Product details
Overview
LT1933ES6#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 500kHz, current-mode PWM step-down DC/DC converter with an integrated 0.75A bipolar NPN power switch in a 6-lead TSOT-23 package. It operates from 3.6V to 36V input, delivers up to 600mA at 3.3V or 5V output, and features internal compensation, soft-start, and <2μA shutdown current - enabling compact, efficient power regulation in space-constrained industrial and automotive systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT1933ES6#TRPBF datasheet, LT1933ES6#TRPBF pinout, LT1933ES6#TRPBF application, or LT1933ES6#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its fixed 500kHz switching frequency, 1.245V feedback reference, BOOST pin drive architecture for high-side switch saturation, –40°C to 85°C operating range, and compatibility with ceramic input/output capacitors and low-DCR inductors in minimal-footprint designs.
Technical Context
The LT1933ES6#TRPBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control using an internal RS flip-flop oscillator and slope-compensated current sensing. Its VC node serves as the error amplifier output and current limit clamp point, with active soft-start implemented via SHDN pin voltage ramping.
Operation relies on external BOOST capacitor–diode network to generate >VIN gate drive for the internal bipolar switch; minimum BOOST-to-SW voltage must exceed 1.9V for full saturation. Frequency foldback activates below ~55kHz when FB voltage drops, improving overload robustness during startup or short-circuit conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.6V to 36V - supports unregulated wall adapters, 24V industrial rails, and automotive battery inputs with transient tolerance up to 36V. |
| Switching Frequency | 500kHz (typical), 400–600kHz (min–max) - enables use of small 22–33μH inductors and 2.2–22μF ceramic capacitors without EMI filtering penalties. |
| Output Current | 600mA continuous - achievable at 3.3V (12–36V input) or 5V (16–36V input); limited by thermal resistance (θJA = 165°C/W) and internal 0.75A switch current limit. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.245V (±20mV over temp) - sets output voltage via resistor divider (VOUT = 1.245V × (1 + R1/R2)); enables adjustable outputs down to 1.25V. |
| Shutdown Current | <2μA - provides true output disconnect for battery-powered systems; SHDN pin threshold is 2.3V (high) / 0.3V (low). |
| Package & Temp Range | S6 (TSOT-23, 6-lead, 1mm height) with –40°C to +85°C operation - RoHS-compliant, lead-free, tape-and-reel packaged for automated assembly. |
Pinout & Package
LT1933ES6#TRPBF uses the S6 package: 6-lead Plastic TSOT-23, 1mm profile, exposed pad not present (unlike DFN variants). Pin 1 is BOOST, Pin 2 is GND, Pin 3 is FB, Pin 4 is SHDN, Pin 5 is VIN, Pin 6 is SW - arranged in standard TSOT-23 top-view order with no exposed thermal pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BOOST (Pin 1) | Charge pump drive node | Supplies elevated gate drive to internal bipolar switch; requires external 0.1μF capacitor + fast diode (e.g., 1N4148) tied to SW; must be ≥1.9V above SW for full saturation. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power and signal reference | Primary ground return for internal regulator, error amp, and current sense; connects to local PCB ground plane under IC body. |
| FB (Pin 3) | Output voltage sense input | Regulated to 1.245V; connects to resistor divider midpoint; bias current ≤120nA ensures accuracy with R2 ≤10kΩ. |
| SHDN (Pin 4) | Enable/soft-start control | Logic-high (≥2.3V) enables operation; grounded disables output and reduces quiescent current to <2μA; RC ramp here implements controlled start-up. |
| VIN (Pin 5) | Main power input | Supplies internal LDO and switch driver; must be bypassed with ≥2.2μF X7R/X5R ceramic placed adjacent to pin. |
| SW (Pin 6) | Switch node | Drives external inductor and catch diode; carries pulsed current up to 0.75A; voltage swing ranges from ~0.4V (saturation) to VIN + VOUT (boost phase). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internally compensated current-mode control | Eliminates need for external compensation components; stable with ceramic output capacitors (no ESR dependency), simplifying layout and reducing BOM count. |
