Product details
Overview
LT1507CS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 500kHz monolithic buck-mode switching regulator in an 8-lead SOIC package, designed for step-down conversion from 4V–15V input to fixed 3.3V output at up to 1.25A. It integrates a 1.5A NPN power switch with 0.3Ω on-resistance, current-mode control, and cycle-by-cycle current limiting-enabling compact, high-efficiency DC/DC conversion in portable computing and battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT1507CS8#TRPBF datasheet, LT1507CS8#TRPBF pinout, LT1507CS8#TRPBF application, or LT1507CS8#TRPBF equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world efficiency curves (≥85% at 1.25A/3.3V), thermal shutdown protection, and validated alternatives for 3.3V point-of-load regulation.
Technical Context
The LT1507CS8#TRPBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control using an internal 500kHz oscillator and dual feedback loops: one for voltage regulation via the error amplifier (VC pin), and another for cycle-by-cycle peak current sensing via the SENSE pin. Its bipolar NPN switch is driven by a BOOST-capacitor-assisted gate drive, enabling saturation and low conduction loss (0.3Ω typical).
It features two independent shutdown thresholds: 2.38V for undervoltage lockout (UVLO) and 0.4V for micropower shutdown (20µA quiescent current). The SYNC pin supports external synchronization from 580kHz to 1MHz, and the FB/SENSE pin provides foldback current limiting and frequency reduction during short-circuit conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 500kHz nominal (460–540kHz over temperature); enables use of small inductors (as low as 2µH) and reduces filter component size. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±1.5% (3.25–3.35V); internally trimmed reference eliminates external resistor divider in standard applications. |
| Max Output Current | 1.25A continuous (at VIN=5V, VOUT=3.3V); limited by internal 1.5A switch and thermal design with θJA = 120°C/W. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 15V; minimum start-up voltage is ~4.3V, supporting operation down to 1V above output under load. |
| Efficiency | ≥85% at 1.25A/3.3V (VIN=5V); achieved via saturated NPN switch and 4mA quiescent supply current. |
| Shutdown Current | 20µA typical (15–50µA); enables long battery life in standby mode without external disconnect circuitry. |
| Thermal Protection | Full-cycle thermal shutdown at TJ ≥ 125°C; automatically recovers after cooldown-no latch required. |
Pinout & Package
LT1507CS8#TRPBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SOIC (S8) package, 3.9mm × 4.9mm, with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint and 1.27mm pitch. Thermal resistance θJA = 120°C/W (dependent on PCB layout).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BOOST (Pin 1) | Switch driver boost supply | Accepts external capacitor to generate >VIN voltage; enables NPN saturation and 0.3Ω effective RDS(on). |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Main power input | Supplies bias and switch current; operates from 4V–15V; requires local 0.1µF ceramic bypass. |
| VSW (Pin 3) | Internal switch collector | Swings from VIN to ~–0.7V (clamped by catch diode); drives external inductor and catch diode node. |
| SHDN (Pin 4) | Enable/disable control | Logic-compatible input: >2.38V = UVLO active; <0.4V = full shutdown (20µA IQ). |
| SYNC (Pin 5) | External clock synchronization | Accepts TTL/CMOS logic signal (10–90% duty); locks internal oscillator from 580kHz to 1MHz. |
| GND (Pin 6) | Power and signal reference | Common return for VIN, BOOST, SHDN, and SENSE; must be low-impedance plane for stability. |
| FB/SENSE (Pin 7) | Output voltage sense | Direct connection to 3.3V output; triggers foldback current limit when voltage drops below 1.5V. |
| VC (Pin 8) | Error amplifier output | Drives peak current comparator; used for compensation (type II/III), current clamping, or loop override. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 500kHz fixed-frequency operation | Enables consistent EMI profile and predictable filter design; avoids audible noise and simplifies compliance testing. |
| Saturated NPN switch (0.3Ω) | Reduces conduction loss vs. conventional bipolar designs-improves efficiency by >15% at full load. |
| Current-mode control architecture | Provides inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting, fast transient response, and stable loop compensation without slope compensation below 700kHz. |
| Two-threshold shutdown (UVLO + deep sleep) | Eliminates need for external supervisor IC: 2.38V threshold prevents startup until input is valid; 0.4V threshold cuts IQ to 20µA. |
| Frequency and current foldback | Under short-circuit, reduces switching frequency ~5:1 and limits peak current to <1A-protecting IC, diode, and inductor. |
Applications
| Portable Computing Power Rails | Battery-Powered System Core Supply |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1375CS8#TRPBF | Wider input range (5.5V–25V); higher min VIN (5.5V vs. 4V); same 500kHz, 1.5A switch, SO-8 package. | Not suitable for sub-5.5V inputs (e.g., single Li-ion); better for 12V/24V industrial rails. | Select LT1375CS8#TRPBF only if input exceeds 5.5V and 3.3V output is required-otherwise LT1507CS8#TRPBF offers superior low-VIN performance. |
| TPS54331DR | 3.5V–28V input; 3.5A switch; 570kHz–750kHz adjustable frequency; integrated MOSFET; different pinout and compensation scheme. | Higher current capability but larger solution size; requires external compensation and different layout rules. | Choose TPS54331DR for >1.5A loads or wider input range; avoid for space-constrained 1.25A designs where LT1507CS8#TRPBF's proven 8-pin SOIC layout suffices. |
Compared with LT1375CS8#TRPBF, LT1507CS8#TRPBF delivers usable regulation down to 4V input-critical for battery-fed systems-while maintaining identical package, pinout, and control architecture. Against TPS54331DR, it trades higher current for smaller footprint, lower BOM count, and simpler compensation, making it optimal for cost- and size-sensitive 3.3V/1.25A applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the LT1507CS8#TRPBF?
The LT1507CS8#TRPBF delivers up to 1.25A continuous output current at 3.3V with VIN = 5V, based on thermal limits (θJA = 120°C/W) and internal 1.5A switch rating. Derating is required above 5V input or at elevated ambient temperatures-see the "Maximum Load Current" graphs in the official datasheet for precise derating curves.
Does the LT1507CS8#TRPBF require an external feedback resistor divider?
No. The LT1507CS8#TRPBF is the fixed 3.3V version: its FB/SENSE pin connects directly to the output and uses on-die resistors for regulation. External dividers are only needed for adjustable variants like LT1507CS8-ADJ. Using a divider with LT1507CS8#TRPBF will cause regulation error and instability.
Can the LT1507CS8#TRPBF be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes. The LT1507CS8#TRPBF supports external synchronization via its SYNC pin (Pin 5), accepting logic-level signals from 580kHz to 1MHz with 10–90% duty cycle. This allows EMI reduction through frequency dithering or alignment with system clocks-no additional components are required beyond the driving source.
What is the purpose of the BOOST pin on the LT1507CS8#TRPBF?
The BOOST pin (Pin 1) supplies an elevated voltage to the internal NPN switch driver, enabling saturation and reducing effective on-resistance to 0.3Ω. It requires an external flying capacitor (e.g., 3.3nF) and catch diode (e.g., 1N914); omitting this network degrades efficiency by ~15% and increases thermal stress on the LT1507CS8#TRPBF die.
How does the LT1507CS8#TRPBF handle short-circuit conditions?
The LT1507CS8#TRPBF employs dual protection: cycle-by-cycle current limiting (1.5A peak) plus foldback behavior. When SENSE voltage drops below 1.5V, peak current folds back; below 1V, switching frequency reduces ~5:1. This limits power dissipation in both the LT1507CS8#TRPBF and external components during sustained shorts-without requiring external current-sense resistors.
