Product details
Overview
LT3483EDC#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 200mA internal power switch in an 8-lead 2mm × 2mm DFN package. Used in OLED bias generation for portable displays.
For engineers reviewing the LT3483EDC#TRMPBF datasheet, LT3483EDC#TRMPBF pinout, LT3483EDC#TRMPBF application, or LT3483EDC#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 200mA switch current limit, –38V output capability, 40µA no-load IQ, and DFN thermal performance with exposed pad grounding.
Technical Context
The LT3483EDC#TRMPBF implements a constant off-time (COT) control architecture with internal 300ns off-time delay and hysteresis-based FB comparator (trip point 0–12mV, 10mV hysteresis). Its switch current limit is trimmed to 170–230mA (typ. 200mA), and it uses a precision 10µA feedback current source enabling single-resistor output programming (R1 = –VOUT / 10µA).
It integrates a 40V/200mA NPN power switch with 200mV VCESAT at 150mA and an internal Schottky diode rated for 350mA forward current and –40V reverse voltage. Shutdown mode draws <1µA, and the device supports both inverting charge pump and flyback topologies without external diodes.
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 pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Range | Up to –38V - enables high-voltage OLED and LCD bias without transformers or external diodes. |
| Switch Current Limit | 200mA (typ.) - sets maximum deliverable load current and short-circuit protection threshold in flyback/charge pump modes. |
| Quiescent Current | 40µA (active), <1µA (shutdown) - extends battery life in always-on portable systems like handheld medical devices. |
| Switch Off-Time | 300ns (fixed) - allows use of sub-10µH inductors and low-profile ceramics, minimizing solution size to ~40mm². |
| Feedback Current | 10µA (precisely trimmed) - eliminates feedback resistor loading error and enables accurate single-resistor VOUT setting. |
| Package | 8-Lead DFN (2mm × 2mm × 0.75mm) with exposed GND pad - provides 88.5°C/W θJA and requires PCB thermal via array for full 125°C operation. |
Pinout & Package
LT3483EDC#TRMPBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic DFN (2mm × 2mm) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 9 = GND). The package supports reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020 and requires solder paste stencil design for the exposed pad.
| 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 must be tied together and connected to low-impedance PCB ground plane; exposed pad (Pin 9) is mandatory GND connection for thermal and EMI performance. |
| SW (Pin 1) | Switch Node | Drives external inductor L1A; carries high di/dt switching current; requires shortest possible trace to minimize ringing and EMI. |
| VIN (Pin 6) | Input Supply | Accepts 2.5–16V; requires ≥1µF local ceramic bypass (4.7µF recommended if >2" from source) to suppress input ripple and supply transients. |
| D (Pin 5) | Integrated Diode Anode | Connects to cathode of flying capacitor (charge pump) or secondary winding (flyback); rated –40V reverse, 350mA forward. |
| SHDN (Pin 4) | Shutdown Control | Logic-level enable: <0.4V = shutdown (<1µA IQ), >1.5V = active; internal pull-down ensures default-off on power-up. |
| NC (Pin 7) | No Internal Connection | Unbonded die pad; must be left floating or grounded per layout best practice - no electrical function. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 40V Schottky Diode | Eliminates external diode BOM cost and board space; supports –38V output without transformer or discrete rectifier. |
| One-Resistor Feedback | Uses internal 10µA current source to set VOUT = –10µA × R1 - removes feedback divider error, simplifies design, improves accuracy vs. resistive dividers. |
| 300ns Fixed Off-Time Control | Enables stable operation across wide load range without compensation; permits use of 4.7–10µH inductors and 0.1–4.7µF ceramics for ultra-compact layouts. |
| Output Short-Circuit Protection | Proprietary current limiting prevents damage during output fault; maintains safe switch current even at 16V VIN and sustained short. |
| Low 200mV VCESAT Switch | Reduces conduction loss at 150mA load by >30% vs. typical 300–400mV switches - directly improves efficiency in 10–50mA portable loads. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3483AEDC#TRMPBF | 400mA switch current limit (vs. 200mA), same package and pinout. | Supports higher output current (e.g., –12V @ 35mA) but requires larger inductor and may increase ripple at light loads. | Select when >25mA continuous negative output current is required; verify thermal margin with 2mm × 2mm DFN layout. |
| LT1617ES6#TRMPBF | 350mA switch, TSOT-23-6 package, 20µA IQ, but no integrated Schottky diode. | Requires external diode and larger solution size; limited to –34V max output due to 36V switch rating. | Choose for ultra-low IQ designs where external diode is acceptable and board area is less constrained than in wearables. |
Compared with LT3483EDC#TRMPBF, LT3483AEDC#TRMPBF doubles output current capability at identical footprint and control scheme, while LT1617ES6#TRMPBF trades integration for lower quiescent current and different package - making LT3483EDC#TRMPBF optimal for space-constrained, transformerless –38V bias where 200mA suffices.

FAQ
What is the maximum negative output voltage achievable with the LT3483EDC#TRMPBF?
The LT3483EDC#TRMPBF supports regulated negative outputs up to –38V, enabled by its 40V-rated internal power switch and integrated Schottky diode. This is achieved in inverting charge pump configuration with appropriate external components - no transformer required. Output voltage is set by a single feedback resistor (R1 = –VOUT / 10µA), and stability is maintained across the full –38V range per datasheet characterization.
Does the LT3483EDC#TRMPBF require an external Schottky diode?
No, the LT3483EDC#TRMPBF integrates a 40V-rated Schottky diode at the D pin, eliminating the need for an external diode in standard inverting charge pump or flyback configurations. This reduces BOM count, PCB area, and assembly cost. The internal diode supports 350mA forward current and –40V reverse blocking, matching the device's –38V output capability.
What is the thermal performance of the LT3483EDC#TRMPBF in its DFN package?
The LT3483EDC#TRMPBF in the 8-lead 2mm × 2mm DFN package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 88.5°C/W when mounted on a standard 4-layer PCB with the exposed pad soldered to a solid ground plane and thermal vias. Full 125°C junction temperature operation requires proper thermal pad layout - the exposed pad (Pin 9) must be connected to GND with ≥4 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter) to inner ground layers.
Can the LT3483EDC#TRMPBF operate from a 2.5V input supply?
Yes, the LT3483EDC#TRMPBF operates across a 2.5V to 16V input range, verified over temperature. At 2.5V VIN, it delivers regulated negative outputs (e.g., –5V, –8V) with >65% efficiency at 10mA load, leveraging its low 200mV VCESAT switch and 40µA quiescent current. Undervoltage lockout activates below 2.0–2.4V to prevent erratic startup.
How does the LT3483EDC#TRMPBF achieve stable regulation with only one feedback resistor?
The LT3483EDC#TRMPBF achieves stable regulation using an internal precision 10µA current source that sinks from the FB pin. Output voltage is set by R1 = –VOUT / 10µA, eliminating resistor-divider ratio errors and loading effects. The FB comparator features 10mV hysteresis and operates with 0–12mV trip voltage, enabling robust hysteretic control without external compensation components.
