Product details
Overview
LT3092ITS8#TRMPBF from Analog Devices is a 2-terminal programmable current source IC delivering 0.5mA–200mA output with 1% initial SET pin current accuracy, <0.001%/V line regulation, and operation across 1.2V–40V input range. It requires only two external resistors, needs no input/output capacitors for stability, and is used in intrinsic safety circuits, remote sensor biasing, and precision current limiting.
For engineers reviewing the LT3092ITS8#TRMPBF datasheet, LT3092ITS8#TRMPBF pinout, LT3092ITS8#TRMPBF application, or LT3092ITS8#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 8-lead TSOT-23 package, Kelvin-sensed current regulation (<10 ppm/V), reverse-voltage/reverse-current protection, thermal shutdown, and compatibility with floating or ground-referred configurations.
Technical Context
The LT3092ITS8#TRMPBF implements a precision 10µA reference current source feeding the noninverting input of a power op-amp, enabling resistor-ratio-based current programming. Its architecture delivers high DC/AC impedance and operates without mandatory bypass capacitors-critical for intrinsically safe systems where energy storage is restricted.
It features internal reverse-battery and reverse-current protection, current limiting (200mA typical), and thermal shutdown with hysteresis. The device maintains regulation down to 0.5mA load and supports dropout voltages as low as 1.22V at 10mA, scaling to 1.65V at 200mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current Range | 0.5mA to 200mA - set by resistor ratio relative to internal 10µA reference; minimum 0.5mA required for regulation |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.2V to 40V - enables wide-supply operation including industrial and automotive rails |
| SET Pin Current Accuracy | ±1% initial tolerance - ensures predictable current programming without calibration |
| Line Regulation | <0.001%/V - minimizes output current drift over input voltage variation |
| Current Regulation | <10ppm/V from 1.5V–40V - provides stable current delivery under varying supply conditions |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.22V (10mA), 1.65V (200mA) - defines minimum VIN–VOUT headroom needed for regulation |
| Reference Noise | 0.7nARMS (10Hz–100kHz) - sets baseline current noise floor for precision applications |
Pinout & Package
LT3092ITS8#TRMPBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic TSOT-23 package (TS8), with exposed pad not present. Pin 1 is OUT, Pin 2 is OUT, Pin 3 is IN, Pin 4 is SET, Pin 5 is NC, Pin 6 is NC, Pin 7 is IN, Pin 8 is NC. The dual OUT and dual IN pins are internally connected and must be tied together externally for proper operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OUT (Pins 1, 2) | Power Output Terminal | Delivers regulated current; connects to load return path; dual pins reduce resistance and improve thermal conduction |
| IN (Pins 3, 7) | Power Input Terminal | Supplies bias and load current; must be ≥1.22V above OUT for regulation at 10mA |
| SET (Pin 4) | Reference Current Source Output | Sinks precise 10µA (±1%) to program IOUT via RSET; noninverting input of internal op-amp |
| NC (Pins 5, 6, 8) | No Internal Connection | May be left floating or tied to IN/OUT/GND; no electrical function or thermal benefit |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 2-Terminal Floating Operation | Enables series insertion into signal lines without ground reference-ideal for loop-powered sensors and intrinsic safety barriers |
| Capacitor-Free Stability | Eliminates need for input/output bypass caps, reducing BOM count and avoiding fault-energy storage in hazardous environments |
| Kelvin-Sensed Current Regulation | Ensures accurate current delivery independent of PCB trace resistance or contact losses in high-reliability wiring |
| Reverse-Voltage & Reverse-Current Protection | Prevents damage during incorrect polarity connection or back-driving-no external diodes required |
| AEC-Q100 Qualified (I Grade) | Validated for automotive ambient temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) and reliability stress testing per AEC standard |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 2-terminal current source applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3094IMS#PBF | Higher PSRR (120dB vs 90dB), lower noise (0.3nARMS), 3-terminal architecture requiring separate REF pin | Requires additional reference routing; better suited for ultra-low-noise precision DAC biasing than loop-powered field devices | Choose LT3094IMS#PBF when sub-nA noise and >100dB ripple rejection are critical, and board layout allows 3-terminal configuration. |
| LM334Z/NOPB | 3-pin TO-92; 1µA–10mA range; no reverse-protection; ±3% initial accuracy; requires external trim pot for adjustment | Limited to low-current, non-automotive, non-safety-critical applications due to lack of protection and wider tolerance | Choose LM334Z/NOPB only for cost-sensitive, low-power lab-grade biasing where 200mA capability and AEC-Q100 compliance are unnecessary. |
Compared with LT3092ITS8#TRMPBF, LT3094IMS#PBF offers superior noise and PSRR but sacrifices 2-terminal simplicity and intrinsic safety suitability; LM334Z/NOPB provides basic current sourcing at lower cost but lacks protection, accuracy, and automotive qualification-making LT3092ITS8#TRMPBF the optimal choice for robust, safety-compliant, medium-current applications.

FAQ
What is the minimum load current required for LT3092ITS8#TRMPBF to maintain regulation?
The LT3092ITS8#TRMPBF requires a minimum load current of 0.5mA to remain in regulation. Below this threshold, the device cannot sustain closed-loop control, and output current becomes unregulated. This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Minimum Load Current" and is independent of input voltage within the 1.2V–40V operating range. Designers must ensure the total load-including any leakage paths-meets or exceeds 0.5mA.
Does LT3092ITS8#TRMPBF require input or output capacitors for stability?
No, LT3092ITS8#TRMPBF is inherently stable without input or output capacitors under typical conditions, a key feature enabling use in intrinsically safe applications. However, if long PCB traces or cables introduce inductive reactance, or if a capacitor is added across RSET for noise reduction, external compensation (e.g., series RC network or small damping resistors) may be necessary. Stability must be verified in situ with final layout and parasitics.
How is output current programmed on LT3092ITS8#TRMPBF?
Output current on LT3092ITS8#TRMPBF is programmed using two external resistors: RSET connected between SET and OUT, and ROUT connected between OUT and load. With a precise 10µA (±1%) current sourced from the SET pin, VSET = 10µA × RSET, and IOUT = VSET / ROUT + 10µA. For example, RSET = 20kΩ and ROUT = 100Ω yields IOUT ≈ 2.01mA. Resistor matching temperature coefficients minimizes drift.
What protection features does LT3092ITS8#TRMPBF include?
LT3092ITS8#TRMPBF integrates reverse-voltage protection (±40V on IN relative to OUT), reverse-current protection, current limiting (200mA typical), and thermal shutdown with hysteresis. These functions operate without external components, eliminating the need for series diodes or external current-sense circuitry. The device also withstands indefinite output short-circuit conditions without damage.
Is LT3092ITS8#TRMPBF qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, LT3092ITS8#TRMPBF is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications (Grade I, –40°C to +125°C junction temperature). It undergoes stress testing per AEC-Q100 Rev H requirements, including HTOL, TC, UHAST, and ESD. The part marking "LTFJW" and ordering suffix "#TRMPBF" confirm its automotive-grade qualification and tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly.
