Product details
Overview
LT3999HMSE#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic, high-voltage, high-frequency push-pull DC/DC transformer driver IC designed for isolated power generation in compact, low-noise applications. It integrates dual 1A current-limited switches, programmable 50kHz–1MHz switching frequency, duty cycle control via RDC pin, precision UVLO/OVLO thresholds (1.25V ±100mV), and <1µA shutdown current. It enables 12V-to-12V, 10W isolated supplies in medical instrumentation and RS485 data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT3999HMSE#TRPBF datasheet, LT3999HMSE#TRPBF pinout, LT3999HMSE#TRPBF application, or LT3999HMSE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its –40°C to 150°C guaranteed junction temperature rating, MSOP-10 exposed-pad thermal performance (θJA = 40°C/W), dual-switch cross-conduction prevention, and ∆VIN compensation capability via duty cycle control.
Technical Context
The LT3999HMSE#TRPBF implements a synchronous push-pull topology with two out-of-phase 1A NPN power switches driving a center-tapped transformer primary. Its oscillator operates at twice the effective switch frequency (e.g., RT = 28kΩ sets fSW = 500kHz per switch), and supports external synchronization up to 1MHz with rising-edge-triggered clock alignment.
Duty cycle is actively adjusted via OVLO/DC pin voltage and RDC resistor to compensate input line variations-enabling pseudo-regulation before post-LDO stages. Protection includes programmable UVLO (1.25V threshold, 125mV hysteresis), OVLO (same threshold), non-overlap timing (70ns), and thermal shutdown above 150°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switch Current Limit | 1.0A typical (internal default); programmable down to 0.5A via ILIM/SS resistor |
| Switching Frequency Range | 50kHz to 1MHz; set by RT resistor (e.g., 28kΩ → 500kHz) and synchronizable externally |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 36V operating; UVLO/OVLO thresholds programmable via resistive dividers |
| Duty Cycle Control | Adjustable 20%–48% via RDC resistor and OVLO/DC pin voltage; enables line regulation |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA at VUVLO = 0.3V; enables ultra-low-power system standby |
| Operating Junction Temp | –40°C to +150°C (H-grade); validated across full range with derating above 125°C |
| Package Thermal Resistance | θJA = 40°C/W (MSOP-10 with exposed pad soldered to PCB ground plane) |
Pinout & Package
LT3999HMSE#TRPBF is housed in a 10-lead MSOP package (MSE) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 11) that must be soldered to PCB ground for thermal and electrical integrity. Package dimensions: 3.00mm × 3.00mm × 1.10mm, pitch 0.50mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SWA (Pin 1) | Switch A collector output | Drives one outer terminal of center-tapped transformer; handles 1A pulsed current; requires short/wide PCB trace |
| RBIAS (Pin 2) | Bias current reference | Sets internal switch bias via 49.9kΩ-to-GND resistor; determines drive strength and saturation voltage |
| VIN (Pin 3) | Main supply input | Accepts 2.7V–36V; powers internal regulator and gate drivers; requires ≥4.7µF low-ESR ceramic bypass |
| UVLO (Pin 4) | Undervoltage lockout input | Disables switching below 1.25V threshold (125mV hysteresis); also enables shutdown mode when pulled low |
| OVLO/DC (Pin 5) | Overvoltage lockout / Duty cycle control | Double-function pin: OVLO disables switching above 1.25V; voltage level here directly modulates duty cycle |
| RDC (Pin 6) | Duty cycle programming | Resistor-to-GND sets duty cycle range (20%–48%); floating or tied to OVLO/DC disables control (≈50% default) |
| RT (Pin 7) | Oscillator timing | Resistor-to-GND sets switching frequency (50kHz–1MHz); accuracy depends on RT tolerance and tempco |
| SYNC (Pin 8) | External clock input | Accepts >2V square wave; forces oscillator sync; internal frequency must be 10%–50% lower than sync signal |
| ILIM/SS (Pin 9) | Current limit / Soft-start | Resistor sets cycle-by-cycle current limit (0.5A–1.4A); capacitor adds soft-start ramp (tSS = CSS × 80ms) |
| GND (Pin 11) | Power and thermal ground | Exposed pad; mandatory connection to solid PCB ground plane with multiple thermal vias for θJA = 40°C/W |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise push-pull topology | Minimizes EMI and output ripple without requiring complex filtering; enables <100mVP-P noise in optimized layouts |
| Programmable duty cycle control | Compensates input voltage variation to stabilize transformer output prior to LDO post-regulation, reducing LDO power dissipation |
| Cross-conduction prevention | 70ns non-overlap timing ensures SWA and SWB never conduct simultaneously-preventing shoot-through and transformer saturation |
| Adjustable soft-start | Capacitor-based ramp on ILIM/SS limits inrush current during startup; prevents input rail sag and transformer core reset issues |
| High-temperature H-grade rating | Guaranteed operation from –40°C to +150°C junction temperature-suitable for under-hood automotive, industrial, and medical environments |

FAQ
What is the maximum guaranteed junction temperature for LT3999HMSE#TRPBF?
The LT3999HMSE#TRPBF is fully specified and guaranteed to operate from –40°C to +150°C junction temperature. This H-grade rating is validated across the full range, with lifetime derating applied above 125°C per manufacturer guidelines. The exposed pad (Pin 11) must be soldered to a thermal ground plane to achieve θJA = 40°C/W and sustain continuous 150°C operation.
How does duty cycle control work on the LT3999HMSE#TRPBF?
Duty cycle control on the LT3999HMSE#TRPBF uses the OVLO/DC pin voltage and RDC resistor to adjust individual switch duty cycle between 20% and 48%. By referencing OVLO/DC to VIN via a resistor divider, the LT3999HMSE#TRPBF dynamically modifies duty cycle to compensate for input voltage changes-stabilizing transformer output before post-regulation. Leaving RDC floating defaults to ≈50%.
Can LT3999HMSE#TRPBF synchronize to an external clock, and what are the requirements?
Yes, the LT3999HMSE#TRPBF supports external synchronization via the SYNC pin (Pin 8). The internal oscillator frequency must be set 10%–50% lower than the external clock frequency. The SYNC signal must be a >2V square wave; its rising edge triggers clock discharge. If unused, SYNC must be tied to GND-floating is not permitted.
What is the purpose of the RBIAS pin on LT3999HMSE#TRPBF, and how is it configured?
The RBIAS pin (Pin 2) on the LT3999HMSE#TRPBF sets the internal bias current for the power switches, directly influencing saturation voltage (VCE(SAT)) and switching speed. It is configured with a single 49.9kΩ resistor connected from Pin 2 to GND. Deviating from this value alters switch conduction losses and thermal behavior-49.9kΩ is the manufacturer-optimized value for 1A operation.
Does LT3999HMSE#TRPBF require external MOSFETs, or are switches integrated?
The LT3999HMSE#TRPBF integrates two matched 1A NPN power switches (SWA and SWB) on-die-no external MOSFETs or transistors are required. These switches drive the center-tapped transformer primary directly. The IC handles gate drive, current limiting, non-overlap timing, and thermal protection internally, enabling complete isolated DC/DC solutions with minimal external components.
