Product details
Overview
LT1766IFE-5#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 5V fixed-output, 200kHz monolithic buck switching regulator with 1.5A peak switch current, 5.5V–60V input range, and integrated 0.2Ω NPN power switch. It delivers high efficiency in industrial power supplies, battery chargers, and distributed systems where wide VIN and thermal robustness are critical.
For engineers reviewing the LT1766IFE-5#TRPBF datasheet, LT1766IFE-5#TRPBF pinout, LT1766IFE-5#TRPBF application, or LT1766IFE-5#TRPBF equivalent, key selection factors include its fixed 5V output, TSSOP-16 thermally enhanced package with exposed GND pad, 25μA shutdown current, and SYNC capability from 228kHz to 700kHz - all validated for –40°C to 125°C operation.
Technical Context
The LT1766IFE-5#TRPBF employs current-mode control with cycle-by-cycle current limiting and a patented architecture that maintains constant 1.5A peak switch current across the full duty cycle range. Its BOOST pin enables saturation of the internal NPN switch, achieving low conduction loss equivalent to a 0.2Ω FET despite bipolar construction.
It integrates oscillator, error amplifier (gm = 2000 μmho), VC clamp (0.9V–2.1V), and dual-threshold shutdown (0.4V/2.38V) with undervoltage lockout. The FB/SENSE pin is internally connected to the 5V output, eliminating external feedback resistors while retaining foldback protection below 0.6V and frequency shifting below 0.8V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5V ±1.2% (SENSE pin tied directly to VOUT; no external divider required) |
| Input Voltage Range | 5.5V to 60V - supports 12V/24V/48V industrial buses and automotive cold-crank transients |
| Switch Current Limit | 1.5A peak (guaranteed over full duty cycle and –40°C to 125°C junction temperature) |
| Switch On-Resistance | 0.2Ω typical (achieved via BOOST pin drive; reduces conduction loss at high VIN/VOUT ratios) |
| Shutdown Current | 25μA max (enables ultra-low-power standby in battery-backed systems) |
| Switching Frequency | 200kHz fixed (±16kHz), synchronizable from 228kHz to 700kHz with logic-level input) |
| Thermal Rating | –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature (IFE grade; θJA = 45°C/W with exposed pad soldered) |
Pinout & Package
LT1766IFE-5#TRPBF uses a 16-pin thermally enhanced TSSOP package (FE) with exposed GND pad (Pin 17). The package requires soldering the exposed pad to PCB ground plane for thermal performance (θJC = 10°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 1, 8, 9, 16, 17) | Power and signal reference ground | Multiple GND pins + exposed pad reduce thermal resistance and minimize ground bounce; must be solidly connected to PCB ground plane |
| SW (Pin 2) | Emitter of internal NPN power switch | Drives inductor; swings from ~–0.8V (clamped by catch diode) to VIN during on-time; high dI/dt node requiring short layout |
| VIN (Pin 4) | Collector of internal NPN switch & primary supply | Supplies control circuitry when BIAS is unconnected; high dI/dt path - requires local ceramic bypass capacitor |
| BOOST (Pin 6) | Switch driver boost voltage input | Accepts voltage ≥VIN+1.8V (min); enables NPN saturation - implemented with external diode + capacitor from SW to BOOST |
| BIAS (Pin 10) | Efficiency-boosting auxiliary supply input | When connected to VOUT (≥3V), shifts bias current from VIN to VOUT, improving efficiency at high VIN/light load |
| VC (Pin 11) | Error amplifier output / current limit comparator input | 0.9V–2.1V operating range; used for loop compensation; can override current limit or force shutdown if pulled to GND |
| FB/SENSE (Pin 12) | 5V output sense input (fixed-output variant) | Internally connected to 5V output; provides foldback current limiting (<0.6V) and frequency reduction (<0.8V) during fault conditions |
| SYNC (Pin 14) | External clock synchronization input | Logic-compatible (1.5V–2.2V min amplitude); accepts 228kHz–700kHz square wave; disables foldback when active |
