Product details
Overview
LT1956IGN#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-voltage, current-mode 500kHz synchronous step-down switching regulator with 5.5V–60V input range, 1.5A peak switch current, 0.2Ω on-resistance, and fixed 5V output. It integrates a bipolar NPN power switch, oscillator, error amplifier, and cycle-by-cycle current limiting, targeting industrial power supplies and battery-charged systems requiring robust overvoltage tolerance.
For engineers reviewing the LT1956IGN#TRPBF datasheet, LT1956IGN#TRPBF pinout, LT1956IGN#TRPBF application, or LT1956IGN#TRPBF equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications including 5V fixed output, thermal-enhanced TSSOP-16 package, shutdown current ≤75µA, 580–700kHz synchronization capability, and guaranteed –40°C to 125°C operation - all confirmed from official Linear Technology documentation.
Technical Context
The LT1956IGN#TRPBF implements a constant-frequency current-mode control architecture with dual feedback loops: one for output voltage regulation via the SENSE pin (5V fixed), another for cycle-by-cycle switch current monitoring. Its patented circuitry maintains 1.5A peak switch current across full duty cycle range without slope compensation degradation.
It uses BOOST pin-driven saturation of the internal NPN switch to achieve 0.2Ω effective on-resistance, while BIAS pin connection to VOUT improves efficiency at high VIN-to-VOUT ratios. The SHDN pin provides dual-threshold control: 2.38V UVLO and 0.4V deep shutdown, reducing supply current to 25µA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5V ±1.2% (guaranteed 4.94V–5.06V over temperature) |
| Input Voltage Range | 5.5V to 60V - supports 48V industrial rails and automotive transients |
| Switch Current Limit | 1.5A minimum peak - maintained across full duty cycle, enabling high-step-down ratios |
| Switch On Resistance | 0.2Ω typical - enables low conduction loss at 1.5A, reducing thermal stress |
| Switching Frequency | 500kHz ±10% - fixed frequency simplifies EMI filtering; synchronizable 580–700kHz |
| Shutdown Current | 25µA typical - ensures ultra-low standby power in battery-backed systems |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for extended industrial and automotive under-hood use |
Pinout & Package
LT1956IGN#TRPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 16-pin TSSOP package (exposed pad soldered to ground plane), optimized for high-power density and thermal dissipation in space-constrained industrial designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 1, 8, 9, 16) | Power and signal reference | Four dedicated ground pins minimize ground bounce; exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for θJC = 10°C/W |
| SW (Pin 2) | Switch emitter node | Connects to inductor; driven to VIN during on-time; clamped negative to –0.8V during off-time |
| VIN (Pin 4) | Switch collector & bias source | Supplies internal circuitry when BIAS pin is unconnected; handles high dI/dt edges |
| BOOST (Pin 6) | Switch driver voltage boost | Requires external capacitor/diode to generate >VIN voltage, enabling NPN saturation and 0.2Ω RON |
| SHDN (Pin 15) | Enable/disable control | Dual-threshold: 2.38V disables switching (UVLO), 0.4V forces 25µA shutdown mode |
| SYNC (Pin 14) | External clock input | Logic-compatible; accepts 580–700kHz square wave with 10–90% duty cycle |
| SENSE (Pin 12) | Output voltage feedback | Direct connection to 5V output; internal divider eliminates external resistors; <0.6V triggers foldback current limit |
| VC (Pin 11) | Error amplifier output | Drives current comparator; used for loop compensation; clamped at 2.1V max; sinks 4mA max |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Patented duty-cycle-independent current limit | Maintains 1.5A peak switch current up to 90% duty cycle - avoids derating in high-VIN/low-VOUT applications |
| Integrated 5V fixed-output feedback network | Eliminates external resistor divider; reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity vs adjustable variants |
| BOOST-assisted NPN saturation | Enables 0.2Ω effective switch resistance using compact bipolar die - superior area efficiency vs MOSFET alternatives |
| Frequency and current foldback protection | Reduces switching frequency to ~100kHz and limits current to <1A when SENSE <0.6V - limits power dissipation during short-circuit |
| Thermally enhanced TSSOP-16 | θJC = 10°C/W (via exposed pad) - supports 1.5A continuous operation without heatsink in 4-layer PCBs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3642EMSE-5#PBF | 40V max input, 2A switch, 3mm × 4mm MSOP-10, integrated MOSFETs, no BOOST pin required | Better suited for space-constrained designs below 40V; lacks 60V transient tolerance and external sync capability | Select if input stays ≤40V and board area is critical; avoid for 48V+ industrial use. |
| LM5164QDGSRQ1 | 65V max input, 1A switch, 1.5MHz switching, integrated high-side FET, AEC-Q100 qualified | Designed for automotive; lower current rating requires parallel design for >1A loads; higher frequency increases EMI filtering complexity | Prefer for automotive-grade programs needing AEC-Q100; verify 1A limit suffices for peak load. |
Compared with LTC3642EMSE-5#PBF and LM5164QDGSRQ1, LT1956IGN#TRPBF uniquely combines 60V input rating, 1.5A current, fixed 5V output, and external synchronization in a thermally enhanced TSSOP - making it optimal for ruggedized industrial 48V-to-5V conversion where transient immunity and thermal headroom are prioritized over footprint size.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LT1956IGN#TRPBF?
The LT1956IGN#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 60V, with guaranteed operation from 5.5V to 60V. This allows direct use with 48V industrial rails and compatibility with ISO 7637-2 automotive load-dump transients. Exceeding 60V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Does LT1956IGN#TRPBF require external feedback resistors for 5V output?
No. LT1956IGN#TRPBF integrates the feedback divider for its fixed 5V output; Pin 12 functions as SENSE and connects directly to the output. External resistors are unnecessary - unlike the adjustable LT1956 variant which uses FB pin with external divider.
How does the BOOST pin function in LT1956IGN#TRPBF?
The BOOST pin on LT1956IGN#TRPBF supplies a voltage higher than VIN to the internal NPN switch driver, enabling saturation and achieving 0.2Ω effective on-resistance. It requires an external bootstrap capacitor and diode (e.g., MMSD914) connected between SW and BOOST to generate the boosted drive voltage.
What thermal performance can be expected from LT1956IGN#TRPBF in TSSOP package?
With the exposed pad of the LT1956IGN#TRPBF's TSSOP-16 package soldered to a 4-layer PCB ground plane, thermal resistance is θJC = 10°C/W and θJA = 45°C/W. This supports continuous 1.5A operation at 25°C ambient without additional heatsinking, per Linear's FE package characterization.
Can LT1956IGN#TRPBF synchronize to an external clock?
Yes. LT1956IGN#TRPBF accepts logic-level signals on Pin 14 (SYNC) across 580kHz–700kHz, enabling EMI reduction through frequency alignment. The SYNC input has 20kΩ impedance and requires ≥1.5V amplitude; unused SYNC must be tied to GND to prevent noise coupling.
