Product details
Overview
LT1614IMS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an industrial-grade, fixed-frequency inverting switching regulator IC that generates negative output voltages down to –24V from input as low as 1V. It integrates a 500mA NPN power switch with 295mV VCE(SAT) at 500mA, features a 200mV low-battery detector, and delivers 600kHz switching for compact magnetics. It is used in GaAs FET bias, LCD bias, and positive-to-negative conversion circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LT1614IMS8#TRPBF datasheet, LT1614IMS8#TRPBF pinout, LT1614IMS8#TRPBF application, or LT1614IMS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include minimum input voltage (1V), feedback reference (–1.24V), shutdown current (<10µA), quiescent current (1mA), and MS8 package thermal resistance (θJA = 120°C/W).
Technical Context
The LT1614IMS8#TRPBF employs current-mode PWM control with a fixed 600kHz oscillator and a –1.24V internal reference, enabling precise regulation of negative outputs via external resistor divider on the NFB pin. Its error amplifier features 100V/V gain and 16µmhos transconductance, compensated externally via the VC pin using a series RC network (e.g., 100kΩ + 1nF).
It implements cycle-by-cycle switch current limiting (0.75–1.2A), supports duty cycles up to 80%, and includes integrated low-battery detection with 200mV threshold referenced to GND. The device operates across –40°C to +85°C and shuts down to <10µA when SHDN is grounded.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 1V to 6V - enables operation from single-cell LiFePO₄ or NiMH batteries without pre-regulation. |
| Output Polarity & Range | Inverting topology; output adjustable down to –24V - supports high-voltage bias rails for RF and display applications. |
| Switching Frequency | 500–750kHz (typ. 600kHz) - allows use of small 22µH inductors and ceramic capacitors, reducing board area and EMI filtering burden. |
| Internal Switch | NPN transistor rated 500mA, VCE(SAT) = 295mV @ 500mA - minimizes conduction loss and thermal rise in compact MSOP package. |
| Feedback Reference | –1.24V (±30mV) at NFB pin - provides stable setpoint for precision negative voltage regulation independent of temperature drift. |
| Quiescent Current | 1mA (no load) - ensures high light-load efficiency in battery-powered systems requiring long standby time. |
| Shutdown Current | <10µA - enables ultra-low-power system-level sleep modes without external disconnect circuitry. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including automotive under-hood auxiliary supplies and factory automation sensors. |
Pinout & Package
LT1614IMS8#TRPBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic MSOP (MS8) package with 0.65mm pitch, 3.0mm × 3.0mm body, and θJA = 120°C/W. Exposed pad is not present; thermal performance relies on PCB copper area connected to GND pin.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| NFB (Pin 1) | Negative Feedback Input | Connects to resistive divider tap; –1.24V reference sets output voltage: VOUT = –1.24V × (1 + R1/R2). |
| VC (Pin 2) | Error Amplifier Compensation | External RC network (e.g., 100kΩ + 1nF) stabilizes loop response; trace area must be minimized to reduce noise coupling. |
| SHDN (Pin 3) | Enable/Shutdown Control | Ground to disable (IQ < 10µA); tie to VIN or higher to enable; floating causes erratic behavior - must not be left unconnected. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Power Ground Reference | Primary return path for switch, feedback, and compensation currents; requires low-inductance connection to local ground plane. |
| SW (Pin 5) | Internal Switch Collector | High-slew-rate node; layout must minimize trace length/area to suppress EMI and prevent ground bounce. |
| VIN (Pin 6) | Input Supply | Requires 1µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed directly at pin; supports 1V–6V range with 0.3%/V line regulation above 2V. |
| LBI (Pin 7) | Low-Battery Detector Input | Compares external voltage to 200mV internal reference; bias current ≤30nA (–40°C to +85°C) enables high-impedance sensing. |
| LBO (Pin 8) | Low-Battery Output | Open-collector output sinking ≤10µA; requires 1MΩ pull-up; disabled during shutdown - used for host processor alert signaling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 600kHz switching frequency | Enables predictable EMI profile and consistent filter design; eliminates subharmonic oscillation via ramp generator. |
