBF is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP package with exposed thermal pad (FE16), optimized for high-power density and thermal dissipation in surface-mount applications. The exposed pad must be soldered to a PCB ground plane for θJA = 30°C/W performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 1, 8, 9, 16) | Power and signal reference ground | Four dedicated GND pins minimize ground impedance; critical for load regulation and EMI control - must connect directly to solid ground plane. |
| VIN (Pins 3, 4) | Main input voltage supply | Dual VIN pins reduce trace inductance and voltage spikes during switch transitions - must be shorted together on PCB. |
| VSW (Pins 10, 11) | Switch emitter node | Dual VSW pins carry high di/dt switching current - requires tight coupling to catch diode and inductor to limit negative swing (< –0.8V). |
| BOOST (Pin 5) | Switch driver boost supply | Connects to external capacitor-diode network to generate ~VIN+5V drive - enables NPN saturation and 0.07Ω RON. |
| FB/SENSE (Pin 6) | Fixed 5V output sense input | Internally connected to 5V output; monitors regulation accuracy and triggers foldback protection if voltage collapses below 4.4V. |
| SHDN (Pin 13) | Shutdown control input | Logic-compatible input: <0.4V forces full shutdown (20µA IQ); 2.38V threshold enables UVLO for controlled startup. |
| VC (Pin 14) | Error amplifier output / current limit setpoint | Provides access to internal loop compensation node; can be clamped to override current limit or force shutdown. |
| BIAS (Pin 15) | Internal bias supply input | Accepts 3–7V external source (e.g., 5V output) to improve efficiency at high VIN - mandatory for >10% gain at VIN=20V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Current-mode topology | Enables stable loop operation with minimal external compensation and <10µs load transient recovery time. |
| Integrated slope compensation | Prevents subharmonic oscillation up to 90% duty cycle without external components - critical for wide VIN ranges. |
| Frequency foldback protection | Reduces switching frequency 5:1 when output collapses (<1V FB), limiting power dissipation during short-circuit faults. |
| Thermal shutdown + cycle-by-cycle current limit | Guarantees safe operation under overload, ambient >125°C, or poor heatsinking - no external fault management required. |
| BOOST-driven saturated switch | Delivers FET-like conduction loss (0.07Ω) using bipolar process, achieving >89% efficiency where MOSFET-based ICs typically lag. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3605EDE-5#PBF | 4A, 3MHz synchronous buck; uses MOSFET switches, lower IQ (25µA), no BOOST pin required. | Higher frequency enables smaller inductors but increases switching loss above 2A; lacks foldback protection. | Choose for ultra-compact designs where 3MHz operation is acceptable and short-circuit robustness is managed externally. |
| TPS54560QDGQRQ1 | 5A, 100kHz–2.5MHz adjustable-frequency buck; integrated high-side MOSFET, 3.5–60V input. | Wider input range and AEC-Q100 qualification suit automotive; lower switching frequency increases inductor size. | Choose for automotive-grade 5V rails requiring extended temp support (–40°C to 125°C) and higher VIN tolerance. |
Compared with LT1374IR-5#TRPBF, LTC3605EDE-5#PBF offers higher frequency and lower quiescent current but sacrifices short-circuit foldback and thermal robustness; TPS54560QDGQRQ1 provides automotive qualification and wider VIN but requires larger magnetics and lacks the BOOST-enabled saturation efficiency at high current.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LT1374IR-5#TRPBF?
The LT1374IR-5#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 25V. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. Its specified functional input range is 6V to 25V; below 6V, the internal bias regulator cannot maintain regulation, causing startup failure or erratic behavior. Always include input overvoltage protection if system transients exceed 25V.
Does the LT1374IR-5#TRPBF require an external BOOST capacitor and diode?
Yes, the LT1374IR-5#TRPBF requires an external BOOST capacitor and Schottky diode (e.g., MBRS330T3) connected between VIN and BOOST pins. This network generates the ~VIN+5V gate drive needed to saturate the internal NPN switch and achieve its 0.07Ω on-resistance. Omitting it results in excessive conduction loss, thermal runaway, and failure to deliver rated 4.5A output.
Can the LT1374IR-5#TRPBF be synchronized to an external clock?
No, the LT1374IR-5#TRPBF does not support synchronization. The -5 variant replaces the SYNC pin with SHDN functionality. Only variants marked "-SYNC" (e.g., LT1374IR-SYNC) or "-5 SYNC" include the SYNC pin. Attempting to drive a clock signal into the SHDN pin of LT1374IR-5#TRPBF will trigger shutdown instead of synchronization.
What is the purpose of the BIAS pin on the LT1374IR-5#TRPBF?
The BIAS pin on the LT1374IR-5#TRPBF accepts an external 3–7V supply (typically the 5V output) to power internal circuitry, reducing total input current draw and improving efficiency - especially at high VIN (e.g., 20V input → 5V output). When unused, BIAS floats and internal bias is drawn from VIN, increasing quiescent loss. Connecting BIAS to VOUT yields >10% efficiency gain at light loads.
How does the LT1374IR-5#TRPBF protect against short-circuit conditions?
The LT1374IR-5#TRPBF employs three-tiered short-circuit protection: (1) cycle-by-cycle current limiting caps peak switch current at 4.5A; (2) frequency foldback reduces switching frequency 5:1 when output collapses (<1V at SENSE), lowering average power; and (3) thermal shutdown disables the IC if junction temperature exceeds 125°C. These operate simultaneously without external components.
