Product details
Overview
LT3470ITS8#TRMPBF from Analog Devices is a micropower step-down DC/DC converter with integrated 300mA bipolar NPN power switch, catch diode, and boost diode in an 8-lead TSOT-23 package. It delivers up to 200mA output current with 26µA quiescent current at 12VIN→3.3VOUT, <10mV output ripple, and operates across 4V–40V input range-ideal for automotive battery regulation and portable industrial sensors.
For engineers reviewing the LT3470ITS8#TRMPBF datasheet, LT3470ITS8#TRMPBF pinout, LT3470ITS8#TRMPBF application, or LT3470ITS8#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its hysteretic control architecture, AEC-Q100 qualification (–40°C to 125°C), integrated diodes eliminating external components, and Burst Mode® operation enabling ultra-low-noise micropower performance at light loads.
Technical Context
The LT3470ITS8#TRMPBF uses a hysteretic control scheme with dual current comparators and an RS latch to regulate output voltage by dynamically adjusting switching frequency based on inductor value, input/output voltage, and load. Its top/bottom current limits (250–435mA / 225mA) are temperature-compensated and servoed to maintain FB = 1.25V.
Startup relies on a charge-pump boost circuit: a 0.22µF capacitor between BOOST and SW generates >2.5V over SW to fully saturate the internal bipolar switch; BIAS pin connects to VOUT when >2V or VIN otherwise, supplying bias current only when VBIAS > 3V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 40V - supports 2-cell Li-ion, lead-acid, and unregulated wall adapters without external pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 200mA - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and RF modules in space-constrained designs. |
| Quiescent Current | 26µA at 12VIN→3.3VOUT - enables multi-year battery life in always-on IoT endpoints. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - disconnects load from input, simplifying power sequencing in battery-backed systems. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.25V ±1.8% - sets output via external resistor divider (VOUT = 1.25V × (1 + R1/R2)), stable over –40°C to 125°C. |
| Switch VCE(SAT) | 215mV at 100mA (TS8 package) - minimizes conduction loss and thermal rise in compact layouts. |
| Output Ripple | <10mV peak-to-peak - achieved with small ceramic output caps and optional 22pF phase-lead compensation. |
Pinout & Package
LT3470ITS8#TRMPBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic TSOT-23 package (3mm × 1.75mm × 0.9mm), thermally enhanced with θJA = 140°C/W. Exposed pad is not present in TSOT-23 variant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SHDN (Pin 1) | Enable/disable control input | Logic-high ≥2.5V enables regulation; grounded disables all circuitry, reducing VIN current to <1µA. |
| NC (Pin 2) | No-connect terminal | May be left floating or tied to VIN; no electrical function-used for mechanical stability in TSOT-23. |
| VIN (Pin 3) | Main power input | Supplies internal regulator and power switch; requires local 1–2.2µF ceramic bypass cap to suppress high-di/dt noise. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Power and signal reference | Must connect to low-impedance ground plane; feedback divider return and PCB thermal path originate here. |
| SW (Pin 5) | Switch node | Drives external inductor and catch diode; high dv/dt node requiring minimized trace area to reduce EMI. |
| BOOST (Pin 6) | Charge-pump drive output | Connects to 0.22µF capacitor; supplies >VIN voltage to saturate internal bipolar switch for low VCE(SAT). |
| BIAS (Pin 7) | Bias supply selector | Tied to VOUT if >2V (enables efficient bias current sourcing); else tied to VIN for startup under low-VOUT conditions. |
| FB (Pin 8) | Feedback input | Regulated to 1.25V; connects to resistor divider midpoint-small node area critical to avoid coupling from SW/BOOST. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hysteretic + Burst Mode® control | Enables automatic transition between continuous switching (high load) and micropower burst pulses (light load), maintaining <10mV ripple without external compensation. |
| Integrated boost and catch Schottky diodes | Eliminates two external diodes and associated layout area-reducing solution size to as small as 50mm² with 33µH inductor and 22µF output cap. |
| AEC-Q100 qualified (I-grade) | Rated for –40°C to +125°C ambient operation with full parameter guarantees-validated for automotive body electronics and ADAS sensor supplies. |
| Fast current limiting & short-circuit protection | Top current limit of 250–435mA and minimum off-time of 500ns prevent switch overstress during 40V input faults or output shorts. |
| Low-profile TSOT-23 packaging | 0.9mm max height enables use in ultra-thin portable devices and stacked PCB assemblies where DFN thickness is prohibitive. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3471ITS8#TRMPBF | Higher 400mA output current; identical pinout and control architecture but larger switch and diodes. | Suitable for 300mA loads (e.g., motor drivers) where LT3470ITS8#TRMPBF would operate near thermal limit. | Select LT3471ITS8#TRMPBF only if sustained >200mA load current or higher transient headroom is required. |
| TPS62130ARGTR | Synchronous buck (vs. LT3470ITS8#TRMPBF's asynchronous topology); 3.6V–17V input; 3A output; requires external inductor. | Better efficiency above 100mA but lacks integrated diodes and AEC-Q100 qualification; not suitable for 40V input or automotive temp range. | Choose TPS62130ARGTR for high-efficiency, high-current non-automotive applications where board space allows external magnetics. |
Compared with LT3470ITS8#TRMPBF, LT3471ITS8#TRMPBF offers higher current capability in identical form factor, while TPS62130ARGTR trades integration and ruggedness for raw efficiency and output current-making LT3470ITS8#TRMPBF optimal for space-, reliability-, and input-voltage–constrained designs.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LT3470ITS8#TRMPBF?
The LT3470ITS8#TRMPBF is rated for –40°C to +125°C ambient operation, with full electrical specifications guaranteed across this range. This I-grade qualification meets AEC-Q100 requirements for automotive under-hood and body electronics applications, and supports industrial deployments in harsh thermal environments without derating.
Does the LT3470ITS8#TRMPBF require external diodes?
No-the LT3470ITS8#TRMPBF integrates both the catch Schottky diode and boost Schottky diode internally. This eliminates two external components, reduces PCB area, improves reliability, and simplifies design. External diodes are never required, though the BOOST capacitor (0.22µF) and feedback resistors remain necessary.
How does the LT3470ITS8#TRMPBF achieve low output ripple?
The LT3470ITS8#TRMPBF achieves <10mV peak-to-peak output ripple through combined Burst Mode® operation at light loads and hysteretic control at higher loads, plus optimized internal compensation. Adding a 22pF phase-lead capacitor from FB to VOUT further reduces comparator delay-induced ripple without external loop components.
Can the LT3470ITS8#TRMPBF operate from a 40V input source?
Yes-the LT3470ITS8#TRMPBF has an absolute maximum input rating of 40V and is designed for direct connection to unregulated sources like lead-acid batteries and industrial 24V/36V rails. Fast current limiting and 500ns minimum off-time protect the internal switch during fault conditions at full 40V input.
What is the purpose of the BIAS pin on the LT3470ITS8#TRMPBF?
The BIAS pin on the LT3470ITS8#TRMPBF selects the bias supply source: it connects to VOUT when output voltage exceeds 2V (enabling efficient current sourcing from regulated rail), or to VIN otherwise (ensuring reliable startup at low VOUT). This dual-path design optimizes quiescent current and startup behavior across output voltage configurations.
