Product details
Overview
LTC6992CDCB-2#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a voltage-controlled pulse width modulator (PWM) IC in the TimerBlox family, designed for precise analog-digital timing control. It delivers 5% to 95% duty cycle range, 3.81Hz–1MHz output frequency, ±1.7% max frequency error, and operates from 2.25V–5.5V supply. Used in LED dimming, heater control, and servo loops where stable, low-power PWM generation is required.
For engineers reviewing the LTC6992CDCB-2#TRPBF datasheet, LTC6992CDCB-2#TRPBF pinout, LTC6992CDCB-2#TRPBF application, or LTC6992CDCB-2#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (6-lead DFN, 2mm × 3mm), confirmed MOD/SET/DIV pin functions, duty-cycle clamping behavior, and validated automotive-grade alternatives for industrial thermal and lighting control designs.
Technical Context
The LTC6992CDCB-2#TRPBF implements a master oscillator with programmable divider (NDIV = 1, 4, 16, ..., 16384) and analog PWM input on the MOD pin. Its internal 4-bit A/D converter interprets DIV pin voltage to set both NDIV and polarity (POL bit), while VSET is regulated to 1.00V ±30mV to decouple frequency accuracy from supply drift.
It features CMOS output capable of sourcing/sinking 20mA, 500µs startup time, and <3.7% max PWM duty cycle error over temperature. The device uses a single external RSET resistor (50kΩ–800kΩ) to program fOUT, with frequency equation fOUT = 1MHz × 50kΩ / (NDIV × RSET), valid across its full operating range (0°C to 70°C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Frequency Range | 3.81Hz to 1MHz - supports ultra-low-power sleep-mode timing and high-speed LED switching without external clock sources. |
| Duty Cycle Range | 5% to 95% - prevents output saturation in closed-loop thermal control and avoids zero-current conditions in MOSFET gate drives. |
| Frequency Accuracy | ±1.7% max over temperature - enables reliable timing in unregulated environments without calibration. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.25V to 5.5V - compatible with Li-ion, 3.3V logic, and legacy 5V systems without level-shifting. |
| Supply Current | 105µA to 450µA - scales with RSET and NDIV; enables battery operation >10 years in low-duty-cycle sensor nodes. |
| Operating Temp | 0°C to 70°C - specified performance range for commercial-grade embedded control applications. |
| Output Drive | ±20mA CMOS - directly drives small-signal MOSFETs, LEDs, or optocouplers without buffer stages. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-lead (2mm × 3mm) plastic DFN (DCB), exposed pad (Pin 7) connected to GND. Low-profile 1mm height suitable for space-constrained PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| V+ | Positive supply input | 2.25V–5.5V rail; requires local 0.1µF bypass to GND for noise immunity and stable oscillation. |
| DIV | Programmable divider & polarity select | 4-bit A/D input; resistor divider sets NDIV (1–16384) and POL bit to invert output polarity. |
| SET | Frequency-setting node | Regulated at 1.00V; ISET = VSET/RSET programs master oscillator; RSET = 50kΩ–800kΩ. |
| MOD | Analog PWM control input | 0.1×VSET to 0.9×VSET (≈100mV–900mV) linearly controls duty cycle; clamps at 5%/95% limits. |
| GND | Ground reference | Low-inductance return path; exposed pad must be connected to PCB ground plane for thermal and EMI performance. |
| OUT | PWM output driver | CMOS rail-to-rail output; 30Ω typical drive impedance; sinks/sources up to 20mA into resistive loads. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Voltage-controlled PWM | 0V–1V analog MOD input maps linearly to 5%–95% duty cycle-enables direct interface with DACs or op-amp feedback signals. |
| Single-resistor frequency programming | RSET sets fOUT with no trimming or calibration needed; tolerance-driven accuracy dominates total error budget. |
| Programmable division ratio | 8 discrete NDIV settings (1–16384) via DIV pin voltage-allows one BOM part to cover wide frequency ranges across product variants. |
| Low quiescent current | As low as 105µA at V+ = 2.25V, RSET = 800kΩ, NDIV ≥ 16-extends battery life in portable instrumentation and IoT edge nodes. |
| Robust start-up behavior | 500µs guaranteed start-up time with POR circuitry-ensures deterministic initialization after power-on or brownout recovery. |

FAQ
What is the duty cycle range of the LTC6992CDCB-2#TRPBF?
The LTC6992CDCB-2#TRPBF has a guaranteed 5% to 95% duty cycle range. This is fixed by design-unlike the LTC6992-1 (0%–100%) or LTC6992-3 (0%–95%). At VMOD = 0V, output clamps at ~5%; at VMOD = 1V, it clamps at ~95%. This prevents complete on/off states in thermal or lighting control where endpoint stability is critical. The LTC6992CDCB-2#TRPBF achieves this via internal analog limiting circuitry tied to the MOD pin transfer function.
How do I set the output frequency of the LTC6992CDCB-2#TRPBF?
Set the output frequency of the LTC6992CDCB-2#TRPBF using a single external resistor (RSET) between the SET pin and GND. With RSET = 50kΩ–800kΩ, fOUT = 1MHz × 50kΩ / (NDIV × RSET). NDIV is selected via the DIV pin voltage (e.g., 0.125×V+ → NDIV = 1; 0.375×V+ → NDIV = 4). The LTC6992CDCB-2#TRPBF's internal VSET regulation at 1.00V ensures frequency accuracy depends only on RSET tolerance and inherent ±1.7% device error.
Does the LTC6992CDCB-2#TRPBF require external capacitors?
The LTC6992CDCB-2#TRPBF requires only one mandatory external capacitor: a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor between V+ and GND, placed as close as possible to the pins. No timing capacitor is needed-the oscillator is resistor-programmed. Capacitance on MOD or SET pins must be limited to <2.5pF and <10pF respectively to maintain linearity and low jitter. Excess capacitance on DIV (>100pF) slows settling and causes NDIV misreads.
What is the operating temperature specification for the LTC6992CDCB-2#TRPBF?
The LTC6992CDCB-2#TRPBF is specified for 0°C to 70°C operation-this is the temperature range over which all electrical parameters (frequency accuracy, duty cycle error, supply current) are guaranteed per the datasheet. While the device is characterized from –40°C to 85°C, only the 0°C to 70°C range is production-tested and warranted. For extended-range applications, consider the LTC6992IDCB-2#TRPBF (–40°C to 85°C) or LTC6992HDCB-2#TRPBF (–40°C to 125°C).
Can the LTC6992CDCB-2#TRPBF drive an LED directly?
Yes-the LTC6992CDCB-2#TRPBF can drive small LEDs directly via its CMOS OUT pin, which sources/sinks up to ±20mA. For a typical 20mA red LED (VF ≈ 2.0V), connect in series with a current-limiting resistor: R = (V+ − VF) / 20mA. At V+ = 3.3V, R ≈ 65Ω. Avoid direct connection to low-impedance loads like bare MOSFET gates without series resistance, as output slew rate and ringing may increase. The LTC6992CDCB-2#TRPBF's 30Ω output impedance helps dampen such effects.
