Product details
Overview
LT3980EDE#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic 58V input, 2A synchronous step-down switching regulator with current-mode control, 85µA quiescent current in Burst Mode®, and adjustable 100kHz–2.4MHz switching frequency. It integrates a 200mΩ NPN switch, boost Schottky diode driver, and catch-diode current sense (DA pin) for transient protection-used in automotive battery regulation, industrial distributed supplies, and wide-input wall transformer designs.
For engineers reviewing the LT3980EDE#TRPBF datasheet, LT3980EDE#TRPBF pinout, LT3980EDE#TRPBF application, or LT3980EDE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 58V max input/80V transient rating, thermal shutdown, power good flag, soft-start via RUN/SS, and compatibility with 3mm × 4mm DFN-14 package layouts requiring minimal external components.
Technical Context
The LT3980EDE#TRPBF employs constant-frequency current-mode PWM control with oscillator frequency set by an external RT resistor (100kHz–2.4MHz), enabling fast transient response and stable loop behavior across wide input ranges. Its internal error amplifier drives the VC pin to regulate peak switch current, while active clamp and RUN/SS voltage ramping implement precise soft-start and current limiting.
It features dual protection architecture: overvoltage lockout triggers at 58V (min), disabling switching up to 80V transients; DA pin monitors catch diode current to pause oscillation during short-circuit or input overvoltage events. Bias current sourcing from VOUT (>3V) reduces no-load IQ to 85µA, and low-ripple Burst Mode® maintains output ripple <15mVP-P at light loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.6V to 58V continuous; withstands 80V non-repetitive transients-enables direct connection to 48V industrial rails or automotive batteries. |
| Max Output Current | 2A DC load capability-supports mid-power point-of-load conversion without external MOSFETs. |
| Quiescent Current | 85µA at 12VIN → 3.3VOUT in Burst Mode®-extends battery life in always-on systems. |
| Switching Frequency | Adjustable 100kHz–2.4MHz via RT resistor-allows trade-off between inductor size (high-freq) and efficiency/dropout (low-freq). |
| Feedback Voltage | 790mV ±10mV (typ.)-sets precise output regulation with standard resistor divider networks. |
| Power Good Threshold | 91% of programmed VOUT with 14mV hysteresis-provides reliable system power sequencing signal. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at TJ ≥165°C-protects against sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking. |
| Package | 3mm × 4mm, 14-pin DFN with exposed pad-offers θJA = 45°C/W for high-power density thermal management. |
Pinout & Package
LT3980EDE#TRPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 14-pin (3mm × 4mm) plastic DFN package with exposed GND pad (Pin 15) requiring PCB soldering for optimal thermal performance. Pin count and layout match the DE14 footprint defined in Linear Technology's packaging specification.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DA (Pin 14) | Catch diode current sense input | Pauses oscillator during overcurrent to limit inductor current-critical for input transient and short-circuit robustness. |
| VIN (Pin 12) | Main power input | Supplies internal regulator and switch; rated to 80V absolute max-must be locally bypassed with ≥10µF ceramic capacitor. |
| SW (Pin 11) | Switch node | Connects to inductor, catch diode cathode, and boost capacitor-carries high di/dt switching current; requires tight layout. |
| BOOST (Pin 10) | Boost drive output | Provides >VIN voltage to saturate internal NPN switch; requires external Schottky diode + capacitor (e.g., 10nF). |
| BD (Pin 9) | Boost diode anode supply | Sources bias current for internal regulator; can draw from VOUT (>3V) to reduce IQ in light-load operation. |
| RUN/SS (Pin 8) | Enable & soft-start control | Pull ≥2.5V to enable; tie RC network for controlled VOUT ramp-prevents inrush and enables sequencing. |
| RT (Pin 6) | Oscillator frequency set | Resistor-to-GND sets fSW; e.g., 32.4kΩ yields 1MHz-determines minimum on/off time constraints and VIN/VOUT ratio limits. |
| FB (Pin 4) | Feedback input | Regulated to 790mV; connects to resistor divider tap-defines output voltage accuracy and loop stability point. |
| PG (Pin 3) | Power good open-collector output | Active-low flag signaling VOUT ≥91% of target-requires external pull-up for microcontroller reset or status monitoring. |
| GND (Pins 7,15) | Ground reference & thermal path | Exposed pad (Pin 15) must be soldered to large copper area-primary thermal conduction path to PCB. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-ripple Burst Mode® operation | Maintains <15mVP-P output ripple at light loads while achieving 85µA IQ-eliminates need for external LDO post-regulation in battery-powered systems. |
| Catch diode current sensing (DA pin) | Real-time monitoring of diode conduction enables immediate oscillator pause during overcurrent-prevents thermal runaway without external sense resistors. |
| Output bias current sourcing | Draws operating current from VOUT when >3V, reducing VIN supply current at light loads-improves system-level efficiency in always-on applications. |
| Programmable soft-start | Controlled VOUT ramp via RC network on RUN/SS-ensures monotonic startup and prevents output overshoot in multi-rail systems. |
| Overvoltage lockout (OVL) | Disables switching at VIN ≥58V (min), sustaining up to 80V transients-protects downstream circuitry in 48V automotive or industrial environments. |
| Power good flag with hysteresis | Open-drain PG asserts when FB reaches 91% of target with 14mV hysteresis-provides clean, noise-immune sequencing signal for FPGAs or processors. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LT3980EDE#TRPBF?
The LT3980EDE#TRPBF has a continuous maximum input voltage of 58V and can withstand non-repetitive 80V transients for up to one minute. Operation above 58V (minimum specification) disables switching to protect internal circuitry, making it suitable for 48V automotive and industrial systems experiencing load dump or cold-crank events.
How does the DA pin function in LT3980EDE#TRPBF?
The DA pin on the LT3980EDE#TRPBF senses catch diode current and pauses the oscillator during overcurrent conditions-such as input transients or output shorts-to prevent inductor saturation and thermal damage. This feature eliminates the need for external current-sense resistors or protection ICs in robust power designs.
Can LT3980EDE#TRPBF operate efficiently at very light loads?
Yes, the LT3980EDE#TRPBF uses low-ripple Burst Mode® operation to maintain 85µA quiescent current at 12VIN → 3.3VOUT, keeping output ripple below 15mVP-P. It further reduces input current by drawing bias from VOUT when above 3V-ideal for battery-backed or always-on IoT nodes.
What package type and thermal characteristics does LT3980EDE#TRPBF use?
The LT3980EDE#TRPBF is supplied in a 3mm × 4mm, 14-pin plastic DFN package (DE14) with exposed GND pad (Pin 15). Its thermal resistance is θJA = 45°C/W and θJC = 10°C/W-requiring the exposed pad to be soldered to a large PCB copper area for effective heat dissipation at 2A continuous load.
Does LT3980EDE#TRPBF support synchronization to an external clock?
Yes, the LT3980EDE#TRPBF supports external clock synchronization via the SYNC pin (Pin 1), accepting clock signals from 250kHz to 2MHz with rise/fall times faster than 1µs. This enables EMI reduction through frequency dithering or alignment with system clocks in multi-rail power architectures.
