Product details
Overview
LT3980HMSE#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-voltage, current-mode synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator IC with 58V max input, 2A output, 2.4MHz adjustable switching frequency, 85µA quiescent current in Burst Mode, and –40°C to 150°C operating junction temperature. It integrates a 200mΩ NPN switch, boost Schottky diode driver, and catch-diode current sense (DA pin) for transient overcurrent protection-used in automotive battery regulation and industrial wide-input power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LT3980HMSE#TRPBF datasheet, LT3980HMSE#TRPBF pinout, LT3980HMSE#TRPBF application, or LT3980HMSE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 58V input rating with 80V transient tolerance, thermal-grade H-temp MSOP package, low-ripple Burst Mode operation (<15mVP-P), power-good flag, and synchronization capability from 250kHz to 2MHz.
Technical Context
The LT3980HMSE#TRPBF employs fixed-frequency current-mode control with external RT-resistor programmability (100kHz–2.4MHz), enabling precise loop stability and fast transient response. Its internal bipolar NPN switch is driven via BOOST pin with external Schottky diode, requiring minimum on-time (~200ns) and off-time (~230ns) constraints that govern practical VIN/VOUT ratios and frequency trade-offs.
Catch diode current sensing at the DA pin pauses oscillation during overcurrent or input transients, while VC pin error amplifier output directly controls peak switch current. Bias current sourcing from VOUT (>3V) reduces quiescent consumption, and RUN/SS pin enables soft-start and <1µA shutdown current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.6V to 58V continuous; withstands 80V non-repetitive transients-supports 24V/48V industrial and 12V automotive battery inputs with headroom. |
| Output Current | 2A maximum continuous-sustains full load across –40°C to 150°C junction range without derating. |
| Switching Frequency | Adjustable 100kHz to 2.4MHz via RT resistor-enables compact magnetics at high fSW, or higher efficiency/lower dropout at low fSW. |
| Quiescent Current | 85µA at 12VIN → 3.3VOUT in Burst Mode-maintains ultra-low standby power without sacrificing <15mVP-P output ripple. |
| Feedback Voltage | 790mV ±10mV (typical)-sets output voltage accuracy; enables precise 3.3V, 5V, or adjustable rails using standard 1% resistors. |
| Power Good Threshold | 91% of regulated VOUT with 14mV hysteresis-provides reliable system power sequencing and fault detection. |
| Thermal Rating | Junction temperature range –40°C to +150°C-qualified for under-hood automotive and high-ambient industrial environments. |
Pinout & Package
LT3980HMSE#TRPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 16-lead plastic MSOP package (MSE) with exposed pad (Pin 17 = GND) for low θJA = 45°C/W. Pin count, layout, and thermal pad soldering are identical to LT3980EMSE/IMSE variants but rated for extended junction temperature.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SYNC) | External clock input | Synchronizes switching to external source (250kHz–2MHz); tie to GND for Burst Mode or >0.8V for pulse-skipping. |
| 2 (PG) | Open-collector power-good flag | Sinks current when VOUT reaches 91% of target-valid only if VIN > 3.6V and RUN/SS high. |
| 4 (FB) | Feedback input | Regulated to 790mV; connects to resistor divider tap-determines output voltage with ±1% typical accuracy. |
| 6 (VC) | Error amplifier output | Controls peak switch current; RC compensation network here stabilizes control loop bandwidth and phase margin. |
| 7 (RT) | Oscillator frequency set | Resistor to GND programs fSW (100kHz–2.4MHz); e.g., 32.4kΩ yields ~1.07MHz per datasheet Figure 1. |
| 8 (RUN/SS) | Enable & soft-start control | Tie ≥2.5V to enable; RC ramp here provides controlled VOUT rise time-reduces inrush and EMI. |
| 9 (BD) | Boost diode anode connection | Supplies bias current to internal regulator; connects to Schottky diode anode-enables efficient switch saturation. |
| 10 (BOOST) | Switch drive voltage supply | Provides >VIN voltage to NPN base-requires external capacitor/diode to generate ~VIN + 3V for full switch saturation. |
| 11 (SW) | Switch node | Connects to inductor, catch diode cathode, and boost capacitor-carries high di/dt pulsed current; requires tight layout. |
| 12 (VIN) | Main power input | Supplies internal regulator and switch; must be locally bypassed with ≥10µF X7R ceramic-handles up to 58V continuous. |
| 14 (DA) | Catch diode current sense | Monitors diode conduction; pauses oscillator during overcurrent or input transients-protects inductor and switch. |
| 15 (GND) | Signal ground | Reference for FB, VC, RT, PG; connects to exposed pad-must be solidly soldered to PCB plane for thermal and noise performance. |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LT3980HMSE#TRPBF, and how does it handle transients?
The LT3980HMSE#TRPBF has a continuous maximum input voltage of 58V and is rated to withstand non-repetitive 80V transients for up to one minute. Internal overvoltage lockout disables switching above ~61.5V (typical) to protect downstream circuitry, while the DA pin actively monitors catch diode current to pause the oscillator during overcurrent events caused by transients-ensuring safe operation without external protection components.
Does LT3980HMSE#TRPBF require an external Schottky diode, and what is its role?
Yes, LT3980HMSE#TRPBF requires an external Schottky diode connected between BD (anode) and SW (cathode). This diode charges the BOOST capacitor, generating a voltage higher than VIN to fully saturate the internal bipolar NPN switch-reducing conduction losses and enabling high efficiency across the full 3.6V–58V input range. The datasheet specifies Diodes Inc. SBR3U100LP as a validated option.
How does the DA pin function in LT3980HMSE#TRPBF, and why is it critical for reliability?
The DA pin in LT3980HMSE#TRPBF senses current flowing through the external catch diode. When diode current exceeds ~2.4A, the oscillator is paused-preventing inductor saturation and switch overstress during input transients or short-circuit conditions. This real-time protection is critical for reliability in automotive and industrial applications where uncontrolled overcurrent could cause thermal failure or system shutdown.
What is the significance of the "H" grade in LT3980HMSE#TRPBF, and how does it differ from E/I grades?
"H" grade indicates that LT3980HMSE#TRPBF is specified and tested for operation from –40°C to +150°C junction temperature-unlike E (0°C to 125°C) or I (–40°C to 125°C) grades. This extended rating is achieved through process and test validation, enabling use in under-hood automotive, high-ambient industrial, and sealed enclosure applications where thermal derating would otherwise limit output current.
Can LT3980HMSE#TRPBF synchronize to an external clock, and what is its synchronization range?
Yes, LT3980HMSE#TRPBF supports external clock synchronization via the SYNC pin (Pin 1). It accepts TTL/CMOS-compatible clock signals from 250kHz to 2MHz-allowing system-level EMI reduction through frequency alignment. Clock edges must have rise/fall times faster than 1µs. If unused, SYNC must be tied to GND to enable low-ripple Burst Mode operation.
