Product details
Overview
LT3483AEDC#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower inverting DC/DC converter with integrated 40V Schottky diode and one-resistor feedback, delivering regulated negative outputs up to –38V from 2.5V–16V input. It features 40µA quiescent current, 300ns fixed off-time control, and a 400mA internal power switch in an 8-lead 2mm × 2mm DFN package. Used in OLED bias, handheld computers, and LCD bias circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LT3483AEDC#TRMPBF datasheet, LT3483AEDC#TRMPBF pinout, LT3483AEDC#TRMPBF application, or LT3483AEDC#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include output voltage range (–38V max), shutdown current (<1µA), switch current limit (400mA), thermal performance (θJA = 88.5°C/W), and compatibility with low-profile inductors and ceramic capacitors in space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The LT3483AEDC#TRMPBF employs a constant off-time control architecture with internal 10µA feedback current reference, enabling precise one-resistor output programming (R1 = –VOUT/10µA). Its 300ns minimum off-time supports high-frequency operation with small passive components.
It integrates a 40V/400mA NPN power switch and on-chip Schottky diode, eliminating external rectification. Output short-circuit protection is implemented via proprietary current limiting that remains functional even at 16V input during fault conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 2.5V to 16V - supports single-cell Li+ to multi-cell battery inputs without external regulators. |
| Output Voltage Range | Up to –38V - enables high-voltage bias for OLED and LCD panels without transformers. |
| Switch Current Limit | 400mA - higher than LT3483 (200mA), allowing greater output current in charge-pump or flyback topologies. |
| Quiescent Current | 40µA active / <1µA shutdown - extends battery life in always-on portable systems. |
| Switch VCE(SAT) | 200mV at 150mA - minimizes conduction loss and improves efficiency at medium loads. |
| Fixed Off-Time | 300ns - enables use of sub-10µH inductors and reduces footprint in compact layouts. |
| Feedback Current | 10µA (trimmed) - eliminates loading error and simplifies resistor-based output setting. |
Pinout & Package
LT3483AEDC#TRMPBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic DFN package (2mm × 2mm × 0.75mm) with exposed GND pad (Pin 9) for thermal management. Pin 6 is NC (no internal connection).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FB (Pin 3) | Feedback input | Connects to single resistor R1; sets output via IFB = 10µA sink - enables accurate, load-independent regulation. |
| GND (Pins 2 & 3) | Ground reference | Pins 2 and 3 both tied to PCB ground plane; exposed pad (Pin 9) must be soldered to GND for θJA = 88.5°C/W. |
| SW (Pin 1) | Switch node | Drives external inductor L1; carries high dI/dt - requires minimized trace length and solid ground return. |
| VIN (Pin 6) | Input supply | Accepts 2.5V–16V; requires ≥1µF local ceramic bypass capacitor near pin. |
| D (Pin 5) | Diode anode | Internal Schottky anode; connects to flying capacitor (charge pump) or coupled inductor (flyback). |
| SHDN (Pin 4) | Shutdown control | Active-high logic: >1.5V enables, <0.4V disables; draws only 6–10µA when active. |
| NC (Pin 6) | No connection | Not bonded internally - must be left unconnected or tied to GND per layout best practice. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 40V Schottky diode | Eliminates external diode, reduces BOM count and board area in inverting charge-pump configurations. |
| One-resistor feedback | Uses internal 10µA current source - removes need for resistor divider, avoids output loading error and improves regulation accuracy. |
| Output short-circuit protection | Proprietary current limiting sustains safe operation at full input voltage (16V) during output faults - no external current-sense circuitry required. |
| Low 300ns off-time | Enables use of 4.7µH–10µH low-profile inductors and 0.1µF–4.7µF ceramic capacitors - ideal for ultra-thin portable devices. |
| Thermally enhanced DFN | Exposed GND pad delivers θJA = 88.5°C/W - supports continuous operation at 25mA load in 40mm² solution size without heatsinking. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3463EDD#PBF | Dual-output (boost + inverter); 250mA switch; integrated Schottkys; DFN-10 package. | Supports simultaneous positive and negative rails - suitable where system requires ±VOUT from single input. | Choose LT3463EDD#PBF if dual-rail generation is needed; LT3483AEDC#TRMPBF is preferred for single-rail, higher-current (400mA) negative-only applications. |
| LT1931ES5#TRMPBF | 1A switch; 2.2MHz switching; 5.8mA quiescent current; TSOT-23-5 package. | Higher switching frequency allows smaller inductors but consumes more idle power - better for high-load, low-size applications than ultra-low-power ones. | Choose LT1931ES5#TRMPBF when >100mA output current and minimal inductor size are critical; LT3483AEDC#TRMPBF excels in micropower (<40µA) and high-voltage (–38V) scenarios. |
Compared with LT3463EDD#PBF and LT1931ES5#TRMPBF, the LT3483AEDC#TRMPBF offers the lowest quiescent current (40µA) and highest negative output capability (–38V) in the smallest footprint (2mm × 2mm), making it optimal for battery-sensitive, high-voltage portable biasing where only a single negative rail is required.

FAQ
What is the maximum negative output voltage achievable with the LT3483AEDC#TRMPBF?
The LT3483AEDC#TRMPBF supports regulated negative outputs up to –38V, enabled by its 40V internal power switch and integrated Schottky diode. This capability is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings (D pin = –40V) and Applications section, and is achievable in inverting charge-pump topology with appropriate external components - no transformer required.
How does the LT3483AEDC#TRMPBF differ from the standard LT3483 version?
The LT3483AEDC#TRMPBF features a higher switch current limit (400mA vs. 200mA for LT3483), enabling greater output current in both charge-pump and flyback configurations. Electrical Characteristics tables explicitly list separate min/typ/max values for LT3483 and LT3483A across switch current limit, and the Order Information table confirms distinct part markings (LFXD for LT3483A vs. LCYT for LT3483).
Can the LT3483AEDC#TRMPBF operate from a single 3.6V Li+ battery?
Yes - the LT3483AEDC#TRMPBF operates from 2.5V to 16V input, fully covering the 3.0V–4.2V discharge curve of a single Li+ cell. Typical applications shown in the datasheet (e.g., 3.6V to –8V and 3.6V to –22V converters) validate reliable startup and regulation across this range, including under light-load and shutdown conditions.
What is the purpose of the NC pin (Pin 6) on the LT3483AEDC#TRMPBF DFN package?
Pin 6 on the LT3483AEDC#TRMPBF is designated NC (No Connection) per the Pin Functions section and Package Description - it is not internally bonded and serves no electrical function. The datasheet recommends leaving it unconnected; however, grounding it is acceptable per standard DFN layout practice to improve mechanical stability and reduce floating node risk.
Does the LT3483AEDC#TRMPBF require an external compensation network?
No - the LT3483AEDC#TRMPBF uses a constant off-time control scheme with internal compensation and does not require external compensation components. The one-resistor feedback architecture (R1 = –VOUT/10µA) and fixed 300ns off-time eliminate loop stability concerns associated with traditional voltage-mode controllers, simplifying design and reducing component count.
