Product details
Overview
LT1931IS5#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-power, fixed-frequency inverting DC/DC converter IC with integrated 1A switch, operating at 1.2MHz. It delivers –5V at 350mA or –12V at 150mA from a 5V input within a 5-lead ThinSOT™ package, targeting compact negative bias generation in imaging and analog signal chains.
For engineers reviewing the LT1931IS5#TRPBF datasheet, LT1931IS5#TRPBF pinout, LT1931IS5#TRPBF application, or LT1931IS5#TRPBF equivalent, this device offers verified low-noise (1mVP-P ripple), wide 2.6V–16V input range, <1µA shutdown current, and dual-inductor topology for simultaneous input/output filtering - critical for MR head bias, CCD bias, and GaAs FET applications requiring stable local negative supplies.
Technical Context
The LT1931IS5#TRPBF employs constant-frequency current-mode control with a 1.2MHz oscillator, enabling precise regulation and fast transient response. Its dual inductor inverting topology inherently filters both input and output currents, supporting ultra-low output ripple when paired with ceramic capacitors.
It integrates a 36V-rated switch with 400mV VCE(SAT) at 1A and features a –1.255V feedback reference referenced to VOUT, allowing accurate output voltage setting via external resistor divider. The device operates across –40°C to +85°C and supports up to 34V VIN-to-VOUT differential.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 1.2MHz - enables use of sub-3mm-height inductors and low-ESR ceramic capacitors for space-constrained designs |
| Output Voltage Range | –5V @ 350mA or –12V @ 150mA from 5V input - supports common analog bias rails without external pass devices |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.6V to 16V - accommodates single-cell Li-ion, USB, and industrial 12V supply inputs |
| Feedback Reference | –1.255V - precision reference enables stable output regulation with ±1% tolerance over temperature |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - ensures negligible battery drain in portable systems during standby |
| Switch VCE(SAT) | 400mV at 1A - minimizes conduction loss and thermal rise in high-current inverting topologies |
| Output Ripple | 1mVP-P - achieved with ceramic output caps; critical for noise-sensitive analog circuits like CCDs and MR heads |
Pinout & Package
LT1931IS5#TRPBF is housed in a 5-lead ThinSOT™ (TSOT-23) package, 1mm profile, JEDEC MO-193 compliant. Pin 1 (SW) connects to inductor/diode node; Pin 2 (GND) requires direct local ground plane tie; Pin 3 (NFB) sources bias current for feedback divider; Pin 4 (SHDN) enables/disables operation with logic-level control; Pin 5 (VIN) accepts input supply with local bypassing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pin 1) | Switch collector node | Connects to coupled/uncoupled inductor and Schottky diode cathode; high dI/dt node requiring minimal trace area |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power and signal ground reference | Must be tied directly to local ground plane to maintain stability and minimize EMI coupling |
| NFB (Pin 3) | Inverting error amplifier input | Sources 4–8µA bias current; connects to resistive divider tap to set output voltage with –1.255V reference |
| SHDN (Pin 4) | Enable/disable control input | Logic-high ≥2.4V enables operation; grounded or ≤0.5V places device in ultra-low-IQ shutdown mode |
| VIN (Pin 5) | Main power input | Accepts 2.6–16V; requires local 1–4.7µF ceramic decoupling capacitor 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1931AIS5#TRPBF | 2.2MHz switching frequency, 75% max duty cycle, 300mA @ –5V (vs. 350mA), lower inductor size requirement | Better suited for ultra-compact designs where board area is constrained more than efficiency or output current | Select LT1931AIS5#TRPBF when using ≤4.7µH coupled inductors and prioritizing solution miniaturization over peak current capability |
| LT1611ES5#TRPBF | 1.4MHz, 150mA @ –5V, no integrated 1A switch - requires external transistor; higher quiescent current (12mA vs. 6mA) | Legacy option for lower-power bias rails where cost sensitivity outweighs size and efficiency demands | Choose LT1611ES5#TRPBF only if existing design uses it and upgrade path is limited; LT1931IS5#TRPBF provides 2.3× higher output current in same footprint |
Compared with LT1931AIS5#TRPBF, LT1931IS5#TRPBF delivers higher output current and lower EMI due to its 1.2MHz frequency, while LT1611ES5#TRPBF lacks integrated switching and cannot match the power density or noise performance of LT1931IS5#TRPBF in modern imaging or RF bias applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LT1931IS5#TRPBF?
The LT1931IS5#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 16V. Operation above this level risks permanent damage to the internal 36V-rated switch and control circuitry. For reliable long-term use, the recommended operating range is 2.6V to 16V, with derating advised near the upper limit under high ambient temperature conditions. Always verify VIN-to-VOUT differential does not exceed 34V.
Can LT1931IS5#TRPBF generate –12V from a 5V input, and what is the maximum load current?
Yes, the LT1931IS5#TRPBF is specified to deliver –12V at up to 150mA from a 5V input, as confirmed in the datasheet's Typical Applications section (Figure 1931 TA02). This performance assumes proper layout, recommended components (e.g., Sumida CLS62-100 inductors, ON Semiconductor MBR0520 diode), and ceramic output capacitance. Efficiency drops at higher loads, so thermal design must accommodate ~75% efficiency at full 150mA.
What is the feedback reference voltage of LT1931IS5#TRPBF, and how is output voltage set?
The LT1931IS5#TRPBF uses a precision –1.255V feedback reference voltage at the NFB pin. Output voltage is set using a resistive divider between VOUT and GND, with the divider tap connected to NFB. For example, to achieve –5V output, R1 = 29.4kΩ and R2 = 10kΩ yields VOUT = –1.255V × (1 + R1/R2). The NFB pin sources 4–8µA bias current, so resistor values must balance accuracy and current-induced error.
Does LT1931IS5#TRPBF require external compensation components?
No, the LT1931IS5#TRPBF uses internal compensation and is stable with standard ceramic output capacitors. However, a phase-lead capacitor (e.g., 220pF) may be added across R1 in the feedback divider to improve transient response damping - as shown in Figure 1 and validated in Figures 1931 F03–F04. This optional network enhances phase margin without altering basic loop stability.
Is LT1931IS5#TRPBF pin-compatible with LT1611, and what are the key functional improvements?
Yes, LT1931IS5#TRPBF is pin-for-pin compatible with LT1611 per the datasheet's feature list. Key improvements include: integrated 1A switch (vs. external transistor in LT1611), 2.3× higher output current (350mA vs. 150mA at –5V), 1mVP-P output ripple (vs. ~10mV for LT1611), and lower quiescent current (6mA vs. 12mA). These enable direct drop-in upgrades in existing LT1611-based bias supplies.
