Product details
Overview
LT1375CS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 500kHz monolithic buck switching regulator with integrated 1.5A NPN power switch, 2.42V internal reference, 0.4Ω typical switch on-resistance, and fixed 5V output. It operates from 6V to 25V input, delivers up to 1.25A at 5V, and targets battery-powered systems requiring compact, efficient DC/DC conversion.
For engineers reviewing the LT1375CS8#PBF datasheet, LT1375CS8#PBF pinout, LT1375CS8#PBF application, or LT1375CS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its constant-frequency current-mode control, cycle-by-cycle current limiting, 20µA shutdown current, SO-8 package thermal performance (θJA = 120–150°C/W), and compatibility with standard surface-mount inductors as small as 5µH.
Technical Context
The LT1375CS8#PBF implements current-mode control using an internal oscillator, error amplifier (2000 µMho transconductance), and peak-current comparator referenced to the VC pin. Its bipolar NPN switch is driven via BOOST pin voltage (≥VIN + 5V) to achieve saturation and low conduction loss.
It features dual shutdown thresholds: 2.38V for undervoltage lockout (UVLO) and 0.4V for micropower shutdown. Frequency foldback activates below 1V FB voltage, reducing switching frequency up to 5:1 during short-circuit conditions to limit power dissipation in the IC and external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 500 kHz nominal; enables use of small 5–10 µH inductors and reduces filter component size. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5 V ±1.2% (4.94–5.06 V); eliminates external feedback divider and simplifies layout. |
| Max Output Current | 1.25 A at VOUT = 5 V, VIN = 10 V, L = 10 µH; derates with higher duty cycle or smaller inductor. |
| Switch On-Resistance | 0.4 Ω typical (at ISW = 1.5 A, VBOOST = VIN + 5 V); minimizes conduction loss and improves efficiency >87%. |
| Shutdown Current | 20 µA max (VSHDN = 0 V, VIN ≤ 25 V); enables ultra-low-power standby in portable applications. |
| Input Voltage Range | 6 V to 25 V (min input defined by bias regulation; actual start-up requires ≥5.5 V per test data). |
| Reference Voltage | 2.42 V (used internally for 5 V output regulation; SENSE pin monitors output directly). |
Pinout & Package
LT1375CS8#PBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SOIC (S8) package with exposed pad thermal enhancement. Pin assignments are validated per Linear Technology's official 13756fd datasheet (Rev. G).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BOOST | Boost capacitor drive node | Supplies >VIN voltage to saturate internal NPN switch; must be connected to VIN via 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor and Schottky diode. |
| VIN | Power input and switch collector | Connects to input supply and internal switch collector; high di/dt node requiring local 100 µF solid tantalum bypass. |
| VSW | Switch emitter | Drives inductor; swings negative during off-time and must be clamped by external catch diode (e.g., 1N5818). |
| BIAS | Not connected (NC) | Unused on LT1375 series; LT1376 includes BIAS pin for efficiency optimization-LT1375CS8#PBF has no BIAS functionality. |
| VC | Error amplifier output / current limit control | Controls peak switch current; used for loop compensation; clamp range 0.9–2.1 V; drives to ground disables regulation. |
| FB/SENSE | Output voltage sense input | Fixed 5 V version uses this pin as SENSE-directly connects to regulated 5 V output for closed-loop feedback. |
| GND | Power and signal reference | Must tie to low-impedance ground plane; serves as output load reference and carries high-frequency switching return currents. |
| SHDN | Shutdown control | Logic-compatible input: <0.4 V = full shutdown (20 µA IQ); >2.38 V = UVLO disable; 0.4–2.38 V = active operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant 500 kHz switching frequency | Enables predictable EMI filtering and consistent inductor sizing across designs without frequency drift. |
