Product details
Overview
LT3048IDC-12#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a dual-stage low-noise bias generator integrating a 1MHz boost regulator and a low-dropout linear regulator in an 8-lead 2mm × 2mm DFN package. It delivers a fixed 12V output at up to 31mA from 2.7V–4.8V input, achieves <225µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz) noise with 1nF BYP capacitor, and provides 1.1V regulated BSTOUT–LDOOUT headroom for optimal ripple rejection-ideal for precision op amp supply in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LT3048IDC-12#TRPBF datasheet, LT3048IDC-12#TRPBF pinout, LT3048IDC-12#TRPBF application, or LT3048IDC-12#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include fixed 12V output accuracy (±1.5% over load/temperature), integrated Schottky diode, load disconnect in shutdown (<1µA quiescent current), and thermal/short-circuit protection-critical for battery-powered sensor front-ends and analog signal chains requiring ultra-low noise and stable bias.
Technical Context
The LT3048IDC-12#TRPBF employs peak current-mode control in its boost stage, enabling predictable 1MHz switching frequency and stable operation with small inductors (10µH recommended). Its LDO input (LDOIN) is supplied by BSTOUT, which is actively regulated to 1.1V above LDOOUT-ensuring consistent headroom for high PSRR and fast transient response independent of input voltage variation.
Unlike adjustable variants, the LT3048IDC-12#TRPBF uses internal feedback to fix LDOOUT at 12.00V (±1.5% over 100µA–31mA load and –40°C to 125°C), eliminating external resistor networks. The BYP pin accepts a 1nF capacitor to reduce output noise by >65% and improve soft-start behavior, while EN enables full system power gating with <1µA shutdown current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 12.00V ±1.5% (100µA–31mA, –40°C to 125°C); eliminates need for external feedback resistors and reduces layout sensitivity. |
| Output Noise | <225µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz) with 1nF BYP capacitor; enables direct powering of low-noise op amps and ADC references without additional filtering. |
| Input Range | 2.7V to 4.8V; compatible with single-cell Li-ion (fully charged to depleted) and regulated 3.3V system rails. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.00MHz typical (0.75–1.25MHz over temp); allows use of compact 10µH inductors and minimizes EMI in sensitive analog sections. |
| Load Current | Up to 31mA continuous (guaranteed at VIN = 3.6V, LDOOUT = 12V); sufficient for biasing multiple precision amplifiers or MEMS sensors. |
| BSTOUT–LDOOUT Regulation | 1.1V ±0.1V; maintains optimal LDO headroom across line/load/temperature, preserving PSRR >60dB at 1MHz and minimizing dropout-related dissipation. |
| Shutdown Quiescent Current | <1µA with EN ≤ 0.4V; supports long-term battery standby in portable medical or IoT edge devices. |
Pinout & Package
LT3048IDC-12#TRPBF is housed in an 8-lead (2mm × 2mm) plastic DFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 9, GND). The package requires soldering of the exposed pad to PCB ground for thermal performance (θJA = 102°C/W) and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pin 1) | Boost switch node | Collector of internal NPN power transistor and anode of integrated Schottky diode; high-frequency AC node requiring minimal loop area with BSTOUT bypass capacitor. |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Boost regulator input | Supplies operating current to boost stage; must be bypassed to GND with low-ESR ceramic capacitor (e.g., 1µF). |
| GND (Pin 3) | Signal and power ground | Primary ground reference for control circuitry; must be connected to PCB ground plane and exposed pad. |
| BYP (Pin 4) | Noise reduction terminal | Accepts optional 1nF capacitor to LDOOUT to reduce output noise by >65% and provide controlled soft-start; left open if not used. |
| LDOOUT (Pin 5) | Fixed 12V output | Regulated 12.00V output; requires ≥1µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to GND for stability and transient response. |
