Product details
Overview
LT1767EMS8-2.5#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic 1.25MHz, 1.5A step-down switching regulator in an 8-pin MSOP package with fixed 2.5V output, 0.22Ω internal NPN switch, 2% output tolerance, and 6µA shutdown current. It operates from 3V to 25V input and delivers stable power for portable computing and battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT1767EMS8-2.5#PBF datasheet, LT1767EMS8-2.5#PBF pinout, LT1767EMS8-2.5#PBF application, or LT1767EMS8-2.5#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its constant-frequency current-mode control, exposed-pad thermal performance (θJA = 40°C/W in MS8E variant), synchronization capability up to 2MHz, and integrated 1.2V feedback reference with internal resistor divider for 2.5V output.
Technical Context
The LT1767EMS8-2.5#PBF implements a fixed-frequency (1.25MHz nominal), current-mode buck topology using an on-die bipolar NPN power switch with BOOST-assisted saturation drive. Its error amplifier output (VC pin) directly sets cycle-by-cycle peak switch current, enabling fast transient response and stable loop compensation without external slope compensation.
It features dual-level undervoltage lockout: internal VIN lockout at 2.6V (min) and programmable SHDN threshold at 1.33V (typ), plus SYNC pin compatibility with 20–80% duty-cycle external clocks up to 2MHz. The FB pin is internally connected to the 2.5V output via a precision resistor network yielding ±2% total output tolerance over temperature and line/load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5V ±2% over temperature, line, and load - eliminates external feedback resistors and ensures production-ready accuracy. |
| Switch Current Limit | 1.5A minimum (0°C to 125°C) - enables continuous 1.2A+ output under thermal derating, independent of duty cycle. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.25MHz typical (1.1–1.5MHz over temp) - allows use of compact 2.2–4.7µH chip inductors and reduces input/output filtering size. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3V to 25V - supports wide-range DC inputs including 12V industrial rails and multi-cell Li-ion batteries. |
| Shutdown Current | 6µA typical - extends battery life in standby mode without requiring external disconnect circuitry. |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 110°C/W (MS8), 40°C/W (MS8E) - exposed-pad variant enables >1.2A continuous operation at +85°C ambient with minimal copper area. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.2V internal reference with <±0.5µA bias - ensures high-accuracy regulation without external divider errors or leakage sensitivity. |
Pinout & Package
LT1767EMS8-2.5#PBF uses an 8-lead plastic MSOP package (MS8) with GND-connected tab for thermal conduction. The exposed-pad variant (MS8E) offers lower θJA but shares identical pinout and footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BOOST | Boost capacitor drive node | Provides >VIN voltage to saturate internal NPN switch; requires external 0.1µF capacitor and Schottky diode tied to VOUT or VIN. |
| VIN | Power input and switch collector | Supplies internal regulator and powers NPN collector; must be bypassed locally with low-ESR ceramic capacitor. |
| VSW | Switch emitter output | Drives inductor; swings negative during off-time - requires external catch diode (e.g., UPS120) clamped to GND. |
| GND | Analog/digital ground reference | Reference for FB, VC, and SHDN; must connect directly to large copper plane to minimize ground bounce and improve thermal dissipation. |
| SYNC | External clock synchronization input | Logic-compatible input accepting 1.5–2MHz external signal; floats or grounds to disable sync function. |
| VC | Error amplifier output / current limit control | 0.35V–0.9V range sets peak switch current; usable for loop compensation, current limiting, or forced shutdown. |
| FB | Feedback input | Internally tied to 2.5V output via precision divider - no external components required for fixed-output operation. |
| SHDN | Enable/disable control | 1.33V threshold enables UVLO functionality; pull high (>1.4V) for operation, ground or <1.27V for 6µA shutdown mode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant 1.25MHz switching frequency | Enables predictable EMI profile and consistent filter design across input voltage and load conditions. |
| Current-mode control with cycle-by-cycle limiting | Eliminates need for external slope compensation and guarantees stable operation at all duty cycles, including >50%. |
| Integrated 2.5V feedback network | Removes external resistor tolerance and layout parasitics, delivering ±2% output accuracy without calibration. |
| BOOST-assisted NPN switch (0.22Ω RCE(sat)) | Achieves high efficiency (>85% at 1A, 12V→2.5V) by reducing conduction loss versus standard bipolar architectures. |
| Synchronizable oscillator (up to 2MHz) | Allows noise-sensitive systems to align switching with master clock or avoid critical frequency bands. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1767EMS8E-2.5#PBF | Identical electrical specs; MS8E package with exposed thermal pad (θJA = 40°C/W vs. 110°C/W). | Required where >1A continuous output at elevated ambient temperatures is needed without forced airflow. | Select when thermal performance is prioritized over cost or PCB real estate - same pinout, no layout change. |
| LT3502AEDD-2.5#PBF | Higher 3MHz switching frequency, 2A switch, but requires external feedback resistors even for fixed 2.5V output. | Better suited for ultra-compact designs needing sub-1mm height inductors, but adds component count and layout sensitivity. | Choose when board space is constrained and higher switching frequency justifies added design complexity and BOM cost. |
Compared with LT1767EMS8-2.5#PBF, the MS8E variant improves thermal headroom without altering circuit design, while LT3502AEDD-2.5#PBF trades simplicity and proven reliability for higher frequency and current capability at the expense of external component dependency.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the LT1767EMS8-2.5#PBF?
The LT1767EMS8-2.5#PBF guarantees a minimum 1.5A switch current limit across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature. Continuous output current depends on thermal design: with adequate copper area on the GND pad, ≥1.2A is achievable at +85°C ambient in the MS8E package. Derating applies above 85°C ambient or with insufficient PCB copper.
Does the LT1767EMS8-2.5#PBF require external feedback resistors?
No. The LT1767EMS8-2.5#PBF integrates a precision resistor divider that connects the FB pin directly to the 2.5V output, eliminating external components. This ensures ±2% total output tolerance without resistor tolerance, temperature drift, or layout-induced errors - a key advantage over adjustable regulators.
Can the LT1767EMS8-2.5#PBF be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes. The SYNC pin accepts logic-level signals from 1.5MHz to 2MHz with 20–80% duty cycle. When driven, the internal oscillator locks to the external frequency. If unused, SYNC must be grounded. Synchronization helps reduce EMI in noise-sensitive systems or align switching with system timing domains.
What is the purpose of the BOOST pin on the LT1767EMS8-2.5#PBF?
The BOOST pin provides a voltage higher than VIN to fully saturate the internal NPN power switch, reducing its effective on-resistance to ~0.22Ω. It requires an external 0.1µF capacitor and Schottky diode (e.g., CMDSH-3), typically tied to VOUT. Without BOOST, switch losses increase significantly, degrading efficiency and thermal performance.
How does the LT1767EMS8-2.5#PBF handle undervoltage lockout (UVLO)?
The LT1767EMS8-2.5#PBF has dual UVLO: an internal VIN threshold (~2.6V) and a user-programmable SHDN pin threshold (1.33V). Pulling SHDN below 1.27V disables regulation and reduces supply current to 6µA. External resistor dividers on SHDN enable custom turn-on/turn-off hysteresis, ideal for battery protection circuits.
