Product details
Overview
LT3988HMSE#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual monolithic 60V-input, 1A-per-channel synchronous step-down DC/DC converter with integrated NPN power switches, internal boost diodes, and loop compensation. It operates from 4.1V to 60V input, delivers two independent regulated outputs (e.g., 5V/1A and 3.3V/1A), and supports anti-phase switching at up to 2.5MHz to minimize input ripple - used in commercial vehicle battery regulation and industrial distributed supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LT3988HMSE#TRPBF datasheet, LT3988HMSE#TRPBF pinout, LT3988HMSE#TRPBF application, or LT3988HMSE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its –40°C to 150°C junction-rated H-grade MSOP-16 package, dual-channel current-mode control with 0.75V FB reference, 80V transient tolerance on VIN1, and programmable frequency via RT resistor or SYNC input.
Technical Context
The LT3988HMSE#TRPBF implements two independent current-mode PWM regulators sharing a master oscillator, with 180° phase offset to reduce input capacitor RMS current. Each channel uses bipolar NPN switches driven by BOOST pins, with DA pins enabling cycle-by-cycle overcurrent detection via external Schottky diode anode sensing.
It integrates undervoltage lockout (VIN1: 4.1V typ, VIN2: 2.6V typ), overvoltage protection (60V continuous, 80V transient), thermal shutdown, and frequency foldback during overload - all operating within a guaranteed –40°C to 150°C junction temperature range for automotive and harsh-environment use.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.1V to 60V continuous; withstands 80V nonrepetitive transients - enables direct connection to 24V/48V commercial vehicle batteries without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current per Channel | 1A continuous - supports dual-rail microcontroller or FPGA core/I/O supply generation from single high-voltage source. |
| Switching Frequency Range | 250kHz to 2.5MHz, set by RT resistor or SYNC signal - allows optimization of size (high-freq) vs. efficiency (low-freq) and EMI compliance. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 0.75V ±1.5% over temperature - enables precise output regulation with standard resistor dividers; low drift minimizes output error across –40°C to 150°C. |
| Junction Temperature Range | –40°C to 150°C (H-grade) - qualified for under-hood automotive and high-ambient industrial applications where thermal derating is critical. |
| Quiescent Current (VIN1) | 1.6mA typ at VBD = 5V - ensures low no-load power loss in always-on systems such as telematics or sensor hubs. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - enables deep sleep modes in battery-backed systems without significant leakage drain. |
Pinout & Package
The LT3988HMSE#TRPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 16-lead MSOP package with exposed pad (Pin 17), which must be soldered to PCB ground for thermal and electrical integrity (θJA = 40°C/W, θJC = 10°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DA1, DA2 | Diode Anode Sense Inputs | Detect external Schottky diode anode voltage to disable switching if current exceeds 1.32A - provides short-circuit robustness without external sense resistors. |
| SW1, SW2 | Power Switch Outputs | Drive external inductors and catch diodes; each connects to internal NPN switch collector - requires low-inductance layout to minimize switching losses and EMI. |
| BOOST1, BOOST2 | Bootstrap Drive Supplies | Provide >VIN gate drive to internal NPN switches via external capacitors - enable efficient saturation of bipolar transistors at high input voltages. |
| FB1, FB2 | Feedback Inputs | Regulated to 0.75V; connect to resistor divider taps - sets output voltage as VOUT = 0.75V × (1 + R1/R2); bias current <100nA minimizes divider error. |
| TRACK/SS1, TRACK/SS2 | Soft-Start / Tracking Control | Accept external capacitor for soft-start ramp or resistor divider for output tracking - ensures controlled power-up sequencing between rails. |
| EN/UVLO | Enable / Undervoltage Lockout | Logic-compatible input; enables operation above 1.2V (typ), disables below 0.5V (typ); also accepts resistor divider from VIN1 for programmable UVLO threshold. |
| RT | Oscillator Frequency Set | Connect resistor to GND to program switching frequency from 250kHz to 2.5MHz - eliminates need for external clock generator in most designs. |
| SYNC | External Clock Input | Accepts 0.25–2.5MHz logic-level signal with ≥100ns pulse widths - enables synchronization to system clock for EMI reduction or multi-converter coordination. |
| VIN1, VIN2 | Input Power Supplies | VIN1 powers internal circuitry and Channel 1 switch; VIN2 powers Channel 2 switch - supports independent or cascaded inputs; VIN2 must tie to VIN1 if >60V. |
| BD | Boost Diode Supply | Connects to ≥3V supply (e.g., VOUT) to power internal boost diodes - reduces quiescent current draw from VIN1 and improves efficiency. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Exposes thermal pad (Pin 17) tied to GND - mandatory soldering required for thermal performance and noise immunity. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous input voltage rating for the LT3988HMSE#TRPBF?
The LT3988HMSE#TRPBF has a maximum continuous input voltage rating of 60V on VIN1 and VIN2. It tolerates nonrepetitive 80V transients for up to 1 second on VIN1, making it suitable for 24V and 48V commercial vehicle battery systems subject to load-dump events. VIN2 must be connected to VIN1 if driven above 60V.
Does the LT3988HMSE#TRPBF require external bootstrap diodes?
No, the LT3988HMSE#TRPBF integrates internal boost diodes connected between the BD pin and BOOST1/BOOST2 pins. When BD is supplied with ≥3V (e.g., from VOUT), these diodes eliminate the need for four external bootstrap diodes - reducing component count, layout complexity, and potential failure points in high-reliability designs.
How does the LT3988HMSE#TRPBF achieve anti-phase switching between its two channels?
The LT3988HMSE#TRPBF uses an internal master oscillator with dedicated circuitry to generate complementary 180° out-of-phase clock signals for SW1 and SW2. This phase offset is fixed and inherent to the IC architecture - no external configuration is required. Measured phase difference is 150° to 210° across temperature and load, ensuring consistent input ripple reduction.
What is the function of the DA1 and DA2 pins on the LT3988HMSE#TRPBF?
The DA1 and DA2 pins on the LT3988HMSE#TRPBF monitor the anode voltage of external Schottky catch diodes. If current through the diode exceeds 1.32A (typ), the corresponding channel shuts down until current falls below threshold - providing cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection without external sense resistors or complex fault logic.
Is the LT3988HMSE#TRPBF pin-compatible with other grades like LT3988EMSE#TRPBF or LT3988IMSE#TRPBF?
Yes, the LT3988HMSE#TRPBF is pin-compatible and footprint-compatible with LT3988EMSE#TRPBF and LT3988IMSE#TRPBF - all use the same 16-lead MSOP package with exposed pad. The only difference is the guaranteed operating junction temperature range: E-grade (0°C to 125°C), I-grade (–40°C to 125°C), and H-grade (–40°C to 150°C). Electrical specifications are identical across grades.
