Product details
Overview
LT3471EDD from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual-channel, 1.2MHz, 42V bipolar switching regulator IC with independent boost and inverting capability. It integrates two 1.3A NPN power switches, 1.00V reference, error amplifiers sensing to ground, and programmable soft-start. It delivers 5V at 630mA from 3.3V input or –12V at 200mA from 5V input for OLED bias and portable power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LT3471EDD datasheet, LT3471EDD pinout, LT3471EDD application, or LT3471EDD equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, validated 10-pin DFN package mapping, confirmed dual-boost/inverter topology support, exact VCESAT (330mV @ 1.3A), and real-world efficiency data across Li-ion input ranges (2.6V–4.2V).
Technical Context
The LT3471EDD employs constant-frequency current-mode PWM control with shared 1.2MHz oscillator and independent error amplifiers per channel, enabling synchronized yet individually enabled operation. Each channel supports noninverting boost, inverting, or SEPIC topologies via configurable feedback connections (FB1P/FB1N, FB2P/FB2N) and internal 1.00V reference.
Its bipolar NPN switches feature low VCESAT (250mV typ. @ 0.5A), rated for 42V collector-emitter voltage, and integrated current limiting (1.6A typ.) with thermal shutdown. Soft-start is implemented per channel via external RC ramp on SHDN/SS pins (e.g., 4.7kΩ + 0.33μF), controlling peak switch current rise rate.
Key Specifications

| Max Output Voltage | ±40 V - supports high-voltage OLED bias, TFT-LCD supplies, and dual-rail local power generation. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.4 V to 16 V - compatible with single Li-ion (2.6–4.2 V), multi-cell alkaline, and 5 V/12 V system rails. |
| Switch Current Limit | 1.6 A typical - ensures robust overcurrent protection without external sensing components. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.00 V ±1.3% - precision trimmed bandgap reference used directly for feedback or LED current setting. |

Pinout & Package
LT3471EDD is housed in a low-profile (0.75 mm height), thermally enhanced 10-lead 3 mm × 3 mm plastic DFN package with exposed pad (Pin 11) soldered to PCB ground for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW1 (Pin 10) | Collector of Channel 1 NPN switch | Connects to inductor/diode node; requires minimal trace area to reduce EMI and switching losses. |
| SHDN/SS1 (Pin 9) | Channel 1 enable & soft-start control | ≥1.8 V enables Channel 1; RC ramp controls startup current slew rate; grounded disables. |
| VIN (Pin 8) | Main input supply rail | Accepts 2.4–16 V; must be locally bypassed with ≥4.7 μF ceramic capacitor near pin. |
| SHDN/SS2 (Pin 7) | Channel 2 enable & soft-start control | Independent enable/disable and soft-start for Channel 2; identical behavior to Pin 9. |
| SW2 (Pin 6) | Collector of Channel 2 NPN switch | Second high-current switching node; layout symmetry with SW1 critical for noise reduction. |
| FB1N (Pin 1) | Negative feedback input for Channel 1 | Connects to resistive divider tap in boost mode; tied to GND in inverting topologies. |
| FB1P (Pin 2) | Positive feedback input for Channel 1 | Tied to VREF (1.00 V) or divided reference; sets regulation point via error amplifier. |
| VREF (Pin 3) | 1.00 V buffered reference output | Supplies up to 1.4 mA; requires 0.01–1 μF ceramic bypass; usable as external reference or soft-start source. |
| FB2P (Pin 4) | Positive feedback input for Channel 2 | Functionally identical to FB1P; enables independent output voltage programming per channel. |
| FB2N (Pin 5) | Negative feedback input for Channel 2 | Functionally identical to FB1N; supports separate topology selection (boost/invert) per channel. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent switching channels | Enables simultaneous generation of positive and negative rails (e.g., +7 V and –7 V) from single Li-ion input without cross-regulation issues. |
| 1.2 MHz fixed-frequency operation | Reduces EMI fundamental frequency and allows use of sub-3 mm inductors, shrinking total solution size by >40% vs. 500 kHz alternatives. |
| Low VCE(SAT) bipolar switches | 330 mV at 1.3 A minimizes conduction loss in high-current boost paths, improving efficiency at 3.3 V → 5 V conversion (≥85% at 630 mA). |
| Per-channel soft-start with external RC | Prevents inrush current stress on input capacitors and diodes-critical for reliability in >30 V output applications like xDSL or medical imaging supplies. |
| Ground-sensing error amplifiers | Supports direct feedback from output in inverting topologies without level-shifting circuitry, simplifying design of local ±5 V/±12 V supplies. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output switching regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3589-2 | Monolithic 4-output buck-boost PMIC with I2C interface; lower max VOUT (5.5 V); no bipolar switches | Better suited for low-voltage, digitally controlled multi-rail systems (e.g., FPGA core/I/O); not viable for ±40 V OLED bias | Select LTC3589-2 only when digital programmability and sub-6 V outputs are required; LT3471EDD remains optimal for high-voltage analog bias rails. |
| MAX17504 | Single-channel 60 V synchronous buck controller; external MOSFETs; no inverting capability | Requires discrete components for dual-rail generation; higher BOM count and layout complexity for ±12 V solutions | Choose MAX17504 for high-efficiency, high-current (>2 A) single-rail conversion; LT3471EDD offers integrated dual-channel simplicity for space-constrained bias supplies. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage achievable with the LT3471EDD in boost configuration?
The LT3471EDD supports up to +40 V output in boost mode, as its internal NPN switches are rated for 42 V VCE. This is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and validated in Typical Applications circuits delivering +7 V, +12 V, and +40 V outputs. The LT3471EDD achieves this using standard external diodes (e.g., MBRM140) and inductors sized per the 1.2 MHz switching frequency.
Can the LT3471EDD generate both positive and negative outputs simultaneously?
Yes, the LT3471EDD can generate simultaneous positive and negative outputs-for example, +7 V and –7 V from a 3.3 V Li-ion input-as demonstrated in Figure 2 of the datasheet. Each channel operates independently: Channel 1 configured as a boost (FB1N to divider, FB1P to VREF), Channel 2 as an inverter (FB2N to GND, FB2P to divider). The LT3471EDD's ground-sensing error amplifiers eliminate need for level-shifting circuitry.
What is the purpose of the exposed pad (Pin 11) on the LT3471EDD DFN package?
The exposed pad (Pin 11) on the LT3471EDD is electrically and thermally connected to GND. Per the datasheet, it must be soldered to the PCB ground plane to serve as both the primary thermal dissipation path (θJC = 3°C/W) and low-impedance return for high-current switch nodes. Omitting this connection degrades thermal performance and risks exceeding 125°C junction temperature under full load.
How does the soft-start function work on the LT3471EDD, and what external components are required?
The LT3471EDD implements per-channel soft-start by ramping the voltage on SHDN/SS1 or SHDN/SS2 pins using an external RC network (e.g., 4.7 kΩ + 0.33 μF). As the pin voltage rises from 0 V to 1.8 V, the peak switch current increases linearly, limiting inrush. The LT3471EDD datasheet specifies that soft-start is active only below ~1.8 V and ceases once the pin is fully high-ensuring controlled startup without external timers.
Is the LT3471EDD RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the LT3471EDD#TRPBF variant is RoHS-compliant and features lead-free (Pb-free) finish, as confirmed in the Order Information table. The part marking "LBHM" and packaging description "10-Lead (3mm × 3mm) Plastic DFN" align with Linear Technology's lead-free qualification standards. Aetrix Electronics supplies only certified lead-free versions meeting JEDEC J-STD-609 Category 1 requirements.
