Product details
Overview
LT3048IDC-15#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a dual-stage low-noise bias generator IC combining a 1MHz boost regulator and a low-dropout linear regulator in an 8-lead 2mm × 2mm DFN package. It delivers a fixed 15V output at up to 24mA from 2.7V–4.8V input, achieves <60µVRMS noise (10Hz–100kHz) with 1nF BYP capacitor, and provides >60dB ripple rejection at 1MHz - ideal for powering precision op amps and high-resolution ADCs from single-cell Li-ion batteries.
For engineers reviewing the LT3048IDC-15#TRPBF datasheet, LT3048IDC-15#TRPBF pinout, LT3048IDC-15#TRPBF application, or LT3048IDC-15#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 15V output, integrated Schottky diode, BSTOUT-to-LDOOUT regulation offset of 1.1V, thermal/short-circuit protection, and load disconnect during shutdown - all verified across –40°C to 125°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The LT3048IDC-15#TRPBF implements peak current-mode control in its boost stage, enabling stable operation with small inductors (10µH recommended) and predictable ripple. Its LDO input (LDOIN) is supplied by BSTOUT, regulated precisely 1.1V above LDOOUT to optimize transient response and PSRR.
Unlike adjustable variants, the LT3048IDC-15#TRPBF uses internal feedback to fix LDOOUT at 15.00V (±1.5% over load/temperature), eliminating external resistors. The BYP pin accepts a 1nF capacitor to reduce broadband noise and improve soft-start behavior without compromising stability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 15.00V ±1.5% (100µA–24mA load, –40°C to 125°C) |
| Output Noise | <60µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz, CBYP = 1nF, ILOAD = 24mA) |
| PSRR @ 1MHz | >60dB (ensures effective suppression of boost switching artifacts) |
| Switching Frequency | 1.00MHz typical (0.75–1.25MHz over temp; enables compact 10µH inductor) |
| BSTOUT Regulation | Regulated to LDOOUT + 1.1V (minimizes LDO power dissipation and improves transient headroom) |
| Quiescent Current | 20µA typical (LDO stage); 600µA max (VIN quiescent, not switching) |
| Protection Features | Thermal shutdown, short-circuit current limit (45–80mA), load disconnect in shutdown |
Pinout & Package
LT3048IDC-15#TRPBF is housed in an 8-lead (2mm × 2mm) plastic DFN package with exposed pad (Pin 9) required to be soldered to PCB ground for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pin 1) | Boost switch node | Collector of internal NPN transistor and anode of integrated Schottky diode; carries high-frequency AC current |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Input supply | Supplies boost regulator; requires local 1µF ceramic bypass to GND |
| GND (Pin 3) | Ground reference | Primary ground return; must be connected to PCB ground plane and exposed pad |
| BYP (Pin 4) | Noise reduction terminal | Accepts optional 1nF capacitor to LDOOUT to lower broadband noise and control soft-start slew rate |
| LDOOUT (Pin 5) | Fixed 15V output | Regulated 15V supply rail; requires ≥1µF low-ESR ceramic output capacitor |
| LDOIN (Pin 6) | LDO input | Connected internally to BSTOUT; supplies LDO stage with voltage 1.1V above LDOOUT |
| EN (Pin 7) | Enable control | Logic-high (>1.25V) enables both regulators; logic-low (<0.4V) disables with <1µA shutdown current |
| BSTOUT (Pin 8) | Boost output | Regulated 16.1V (15V + 1.1V); powers LDOIN and requires 4.7µF ceramic bypass to GND |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Schottky diode | Eliminates external diode, reduces board area, and avoids reverse recovery losses |
| 1.1V BSTOUT–LDOOUT offset | Optimizes LDO efficiency and PSRR while limiting worst-case power dissipation under overload |
| Load disconnect in shutdown | Prevents backfeed from LDOOUT to input during disable, critical for battery-powered systems |

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-15#TRPBF | E-grade (0°C to 125°C) vs. I-grade (–40°C to 125°C); identical electrical specs and pinout | Suitable for commercial/industrial ambient environments only; not rated for cold-start automotive or extended industrial use | Select when full –40°C operation is unnecessary and cost optimization is prioritized |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed output voltage tolerance for LT3048IDC-15#TRPBF over temperature and load?
The LT3048IDC-15#TRPBF guarantees a 15.00V output with ±1.5% total error across –40°C to 125°C junction temperature and 100µA to 24mA load current, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table (LDOOUT Regulation Voltage, LT3048-15 row). This includes initial accuracy, line regulation, load regulation, and temperature drift - verified per Analog Devices' production test flow.
Can LT3048IDC-15#TRPBF operate with input voltage below 2.7V?
No. The LT3048IDC-15#TRPBF has a minimum specified VIN of 2.7V per Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. Operation below 2.7V may result in failure to regulate, reduced efficiency, or undefined behavior - especially since the boost stage requires sufficient headroom to generate BSTOUT = LDOOUT + 1.1V = 16.1V.
What is the purpose of the BYP pin on LT3048IDC-15#TRPBF, and what capacitor value is recommended?
The BYP pin on LT3048IDC-15#TRPBF accepts an optional capacitor between LDOOUT and BYP to reduce broadband output noise and control soft-start slew rate. A 1nF ceramic capacitor is recommended - it lowers RMS noise from ~250µV to <60µV (10Hz–100kHz) and improves transient response without affecting loop stability.
Does LT3048IDC-15#TRPBF require an external feedback resistor network?
No. Unlike the adjustable LT3048 variant, the LT3048IDC-15#TRPBF integrates internal feedback to fix the output at 15.00V. No external resistors are needed - simplifying design, reducing component count, and eliminating resistor tolerance errors that affect accuracy in programmable versions.
How does LT3048IDC-15#TRPBF handle overload or short-circuit conditions?
Under overload or short-circuit, the LT3048IDC-15#TRPBF limits LDO output current to 45–80mA (typical 60mA), causing LDOOUT voltage to drop. Simultaneously, the boost regulator reduces BSTOUT to maintain the 1.1V offset, minimizing power dissipation in the internal pass transistor. Thermal shutdown activates if junction temperature exceeds 125°C.
