Product details
Overview
LTC6992HDCB-3#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a voltage-controlled pulse width modulator (PWM) IC in the TimerBlox family, designed for precision analog duty-cycle control. It delivers 0% to 95% duty cycle range, supports output frequencies from 3.81 Hz to 1 MHz via RSET and DIV pin programming, operates from 2.25 V to 5.5 V, and features ±3.7% max PWM duty cycle error over –40°C to 125°C. It is used in LED dimming and heater control where wide temperature stability and low supply current are critical.
For engineers reviewing the LTC6992HDCB-3#TRPBF datasheet, LTC6992HDCB-3#TRPBF pinout, LTC6992HDCB-3#TRPBF application, or LTC6992HDCB-3#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (6-lead DFN, 2 mm × 3 mm), confirmed pin functions (MOD, SET, DIV, OUT, V+, GND), exact duty cycle limits (0–95%), frequency accuracy (±1.7% max), and automotive-grade thermal qualification (–40°C to 125°C).
Technical Context
The LTC6992HDCB-3#TRPBF implements a master oscillator with fixed 1 MHz reference scaling, where output frequency is set by RSET (50 kΩ to 800 kΩ) and NDIV (1 to 16384) derived from a 4-bit A/D conversion of the DIV pin voltage. Its PWM generation uses a voltage-limited linear transfer function: duty cycle = (VMOD(LIM) – 0.1·VSET) / 0.8·VSET, with clamping at 0% or 95% based on version-specific limits.
It integrates internal VSET regulation (1.00 V ±30 mV), programmable polarity (POL bit), digital filtering for noise immunity, and power-on reset with 500 µs startup time. The device halts oscillation when ISET falls below ~500 nA, enabling low-power disable functionality without external circuitry.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC6992HDCB-1#TRPBF | 0% to 100% duty cycle range; no lower/upper clamping - allows full on/off states | Suitable for applications requiring complete output disable (0%) or continuous conduction (100%) | Select when system logic requires hard stop/start behavior rather than 5% minimum or 95% maximum limits |
| LTC6992HDCB-4#TRPBF | 5% to 100% duty cycle range; clamps low end at 5%, high end at 100% | Better for motor control where minimum duty prevents stalling and maximum enables full torque | Choose when load requires guaranteed minimum conduction time and unrestricted upper limit |

FAQ
What is the duty cycle range of the LTC6992HDCB-3#TRPBF?
The LTC6992HDCB-3#TRPBF has a guaranteed duty cycle range of 0% to 95%. This means the output can be fully off (0% duty) or up to 95% on, with hard clamping at both extremes. Unlike the -1 or -4 variants, it does not support 100% continuous conduction, making it ideal for applications like LED dimming where full-on operation risks thermal overstress.
How is the output frequency programmed on the LTC6992HDCB-3#TRPBF?
The LTC6992HDCB-3#TRPBF output frequency is set using two elements: an external resistor RSET (50 kΩ to 800 kΩ) connected between SET and GND, and a resistor divider on the DIV pin that selects one of eight divider ratios (NDIV = 1, 4, 16…16384). The resulting fOUT = 1 MHz × 50 kΩ / (NDIV × RSET), with ±1.7% max error over temperature.
Does the LTC6992HDCB-3#TRPBF require external components to operate?
Yes - the LTC6992HDCB-3#TRPBF requires at minimum a 0.1 µF bypass capacitor between V+ and GND, an RSET resistor from SET to GND, and a resistor divider on the DIV pin to select NDIV. The MOD pin accepts a 0–1 V analog control signal directly. No crystal, PLL loop filter, or microcontroller is needed, enabling minimal-BOM timing solutions.
Is the LTC6992HDCB-3#TRPBF qualified for automotive use?
Yes - the LTC6992HDCB-3#TRPBF carries the "H" grade designation, meaning it is specified and tested over –40°C to +125°C and meets AEC-Q100 requirements for automotive applications. Its DFN package, low supply current, and robust parametric stability make it suitable for under-hood lighting, HVAC actuators, and battery thermal management systems.
What is the purpose of the DIV pin on the LTC6992HDCB-3#TRPBF?
The DIV pin on the LTC6992HDCB-3#TRPBF serves a dual function: it sets the programmable frequency divider ratio (NDIV) via a 4-bit A/D conversion of its voltage, and its MSB (POL bit) determines output polarity - when POL = 1, the duty cycle decreases as the MOD voltage increases. This enables inverted control response without external logic.