| SHDN (Pin 15) | Enable/disable control with UVLO | 2.38V threshold enables UVLO; 0.4V threshold forces micropower shutdown (25μA); open-circuit defaults to ON via internal bias |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide 5.5V–60V input range | Supports direct connection to 48V telecom, 24V industrial, and 12V automotive rails without pre-regulation |
| Integrated 0.2Ω NPN switch | Eliminates external MOSFET; achieves >85% efficiency at 1A/12V→5V without heatsink |
| Thermally enhanced TSSOP-16 | Exposed GND pad (Pin 17) enables θJA = 45°C/W - 3× better than standard SSOP for 1.5A continuous operation |
| Two-threshold shutdown | 2.38V UVLO prevents startup until input stabilizes; 0.4V deep shutdown cuts supply current to 25μA |
| Frequency and current foldback | Reduces switching frequency 5:1 and limits current to <1A when SENSE <0.6V - protects IC and external components during short-circuit |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3642EMSE-5#PBF | 40V max VIN, 2A switch, 3mm × 4mm MSOP; requires external feedback for 5V | Better suited for space-constrained designs with lower VIN; lacks BOOST pin for ultra-high-VIN saturation | Choose LTC3642EMSE-5#PBF when board area is critical and input stays ≤40V; avoid for 48V+ industrial use. |
| LM5164QDRCRQ1 | Automotive-grade (AEC-Q100), 100V VIN, 0.5A switch, integrated BOOT diode; 5V output requires resistor divider | Designed for automotive under-hood environments; lower current rating limits continuous 5V load to ~0.4A | Choose LM5164QDRCRQ1 only for automotive applications requiring AEC-Q100 qualification; not drop-in for LT1766IFE-5#TRPBF's 1.5A capability. |
Compared with LTC3642EMSE-5#PBF and LM5164QDRCRQ1, the LT1766IFE-5#TRPBF uniquely combines 60V input tolerance, 1.5A integrated switch, fixed 5V output, and BOOST-enabled low-RON operation - making it optimal for industrial 48V-to-5V conversion where reliability and thermal margin are prioritized over footprint.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LT1766IFE-5#TRPBF?
The LT1766IFE-5#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage (VIN) rating of 60V. Operation above this voltage risks permanent damage. The device is designed for reliable continuous operation across its full 5.5V–60V input range, including transient overvoltage events common in 48V industrial and automotive systems. Always observe derating guidelines per the datasheet's Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Does the LT1766IFE-5#TRPBF require external feedback resistors to set the 5V output?
No. The LT1766IFE-5#TRPBF features an internal resistor divider optimized for 5V output, so the FB/SENSE pin (Pin 12) connects directly to the output. This eliminates external resistor selection errors and improves accuracy versus adjustable variants like the LT1766IFE#TRPBF. The SENSE pin also enables built-in foldback protection during output faults.
How does the BOOST pin function in the LT1766IFE-5#TRPBF?
The BOOST pin (Pin 6) provides a voltage higher than VIN to the base of the internal NPN power switch, enabling full saturation and reducing effective on-resistance to 0.2Ω. It is implemented with an external diode and capacitor from SW to BOOST. Without BOOST, switch losses increase significantly - the pin is mandatory for specified efficiency and 1.5A current capability across the full input range.
Can the LT1766IFE-5#TRPBF be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes. The LT1766IFE-5#TRPBF supports external synchronization via the SYNC pin (Pin 14), accepting logic-level square waves from 228kHz to 700kHz with 10%–90% duty cycle. During synchronization, internal foldback protection remains active unless the external clock amplitude falls below 1.5V. This feature reduces EMI in noise-sensitive systems and enables multi-regulator phase alignment.
What thermal considerations apply to the LT1766IFE-5#TRPBF's TSSOP package?
The LT1766IFE-5#TRPBF uses a thermally enhanced TSSOP-16 (FE) package with an exposed GND pad (Pin 17) that must be soldered to a large PCB copper plane. With proper layout, θJA drops to 45°C/W - critical for sustaining 1.5A continuous output at high ambient temperatures. Failure to connect the exposed pad degrades thermal performance by >2× and may trigger thermal shutdown under load.
