Product details
Overview
LT3048IDC-12#TRMPBF from Analog Devices is a dual-stage low-noise bias generator integrating a 2.2MHz fixed-frequency boost regulator and a low-dropout linear regulator in an 8-lead 2mm × 2mm DFN package. It delivers a precise 12V output at up to 31mA from a 2.7V–4.8V single-cell Li-ion input, achieving <60µVRMS noise (10Hz–100kHz) with 1nF BYP capacitor and >53dB ripple rejection at 2.2MHz - ideal for powering high-precision op amps and analog sensors.
For engineers reviewing the LT3048IDC-12#TRMPBF datasheet, LT3048IDC-12#TRMPBF pinout, LT3048IDC-12#TRMPBF application, or LT3048IDC-12#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 12V output, integrated Schottky diode, load disconnect in shutdown, thermal/short-circuit protection, and compatibility with small 10µH inductors and ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The LT3048IDC-12#TRMPBF employs peak current-mode control in its boost stage, regulating BSTOUT to 1.1V above LDOOUT (13.1V nominal), optimizing LDO transient response and PSRR. Its 2.2MHz switching frequency enables use of compact 10µH inductors while maintaining stable operation across –40°C to 125°C junction temperature.
The integrated LDO operates with 1.235V internal reference and achieves 0.1% load regulation (±20mV over 100µA–31mA), supported by dedicated LDOIN and BSTOUT pins. The BYP pin accepts a 1nF capacitor to reduce output noise and improve soft-start behavior without compromising stability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 12.00V (±1.5% over load/temperature; 11.70V–12.30V min/max) |
| Max Output Current | 31mA continuous - sufficient for biasing multiple precision op amps or MEMS sensors |
| Output Noise | 60µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz, with 1nF BYP capacitor) - enables sub-16-bit ADC reference supply |
| Switching Frequency | 2.2MHz (typical) - allows use of 10µH inductor and minimizes EMI in space-constrained layouts |
| Ripple Rejection | 53dB at 2.2MHz - suppresses boost switching artifacts before LDO output stage |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 4.8V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion (2.8V–4.2V) and regulated 3.3V system rails |
| Quiescent Current | 20µA (LDO stage); 1µA shutdown - preserves battery life in always-on sensor nodes |
Pinout & Package
LT3048IDC-12#TRMPBF is housed in an 8-lead, 2mm × 2mm plastic DFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 9 = GND). The package features 0.45mm pitch, 0.23mm lead width, and requires soldering of the exposed pad to PCB ground for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (1) | Boost switch node | Anode of internal Schottky diode and collector of power transistor; connects to inductor and BSTOUT bypass capacitor |
| VIN (2) | Boost input supply | Accepts 2.7V–4.8V input; must be bypassed to GND with low-ESR ceramic capacitor |
| GND (3) | Power ground | Primary ground return for boost and LDO stages; tied to exposed pad (Pin 9) |
| BYP (4) | Noise reduction terminal | Optional 1nF capacitor to LDOOUT reduces output noise and controls soft-start time |
| LDOOUT (5) | Regulated 12V output | Fixed 12V supply rail; requires ≥1µF ceramic output capacitor with ≤1Ω ESR |
| LDOIN (6) | LDO input supply | Connected internally to BSTOUT; supplies LDO stage at ~13.1V (12V + 1.1V) |
| EN (7) | Enable logic input | Active-high enable; <0.4V disables both regulators and disconnects load (IQ < 1µA) |
| BSTOUT (8) | Boost output rail | Regulated 13.1V output (12V + 1.1V); bypassed to GND with 4.7µF ceramic capacitor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Schottky diode | Eliminates external diode, reducing BOM count and PCB area in boost stage |
| Load disconnect in shutdown | Internal switch isolates LDOOUT from input during EN = low, preventing backfeed |
| Thermal & short-circuit protection | Auto-recovery shutdown prevents damage under overload or ambient >125°C |
| Low-noise BYP interface | 1nF capacitor between LDOOUT and BYP reduces RMS noise by >50% vs. no BYP |
| Stable with ceramic output caps | Guaranteed stability with ≥1µF X5R/X7R ceramics (ESR ≤1Ω), simplifying layout |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed output voltage tolerance for LT3048IDC-12#TRMPBF across temperature and load?
The LT3048IDC-12#TRMPBF guarantees a 12.00V output with ±1.5% total error over –40°C to 125°C junction temperature and 100µA–31mA load current. Electrical characteristics specify 11.70V minimum and 12.30V maximum under full conditions, reflecting combined initial accuracy, load regulation (±20mV), and thermal drift.
Can LT3048IDC-12#TRMPBF operate from a 2.5V input?
No. The LT3048IDC-12#TRMPBF requires a minimum input voltage of 2.7V per absolute maximum ratings and electrical specifications. At 2.5V, the boost regulator cannot sustain the required 13.1V BSTOUT rail (12V + 1.1V), resulting in LDOOUT dropout and unregulated output. Operation below 2.7V is not characterized or guaranteed.
What is the purpose of the BYP pin on LT3048IDC-12#TRMPBF, and what capacitor value is recommended?
The BYP pin on LT3048IDC-12#TRMPBF provides a dedicated connection point for a noise-reduction capacitor between LDOOUT and BYP. A 1nF ceramic capacitor is recommended to reduce output voltage noise by >50% and control soft-start behavior. Leaving BYP unconnected results in higher RMS noise (225µVRMS vs. 60µVRMS) and faster startup.
Does LT3048IDC-12#TRMPBF require an external feedback resistor network?
No. The LT3048IDC-12#TRMPBF is a fixed-output variant - it does not use the FB pin and has no external feedback resistors. Unlike the adjustable LT3048, it integrates internal resistor division to regulate LDOOUT precisely to 12.00V, simplifying design and eliminating resistor tolerance errors.
How does LT3048IDC-12#TRMPBF handle overcurrent or thermal faults?
Under overcurrent or thermal fault conditions, the LT3048IDC-12#TRMPBF enters auto-recovery shutdown: the LDO limits output current, causing LDOOUT voltage to drop, which reduces BSTOUT voltage and minimizes power dissipation in the internal pass transistor. Thermal shutdown activates above 125°C junction temperature and releases once temperature falls below the hysteresis threshold.