| Cycle-by-cycle current limiting | Protects against shorted outputs using real-time inductor current monitoring; clamps at 0.75A typical, with slope compensation preventing subharmonic oscillation above 50% duty cycle. |
| Soft-start via SHDN pin | Enables controlled output voltage ramp-up by applying RC-filtered voltage to SHDN; prevents input surge and output overshoot during power-on. |
| Wide input range with UVLO | Undervoltage lockout triggers at ~3.35V, preventing erratic operation during brownout; allows direct use with 24V industrial supplies and automotive batteries (9–16V nominal). |
| Low-profile TSOT-23 packaging | 6-lead, 1mm height, footprint compatible with standard SOT-23 pick-and-place equipment; thermal performance optimized for ambient-limited applications without heatsinking. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3652IMSE#TRPBF | 42V input, 2A switch, synchronous rectification, programmable charge termination - designed for battery charging, not general-purpose buck conversion. | Targeted at Li-ion/Pb-acid charging systems; lacks adjustable FB reference and BOOST pin architecture of LT1933ES6#TRPBF. | Select only if battery charging functionality is required; not drop-in for generic 3.3V/5V point-of-load use. |
| TPS54302DDCR | 28V input, 3A switch, integrated MOSFETs, 500kHz fixed frequency, 1.22V reference - uses CMOS FETs instead of bipolar, lower quiescent current (18μA), no BOOST pin. | Better light-load efficiency and smaller solution size; requires external compensation; incompatible pinout and control architecture. | Prefer for higher-current, lower-IQ designs where bipolar switch limitations (e.g., VCE(sat)) are unacceptable; not pin-compatible. |
Compared with LT3652IMSE#TRPBF and TPS54302DDCR, the LT1933ES6#TRPBF offers unique bipolar-switch architecture with BOOST-driven saturation, making it especially suitable for cost-sensitive, medium-current industrial supplies where predictable 0.75A current limit and simple external component count outweigh the need for synchronous efficiency or battery-specific features.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the LT1933ES6#TRPBF?
The LT1933ES6#TRPBF delivers up to 600mA continuously at 3.3V output (12–36V input) or 5V output (16–36V input), limited by internal 0.75A switch current limit and thermal dissipation in the TSOT-23 package (θJA = 165°C/W). Derating is required above 70°C ambient; full 600mA is guaranteed at TA ≤ 85°C with adequate PCB copper.
Does the LT1933ES6#TRPBF require an external BOOST capacitor and diode?
Yes - the LT1933ES6#TRPBF requires an external BOOST capacitor (typically 0.1μF) and fast diode (e.g., 1N4148) connected between VIN and BOOST, and BOOST to SW. This network generates gate drive voltage >VIN to fully saturate the internal bipolar NPN switch; omission causes excessive conduction loss and thermal failure.
Can the LT1933ES6#TRPBF operate from a 5V input to produce 3.3V output?
Yes - the LT1933ES6#TRPBF supports 3.3V at 500mA from 4.5V to 36V input per datasheet specifications. At 5V input, minimum duty cycle (~13%) and BOOST circuit startup behavior must be verified; Figure 3b confirms reliable operation above 5.5V input for 5V output, but 5V input is feasible with proper soft-start and light load.
What is the purpose of the SHDN pin on the LT1933ES6#TRPBF beyond enable/disable control?
Beyond enable/disable, the SHDN pin on the LT1933ES6#TRPBF implements soft-start: applying a slow-rising voltage (via RC network) to SHDN ramps the internal error amplifier reference, controlling output voltage rise time and limiting inrush current. This prevents input surge and output overshoot during power-up - critical in systems with large output capacitance or sensitive downstream loads.
Is the LT1933ES6#TRPBF pin-compatible with other LT1933 variants like LT1933ES6#PBF or LT1933IS6#TRPBF?
Yes - all LT1933ES6#TRPBF, LT1933ES6#PBF, LT1933IS6#TRPBF, and LT1933IS6#PBF share identical S6 (TSOT-23) package pinout and footprint. Differences lie only in temperature grade (E = –40°C to 85°C, I = –40°C to 125°C) and packaging (TRPBF = lead-free tape-and-reel, PBF = lead-free bulk), not electrical or mechanical interface.
