Product details
Overview
LT1611CS5#TRPBF 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 0.14Ω effective output impedance, and achieves <1µA shutdown current. It replaces charge-pump solutions in low-noise bias generation for analog sensors and imaging circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LT1611CS5#TRPBF datasheet, LT1611CS5#TRPBF pinout, LT1611CS5#TRPBF application, or LT1611CS5#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-inductor inverting topology, –1.23V internal reference, 36V switch rating, 1mVP–P output ripple capability with ceramic output capacitors, and compatibility with compact 2mm-height magnetics.
Technical Context
The LT1611CS5#TRPBF implements a current-mode PWM architecture with internal slope compensation and a fixed 1.4MHz oscillator. Its dual-inductor Cuk-derived topology filters both input and output sides, enabling ultra-low noise operation without low-frequency beat components typical of charge pumps.
It features an internal –1.23V reference tied to the NFB pin, cycle-by-cycle switch current regulation, and automatic pulse-skipping at light loads. The 300mV VCE(SAT) at 300mA and 36V maximum SW voltage support wide VIN-to-VOUT differential operation up to 33V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Topology | Inverting Cuk converter - enables simultaneous input/output filtering and <1mVP–P ripple with proper layout and ceramic output caps |
| Switching Frequency | 1.4MHz (TYP) - allows use of 2mm-height inductors and sub-100nF ceramic timing/output capacitors |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±2.4% over temp - based on –1.23V ±2.5mV feedback reference, enabling stable negative rail regulation |
| Max Output Current | 150mA at –5V from 5V input - limited by 800mA switch current limit and thermal design in SOT-23 |
| Quiescent Current | 3mA no-load, 0.5µA in shutdown - supports battery-powered systems requiring long standby life |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.1V to 10V - enables single-cell Li-ion, 3.3V, and 5V system rail operation |
| Switch Rating | 36V max SW voltage - permits up to 33V VIN-to-VOUT differential, e.g., 36V input → –5V output |
Pinout & Package
LT1611CS5#TRPBF is housed in a 5-lead plastic SOT-23 (SC-74A) package, 2.8–3.0mm × 1.9mm × 1.1–1.3mm, with gull-wing leads and 0.95mm lead pitch. Thermal resistance θJA = 256°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pin 1) | Internal NPN switch collector | Carries high di/dt switching current; requires minimal trace area and direct connection to inductor L1A to reduce EMI |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power and signal ground reference | Must tie directly to local ground plane; serves as return for switch, feedback, and shutdown paths |
| NFB (Pin 3) | Negative feedback input | Accepts –1.23V reference voltage; connects to resistor divider tap for output voltage setting (e.g., R1=29.4kΩ, R2=10kΩ for –5V) |
| SHDN (Pin 4) | Active-low enable control | Drives device into <1µA shutdown when pulled ≤0.3V; requires ≥1V to enable; bias current <50µA at 3V |
| VIN (Pin 5) | Input supply connection | Supplies internal circuitry and switch base drive; must be locally bypassed with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 1.4MHz switching frequency | Enables consistent EMI profile and use of miniature 22µH coupled inductors (e.g., Sumida CLS62-220) under 2mm height |
| Dual-inductor inverting topology | Provides inherent input and output filtering - eliminates need for external LC filters in noise-sensitive applications like CCD bias |
| Internally compensated current-mode control | Removes need for external compensation network; supports stable operation with ceramic output capacitors down to 22µF |
| Low-noise 1mVP–P output ripple | Achievable with ceramic C3 (e.g., Taiyo Yuden JMK325BJ226MM) and proper layout - critical for MR head and GaAs FET bias rails |
| 36V switch voltage rating | Supports high-differential applications such as 12V input → –5V output (300mA) or 4-cell → –10V conversion |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar inverting DC/DC regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1614EMS8#PBF | MSOP-8 package; includes low-battery detector; 200mA output capability; same 1.4MHz frequency and –1.23V reference | Targeted at space-constrained industrial sensors requiring supply monitoring; larger footprint but higher current | Select LT1614EMS8#PBF when battery voltage supervision is required and MSOP-8 layout is acceptable |
| LT3467EDD#TRPBF | 3mm × 3mm DFN-10; 1.2MHz switching; integrated Schottky; 250mA output; requires external feedback resistors | Better suited for high-current portable audio codecs where board area is less constrained than height | Choose LT3467EDD#TRPBF when higher output current and integrated diode simplify BOM, and DFN thermal performance is needed |
Compared with LT1611CS5#TRPBF, LT1614EMS8#PBF adds system-level monitoring at the cost of larger package and higher quiescent current, while LT3467EDD#TRPBF trades SOT-23 compactness for higher current and integrated power stage - neither is pin-compatible, but both address overlapping negative rail generation needs with distinct trade-offs in size, integration, and feature set.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LT1611CS5#TRPBF to regulate –5V output?
The LT1611CS5#TRPBF requires a minimum input voltage of 1.1V to operate, but to sustain –5V output regulation at 150mA, the input must be ≥5V ±10%. At lower inputs (e.g., 3V), output current drops to 100mA for –5V. The 1.1V spec reflects start-up capability under light load, not full-load regulation.
Can LT1611CS5#TRPBF generate –10V output, and what design changes are needed?
Yes, LT1611CS5#TRPBF can generate –10V output using the dual-inductor topology. To achieve –10V/60mA from a 4-cell (6.5V) input, adjust the feedback divider (e.g., R1 = 68.1kΩ, R2 = 10kΩ) and use 15µH inductors (e.g., Sumida CL562-150). Input capacitor must be rated for ≥10V, and diode should handle peak reverse voltage ≥16V.
What is the purpose of the CPL capacitor in LT1611CS5#TRPBF applications?
The CPL capacitor (e.g., 1200pF) connects in parallel with R1 to add phase lead compensation. In LT1611CS5#TRPBF designs, it improves transient response - reducing load-step settling time from 150µs to 40µs - and enhances phase margin when using low-ESR ceramic output capacitors, preventing instability without increasing output ripple.
Does LT1611CS5#TRPBF require external compensation components?
No, LT1611CS5#TRPBF is internally compensated and requires no external compensation network. Its current-mode architecture with built-in ramp generator and RC/CC network ensures stability with standard output capacitor values (22µF tantalum or ceramic). Only optional CPL is used for transient optimization - not for basic loop stability.
How does LT1611CS5#TRPBF achieve 1mVP–P output ripple when datasheet shows 20mVP–P in Figure 10?
The 20mVP–P ripple in Figure 10 results from using a 22µF tantalum capacitor (ESR ≈ 1Ω). LT1611CS5#TRPBF achieves 1mVP–P by substituting a low-ESR ceramic capacitor (e.g., Taiyo Yuden JMK325BJ226MM, ESR ≈ 2mΩ) and implementing the recommended layout - especially the cut ground copper at D1's cathode - as shown in Figures 11–12.
