Product details
Overview
LT1931ES5#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a fixed-frequency, current-mode inverting DC/DC converter IC with integrated 1A switch, operating at 1.2MHz to generate –5V at 350mA or –12V at 150mA from a 5V input. It uses a dual-inductor inverting topology for ultra-low noise and high power density in space-constrained bias supply applications such as CCD and LCD bias.
For engineers reviewing the LT1931ES5#TRMPBF datasheet, LT1931ES5#TRMPBF pinout, LT1931ES5#TRMPBF application, or LT1931ES5#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.2MHz switching frequency, –1.255V feedback reference, 400mV VCE(SAT) at 1A, ThinSOT-23 package compatibility, and suitability for low-noise negative rail generation in imaging and display systems.
Technical Context
The LT1931ES5#TRMPBF employs constant-frequency current-mode control with an internal 1.2MHz oscillator, enabling precise regulation and fast transient response. Its dual-inductor inverting architecture filters both input and output currents, achieving ≤1mVP-P output ripple with ceramic capacitors.
It integrates a 36V-rated switch with 400mV saturation voltage at 1A and features a –1.255V precision feedback reference referenced to output. The NFB pin sources bias current, requiring external resistive divider design per VOUT = –1.255 × (1 + R1/R2), and supports optional phase-lead compensation via capacitor across R1.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 1.2MHz - enables use of compact <2mm-height inductors and low-ESR ceramic capacitors |
| Output Voltage Ripple | ≤1mVP-P - achieved with X5R/X7R ceramic output caps; critical for MR head and CCD bias stability |
| Feedback Reference | –1.255V - precise, temperature-stable reference for accurate negative output regulation |
| Switch VCE(SAT) | 400mV at 1A - minimizes conduction loss and thermal rise in high-current inverting topologies |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.6V to 16V - supports wide-input industrial and battery-powered systems including 5V and 12V rails |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - ensures negligible standby drain in portable or always-on bias supplies |
| Max Output Differential | 34V (VIN–VOUT) - allows generation of –33V/–66V SLIC supplies from 12V input |
Pinout & Package
LT1931ES5#TRMPBF is housed in a 5-lead ThinSOT-23 (TSOT-23) package, 1mm profile, JEDEC MO-193 compliant, with exposed pad not connected internally. Pin 1 (SW) carries high di/dt switching current; Pin 2 (GND) must tie directly to local ground plane; Pin 3 (NFB) sources bias current and sets output voltage; Pin 4 (SHDN) is active-high enable; Pin 5 (VIN) requires local 1–4.7µF ceramic bypass.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pin 1) | Switch node | Connects to coupled/uncoupled inductor(s) and Schottky diode cathode; minimize trace area to reduce EMI |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power ground | Primary return path for switch current and feedback loop; must connect directly to local ground plane |
| NFB (Pin 3) | Feedback input | Sources 4–8µA bias current; connects to resistor divider tap; sets VOUT = –1.255 × (1 + R1/R2) |
| SHDN (Pin 4) | Enable control | Logic-high ≥2.4V enables operation; logic-low ≤0.5V disables with <1µA quiescent draw |
| VIN (Pin 5) | Input supply | Accepts 2.6–16V; requires local 1–4.7µF X5R/X7R ceramic decoupling placed adjacent to pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar inverting DC/DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1931AES5#TRMPBF | 2.2MHz switching frequency, 75% max duty cycle, 300mA max –5V output | Better suited for ultra-compact designs using sub-5mm inductors; lower efficiency at high load | Select when board area and component height are primary constraints over peak output current |
| LT1611ES5#TRMPBF | 1.4MHz, 150mA –5V output, no integrated 1A switch (external FET required) | Lower power, legacy solution; lacks dual-inductor noise suppression and 1A integration | Choose only for cost-sensitive, low-current upgrades where existing LT1611 layout reuse is mandatory |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LT1931ES5#TRMPBF?
The LT1931ES5#TRMPBF delivers –5V at up to 350mA or –12V at up to 150mA from a 5V input, as verified in the datasheet's Typical Performance Characteristics (Figure 1931 TA01 and TA02). This performance assumes proper thermal layout, recommended coupled inductors (e.g., Sumida CLS62-100), and X5R ceramic output capacitors. Derating applies above 70°C ambient.
Does the LT1931ES5#TRMPBF require external compensation components?
The LT1931ES5#TRMPBF operates stably with standard resistor-divider feedback but supports optional phase-lead compensation via a capacitor (e.g., 220pF) across R1 to improve transient response and phase margin. Figure 1 and Figure 4 in the datasheet confirm this configuration reduces ringing during load steps without mandatory external compensation for basic –5V/–12V designs.
Can the LT1931ES5#TRMPBF generate –33V output?
Yes-the LT1931ES5#TRMPBF supports up to 34V differential between VIN and VOUT. As shown in Typical Application TA08, it generates –33V at 100mA and –66V at 48mA from a 12V input using appropriate inductor (Sumida CR43-220) and soft-start circuitry (RSS/CSS), with total output power limited to 3.3W.
What is the recommended diode for use with the LT1931ES5#TRMPBF?
The ON Semiconductor MBR0520 Schottky diode is explicitly recommended in the datasheet for ≤20V VIN–VOUT differentials. For higher differentials (e.g., >20V), the MBR0530 (30V rating) is advised. Both support the 0.5A average forward current typical in LT1931ES5#TRMPBF applications; Microsemi UPS5817 is suggested only if diode current exceeds 0.5A.
Is the LT1931ES5#TRMPBF pin-compatible with other ThinSOT-23 regulators?
Yes-the LT1931ES5#TRMPBF is pin-for-pin compatible with the LT1611, as stated in the datasheet's FEATURES section. This allows direct replacement in existing LT1611 designs to upgrade output current and noise performance without PCB changes, provided input voltage and thermal design accommodate the higher 1A switch capability.
