Product details
Overview
LT1765ES8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic 3A, 1.25MHz current-mode step-down switching regulator in an 8-lead SO package. It integrates a 0.09Ω NPN power switch, internal bias regulator, and oscillator, delivering regulated output from 3V–25V input to fixed 5V output with 1.2V feedback reference and 1mA quiescent current. It is used in portable computers and battery-powered systems requiring compact, high-efficiency DC/DC conversion.
For engineers reviewing the LT1765ES8#PBF datasheet, LT1765ES8#PBF pinout, LT1765ES8#PBF application, or LT1765ES8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3A switch current limit, 1.25MHz fixed-frequency operation, 15μA shutdown current, thermal performance in SO-8, and compatibility with ceramic input/output capacitors and external boost diode networks.
Technical Context
The LT1765ES8#PBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control using cycle-by-cycle peak current sensing and an internal 1.25MHz oscillator. Its bipolar NPN switch is driven via a BOOST pin that supplies >VIN voltage to ensure saturation, enabling high efficiency across wide input ranges.
It features dual-loop regulation: the error amplifier sets the current-comparator threshold via the VC pin, while the FB pin monitors output voltage against a 1.2V reference. Shutdown is controlled by a 1.33V-threshold comparator on SHDN, and synchronization is supported from 1.6MHz to 2MHz via the SYNC pin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switch Current Limit | 3A typical; ensures consistent 3A load capability regardless of duty cycle or input voltage |
| Oscillator Frequency | 1.25MHz typical; enables use of small chip inductors (e.g., 1.5–4.7μH) and low-profile ceramics |
| Feedback Reference | 1.2V nominal; allows precise output setting via external resistor divider for adjustable versions |
| Quiescent Current | 1mA typical; improves light-load efficiency in battery-powered applications |
| Shutdown Current | 15μA typical; minimizes standby drain in always-on systems |
| Input Voltage Range | 3V to 25V; supports Li-ion batteries (3.3–4.2V), 5V/12V rails, and 24V industrial inputs |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 90°C/W; requires PCB copper area under GND pin for reliable 3A operation at 125°C junction |
Pinout & Package
LT1765ES8#PBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SO (Small Outline) package with exposed thermal pad connected internally to GND. The package has standard SO-8 footprint, 1.27mm pitch, and is rated for –40°C to +125°C operating junction temperature.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SYNC) | Synchronization input | Logic-compatible TTL/CMOS input; accepts 1.6–2MHz external clock to align switching frequency |
| 2 (VC) | Error amplifier output / current clamp node | Provides loop compensation point; also serves as current-limit override (0.4V–0.9V range) |
| 3 (FB) | Feedback input | Monitors output via resistive divider; 1.2V reference enables accurate regulation of adjustable outputs |
| 4 (SHDN) | Shutdown control | 1.33V threshold; pull low to disable regulator and reduce supply current to 15μA |
| 5 (BOOST) | Bootstrap drive supply | Accepts externally generated voltage ≥VIN+1.8V to saturate internal NPN switch |
| 6 (VIN) | Main power input | Supplies internal circuitry and collector of NPN switch; requires local 1–4.7μF ceramic bypass |
| 7 (SW) | Switch emitter node | Drives external inductor; swings from ~0V to VIN during operation; requires catch diode clamping |
| 8 (GND) | Power and signal reference | Primary ground return; must connect to large copper area to minimize thermal resistance and improve load regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 3A NPN switch | 0.09Ω on-resistance reduces conduction loss and eliminates need for external MOSFET driver |
| Current-mode control | Enables fast transient response and stable loop compensation without complex type-II/III networks |
| BOOST pin architecture | Allows full saturation of internal bipolar switch across wide VIN range, sustaining high efficiency at low VOUT |
| 1.25MHz fixed-frequency operation | Permits use of sub-3mm height chip inductors and <10μF ceramic output caps, reducing board area |
| Thermally enhanced SO-8 | GND pin tied to internal die tab; achieves θJA = 90°C/W with minimal PCB copper, unlike standard SO-8 |
Applications
| DSL Modems | Portable Computers |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3605EDE#PBF | 4A synchronous buck, 3MHz switching, integrated MOSFETs, 2.5V–5.5V input only | Requires lower input voltage; better suited for single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V) or 3.3V system rails | Select when higher efficiency at light loads or smaller inductor size is critical, and input stays below 5.5V |
| TPS54331DR | 3A synchronous buck, 500kHz–2.5MHz programmable frequency, 3.5V–28V input, integrated FETs | Wider input range than LT1765ES8#PBF but lacks BOOST pin; uses MOSFETs instead of bipolar switch | Choose for designs needing adjustable frequency, lower EMI via spread-spectrum option, or simplified boost capacitor elimination |
Compared with LTC3605EDE#PBF and TPS54331DR, the LT1765ES8#PBF offers superior high-VIN efficiency due to its BOOST-driven bipolar switch and maintains constant 3A current limit across all duty cycles-critical for 12V/24V input systems where alternatives may derate.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LT1765ES8#PBF?
The LT1765ES8#PBF delivers up to 3A continuous output current under typical conditions (e.g., VIN = 12V, VOUT = 5V, TA = 25°C, with adequate PCB copper). Its maximum switch current limit is 3A typical (4A max), and output current is constrained by thermal limits and inductor selection-not by duty cycle. Derating applies above 85°C ambient or with insufficient heatsinking.
Does the LT1765ES8#PBF require an external catch diode?
Yes, the LT1765ES8#PBF requires an external Schottky catch diode (e.g., CMDSH-3) connected between SW and GND. Because it uses an NPN bipolar switch, the internal parasitic diode cannot conduct during off-time. The diode must withstand VIN reverse voltage and handle average current up to ~2.5A (for 5V out at 3A load), with <0.8V forward voltage to avoid excessive losses.
Can the LT1765ES8#PBF be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, the LT1765ES8#PBF supports synchronization via its SYNC pin. An external logic-level signal (20–80% duty cycle) in the 1.6MHz–2MHz range can lock the internal oscillator. This feature reduces EMI by eliminating beat frequencies and enables multi-rail phase alignment in dense power systems.
What is the purpose of the BOOST pin on the LT1765ES8#PBF?
The BOOST pin on the LT1765ES8#PBF supplies elevated gate drive voltage (>VIN) to fully saturate the internal NPN power switch. It is charged via an external capacitor–diode network (e.g., 0.18μF + CMDSH-3), typically referenced to VOUT. This architecture sustains high efficiency across wide input ranges (3V–25V) and prevents switch degradation at low VOUT.
Is the LT1765ES8#PBF pin-compatible with other variants in the LT1765 family?
Yes, the LT1765ES8#PBF shares identical pinout and package (8-lead SO) with all LT1765-x variants (e.g., LT1765ES8-3.3#PBF, LT1765ES8-5#PBF). Only the internal feedback divider differs-fixed-output versions tie FB directly to VOUT, while the adjustable LT1765ES8#PBF requires external resistors. No PCB change is needed when substituting within the SO-8 family.
