Product details
Overview
LT3482IUD#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a fixed-frequency current-mode boost DC/DC converter with integrated voltage doubler and high-side APD current monitor, designed specifically for biasing avalanche photodiodes in optical receivers. It delivers up to 90V output from 2.5V–16V input, features 280mA internal switch, 650kHz/1.1MHz selectable switching frequency, and ±10% APD current monitoring accuracy across four decades (250nA–2.5mA).
For engineers reviewing the LT3482IUD#TRPBF datasheet, LT3482IUD#TRPBF pinout, LT3482IUD#TRPBF application, or LT3482IUD#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include APD bias stability under temperature variation, high-side current monitor linearity at low photocurrents, dual-output voltage doubling architecture, and QFN-16 thermal performance in compact optical modules.
Technical Context
The LT3482IUD#TRPBF employs constant-frequency current-mode control with internal ramp compensation and a 1.235V reference (adjustable via CTRL pin), enabling precise regulation of high-voltage APD bias while maintaining predictable EMI profiles. Its functional block includes integrated Schottky diodes for both boost and charge-pump paths, eliminating external diodes and reducing solution footprint.
It integrates a 5:1 high-side APD current mirror with MONIN pin rated to 90V and MON output clamped at 11.5V, supporting closed-loop APD bias control through external resistor feedback. The device operates across –40°C to 125°C and uses internal compensation-no external compensation network required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Up to 90V - supports full bias range for high-gain APDs in fiber optic receivers. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 16V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion, 3.3V/5V/12V system rails. |
| Switch Current Limit | 280mA typical - sets maximum power delivery capability for APD load transients. |
| Switching Frequency | 650kHz or 1.1MHz (fSET-selectable) - enables trade-off between component size and efficiency. |
| APD Monitor Accuracy | Better than ±10% over –40°C to 125°C - ensures stable gain calibration in uncontrolled environments. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.235V (internal) or externally adjustable via CTRL pin - allows dynamic APD voltage tuning without polarity inversion. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - preserves battery life in portable optical sensing applications. |
Pinout & Package
LT3482IUD#TRPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 3mm × 3mm 16-lead plastic QFN package with exposed pad (Pin 17) soldered to PCB ground for optimal thermal dissipation (θJA = 68°C/W). The package supports reflow assembly and meets JEDEC MO-220 WEED-2 standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| APD (Pin 2) | APD cathode connection node | High-side current sense input; accepts up to 90V common-mode voltage for direct APD integration. |
| MONIN (Pin 3) | Monitor supply input | Provides bias for internal current mirror; requires external RC filter to suppress supply ripple affecting monitor accuracy. |
| VOUT2 (Pin 4) | Voltage doubler output | Forms second stage of charge pump with VOUT1 and internal Schottky diodes to reach 90V output. |
| VOUT1 (Pin 5) | Main boost output | Primary regulated high-voltage rail; connects to flying capacitor (CFLY) and output divider for FB loop. |
| PUMP (Pin 6) | Charge pump node | Completes voltage-doubling path with SW and internal Schottky; must be decoupled with 50V-rated capacitor. |
| SW (Pins 7, 8) | Power switch drain terminals | Drives external inductor; dual pins reduce trace inductance and improve EMI performance. |
| GND (Pins 9, 10) | Ground return paths | Internally connected; both must be tied to low-impedance PCB ground plane for thermal and noise control. |
| VIN (Pin 11) | Input power supply | Accepts 2.5V–16V; requires local 1µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| SHDN (Pin 12) | Enable/shutdown control | Logic-level input: ≥1.5V enables operation and initiates soft-start; ≤0.4V disables with <1µA quiescent current. |
| CTRL (Pin 13) | Reference override | Adjusts FB threshold from 0V to 1.2V; enables real-time APD voltage tuning without changing resistor divider. |
| FB (Pin 14) | Feedback input | Senses resistor divider output; 30nA bias current minimizes divider error and power loss. |
| fSET (Pin 15) | Frequency select | Tie to GND for 650kHz; tie to VIN or ≥1.5V for 1.1MHz - selects inductor/capacitor size vs. efficiency trade-off. |
| MON (Pin 16) | Current monitor output | Sources 20% of APD current (IMON = 0.2 × IAPD); converts to voltage via external RMON for analog monitoring. |
| Exposed Pad (Pin 17) | Thermal & electrical ground | Mandatory PCB solder connection; provides primary thermal path and reduces junction-to-board resistance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated voltage doubler | Enables 90V output using only one inductor and two internal Schottky diodes - eliminates external charge-pump IC and reduces BOM count by 4+ components. |
| High-side APD current monitor | Delivers 20% mirrored current (IMON) with ±10% accuracy over –40°C to 125°C and 250nA–2.5mA dynamic range - supports closed-loop bias control in temperature-varying optical modules. |
| Selectable switching frequency | 650kHz or 1.1MHz via fSET pin - allows optimization of inductor size (e.g., 10µH @ 650kHz vs. 6.8µH @ 1.1MHz) without redesigning feedback or compensation. |
| Internal compensation | Eliminates need for external Type-II/III compensation network - simplifies layout, improves production yield, and guarantees stability across all operating conditions. |
| Soft-start and shutdown | SHDN pin provides controlled enable/disable with built-in soft-start (1.5V–2V transition) - prevents inrush current spikes and protects APD during power cycling. |
Applications
| Fiber Optic Receiver Modules | Optical Time-Domain Reflectometers (OTDR) |

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage achievable with the LT3482IUD#TRPBF?
The LT3482IUD#TRPBF supports up to 90V output using its integrated voltage doubler architecture, combining VOUT1 and VOUT2 with internal Schottky diodes and external flying capacitors. This is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and validated in Typical Application circuits TA01a and TA02a, where 85V and 70V outputs are demonstrated at 2.5mA and 2mA APD loads respectively.
How does the LT3482IUD#TRPBF achieve APD current monitoring accuracy across temperature?
The LT3482IUD#TRPBF achieves better than ±10% relative accuracy over –40°C to 125°C using a matched high-side current mirror with trimmed gain and temperature-compensated biasing. Electrical Characteristics tables specify this accuracy applies across the full operating range (denoted by ●), and Figure G06 confirms <±2% error drift over temperature at IAPD = 250nA, 10µA, and 2.5mA.
Can the LT3482IUD#TRPBF operate without external compensation components?
Yes, the LT3482IUD#TRPBF features internal compensation, eliminating the need for external Type-II or Type-III networks. This is explicitly stated in the FEATURES list and verified in the Functional Diagram (page 6), where no external compensation nodes appear. Stability is guaranteed across all input/output conditions per the datasheet's internal compensation guarantee.
What is the role of the CTRL pin in the LT3482IUD#TRPBF, and how does it affect regulation?
The CTRL pin on the LT3482IUD#TRPBF overrides the internal 1.235V reference, allowing the FB pin to regulate to any voltage between 0V and 1.2V. When CTRL = 0.5V, the FB pin regulates to 0.5V ±15mV (per Electrical Characteristics), enabling dynamic APD voltage adjustment. Holding CTRL >1.5V reverts to the internal reference - confirmed in the Pin Functions section and Figure F01.
Is the LT3482IUD#TRPBF pin-compatible with other variants in the LT3482 family?
Yes, the LT3482IUD#TRPBF shares identical pinout, package (16-lead 3mm × 3mm QFN), and footprint with LT3482EUD#PBF, LT3482EUD#TRPBF, and LT3482IUD#PBF - all listed under the same UD PACKAGE description with identical Pin Configuration diagrams and mechanical drawings (page 11). Only temperature grade and packaging differ.
