Product details
Overview
LT3975HMSE#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 42V, 2.5A monolithic step-down switching regulator with current-mode control, 2.7µA no-load quiescent current, and adjustable 200kHz–2MHz switching frequency. It features low-ripple Burst Mode® operation (<15mVP-P), 500mV dropout voltage, and integrated 75mΩ NPN switch for automotive cold-crank and industrial power supply applications.
For engineers reviewing the LT3975HMSE#TRPBF datasheet, LT3975HMSE#TRPBF pinout, LT3975HMSE#TRPBF application, or LT3975HMSE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include ultralow IQ performance at light loads, thermal-grade H-temperature range (–40°C to 150°C), programmable UVLO via EN pin, soft-start control via SS pin, and power-good flag signaling at 91.6% of regulated output.
Technical Context
The LT3975HMSE#TRPBF uses an internally compensated current-mode topology with fixed-frequency PWM and automatic transition to low-ripple Burst Mode® under light loads. Its bipolar NPN power switch is driven by a boost capacitor network enabling full saturation down to 500mV dropout.
It integrates a 1.197V reference error amplifier, active VC clamp for current limiting, frequency foldback during startup/overload, and thermal shutdown protection. The exposed-pad 16-lead MSOP package provides θJA = 40°C/W and supports continuous operation up to 150°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.3V to 42V - supports automotive battery transients including cold-crank (down to ~4.3V) and load-dump immunity. |
| Max Output Current | 2.5A - sustained DC load capability with foldback current limiting during short-circuit conditions. |
| No-Load Quiescent Current | 2.7µA at 12VIN/3.3VOUT - enables >10-year battery life in always-on IoT and telematics systems. |
| Switching Frequency Range | 200kHz to 2MHz - adjustable via RT resistor; enables optimization of inductor size vs. efficiency vs. EMI. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 1.197V ±1.2% - high-accuracy regulation with <0.01%/V line regulation for stable output across input range. |
| Dropout Voltage | 500mV - enforced minimum (VIN – VOUT) ensures boost capacitor remains charged and switch stays saturated during dropout. |
| Power Good Threshold | 91.6% of VOUT - open-drain PG flag signals valid regulation; valid when VIN > 2V. |
| Junction Temperature Range | –40°C to +150°C - H-grade qualification enables use in under-hood automotive and high-ambient industrial environments. |
Pinout & Package
LT3975HMSE#TRPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 16-lead plastic MSOP package with exposed pad (Pin 17 = GND), θJA = 40°C/W. The exposed pad must be soldered to PCB for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FB (1) | Feedback input | Regulates output by sensing divider voltage; internal 1.197V reference sets accuracy and line/load regulation. |
| SS (2) | Soft-start control | Internal 1.8µA current source ramps peak switch current limit; capacitor here controls inrush and prevents overshoot. |
| OUT (3) | Output sense / bias source | Connects to output node; supplies internal bias when VOUT > 3.2V; enables dropout comparator (500mV threshold). |
| BOOST (4) | Boost capacitor drive | Provides >VIN voltage to saturate internal NPN switch; requires external capacitor between BOOST and SW. |
| SW (5,6,7) | Switch node | Drives external inductor and catch diode; ties to BOOST capacitor; carries full switching current and high dv/dt. |
| NC (8,9) | No connect | Not bonded internally; must remain unconnected per datasheet to avoid parasitic coupling or latch-up. |
| VIN (10,11,12) | Main power input | Supplies internal circuitry and switch driver; requires local ceramic bypassing (≥1µF) near pins. |
| EN (13) | Enable / UVLO input | Hysteretic threshold (1.02V fall / 1.08V rise); enables programmable undervoltage lockout and shutdown (IQ = 700nA). |
| RT (14) | Frequency programming | Resistor to GND sets switching frequency from 200kHz to 2MHz; tolerance directly impacts fSW accuracy. |
| PG (15) | Power good flag | Open-drain output asserts high when FB reaches 91.6% of target; sinks ≥125µA at 0.4V; valid above VIN = 2V. |
| SYNC (16) | External clock sync | Accepts 250kHz–2MHz external clock; grounding enables Burst Mode®, floating prohibited. |
| GND (17) | Ground / thermal pad | Exposed pad is internal GND; must be soldered to large PCB copper area for thermal dissipation and noise reduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultralow quiescent current | 2.7µA at no load enables multi-year operation on coin-cell or supercapacitor backup in safety-critical monitoring systems. |
| Low-ripple Burst Mode® | Maintains <15mVP-P output ripple while delivering single current pulses and sleeping between them - critical for noise-sensitive analog/RF circuits. |
| Thermal-grade H-package | Rated for –40°C to +150°C junction operation with derated current above 125°C - qualified for engine-control, ADAS, and industrial motor drives. |
| Integrated boost diode & switch | On-die Schottky boost diode and 75mΩ NPN switch eliminate external components and reduce board space versus discrete solutions. |
| Programmable UVLO and soft-start | EN pin threshold (1.02V/1.08V) and SS pin ramp allow precise system-level power sequencing and inrush control without extra ICs. |
| Current limit foldback | Reduces switch current limit during overload to limit power dissipation - protects device and PCB during sustained short-circuit events. |

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for LT3975HMSE#TRPBF?
The LT3975HMSE#TRPBF is specified for continuous operation from –40°C to +150°C junction temperature. This H-grade qualification exceeds standard E- and I-grade versions (125°C max), making LT3975HMSE#TRPBF suitable for under-hood automotive, motor drive, and high-ambient industrial applications where thermal derating must be minimized.
How does LT3975HMSE#TRPBF achieve 2.7µA quiescent current?
The LT3975HMSE#TRPBF achieves 2.7µA no-load IQ through low-ripple Burst Mode® operation: it delivers discrete current pulses to the output capacitor and then enters deep sleep, powering down all non-essential circuitry. During sleep, only the bandgap reference and wake-up comparators remain active - a design confirmed in the datasheet's Typical Performance Characteristics (Figure G05).
Can LT3975HMSE#TRPBF operate below 4.3V input?
No - the LT3975HMSE#TRPBF has a minimum input voltage of 4.3V under normal regulation. Below this, the internal UVLO circuit disables switching. However, during automotive cold-crank events where VIN dips transiently below 4.3V, the part maintains regulation down to ~4.3V via its 500mV dropout mode, provided the OUT pin is connected to the output and sufficient boost voltage is maintained.
What is the purpose of the OUT pin on LT3975HMSE#TRPBF?
The OUT pin on LT3975HMSE#TRPBF serves three functions: (1) it connects to the output node to enable the dropout comparator (500mV threshold), (2) it supplies bias current to the internal regulator when VOUT > 3.2V - improving efficiency, and (3) it connects to the anode of the internal boost Schottky diode. Leaving OUT unconnected disables dropout protection and degrades light-load efficiency.
Is LT3975HMSE#TRPBF pin-compatible with other LT3975 variants?
Yes - LT3975HMSE#TRPBF shares identical pinout, footprint, and electrical characteristics with LT3975EMSE#TRPBF and LT3975IMSE#TRPBF. The only difference is the guaranteed junction temperature range: H-grade (–40°C to 150°C) versus E/I-grade (–40°C to 125°C). No PCB or schematic changes are required when upgrading to LT3975HMSE#TRPBF for higher thermal reliability.
