Product details
Overview
LT3483AEDC#TRPBF 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. It is used in OLED bias generation for portable displays.
For engineers reviewing the LT3483AEDC#TRPBF datasheet, LT3483AEDC#TRPBF pinout, LT3483AEDC#TRPBF application, or LT3483AEDC#TRPBF 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 designs.
Technical Context
The LT3483AEDC#TRPBF employs a constant off-time (COT) control architecture with precise 10µA feedback current reference, enabling single-resistor output programming and eliminating feedback loading. Its internal 40V/400mA NPN switch and integrated Schottky diode support high-efficiency inverting charge pump and flyback topologies.
Operation relies on FB pin hysteresis (10mV) and comparator-driven latch control: when FB falls below ~0V, the switch activates for a fixed 300ns off-time, ramping inductor current until reaching the 400mA current limit, after which energy transfers via the integrated Schottky to charge the flying capacitor and regulate VOUT.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 16V - supports single-cell Li+ (3.0–4.2V), dual-cell alkaline, and industrial 12V rails without external regulators. |
| Output Voltage Range | Up to –38V - enables high-voltage OLED and LCD bias without transformers or external diodes. |
| Switch Current Limit | 400mA - higher than LT3483 (200mA), allowing greater output current or improved short-circuit robustness in flyback configurations. |
| Quiescent Current | 40µA active / <1µA shutdown - extends battery life in always-on portable systems like handheld medical devices. |
| Fixed Off-Time | 300ns - permits use of sub-10µH inductors (e.g., 4.7µH) and low-ESR ceramic capacitors, minimizing PCB area to ~40mm². |
| Feedback Reference | 10µA sink - enables precise output setting with one resistor (RFB = –VOUT/10µA), removing need for divider networks or op-amp compensation. |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 88.5°C/W - requires exposed pad soldered to PCB ground plane to sustain 25mA continuous load at 85°C ambient. |
Pinout & Package
LT3483AEDC#TRPBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic DFN package (2mm × 2mm × 0.75mm) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 9, GND). The package supports reflow-compatible assembly and achieves θJA = 88.5°C/W when the exposed pad is properly soldered to a PCB ground plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FB (Pin 3) | Feedback Input | Sinks precisely trimmed 10µA; connects to output via single resistor to set VOUT = –10µA × RFB. |
| GND (Pins 2 & 3) | Ground Reference | Pins 2 and 3 must be tied together and connected to system ground; exposed pad (Pin 9) is also GND and critical for thermal performance. |
| SW (Pin 1) | Switch Node | Connects to inductor L1A and flying capacitor; carries high dv/dt switching waveform - trace length must be minimized. |
| VIN (Pin 6) | Input Supply | Accepts 2.5V–16V; requires ≥1µF local ceramic bypass (4.7µF recommended if >2" from source). |
| D (Pin 5) | Diode Anode | Internal Schottky anode; connects to flying capacitor cathode and inductor L1B (flyback) or external diode (charge pump). |
| SHDN (Pin 4) | Shutdown Control | Active-high logic input; <0.4V disables device (<1µA IQ); >1.5V enables operation. |
| NC (Pin 7) | No Connection | Not internally bonded - must remain unconnected and unstubbed on PCB. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 40V Schottky Diode | Eliminates external diode, reduces BOM count and footprint, and avoids reverse recovery losses in high-frequency operation. |
| One-Resistor Feedback | Uses internal 10µA current sink to set output voltage - simplifies layout, removes divider ratio errors, and improves regulation accuracy over temperature. |
| 300ns Fixed Off-Time Control | Enables stable operation across wide load range without loop compensation; supports ultra-small inductors (4.7µH) and fast transient response. |
| Output Short-Circuit Protection | Proprietary current limiting prevents damage during sustained output shorts, even at 16V input - no external foldback circuitry required. |
| Low 200mV VCE(SAT) | Reduces conduction loss at 150mA, improving efficiency in medium-load conditions typical of display bias applications. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3483EDC#TRPBF | Same package and pinout; lower 200mA switch current limit and 200mV VCE(SAT); identical 40µA IQ and 300ns off-time. | Rated for ≤15mA loads at –22V; unsuitable for >20mA OLED bias or high-current flyback designs. | Select LT3483EDC#TRPBF only when output current demand is ≤15mA and cost sensitivity outweighs headroom requirements. |
| LT3463EDE#TRPBF | Dual-output (boost + inverter); 250mA switch; integrated Schottkys; DFN-10 package; 40µA IQ; supports ±40V outputs. | Provides simultaneous positive and negative rails; larger footprint (3mm × 3mm); higher complexity for single-rail needs. | Choose LT3463EDE#TRPBF only when dual-rail (e.g., ±12V) generation is required - not a drop-in replacement for single inverting function. |
Compared with LT3483EDC#TRPBF, the LT3483AEDC#TRPBF offers double the switch current (400mA vs 200mA) for higher output capability and better short-circuit margin, while maintaining identical quiescent current, package, and feedback architecture; versus LT3463EDE#TRPBF, it trades dual-rail flexibility for smaller size, lower cost, and simpler design in single-negative-rail applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage achievable with the LT3483AEDC#TRPBF?
The LT3483AEDC#TRPBF supports regulated negative output voltages up to –38V, enabled by its internal 40V-rated power switch and integrated Schottky diode. This capability is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Typical Applications sections of the official datasheet, and applies across the full –40°C to 85°C operating temperature range for the E-grade part.
Does the LT3483AEDC#TRPBF require external compensation components?
No, the LT3483AEDC#TRPBF does not require external compensation components. Its constant off-time control architecture and precisely trimmed 10µA feedback current reference eliminate the need for loop compensation networks. Output voltage is set with a single resistor from FB to VOUT, and stability is inherent across load and input voltage variations per the datasheet's application circuits and performance curves.
How does the LT3483AEDC#TRPBF differ from the standard LT3483EDC#TRPBF?
The LT3483AEDC#TRPBF features a higher 400mA switch current limit (vs 200mA in LT3483EDC#TRPBF), identical 40µA quiescent current, same 8-lead DFN package and pinout, and shares all electrical specifications except switch rating. This makes the LT3483AEDC#TRPBF suitable for higher-output-current applications such as –22V at 8mA or –8V at 25mA, where the base LT3483 may approach current limit.
Can the LT3483AEDC#TRPBF be used in inverting charge pump and flyback topologies?
Yes, the LT3483AEDC#TRPBF supports both inverting charge pump and inverting flyback topologies. The datasheet provides distinct application schematics, component recommendations, and performance data for each: charge pump for |VOUT| > VIN (e.g., 3.6V → –22V), and flyback for |VOUT| ≤ VIN (e.g., 3.6V → –5V). Pin connections and external component values differ between configurations per the Applications Information section.
What is the role of the NC pin (Pin 7) on the LT3483AEDC#TRPBF?
The NC pin (Pin 7) on the LT3483AEDC#TRPBF is not internally connected and must remain unconnected on the PCB. It is not a no-connect by oversight but a deliberate design choice to maintain pin compatibility with other variants in the family. Routing traces to or placing copper near Pin 7 is discouraged, as it may introduce parasitic coupling or violate the recommended layout guidelines in the datasheet.
