Product details
Overview
LT1933IS6#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 600mA, 500kHz current-mode PWM step-down DC/DC converter with internal 0.75A bipolar NPN power switch, housed in a 6-lead TSOT-23 package. It operates from 3.6V to 36V input, regulates fixed or adjustable outputs down to 1.25V, and delivers up to 600mA at 3.3V from 12–36V input-ideal for automotive battery regulation and industrial control supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LT1933IS6#TRPBF datasheet, LT1933IS6#TRPBF pinout, LT1933IS6#TRPBF application, or LT1933IS6#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its –40°C to 125°C operating temperature range, <2μA shutdown current, internally compensated architecture, 500kHz fixed switching frequency, and compatibility with ceramic output capacitors for low-ripple, space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The LT1933IS6#TRPBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control with cycle-by-cycle current limiting and frequency foldback during overload. Its internal bipolar NPN switch requires BOOST pin voltage ≥2.3V above SW for saturation, enabled by external diode-capacitor charge pump.
Soft-start is implemented via SHDN pin voltage ramping; undervoltage lockout (~3.35V) prevents operation below minimum input threshold. The error amplifier servo-controls the VC node to maintain 1.245V on FB, enabling output adjustment via resistor divider while eliminating need for output capacitor ESR in loop compensation.
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 transient tolerance up to 36V. |
| Switching Frequency | 500kHz (typical) - enables use of small 22μH inductors and 2.2μF ceramic input capacitors for compact, low-EMI layouts. |
| Output Current | 600mA continuous - sustained at 3.3V output from 12–36V input; limited by thermal performance in SOT-23 package (θJA = 165°C/W). |
| Feedback Reference | 1.245V (±20mV) - sets output voltage via external resistor divider; allows adjustable outputs down to 1.25V with high accuracy. |
| Shutdown Current | <2μA - provides true output disconnect for battery-powered systems requiring ultra-low quiescent power. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 125°C - qualified for extended industrial and automotive under-hood applications. |
| Current Limit | 0.75A (min) - protects against shorted outputs and startup surges; slope-compensated for stability across duty cycles. |
Pinout & Package
LT1933IS6#TRPBF uses the 6-lead Plastic TSOT-23 (S6) package, 1mm profile, with 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.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BOOST (Pin 1) | Charge-pump drive node | Supplies boosted gate drive voltage ≥2.3V above SW to fully saturate internal bipolar NPN switch; requires external 0.1μF capacitor + fast diode (e.g., 1N4148). |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power and signal reference | Primary ground return for internal regulator, feedback divider, and control circuitry; must connect to local ground plane. |
| FB (Pin 3) | Voltage sense input | Regulated to 1.245V; sets output via R1/R2 divider; bias current ≤120nA minimizes divider error. |
| SHDN (Pin 4) | Enable/soft-start control | Logic-high (≥2.3V) enables operation; grounded disables output and reduces IQ to <2μA; RC ramp enables controlled soft-start. |
| VIN (Pin 5) | Main power input | Supplies internal regulator and switch driver; requires local 2.2μF X7R/X5R ceramic bypass placed adjacent to pin. |
| SW (Pin 6) | Switch node | Connects to inductor, catch diode cathode, and BOOST capacitor anode; carries pulsed current up to 0.75A with ~370mV VCE(sat) at 400mA. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internally compensated | Eliminates external compensation components; stable with ceramic output capacitors (no ESR dependency), reducing BOM count and board area. |
| Cycle-by-cycle current limit | Prevents damage during output shorts or overloads without external sensing; integrates seamlessly with current-mode control loop. |
| Soft-start via SHDN pin | Enables controlled inrush current management using external RC network-critical for systems with large input capacitance or weak supplies. |
| Low-profile TSOT-23 package | 6-lead, 1mm height package enables ultra-compact point-of-load regulation in space-constrained industrial and automotive PCBs. |
| Wide input range (3.6V–36V) | Supports direct connection to 12V/24V vehicle batteries and industrial supplies without pre-regulation, simplifying power architecture. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down DC/DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3605EDE#TRPBF | 4MHz synchronous buck, 600mA, 2.5–5.5V input, integrated MOSFETs, 16-pin DFN | Requires lower input voltage; suited for post-regulation from 3.3V/5V rails-not direct replacement for 3.6–36V primary conversion | Select when higher efficiency, smaller inductors, and synchronous rectification are prioritized over wide-input capability. |
| TPS54302DDAR | 3A synchronous buck, 3.5–28V input, 500kHz, SO-8 package, integrated FETs, 1.221V reference | Higher current rating and SO-8 thermal performance; different pinout and layout requirements; lacks BOOST pin architecture | Choose for higher load demands (>600mA) or where SO-8 footprint and thermal relief are preferred over SOT-23 size constraints. |
Compared with LTC3605EDE#TRPBF and TPS54302DDAR, the LT1933IS6#TRPBF uniquely supports 3.6–36V input in a 6-lead TSOT-23 package with bipolar switch and BOOST-driven architecture-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, wide-input, space-constrained primary regulation where synchronous efficiency is secondary to simplicity and ruggedness.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LT1933IS6#TRPBF?
The LT1933IS6#TRPBF delivers up to 600mA continuous output current at 3.3V from a 12–36V input, and 500mA at 3.3V from 4.5–36V input. Actual achievable current depends on ambient temperature, PCB copper area, and input/output voltage differential-thermal limits in the TSOT-23 package constrain sustained operation above 600mA without significant derating.
Does the LT1933IS6#TRPBF require an external catch diode?
Yes, the LT1933IS6#TRPBF requires an external Schottky catch diode (e.g., MBRM140 or MBR0540) connected between SW and GND. Unlike synchronous buck converters, it uses an internal bipolar NPN switch and relies on this external diode for inductor current path during switch-off periods-omitting it will cause failure.
Can the LT1933IS6#TRPBF operate from a 5V input?
Yes, the LT1933IS6#TRPBF can operate from a 5V input when configured for 3.3V output (minimum input per datasheet is ~4.5V for 3.3V output). However, at low VIN–VOUT differentials, BOOST pin voltage margin shrinks-use Figure 2b configuration (BOOST tied to VIN) and verify VBOOST–VSW ≥2.3V under load to ensure switch saturation.
What is the purpose of the BOOST pin on the LT1933IS6#TRPBF?
The BOOST pin on the LT1933IS6#TRPBF supplies elevated gate drive voltage to the internal bipolar NPN power switch, ensuring full saturation and low conduction loss. It must be ≥2.3V above the SW pin voltage-achieved via external diode-capacitor charge pump-and is critical for efficiency across the full 3.6–36V input range.
Is the LT1933IS6#TRPBF pin-compatible with other LT1933 variants like LT1933ES6#TRPBF?
Yes, the LT1933IS6#TRPBF shares identical pinout, package dimensions, and electrical interface with all S6-package LT1933 variants (e.g., LT1933ES6#TRPBF, LT1933HS6#TRPBF); only the guaranteed operating temperature range differs-LT1933IS6#TRPBF is rated for –40°C to 125°C, while LT1933ES6#TRPBF is rated for –40°C to 85°C.
