Product details
Overview
LT1576IS8-5#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a fixed 5V, 1.25A monolithic step-down switching regulator in fused-lead SO-8 package. It features 200kHz constant-frequency current-mode control, 0.2Ω switch on-resistance, 1.21V internal reference, and integrated shutdown with 20µA quiescent current. Designed for battery-powered systems requiring stable 5V rail generation from 6V–25V input.
For engineers reviewing the LT1576IS8-5#TRPBF datasheet, LT1576IS8-5#TRPBF pinout, LT1576IS8-5#TRPBF application, or LT1576IS8-5#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include fixed 5V output accuracy (±2%), thermal performance enabled by fused ground lead, cycle-by-cycle current limiting, and compatibility with standard surface-mount magnetics and capacitors.
Technical Context
The LT1576IS8-5#TRPBF implements current-mode control with an internal 1.21V reference and dedicated SENSE pin (replacing FB) for direct 5V output monitoring. Its 200kHz oscillator enables predictable EMI filtering and supports synchronization up to 400kHz via SYNC pin on variant parts - though LT1576IS8-5#TRPBF uses SHDN on Pin 8 instead.
It employs a saturating NPN power switch driven by a BOOST capacitor to achieve low conduction loss (0.2Ω typical), while slope compensation prevents subharmonic oscillation above 50% duty cycle. The fused SO-8 package reduces θJA to 80°C/W when connected to a ground plane, extending ambient operating range to –40°C to 125°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±2% (SENSE pin monitors output directly; no external divider required) |
| Max Output Current | 1.25A continuous at VIN = 10V, L = 33µH; derates to ≤0.94A at VIN = 15V due to peak switch current limit |
| Switching Frequency | 200kHz nominal (180–220kHz over temp); enables compact LC filter design with minimal EMI spread |
| Input Voltage Range | 6V to 25V; minimum start-up voltage is 5.5V (guaranteed regulation at ≥5.0V under load) |
| Switch On Resistance | 0.2Ω typical at ISW = 1.5A; reduces conduction loss and improves efficiency >88% at mid-load |
| Shutdown Current | 20µA max (VSHDN = 0V); enables ultra-low-power sleep mode in portable systems |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 80°C/W with fused GND pin connected to PCB ground plane; extends usable ambient range |
Pinout & Package
Fused-lead 8-pin plastic SOIC (SO-8) package with exposed fused ground lead for enhanced thermal dissipation. Pin 4 (GND) is internally bonded to a dedicated low-thermal-resistance path to the package substrate.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VSW (Pin 1) | Switch emitter | Drives inductor; clamped externally by catch diode; negative swing limited to –0.8V |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Power switch collector & bias source | Supplies internal circuitry; high dI/dt node requiring local bypass capacitor placement |
| BOOST (Pin 3) | Bootstrap drive voltage input | Enables NPN saturation via external capacitor/diode; reduces switch VCE(sat) to ~0.3V |
| GND (Pin 4) | Reference and thermal ground | Fused lead lowers θJA; must be tied directly to ground plane for optimal thermal and load regulation |
| BIAS (Pin 5) | Efficiency-boosting auxiliary supply | Connect to regulated 5V output to reduce total input current by ~10% at high VIN/light load |
| VC (Pin 6) | Error amplifier output / current limit comparator input | Used for loop compensation; also serves as current clamp point during overload foldback |
| SENSE (Pin 7) | Fixed-output voltage monitor | Replaces FB on -5 variants; connects directly to 5V output; triggers foldback if <0.7V |
| SHDN (Pin 8) | Shutdown control | Two-threshold logic: 2.42V UVLO disable, 0.37V micropower shutdown (20µA IQ) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 5V output with SENSE pin | Eliminates external resistor divider; improves accuracy and reduces BOM count |
| Saturating NPN switch with BOOST | 0.2Ω RON enables >88% efficiency without MOSFET-level gate drive complexity |
| Current-mode control with slope compensation | Stable operation up to 90% duty cycle; prevents subharmonic oscillation in continuous conduction mode |
| Fused SO-8 thermal design | θJA = 80°C/W with ground plane - 30% lower than standard SO-8, enabling higher ambient operation |
| Cycle-by-cycle current limiting | 1.5A peak switch current limit (derated above 50% duty cycle) protects IC and external components during overload |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the LT1576IS8-5#TRPBF?
The LT1576IS8-5#TRPBF provides a fixed 5.0V output with ±2% tolerance over temperature and line conditions. This specification is guaranteed by internal trimming of the SENSE pin threshold (4.94V to 5.06V) and applies across the full –40°C to 125°C junction temperature range and 6V–25V input voltage range.
Does the LT1576IS8-5#TRPBF require an external BOOST capacitor?
Yes, the LT1576IS8-5#TRPBF requires an external BOOST capacitor (typically 100pF) connected between BOOST and VIN pins. This capacitor enables the internal NPN switch to saturate, reducing conduction loss and achieving the specified 0.2Ω on-resistance and >88% efficiency.
Can the LT1576IS8-5#TRPBF operate with input voltage below 6V?
No - the absolute minimum input voltage for guaranteed regulation is 5.5V, and the recommended minimum operating input is 6V. Below this, internal bias lines may not regulate properly, causing reference voltage drift and potential loss of regulation. The LT1576IS8-5#TRPBF is not rated for 5V input operation.
How does the SENSE pin function differ from the FB pin on adjustable variants?
On the LT1576IS8-5#TRPBF, Pin 7 is SENSE - not FB - and connects directly to the 5V output. It replaces the external resistor divider used on adjustable versions. When SENSE drops below 0.7V, the device initiates frequency and current foldback to protect against short-circuit conditions, a behavior not present on FB-based variants.
What is the maximum allowable inductor value for the LT1576IS8-5#TRPBF?
The LT1576IS8-5#TRPBF supports inductors up to 60µH for improved load current capability and reduced ripple. At 60µH, maximum output current increases to ~1.25A at VIN = 10V, but physical size and core loss must be balanced - data sheet graphs confirm diminishing returns beyond 60µH for typical 5V applications.
