Product details
Overview
LT1683IG#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an ultralow-noise, slew-rate-controlled push-pull DC/DC controller IC for EMI-sensitive power conversion. It features independent voltage/current slew control (VSLEWR = 26 V/µs, VISLEWR = 0.21 V/µs), dual N-channel gate drivers, 20–250 kHz oscillator, and dual-regulation capability for ± outputs. Used in precision instrumentation and medical power supplies where conducted/radiated EMI must be minimized.
For engineers reviewing the LT1683IG#TRPBF datasheet, LT1683IG#TRPBF pinout, LT1683IG#TRPBF application, or LT1683IG#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include slew rate programmability via RVSL/RCSL, negative voltage regulation via NFB pin (–2.500 V reference), gate drive undervoltage lockout (VINUVLO = 7.5 V), soft-start current (ISS = 12 µA), and –40°C to 125°C industrial temperature grade.
Technical Context
The LT1683IG#TRPBF implements a fixed-frequency, current-mode push-pull architecture with dual error amplifiers-one for positive output regulation (FB, VREF = 1.250 V) and one for negative output regulation (NFB, VNFR = –2.500 V). Its slew control loops operate independently: voltage slew is set by RVSL and CAP A/B capacitors, while current slew is set by RCSL and the sense resistor RS.
Protection logic includes opposite-gate lockout (prevents cross-conduction), short-circuit fault response (CS ≥ 0.22 V discharges VC/SS), FB overvoltage shutdown (FBOV = 1.47 V), and gate drive UVLO tied to GCL pin voltage. The internal 5 V regulator (V5 = 5.00 V, ±5 mA) powers external circuitry and requires VIN ≥ 6.5 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Temp Range | –40°C to 125°C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded power systems. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 20 kHz to 250 kHz - adjustable via RT/CT; supports synchronization to external clock up to 290 kHz. |
| Voltage Slew Rate | 26 V/µs rising, 19 V/µs falling - programmable via RVSL; reduces high-frequency harmonic content by up to 40 dB. |
| Current Slew Rate | 0.21 V/µs on CS pin - set by RCSL; enables controlled di/dt to suppress radiated EMI without major efficiency loss. |
| Reference Voltage (FB) | 1.250 V ±15 mV - precise bandgap reference enabling <±1% output regulation accuracy with proper feedback divider. |
| Negative Ref (NFB) | –2.500 V ±50 mV - allows direct regulation of negative rails without external op-amps or level-shifting circuitry. |
| Gate Drive Capability | ≥300 mA sink/source per driver - drives N-MOSFET gates directly; VGON = 10.4 V, VGOFF = 0.35 V at VIN = 12 V. |
| Soft-Start Current | 12 µA typical - charges external SS capacitor linearly to ramp peak switch current and prevent inrush. |

| V5 (5) | On-chip 5 V regulator output | Supplies 10 mA (source/sink); requires VIN ≥ 6.5 V; bypass with <1 µF capacitor if used. |
| SYNC (6) | External clock synchronization input | Accepts TTL/CMOS clock; locks oscillator phase to reduce spectral spreading of harmonics. |
| CT (7) | Oscillator timing capacitor connection | With RT, sets fOSC; COSC = 129 / fOSC(kHz) nF (e.g., 517 pF for 250 kHz). |
| RT (8) | Oscillator timing resistor connection | Sets oscillator charge/discharge current; nominal 16.9 kΩ; ±25% trim for frequency accuracy. |
| FB (9) | Positive output voltage feedback input | Inverting input to transconductance error amp; referenced to 1.250 V; enables ±1% regulation. |
| NFB (10) | Negative output voltage feedback input | Connects to inverting input of dedicated negative-feedback amp; regulates to –2.500 V. |
| GND (11) | Signal ground reference | Reference for error amps, oscillator, V5, bandgap; must be isolated from high-current PGND paths. |

| SHDN (14) | Shutdown enable input | Active-high; turn-on threshold 1.39 V; 110 mV hysteresis; sources 24 µA above threshold for external hysteresis. |
| RCSL (15) | Current slew rate programming resistor | Resistor to GND sets dI/dt slew; 3.3 kΩ–68 kΩ range; determines time constant with RS and load current. |
| RVSL (16) | Voltage slew rate programming resistor | Resistor to GND sets dV/dt slew; same 3.3 kΩ–68 kΩ range; works with CAP A/B capacitance. |
| VIN (17) | Main supply input | Powers all internal circuitry including gate drivers and V5; absolute max 20 V; UVLO at 7.5 V. |
| CAP B (18) | Second voltage slew feedback node | Matches CAP A for second MOSFET drain; enables symmetric slew control in push-pull topology. |
| GATE B (19) | Low-side N-MOSFET gate driver output | Complementary to GATE A; toggles on alternate oscillator cycles; prevents shoot-through with lockout. |
| PGND (20) | Power ground return | Carries gate drive return current (hundreds of mA pulses); must be routed separately from signal GND. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DC/DC controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3891EFE#PBF | Single-output, high-voltage (60 V) synchronous buck controller; no slew control; no NFB capability. | Best for high-input-voltage step-down only; lacks dual-polarity regulation and EMI-slew features. | Choose LTC3891EFE#PBF when input > 40 V and noise requirements are moderate; avoid for ± rail or strict EMI targets. |
| LM5116MH/NOPB | Wide-input (6–100 V) synchronous buck controller; no slew rate control; no negative regulation; no SYNC pin. | Targeted at automotive and industrial high-VIN buck; no support for push-pull or isolated topologies. | Choose LM5116MH/NOPB for cost-sensitive, high-VIN non-isolated designs where EMI is managed externally. |

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for LT1683IG#TRPBF?
The absolute maximum supply voltage (VIN) for LT1683IG#TRPBF is 20 V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation above this voltage risks permanent damage. For reliable long-term function, VIN should remain ≤18 V under transient conditions, and the gate drive undervoltage lockout activates below 7.5 V to prevent erratic switching.
How does the LT1683IG#TRPBF regulate negative output voltages?
The LT1683IG#TRPBF regulates negative outputs using its dedicated NFB pin, which connects to the inverting input of an internal amplifier with –0.5 gain. This causes the NFB pin to regulate at –2.500 V (typical), while the amplifier drives the FB pin to 1.250 V internally-enabling closed-loop control without external op-amps or level shifters.
Can LT1683IG#TRPBF be used in a non-isolated buck configuration?
Yes, LT1683IG#TRPBF can be used in non-isolated buck configurations, but it is optimized for push-pull and transformer-coupled topologies. In buck mode, only GATE A or GATE B is used, requiring external logic to disable the unused driver; slew control remains fully functional via CAP A/B and RVSL/RCSL.
What is the purpose of the GCL pin on LT1683IG#TRPBF?
The GCL pin on LT1683IG#TRPBF serves two critical functions: (1) it sets the maximum gate drive voltage (≈VGCL – 0.2 V when tied to Zener), protecting MOSFET gates; and (2) it enables gate drive undervoltage lockout-ensuring drivers remain off until VIN exceeds VGCL + 0.8 V during startup.
Does LT1683IG#TRPBF support synchronization to external clocks?
Yes, LT1683IG#TRPBF supports synchronization via its SYNC pin, which accepts TTL/CMOS-level clocks from 290 kHz down to match the internal oscillator frequency. This allows precise placement of switching harmonics to avoid sensitive frequency bands-critical for EMI compliance in communication and instrumentation systems.
