Product details
Overview
LT1912EDD#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic 36V, 2A, current-mode step-down switching regulator with adjustable 200kHz–500kHz switching frequency, integrated 0.25Ω bipolar NPN switch and on-die boost Schottky diode, designed for automotive battery regulation and industrial distributed supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LT1912EDD#TRPBF datasheet, LT1912EDD#TRPBF pinout, LT1912EDD#TRPBF application, or LT1912EDD#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include input voltage range (3.6V–36V), soft-start via RUN/SS pin, synchronization capability (250kHz–500kHz), thermal performance in 3mm × 3mm DFN, and feedback reference accuracy (780–805mV).
Technical Context
The LT1912EDD#TRPBF employs constant-frequency current-mode control with an internal transconductance error amplifier (25µmho), slope compensation, and active VC-pin current limiting. Its oscillator is resistor-programmed via RT pin and supports external synchronization through SYNC pin with 0.5V/0.7V thresholds.
Operation relies on a boost capacitor network tied to BD and BOOST pins to drive the internal bipolar switch into saturation; minimum boost voltage is 1.5V, and BOOST pin withstands up to 56V. The device enters pulse-skipping mode under light load or during overvoltage transients while maintaining regulation up to 36V input.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.6V to 36V - supports wide-range industrial and automotive battery inputs without external pre-regulation. |
| Max Output Current | 2A - sustained delivery with internal switch current limit of 3.2A–4.2A (duty-cycle dependent). |
| Switching Frequency | 200kHz to 500kHz - set by RT resistor; synchronizable externally from 250kHz to 500kHz. |
| Feedback Reference | 780mV to 805mV - precise 0.79V nominal reference enables accurate output programming from 0.79V to 20V. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - ultra-low quiescent draw in shutdown, critical for always-on automotive modules. |
| On-Resistance | 0.25Ω - low RDS(on)-equivalent saturation resistance of integrated bipolar switch improves full-load efficiency. |
| Package | 10-pin 3mm × 3mm DFN with exposed pad - thermally enhanced layout for ≤45°C/W junction-to-ambient. |
Pinout & Package
LT1912EDD#TRPBF is housed in a 10-lead, 3mm × 3mm plastic DFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 11 = GND). The exposed pad must be soldered to PCB for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BD (Pin 1) | Bias Diode Anode Input | Supplies current to internal bias regulator; connects to anode of external boost Schottky diode. |
| BOOST (Pin 2) | Boost Drive Voltage Node | Provides >VIN drive to internal bipolar switch; requires ≥2.3V above SW for full saturation. |
| SW (Pin 3) | Switch Node | Output of internal power switch; connects to inductor, catch diode, and boost capacitor. |
| VIN (Pin 4) | Main Power Input | Supplies internal regulator and switch; must be locally bypassed with ≥4.7µF ceramic capacitor. |
| RUN/SS (Pin 5) | Enable & Soft-Start Control | Logic-level enable (≥2.5V = ON); RC ramp here sets controlled output voltage rise time. |
| SYNC (Pin 6) | External Clock Input | Accepts TTL/CMOS clock edges (rise/fall <1µs) to synchronize switching across multiple regulators. |
| N/C (Pin 7) | No Connect | Internally unused; must be tied to GND per datasheet for stability. |
| FB (Pin 8) | Feedback Sense Input | Regulated to 0.79V; connects to resistor divider tap for output voltage programming. |
| VC (Pin 9) | Error Amplifier Output | Controls peak switch current; RC network here sets loop compensation and stability. |
| RT (Pin 10) | Oscillator Timing Input | Resistor to GND sets switching frequency (e.g., 68.1kΩ = 500kHz). |
| GND (Pin 11) | Power Ground / Thermal Pad | Exposed pad is functional GND; mandatory solder connection for thermal management and noise reduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Boost Schottky Diode | Eliminates external boost diode, reducing BOM count and board area in compact 3mm × 3mm DFN layout. |
| Adjustable Frequency with Sync | Enables EMI optimization and multi-rail coordination without sacrificing efficiency or transient response. |
| Current-Mode Control Architecture | Provides inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting, fast transient response, and simplified loop compensation. |
| Soft-Start via RUN/SS Pin | Prevents inrush current and output overshoot using external RC; eliminates need for dedicated soft-start IC. |
| Thermally Enhanced DFN Package | Exposes die pad as GND for low θJA (45°C/W) and robust thermal performance in high-power density designs. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the LT1912EDD#TRPBF?
The LT1912EDD#TRPBF supports up to 36V continuous input voltage when operating in regulation. During startup, short-circuit, or overload, the safe maximum depends on switching frequency and duty cycle constraints-typically limited to ~30V unless using frequency foldback. Absolute maximum ratings specify 36V on VIN and 56V on BOOST pin.
Does the LT1912EDD#TRPBF require an external boost diode?
No-the LT1912EDD#TRPBF integrates a boost Schottky diode on-die, eliminating the need for an external component. The BD pin connects directly to the anode of this internal diode, and the BOOST pin uses the resulting boosted voltage to fully saturate the internal bipolar switch.
Can the LT1912EDD#TRPBF be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes-the LT1912EDD#TRPBF features a dedicated SYNC pin (Pin 6) that accepts TTL/CMOS clock signals from 250kHz to 500kHz. Clock edges must have rise/fall times faster than 1µs. Grounding SYNC disables synchronization and reverts to internal oscillator operation.
What is the purpose of the exposed pad on the LT1912EDD#TRPBF DFN package?
The exposed pad (Pin 11) on the LT1912EDD#TRPBF is electrically and thermally connected to GND. It must be soldered to a PCB copper pour to achieve specified thermal resistance (θJA = 45°C/W) and ensure stable operation under 2A load conditions. Leaving it unconnected degrades thermal performance and may cause premature thermal shutdown.
How is output voltage programmed on the LT1912EDD#TRPBF?
Output voltage is programmed using a resistor divider between VOUT and FB (Pin 8), referenced to the internal 0.79V feedback voltage. For example, to set 5V output: R1 = R2 × ((5V / 0.79V) − 1). Standard 1% resistors are recommended, and the FB pin bias current is only 7–30nA, minimizing divider error.
