Product details
Overview
LT1614IS8#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), operates at 600kHz, delivers 1mA quiescent current, and includes a 200mV low-battery detector. It is used in GaAs FET bias, LCD bias, and positive-to-negative conversion circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LT1614IS8#TRPBF datasheet, LT1614IS8#TRPBF pinout, LT1614IS8#TRPBF application, or LT1614IS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include minimum input voltage (1V), switching frequency (600kHz), output polarity (inverting), shutdown current (<10µA), and SO-8 package compatibility for space-constrained industrial power designs.
Technical Context
The LT1614IS8#TRPBF employs current-mode PWM control with a –1.24V internal reference and 600kHz oscillator to regulate negative outputs directly. Its error amplifier features 100V/V gain and 16µmhos transconductance, enabling stable loop compensation via external RC network on VC pin.
It implements cycle-by-cycle switch current limiting (0.75–1.2A), supports duty cycles up to 80%, and incorporates a dedicated low-battery detector with 180–220mV threshold and open-collector LBO output. The device shuts down to <10µA when SHDN is grounded and operates across –40°C to +85°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Topology | Inverting DC/DC converter - generates regulated negative output from positive input without external inverter stage |
| Switching Frequency | 600kHz (typical) - enables use of small 22µH inductors and ceramic output capacitors |
| Input Voltage Range | 1V to 6V - supports single-cell Li-ion, NiMH, or low-voltage logic rails |
| Output Voltage Range | Up to –24V - set by external resistor divider on NFB pin with –1.24V reference |
| Max Output Current | 200mA at –5V (from 5V input) - limited by 500mA internal NPN switch and thermal design |
| Quiescent Current | 1mA (active), <10µA (shutdown) - critical for battery-powered systems requiring long standby life |
| Low-Battery Threshold | 200mV ±20mV - provides accurate undervoltage detection with 1MΩ load gain of 1000V/V |
Pinout & Package
LT1614IS8#TRPBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SO (Small Outline) package, 0.150" wide, with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint and RoHS-compliant matte tin lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| NFB (Pin 1) | Negative feedback input | Connects to resistor divider tap; references –1.24V internal bandgap for output regulation |
| VC (Pin 2) | Error amplifier compensation | External RC network (e.g., 100kΩ + 1nF) sets loop stability and transient response |
| SHDN (Pin 3) | Shutdown control | Ground to disable; tie to VIN or higher to enable; floating causes erratic behavior |
| GND (Pin 4) | Power ground | Primary return path for switch, feedback, and compensation currents; must connect to local ground plane |
| SW (Pin 5) | Internal NPN switch collector | High-slew node; requires minimized trace area to reduce EMI and voltage spikes |
| VIN (Pin 6) | Input supply | Accepts 1V–6V; requires 1µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
| LBI (Pin 7) | Low-battery detector input | 200mV reference input; 5–30nA bias current; voltage range 0–700mV |
| LBO (Pin 8) | Low-battery detector output | Open-collector NPN; sinks 10µA; requires external 1MΩ pull-up; disabled during shutdown |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 600kHz operation | Ensures predictable EMI profile and eliminates low-frequency noise in sensitive analog subsystems |
| 1V minimum input voltage | Enables regulation from single alkaline/NiMH cells or partially discharged Li-ion batteries |
| 295mV VCE(SAT) @ 500mA | Reduces conduction loss and improves efficiency in high-current inverting topologies |
| Integrated low-battery detector | Provides system-level brown-out protection without external comparators or references |
| Current-mode PWM control | Delivers inherent cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection and stable operation across wide load ranges |

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#TRPBF | 5-lead SOT-23, 1.4MHz, –5V/150mA, lower IQ (800µA), no LBO/LBI | Lacks low-battery detection; suited for compact, cost-sensitive bias supplies without monitoring | Select when board space is critical and battery monitoring is unnecessary |
| LT1931ES5#TRPBF | 5-lead SOT-23, 1.2MHz, –5V/350mA, 1mVP–P ripple, integrated soft-start | Higher output current and lower ripple; no low-battery detector; different compensation scheme | Prefer for higher-current, low-noise applications where LBO functionality is not required |
Compared with LT1614IS8#TRPBF, LT1611IS5#TRPBF trades detection capability and SO-8 layout compatibility for smaller footprint and higher frequency, while LT1931ES5#TRPBF offers superior ripple performance and current capability but omits the integrated low-battery monitor essential for battery-fed systems.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LT1614IS8#TRPBF?
The LT1614IS8#TRPBF is rated for industrial operation from –40°C to +85°C. This extended temperature grade is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and Electrical Characteristics section, where parameters like LBI threshold voltage (180–220mV) and switching frequency (500–750kHz) are specified across the full –40°C to +85°C range with "G" designation.
Does the LT1614IS8#TRPBF support true shutdown mode with near-zero current draw?
Yes, the LT1614IS8#TRPBF draws less than 10µA in shutdown mode when the SHDN pin is grounded. This is verified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Quiescent Current" with VSHDN = 0V, and further confirmed in the Shutdown Pin section, which states the device "shuts down to less than 10µA."
Can the LT1614IS8#TRPBF generate –24V output, and what are the practical limitations?
Yes, the LT1614IS8#TRPBF can generate up to –24V output, as stated in the opening description and supported by the –1.24V feedback reference and external resistor divider configuration. Practical limitations include maximum duty cycle (80%), switch current limit (0.75–1.2A), and thermal dissipation in the SO-8 package - achievable output current decreases as |VOUT| increases.
What is the function of the LBO and LBI pins on the LT1614IS8#TRPBF?
The LBI (Pin 7) is the low-battery detector input referenced to an internal 200mV threshold; the LBO (Pin 8) is its open-collector output that sinks 10µA when triggered. As documented in the Pin Functions and Low-Battery Detector sections, LBO is disabled during shutdown, and both pins require external resistors only if used - floating LBI disables detection.
Is the LT1614IS8#TRPBF pin-compatible with other members of the LT161x family?
No, the LT1614IS8#TRPBF is not pin-compatible with other LT161x variants. The LT1611/LT1617 use 5-lead SOT-23 packages, while LT1614IS8#TRPBF uses 8-lead SO. Even the LT1614CS8 (commercial grade) shares the same SO-8 pinout but differs in temperature rating - the IS8 suffix denotes industrial grade, not pinout variation.
