Product details
Overview
LT3980IDE#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 58V input, 2A monolithic 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 and industrial wide-input DC/DC conversion.
For engineers reviewing the LT3980IDE#TRPBF datasheet, LT3980IDE#TRPBF pinout, LT3980IDE#TRPBF application, or LT3980IDE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 58V max input rating with 80V transient tolerance, thermal shutdown, power good flag, soft-start via RUN/SS pin, and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic output capacitors in space-constrained 3mm × 4mm DFN packages.
Technical Context
The LT3980IDE#TRPBF employs constant-frequency current-mode PWM control with internal error amplifier servoing VC to regulate FB at 790mV ±18mV. Its oscillator supports external RT resistor programming and frequency foldback during startup/overload, while DA pin sensing pauses switching under catch-diode overcurrent to limit inductor current.
It features dual bias paths: draws from VIN by default, but switches to VOUT-derived bias when BD ≥3V-reducing no-load IQ to 85µA at 12VIN→3.3VOUT. The BOOST pin drives an external capacitor-diode network to supply >VIN gate drive, enabling full saturation of the integrated bipolar switch.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.6V to 58V continuous; withstands 80V transients-supports 24V/48V industrial and 12V automotive battery rails with OVP lockout at 58V min. |
| Output Current | 2A maximum continuous-enables single-regulator 5V/3.3V supplies for microcontrollers, sensors, and I/O peripherals. |
| Quiescent Current | 85µA in Burst Mode® at 12VIN→3.3VOUT-extends battery life in always-on systems without sacrificing regulation accuracy. |
| Switching Frequency | Adjustable 100kHz–2.4MHz via RT pin resistor-allows trade-off between small magnetics (high-f) and efficiency/dropout (low-f). |
| Feedback Voltage | 790mV ±18mV over temperature-sets precise output voltage with standard resistor dividers; enables 1.2V–58V programmable outputs. |
| Power Good Threshold | 91% of regulated VOUT with 14mV hysteresis-provides reliable system power sequencing and fault detection. |
| Thermal Protection | Internal junction shutdown at 150°C (H-grade), 125°C (E/I-grade)-ensures safe operation under overload or poor PCB heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
LT3980IDE#TRPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 14-lead (3mm × 4mm) plastic DFN package with exposed pad (Pin 15 = GND). The package delivers θJA = 45°C/W and θJC = 10°C/W, requiring soldered exposed pad for optimal thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DA (14) | Catch diode current sense input | Pauses oscillator during overcurrent events-protects inductor and switch during short-circuit or high-dV/dt transients. |
| VIN (12) | Main input power supply | Accepts 3.6V–58V; powers internal regulator and switch-requires local 10µF ceramic bypass near pin. |
| SW (11) | Switch node | Connects to inductor, catch diode cathode, and boost capacitor-carries high di/dt; layout critical for EMI control. |
| BOOST (10) | Boost capacitor drive | Supplies >VIN gate drive to internal NPN switch-requires external Schottky diode and capacitor (e.g., 10nF). |
| BD (9) | Boost diode anode supply | Provides bias current to internal regulator-connects to anode of external boost Schottky diode. |
| RUN/SS (8) | Enable & soft-start control | Pull ≥2.5V to enable; tie RC network for controlled VOUT ramp-reduces inrush and stabilizes startup. |
| RT (6) | Oscillator frequency set | Resistor to GND programs fSW from 100kHz–2.4MHz-e.g., 32.4kΩ sets 1MHz per datasheet Figure 1. |
| FB (4) | Feedback input | Regulated to 790mV; connects to resistor divider tap-determines output voltage with ±1% typical accuracy. |
| PG (3) | Power good open-collector output | Sinks current when VOUT < 91% of target-requires external pull-up for system monitoring or sequencing. |
