Product details
Overview
LT3693EMSE#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic current-mode step-down switching regulator supporting 3.6V–36V input, delivering up to 3.5A output with adjustable switching frequency from 200kHz to 2.4MHz. It integrates a 95mΩ NPN power switch, on-chip boost Schottky diode, soft-start, power-good flag, and thermal protection-designed for automotive battery regulation and industrial distributed supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LT3693EMSE#TRPBF datasheet, LT3693EMSE#TRPBF pinout, LT3693EMSE#TRPBF application, or LT3693EMSE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 0.790V feedback reference, synchronizable operation (250kHz–2MHz), 1μA shutdown current, exposed-pad MSOP-10 thermal performance, and integrated bias regulation via BD pin.
Technical Context
The LT3693EMSE#TRPBF employs constant-frequency current-mode control with an internal oscillator set by an external RT resistor. Its error amplifier drives the VC pin to regulate peak switch current, while slope compensation ensures stability across duty cycles. The BD pin enables external bias sourcing above 3V to improve efficiency.
Power-good signaling occurs when FB reaches 91% of 0.790V (i.e., ~720mV), with open-collector PG output valid only when VIN > 3.6V and RUN/SS is high. Frequency foldback reduces switching frequency during startup or overload to limit inductor current, and minimum on/off times (~150ns each) constrain usable duty cycle range per selected fSW.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.6V to 36V - supports wide-range industrial and automotive battery inputs without pre-regulation |
| Max Output Current | 3.5A - sustained delivery into load with thermal derating per MSOP-10 θJA = 45°C/W |
| Switch RDS(on) | 95mΩ - low conduction loss enabling high efficiency at full load |
| Feedback Reference | 0.790V ±15mV - precise setting point for output voltage programming via resistor divider |
| Shutdown Current | <1μA - enables ultra-low-power system sleep modes |
| Switching Frequency | 200kHz to 2.4MHz - adjustable via RT pin; synchronizable 250kHz–2MHz for EMI reduction |
| Power Good Threshold | 91% of VFB (≈720mV) - provides reliable output regulation monitoring with 65mV hysteresis |
Pinout & Package
LT3693EMSE#TRPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 10-lead plastic MSOP package with exposed pad (Pin 11) soldered to PCB ground for low thermal resistance (θJA = 45°C/W, θJC = 10°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BD (Pin 1) | Boost Diode Anode Supply | Connects to external Schottky anode; also powers internal bias regulator when >3V |
| BOOST (Pin 2) | Bootstrap Drive Voltage | Provides elevated gate drive for internal NPN switch via external capacitor/diode network |
| SW (Pin 3) | Switch Node | Output of internal power switch; connects to inductor, catch diode, and boost capacitor |
| VIN (Pin 4) | Main Input Supply | Primary power source for internal regulator and switch; requires local ceramic bypass |
| RUN/SS (Pin 5) | Enable & Soft-Start Control | Logic-level enable (≥2.5V = on); RC ramp here controls output voltage slew rate |
| SYNC (Pin 6) | External Clock Input | Accepts TTL/CMOS clock edges (rise/fall <1μs) for synchronization; must not float |
| PG (Pin 7) | Power Good Flag | Open-collector output active low until VOUT reaches 91% of target; requires pull-up |
| FB (Pin 8) | Feedback Input | Sense node regulated to 0.790V; connects to resistor divider tap for output voltage setting |
| VC (Pin 9) | Error Amplifier Output | Controls peak switch current; RC network here sets loop compensation |
| RT (Pin 10) | Oscillator Frequency Set | Resistor-to-ground sets switching frequency from 200kHz to 2.4MHz |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3631EMSE#TRPBF | 40V input, 3A output, 3mm × 3mm DFN-16; no integrated boost diode; requires external bootstrap capacitor | Better suited for higher input voltage margin (40V vs. 36V) but needs extra components and layout area | Select when input transients exceed 36V or when DFN thermal performance is preferred over MSOP |
| MP2451DT-LF-Z | 36V input, 2A output, SOIC-8; no PG flag, no SYNC, fixed 550kHz fSW; lower cost, smaller footprint | Limited to ≤2A loads; lacks system-monitoring features (PG) and EMI control (SYNC) | Select for cost-sensitive, lower-current applications where soft-start and power sequencing are non-critical |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LT3693EMSE#TRPBF?
The absolute maximum input voltage (VIN) for LT3693EMSE#TRPBF is 36V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation up to this level is supported continuously when the device is in regulation; during startup or overload, the practical maximum depends on selected switching frequency and minimum on-time constraints. The BOOST pin has a higher 56V absolute maximum rating, but VIN must remain ≤36V.
Does LT3693EMSE#TRPBF require an external Schottky diode?
No, LT3693EMSE#TRPBF integrates a boost Schottky diode on-die, eliminating the need for an external diode in the bootstrap circuit. The BD pin connects directly to the anode of this internal diode, simplifying design and reducing component count-though an external Schottky may still be used on the catch path if higher reverse voltage or thermal performance is required.
How is the output voltage programmed on LT3693EMSE#TRPBF?
The output voltage of LT3693EMSE#TRPBF is set using a resistor divider between VOUT and the FB pin, referenced to the internal 0.790V feedback voltage. For example, to set 5V output: R1 = R2 × ((5V / 0.790V) − 1). Standard 1% resistors are recommended, and the FB pin bias current is only 10–40nA, minimizing divider error.
What thermal considerations apply to LT3693EMSE#TRPBF in MSOP-10 package?
LT3693EMSE#TRPBF in the MSOP-10 package features an exposed pad (Pin 11) that must be soldered to a PCB ground plane to achieve θJA = 45°C/W and θJC = 10°C/W. Without proper pad connection, thermal resistance increases significantly, risking thermal shutdown at ≥3.5A loads. Layout guidelines recommend ≥200mm² copper area under the pad with multiple thermal vias to inner/ground layers.
Can LT3693EMSE#TRPBF synchronize to an external clock?
Yes, LT3693EMSE#TRPBF supports external clock synchronization via the SYNC pin (Pin 6), accepting TTL- or CMOS-compatible signals from 250kHz to 2MHz. Clock edges must have rise/fall times faster than 1μs, and the pin must never be left floating-tie to GND if unused. This capability enables EMI reduction through frequency dithering or alignment with system clocks.
