Product details
Overview
LT3487EDD#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual-channel, 2MHz constant-frequency switching regulator optimized for CCD, TFT LCD, and OLED bias generation. It delivers +15V at 45mA and –8V at 90mA from a single Li-ion cell (2.3V–16V input), features internal Schottky diodes, output disconnect, and intelligent sequencing where the positive channel reaches regulation before negative channel startup.
For engineers reviewing the LT3487EDD#PBF datasheet, LT3487EDD#PBF pinout, LT3487EDD#PBF application, or LT3487EDD#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual boost/inverting topology, 10-lead DFN package with exposed pad, capacitor-programmable soft-start, separate VBAT pin for independent power/control sourcing, and ±rail generation capability for op-amp supplies.
Technical Context
The LT3487EDD#PBF employs current-mode control with two independent PWM channels: a boost converter (SWP/FBP/VPOS) and an inverting converter (SWN/FBN/VNEG). Its 2MHz fixed-frequency operation enables compact magnetics and low-noise outputs suitable for imaging sensor biasing.
Internal sequencing ensures the positive output reaches ≥87% of final value before enabling the negative channel, preventing negative sum voltages. Output disconnect uses a PNP pass transistor with anti-saturation drive referenced to VBAT, maintaining isolation until CAP falls ≤1.2V above VBAT.

Pinout & Package
LT3487EDD#PBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 10-lead (3mm × 3mm) plastic DFN package with exposed pad (Pin 11 = GND), requiring PCB thermal vias for optimal junction temperature management (θJA = 43°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CAP (1) | Boost intermediate node / Disconnect-PNP emitter | Intermediate positive voltage node; connects to boost output capacitor and drives disconnect PNP base. |
| SWP (2) | Positive channel switch / Schottky anode | Drives boost inductor; integrates Schottky anode to eliminate external diode in standard configurations. |
| VBAT (3) | Battery supply for inductors / Disconnect return path | Provides power to boost/inverter inductors and returns disconnect drive current; enables independent sourcing from VIN. |
| SWN (4) | Negative channel switch | Drives inverter input inductor and flying capacitor; operates synchronously with SWP but controlled by separate feedback loop. |
| DN (5) | Inverter Schottky anode | Anode of internal Schottky used in inverting topology; connects to flying capacitor and output inductor. |
| VIN (6) | Control circuitry supply | Powers internal logic, oscillators, and error amplifiers; must be locally bypassed with X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor. |
| FBN (7) | Negative channel feedback input | Ground-referenced input; regulates VNEG by sinking 25µA when output is at target (0V). |
| RUN/SS (8) | Enable & soft-start control | 1.4µA current source charges external capacitor; 160mV threshold initiates startup; 100mV shutdown threshold. |
| FBP (9) | Positive channel feedback input | 1.23V reference input; sinks 25µA when VPOS/CAP is regulated; enables single-resistor output programming. |
| VPOS (10) | Positive output / Disconnect collector | Final regulated +VOUT; collector of internal PNP disconnect transistor; requires C5 capacitor to CAP for stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Schottky diodes | Eliminates 4 external diodes (2 per channel), reducing BOM count and board area in CCD bias supplies. |
| Output disconnect | PNP-based isolation prevents DC path from input to load during shutdown, critical for system-level power sequencing. |
| Capacitor-programmable soft-start | Single capacitor on RUN/SS pin controls ramp rate for both channels, ensuring monotonic startup without output overshoot. |
| Sequenced dual-channel startup | Hardware-enforced delay ensures VPOS reaches ≥87% regulation before VNEG begins switching, guaranteeing VPOS + VNEG > 0 at all times. |
| Separate VBAT pin | Allows inductors to be powered from high-efficiency rail (e.g., automotive 12V) while control circuitry runs from low-noise 3.3V, improving PSRR and thermal performance. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output boost/inverting regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3463EDD#PBF | Lower output current (±250mA), 2.2V–16V input, integrated Schottkys, same 10-lead DFN package. | Targeted at lower-power CCDs and smaller displays; lacks VBAT pin and output disconnect. | Select when bias current ≤250mA suffices and VBAT separation is unnecessary. |
| LT3471EFE#PBF | Higher current (±1.3A), 1.2MHz switching, 20-lead TSSOP package, no VBAT pin or output disconnect. | Suitable for high-current industrial imaging or multi-sensor arrays; larger footprint and higher quiescent current (2.5mA). | Select when >90mA negative or >45mA positive output is required and board space allows TSSOP. |
Compared with LT3463EDD#PBF, LT3487EDD#PBF adds output disconnect and VBAT separation for robust system-level power management; compared with LT3471EFE#PBF, it trades peak current for smaller size, lower IQ, and advanced sequencing-making it optimal for portable CCD and display bias where reliability and compactness are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage achievable with LT3487EDD#PBF?
The LT3487EDD#PBF supports output voltages up to +28V on the positive channel and –32V on the negative channel, as defined by absolute maximum ratings. In practical bias applications, it is typically configured for +15V at 45mA and –8V at 90mA from a Li-ion input, leveraging its 2MHz switching frequency and internal Schottky diodes for efficiency and compactness. The actual achievable voltage depends on external resistor selection, inductor saturation current, and thermal management.
Does LT3487EDD#PBF require external diodes for basic operation?
No, the LT3487EDD#PBF integrates Schottky diodes for both the boost (DP) and inverting (DN) channels, eliminating the need for external diodes in standard configurations. This reduces component count and board area. However, for high-current inverter applications (>90mA), an external Schottky diode (e.g., PMEG2010AEB) in parallel with DN can improve efficiency by lowering forward voltage drop, provided its capacitance is minimized to avoid 2MHz switching losses.
How does the VBAT pin function in LT3487EDD#PBF, and why is it important?
The VBAT pin in LT3487EDD#PBF supplies current to the boost and inverter inductors independently from the VIN pin (which powers control circuitry). It also serves as the reference for the output disconnect PNP, which remains active until CAP falls ≤1.2V above VBAT. This enables flexible power architecture-e.g., powering inductors from a high-efficiency 12V buck rail while running control logic from a clean 3.3V LDO-improving overall system efficiency and thermal distribution.
What is the purpose of the sequencing feature in LT3487EDD#PBF?
The sequencing feature in LT3487EDD#PBF ensures the positive output (VPOS) reaches at least 87% of its final regulated value before the negative channel begins switching. This hardware-enforced delay guarantees that VPOS + VNEG remains positive throughout startup, preventing latch-up or damage in CCD and op-amp applications where negative sum voltages could disrupt sensor operation or amplifier biasing. Sequencing is automatic and requires no external components.
Can LT3487EDD#PBF operate from a 2.7V input, and what are the implications?
Yes, LT3487EDD#PBF supports input voltages as low as 2.3V, making it fully operational from a 2.7V supply (e.g., two alkaline cells). At low VIN, output current capability decreases due to reduced duty cycle margin and higher switch current stress; typical performance shows +15V/40mA and –8V/80mA at 2.7V–5V input (per Typical Application TA03). Efficiency remains >70% across load range, but thermal design must account for higher conduction losses in the internal switches and PNP disconnect transistor.
