Product details
Overview
LT1619EMS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a fixed-frequency current-mode PWM controller for low-side N-channel MOSFET–driven DC/DC converters, supporting boost, SEPIC, and flyback topologies. It operates from 1.9V to 18V input, features a 300kHz internal oscillator, 53mV current-sense threshold, 1A rail-to-rail gate driver, and Burst Mode operation for light-load efficiency in battery-powered and distributed power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LT1619EMS8#PBF datasheet, LT1619EMS8#PBF pinout, LT1619EMS8#PBF application, or LT1619EMS8#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 1.9V minimum start-up voltage, bootstrapped/nonbootstrapped DRV pin flexibility, leading-edge blanking for noise immunity, internal current sense amplifier, and synchronization capability up to 500kHz.
Technical Context
The LT1619EMS8#PBF implements peak-current-mode control with an internal 300kHz oscillator, slope compensation derived from the timing ramp, and a dedicated current-limit comparator independent of duty cycle. Its error amplifier (transconductance: 80–260 µ℧⁻¹) drives the VC pin to regulate peak switch current, while the SENSE pin accepts up to 53mV before limiting-enabling precise overcurrent protection across temperature.
Operation includes three distinct modes: continuous switching (CCM/DCM), idle mode (140µA quiescent), and Burst Mode (10mV effective limit, ~15µA avg. supply). The S/S pin serves dual function-shutdown (active-low, 0.45V threshold, 12–33µs delay) and external synchronization (pulse amplitude ≥1V, rise time ≤530ns at 3V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 1.9V to 18V - supports single-cell Li-ion, multi-cell alkaline, and intermediate bus rails without external LDO. |
| Switching Frequency | 300kHz fixed (±80kHz over temp) - balances EMI, size, and efficiency; externally synchronizable to 500kHz. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 53mV (typ), 40–66mV (min/max) - sets maximum switch current as ISW(MAX) = 53mV / RSENSE, enabling accurate overcurrent protection. |
| Gate Driver Output | ±1.5A peak, rail-to-rail - drives N-MOSFETs up to 60nC Qg; supports bootstrapped (DRV tied to VOUT) or nonbootstrapped (DRV = VIN) operation. |
| Quiescent Current | 140µA (typ) in idle mode - extends battery life in standby; drops to 15µA in shutdown. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.24V (typ), ±2% over temp - sets output voltage via FB divider: VOUT = 1.24V × (1 + R1/R2). |
| UVLO Threshold | 1.65–1.85V - prevents erratic startup below valid operating range; hysteresis enabled via external circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
The LT1619EMS8#PBF is housed in an 8-lead MSOP package (3mm × 3mm, 0.65mm pitch), thermally enhanced with exposed pad (not electrically connected). Pin 1 is marked with a dot; pin numbering follows standard MS8 counterclockwise orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| S/S (Pin 1) | Shutdown/Synchronization Input | Active-low shutdown (0.45V threshold); accepts external sync pulses ≥1V to force oscillator reset. |
| FB (Pin 2) | Error Amplifier Inverting Input | Connects to resistor divider tap; regulates output by comparing feedback to 1.24V reference. |
| VC (Pin 3) | Error Amplifier Output | Drives compensation network; voltage level directly controls peak switch current and load regulation. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Analog/Digital Ground | Primary return path for sense, feedback, and bias currents; must connect to local ground plane. |
| SENSE (Pin 5) | Current Sense Input | Connects to source of low-side N-MOSFET and RSENSE; internal 280ns leading-edge blanking rejects gate-charge transients. |
| GATE (Pin 6) | MOSFET Gate Driver Output | Drives external N-MOSFET gate; capable of ±1.5A peak, with 30ns rise/35ns fall into 3.3nF load. |
| DRV (Pin 7) | Driver Supply Rail | Provides pull-up for GATE; tied to VIN for nonbootstrapped operation or to VOUT for enhanced gate drive in low-VIN boost. |