| LDOIN (Pin 6) | LDO input supply | Connected internally to BSTOUT; supplies LDO stage-regulated 13.1V nominal (12V + 1.1V) ensures optimal headroom and PSRR. |
| EN (Pin 7) | Enable control | Active-high logic input; drives high to enable regulators, low (≤0.4V) to disable with <1µA quiescent current and load disconnect. |
| BSTOUT (Pin 8) | Boost regulator output | Regulated output supplying LDOIN; maintained at 1.1V above LDOOUT; 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 while maintaining efficiency in boost stage. |
| 1.1V regulated BSTOUT–LDOOUT headroom | Ensures consistent LDO performance across input voltage range, maximizing PSRR and minimizing thermal stress during overload. |
| 1nF BYP capacitor support | Reduces output voltage noise from 225µVRMS to 60µVRMS, enabling direct use in sub-10µVPP analog signal paths. |
| Load disconnect in shutdown | Isolates LDOOUT from input during EN = low, preventing backfeed and enabling true system-level power sequencing. |
| Thermal and short-circuit protection | Automatically limits power dissipation and disables output under fault conditions, protecting downstream circuitry without external components. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-noise bias generator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3048EDC-12#TRPBF | E-grade (0°C to 125°C) vs. I-grade (–40°C to 125°C); identical electrical specs and pinout. | Not suitable for extended industrial or automotive ambient temperature ranges requiring –40°C startup. | Select LT3048IDC-12#TRPBF for designs operating below 0°C or requiring guaranteed performance across full industrial range. |
| LT3095EDD#TRPBF | Dual-channel, adjustable 1V–20V outputs, 450kHz–2MHz programmable frequency, 4µVRMS noise, 24-lead QFN. | Requires external resistors and more board space; suited for multi-rail systems needing independent bias voltages. | Choose LT3048IDC-12#TRPBF when only a single fixed 12V rail is needed and minimal footprint/no external components are critical. |
Compared with LT3048EDC-12#TRPBF, the LT3048IDC-12#TRPBF guarantees full –40°C to 125°C operation without derating, while versus LT3095EDD#TRPBF it offers half the package size, zero external components, and simpler layout-making it optimal for space-constrained single-rail applications where 12V precision and ultra-low noise are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed output voltage tolerance of the LT3048IDC-12#TRPBF over temperature and load?
The LT3048IDC-12#TRPBF delivers 12.00V with ±1.5% tolerance across the full –40°C to 125°C junction temperature range and for load currents from 100µA to 31mA. This specification is guaranteed by design and characterization-not just typical-and applies to all units in the I-grade temperature range without derating.
Can the LT3048IDC-12#TRPBF operate from a 2.5V input?
No-the LT3048IDC-12#TRPBF has a minimum input voltage of 2.7V per Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. Operation below 2.7V is not specified and may result in failure to regulate or unexpected shutdown behavior.
Does the LT3048IDC-12#TRPBF require an external feedback resistor network?
No-the LT3048IDC-12#TRPBF is a fixed-output variant with internal feedback; no external resistors are needed. Pin 5 (LDOOUT) delivers 12V directly, and Pin 4 (BYP) accepts only an optional 1nF capacitor for noise reduction-not a feedback element.
What is the purpose of the BYP pin on the LT3048IDC-12#TRPBF?
The BYP pin on the LT3048IDC-12#TRPBF accepts an optional 1nF capacitor between LDOOUT and BYP to reduce output voltage noise by >65% (from 225µVRMS to 60µVRMS) and provide controlled soft-start. Leaving BYP unconnected results in higher noise but faster startup.
How does the LT3048IDC-12#TRPBF handle overcurrent or thermal faults?
The LT3048IDC-12#TRPBF incorporates both short-circuit protection and thermal shutdown. Under overload, the LDO enters current limit, causing LDOOUT voltage to drop; simultaneously, the boost regulator reduces BSTOUT to minimize Q2 dissipation. If junction temperature exceeds 125°C, thermal shutdown disables both regulators until safe temperature is restored.
