Product details
Overview
LT1765EFE-5#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic 3A, 1.25MHz current-mode step-down switching regulator with fixed 5V output, integrated 0.09Ω NPN power switch, and thermally enhanced 16-lead TSSOP package. It operates from 3V to 25V input, delivers up to 3A continuous output, and maintains constant maximum switch current across all duty cycles-ideal for compact, high-efficiency DC/DC conversion in battery-powered and distributed power systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT1765EFE-5#PBF datasheet, LT1765EFE-5#PBF pinout, LT1765EFE-5#PBF application, or LT1765EFE-5#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its fixed 5V feedback reference (4.9V–5.1V), 15μA shutdown current, 1.25MHz switching frequency with external synchronization up to 2MHz, thermal performance enabled by exposed GND pad, and compatibility with ceramic or tantalum output capacitors in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The LT1765EFE-5#PBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control using an internal 1.25MHz oscillator, cycle-by-cycle peak current sensing, and a transconductance error amplifier (850μMho) referenced to a 1.2V internal bandgap. Its bipolar NPN switch architecture requires BOOST pin voltage ≥ VIN + 1.8V for saturation, enabling high efficiency despite wide input range (3V–25V).
It integrates undervoltage lockout (2.47V–2.73V), thermal shutdown, and full-cycle current limiting with foldback below 0.5V FB. The VC pin serves dual roles: error amplifier output and current clamp input (0.4V–0.9V operating range), allowing loop compensation and overcurrent override without external circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±2% (4.9V–5.1V); eliminates external feedback divider and improves accuracy/stability. |
| Max Output Current | 3A continuous; limited by constant 3A–4A switch current rating independent of duty cycle. |
| Switch On Resistance | 0.09Ω typical; enables >90% efficiency at 3A with low conduction loss and minimal thermal rise. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.25MHz typical (1.1–1.6MHz); allows use of small chip inductors (e.g., 1.5μH–2.2μH) and reduces EMI filtering burden. |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 1mA typical; minimizes no-load power loss in always-on or low-duty-cycle applications. |
| Shutdown Current | 15μA typical; extends battery life in portable systems during sleep mode. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3V to 25V; supports Li-ion batteries (3V–4.2V), 5V/12V rails, and 24V industrial inputs without external regulators. |
| Synchronization Range | 1.6MHz to 2MHz; enables EMI reduction via fixed-frequency coordination with system clock or other converters. |
Pinout & Package
LT1765EFE-5#PBF uses a 16-lead thermally enhanced plastic TSSOP package with exposed GND pad (Pin 17) soldered to a large copper plane for θJC(PAD) = 10°C/W. Package dimensions: 5mm × 4.4mm × 1.2mm. Thermal performance relies on PCB copper area under Pin 17 and short GND traces.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 1, 8, 10, 16) | Power and signal reference ground | Must connect all GND pins and exposed pad to single low-impedance ground plane; critical for load regulation, thermal dissipation, and noise immunity. |
| BOOST (Pin 2) | Switch driver boost supply | Requires external capacitor/diode network to generate ≥VIN+1.8V; insufficient boost causes switch saturation loss and efficiency drop. |
| VIN (Pins 3, 4) | Input power collector node | Both pins must be shorted on PCB; high di/dt path requiring local 1μF–4.7μF ceramic bypass capacitor near pins. |
| SW (Pins 5, 6) | Switch emitter output | Drives inductor; negative flyback voltage during off-time requires external catch diode (VBR < 0.8V) clamped to GND. |
| NC (Pins 7, 11, 14) | No-connect terminals | Not internally bonded; must remain unconnected or tied to GND per layout best practice-no routing or loading. |
| SYNC (Pin 12) | External oscillator sync input | Logic-compatible (20%–80% duty); drives internal oscillator into 1.6–2MHz range; float or tie to GND if unused. |
| VC (Pin 13) | Error amplifier output / current clamp | 0.4V–0.9V range sets peak switch current; used for compensation (RC network) or fast shutdown (drive to GND). |
| FB (Pin 15) | Feedback sense input | Internally connected to 5V output; no external divider needed-simplifies layout and improves regulation accuracy. |
