Product details
Overview
LT1913EDD#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic current-mode step-down switching regulator with 200kHz–2.4MHz adjustable frequency, 25V max input, 3.5A output current, and integrated 95mΩ NPN switch and boost Schottky diode. It delivers regulated 0.79V–25V output in automotive battery regulation and portable power systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT1913EDD#PBF datasheet, LT1913EDD#PBF pinout, LT1913EDD#PBF application, or LT1913EDD#PBF equivalent, key selection factors include soft-start via RUN/SS, power-good flag signaling at 91% VOUT, thermal protection, exposed-pad DFN thermal management, and synchronization capability from 250kHz to 2MHz.
Technical Context
The LT1913EDD#PBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control using an internal transconductance error amplifier (525 μ℧), slope-compensated PWM, and RS flip-flop oscillator driven by RT-resistor programming. Its bipolar NPN switch is driven via BOOST pin voltage > VIN + 2.3V for full saturation.
Operation includes frequency foldback during startup/overload, VC-pin clamping for current limiting (4.6–6.0A), active soft-start via RUN/SS ramp, and open-collector PG output valid only when VIN > 3.6V and RUN/SS high - all within –40°C to 125°C junction range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.6V to 25V - supports wide-range industrial and automotive supplies without external pre-regulation |
| Max Output Current | 3.5A continuous - enables single-chip 5V/3.3V rails for microcontrollers and FPGAs |
| Switching Frequency | 200kHz to 2.4MHz - selectable via RT resistor; higher frequencies allow smaller inductors (e.g., 4.7μH @ 600kHz) |
| Feedback Reference | 0.790V ±10mV - sets output accuracy; enables precise 1.2V, 3.3V, 5V, or custom voltages with resistor divider |
| Power Good Threshold | VFB ≥ 91% of target - provides reliable system reset timing with 65mV hysteresis |
| Shutdown Quiescent Current | <1μA - meets ultra-low-power requirements for battery-backed or always-on subsystems |
| Thermal Protection | Integrated junction shutdown - prevents damage during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking |
Pinout & Package
LT1913EDD#PBF uses a 10-lead 3mm × 3mm plastic DFN package with exposed pad (Pin 11) soldered to PCB ground for θJA = 45°C/W thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BD (Pin 1) | Boost Diode Anode Supply | Provides bias current to internal regulator; connects to cathode of external boost capacitor |
| BOOST (Pin 2) | Switch Drive Boost Node | Supplies >VIN voltage to saturate internal NPN switch; requires 0.47μF ceramic capacitor |
| SW (Pin 3) | Switch Output | Drives inductor and catch diode; carries full pulsed load current and must be routed with low-inductance layout |
| VIN (Pin 4) | Main Input Supply | Primary power source for switch and internal regulator; requires local 10μF X7R ceramic bypass |
| RUN/SS (Pin 5) | Enable & Soft-Start Control | Pull ≥2.5V for operation; RC network here controls output voltage ramp rate during startup |
| SYNC (Pin 6) | External Clock Input | Accepts 250kHz–2MHz square wave for EMI reduction or multi-phase synchronization |
| PG (Pin 7) | Power Good Flag | Open-collector output pulled high externally; asserts when VOUT reaches 91% of setpoint |
| FB (Pin 8) | Feedback Sense | Regulated to 0.790V; connects to resistor divider tap for output voltage programming |
| VC (Pin 9) | Error Amplifier Output | Controls peak switch current; RC compensation network here stabilizes current-mode loop |
| RT (Pin 10) | Oscillator Frequency Set | Resistor-to-ground sets switching frequency (e.g., 63.4kΩ = 600kHz per datasheet Fig. 1) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Boost Schottky Diode | Eliminates external boost diode; reduces BOM count and board area in compact DFN layout |
| Saturating Bipolar NPN Switch | 95mΩ on-resistance at 3.5A enables high efficiency (>90% at 12V→5V/3.5A) without MOSFET gate drivers |
| Adjustable Frequency with Sync | 200kHz–2.4MHz tuning plus 250kHz–2MHz sync input allows EMI compliance across diverse system clocks |
| Controlled Soft-Start | RUN/SS pin accepts external RC to limit inrush current and prevent output overshoot during power-up |
| Power-Good Flag with Hysteresis | PG asserts at 91% VOUT with 10mV hysteresis - ensures clean system reset without chatter near regulation threshold |

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#PBF | 40V input, 1.5A output, 3mm × 4mm MSOP; no integrated boost diode; requires external bootstrap cap | Better suited for higher-input industrial rails; lower output current limits use in high-power portable designs | Select when input exceeds 25V or when footprint allows larger MSOP and external diode |
| TPS54331DR | 28V input, 3A output, SOIC-8; MOSFET-based; no PG flag or SYNC; 0.8V ref | Lacks power-good signaling and synchronization - unsuitable for safety-critical or EMI-sensitive multi-rail systems | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-safety applications where PG and SYNC are not required |
Compared with LTC3631EMSE#PBF and TPS54331DR, LT1913EDD#PBF uniquely combines 25V/3.5A capability, integrated boost diode, PG flag, and SYNC in a 3mm × 3mm DFN - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability buck conversion where startup control and system coordination matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LT1913EDD#PBF?
The absolute maximum input voltage (VIN) for LT1913EDD#PBF is 25V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Continuous operation up to this rating is supported across the full –40°C to 125°C junction temperature range. Transient overvoltage events exceeding 25V - such as automotive load dump - require external clamping, as the device does not include built-in overvoltage protection beyond its 25V absolute limit. The BOOST pin has a separate 50V absolute maximum rating.
Does LT1913EDD#PBF require an external boost diode?
No, LT1913EDD#PBF integrates a boost Schottky diode on-die, eliminating the need for an external component. The BD pin (Pin 1) connects directly to the anode of this internal diode, which charges the external boost capacitor tied to the BOOST pin (Pin 2). This integration reduces bill-of-materials count, PCB area, and layout complexity - a key differentiator versus controllers requiring external bootstrap circuits.
How is the output voltage programmed on LT1913EDD#PBF?
The output voltage of LT1913EDD#PBF is programmed using a resistor divider between VOUT and FB (Pin 8), which regulates to a precise 0.790V reference. The formula is R1 = R2 × ((VOUT / 0.790V) − 1), where R2 connects from FB to GND. For example, to set 5.0V output: R2 = 10kΩ, R1 = 10kΩ × ((5.0 / 0.790) − 1) ≈ 53.4kΩ. Standard 1% resistors are recommended for accuracy.
What thermal considerations apply to LT1913EDD#PBF in the DFN package?
LT1913EDD#PBF uses a 10-lead 3mm × 3mm DFN with exposed pad (Pin 11) that must be soldered to a PCB thermal pad connected to solid ground planes. Thermal resistance is θJA = 45°C/W and θJC = 10°C/W. To maintain safe operation at 3.5A, the PCB must provide ≥2 cm² of copper area under the exposed pad with ≥4 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter) to inner/ground layers. Junction temperature must stay ≤125°C - derating is required above 85°C ambient without forced airflow.
Can LT1913EDD#PBF synchronize to an external clock?
Yes, LT1913EDD#PBF supports external clock synchronization via the SYNC pin (Pin 6), accepting TTL/CMOS-compatible square waves from 250kHz to 2MHz. The pin has defined logic thresholds (0.5V low, 0.8V high) and <0.1μA bias current. When unused, SYNC must be grounded - floating is prohibited. Synchronization enables EMI reduction in dense layouts and phase-aligned operation in multi-converter systems, preserving the device's full 200kHz–2.4MHz internal frequency range while locking to external timing.
