Product details
Overview
LT3092ETS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a 2-terminal programmable current source IC requiring only two external resistors to set output current from 0.5mA to 200mA. It operates with 1.2V–40V input voltage range, delivers <0.001%/V line regulation, and features reverse-voltage/reverse-current protection - ideal for intrinsically safe sensor biasing and remote current-loop interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the LT3092ETS8#TRPBF datasheet, LT3092ETS8#TRPBF pinout, LT3092ETS8#TRPBF application, or LT3092ETS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its resistor-ratio-based programming, capacitor-free stability, ±2mV offset voltage, 10µA SET pin reference accuracy, and TSOT-23 package suitability for space-constrained industrial and automotive current-source designs.
Technical Context
The LT3092ETS8#TRPBF implements a precision 10µA internal reference current source feeding the noninverting input of a power op-amp, enabling Kelvin-sensed current regulation. Its architecture eliminates need for input/output capacitors by maintaining high DC/AC impedance across 1.2V–40V VIN–VOUT differential.
It supports both floating and ground-referred configurations, with dropout voltage as low as 1.22V at 10mA load and thermal shutdown + current limiting for fault robustness. The SET pin's 1% initial accuracy and <10ppm/V regulation over 1.5V–40V ensure stable current setting under varying supply conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current Range | 0.5mA to 200mA - programmable via resistor ratio RSET/ROUT referenced to 10µA SET pin current |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.2V to 40V - enables operation across wide supply rails including 3.3V, 5V, 12V, and 24V industrial systems |
| Line Regulation | <0.001%/V typical - ensures minimal current drift over input voltage variation, critical for precision sensing |
| SET Pin Current Accuracy | ±1% initial tolerance, 10µA nominal - provides direct scaling basis for output current with predictable error budget |
| Offset Voltage (VOUT–VSET) | ±2mV max - limits absolute current error at low output levels (e.g., ≤0.2% error at 1mA) |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.22V at 10mA, 1.45V at 200mA - defines minimum headroom required between IN and OUT pins |
| RMS Output Noise | 0.7nA RMS (10Hz–100kHz) - low-noise performance suitable for precision analog sensor excitation |
Pinout & Package
LT3092ETS8#TRPBF uses the 8-lead plastic TSOT-23 package (TS8), with exposed pad not present. Pin 1 = OUT, Pin 2 = OUT, Pin 3 = IN, Pin 4 = SET, Pin 5 = NC, Pin 6 = NC, Pin 7 = IN, Pin 8 = NC. Dual OUT and dual IN pins reduce trace inductance and improve thermal/power delivery in high-current applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1, Pin 2 (OUT) | Power Output Terminal | Low-impedance buffered output node; tied internally to exposed tab in other packages; must be connected to load return path |
| Pin 3, Pin 7 (IN) | Power Input Terminal | Bias and load current supply node; requires ≥1.22V above OUT for regulation; dual pins lower effective series resistance |
| Pin 4 (SET) | Reference Current Source Terminal | Sinks precise 10µA current; voltage at this pin sets amplifier reference point; sensitive to leakage-requires guard ring |
| Pin 5, Pin 6, Pin 8 (NC) | No Connection | Internally unconnected; may be left floating, tied to OUT, or grounded-no electrical impact on operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Capacitor-free stability | Operates without input/output bypass capacitors - eliminates ESR-related instability and simplifies layout in safety-critical circuits |
| Reverse-battery protection | Withstands –40V on IN relative to OUT - prevents damage during incorrect polarity connection in field-deployed equipment |
| 2-terminal floating configuration | Enables insertion directly into signal lines (e.g., 4–20mA loops) without ground reference - supports intrinsic safety compliance |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Activates at TJ ≥125°C and holds until TJ drops ~15°C - prevents thermal runaway during sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Rated for automotive-grade temperature range (–40°C to 125°C) - validated for engine bay and ADAS sensor biasing applications |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 2-terminal programmable current source applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3094EDD#TRPBF | Higher PSRR (≥90dB), lower noise (0.3nA RMS), DFN-8 package - adds integrated compensation network for improved stability with capacitive loads | Targeted at ultra-low-noise sensor biasing and medical instrumentation where ripple rejection >80dB is mandatory | Select when noise floor or AC line rejection exceeds LT3092ETS8#TRPBF capability; requires PCB redesign due to different footprint and thermal pad |
| MAX40007AUT+T | Single-supply, rail-to-rail output, 1.7V–5.5V range, SOT-23-6 - lacks reverse-voltage protection and has 50mA max output | Optimized for low-voltage portable electronics (e.g., wearables) with tight board space and battery operation | Choose only for sub-5V, sub-50mA applications where reverse protection and wide VIN are not required; not drop-in compatible |
Compared with LT3092ETS8#TRPBF, LT3094EDD#TRPBF offers superior noise and PSRR in a larger DFN package, while MAX40007AUT+T trades protection and output range for ultra-low-voltage operation - neither matches the LT3092ETS8#TRPBF's combination of 40V tolerance, 200mA drive, and intrinsic safety readiness in TSOT-23.

FAQ
What is the minimum load current required for LT3092ETS8#TRPBF to maintain regulation?
The LT3092ETS8#TRPBF requires a minimum load current of 300µA to maintain regulation, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value corresponds to the device's quiescent current, which is delivered entirely to the output. Setting the programmed current below 0.5mA will cause loss of regulation - the LT3092ETS8#TRPBF is not guaranteed to operate stably below this threshold.
Can LT3092ETS8#TRPBF be used without any external capacitors?
Yes, the LT3092ETS8#TRPBF is explicitly designed for capacitor-free operation and remains stable without input or output bypass capacitors under typical conditions. Its high DC/AC output impedance enables this behavior. However, if long PCB traces or cables introduce inductive reactance, series damping resistors or RC compensation networks may be needed - stability must be verified in situ per the Applications Information section of the LT3092ETS8#TRPBF datasheet.
How does the SET pin function in LT3092ETS8#TRPBF, and what is its accuracy?
The SET pin of the LT3092ETS8#TRPBF sources a precision 10µA reference current with ±1% initial accuracy and low temperature coefficient (<10ppm/°C). This current flows through an external RSET resistor to generate a reference voltage applied to the error amplifier's noninverting input. Output current is calculated as IOUT = (10µA × RSET)/ROUT + 10µA. Leakage into/out of the SET pin must be minimized (<10nA) to preserve accuracy.
Does LT3092ETS8#TRPBF support reverse-voltage protection, and what is its rating?
Yes, the LT3092ETS8#TRPBF includes integrated reverse-voltage protection rated to –40V on the IN pin relative to OUT. This allows the device to survive incorrect battery or supply polarity connections in automotive and industrial installations without damage. Reverse-current protection is also provided, preventing backfeed from the load into the input when VIN is removed.
What is the thermal performance of LT3092ETS8#TRPBF in the TSOT-23 package?
The LT3092ETS8#TRPBF in TSOT-23 has θJA = 57°C/W and θJC = 15°C/W. At 200mA output with 5V dropout (1W dissipation), junction temperature rise above ambient is ~57°C - requiring derating above 70°C ambient or use of copper pour on OUT pins for heat spreading. Thermal shutdown activates at TJ = 125°C with hysteresis, protecting the LT3092ETS8#TRPBF during transient overloads.
