Product details
Overview
LT3048IDC-3.3#TRPBF 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 3.3V output at up to 40mA from 2.7V–4.8V input, achieves <120µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz) noise with 1nF BYP capacitor, and targets sensor biasing and op amp supply in space-constrained portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LT3048IDC-3.3#TRPBF datasheet, LT3048IDC-3.3#TRPBF pinout, LT3048IDC-3.3#TRPBF application, or LT3048IDC-3.3#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 3.300V ±0.05V output accuracy over –40°C to 125°C, integrated Schottky diode, load disconnect in shutdown, and BSTOUT regulation to LDOOUT + 1.1V for optimized ripple rejection.
Technical Context
The LT3048IDC-3.3#TRPBF employs peak current-mode control in its boost stage for predictable ripple and fast transient response, with switching frequency fixed at 2.2MHz (typical) across temperature. Its LDO stage regulates using a precision 1.235V internal reference and achieves <18mV load regulation (100µA–40mA), enabled by BSTOUT being actively regulated 1.1V above LDOOUT.
This architecture decouples switching noise via high PSRR LDO filtering while maintaining efficiency: the boost output voltage dynamically tracks the LDO input requirement, minimizing power dissipation in the pass element during overload or low-input conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.300V ±0.05V (guaranteed over full –40°C to 125°C junction range) |
| Output Current | Up to 40mA continuous; supports stable operation under full load without thermal shutdown |
| Voltage Noise | 120µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz, CBYP = 1nF); enables ultra-low-noise analog signal chains |
| Switching Frequency | 2.2MHz typical; allows use of compact 3.3µH inductor and reduces EMI fundamental frequency |
| Ripple Rejection | 60dB at 1MHz; suppresses boost switching artifacts before final LDO output |
| Load Regulation | 9mV max (100µA to 40mA); ensures stable bias voltage across varying sensor or amplifier loads |
| Quiescent Current | 20µA typical (LDO stage); maintains low system standby power |
Pinout & Package
LT3048IDC-3.3#TRPBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic DFN package (2mm × 2mm, 0.75mm height) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 9) that must be soldered to PCB ground for thermal and electrical integrity. Pin pitch is 0.45mm; package meets JEDEC MO-229 standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pin 1) | Boost switch node | Collector of internal NPN transistor; connects to inductor and internal Schottky anode; requires minimal loop area for EMI control |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Input supply | Primary input for boost regulator; must be bypassed to GND with low-ESR ceramic capacitor |
| GND (Pin 3) | Ground reference | Signal and power ground return; tied directly to exposed pad (Pin 9) for lowest impedance path |
| BYP (Pin 4) | Noise reduction terminal | Accepts optional 1nF capacitor to LDOOUT to reduce output noise and provide soft-start |
| LDOOUT (Pin 5) | Regulated output | Fixed 3.3V output; requires ≥1µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to ground for stability and transient response |
| LDOIN (Pin 6) | LDO input | Supplied by BSTOUT; voltage is regulated to LDOOUT + 1.1V for optimal LDO headroom and PSRR |
| 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 output of boost stage; supplies LDOIN and must be bypassed to GND with 4.7µF ceramic capacitor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Schottky diode | Eliminates external diode, reducing BOM count and PCB footprint while enabling seamless boost-to-LDO power transfer |
| Load disconnect in shutdown | Internal switch isolates LDOOUT from input during EN = low, preventing backfeed and enabling true system-level power gating |
| Thermal and short-circuit protection | Auto-recovering thermal shutdown and current limiting protect device and downstream circuitry under fault conditions |
| 1.1V BSTOUT-to-LDOOUT regulation | Optimizes LDO transient response and ripple rejection while minimizing power loss across pass element |
| 2.2MHz fixed switching frequency | Enables use of miniature 3.3µH inductors and simplifies EMI filter design with predictable noise spectrum |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3048EDC-3.3#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 but not extended-temperature industrial or automotive under-hood | Select LT3048IDC-3.3#TRPBF for designs requiring guaranteed performance down to –40°C junction temperature. |
| LT3095IMSE#TRPBF | Dual-channel, 450kHz–2MHz adjustable frequency, 4µVRMS noise, 3mm × 5mm QFN-24 | Supports two independent bias rails; higher integration but larger footprint and different pin compatibility | Choose LT3095IMSE#TRPBF only when dual-output capability and sub-5µVRMS noise justify larger package and layout redesign. |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed output voltage tolerance for LT3048IDC-3.3#TRPBF over temperature?
The LT3048IDC-3.3#TRPBF guarantees a 3.300V output with ±0.05V tolerance (±1.5%) over the full –40°C to 125°C junction temperature range, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table for LDOOUT regulation voltage under load conditions of 100µA to 40mA.
Does LT3048IDC-3.3#TRPBF require an external Schottky diode?
No, the LT3048IDC-3.3#TRPBF integrates a Schottky diode internally-its anode connects to the SW pin and cathode to BSTOUT-eliminating the need for any external diode and reducing solution size and component count.
How does the BYP pin function in LT3048IDC-3.3#TRPBF?
The BYP pin on the LT3048IDC-3.3#TRPBF accepts an optional 1nF capacitor connected to LDOOUT to reduce output voltage noise by ~2× (from 120µVRMS to 42µVRMS) and provides controlled soft-start behavior; leaving BYP unconnected results in standard startup timing and higher noise.
What is the recommended inductor value for LT3048IDC-3.3#TRPBF?
The datasheet specifies a 3.3µH inductor for the LT3048IDC-3.3#TRPBF, optimized for 40mA output at 3.3V; recommended part numbers include LPS3008-332MR (Coilcraft) or equivalent low-DCR, shielded inductors rated for ≥150mA RMS current.
Can LT3048IDC-3.3#TRPBF operate with input voltage below 2.7V?
No, the absolute minimum input voltage for LT3048IDC-3.3#TRPBF is 2.7V per Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics; operation below this threshold is not characterized and may result in unstable regulation or failure to start.
