Product details
Overview
LT3483EDC#PBF 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 200mA switch current limit in an 8-lead 2mm × 2mm DFN package. Used in OLED bias generation for portable displays.
For engineers reviewing the LT3483EDC#PBF datasheet, LT3483EDC#PBF pinout, LT3483EDC#PBF application, or LT3483EDC#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 200mV VCE(SAT) at 150mA, –40°C to +85°C operating range, integrated Schottky, and compatibility with low-profile inductors for space-constrained battery-powered systems.
Technical Context
The LT3483EDC#PBF employs a constant off-time (COT) control architecture with internal 300ns off-time delay and hysteresis-based FB comparator (10mV trip hysteresis). Its 200mA current-limited NPN switch operates with 200mV saturation voltage at 150mA, enabling high efficiency across light-to-moderate loads.
Feedback uses a precision 10µA sink current referenced to GND, allowing single-resistor output programming (R1 = –VOUT/10µA). The device supports both inverting charge pump and inverting flyback topologies, with D-pin configured as Schottky anode and SW-pin driving external inductor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 16V - supports single-cell Li+ up to multi-cell battery inputs without external regulators. |
| Output Voltage Range | Up to –38V - enables high-voltage negative bias for OLED, LCD, and CCD applications without transformers. |
| Quiescent Current | 40µA active / <1µA shutdown - extends battery life in always-on portable instrumentation and backup systems. |
| Switch Current Limit | 200mA - limits peak inductor current to protect internal transistor during startup or short-circuit events. |
| Switch VCE(SAT) | 200mV at 150mA - minimizes conduction loss and thermal rise in compact DFN package. |
| FB Reference Current | 10µA sink - enables precise, resistor-only output setting with negligible loading error on VOUT. |
| Off-Time | 300ns - permits use of small-value inductors (e.g., 4.7µH–10µH) and ceramic capacitors for minimal PCB footprint. |
Pinout & Package
LT3483EDC#PBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic DFN package (2mm × 2mm × 0.75mm) with exposed pad (Pin 9) tied to GND for thermal management. Pin 6 is NC (no internal connection).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FB (Pin 3) | Feedback Input | Sinks 10µA reference current; connects to output via R1 to set VOUT = –10µA × R1. |
| GND (Pins 2 & 3) | Ground Reference | Dual ground pins reduce impedance; exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for θJA = 88.5°C/W. |
| SW (Pin 1) | Switch Node | Drives external inductor L1; carries high di/dt switching current - requires short, low-inductance routing. |
| VIN (Pin 6) | Input Supply | Accepts 2.5V–16V; requires ≥1µF local ceramic bypass capacitor near pin. |
| D (Pin 5) | Schottky Anode | Internal 40V Schottky diode anode; connects to flying capacitor cathode in charge pump or inductor in flyback. |
| SHDN (Pin 4) | Shutdown Control | Active-high logic input; <0.4V disables device (<1µA IQ), >1.5V enables operation. |
| 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 while supporting –38V output capability. |
| One-Resistor Feedback | Uses internal 10µA sink to set output voltage precisely without divider network errors or loading effects. |
| Low 300ns Off-Time | Enables use of sub-10µH inductors and 0.22µF–4.7µF ceramic output capacitors for ultra-compact designs. |
| Output Short-Circuit Protection | Proprietary current limiting prevents damage during sustained output shorts, even at 16V input. |
| Thermally Enhanced DFN | Exposed pad and dual GND pins achieve 88.5°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance for reliable 200mA operation. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3483ES6#PBF | Same core IC but in 6-lead TSOT-23 package; no exposed thermal pad; higher θJA (192°C/W); identical electrical specs. | Preferred for ultra-thin assemblies where 0.75mm DFN height is unacceptable; lower thermal capacity limits continuous 200mA use. | Select LT3483ES6#PBF only when board thickness constraints override thermal performance requirements. |
| LT1617ES5#PBF | Lower IQ (20µA), wider VIN (1.2V–15V), same –34V max output; uses external Schottky; different pinout and control scheme. | Better for ultra-low-power coin-cell applications; requires external diode and feedback divider; not drop-in compatible. | Choose LT1617ES5#PBF when sub-20µA quiescent current is mandatory and board space allows external components. |
Compared with LT3483EDC#PBF, the LT3483ES6#PBF offers identical functionality in a thinner but thermally limited package, while the LT1617ES5#PBF trades integration for lower IQ and broader input range - neither is pin-compatible, requiring layout revision and recalibration of feedback and magnetics.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage achievable with the LT3483EDC#PBF?
The LT3483EDC#PBF supports regulated negative outputs up to –38V, enabled by its internal 40V-rated power switch and integrated Schottky diode. This capability eliminates the need for external high-voltage transistors or transformer-based topologies in applications such as OLED and LCD bias generation. Output voltage is set by a single feedback resistor using the formula R1 = –VOUT/10µA.
Does the LT3483EDC#PBF require an external Schottky diode?
No, the LT3483EDC#PBF integrates a 40V Schottky diode with anode accessible at the D pin. This eliminates the need for an external diode in standard inverting charge pump or flyback configurations, reducing component count, board area, and potential layout errors. The internal diode supports up to 350mA peak current and exhibits 0.64V forward drop at 150mA.
What is the purpose of the NC pin on the LT3483EDC#PBF DFN package?
Pin 6 on the LT3483EDC#PBF is marked NC (No Connection) and is not internally bonded. It must remain unconnected in the PCB layout. While some designs tie NC pins to GND for mechanical stability, Linear's datasheet specifies no internal connection - grounding it provides no functional benefit and may risk unintended coupling in high-frequency switching paths near the SW and D pins.
How does the LT3483EDC#PBF achieve low quiescent current in shutdown mode?
The LT3483EDC#PBF draws less than 1µA in shutdown mode when the SHDN pin is pulled below 0.4V. Internal circuitry - including the reference, comparators, and driver - is fully disabled, leaving only leakage paths active. This ultra-low shutdown current makes the LT3483EDC#PBF ideal for battery-backed systems where months of standby time are required without significant self-discharge.
Can the LT3483EDC#PBF be used in inverting flyback topology?
Yes, the LT3483EDC#PBF supports inverting flyback configuration using a coupled inductor. In this mode, the D pin connects to the secondary winding, and the SW pin drives the primary. The device's 200mA switch current limit and 40V rating accommodate typical flyback designs generating –5V to –15V outputs. Layout must minimize SW/D node loop area, and a 0.47µF capacitor between SW and D is recommended to suppress ringing.
