Product details
Overview
LT1533IS#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an ultralow-noise, dual-output, current-mode switching regulator IC designed for EMI-sensitive applications. It integrates two 1A power switches, independently programmable voltage and current slew rates (11 V/µs rising, 14.5 V/µs falling), 20–250 kHz oscillator, and dual-polarity regulation capability (±1.25 V reference for FB, –2.5 V for NFB). It is used in precision instrumentation power supplies where sub-100 µVP-P output noise is required.
For engineers reviewing the LT1533IS#PBF datasheet, LT1533IS#PBF pinout, LT1533IS#PBF application, or LT1533IS#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its independent slew rate control via RVSL/RCSL pins, dual-phase push-pull topology support, ±40°C to +100°C operating temperature range, and ability to regulate both positive and negative outputs simultaneously using FB and NFB pins.
Technical Context
The LT1533IS#PBF employs a fixed-frequency, current-mode architecture with internal slope compensation for stability at high duty cycles. Its dual out-of-phase 1A switches drive push-pull transformer topologies, while the error amplifier (transconductance gm = 1.5 m℧ typ) regulates by controlling switch current trip points rather than voltage.
Slew control is implemented via two independent feedback loops-one for collector voltage dV/dt (set by RVSL), another for emitter current dI/dt (set by RCSL)-combined internally to ensure smooth transition between modes. The VC pin serves triple duty: loop compensation node, current limit adjustment point, and soft-start interface.
Key Specifications

| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 23 V - supports wide industrial input rails including 3.3 V, 5 V, 12 V, and 24 V systems without external regulators. |
| Switch Current Limit | 1.25 A max - ensures robust 1A continuous operation with margin for transient overload and thermal derating. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 20 kHz to 250 kHz - user-adjustable via RT/CT; enables harmonic placement control and low-frequency filtering for noise-sensitive circuits. |
| Output Noise | <100 µVP-P (BW = 100 MHz) - measured at 12 V output; confirms suitability for high-resolution ADC/DAC reference supplies. |
| Shutdown Current | 12 µA typical - enables battery-powered portable instrumentation with multi-week standby life. |
| Reference Voltage | +1.25 V (FB), –2.5 V (NFB) - allows direct regulation of dual-polarity outputs without external op-amps or level-shifting networks. |

| Current Slew Rate | 1.3 A/µs (both edges) - set by RCSL; minimizes di/dt-induced EMI while maintaining efficiency within 3% of fast-slew operation. |
Pinout & Package
LT1533IS#PBF is housed in a 16-pin narrow SOIC (S package) with exposed pad not present; thermal resistance θJA = 100°C/W. Pin 9 (GND) is signal ground; Pin 16 (PGND) is power switch ground with recommended 25 nH trace inductance for slew loop stability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| COL A (Pin 2) | Collector of Switch A | Drives first half of push-pull transformer primary; alternates conduction with COL B; requires short PCB traces to minimize radiated EMI. |
| COL B (Pin 15) | Collector of Switch B | Drives second half of push-pull transformer primary; 180° out-of-phase with COL A; may be paralleled for boost mode. |
| FB (Pin 7) | Positive Feedback Input | Inverting input of transconductance error amp referenced to 1.25 V internal bandgap; sets positive output voltage via resistor divider. |
| NFB (Pin 8) | Negative Feedback Input | Inverting input of dedicated negative-feedback amplifier (gain = –0.5); regulates negative output to –2.5 V; includes 100 kΩ internal source resistor. |
| VC (Pin 10) | Error Amplifier Output | Integrates FB/NFB errors; sets switch current trip point; connects to RC compensation network; clamped externally for current limiting or soft-start. |
| RVSL (Pin 13) | Voltage Slew Control | Resistor-to-ground sets collector voltage slew rate (VSLEW ≈ 220/RVSL kΩ V/µs); enables precise EMI harmonic shaping. |
| RCSL (Pin 12) | Current Slew Control | Resistor-to-ground sets emitter current slew rate (ISLEW ≈ 33/RCSL kΩ A/µs); decouples di/dt noise from dv/dt noise optimization. |
| DUTY (Pin 3) | 50% Duty Cycle Override | Grounding forces fixed 50% duty cycle at half oscillator frequency; simplifies unregulated DC transformer designs. |
| SYNC (Pin 4) | External Clock Input | Accepts square wave ≥1.4 V; rising edge triggers oscillator discharge; enables deterministic harmonic placement for EMC compliance. |
| SHDN (Pin 11) | Shutdown Control | Logic-low disables all internal circuitry; reduces supply current to 12 µA; compatible with microcontroller GPIO or system power sequencer. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output, low-EMI switching regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3891EFE#PBF | Higher input voltage (4–60 V), integrated MOSFET drivers, no independent slew control; 150 kHz fixed freq. | Targets automotive 12 V/24 V systems; lacks NFB pin for direct negative regulation. | Choose when input exceeds 23 V or when external FETs are undesirable; avoid if dual-polarity regulation or EMI tuning is required. |
| TPS54202DDCR | Single-output, 2 A, 4.5–17 V input; no slew control, no negative regulation; 500 kHz sync-capable oscillator. | Optimized for compact DC/DC conversion in space-constrained digital systems-not suitable for bipolar analog supplies. | Use only for unipolar, high-density applications; cannot replace LT1533IS#PBF in dual-rail or EMI-critical roles. |

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the LT1533IS#PBF?
The LT1533IS#PBF has a maximum junction temperature of 125°C and is specified for operation from –40°C to +100°C ambient (I-grade). Thermal shutdown activates before reaching 125°C to prevent damage. The 16-pin SOIC package has θJA = 100°C/W, so at 429 mW dissipation (typical 10 V/0.4 A application), junction temperature rises ~43°C above ambient-well within safe limits at 70°C ambient.
Can the LT1533IS#PBF regulate both positive and negative outputs simultaneously?
Yes, the LT1533IS#PBF can regulate both polarities simultaneously using the FB pin (for +VOUT referenced to GND) and NFB pin (for –VOUT referenced to GND). When both are active, the IC prevents either rail from exceeding its setpoint; the highest-loaded output dominates control. This enables true dual-rail supplies for op-amps and ADCs without external regulators-though load regulation symmetry is slightly compromised.
How does slew rate programming reduce EMI in the LT1533IS#PBF?
The LT1533IS#PBF reduces EMI by independently programming voltage slew (via RVSL) and current slew (via RCSL) to suppress high-frequency harmonic content. Slower edges lower dv/dt and di/dt, directly attenuating conducted and radiated emissions-measured at up to 40 dB reduction in harmonic power. This eliminates reliance on external filters or shielding in sensitive applications like medical imaging or precision metrology.
What is the function of the DUTY pin on the LT1533IS#PBF?
The DUTY pin on the LT1533IS#PBF forces a fixed 50% duty cycle when grounded, overriding normal current-mode control. In this mode, both switches operate at half the oscillator frequency in strict alternation-ideal for unregulated push-pull transformer applications where precise voltage regulation is unnecessary but waveform symmetry is critical for core reset and low distortion.
Does the LT1533IS#PBF support synchronization to an external clock?
Yes, the LT1533IS#PBF supports external clock synchronization via the SYNC pin. A square wave ≥1.4 V applied to SYNC causes the internal oscillator to discharge on each rising edge, locking switching harmonics to the external source. This enables deterministic EMI placement-essential for avoiding interference with RF receivers, high-speed serial links, or time-sensitive measurement systems using the LT1533IS#PBF.