| Integrated 200mV low-battery detector | Provides system-level battery health monitoring without external comparators or references - reduces BOM count by one IC. |
| 0.1Ω effective output impedance | Delivers tight load regulation (e.g., –5V ±1% from 0–200mA) without external post-regulation, simplifying multi-rail designs. |
| –5V at 200mA from 5V input | Demonstrated in Figure 1 with >80% efficiency - validates suitability for powering analog front-ends and sensor bias networks. |
| MSOP-8 industrial temperature grade | Rated for –40°C to +85°C with guaranteed specs (not characterized only); supports deployment in uncontrolled ambient environments. |
| Low-noise inverting topology | Supports Cuk-derived configurations (Fig. 4) achieving <5mVP–P ripple with ceramic output caps - meets sensitive analog supply requirements. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar inverting switching regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1611IS5#TRMPBF | 5-lead SOT-23, 1.4MHz switching, lower max output current (150mA), no LBI/LBO pins. | Lacks low-battery monitoring; suited for cost-sensitive, low-current bias rails where footprint is critical. | Choose LT1611IS5#TRMPBF only if board space is constrained and battery monitoring is unnecessary. |
| LT1931ES5#TRMPBF | 5-lead SOT-23, 1.2MHz, 350mA output, 1mVP–P ripple spec, no LBI/LBO, different feedback polarity. | Optimized for ultra-low-noise analog supplies; lacks shutdown control and battery sense functionality. | Prefer LT1931ES5#TRMPBF when output ripple <1mVP–P is mandatory and system-level battery monitoring is handled elsewhere. |
Compared with LT1614IMS8#TRPBF, LT1611IS5#TRMPBF trades industrial temperature rating and integrated monitoring for smaller size and higher frequency, while LT1931ES5#TRMPBF prioritizes ripple performance over feature integration - making LT1614IMS8#TRPBF the balanced choice for industrial bias applications requiring reliability, monitoring, and moderate power.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LT1614IMS8#TRPBF to regulate a –5V output?
The LT1614IMS8#TRPBF guarantees operation down to 1V input across its full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). At 25°C, it can start regulation from as low as 0.92V. For reliable –5V output at full load, a minimum of 1.25V input is recommended per datasheet Figure G06 and Table specifications - below this, duty cycle limits and switch losses may impair regulation.
Does LT1614IMS8#TRPBF support synchronous rectification?
No, the LT1614IMS8#TRPBF does not support synchronous rectification. It uses an internal NPN power switch and requires an external Schottky diode (e.g., MBR0520) in the inverting topology. The datasheet explicitly specifies diode-based designs in Figures 1, 3, 4, and TA01–TA07, with no provision for gate drive signals or external MOSFET control.
Can LT1614IMS8#TRPBF be used in Cuk topology with coupled inductors?
Yes, the LT1614IMS8#TRPBF is explicitly validated for Cuk topology with coupled inductors, as shown in Figure 16 and described in Applications Information section. Coiltronics CTX10-1 and CTX33-2 are cited as compatible coupled inductors, and phasing alignment is emphasized as critical to avoid saturation and ensure proper energy transfer.
What is the maximum output current achievable with LT1614IMS8#TRPBF at –15V output?
At –15V output, the LT1614IMS8#TRPBF delivers up to 80mA continuously, as demonstrated in the 5V-to–15V/80mA reference design (Figure TA05). This limit arises from switch current capability (0.75–1.2A peak), duty cycle constraints, and thermal dissipation in the MS8 package - exceeding 80mA risks thermal shutdown or reduced efficiency due to increased conduction losses.
How does the low-battery detector in LT1614IMS8#TRPBF behave during shutdown?
The low-battery detector in LT1614IMS8#TRPBF is fully disabled when the SHDN pin is grounded. As stated in the Pin Functions section and Figure 13, LBO goes high-impedance and the internal comparator is powered down. No current flows into LBI, and LBO remains inactive - confirming that battery monitoring is suspended during shutdown to eliminate parasitic drain.
