Product details
Overview
LT3472EDD#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual-channel, constant-frequency current-mode DC/DC converter optimized for generating ± bias voltages in CCD, TFT LCD, and OLED imaging systems. It delivers 15V at 20mA (positive boost) and –8V at 50mA (negative inverter) from a 2.2V–16V input, integrates Schottky diodes, and operates at 1.1MHz with internal sequencing and capacitor-programmable soft-start.
For engineers reviewing the LT3472EDD#TRPBF datasheet, LT3472EDD#TRPBF pinout, LT3472EDD#TRPBF application, or LT3472EDD#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-rail output capability, independent soft-start control per channel, sequencing behavior (positive reaches 88% before negative enables), integrated 50kΩ feedback resistors, and DFN-10 (3mm × 3mm) thermal performance with exposed GND pad.
Technical Context
The LT3472EDD#TRPBF implements two independent current-mode PWM controllers-one for boost (SWP/VPOS) and one for inverting (SWN/DN/VNEG)-each with dedicated error amplifiers (A1/A3), ramp generators, and comparators (A2/A4). The reference voltage is 1.25V for the positive channel and ground-referenced for the negative channel.
Internal sequencing logic monitors FBP voltage and disables the negative channel until FBP reaches ~1.1V (≈88% of 1.25V), ensuring VPOS + VNEG remains positive during startup. Soft-start is implemented via external capacitors on SSP and SSN, each internally biased to 1.25V through a 50kΩ resistor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 2.2V to 16V - supports single Li-ion (3V–4.2V), 5V rails, and wide industrial inputs without pre-regulation. |
| Positive Output | Up to +34V at 20mA - configured via single resistor (e.g., 550kΩ yields 15V), enabling CCD pixel biasing. |
| Negative Output | Up to –34V at 50mA - set by single resistor (e.g., 320kΩ yields –8V), suitable for CCD substrate bias and TFT gate drivers. |
| Switching Frequency | 0.9MHz to 1.4MHz (typ. 1.1MHz) - enables use of small 22µH/47µH inductors and low-profile ceramic capacitors. |
| Integrated Diodes | Internal Schottky (DP/DN) - eliminates external diodes, reduces BOM count, and simplifies layout for space-constrained imaging modules. |
| Soft-Start Control | Capacitor-programmable per channel (SSP/SSN) - allows independent ramp timing to manage inrush and system-level power sequencing. |
| Sequencing Threshold | FBP ≥ 1.02V to enable negative channel - ensures VPOS dominates startup, preventing negative rail collapse in CCD sensor bias networks. |
Pinout & Package
LT3472EDD#TRPBF is housed in a 10-lead, 3mm × 3mm plastic DFN package with an exposed GND pad (Pin 11) requiring solder connection to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity. Package height is 0.75mm max, footprint area is 9mm², and thermal resistance is θJA = 43°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SWP (Pin 1) | Positive switch node | Connects to boost inductor; carries high-frequency switching current for VPOS generation. |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Main input supply | Accepts 2.2V–16V; requires local X5R/X7R ceramic bypass (≥2.2µF) near pin for stability. |
| SHDN (Pin 3) | Enable/disable control | Logic-high (≥0.8V) enables both channels; logic-low (≤0.3V) reduces quiescent current to 0.1µA. |
| SWN (Pin 4) | Negative switch node | Connects to inverter flying capacitor and input inductor; drives charge-pump inversion path. |
| DN (Pin 5) | Inverter Schottky anode | Internal diode anode; connects to flying capacitor and output inductor for negative rail synthesis. |
| FBN (Pin 6) | Negative feedback input | Ground-referenced sense point; sets VNEG via R2 where VNEG = –1.25 × (R2 / 50kΩ). |
| SSN (Pin 7) | Negative soft-start | Capacitor-to-GND sets ramp time for VNEG; internal 50kΩ pull-up to 1.25V defines RC time constant. |
| FBP (Pin 8) | Positive feedback input | 1.25V-referenced sense point; sets VPOS via R1 where VPOS = 1.25 × (1 + R1 / 50kΩ). |
| SSP (Pin 9) | Positive soft-start | Capacitor-to-GND sets ramp time for VPOS; same internal bias as SSN for matched control. |
