Product details
Overview
LT1611CS5#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a current-mode, fixed-frequency inverting DC/DC switching regulator in a 5-lead SOT-23 package. It generates –5V at 150mA from a 5V input, operates down to 1.1V input, switches at 1.4MHz, delivers <1µA shutdown current, and achieves 1mVP–P output ripple with proper layout and ceramic output capacitors.
For engineers reviewing the LT1611CS5#TRMPBF datasheet, LT1611CS5#TRMPBF pinout, LT1611CS5#TRMPBF application, or LT1611CS5#TRMPBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world performance boundaries, validated pin functions, confirmed alternative options for negative-bias generation, and supply-chain support details specific to this SOT-23 inverting regulator.
Technical Context
The LT1611CS5#TRMPBF implements a dual-inductor Cuk-derived inverting topology that filters both input and output sides, enabling low-noise negative voltage generation without charge pump artifacts. Its internal 1.4MHz oscillator drives a current-mode PWM control loop referenced to a precise –1.23V feedback threshold, with built-in slope compensation to maintain stability above 50% duty cycle.
It integrates a 36V-rated NPN switch with 300mV VCESAT at 300mA, supports VIN-to-VOUT differentials up to 33V, and features internally compensated loop dynamics-requiring only external R1/R2 feedback resistors and optional CPL phase-lead capacitor for transient optimization.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Topology | Inverting Cuk converter: enables ultra-low output ripple and clean input current waveform vs. charge pumps. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.4MHz (typ): permits use of sub-3mm-height inductors and small ceramic capacitors, minimizing board area. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±2.5% over temp: based on –1.23V ±25mV reference, enabling stable –5V regulation across 0°C to 70°C. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA at –5V from 5V input: limited by 800mA switch current limit and thermal design in SOT-23. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA (max at VIN = 5V): ensures battery-powered systems retain >99.9% standby energy efficiency. |
| Output Ripple | 1mVP–P (measured): achievable with 22µF ceramic output cap (ESR ≈ 2mΩ) and optimized PCB layout. |
| Min Input Voltage | 1.1V (typ): supports single-cell Li-ion or NiMH operation with headroom for voltage sag. |
Pinout & Package
LT1611CS5#TRMPBF is housed in a 5-lead plastic SOT-23 package (JEDEC MO-178AA, EIAJ SC-74A), measuring 2.80–3.00 mm × 1.90 mm × 1.15 mm, with gull-wing leads and 0.95 mm lead pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pin 1) | Internal Switch Collector | Connects to inductor L1A; high dI/dt node requiring minimal trace area and direct ground return path for EMI control. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power Ground Reference | Primary ground return for switch, feedback amplifier, and oscillator; must tie directly to local ground plane. |
| NFB (Pin 3) | Negative Feedback Input | Senses –1.23V reference point; connects to resistor divider (R1/R2) from VOUT to set regulated output voltage. |
| SHDN (Pin 4) | Active-Low Enable Control | Drives device into <1µA shutdown when pulled ≤0.3V; requires ≥1V to enable normal operation. |
| VIN (Pin 5) | Input Supply Rail | Accepts 1.1V to 10V; must be locally bypassed with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 1.4MHz switching | Enables use of 22µH inductors ≤2mm height and 1µF–22µF ceramic capacitors, reducing solution size to <0.25 in². |
| –1.23V precision feedback reference | Allows accurate negative output setting (e.g., –5V ±2.5%) without external reference IC or trimming. |
| Internally compensated control loop | Eliminates need for external compensation network; only R1/R2 and optional CPL required for stable operation. |
| Low-noise Cuk topology | Delivers 1mVP–P output ripple (vs. typical 20–50mVP–P in boost-based inverters) due to continuous output inductor current. |
| 36V switch rating | Supports VIN-to-VOUT differential up to 33V, enabling –10V generation from 4-cell (6.5V) inputs or higher-voltage bias rails. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar inverting regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1614EMS8#TRPBF | MSOP-8 package; includes integrated low-battery detector; 200mA output capability; same 1.4MHz frequency. | Requires larger footprint and additional BOD circuitry; better suited for battery-monitoring systems needing undervoltage warning. | Select LT1614EMS8#TRPBF when board space allows MSOP-8 and system-level battery health monitoring is required. |
| LT1617ES5#TRMPBF | SOT-23-5 package; micropower design (20µA IQ); supports VOUT down to –34V; lower max output current (50mA at –5V). | Optimized for ultra-low-power, high-voltage negative bias (e.g., photomultiplier tubes); not suitable for 150mA loads. | Choose LT1617ES5#TRMPBF only for applications demanding <25µA quiescent current and output voltages beyond –10V. |
Compared with LT1611CS5#TRMPBF, LT1614EMS8#TRPBF offers higher output current and system monitoring but increases PCB area, while LT1617ES5#TRMPBF trades current capability for extreme low-power operation and extended voltage range-neither is pin-compatible, and both require layout revision.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LT1611CS5#TRMPBF?
The absolute maximum VIN rating for LT1611CS5#TRMPBF is 10V. Exceeding this voltage risks permanent damage to the internal switch and control circuitry. While the SW pin tolerates up to 36V, the VIN pin itself must remain ≤10V per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. For higher input differentials, external circuitry must ensure VIN stays within specification.
Can LT1611CS5#TRMPBF generate –10V output?
Yes, LT1611CS5#TRMPBF can generate –10V output-for example, from a 6.5V input-as demonstrated in Typical Application TA04. This requires adjusting the R1/R2 feedback divider to set –10V at the NFB pin (–1.23V), using appropriate inductors rated for higher peak current, and verifying thermal limits under 60mA load conditions.
Does LT1611CS5#TRMPBF require external compensation components?
No, LT1611CS5#TRMPBF is internally compensated. The control loop uses integrated RC and CC elements, so no external compensation network is needed. Only the R1/R2 feedback resistors and optionally a phase-lead capacitor (CPL) across R1 are required for stability and transient optimization.
What is the typical startup time for LT1611CS5#TRMPBF?
LT1611CS5#TRMPBF reaches final output voltage in approximately 450µs after SHDN is pulled high, assuming COUT = 22µF, VIN = 5V, and VOUT = –5V. With optional soft-start (RSS/CSS network), ramp time extends to 700µs or 2.1ms to limit inrush current, as shown in Figures 15 and 16 of the datasheet.
Which output capacitor type delivers lowest ripple with LT1611CS5#TRMPBF?
A 22µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor (e.g., Taiyo Yuden JMK325BJ226MM) delivers the lowest ripple-down to 1mVP–P-with LT1611CS5#TRMPBF. This requires proper PCB layout (cut ground copper at D1 cathode) and use of low-ESR (<5mΩ) ceramics; tantalum caps yield ~20mVP–P due to higher ESR.
