Product details
Overview
LT3990EMSE#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a 62V, 350mA monolithic step-down regulator with integrated boost and catch diodes, 2.5µA quiescent current at 12VIN to 3.3VOUT, low-ripple Burst Mode operation (<5mVP-P), and programmable undervoltage lockout (1.19V threshold). It delivers regulated 5V output in MSOP-16 package and is used in automotive battery regulation and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LT3990EMSE#TRPBF datasheet, LT3990EMSE#TRPBF pinout, LT3990EMSE#TRPBF application, or LT3990EMSE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (4.2V–62V), fixed 5V output, thermal performance (θJA = 40°C/W), AEC-Q100 qualification, and integrated diode architecture eliminating external components.
Technical Context
The LT3990EMSE#TRPBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control with adjustable switching frequency (200kHz–2.2MHz) set by an external RT resistor. Its internal bipolar NPN switch is driven via a BOOST capacitor to ensure full saturation, enabling high efficiency across wide input ranges.
Burst Mode operation reduces quiescent current to 1.8µA at light loads while maintaining output ripple below 5mVP-P; the power good (PG) flag asserts when VOUT reaches 90% of regulation, and catch diode current limiting (450mA typical) provides fault protection during short-circuit conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.2V to 62V - supports direct connection to 48V industrial rails and automotive batteries without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5V ±1.2% - eliminates external feedback resistors and simplifies layout for stable 5V system rail generation. |
| Max Output Current | 350mA - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and interface ICs in space-constrained designs. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.5µA at 12VIN → 5VOUT - enables always-on functionality in battery-backed systems with multi-year standby life. |
| Switching Frequency | 200kHz to 2.2MHz - allows optimization of inductor size (e.g., 33µH at 400kHz) and EMI profile per application requirements. |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 40°C/W - enables 350mA continuous operation at ambient up to 85°C with standard PCB copper area. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial environments without derating. |
Pinout & Package
LT3990EMSE#TRPBF uses a 16-lead plastic MSOP package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 17 = GND). The package features FMEA fault tolerance: open or shorted adjacent pins do not cause overvoltage at VOUT.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FB (Pins 1,2) | Feedback reference input | Internally tied; regulates to 1.21V - redundant connection improves noise immunity and reliability in noisy environments. |
| EN/UVLO (Pin 4) | Enable / undervoltage lockout input | 1.19V threshold with 35mV hysteresis - enables precise brown-in/brown-out control and zero-current shutdown (0.7µA). |
| VIN (Pin 6) | Main power input | Supplies internal circuitry and switch - requires local 1µF ceramic bypass to minimize high-frequency ripple and EMI. |
| GND (Pins 8,17) | Power and signal ground | Exposed pad (Pin 17) must be soldered to PCB - primary thermal path and low-impedance return for switch current. |
| SW (Pin 9) | Switch node | Connects to inductor - carries pulsed current up to 700mA peak; layout must minimize loop area to reduce EMI. |
| BOOST (Pin 11) | Bootstrap drive supply | Requires external capacitor to generate >VIN voltage - ensures full saturation of internal bipolar NPN switch for low VCE(SAT). |
| BD (Pin 13) | Boost diode anode | Connects to external boost diode anode - also powers internal bias regulator when >3.2V, improving light-load efficiency. |
| PG (Pin 14) | Power good open-drain flag | Asserts high when VOUT ≥90% of target - enables sequencing and fault monitoring without additional supervisor ICs. |
| RT (Pin 16) | Frequency programming | Resistor-to-ground sets switching frequency - enables trade-off between component size (higher fSW) and efficiency (lower fSW). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated boost and catch diodes | Eliminates 2 external Schottky diodes - reduces BOM count, PCB area, and assembly cost in compact 5V supply designs. |
| Low-ripple Burst Mode operation | Maintains <5mVP-P output ripple at light loads while drawing only 1.8µA - critical for noise-sensitive analog and RF subsystems. |
| FMEA fault-tolerant pinout | Output remains at or below regulation voltage during adjacent pin shorts or floating pins - meets ASIL-B functional safety requirements. |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Rated for automotive applications (Grade 1: –40°C to +125°C) - supports deployment in engine control, ADAS, and infotainment without additional qualification. |
| Accurate programmable UVLO | 1.19V enable threshold with 35mV hysteresis - enables clean power-up sequencing and prevents erratic operation near battery depletion. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the LT3990EMSE#TRPBF?
The LT3990EMSE#TRPBF supports a maximum continuous input voltage of 62V, with absolute maximum ratings of 62V on VIN and 75V on the BOOST pin. This enables direct connection to 48V industrial buses and automotive battery systems including load dump transients, provided external clamping is applied per design guidelines in the datasheet.
Does the LT3990EMSE#TRPBF require external diodes?
No, the LT3990EMSE#TRPBF integrates both the boost diode and catch diode on-die. This eliminates the need for two external Schottky diodes, reducing component count, PCB area, and potential failure points - a key differentiator versus most competing high-voltage buck regulators.
What output voltage does the LT3990EMSE#TRPBF deliver?
The LT3990EMSE#TRPBF delivers a fixed 5V output with ±1.2% accuracy over temperature and line. It belongs to the LT3990-5 variant family; unlike the adjustable LT3990 or LT3990-3.3 versions, it requires no external feedback resistors and regulates directly to 5V at the VOUT pins.
How does the LT3990EMSE#TRPBF achieve low quiescent current?
The LT3990EMSE#TRPBF achieves 2.5µA quiescent current at 12VIN→5VOUT through optimized internal biasing, low-leakage process technology, and intelligent Burst Mode operation that shuts down non-essential circuitry between switching bursts - enabling multi-year battery life in always-on applications.
Is the LT3990EMSE#TRPBF qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the LT3990EMSE#TRPBF is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 1: –40°C to +125°C) and features FMEA-compliant pinout design. Its MSOP-16 package with exposed thermal pad and robust fault protection (catch diode current limit, accurate UVLO, PG flag) make it suitable for engine control, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems.