| Integrated 1.5 A NPN power switch | Eliminates external MOSFET and gate driver; reduces BOM count and PCB area while maintaining bipolar efficiency. |
| Current-mode control architecture | Provides inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting, fast transient response, and stable loop compensation with minimal external parts. |
| BOOST-driven saturated switch | Achieves 0.4 Ω RON equivalent-reducing conduction loss vs. conventional bipolar designs and enabling >87% efficiency. |
| Two-threshold shutdown logic | Separates UVLO (2.38 V) from deep shutdown (0.4 V), allowing controlled power sequencing and brown-out protection. |
| Frequency and current foldback | Reduces switching frequency and peak current when FB/SENSE <1 V or <1.7 V-limiting thermal stress during output shorts. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3605EDE#PBF | 4 MHz synchronous buck, 3 A, 2.5–5.5 V input, integrated MOSFETs; no BOOST pin required. | Targets lower input voltages and higher current; unsuitable for 6–25 V input range of LT1375CS8#PBF. | Select only if input is ≤5.5 V and higher efficiency at light loads is critical; not drop-in compatible. |
| LM2678SX-5.0/NOPB | 63 kHz buck, 5 A, 8–40 V input, external MOSFET driver; larger inductor (33–100 µH) required. | Higher current, wider input range, but lower frequency increases solution size and EMI filtering complexity. | Choose when >1.25 A output or >25 V input is needed; requires redesign of magnetics and compensation. |
Compared with LTC3605EDE#PBF and LM2678SX-5.0/NOPB, the LT1375CS8#PBF uniquely balances mid-range input (6–25 V), fixed 5 V output, 500 kHz operation, and BOOST-assisted bipolar switch efficiency-making it optimal for space-constrained 5 V systems where input exceeds 5.5 V and cost-sensitive BOMs exclude synchronous controllers.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LT1375CS8#PBF?
The absolute maximum input voltage for the LT1375CS8#PBF is 25 V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation above this voltage risks permanent damage. The device is characterized for reliable operation from 6 V to 25 V, with minimum functional input voltage of 5.5 V under typical conditions. Always observe derating guidelines for extended temperature or high-reliability applications.
Does the LT1375CS8#PBF require an external BOOST capacitor, and what value is recommended?
Yes, the LT1375CS8#PBF requires an external BOOST capacitor connected between BOOST and VIN pins. A 0.1 µF X7R ceramic capacitor is recommended per the datasheet, placed as close as possible to the IC. This capacitor, charged via an external Schottky diode (e.g., 1N5817), generates the boosted voltage needed to saturate the internal NPN switch and achieve 0.4 Ω on-resistance.
Can the LT1375CS8#PBF be synchronized to an external clock?
No, the LT1375CS8#PBF does not support external synchronization. Only the LT1375 variant (not the -5 fixed-output version) includes a SYNC pin. The LT1375CS8#PBF is the fixed 5 V version and lacks the SYNC function-its oscillator runs autonomously at 500 kHz. For synchronizable 5 V buck regulation, consider the LT1375CS8 (adjustable version) or LT1376CS8-5.
What is the purpose of the SHDN pin's dual thresholds on the LT1375CS8#PBF?
The SHDN pin on the LT1375CS8#PBF has two distinct thresholds: 2.38 V initiates undervoltage lockout (UVLO), disabling switching until input rises sufficiently; 0.4 V triggers full micropower shutdown, reducing supply current to 20 µA. This dual-threshold design enables precise power sequencing and brown-out protection without external circuitry-critical for battery systems with variable voltage profiles.
How does the LT1375CS8#PBF protect against output short-circuit conditions?
The LT1375CS8#PBF employs dual-foldback protection: when FB/SENSE voltage drops below 1.7 V, peak switch current is reduced; below 1 V, switching frequency folds back up to 5:1. Combined with cycle-by-cycle current limiting (1.5 A typical) and thermal shutdown, this limits power dissipation in both the IC and external components during sustained shorts-enabling safe operation without external current-limiting circuitry.
