Product details
Overview
LT1376HVCS#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-voltage 500kHz monolithic buck switching regulator with integrated 1.5A NPN power switch, fixed 5V output, and 6V–25V input range. It uses current-mode control for fast transient response, features 0.4Ω switch on-resistance, 2.5mA quiescent current, and 20µA shutdown current. It is designed for compact, efficient DC/DC conversion in battery-powered industrial systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT1376HVCS#TRPBF datasheet, LT1376HVCS#TRPBF pinout, LT1376HVCS#TRPBF application, or LT1376HVCS#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its HV-rated 30V absolute max input, BOOST-pin-driven saturation architecture, thermal performance in SO-8 package, and compatibility with low-ESR tantalum output capacitors.
Technical Context
The LT1376HVCS#TRPBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control using an internal 500kHz oscillator and cycle-by-cycle peak current limiting. Its bipolar NPN switch is driven via an external BOOST capacitor to achieve saturated operation-reducing conduction loss to ~0.4Ω and enabling >87% efficiency at full load.
It integrates a 2.42V reference, error amplifier with 2000 µMho transconductance, and dual-threshold shutdown (0.37V active shutdown, 2.38V UVLO). The BIAS pin (present only on LT1376 variants) allows output-derived biasing to improve light-load efficiency when VIN ≫ VOUT.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 6V to 25V - supports wide industrial input rails; absolute max 30V per HV rating. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5V ±1.2% - internally trimmed sense threshold eliminates external feedback resistors. |
| Switch Current Limit | 1.5A at ≤50% duty cycle - defines maximum continuous output current with appropriate inductor sizing. |
| Switch On Resistance | 0.4Ω typical - achieved via BOOST-pin-assisted saturation, reducing conduction loss vs. standard bipolar designs. |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 2.5mA typical - enables high efficiency across wide load range; drops to 20µA in shutdown. |
| Switching Frequency | 500kHz ±10% - enables use of small 5–10µH inductors and reduces output ripple frequency. |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 120–150°C/W - depends on PCB layout; fused-corner SO-8 package improves heat dissipation over standard SO-8. |
Pinout & Package
LT1376HVCS#TRPBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SO (S8) package with fused corner pins connected to ground for enhanced thermal performance. Pin 1 is VC, Pin 2 is FB/SENSE, Pin 3 is GND, Pin 4 is SHDN, Pin 5 is BOOST, Pin 6 is VIN, Pin 7 is VSW, and Pin 8 is BIAS.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VC | Error amplifier output / current limit control | Drives internal current comparator; voltage ~1V (light load) to ~2V (full load); can be clamped to disable switching. |
| FB/SENSE | Output voltage sensing (fixed 5V mode) | Internally connected to 5V output; monitors regulation; triggers foldback protection below 1.7V. |
| GND | Power and signal reference | Must be tied directly to low-impedance ground plane; serves as return path for switch current and error amp reference. |
| SHDN | Enable/disable control | Logic-low (<0.6V) disables switching; 2.38V threshold provides accurate undervoltage lockout (UVLO). |
| BOOST | Switch drive voltage boost | Accepts external capacitor+diode network to generate VIN+5V drive - essential for NPN saturation and low RON. |
| VIN | Main power input | Supplies internal circuitry and collector of on-chip NPN switch; requires local 100µF solid tantalum bypass. |
| VSW | Switch emitter node | Connects to inductor; swings negative during off-time - requires external catch diode (e.g., 1N5818) clamping. |
| BIAS | Efficiency-optimized bias supply | When tied to regulated 5V output, shifts internal bias current from VIN to VOUT - improves light-load efficiency by >10% at VIN=20V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-voltage input rating | 30V absolute maximum input (HV variant) - supports 24V industrial rails with margin. |
