Product details
Overview
LT3483AIDC#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. It is used in OLED bias generation for portable displays.
For engineers reviewing the LT3483AIDC#TRMPBF datasheet, LT3483AIDC#TRMPBF pinout, LT3483AIDC#TRMPBF application, or LT3483AIDC#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include output voltage range (–38V max), shutdown current (<1µA), thermal performance (θJA = 88.5°C/W), and compatibility with low-profile inductors and ceramic capacitors in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The LT3483AIDC#TRMPBF employs a constant off-time (COT) control scheme with internal 300ns off-time delay and hysteresis-based FB comparator (10mV trip hysteresis) to regulate output voltage via single resistor feedback (R1 = –VOUT / 10µA). Its architecture integrates a 40V/400mA NPN switch and on-chip Schottky diode, enabling inverting charge pump or flyback topologies without external diodes.
It supports two primary configurations: inverting charge pump (for |VOUT| > VIN, e.g., 3.6V → –22V) and inverting flyback (for |VOUT| ≤ VIN, e.g., 2.5V–6V → –5V), both leveraging internal current limiting (400mA typical), short-circuit protection, and low VCESAT (200mV at 150mA) to maintain efficiency across load currents from 0.1mA to 25mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 16V - supports single-cell Li+ (3.6V), dual-cell alkaline (3V), 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. |
| Quiescent Current | 40µA active / <1µA shutdown - extends battery life in always-on portable instrumentation and backup systems. |
| Switch Current Limit | 400mA (typ) - provides robust short-circuit tolerance while allowing use of compact 4.7µH–10µH inductors. |
| Switch Off-Time | 300ns (fixed) - permits high-frequency operation with small passive components, minimizing footprint to ~40mm². |
| Feedback Current | 10µA (precisely trimmed) - eliminates loading error and enables accurate one-resistor output programming (R1 = –VOUT / 10µA). |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 88.5°C/W - requires exposed pad soldered to PCB ground plane for full 125°C junction rating. |
Pinout & Package
LT3483AIDC#TRMPBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic DFN package (2mm × 2mm × 0.75mm) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 9, GND). The package supports reflow soldering and requires PCB ground plane connection to the exposed pad for rated thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FB (Pin 3) | Feedback Input | Connects to output via single resistor R1; 10µA sink current sets VOUT = –10µA × R1; 10mV hysteresis enables stable hysteretic regulation. |
| GND (Pins 2 & 3) | Ground Reference | Pins 2 and 3 are internally tied to GND; both must be connected to PCB ground plane for signal integrity and thermal conduction. |
| SW (Pin 1) | Switch Node | Drives external inductor L1; carries high di/dt switching current; requires minimal trace length and tight loop area with D and CFLY. |
| VIN (Pin 6) | Input Supply | Accepts 2.5V–16V; requires ≥1µF local ceramic bypass (4.7µF recommended if >2" from source) to suppress input ripple. |
| D (Pin 5) | Diode Anode | Internal Schottky anode; connects to cathode of external diode (flyback) or flying capacitor (charge pump); rated –40V reverse. |
| SHDN (Pin 4) | Shutdown Control | Logic-level enable: <0.4V = shutdown (<1µA IQ), >1.5V = active; 6–10µA input bias allows direct MCU GPIO drive. |
| NC (Pin 7) | No Connection | Not bonded; must be left unconnected or grounded per layout best practice (no electrical function). |
| Exposed Pad (Pin 9) | Thermal/Ground Plane | Internally connected to GND; must be soldered to large PCB copper area for thermal dissipation and EMI reduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 40V Schottky Diode | Eliminates external diode, reduces BOM count and board area, and improves reliability in portable OLED/LCD bias supplies. |
| One-Resistor Feedback Architecture | Uses precisely trimmed 10µA FB current to set output voltage (R1 = –VOUT / 10µA), removing feedback divider errors and loading effects. |
| 300ns Fixed Off-Time Control | Enables high-frequency switching (>1MHz) with tiny inductors (4.7µH–10µH) and ceramics (0.22µF–4.7µF), achieving solution size as small as 40mm². |
| 400mA Internal Switch with 200mV VCESAT | Delivers high peak current into load transients while minimizing conduction loss and thermal rise in space-constrained DFN package. |
| Output Short-Circuit Protection | Proprietary current-limiting and latch-off behavior prevents damage during sustained output shorts, even at 16V VIN. |

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, 40µA IQ. | Supports simultaneous positive and negative rails; larger footprint; higher complexity for single-rail needs. | Choose LT3463EDD#PBF only when dual-rail generation is required; LT3483AIDC#TRMPBF offers smaller size and simpler design for dedicated negative bias. |
| LT1931ES5#TRMPBF | 1A switch, 1.2MHz/2.2MHz switching, 5.8mA IQ, TSOT-23-5 package, no integrated Schottky. | Higher output current capability but requires external diode; less suitable for ultra-low-power portable bias. | Choose LT1931ES5#TRMPBF for higher-current applications (>50mA); LT3483AIDC#TRMPBF is preferred for micropower (<25mA), transformerless designs. |
Compared with LT3463EDD#PBF and LT1931ES5#TRMPBF, the LT3483AIDC#TRMPBF delivers optimal trade-off of ultra-low quiescent current (40µA), integrated Schottky, and minimal 40mm² solution size-making it uniquely suited for space- and power-constrained negative bias generation where single-rail simplicity is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum negative output voltage achievable with the LT3483AIDC#TRMPBF?
The LT3483AIDC#TRMPBF supports regulated negative output voltages up to –38V, enabled by its 40V internal switch and integrated Schottky diode. This capability is realized in inverting charge pump configuration with appropriate inductor and capacitor selection, and is validated across the full –40°C to 125°C operating temperature range for the LT3483AIDC#TRMPBF variant.
How does the LT3483AIDC#TRMPBF achieve regulation with only one external resistor?
The LT3483AIDC#TRMPBF uses a precisely trimmed 10µA internal current sink at the FB pin, so output voltage is set by R1 = –VOUT / 10µA. This one-resistor method eliminates feedback divider errors and loading effects. The FB comparator has 10mV hysteresis, enabling stable hysteretic control without external compensation components in the LT3483AIDC#TRMPBF design.
Can the LT3483AIDC#TRMPBF operate from a 2.5V input supply?
Yes, the LT3483AIDC#TRMPBF operates over an input voltage range of 2.5V to 16V, including 2.5V. At 2.5V input, it maintains regulation for outputs such as –5V (in flyback mode) or –8V (in charge pump mode), with verified performance down to the minimum VIN specification. Undervoltage lockout activates below 2.0V to prevent unstable operation.
What is the thermal performance of the LT3483AIDC#TRMPBF in its DFN package?
The LT3483AIDC#TRMPBF in the 8-lead 2mm × 2mm DFN package has θJA = 88.5°C/W when the exposed pad (Pin 9) is properly soldered to a PCB ground plane. This allows continuous operation at full load up to 125°C junction temperature. Thermal derating begins above 85°C ambient unless additional copper area or airflow is provided.
Is the LT3483AIDC#TRMPBF pin-compatible with the standard LT3483IDC#TRMPBF?
Yes, the LT3483AIDC#TRMPBF is pin-compatible with the LT3483IDC#TRMPBF - both use identical 8-lead DFN (2mm × 2mm) packages and share the same pinout, electrical interface, and footprint. The key difference is the higher 400mA switch current limit (vs. 200mA) and tighter FB current tolerance in the 'A' version, making LT3483AIDC#TRMPBF a direct performance upgrade without layout changes.
