Product details
Overview
LT3462AEDC#TRPBF 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 2.5V–16V input and up to –38V output, used in CCD bias, LCD bias, and GaAs FET bias supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LT3462AEDC#TRPBF datasheet, LT3462AEDC#TRPBF pinout, LT3462AEDC#TRPBF application, or LT3462AEDC#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-inductor topology support, 1.265V reference accuracy, shutdown current <10µA, and DFN-8 package thermal performance with exposed GND pad.
Technical Context
The LT3462AEDC#TRPBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control with internal ramp compensation, enabling stable regulation across wide input/output differentials. Its dual-inductor inverting topology inherently filters both input and output currents, achieving ≤1mVP-P ripple with ceramic capacitors.
Switching at 2.7MHz allows use of sub-22µH inductors (e.g., 10µH coupled or 22µH discrete) and low-profile 1µF+ flying/output ceramics. The SDREF pin provides dual functionality: 1.265V reference sourcing up to 180µA and active-low shutdown with 2µA pull-up for turn-on sequencing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 2.7MHz typical - enables compact magnetics and low-profile layout |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 16V - supports single-cell Li+ to industrial 12V rails |
| Output Voltage Range | Up to –38V - accommodates high-voltage bias for CCDs and RF FETs |
| Reference Voltage | 1.265V ±20mV - sets feedback divider ratio for precise negative output regulation |
| Switch VCE(SAT) | 270mV at 250mA - minimizes conduction loss in high-current inverting topologies |
| Shutdown Current | <10µA - preserves battery life in portable bias applications |
| Package | 8-Lead DFN (2mm × 2mm × 0.75mm) with exposed GND pad - achieves θJA = 88.5°C/W |
Pinout & Package
LT3462AEDC#TRPBF uses an 8-lead plastic DFN package (2mm × 2mm × 0.75mm) with exposed thermal pad soldered to PCB ground. Pin 9 (exposed pad) is electrically GND and required for thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3462AES6#TRPBF | Same core architecture but in 6-lead TSOT-23; 1.2MHz switching; lower thermal performance (θJA = 192°C/W) | Suitable where board area is constrained but thermal load is light; not viable for >60mA continuous loads | Select LT3462AES6#TRPBF only if DFN-8 layout space is unavailable and power dissipation remains below 150mW. |
| LT1931AEDD#TRPBF | 2.2MHz switching; 1A switch current limit; no integrated Schottky; requires external diode | Better for higher-output-current applications (up to 300mA); adds BOM cost and footprint for external diode | Choose LT1931AEDD#TRPBF when output current exceeds 100mA or when external diode selection is needed for specialized reverse recovery behavior. |
Compared with LT3462AES6#TRPBF, the LT3462AEDC#TRPBF delivers 127% higher switching frequency and 54% lower thermal resistance, enabling smaller passives and higher power density; versus LT1931AEDD#TRPBF, it trades higher peak current capability for integrated diode simplicity and lower quiescent current.

FAQ
What is the maximum input-to-output differential voltage supported by the LT3462AEDC#TRPBF?
The LT3462AEDC#TRPBF supports up to 38V differential between VIN and VOUT in dual-inductor inverting topologies, enabled by its 40V-rated internal switch. This allows configurations such as 12V input to –36V output or 5V input to –5V output while maintaining safe SOA margins. The absolute maximum SW pin voltage is 40V, and D pin withstands –40V reverse bias.
How does the SDREF pin function in the LT3462AEDC#TRPBF?
The SDREF pin on the LT3462AEDC#TRPBF serves two roles: it acts as an active-low shutdown input and as a 1.265V reference output. When pulled to GND, it disables the converter, reducing supply current to <10µA. When left floating or pulled high via external circuitry, it sources up to 180µA at 1.265V to bias the feedback resistor divider, enabling precise output regulation in the LT3462AEDC#TRPBF.
Can the LT3462AEDC#TRPBF operate with ceramic output capacitors only?
Yes, the LT3462AEDC#TRPBF is fully compatible with ceramic output capacitors and achieves ≤1mVP-P output ripple when using X5R or X7R dielectrics. The datasheet specifies 1µF minimum for high-VOUT (e.g., –36V) and up to 10µF for low-VOUT (e.g., –5V) applications. Ceramic caps are mandatory for stable 2.7MHz operation and low ESR performance in the LT3462AEDC#TRPBF.
What is the recommended inductor value for the LT3462AEDC#TRPBF in a 5V-to–5V application?
For a 5V-to–5V inverting application, the LT3462AEDC#TRPBF recommends 22µH discrete inductors (e.g., Murata LQH32CN220) or a 10µH coupled inductor (e.g., Wurth 50310057-100). These values balance ripple current, size, and efficiency per the datasheet's Table 3 and Typical Application TA05a. Inductor saturation current must exceed 250mA to avoid core saturation under peak load in the LT3462AEDC#TRPBF.
Does the LT3462AEDC#TRPBF require an external Schottky diode?
No, the LT3462AEDC#TRPBF integrates a Schottky diode with 800–1100mV forward drop at 250mA and <4µA leakage at –40V, eliminating the need for external rectification. This integration reduces component count, PCB area, and assembly cost-confirmed in the "Integrated Schottky Rectifier" feature and PIN FUNCTIONS section of the LT3462AEDC#TRPBF datasheet.
