Product details
Overview
LT1765EFE-3.3#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic 3A, 1.25MHz current-mode step-down switching regulator with fixed 3.3V output, integrated 0.09Ω NPN power switch, and thermally enhanced 16-lead TSSOP package. It operates from 3V to 25V input, delivers up to 2.5A continuous output, and features 15μA shutdown current - ideal for compact, high-efficiency DC/DC conversion in portable computers and battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT1765EFE-3.3#PBF datasheet, LT1765EFE-3.3#PBF pinout, LT1765EFE-3.3#PBF application, or LT1765EFE-3.3#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 3.3V output accuracy (±2%), constant-frequency current-mode control for fast transient response, thermal performance enabled by exposed GND pad, and synchronization capability up to 2MHz for EMI reduction in dense PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LT1765EFE-3.3#PBF implements a constant-frequency, peak-current-mode buck topology with internal 1.25MHz oscillator, cycle-by-cycle current limiting, and integrated error amplifier (gm = 850μMho). Its BOOST pin drives the NPN switch with voltage > VIN to ensure saturation, enabling high efficiency across 3V–25V input range.
It uses a fixed internal feedback divider for 3.3V output (FB pin tied directly to VOUT), eliminating external resistors. Shutdown threshold is 1.33V with 7μA hysteresis, and SYNC input accepts logic-level signals (20–80% duty cycle) to lock oscillator frequency between 1.6MHz and 2MHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±2% (3.234V to 3.366V) - eliminates external resistor network and improves load regulation stability. |
| Switch Current Limit | 3A typical, 4A min - enables robust 2.5A continuous output under worst-case thermal conditions. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.25MHz typical (1.1–1.6MHz over temp) - allows use of small chip inductors (e.g., 1.5μH) and ceramic capacitors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3V to 25V - supports Li-ion batteries (3.0–4.2V), 5V/12V rails, and 24V industrial systems without external regulators. |
| Shutdown Current | 15μA typical - extends battery life in standby mode for portable equipment. |
| Feedback Reference | Internally trimmed 1.2V reference - ensures precise 3.3V output via on-die resistor divider (no FB pin external connection required). |
| Thermal Resistance | θJC(PAD) = 10°C/W - requires soldering exposed pad (Pin 17) to large copper plane for reliable 2.5A operation at 125°C junction. |
Pinout & Package
LT1765EFE-3.3#PBF is housed in a 16-lead thermally enhanced plastic TSSOP package with exposed GND pad (Pin 17). The package provides low thermal resistance (θJA = 45°C/W) and requires PCB layout with direct copper connection to the exposed pad for thermal management.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 1, 8, 10, 14, 16) | Power and signal reference ground | Multiple GND pins and exposed pad must be connected to a large copper plane to minimize thermal resistance and improve load regulation. |
| VIN (Pins 3, 4) | Input supply and switch collector | Both pins must be shorted on PCB; supplies internal regulator and powers NPN switch - bypass capacitor must be placed adjacent to reduce di/dt-induced voltage spikes. |
| VSW (Pins 5, 6) | Switch emitter node | Drives inductor; swings from ~0V to VIN during operation - requires external catch diode (e.g., CMDSH-3) clamped to GND. |
| BOOST (Pin 2) | Switch driver boost supply | Provides >VIN voltage to saturate NPN switch - typically driven by 0.18μF capacitor + diode from VOUT; minimum headroom 2.7V above VSW. |
| FB (Pin 11) | Feedback input | Tied internally to output for fixed 3.3V version - no external divider needed; enables current-limit foldback if pulled below 0.5V. |
| VC (Pin 12) | Error amplifier output / current comparator input | Used for loop compensation; voltage ranges from 0.4V (light load) to 0.9V (full load); can be driven to GND to force shutdown. |
