Product details
Overview
LT3462AEDC#TRMPBF from Analog Devices is a fixed-frequency current-mode inverting DC/DC converter with integrated Schottky diode and 270mV VCE(SAT) switch, operating at 2.7MHz switching frequency, supporting input voltages from 2.5V to 16V and output voltages down to –38V, used in LCD bias, CCD bias, and GaAs FET bias supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LT3462AEDC#TRMPBF datasheet, LT3462AEDC#TRMPBF pinout, LT3462AEDC#TRMPBF application, or LT3462AEDC#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.7MHz operation enabling compact 10µH inductors and ceramic capacitors, dual-inductor topology delivering <1mVP–P output ripple, and DFN-8 (2mm × 2mm) package with exposed GND pad for thermal management.
Technical Context
The LT3462AEDC#TRMPBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control with internal ramp compensation, where peak switch current is regulated via PWM comparator feedback from a sense resistor and stabilizing ramp. Its dual-inductor inverting topology inherently filters both input and output currents, reducing conducted EMI versus charge-pump alternatives.
SDREF serves as dual-function pin: pulled low to enable shutdown (<10µA quiescent current), and sourcing up to 180µA at 1.265V to bias the external feedback divider; FB is ground-referenced with only 15nA typical bias current, enabling high-value resistors without accuracy loss.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 2.7MHz typical - enables use of 10µH inductors and sub-2mm ceramic capacitors, minimizing board area. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 16V - supports single-cell Li+ (2.7–4.2V), 3.3V, and 5V rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Range | Up to –38V - allows high negative bias generation for CCD, LCD, and RF amplifier applications. |
| Switch VCE(SAT) | 270mV at 250mA - reduces conduction loss and improves efficiency at medium load currents. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.265V ±20mV - stable, low-impedance (40Ω) reference for precise output regulation via external resistor divider. |
| Shutdown Current | <10µA - ensures ultra-low power-off leakage in battery-powered portable systems. |
| Output Ripple | <1mVP–P with ceramic caps - meets noise-sensitive analog supply requirements without post-filtering. |
Pinout & Package
LT3462AEDC#TRMPBF uses an 8-lead plastic DFN package (2mm × 2mm × 0.75mm) with exposed GND pad (Pin 9) soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal performance (θJA = 88.5°C/W). Pin numbering follows standard DFN top-view orientation with Pin 1 marked by bar.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 5) | Input Supply | Accepts 2.5V–16V; requires local 1µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| D (Pin 7) | Schottky Anode | Connects to negative terminal of flying capacitor and L2; integrates 800mV forward drop Schottky. |
| SDREF (Pin 8) | Shutdown / Reference | Drives low to enter shutdown (<10µA IQ); sources 180µA at 1.265V to bias R2 in feedback network. |
| GND (Pins 2,3) | Power Ground | Primary return path for switch, Schottky, and internal circuits; tied directly to local ground plane. |
| FB (Pin 1) | Feedback Input | Ground-referenced node; regulates when voltage equals 0V, setting VOUT = –1.265V × (R1/R2). |
| SW (Pin 4) | Switch Node | Connects to positive terminal of flying capacitor and L1; switches at 2.7MHz with 270mV saturation. |
| NC (Pin 6) | No Connect | Internally unused; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines. |
| Exposed Pad (Pin 9) | Thermal GND | Electrically and thermally connected to internal GND; must be soldered to PCB ground for rated θJA. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar inverting DC/DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1931AEDD#TRMPBF | 2.2MHz switching, 1A switch current limit, no integrated Schottky, requires external diode. | Higher output current capability but larger solution size due to external diode and 47µH inductor. | Select when >100mA output current or higher efficiency at heavy loads is required; avoid if board area is constrained. |
| LT3463EDE#TRMPBF | Dual-output (boost + inverter), 250mA switch, integrated Schottky, 1.2MHz switching, DFN-10 package. | Supports simultaneous positive and negative rails but lower switching frequency increases inductor size. | Select when dual-rail generation is needed; avoid for single-rail, space-critical designs requiring 2.7MHz optimization. |
Compared with LT3462AEDC#TRMPBF, LT1931AEDD#TRMPBF delivers higher current but demands more board area and external components, while LT3463EDE#TRMPBF offers dual-rail flexibility at the cost of reduced switching speed and larger magnetics-making LT3462AEDC#TRMPBF optimal for compact, single-negative-rail, medium-current applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage achievable with LT3462AEDC#TRMPBF?
The LT3462AEDC#TRMPBF supports a VIN-to-VOUT differential of up to 38V in dual-inductor inverting topology. With a 16V input, it can generate up to –38V output; with a 5V input, it delivers up to –36V. The absolute minimum output is limited by the 1.265V reference and feedback resistor ratio, not by internal circuitry.
Does LT3462AEDC#TRMPBF require an external Schottky diode?
No, LT3462AEDC#TRMPBF integrates a Schottky diode with 800mV forward drop at 250mA and 4µA leakage at –40V. This eliminates the need for an external diode, reducing component count, board area, and potential failure points in the power path.
What is the recommended inductor value for LT3462AEDC#TRMPBF in a dual-inductor configuration?
For LT3462AEDC#TRMPBF, a 22µH inductor is recommended for each leg in dual-inductor topology. Coupled inductors (e.g., Würth 50310057-100) may use 10µH per winding. Inductors must have ≥0.25A saturation current rating and <1Ω DCR to maintain regulation and efficiency.
How does the SDREF pin function in LT3462AEDC#TRMPBF?
In LT3462AEDC#TRMPBF, SDREF is a dual-function pin: pulling it low disables the regulator (quiescent current <10µA), while leaving it open enables operation and sources up to 180µA at 1.265V to bias the feedback resistor R2. It also supports optional soft-start via capacitor to VOUT.
Is LT3462AEDC#TRMPBF pin-compatible with the LT3462ES6 series?
No, LT3462AEDC#TRMPBF uses an 8-lead DFN package with different pinout and functionality (e.g., NC pin, exposed pad), while LT3462ES6 uses a 6-lead TSOT-23. They are not pin-compatible; PCB layout and schematic must be redesigned for migration between packages.