| VIN (Pin 8) | Main Power Input | Supplies internal bias circuits; requires local 0.1µF ceramic bypass to GND; absolute max 20V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Burst Mode Operation | Reduces light-load quiescent current to ~15µA average by gating full switching cycles-critical for >100-hour battery life in IoT sensors. |
| Internal Leading-Edge Blanking | 280ns blanking window on SENSE pin eliminates false triggering from MOSFET gate-charge spikes-enables reliable current sensing with low-RSENSE. |
| Rail-to-Rail N-Channel Driver | Delivers ±1.5A peak into capacitive loads while maintaining <350mV high-side drop and <100mV low-side saturation-supports fast, efficient MOSFET switching. |
| External Synchronization | Accepts TTL/CMOS sync pulses up to 500kHz-enables EMI reduction via frequency dithering or system-level clock alignment. |
| Wide Input Range with UVLO | Operates down to 1.9V input and includes undervoltage lockout (1.65–1.85V) - ensures clean startup in brownout conditions without external supervision. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PWM controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX17595ATP+T | Higher 4.5–60V input range; integrated high-side gate driver; no Burst Mode; 600kHz max frequency. | Designed for industrial/high-voltage boost/flyback; lacks low-VIN capability and ultra-low quiescent current. | Choose MAX17595ATP+T when input exceeds 18V or high-side drive is required; avoid for sub-2V start-up or battery longevity focus. |
| TPS40210DGQ | 2.25–5.5V input only; external current-sense amplifier; no internal reference; 1MHz max frequency. | Targeted at low-input, high-frequency point-of-load; requires external 1.24V reference and compensation components. | Choose TPS40210DGQ for compact 3.3V-input designs needing >500kHz; avoid when wide VIN or integrated reference is needed. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LT1619EMS8#PBF to start switching?
The LT1619EMS8#PBF guarantees startup at 1.85V input, with undervoltage lockout (UVLO) releasing between 1.65V and 1.85V. Below 1.65V, the device remains latched off; above 1.85V, it initiates normal operation. This makes LT1619EMS8#PBF suitable for single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V) and multi-cell alkaline (3–9V) systems where low-VIN reliability is essential.
Can LT1619EMS8#PBF drive a high-side N-channel MOSFET?
No, the LT1619EMS8#PBF is specifically designed to drive low-side N-channel MOSFETs only. Its gate driver architecture lacks a high-side floating supply or level-shifting capability. Attempting high-side drive would result in insufficient gate-source voltage and unreliable switching. For high-side configurations, use a dedicated high-side driver or a controller like the LT3757.
How does the SENSE pin's leading-edge blanking work in LT1619EMS8#PBF?
The LT1619EMS8#PBF disables the current sense amplifier for 280ns immediately after GATE turns on, blocking gate-charge-induced voltage spikes across RSENSE. This blanking window is fixed and internal-no external components required. It ensures accurate current measurement begins only after turn-on transients settle, preventing premature current-limit triggering in noisy layouts.
What is the purpose of the DRV pin on LT1619EMS8#PBF, and how should it be connected?
The DRV pin supplies the upper rail for the GATE driver. For nonbootstrapped operation (e.g., VIN ≥ 5V), tie DRV directly to VIN. For bootstrapped operation (e.g., 3.3V-to-5V boost), connect DRV to VOUT to increase gate drive voltage and ensure full MOSFET enhancement. Incorrect DRV connection causes weak drive, excessive conduction loss, or thermal runaway.
Does LT1619EMS8#PBF support external frequency synchronization, and what are the requirements?
Yes, LT1619EMS8#PBF supports external synchronization via the S/S pin. Drive S/S with pulses ≥1V amplitude; maximum allowable rise time is 530ns at 3V (per Table 1 in datasheet). Synchronization range is 370–500kHz. The internal oscillator is forced to reset on each rising edge-enabling EMI reduction and system clock alignment without modifying the LT1619EMS8#PBF's internal timing components.
