Product details
Overview
LT3571EUD#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 75V current-mode step-up DC/DC converter optimized for avalanche photodiode (APD) biasing in optical receivers. It integrates a 75V/370mA power switch, Schottky diode, and high-side APD current monitor with ±10% accuracy across 250nA–2.5mA, enabling constant-current or constant-voltage regulation up to 70V output. Its 3mm × 3mm QFN package supports compact fiber-optic module designs.
For engineers reviewing the LT3571EUD#TRPBF datasheet, LT3571EUD#TRPBF pinout, LT3571EUD#TRPBF application, or LT3571EUD#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include APD current monitoring accuracy, programmable switching frequency (250kHz–2MHz), integrated protection features (programmable current limit, internal soft-start), and compatibility with low-noise biasing requirements in optical receiver front-ends.
Technical Context
The LT3571EUD#TRPBF employs a constant-frequency current-mode control architecture with dual feedback loops: a voltage loop regulating FB to 1V (or externally set via CTRL) and a current loop using MONIN–APD sensing to enforce fixed 5V voltage drop across the APD. The two loops operate competitively-whichever demands lower peak switch current determines operating mode.
Its integrated high-side current monitor delivers 20% mirrored output current at MON pin with better than 10% relative accuracy over four decades of dynamic range and –40°C to 125°C. The device supports synchronization (SYNC pin), adjustable frequency (RT resistor), and digitally programmable output voltage without polarity inversion via the CTRL pin.

Pinout & Package
The LT3571EUD#TRPBF is housed in a 16-lead 3mm × 3mm plastic QFN (UD package) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 17) that must be soldered to PCB ground for thermal and electrical performance. Pin 1 is marked by notch or chamfer; top-side marking is "LDTN".
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| APD (Pin 2) | APD cathode connection | Direct interface to photodiode cathode; enables high-side current sensing with fixed 5V monitor drop. |
| MONIN (Pin 3) | Current sense amplifier inverting input | Serves as both supply rail for monitor circuit and sense node; accepts up to 75V and sets current limit via RSENSE. |
| VOUT (Pin 4) | Boost converter output | Delivers regulated high-voltage bias; connects to APD anode and output capacitor; also non-inverting input of current sense amp. |
| SW (Pins 5,6) | Power switch drain | High-frequency switching node; requires minimal trace length to reduce EMI and voltage spikes. |
| GND (Pins 7,10) | Power and signal ground | Dual ground pins reduce impedance; both must connect to low-impedance PCB ground plane. |
| SYNC (Pin 8) | External clock input | Enables deterministic switching alignment; RT must be set for 20% lower free-running frequency. |
| RT (Pin 9) | Oscillator timing resistor | Resistor-to-ground sets switching frequency; open-circuit or capacitive loading causes malfunction. |
| VIN (Pin 11) | Main input supply | Accepts 2.7V–20V; requires local 1μF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| SHDN (Pin 12) | Enable/disable & soft-start control | Logic-high (>1.5V) enables operation; RC filter on this pin controls startup slew rate. |
| VREF (Pin 13) | 1.222V precision reference output | Supplies up to 100μA; used for external biasing or CTRL voltage generation; requires ≥10nF bypass. |
| CTRL (Pin 14) | Feedback reference override | Externally sets FB threshold from 0V to 1V; allows real-time APD voltage adjustment without polarity inversion. |
| FB (Pin 15) | Voltage feedback input | Compares against CTRL or internal 1V reference; connects to resistor divider from VOUT for output regulation. |
| MON (Pin 16) | Current monitor output | Sources 20% of APD current; clamped to 11.5V for open-circuit protection; used for closed-loop gain control. |
| NC (Pin 1) | No connect | Not internally bonded; must remain unconnected. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar APD bias converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3482EUD#TRPBF | Lower max output (48V/90V dual-output), no integrated Schottky, ±15% current monitor accuracy, 650kHz/1.1MHz fixed frequencies. | Targeted at dual-rail APD/PIN bias; lacks single-rail flexibility and tighter current sensing needed for high-gain optical receivers. | Select LT3571EUD#TRPBF when 70V single-output, ±10% current accuracy, and integrated diode are required for compact, high-performance APD bias. |
| LT3461AEFE#TRPBF | 38V max output, 0.3A switch, no APD current monitor, SC70-6 package, higher quiescent current (2.8mA). | Suitable only for low-voltage PIN diode bias; cannot support APD biasing above ~40V or provide closed-loop current feedback. | Choose LT3571EUD#TRPBF for applications demanding >40V APD bias, integrated monitoring, and QFN thermal performance. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage supported by the LT3571EUD#TRPBF?
The LT3571EUD#TRPBF supports a maximum output voltage of 70V, as specified in its features and typical applications. This rating enables reliable biasing of avalanche photodiodes used in long-reach optical receivers. Absolute maximum ratings allow up to 75V at VOUT and APD pins, but sustained operation above 70V is not guaranteed per datasheet specifications. Designers should maintain margin below 70V for stable regulation and lifetime reliability.
How does the LT3571EUD#TRPBF achieve APD current monitoring accuracy?
The LT3571EUD#TRPBF achieves better than ±10% relative accuracy in APD current monitoring over –40°C to 125°C by integrating a high-side current sense amplifier with a fixed 5V voltage drop between MONIN and APD pins. Its design uses a precision current mirror with 5:1 ratio and internal clamping (11.5V at MON), validated across four decades of dynamic range (250nA to 2.5mA). No external calibration is required-the accuracy is inherent to the monolithic implementation.
Can the LT3571EUD#TRPBF operate in both constant-current and constant-voltage modes?
Yes, the LT3571EUD#TRPBF combines a traditional voltage feedback loop (via FB pin) and a dedicated current feedback loop (via MONIN–APD sensing) to operate seamlessly in either constant-current or constant-voltage mode. Whichever loop demands the lower peak switch current takes precedence-enabling automatic transition during load transients. This dual-loop architecture is explicitly designed for APD biasing, where stable current control is essential during low-light conditions and voltage control dominates at saturation.
What is the role of the CTRL pin in the LT3571EUD#TRPBF?
The CTRL pin in the LT3571EUD#TRPBF allows external adjustment of the FB reference voltage between 0V and 1V, enabling real-time programming of the output voltage without polarity inversion. When CTRL is held above 1.2V (e.g., tied to VREF), the internal 1V reference is used. When CTRL is between 0V and 1V, the FB pin regulates to match that voltage-supporting temperature compensation networks or DAC-based calibration. This feature is central to the LT3571EUD#TRPBF's use in adaptive optical receiver designs.
Is the LT3571EUD#TRPBF pin-compatible with other Linear Technology QFN converters?
No, the LT3571EUD#TRPBF has a unique 16-pin QFN pinout optimized for APD biasing-including dedicated APD, MONIN, and MON pins-not shared with general-purpose boost converters like LT3461A or LT3482. Its pin functions (e.g., APD cathode interface, high-side monitor inputs) are application-specific. Substituting with other QFN parts requires full schematic and layout revision due to incompatible pin mapping, functionality, and internal architecture.
