Product details
Overview
LT1931ES5#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a fixed-frequency, current-mode inverting DC/DC converter 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 (1mVP-P ripple), wide 2.6V–16V input range, and low 400mV VCE(SAT) at 1A-ideal for compact negative bias supplies in imaging and display systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT1931ES5#TRPBF datasheet, LT1931ES5#TRPBF pinout, LT1931ES5#TRPBF application, or LT1931ES5#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include switching frequency (1.2MHz), feedback reference (–1.255V), shutdown current (<1µA), maximum duty cycle (84%), and ThinSOT-23 package compatibility with LT1611-based designs.
Technical Context
The LT1931ES5#TRPBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control with an internal 1.2MHz oscillator, SR latch, and PWM comparator referenced to a –1.255V feedback node. Its dual-inductor inverting topology filters both input and output currents, enabling stable regulation within 1% during large load transients.
It features a 36V-rated switch, allowing up to 34V VIN-to-VOUT differential, and integrates protection via 1.2A current limiting (guaranteed by design). The NFB pin sources bias current, requiring external resistive divider configuration per output voltage, while SHDN enables <1µA shutdown mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 1.2MHz - enables use of sub-2mm-height inductors and ceramic capacitors for space-constrained designs |
| Output Ripple | 1mVP-P - achieved with ceramic output caps; supports low-noise analog biasing (e.g., CCD, MR head) |
| Feedback Voltage | –1.255V - precise reference for accurate negative output regulation across temperature |
| Max Output Current | 350mA at –5V from 5V - sufficient for LCD bias, GaAs FET gate drive, and local negative rails |
| VCE(SAT) | 400mV at 1A - minimizes conduction loss and thermal rise in high-current inverting topologies |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.6V to 16V - supports single-cell Li-ion, USB, and industrial 5V/12V supply rails |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - enables battery-backed systems to maintain ultra-low quiescent power |
Pinout & Package
The LT1931ES5#TRPBF is housed in a 5-lead ThinSOT-23 (TSOT-23) package, 1mm profile, JEDEC MO-193 compliant, with exposed pad not connected internally.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pin 1) | Switch node | Connects to coupled/uncoupled inductor(s) and Schottky diode cathode; high dv/dt node requiring minimal trace area |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power ground | Must tie directly to local ground plane; serves as return for switch, feedback amplifier, and bias circuits |
| NFB (Pin 3) | Feedback input | Sources 4–8µA bias current; connects to resistor divider tap to set output voltage via –1.255V reference |
| SHDN (Pin 4) | Enable control | Logic-high ≥2.4V enables operation; logic-low ≤0.5V places device in sub-1µA shutdown state |
| VIN (Pin 5) | Input supply | Accepts 2.6–16V; requires local 1–4.7µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-inductor inverting topology | Simultaneously filters input and output current ripple, reducing EMI and enabling clean negative rail generation |
| 1.2MHz fixed-frequency operation | Permits use of small, low-cost 10µH coupled inductors (e.g., Sumida CLS62-100) and X5R ceramic capacitors |
| Integrated 1A switch with 400mV VCE(SAT) | Eliminates external MOSFET; delivers high efficiency at 350mA without heatsinking in ThinSOT-23 |
| –1.255V precision feedback reference | Enables accurate, temperature-stable output regulation without trimming; supports ±1% output tolerance |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1611ES5#TRPBF | 1.4MHz switching, 150mA max output at –5V, no dual-inductor topology | Lower power, higher ripple; lacks LT1931ES5#TRPBF's 350mA capability and ultra-low noise performance | Select when cost-sensitive, lower-current bias is acceptable and board space permits larger filter components |
| LT1930ES5#TRPBF | Buck topology (positive output), 450mA at 5V from 3.3V input; same package and pinout but non-inverting | Cannot replace LT1931ES5#TRPBF in negative-rail applications; functionally distinct architecture | Choose only for positive-output requirements; not a functional substitute for inverting use cases |
Compared with LT1611ES5#TRPBF, LT1931ES5#TRPBF delivers >2× output current and 70% lower ripple using identical footprint; versus LT1930ES5#TRPBF, it provides complementary functionality-negative vs. positive regulation-with no shared application overlap.

FAQ
What is the switching frequency of the LT1931ES5#TRPBF?
The LT1931ES5#TRPBF operates at a fixed 1.2MHz switching frequency. This high frequency enables the use of miniature surface-mount inductors (e.g., 10µH coupled types) and low-ESR ceramic capacitors, minimizing solution size and cost. Unlike the LT1931A variant, the LT1931ES5#TRPBF does not support 2.2MHz operation-its frequency is factory-trimmed and non-adjustable.
Can the LT1931ES5#TRPBF generate –12V from a 5V input?
Yes, the LT1931ES5#TRPBF can deliver –12V at 150mA from a 5V input, as confirmed in the datasheet's typical application circuits and electrical characteristics. This capability relies on its 84% maximum duty cycle and 36V-rated internal switch, which supports up to 34V VIN-to-VOUT differential. Proper selection of feedback resistors (e.g., R1 = 84.5kΩ, R2 = 10kΩ) and low-DCR inductors (e.g., Sumida CLS62-100) is required.
What package type does the LT1931ES5#TRPBF use?
The LT1931ES5#TRPBF uses the 5-lead ThinSOT-23 (TSOT-23) package, measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.0mm max height. It is RoHS-compliant, lead-free (#PBF suffix), supplied in tape-and-reel (#TRPBF), and JEDEC MO-193 registered. Pin 1 is SW, Pin 2 is GND, Pin 3 is NFB, Pin 4 is SHDN, and Pin 5 is VIN-identical pinout to LT1611 for drop-in replacement.
Does the LT1931ES5#TRPBF require external compensation?
The LT1931ES5#TRPBF is internally compensated for standard dual-inductor inverting configurations but supports optional phase-lead compensation via capacitor C4 (e.g., 220pF) across R1 in the feedback divider. This improves phase margin and damps output voltage overshoot during load transients, as demonstrated in Figures 3–4 of the datasheet. No compensation is needed for basic operation with ceramic output capacitors.
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LT1931ES5#TRPBF?
The absolute maximum input voltage for the LT1931ES5#TRPBF is 16V, with recommended operating range from 2.6V to 16V. Its 36V-rated internal switch allows VIN–VOUT differentials up to 34V, enabling robust operation even when generating deeply negative outputs (e.g., –12V from 5V or –33V from 12V). Exceeding 16V on VIN risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
