Product details
Overview
LT3990IMSE-5#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a 62V input, 350mA fixed 5V output monolithic buck regulator with integrated boost and catch diodes, 2.5µA quiescent current in Burst Mode, <5mVP-P output ripple, and FMEA-fault-tolerant 16-pin MSOP package-designed for automotive battery regulation and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LT3990IMSE-5#TRPBF datasheet, LT3990IMSE-5#TRPBF pinout, LT3990IMSE-5#TRPBF application, or LT3990IMSE-5#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5V fixed output, 4.2V–62V input range, 0.7µA shutdown current, AEC-Q100 qualification, and thermally enhanced MSOP package with exposed ground pad.
Technical Context
The LT3990IMSE-5#TRPBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control with programmable switching frequency (200kHz–2.2MHz via RT resistor), internal bipolar NPN switch with 210mV VCE(SAT) at 200mA, and dual current limiting: 700mA peak switch limit and 450mA valley catch diode limit. It uses low-ripple Burst Mode operation to maintain regulation while holding IQ ≤ 2.5µA at light loads.
Its fault-tolerant architecture includes accurate programmable undervoltage lockout (1.19V threshold, 35mV hysteresis), open-drain power good flag (90% VOUT threshold), and internal sense-based catch diode current protection-ensuring safe operation during shorted outputs or adjacent pin shorts in the MSOP package.

Pinout & Package
LT3990IMSE-5#TRPBF is housed in a 16-lead plastic MSOP package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 17 = GND), θJA = 40°C/W, θJC = 10°C/W. The package supports AEC-Q100 Grade I (–40°C to +125°C) operation and features FMEA-compliant pin layout with redundant FB/VOUT pins and NC pins for fault tolerance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 & 2 (VOUT) | Fixed-output voltage reference node | Internally connected; ties to internal 5V feedback divider-must connect both to output for redundancy and fault tolerance |
| Pin 4 (EN/UVLO) | Enable and undervoltage lockout input | Active-high enable with 1.19V rising threshold and 35mV hysteresis; disables regulator below 4.2V VIN |
| Pin 6 (VIN) | Main power input | Supplies internal circuitry and switch; requires local ceramic bypass (≥1µF X7R) |
| Pin 8 & 17 (GND) | Power and signal ground | Exposed pad (Pin 17) must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity |
| Pin 9 (SW) | Switch node | Drives external inductor; connects to internal bipolar NPN switch collector |
| Pin 11 (BOOST) | Bootstrap drive voltage source | Provides >VIN voltage to fully saturate internal switch; requires external capacitor to SW |
| Pin 13 (BD) | Boost diode anode connection | Connects to external boost diode anode; also powers internal bias regulator when >3.2V |
| Pin 14 (PG) | Open-drain power good flag | Asserts high (via external pull-up) when VOUT reaches 90% of 5V; valid only if VIN > 4.2V and EN high |
| Pin 16 (RT) | Frequency programming input | Resistor to GND sets switching frequency from 200kHz to 2.2MHz per Table 1 in datasheet |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3630EMSE-5#PBF | Same 5V fixed output, but lower 40V max input, higher 10µA IQ, no integrated catch diode, requires external Schottky | Suitable for space-constrained non-automotive apps where 62V rating is unnecessary and external diode layout is acceptable | Select LTC3630EMSE-5#PBF only if input never exceeds 40V and thermal budget allows higher IQ |
| TPS54302DDAR | 5V fixed output, 5.5–28V input, 3A output, no integrated diodes, 25µA IQ, no AEC-Q100 grade | Targeted at higher-current industrial or telecom apps where 350mA is insufficient and external diodes are preferred | Choose TPS54302DDAR only when >1A output is needed and automotive qualification is not required |
Compared with LTC3630EMSE-5#PBF and TPS54302DDAR, LT3990IMSE-5#TRPBF uniquely combines 62V input tolerance, integrated diodes, sub-3µA quiescent current, and AEC-Q100 qualification-making it the only drop-in solution for automotive and harsh-environment 5V point-of-load regulation.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LT3990IMSE-5#TRPBF?
The absolute maximum input voltage for LT3990IMSE-5#TRPBF is 62V on the VIN pin and 75V on the BOOST pin. Operation above 62V on VIN risks permanent damage. During transient overvoltage events (e.g., automotive load dump), the device reduces switching frequency to maintain regulation-but sustained operation beyond 62V violates Absolute Maximum Ratings and voids warranty. Always use input clamping or TVS protection for systems exposed to >62V transients.
Does LT3990IMSE-5#TRPBF require external feedback resistors to set the output voltage?
No, LT3990IMSE-5#TRPBF does not require external feedback resistors. It is a fixed 5V output variant-the internal feedback divider is factory-trimmed to deliver 5.00V ±1.2% across temperature and load. Pins 1 and 2 are labeled VOUT and internally connected to this fixed-ratio network. External resistors would disrupt regulation and are neither needed nor recommended for LT3990IMSE-5#TRPBF.
How does the power good (PG) flag behave on LT3990IMSE-5#TRPBF?
The PG pin on LT3990IMSE-5#TRPBF is an open-drain output that remains low until the VOUT pin reaches 90% of its nominal 5V output (i.e., 4.5V). It becomes valid only when VIN > 4.2V and EN/UVLO is high. An external pull-up resistor (typically 10kΩ to 5V) is required. PG asserts high to signal proper regulation-enabling safe sequencing of downstream processors or peripherals in automotive and industrial systems using LT3990IMSE-5#TRPBF.
Can LT3990IMSE-5#TRPBF operate with input voltages below 4.2V?
No, LT3990IMSE-5#TRPBF cannot regulate with input voltages below 4.2V. Its minimum operating input voltage is 4.2V, as specified in Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics. Below this, the internal bias circuit fails to start, EN/UVLO threshold becomes invalid, and the device remains in shutdown-even if EN/UVLO is pulled high. For sub-4.2V inputs, a boost pre-regulator stage is required before feeding power to LT3990IMSE-5#TRPBF.
What thermal considerations apply to LT3990IMSE-5#TRPBF in the MSOP package?
LT3990IMSE-5#TRPBF in the 16-lead MSOP package has θJA = 40°C/W and θJC = 10°C/W. To ensure reliable operation at full 350mA load, the exposed thermal pad (Pin 17) must be soldered to a minimum 100mm² copper pour connected to internal/external ground planes. Without adequate thermal relief, junction temperature can exceed 125°C at ambient >85°C-triggering thermal shutdown. Derate output current linearly above 85°C ambient per the thermal curves in the LT3990 datasheet.