| Integrated BOOST-drive architecture | Enables NPN saturation with 0.4Ω effective RON, achieving >87% efficiency without MOSFET-level die area. |
| Current-mode control with slope compensation | Provides inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting and stable loop behavior up to 90% duty cycle. |
| Dual-threshold shutdown | 0.37V active shutdown + 2.38V UVLO - ensures clean start-up and prevents brownout operation. |
| Feedback pin foldback protection | Reduces switching frequency and current limit during short-circuit - limits power dissipation in IC and external components. |
| BIAS pin for output-derived biasing | Improves light-load efficiency by sourcing internal bias current from VOUT instead of VIN - validated at VIN=20V/VOUT=5V. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3605EDE#TRPBF | 4MHz synchronous buck, 3.6V–36V input, 5V/1A output, integrated MOSFETs, no BOOST pin required. | Higher frequency enables smaller inductors/caps but increases switching loss at high load; lacks BIAS pin for output-derived biasing. | Choose for ultra-compact size and lower EMI filter cost; avoid if BIAS-driven efficiency gain at light load is critical. |
| LM2678SD-5.0/NOPB | 63kHz nonsynchronous buck, 8V–40V input, 5V/5A output, higher quiescent current (50mA), no BIAS or BOOST functionality. | Lower switching frequency demands larger magnetics; higher dropout limits minimum input to ~9V for 5V output. | Choose for high-current, cost-sensitive industrial supplies where thermal headroom exists; avoid for battery or low-input applications. |
Compared with LTC3605EDE#TRPBF and LM2678SD-5.0/NOPB, LT1376HVCS#TRPBF uniquely balances HV input capability, BOOST-enabled saturation efficiency, and BIAS-driven light-load optimization - making it optimal for 6–25V input systems needing 1.25A at 5V with thermal and size constraints.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LT1376HVCS#TRPBF?
The LT1376HVCS#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 30V, confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Its recommended operating input range is 6V to 25V. This HV rating distinguishes it from standard LT1376 variants (25V max) and enables reliable operation in 24V industrial systems with transient margin. Exceeding 30V risks permanent damage.
Does LT1376HVCS#TRPBF require an external BOOST capacitor, and why?
Yes, LT1376HVCS#TRPBF requires an external BOOST capacitor (and associated diode) connected between VIN and BOOST pins. This network generates a drive voltage ~5V above VIN to saturate the internal NPN power switch - reducing its effective on-resistance to 0.4Ω and enabling >87% efficiency. Omitting the BOOST network results in excessive switch voltage drop (~1.5V) and severe efficiency degradation.
How does the BIAS pin on LT1376HVCS#TRPBF improve efficiency?
The BIAS pin on LT1376HVCS#TRPBF allows internal circuitry to draw bias current from the regulated 5V output instead of the higher VIN rail. When tied to VOUT, this reduces total input-referred quiescent current - improving light-load efficiency by over 10% at VIN=20V/VOUT=5V. This feature is exclusive to LT1376 (not LT1375) and is documented in the Applications Information section.
What protection features does LT1376HVCS#TRPBF provide during output short-circuit?
LT1376HVCS#TRPBF implements dual foldback protection during short-circuit: (1) switching frequency reduces ~5:1 when FB/SENSE voltage falls below 1V, and (2) peak switch current limit folds back from 1.5A to <1A when FB/SENSE drops below 1.7V. These features - enabled by internal circuitry shown in Figure 2 - limit power dissipation in both the IC and external components without requiring external circuitry.
Is LT1376HVCS#TRPBF pin-compatible with other LT1376 variants in SO-8 package?
Yes, LT1376HVCS#TRPBF shares identical pinout and SO-8 footprint with all LT1376 variants (e.g., LT1376CS8#TRPBF, LT1376IS8#TRPBF). The HV designation reflects internal process and rating differences - not pin assignment. All share VC, FB/SENSE, GND, SHDN, BOOST, VIN, VSW, and BIAS pin functions and locations per the S8 PACKAGE top view diagram.