| SHDN (Pin 15) | Enable/disable control | 1.33V threshold; pull low to shut down (15μA IQ); can implement precise UVLO with external resistor divider. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Thermally enhanced TSSOP-16 with exposed GND pad | Enables 3A operation at ambient temperatures up to 85°C with standard 2oz copper and 1in² thermal pad-no heatsink required. |
| Constant maximum switch current at all duty cycles | Guarantees consistent 3A–4A current limit regardless of input/output voltage ratio-prevents overcurrent during low-VIN/high-duty-cycle conditions. |
| 1.25MHz current-mode architecture with slope compensation | Provides inherent stability, fast transient response (<10μs), and immunity to subharmonic oscillation up to 50% duty cycle. |
| Integrated 1.2V bandgap reference and fixed 5V feedback network | Eliminates external resistors, reduces BOM count, and ensures ±2% output accuracy over –40°C to 125°C junction temperature. |
| Low 15μA shutdown current with accurate 1.33V SHDN threshold | Supports battery cutoff at precise voltage (e.g., 3.75V turn-off via resistor divider), extending runtime and preventing deep discharge. |
| BOOST pin architecture with external capacitor/diode | Allows full NPN switch saturation across full input range (3V–25V), achieving >92% peak efficiency even at 24V→5V conversion. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3631EMSE-5#PBF | Monolithic 3A buck with 3.5V–40V input, 5V fixed output, 2MHz max frequency, and integrated MOSFETs (not bipolar); 28μA IQ. | Higher input voltage support (up to 40V) and better light-load efficiency; lacks BOOST pin complexity but requires higher gate drive voltage margin. | Select when input exceeds 25V or when synchronous rectification (vs. external diode) is preferred for >94% efficiency. |
| TPS54331DR | 3A buck with 3.5V–28V input, adjustable output, 570kHz frequency, external compensation, and MOSFET-based design; 125μA IQ. | Lower switching frequency increases inductor size; no fixed 5V option-requires external resistor divider and adds tolerance error. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs board area constraints, or when adjustable output (not fixed 5V) is required for future design reuse. |
Compared with LTC3631EMSE-5#PBF and TPS54331DR, the LT1765EFE-5#PBF offers superior thermal performance in TSSOP-16 due to its exposed pad and bipolar switch architecture, tighter fixed-output accuracy (±2% vs. ±3%), and lower shutdown current (15μA vs. 28μA/125μA), making it optimal for space- and battery-limited 5V systems operating up to 25V input.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LT1765EFE-5#PBF to regulate 5V output?
The LT1765EFE-5#PBF has a guaranteed minimum input voltage of 2.6V (typical 2.47V–2.73V) due to internal undervoltage lockout. However, stable 5V regulation requires VIN ≥ VOUT + dropout margin: for 3A load, VIN must exceed ~6.5V to maintain sufficient headroom for the 0.09Ω switch and BOOST circuit. At light loads, regulation is possible down to ~5.5V.
Can LT1765EFE-5#PBF synchronize to an external clock, and what are the requirements?
Yes, the LT1765EFE-5#PBF supports external synchronization via the SYNC pin. It accepts logic-level signals (20%–80% duty cycle) in the 1.6MHz–2MHz range. The SYNC threshold is 1.5V–2.2V, and input resistance is 20kΩ. For reliable locking, the external clock must exceed the device's free-running frequency (1.1–1.6MHz) and exhibit low jitter-no level-shifting is needed for 3.3V or 5V CMOS sources.
Does LT1765EFE-5#PBF require an external catch diode, and what specifications are critical?
Yes, LT1765EFE-5#PBF requires an external Schottky catch diode (e.g., CMDSH-3) connected between SW and GND. Critical specs: reverse voltage rating ≥ VIN(max) = 25V, forward voltage ≤ 0.8V at peak current, and surge current rating ≥ 4A (to handle short-circuit conditions). Low Qrr and fast recovery minimize switching losses and EMI.
How does the BOOST pin function in LT1765EFE-5#PBF, and what components are needed?
The BOOST pin supplies elevated voltage (>VIN + 1.8V) to fully saturate the internal NPN switch. It requires a flying capacitor (0.18μF ceramic) and Schottky diode (e.g., CMDSH-3) connected from BOOST to output. During switch on-time, the capacitor charges to ~VOUT above VIN; insufficient BOOST voltage increases switch VCE and reduces efficiency-especially at low VOUT or high VIN.
Is LT1765EFE-5#PBF RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, LT1765EFE-5#PBF carries the #PBF suffix, indicating 100% matte tin lead finish and full compliance with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-609. It is qualified for reflow soldering per J-STD-020, with MSL Level 1 rating and peak temperature tolerance up to 260°C.
