Product details
Overview
LTC1531CSW#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a self-powered, capacitive-isolated dual differential comparator with 2500VRMS isolation, integrated 2.5V regulated output (5mA max), and zero-cross detection for triac control. It operates without an isolated supply, draws 10–14mA at VCC = 5V, and supports isolated thermistor temperature control, AC line voltage monitoring, and switch control in high-voltage industrial interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1531CSW#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1531CSW#TRPBF pinout, LTC1531CSW#TRPBF application, or LTC1531CSW#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its self-powered isolation architecture, 300Hz typical sample rate, 2.5V VREG pulsed output (108μs), dual differential input topology (V1–V4), and UL1577 recognition - all critical for safety-isolated sensing in AC mains-connected systems.
Technical Context
The LTC1531CSW#TRPBF implements a switched-capacitor isolation barrier that transfers both power and data across a 2500VRMS capacitive interface. Its isolated side cycles between power harvesting (via VPW capacitor charging) and brief active periods: a 108μs VREG pulse powers internal circuitry and CMPOUT, enabling one sampled comparison per power-listen cycle.
It features two independent comparator functions: a primary 4-input summing comparator (V1+V2)/2 > (V3+V4)/2 supporting differential or single-ended inputs, and a dedicated zero-cross comparator (ZCPOS/ZCNEG) with ±30mV offset and 200–800mV hysteresis, generating TTL-level ZCDATA pulses for triac triggering synchronized to AC line zero crossings.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Voltage | 2500VRMS (1 min), UL1577 recognized - enables direct connection to 120/240V AC mains without external isolation components. |
| VREG Output | 2.5V ±50mV, pulsed 108μs ON time, 5mA max load - powers external sensors (e.g., thermistor bridges) on isolated side with minimal quiescent drain. |
| Sample Rate | 200–300Hz typical under light load - determined by VPW capacitor recharge rate; non-uniform timing due to power-dependent listen-cycle activation. |
| Input Impedance | 300MΩ (balanced inputs), 18MΩ (unbalanced) - enables high-impedance sensor interfacing without loading effects on bridge circuits. |
| dV/dt Immunity | 50V/μs continuous - ensures reliable operation under fast-rising common-mode transients typical in motor drives and SMPS environments. |
| Zero-Cross Offset | ±30mV (typ), ±120mV (max) - defines minimum detectable zero-crossing amplitude, critical for accurate phase-angle control of triacs. |
| Supply Current | 10–14mA at VCC = 5V, SHDN = VCC - sets system-level power budget for powered-side logic and timing circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-lead plastic SO (SW), wide-body (0.300"), ISO-rated for 2500VRMS isolation. Pin pitch: 0.050", body width: 0.394–0.419", lead count: 28.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC (1) | Powered-side supply input | 5V nominal input; powers internal timing, transmit logic, and shutdown circuitry on non-isolated side. |
| SHDN (2) | Active-low shutdown control | Pulls DATA low and disables internal oscillation; reduces supply current to ≤10μA when asserted. |
| ZCNEG (3), ZCPOS (4) | Zero-cross comparator inputs | Dedicated differential inputs for AC line phase-shifted signals; ESD-clamped, rail-to-rail common-mode range. |
| VPW (11) | Isolated-side power storage node | Connects to external capacitor (≥1μF); self-regulates at ~3.3V; enables comparator only when ≥3.3V reached. |
| CMPOUT (12) | Latched isolated comparator output | Driven by VREG during its 108μs ON window; used for hysteresis feedback (e.g., in temperature controllers). |
| VREG (13) | Isolated 2.5V regulated output | Pulsed reference source; supplies CMPOUT and external sensors; not Hi-Z during OFF time - avoid large capacitive loads. |
| ISOGND (14) | Isolated-side ground reference | Must float relative to GND; forms return path for VREG, CMPOUT, and V1–V4 inputs on isolated side. |
| V1–V4 (15–18) | Dual differential comparator inputs | Summing inputs: comparison result = (V1+V2)/2 > (V3+V4)/2; supports midsupply referencing via VREG/2. |
