Product details
Overview
LT1376IS#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 500kHz, 1.5A monolithic synchronous step-down DC/DC switching regulator in SO-8 package with fixed 5V output, internal feedback divider, and BIAS pin for improved light-load efficiency. It delivers up to 1.25A at 5V from 6V–25V input, features cycle-by-cycle current limiting, thermal shutdown, and operates with only surface-mount external components including a 5µH inductor.
For engineers reviewing the LT1376IS#TRPBF datasheet, LT1376IS#TRPBF pinout, LT1376IS#TRPBF application, or LT1376IS#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 500kHz constant-frequency current-mode architecture, 0.4Ω switch on-resistance, 2.5mA typical quiescent current, 20µA shutdown current, and BIAS pin support for >10% efficiency gain at high VIN/low IOUT conditions.
Technical Context
The LT1376IS#TRPBF implements a current-mode buck topology with an internal 1.5A NPN power switch, 500kHz oscillator, error amplifier (2000 µMho transconductance), and slope-compensated peak-current control loop. Its BOOST pin enables saturation of the bipolar switch via external capacitor/diode, reducing conduction loss to ~0.4Ω and enabling >87% efficiency.
It integrates dual shutdown thresholds: 2.38V UVLO for undervoltage lockout and 0.4V for micropower shutdown. The BIAS pin (LT1376-specific) allows sourcing internal bias current from VOUT instead of VIN-critical for efficiency optimization when VIN ≫ VOUT (e.g., 20V→5V at 25mA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5V ±1.2% (guaranteed over temperature; eliminates external resistor divider) |
| Switching Frequency | 500kHz ±6% (constant frequency enables predictable EMI filtering and small passive sizing) |
| Max Output Current | 1.25A at 5V (with 10µH inductor, VIN = 10V; derates with duty cycle and inductor value) |
| Switch On-Resistance | 0.4Ω typ (enables low conduction loss; achieved via BOOST-driven saturation of NPN switch) |
| Quiescent Current | 2.5mA typ (input supply current at full operation; enables high efficiency across wide load range) |
| Shutdown Current | 20µA max (reduces system standby power; verified over –40°C to 125°C junction temp) |
| Input Voltage Range | 6V to 25V (minimum 6V ensures stable bias regulation; excludes startup transient limitations) |
| Thermal Shutdown | Integrated (protects against sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking; auto-recovery) |
Pinout & Package
LT1376IS#TRPBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SO (S8) package with exposed pad thermal enhancement. Pin mapping follows standard SO-8 layout with GND pins on both sides for low-impedance grounding and EMI control.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BOOST | Switch drive voltage boost node | Accepts external capacitor/diode to generate VIN+5V; enables NPN saturation and 0.4Ω RON |
| VIN | Power switch collector & IC supply input | Connects to input source; high di/dt node requiring local bypass capacitor and short trace routing |
| VSW | Switch emitter output | Drives inductor; swings negative during off-time; requires catch diode clamping to –0.8V max |
| BIAS | Internal circuitry bias supply input | Connect to regulated 5V output to reduce input current draw and improve light-load efficiency |
| VC | Error amplifier output / current limit comparator input | Used for loop compensation; also serves as current clamp point (0.9V–2.1V operating range) |
| FB/SENSE | Feedback reference / output voltage sense | Internally tied to 5V output (fixed version); monitors output for regulation and foldback protection |
| GND | Analog & power ground reference | Must be connected directly to load return path; critical for load regulation and EMI suppression |
| SHDN | Enable/disable control input | Logic-compatible; 0.4V threshold for full shutdown, 2.38V for UVLO; pulls <50µA in shutdown |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant 500kHz switching frequency | Enables consistent EMI profile and predictable filter design; no external sync required |
| Integrated 5V feedback divider | Eliminates two external resistors; reduces BOM count and improves accuracy vs. discrete dividers |
| BIAS pin for output-sourced biasing | Reduces total input current by >10% at VIN=20V/VOUT=5V/IOUT=25mA; extends battery life |
| Cycle-by-cycle current limiting | Prevents switch damage during overload or short-circuit; works with internal slope compensation |
| Frequency & current foldback under fault | Reduces power dissipation in IC, diode, and inductor during short-circuit by lowering fSW and ILIM |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Protects die at >165°C junction; auto-restarts after cooldown; prevents latch-up in sustained faults |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2678-5.0/NOPB | 5V fixed, 5A rating, 260kHz switching, no BIAS pin, higher IQ (5mA) | Better for high-current (>1.5A), lower-frequency EMI-sensitive designs; lacks light-load efficiency optimization | Select if output current >1.25A required or if 260kHz frequency simplifies EMI compliance |
| TPS54202DRCT | 5V adjustable (external resistors), 2A, 500kHz, integrated MOSFETs, no BOOST pin, 18µA shutdown | Higher integration (no external diode), but requires feedback resistors and lacks BOOST-enabled low-RON advantage | Select for space-constrained designs needing integrated FETs and smaller solution size, accepting trade-off in peak efficiency |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the LT1376IS#TRPBF?
The LT1376IS#TRPBF delivers up to 1.25A continuous output current at 5V with VIN = 10V and a 10µH inductor. Maximum current decreases with higher VIN (due to increased ripple) and lower inductance; at VIN = 25V and L = 5µH, rated output drops to ~0.8A. The internal 1.5A switch current limit and duty-cycle-dependent derating must be verified per application conditions using the formula in the datasheet.
Does the LT1376IS#TRPBF require an external feedback resistor network?
No. The LT1376IS#TRPBF is the fixed 5V version and includes an internal feedback divider. The FB pin functions as a SENSE pin directly connected to the output, eliminating external resistors. This improves accuracy, reduces component count, and avoids errors from FB pin bias current-unlike adjustable versions such as LT1376CS8.
How does the BIAS pin improve efficiency in the LT1376IS#TRPBF?
The BIAS pin allows the LT1376IS#TRPBF to draw internal bias current from the regulated 5V output instead of the higher VIN rail. At VIN = 20V and IOUT = 25mA, this reduces total input current by >10%, directly extending battery life in portable systems. The feature requires VOUT ≥ 3.3V and proper decoupling at the BIAS pin.
What protection features are integrated into the LT1376IS#TRPBF?
The LT1376IS#TRPBF integrates cycle-by-cycle current limiting, thermal shutdown with hysteresis, undervoltage lockout (2.38V SHDN threshold), and micropower shutdown (0.4V SHDN threshold). It also implements frequency and current foldback during output faults-reducing power dissipation in the IC, catch diode, and inductor during short-circuit events.
Can the LT1376IS#TRPBF be synchronized to an external clock?
No. External synchronization is supported only on the LT1375 variant (via SYNC pin). The LT1376IS#TRPBF has a fixed 500kHz internal oscillator with ±6% tolerance and no sync capability. Designs requiring synchronized switching must use LT1375-based solutions or add external clocking circuitry-not applicable to LT1376IS#TRPBF.