| VPOS (Pin 10) | Positive output | Regulated boost output; requires ≥2.2µF ceramic output capacitor for ripple suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent regulators | Simultaneous +15V/20mA and –8V/50mA outputs from single Li-ion cell - eliminates need for separate boost/inverter ICs in imaging bias supplies. |
| Capacitor-programmable soft-start | Separate SSP and SSN pins allow independent control of VPOS and VNEG ramp rates - prevents cross-talk and enables precise sequencing in multi-rail CCD systems. |
| Internal Schottky diodes | Integrated DP and DN reduce component count by two diodes and simplify layout - critical for compact camera modules where board area is constrained. |
| Output voltage setting with one resistor | Each channel uses only one external resistor (R1/R2) due to internal 50kΩ feedback divider - cuts BOM cost and improves accuracy vs. discrete resistor networks. |
| Fixed 1.1MHz switching frequency | Enables use of tiny 22µH inductors and low-ESR ceramic caps - achieves <1mm profile and <50mm² solution size for portable imaging applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output DC/DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3463EDD#TRPBF | Lower positive switch current limit (250mA vs. 350mA), lower negative switch current limit (100mA vs. 400mA), same DFN-10 package and 1.2MHz frequency. | Optimized for lower-current CCD and sensor bias; lacks internal sequencing logic - requires external control for VPOS/VNEG startup order. | Select when total output current ≤30mA per rail and sequencing is managed externally; offers lower quiescent current (40µA vs. 2.8mA). |
| LT1945EDD#TRPBF | Higher switching frequency (1.2MHz), higher positive switch current (350mA), no internal Schottky diodes - requires two external diodes. | Designed for general-purpose dual-rail bias; lacks capacitor-programmable soft-start and fixed sequencing - demands more external components and layout effort. | Select when higher output current (up to ±34V/100mA) is required and board space permits external diodes; verify thermal performance without integrated diodes. |
Compared with LT3472EDD#TRPBF, LT3463EDD#TRPBF trades sequencing and higher current capability for lower IQ and smaller solution size, while LT1945EDD#TRPBF provides greater current headroom at the cost of added BOM complexity and loss of integrated protection features.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage capability of the LT3472EDD#TRPBF?
The LT3472EDD#TRPBF supports up to +34V on the positive (VPOS) output and –34V on the negative (VNEG) output, limited by internal switch voltage ratings (SWP/SWN/VPOS = 36V, DN = –36V). Output voltages are set using external resistors per channel, with typical configurations delivering +15V and –8V from a Li-ion input.
Does the LT3472EDD#TRPBF require external Schottky diodes?
No, the LT3472EDD#TRPBF integrates Schottky diodes for both the boost (DP) and inverter (DN) paths, eliminating the need for external diodes in standard applications. This integration reduces component count, PCB area, and layout complexity - particularly beneficial in space-constrained imaging modules.
How does the internal sequencing function in the LT3472EDD#TRPBF?
The LT3472EDD#TRPBF monitors the FBP voltage and inhibits the negative channel until FBP reaches approximately 1.02V to 1.18V (typically ~1.1V), corresponding to 88% of its final regulated value. This ensures VPOS stabilizes before VNEG begins ramping, guaranteeing VPOS + VNEG remains positive and preventing CCD sensor latch-up.
What package type and thermal characteristics does the LT3472EDD#TRPBF use?
The LT3472EDD#TRPBF uses a 10-lead 3mm × 3mm plastic DFN package with an exposed GND pad (Pin 11). Its thermal resistance is θJA = 43°C/W and θJC = 3°C/W. The exposed pad must be soldered to the PCB ground plane using multiple vias to ensure proper heat dissipation and electrical grounding.
Can the LT3472EDD#TRPBF operate from a single-cell Li-ion battery?
Yes, the LT3472EDD#TRPBF operates across a 2.2V to 16V input range, fully supporting single-cell Li-ion batteries (3.0V–4.2V). It delivers 15V at 20mA and –8V at 50mA under these conditions, making it ideal for portable imaging devices where input voltage varies significantly during discharge.