| SHDN (Pin 13) | Enable/disable control | Logic-compatible input; 1.33V threshold turns device ON; floating or pulled high enables operation; 15μA shutdown current achieved when pulled low. |
| SYNC (Pin 9) | Oscillator synchronization input | Accepts 1.6–2MHz external clock (20–80% duty cycle); reduces EMI by aligning switching edges; must be grounded if unused. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 3A, 0.09Ω NPN switch | Enables high-efficiency conversion (≥85% at 2A, VIN=12V→VOUT=3.3V) without external MOSFET or driver complexity. |
| Current-mode control architecture | Delivers fast transient response (<10μs to settle after 1A load step) and inherent cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection. |
| Thermally enhanced TSSOP-16 with exposed pad | Supports 2.5A continuous output at ambient ≤65°C when mounted on ≥2 sq-in copper area - avoids need for heatsinks in space-constrained designs. |
| Synchronization to 2MHz external clock | Allows EMI-sensitive applications (e.g., RF modules, audio systems) to shift switching noise out of critical bands and simplify filtering. |
| Low 1mA quiescent supply current | Maintains high light-load efficiency (>80% at 10mA output) - critical for always-on subsystems in portable electronics. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3652EMSE-3.3#PBF | 42V max input, 2A output, integrated power MOSFETs, synchronous rectification | Better suited for automotive (42V) or higher-efficiency (>90%) requirements; lacks SYNC pin and exposed thermal pad | Select when input exceeds 25V or synchronous efficiency is mandatory; not drop-in due to different pinout and control scheme |
| TPS54331DR | 28V max input, 3A output, adjustable VOUT (0.8–28V), 570kHz switching, SO-8 package | Lower cost, smaller footprint, but lower switching frequency increases inductor/capacitor size; no exposed thermal pad | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-thermal-critical designs where 570kHz operation is acceptable and external feedback resistors are tolerable |
Compared with LT1765EFE-3.3#PBF, LT3652EMSE-3.3#PBF offers higher input voltage tolerance and synchronous efficiency but sacrifices thermal performance and synchronization flexibility; TPS54331DR reduces BOM count with integrated FETs but trades off switching frequency, thermal capability, and precision fixed-output stability.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current for LT1765EFE-3.3#PBF?
The LT1765EFE-3.3#PBF delivers up to 2.5A continuous output current under typical thermal conditions (ambient ≤65°C, exposed pad soldered to ≥2 sq-in copper). This is limited by thermal dissipation, not switch current rating - the internal 3A switch remains active, but junction temperature must stay ≤125°C. Derating is required above 65°C ambient.
Does LT1765EFE-3.3#PBF require external feedback resistors?
No. The LT1765EFE-3.3#PBF integrates the feedback resistor divider for fixed 3.3V output; the FB pin is internally connected to VOUT. External resistors are unnecessary and would disrupt regulation. Only the adjustable LT1765 (no suffix) requires external R1/R2.
Can LT1765EFE-3.3#PBF synchronize to an external clock?
Yes. The SYNC pin of LT1765EFE-3.3#PBF accepts logic-level signals (20–80% duty cycle) to lock the internal oscillator between 1.6MHz and 2MHz. This feature reduces EMI in noise-sensitive systems. When unused, SYNC must be grounded to prevent erratic operation.
What is the purpose of the BOOST pin on LT1765EFE-3.3#PBF?
The BOOST pin on LT1765EFE-3.3#PBF supplies a voltage > VIN to the internal NPN switch driver, ensuring full saturation and low conduction loss (270mV typical at 3A). It is typically driven by a 0.18μF capacitor charged via a diode from VOUT - providing ~3.3V headroom above VSW during switch-on time.
How does LT1765EFE-3.3#PBF handle thermal management?
LT1765EFE-3.3#PBF relies on its exposed GND pad (Pin 17) for thermal conduction. With θJC(PAD) = 10°C/W, it requires soldering to a large copper plane (minimum 2 sq-in) and multiple thermal vias to inner ground layers. Without proper pad connection, junction temperature rises rapidly, triggering thermal shutdown at 125°C.
