Product details
Overview
LT3092IDD#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a 2-terminal programmable current source IC designed for precision biasing, sensor excitation, and intrinsic safety circuits. It delivers 0.5mA–200mA output current with 1% initial SET pin accuracy, <0.001%/V line regulation, and operates across 1.2V–40V input voltage range without requiring input or output capacitors.
For engineers reviewing the LT3092IDD#TRPBF datasheet, LT3092IDD#TRPBF pinout, LT3092IDD#TRPBF application, or LT3092IDD#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its resistor-programmable current setting, reverse-voltage/reverse-current protection, Kelvin-sensed current regulation (<10ppm/V), thermal shutdown, and suitability for floating or ground-referenced current sourcing in hazardous-area instrumentation.
Technical Context
The LT3092IDD#TRPBF implements a precision 10µA reference current source feeding the noninverting input of a high-gain power op-amp, enabling accurate current mirroring via external RSET/ROUT ratio. Its architecture achieves >100dB AC impedance and stable operation without bypass capacitors due to internal compensation and low-output-impedance buffering.
It supports true 2-terminal operation (IN/OUT only) with SET pin as high-impedance control node, features integrated reverse-battery and reverse-current protection, and maintains regulation down to 1.22V dropout at 10mA load. Thermal shutdown activates at 125°C junction temperature with hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current Range | 0.5mA to 200mA - set by external RSET/ROUT ratio; minimum 0.5mA required for regulation |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.2V to 40V - enables wide-supply compatibility including industrial 24V and automotive 12V systems |
| SET Pin Current Accuracy | ±1% initial tolerance - ensures precise current programming without calibration |
| Line Regulation | <0.001%/V typical - minimizes output current drift over input voltage variation |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.22V at 10mA, 1.45V at 200mA - defines minimum headroom needed between IN and OUT |
| Current Regulation | Better than 10ppm/V from 1.5V to 40V - guarantees stable current under varying supply conditions |
| Protection Features | Reverse-voltage, reverse-current, current limiting, thermal shutdown - eliminates need for external protection circuitry |
Pinout & Package
LT3092IDD#TRPBF is housed in an 8-lead 3mm × 3mm plastic DFN package (DD) with exposed pad tied internally to OUT. The exposed pad must be soldered to the PCB's OUT net for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pins 7, 8) | Power Input | Supplies bias and load current; must be 1.2–1.45V above OUT depending on load |
| OUT (Pins 1, 2) | Current Output | Delivers regulated current; connects to exposed pad; serves as reference return for SET pin |
| SET (Pin 4) | Reference Control | Sinks precise 10µA current; voltage at this pin sets output current via RSET/ROUT ratio |
| NC (Pins 3, 5, 6) | No Connection | Internally unconnected; may be left floating or tied to OUT/GND without effect |
| Exposed Pad (Pin 9) | Output Terminal | Electrically and thermally connected to OUT pins; mandatory PCB connection for thermal performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 2-Terminal Floating Operation | Enables series insertion into signal lines without ground reference-critical for intrinsic safety loop-powered sensors |
| Capacitor-Free Stability | Eliminates need for input/output bypass caps-reduces BOM count, avoids ESR-related instability, and simplifies layout |
| Resistor-Ratio Programming | Output current determined solely by RSET/ROUT ratio-enables temperature-tracking with matched resistors |
| Kelvin-Sensed Current Regulation | Measurement at package terminals ensures accuracy despite PCB trace resistance or contact losses |
| Reverse-Voltage Protection | Withstands –40V on IN relative to OUT-prevents damage during battery reversal or wiring faults |
| AEC-Q100 Qualified | Rated for automotive applications (–40°C to 125°C)-validates reliability for harsh-environment use |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar programmable current source applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3092ETS8#TRPBF | Same core functionality but in 8-lead TSOT-23 package; higher θJA (57°C/W) vs. DFN (28°C/W); no exposed pad | Better suited for space-constrained PCBs where thermal load is light (<50mA continuous) | Select when board area is critical and thermal dissipation requirements are modest |
| LM334Z/NOPB | 3-terminal device requiring external bias; 1µA–10mA range; no reverse-protection; ±3% initial accuracy | Limited to low-current biasing; unsuitable for intrinsic safety or high-side sensing | Choose only for cost-sensitive, low-precision, low-power analog biasing where protection and accuracy are secondary |

FAQ
What is the minimum load current required for LT3092IDD#TRPBF to maintain regulation?
The LT3092IDD#TRPBF requires a minimum load current of 0.5mA to remain in regulation. Below this threshold, the internal error amplifier cannot sustain closed-loop control, and output current becomes unregulated. This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table and confirmed across the full –40°C to 125°C operating temperature range for the IDD grade.
Can LT3092IDD#TRPBF operate without input or output capacitors?
Yes, the LT3092IDD#TRPBF is explicitly designed for stable operation without input or output capacitors. Its internal compensation and high DC/AC output impedance eliminate the need for external bypass components-enabling use in intrinsically safe circuits where energy storage is prohibited. Stability is maintained across all specified load and input voltage conditions per the datasheet.
How is output current programmed on the LT3092IDD#TRPBF?
Output current on the LT3092IDD#TRPBF is programmed using two external resistors: RSET connected between SET and OUT, and ROUT connected between OUT and load. With a precise 10µA current sourced from the SET pin, IOUT = (10µA × RSET) / ROUT + 10µA. The ratio of RSET to ROUT determines the final current, enabling accurate, temperature-tracked settings.
Does LT3092IDD#TRPBF provide reverse-voltage protection?
Yes, the LT3092IDD#TRPBF includes integrated reverse-voltage protection, allowing it to withstand up to –40V on the IN pin relative to OUT without damage or reverse current flow. This feature protects against battery misconnection or field-wiring errors in industrial and automotive applications-eliminating the need for external diodes or protection ICs.
What thermal considerations apply to LT3092IDD#TRPBF in the DFN package?
The LT3092IDD#TRPBF in the 3mm × 3mm DFN package has θJA = 28°C/W and θJC = 10°C/W. To maintain safe operation at 200mA, the exposed pad must be soldered to a large copper pour connected to the OUT net. Without adequate PCB copper area, junction temperature can exceed 125°C, triggering thermal shutdown. Layout guidelines specify minimum pad size and via count in the Applications Information section.
