Product details
Overview
LT1376IS8-5#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 5V fixed-output, 500kHz current-mode buck switching regulator with integrated 1.5A NPN power switch, 0.4Ω on-resistance, and 20µA shutdown current. It operates from 6V to 25V input, delivers up to 1.25A output, and targets space-constrained battery-powered systems requiring high efficiency at light loads.
For engineers reviewing the LT1376IS8-5#TRPBF datasheet, LT1376IS8-5#TRPBF pinout, LT1376IS8-5#TRPBF application, or LT1376IS8-5#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 5V output, BIAS pin for efficiency optimization at high VIN, cycle-by-cycle current limiting, thermal shutdown, and SO-8 package compatibility with standard PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LT1376IS8-5#TRPBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control using an internal 500kHz oscillator and dual feedback loops: one via the error amplifier (VC pin) setting peak switch current, the other via cycle-by-cycle inductor current sensing. Its bipolar NPN switch uses BOOST-pin-driven saturation to achieve 0.4Ω on-resistance and >87% efficiency.
It features two independent SHDN thresholds: 2.38V for UVLO-based standby and 0.4V for full micropower shutdown. The BIAS pin (LT1376-specific) enables sourcing internal bias current from VOUT instead of VIN-improving efficiency by >10% at VIN = 20V, VOUT = 5V, IOUT = 25mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±1.2% (guaranteed over temperature and line) |
| Switch Current Limit | 1.5A at ≤50% duty cycle; reduces to 1.35A at 80% duty cycle for slope compensation |
| Switch On Resistance | 0.4Ω typical (enables low conduction loss and high efficiency at 1.25A load) |
| Shutdown Current | 20µA typical (reduces system standby power in battery applications) |
| Operating Input Range | 6V to 25V (minimum 5.5V guaranteed; supports 12V rail and wide-input industrial supplies) |
| Switching Frequency | 500kHz ±10% (enables compact 5–10µH inductors and low-profile designs) |
| Efficiency | 87% typical at 1A, VIN = 12V, VOUT = 5V (achieved via BOOST-saturated switch and BIAS pin optimization) |
Pinout & Package
LT1376IS8-5#TRPBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SO (S8) package with exposed pad thermal enhancement. Pin functions are validated per Linear Technology's official datasheet (13756fd), with GND pins at positions 3 and 4 providing low-impedance return paths for both power and control circuitry.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BOOST | Boost capacitor drive node | Provides voltage >VIN to saturate NPN switch; enables 0.4Ω RON and high efficiency |
| VIN | Input supply and switch collector | Supplies internal circuitry and powers external catch diode; requires low-inductance bypassing |
| VSW | Switch emitter | Drives inductor; swings negative during off-time-requires clamping diode |
| BIAS | Internal bias supply selector | When tied to VOUT ≥3.3V, shifts bias current source from VIN to VOUT, improving light-load efficiency |
| VC | Error amplifier output / current limit setpoint | Controls peak switch current; used for loop compensation and external override |
| FB/SENSE | Fixed 5V output sense input | Internally connected to 5V output; monitors regulation and triggers foldback below 1.7V |
| GND | Analog and power ground reference | Dual GND pins (3 & 4) minimize ground bounce; critical for load regulation and EMI control |
| SHDN | Shutdown control with dual thresholds | 2.38V = UVLO standby; 0.4V = full micropower shutdown (20µA IQ) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Current-mode topology | Enables fast transient response and stable loop compensation without external type-II/III networks |
| BOOST-driven saturation | Reduces switch conduction loss vs. conventional bipolar regulators-efficiency gain >12% |
| BIAS pin operation | Improves light-load efficiency by >10% at VIN = 20V/VOUT = 5V by shifting bias current path |
| Cycle-by-cycle current limiting | Prevents switch damage during overload or short-circuit; folds back frequency and current below 1V FB |
| Thermal shutdown protection | Halts switching if junction temperature exceeds safe limit-prevents permanent device failure |

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 | 5V fixed, 1A output, 260kHz switching, no BIAS pin, higher RDS(on) (~0.6Ω) | Limited to 1A load; lower frequency requires larger inductor; lacks efficiency-optimizing BIAS function | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency and current requirements; verify thermal margin at 1.25A. |
| TPS54202DRCT | 5V adjustable (external resistor), 2A output, 500kHz, integrated MOSFET, no BOOST pin | Higher current capability but uses MOSFET architecture-lower efficiency at light loads vs. BIAS-optimized LT1376IS8-5#TRPBF | Prefer for designs needing >1.25A or adjustable output; avoid if BIAS-driven light-load efficiency is critical. |
Compared with LM2678-5.0/NOPB and TPS54202DRCT, the LT1376IS8-5#TRPBF uniquely combines fixed 5V output, 1.25A capability, BIAS pin efficiency boost, and BOOST-saturation for lowest conduction loss-making it optimal for space- and battery-limited 5V systems where thermal headroom is constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the LT1376IS8-5#TRPBF?
The LT1376IS8-5#TRPBF delivers up to 1.25A continuous output current at 5V when using a 10µH inductor and VIN = 10V. At higher input voltages (e.g., VIN = 15V), peak inductor current increases, reducing usable output current to ~1.17A. The 1.5A internal switch current limit is duty-cycle dependent-decreasing to 1.35A above 50% duty cycle due to slope compensation.
Does the LT1376IS8-5#TRPBF require an external feedback resistor divider?
No-the LT1376IS8-5#TRPBF is a fixed 5V output variant. Its FB/SENSE pin connects internally to the 5V output and functions solely as a sense input; no external resistor divider is needed. This simplifies layout and eliminates tolerance-induced output voltage drift from external components.
How does the BIAS pin improve efficiency in the LT1376IS8-5#TRPBF?
The BIAS pin on the LT1376IS8-5#TRPBF allows internal bias circuitry to draw current from the regulated 5V output instead of the higher input voltage. At VIN = 20V and IOUT = 25mA, this reduces total input-referred quiescent current by >10%, directly extending battery life in light-load conditions.
What protection features are built into the LT1376IS8-5#TRPBF?
The LT1376IS8-5#TRPBF integrates cycle-by-cycle current limiting, thermal shutdown, and dual-threshold shutdown (2.38V UVLO + 0.4V deep shutdown). It also features frequency and current foldback below 1V on the FB/SENSE pin-reducing power dissipation during short-circuit events without external components.
Can the LT1376IS8-5#TRPBF operate with input voltage below 6V?
The absolute minimum input voltage for reliable operation is 5.5V (guaranteed), but the recommended minimum is 6V per datasheet guidance. Below 6V, performance degrades: minimum duty cycle increases, switch current limit drops, and BIAS pin functionality may be impaired. For sub-6V inputs, consider the LT1507 (4.5V–12V range, functionally identical).
