Product details
Overview
LT1933IDCB#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, housed in a 6-lead 2mm × 3mm DFN 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 regulation in automotive battery, industrial control, and wall transformer applications.
For engineers reviewing the LT1933IDCB#TRPBF datasheet, LT1933IDCB#TRPBF pinout, LT1933IDCB#TRPBF application, or LT1933IDCB#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its fixed 500kHz switching frequency, 1.245V feedback reference, BOOST pin voltage requirements, thermal performance in the DCB package (θJC = 12°C/W), and compatibility with ceramic input/output capacitors for low-ripple, space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The LT1933IDCB#TRPBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control using an internal RS flip-flop oscillator and slope-compensated current sensing. Its error amplifier servo-controls the VC node to regulate the FB pin at 1.245V, directly setting output voltage via external resistor divider (VOUT = 1.245V × (1 + R1/R2)).
Operation relies on external BOOST circuitry (diode + capacitor) to generate >VIN drive voltage for the internal bipolar switch, ensuring saturation and low VCESAT (~370mV at 400mA). Frequency foldback activates below ~55kHz when FB voltage drops, limiting output current during startup or overload.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.6V to 36V - supports unregulated wall adapters, 24V industrial rails, and automotive batteries with cold-crank margin. |
| Switching Frequency | 500kHz (typical) - enables use of small 22μH inductors and 2.2μF ceramic input capacitors. |
| Output Current | 600mA continuous - verified at 3.3V from 12–36V input and 5V from 16–36V input per datasheet test conditions. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.245V (±20mV over temp) - sets precise output voltage with external resistive divider; R2 ≤ 20kΩ recommended. |
| Shutdown Current | <2μA - ensures true output disconnect and ultra-low quiescent drain in battery-powered systems. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - rated for extended industrial and under-hood automotive environments. |
| Package Thermal Resistance | θJC = 12°C/W - exposed pad (Pin 7) must be soldered to PCB ground plane for effective junction-to-case heat transfer. |
Pinout & Package
LT1933IDCB#TRPBF uses a 6-lead (2mm × 3mm × 0.75mm) plastic DFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 7, GND). The exposed pad is electrically connected to ground and must be soldered to the PCB for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BOOST (Pin 1) | Charge pump driver supply | Accepts externally generated voltage ≥2.3V above SW to fully saturate internal bipolar switch; max 43V absolute rating. |
| GND (Pin 2 & Exposed Pad Pin 7) | Power and signal reference | Primary ground return for internal regulator, feedback divider, and thermal path; exposed pad is mandatory GND connection. |
| FB (Pin 3) | Voltage feedback input | Servo point regulated to 1.245V; connects to resistor divider tap between VOUT and GND to set output voltage. |
| SHDN (Pin 4) | Enable/soft-start control | Logic-high (≥2.3V) enables operation; grounded disables converter and reduces IQ to <2μA; RC ramp enables controlled start-up. |
| VIN (Pin 5) | Main power input | Supplies internal regulator and switch driver; requires local 2.2μF ceramic bypass placed adjacent to pin. |
| SW (Pin 6) | Switch node output | Connects to inductor, catch diode cathode, and BOOST capacitor anode; carries high di/dt switching current. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internally compensated current-mode control | Eliminates need for external compensation components; stable with ceramic output capacitors (no ESR dependency). |
| Cycle-by-cycle current limit | Protects against shorted outputs by limiting peak switch current to 0.75A (min), with slope compensation reducing limit at high duty cycles. |
| Soft-start via SHDN pin | External RC network on SHDN generates controlled voltage ramp, limiting inrush current and preventing output overshoot. |
| Low-profile DFN package | 2mm × 3mm footprint with 0.75mm height and exposed thermal pad - optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts. |
| Wide input range with UVLO | Undervoltage lockout activates below ~3.35V, preventing erratic operation during brownout or startup from weak sources. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMR14020SQDDARQ1 | 40V input, 2A MOSFET-based buck; requires external compensation; higher IQ (26μA shutdown). | Automotive AEC-Q100 qualified; supports higher current loads but larger solution size. | Choose for AEC-Q100 compliance and >600mA demand; avoid if DFN footprint or <2μA shutdown is mandatory. |
| TPS54202DRCT | 6V–17V input, 2A integrated FET; 500kHz sync capability; 2.5μA shutdown; requires external compensation. | Lower input range; optimized for 12V rail conversion; no BOOST pin dependency. | Choose for cost-sensitive 12V systems where input never exceeds 17V; not suitable for 24V industrial or automotive battery inputs. |
Compared with LMR14020SQDDARQ1 and TPS54202DRCT, the LT1933IDCB#TRPBF offers unique combination of ultra-low shutdown current, bipolar switch architecture enabling wide VIN (3.6–36V), and internal compensation - making it optimal for space- and quiescent-current-constrained industrial and automotive auxiliary supplies where external compensation complexity must be avoided.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LT1933IDCB#TRPBF?
The LT1933IDCB#TRPBF delivers up to 600mA continuously at 3.3V output from a 12–36V input, and 600mA at 5V from a 16–36V input, as validated in the datasheet's typical applications. Peak switch current is limited to 0.75A minimum, and actual achievable output depends on thermal design, inductor selection, and ambient temperature. At 125°C junction temperature, derating applies per thermal resistance data (θJC = 12°C/W).
Does the LT1933IDCB#TRPBF require external compensation components?
No, the LT1933IDCB#TRPBF is internally compensated and does not require external compensation components. Its current-mode architecture eliminates dependency on output capacitor ESR for stability, allowing direct use with low-ESR ceramic capacitors. This simplifies design and reduces bill-of-materials count compared to voltage-mode controllers requiring RC networks on the compensation pin.
How is the output voltage set on the LT1933IDCB#TRPBF?
The output voltage of the LT1933IDCB#TRPBF is set using a resistive divider connected between VOUT and GND, with the FB pin (Pin 3) tied to the divider midpoint. The device regulates FB to 1.245V, so VOUT = 1.245V × (1 + R1/R2). A standard value for R2 is 10kΩ; R1 is calculated accordingly. R2 should be ≤20kΩ to minimize bias current error, as FB pin bias current is specified at 40–120nA.
What is the role of the BOOST pin on the LT1933IDCB#TRPBF?
The BOOST pin (Pin 1) on the LT1933IDCB#TRPBF provides gate drive voltage higher than VIN to fully saturate the internal bipolar NPN power switch. It is charged via an external diode and capacitor (e.g., 0.1μF + 1N4148) from the SW node. BOOST must remain ≥2.3V above SW for optimal efficiency; exceeding 43V absolute maximum rating risks damage. This architecture enables high efficiency across the full 3.6–36V input range.
Can the LT1933IDCB#TRPBF operate with ceramic input and output capacitors?
Yes, the LT1933IDCB#TRPBF is explicitly designed for ceramic capacitors: a minimum 2.2μF X7R/X5R ceramic is required at VIN, and ceramic output capacitors (e.g., 22μF for 3.3V) are recommended for low ripple and fast transient response. Its current-mode control and internal compensation ensure stability without relying on capacitor ESR - unlike many older buck controllers that require tantalum or aluminum electrolytics for phase margin.
