Product details
Overview
LT3092ITS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a 2-terminal programmable current source IC in an 8-lead TSOT-23 package, delivering 0.5mA–200mA output with ±1% initial SET pin current accuracy, <0.001%/V line regulation, and 1.2V–40V input voltage range. It operates without input/output capacitors and is used in intrinsic safety circuits, remote sensor biasing, and precision current limiting for industrial transmitters.
For engineers reviewing the LT3092ITS8#TRPBF datasheet, LT3092ITS8#TRPBF pinout, LT3092ITS8#TRPBF application, or LT3092ITS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 200mA max output, Kelvin-sensed current regulation (<10ppm/V), reverse-voltage/reverse-current protection, thermal shutdown, and compatibility with floating or ground-referenced configurations.
Technical Context
The LT3092ITS8#TRPBF implements a precision 10µA zero-TC reference current source feeding the noninverting input of a high-gain power op-amp, enabling resistor-ratio-based current programming. Its architecture provides high DC/AC impedance and eliminates capacitor requirements for stability in intrinsically safe environments.
It features internal reverse-battery and reverse-current protection, current limiting (200mA typical), thermal shutdown with hysteresis, and dropout voltage as low as 1.22V at 10mA load. The SET pin's 1% initial accuracy and <0.001%/V line regulation ensure stable output across wide VIN and temperature ranges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current Range | 0.5mA to 200mA - programmable via external RSET/ROUT ratio; minimum 0.5mA required for regulation |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.2V to 40V - supports wide supply rails including 3.3V, 5V, 12V, 24V, and 36V systems |
| SET Pin Current | 10µA ±1% - precision reference current enabling accurate current setting independent of temperature |
| Line Regulation | <0.001%/V - ensures output current stability over full input voltage swing (1.2V–40V) |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.22V @ 10mA - defines minimum VIN–VOUT differential needed to sustain regulation at light loads |
| Current Regulation | <10ppm/V - specifies output current change per volt of input variation, critical for precision sensing |
| Thermal Shutdown | Active at TJ ≥ 125°C - protects device during overload; hysteresis prevents oscillation near trip point |
Pinout & Package
LT3092ITS8#TRPBF uses the 8-lead plastic TSOT-23 package (TS8), with exposed pad not present. Pins are arranged in standard top-view orientation: Pin 1 = OUT, Pin 2 = OUT, Pin 3 = IN, Pin 4 = SET, Pin 5 = NC, Pin 6 = NC, Pin 7 = IN, Pin 8 = NC. OUT pins are internally tied and must be connected together on PCB.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1, Pin 2 (OUT) | Power Output Terminal | Primary current output path; both pins tied internally and externally to deliver full 200mA; connects to load return |
| Pin 3, Pin 7 (IN) | Power Input Terminal | Supplies bias and load current; must be ≥1.22V above OUT to maintain regulation at 10mA |
| Pin 4 (SET) | Reference Current Source Node | Sinks precise 10µA ±1%; voltage across RSET sets VSET, which determines IOUT via ROUT |
| Pin 5, Pin 6, Pin 8 (NC) | No Connection | Not bonded internally; may be left floating, tied to OUT, or grounded-no electrical effect |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 2-Terminal Floating Operation | Enables series insertion into signal lines without ground reference-ideal for 4–20mA loop-powered sensors |
| Capacitor-Free Stability | Stable without input/output bypass caps-eliminates energy storage risks in intrinsic safety applications |
| Reverse-Voltage Protection | Withstands –40V on IN relative to OUT-prevents damage if supply polarity is inverted |
| Reverse-Current Protection | Blocks current flow from OUT to IN-essential when multiple sources share a common rail |
| Kelvin-Sensed Current Regulation | Ensures regulation accuracy is unaffected by PCB trace resistance between OUT pins and load |
Applications
| 4–20mA Current Loop Transmitter | Industrial Sensor Biasing |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3094IMS8E#TRPBF | Higher PSRR (≥90dB), lower noise (0.4µVRMS), integrated soft-start; 12-lead MSOP package | Targeted at ultra-low-noise precision instrumentation, not intrinsically safe barrier use | Choose when noise performance and PSRR outweigh capacitor-free operation and TSOT-23 footprint constraints |
| REF200AU | Fixed 100µA dual current source; no programmability; SO-8 package; no reverse protection | Limited to low-current biasing (≤100µA); unsuitable for 200mA loads or harsh supply environments | Choose only for simple, low-power, fixed-current bias where programmability and protection are unnecessary |
Compared with LT3092ITS8#TRPBF, LT3094IMS8E#TRPBF offers superior noise and PSRR but requires more board space and lacks intrinsic safety certification support, while REF200AU provides fixed low-current sourcing without regulation flexibility or protection features.

FAQ
What is the minimum load current required for LT3092ITS8#TRPBF to regulate properly?
The LT3092ITS8#TRPBF requires a minimum load current of 0.5mA to maintain regulation. Below this threshold, the device enters dropout and cannot sustain programmed output current. This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table and confirmed across the full –40°C to 125°C operating temperature range for the I-grade version.
Does LT3092ITS8#TRPBF require input or output capacitors for stability?
No, LT3092ITS8#TRPBF is inherently stable without input or output capacitors due to its high DC/AC output impedance architecture. This feature is explicitly validated in the datasheet and enables safe use in intrinsic safety applications where energy storage is prohibited. Capacitors may be added only for noise reduction or frequency compensation in specific layouts.
How is output current programmed on LT3092ITS8#TRPBF?
Output current on LT3092ITS8#TRPBF is set using two external resistors: RSET connected between SET and OUT establishes VSET = 10µA × RSET, and ROUT connected between OUT and load completes the path so that IOUT = VSET/ROUT + 10µA. The 10µA SET pin current is trimmed to ±1% initial accuracy and has low temperature coefficient.
What protection features does LT3092ITS8#TRPBF include?
LT3092ITS8#TRPBF integrates reverse-voltage protection (±40V on IN relative to OUT), reverse-current protection, current limiting (200mA typical), and thermal shutdown with hysteresis. These protections are active across the full operating temperature range and do not require external components-critical for robust operation in industrial and automotive environments.
Can LT3092ITS8#TRPBF be used in floating (non-ground-referenced) configurations?
Yes, LT3092ITS8#TRPBF is explicitly designed for 2-terminal floating current source operation. It can be inserted directly into signal lines-such as 4–20mA loops-without requiring a ground reference. The datasheet confirms this capability in both the description and Typical Application schematic, and it is enabled by the Kelvin-sensed OUT configuration and internal architecture.