| GND (7,15) | Ground reference | Exposes thermal pad (Pin 15); must be soldered to large PCB copper area for thermal and electrical integrity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Burst Mode® operation | Maintains <15mVP-P output ripple at light loads while holding IQ to 85µA-ideal for battery-powered remote sensors. |
| Catch diode current sense (DA) | Enables real-time inductor current limiting independent of switch duty cycle-prevents saturation during input surges or shorts. |
| Output bias from VOUT | Draws regulator bias from output when VOUT >3V via BD pin-eliminates wasted current from VIN at light loads. |
| Overvoltage lockout | Disables switching at VIN >58V (min), sustaining 80V transients-protects downstream circuitry without external TVS. |
| Power good flag with hysteresis | Signals valid regulation at 91% VOUT with 14mV window-avoids chatter during marginal line/load conditions. |

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#PBF | 40V max input, 1.5A output, fixed 2MHz fSW, no DA pin or BOOST driver-requires external bootstrap diode/cap. | Lacks 58V capability and catch-diode current sense; suited for lower-voltage, cost-sensitive designs without transient protection needs. | Select LTC3631EMSE#PBF only if input stays ≤40V and DA-based fault protection is unnecessary. |
| MP2451DT-LF-Z | 36V max input, 0.6A output, 2MHz fixed fSW, no PG flag or soft-start-integrated MOSFET but no BD/BOOST pins. | Lower current and voltage rating; lacks power sequencing support and transient robustness-targeted at consumer USB-powered devices. | Choose MP2451DT-LF-Z for sub-1A, ≤36V applications where PG, soft-start, and 80V surge immunity are not required. |
Compared with LTC3631EMSE#PBF and MP2451DT-LF-Z, LT3980IDE#TRPBF uniquely combines 58V operation, 2A output, DA-pin fault protection, and VOUT-bias efficiency-making it the only option among the three qualified for automotive and industrial 48V systems with stringent reliability requirements.

FAQ
What is the absolute maximum input voltage rating for LT3980IDE#TRPBF?
The LT3980IDE#TRPBF has an absolute maximum VIN rating of 80V for non-repetitive 1-minute transients. Continuous operation is rated up to 58V, with overvoltage lockout engaging at 58V (minimum) to disable switching and protect internal circuitry. This makes LT3980IDE#TRPBF suitable for 48V industrial buses and automotive load-dump scenarios.
Does LT3980IDE#TRPBF require an external bootstrap diode and capacitor?
Yes, LT3980IDE#TRPBF requires an external Schottky diode (e.g., SBR3U100LP) and capacitor (typically 10nF X7R) connected between BD and BOOST pins. The BOOST pin uses this network to generate a voltage higher than VIN, enabling full saturation of the internal bipolar NPN switch-critical for achieving 200mΩ RCE(SAT) and high efficiency.
How does the DA pin function in LT3980IDE#TRPBF during fault conditions?
The DA pin on LT3980IDE#TRPBF senses catch diode current and pauses the oscillator when current exceeds ~2.4A, preventing inductor saturation and switch overstress during short circuits or input transients. This real-time current limiting operates independently of the main current-sense path and remains active even at high switching frequencies-enhancing robustness beyond standard cycle-by-cycle protection.
Can LT3980IDE#TRPBF operate with output voltages below 1.2V?
No, LT3980IDE#TRPBF cannot reliably regulate below 1.2V because its feedback reference is fixed at 790mV ±18mV. Output voltage is calculated as VOUT = 0.79V × (1 + R1/R2), so minimum practical VOUT is constrained by resistor tolerance and noise margin-typically ≥1.2V with standard 1% resistors. For sub-1V regulation, a different controller with adjustable reference is required.
What thermal derating applies to LT3980IDE#TRPBF at 125°C junction temperature?
LT3980IDE#TRPBF is rated for –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature (I-grade). At TJ = 125°C, output current must be derated per the thermal resistance: with θJA = 45°C/W on a 2-layer board, 1W of dissipation raises TJ by 45°C above ambient-so full 2A load is only sustainable with adequate copper area and airflow. Derating curves in the datasheet show ~1.5A max at 125°C ambient with minimal heatsinking.