| VALID (25) | Data-valid strobe | 200ns-delayed pulse indicating new DATA latched; used to clock external registers or microcontroller inputs. |
| DATA (26) | Latched comparator result | Holds last valid comparison outcome (logic 0/1); resets to 0 on power-up or SHDN assertion. |
| ZCDATA (27) | Zero-cross trigger pulse | 24–30μs TTL pulse generated only when DATA = 1 AND ZCPOS–ZCNEG crosses zero with sufficient hysteresis margin. |
| GND (28) | Powered-side ground | Low-impedance return for VCC, SHDN, and output drivers; must be separated from ISOGND by isolation barrier. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar isolated comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM3190TRWZ | Galvanically isolated error amplifier (not comparator); 2.5V reference output; 10kVRMS isolation; requires external comparator. | Targeted at isolated feedback loops in DC-DC converters, not discrete sensing or zero-cross control. | Select when closed-loop regulation (e.g., SMPS feedback) is needed, not open-loop threshold detection or triac timing. |
| ISO124U | Analog isolator (not self-powered); requires separate isolated supply; 2500VRMS; no integrated comparator or VREG. | Suitable for isolated analog signal transmission only; cannot replace LTC1531CSW#TRPBF's integrated sensing + power + logic functions. | Choose only if existing design already provides isolated power and needs pure analog isolation - adds BOM cost and complexity. |
Compared with ADUM3190TRWZ and ISO124U, the LTC1531CSW#TRPBF uniquely integrates self-powered isolation, dual comparator functionality, zero-cross detection, and a 2.5V pulsed reference in a single SO-28 package - eliminating external power conversion, reference ICs, and discrete comparators required by alternatives.

FAQ
What is the isolation rating and safety certification of the LTC1531CSW#TRPBF?
The LTC1531CSW#TRPBF provides 2500VRMS isolation rated per UL1577 (File E151738). It is not certified to IEC 60747-5-2 or VDE 0884-10. The isolation barrier uses internal capacitors formed in the lead frame of the SW28 package, enabling reinforced insulation for functional safety in industrial equipment. This rating applies to the full operating temperature range (0°C to 70°C) and is validated for 1 minute at 2500VRMS.
How does the LTC1531CSW#TRPBF achieve self-powered operation across the isolation barrier?
The LTC1531CSW#TRPBF uses a capacitive isolation barrier to transfer energy from the powered side (VCC) to the isolated side via VPW. During the "power cycle", charge is pumped onto an external capacitor (typically 1μF) connected to VPW. When VPW reaches ~3.3V, the isolated circuit activates, pulses VREG for 108μs, and performs one comparator sampling. No external isolated supply is needed - the entire function is sustained by this cyclic energy transfer.
What is the function of the CMPOUT pin on the LTC1531CSW#TRPBF, and how is it used in practice?
The CMPOUT pin on the LTC1531CSW#TRPBF outputs the latched result of the previous isolated comparator decision, driven by VREG during its 108μs ON window. In practice, it is used to implement hysteresis - for example, feeding CMPOUT back to V3/V4 to shift the trip point based on prior state. It is not continuously active and goes Hi-Z when VREG is off, making it ideal for low-power, event-driven feedback in temperature controllers.
Can the LTC1531CSW#TRPBF interface directly with a microcontroller GPIO, and what are the voltage levels?
Yes - the DATA, VALID, and ZCDATA outputs of the LTC1531CSW#TRPBF are TTL-compatible. At VCC = 4.5V, VOH ≥ 3.0V (IO = –400μA) and VOL ≤ 0.4V (IO = 1.6mA), ensuring reliable interfacing with 3.3V or 5V microcontrollers. VALID is delayed 200ns after DATA, allowing clean edge-aligned capture. All three outputs are actively driven - no pull-ups required.
What is the maximum continuous dV/dt the LTC1531CSW#TRPBF can withstand across its isolation barrier?
The LTC1531CSW#TRPBF guarantees 50V/μs continuous common-mode dV/dt immunity. Beyond this, the isolated side may fail to detect the end of the power cycle, disrupting sampling. This specification is derived from the internal timing architecture and verified by design (not tested per unit). For higher transient immunity, external filtering or slower switching topologies are recommended - the device is not rated for >50V/μs sustained slew rates.
