Product details
Overview
LTC6992HDCB-4#TRMPBF 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 5% to 100% programmable duty cycle range, operates from 2.25V to 5.5V supply, supports output frequencies from 3.81Hz to 1MHz via RSET and DIV pin configuration, and features ±3.7% max PWM duty cycle error over –40°C to 125°C - ideal for automotive LED dimming and heater control.
For engineers reviewing the LTC6992HDCB-4#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC6992HDCB-4#TRMPBF pinout, LTC6992HDCB-4#TRMPBF application, or LTC6992HDCB-4#TRMPBF equivalent, this device offers verified AEC-Q100 qualification, DFN-6 package compatibility, deterministic VCO-style frequency programming, and factory-trimmed 1V SET reference with <1.7% frequency error - critical for closed-loop servo timing and battery-powered thermal management systems.
Technical Context
The LTC6992HDCB-4#TRMPBF implements a master oscillator (1MHz max) whose frequency is set by ISET current sourced through an external RSET resistor, with VSET regulated to 1.00V ±30mV. Its internal 4-bit A/D converter reads the DIV pin voltage to select one of eight NDIV values (1, 4, 16, 64, 256, 1024, 4096, 16384), enabling precise frequency division without digital interface.
Duty cycle is linearly controlled by VMOD input (0.1•VSET to 0.9•VSET), clamped at 5% min / 100% max per its -4 variant designation. The CMOS output driver sources/sinks ±20mA with 30Ω typical output resistance, and includes power-on reset, 500µs startup time, and long-term drift of 90ppm/√kHr - all specified across its full –40°C to 125°C operating range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Frequency Range | 3.81Hz to 1MHz - set by RSET (50kΩ–800kΩ) and NDIV (1–16384); enables ultra-low-power sleep-mode timing or high-speed motor control. |
| Duty Cycle Range | 5% to 100% - hard-clamped minimum/maximum ensures safe operation in heater or LED drive circuits where 0% or 100% could cause thermal runaway or open-circuit failure. |
| Frequency Accuracy | ±1.7% max over temperature - guaranteed across –40°C to 125°C, eliminating need for external calibration in automotive under-hood applications. |
| PWM Duty Cycle Error | ±3.7% max - measured over 0.2•VSET to 0.8•VSET input range, supporting stable feedback in analog PID loops without digital compensation. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.25V to 5.5V - single-supply operation compatible with Li-ion, 3.3V logic, and automotive 5V rails; includes 1.95V POR threshold. |
| Supply Current | 105µA to 450µA - scales with NDIV and RSET; as low as 105µA at V+ = 2.25V, RSET = 800kΩ, NDIV ≥ 16 - suitable for always-on battery monitoring. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 125°C - H-grade qualification confirmed per datasheet Table "Specified Temperature Range", enabling use in engine control units and industrial PLCs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-lead (2mm × 3mm) plastic DFN (DCB), exposed pad (Pin 7) connected to GND; 1mm profile height; RoHS-compliant, lead-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| V+ | Positive supply input | 2.25V–5.5V rail; requires local 0.1µF bypass to GND; powers internal oscillator, A/D, and CMOS output stage. |
| DIV | Programmable divider & polarity input | 4-bit A/D input; resistor-divider voltage sets NDIV (1–16384) and output polarity (POL bit); ≤100pF capacitance required for settling. |
| SET | Frequency-setting reference node | Internally regulated to 1.00V ±30mV; ISET = VSET/RSET programs master oscillator; RSET = 50kΩ–800kΩ sets fMASTER. |
| MOD | Analog PWM control input | 0.1•VSET to 0.9•VSET (≈100mV–900mV) linearly controls duty cycle; outside range clamps to 5%/100% for LTC6992-4. |
| GND | Ground reference | Low-inductance return path for supply, SET, MOD, and output; exposed pad must be soldered for thermal performance. |
| OUT | CMOS PWM output | Rail-to-rail (GND to V+) switching; ±20mA drive capability; 30Ω typical output impedance; requires series resistor when driving LEDs or low-Z loads. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage-controlled PWM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC6992HDCB-2#TRMPBF | 5% to 95% duty cycle range; same package, temp grade, and electrical specs except DMIN/DMAX limits. | Suitable where hard 100% duty cycle is prohibited (e.g., fan control with stall protection). | Select LTC6992HDCB-2#TRMPBF if system safety requires strict 5–95% clamping; otherwise LTC6992HDCB-4#TRMPBF provides full 5–100% range. |
| LTC6992IDCB-4#TRMPBF | Same functionality and pinout, but rated for –40°C to 85°C (I-grade) instead of –40°C to 125°C (H-grade). | Valid for commercial/industrial indoor applications; not qualified for under-hood or high-temp industrial enclosures. | Choose LTC6992IDCB-4#TRMPBF only for cost-sensitive designs operating strictly within 85°C ambient; LTC6992HDCB-4#TRMPBF is mandatory for automotive or extended-temp deployments. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output frequency of the LTC6992HDCB-4#TRMPBF?
The LTC6992HDCB-4#TRMPBF achieves a maximum output frequency of 1MHz when configured with NDIV = 1 and RSET = 50kΩ. This is derived from the formula fOUT = 1MHz × 50kΩ / (NDIV × RSET), and is fully characterized and guaranteed across its –40°C to 125°C operating range per the Rev. D datasheet.
Does the LTC6992HDCB-4#TRMPBF require external clocking or digital configuration?
No, the LTC6992HDCB-4#TRMPBF operates autonomously with no external clock or digital interface. Frequency is set by an external RSET resistor on the SET pin, and NDIV/divider ratio is selected via a resistor divider on the DIV pin - both are analog, resistor-programmed configurations requiring zero firmware or serial communication.
How does the LTC6992HDCB-4#TRMPBF achieve its 5% to 100% duty cycle range?
The LTC6992HDCB-4#TRMPBF implements hard-coded clamping circuitry specific to the "-4" variant: when VMOD falls below 0.1•VSET, duty cycle is held at 5%; when VMOD exceeds 0.9•VSET, duty cycle is held at 100%. This behavior is inherent to the die design and confirmed in the "DEVICE NAME / PWM DUTY CYCLE RANGE" table of the datasheet.
Is the exposed pad on the LTC6992HDCB-4#TRMPBF DFN package electrically connected?
Yes, the exposed pad (Pin 7) on the LTC6992HDCB-4#TRMPBF is internally connected to GND. The datasheet explicitly states "EXPOSED PAD (PIN 7) IS GND" and recommends PCB connection for optimal thermal performance and electrical stability - not optional for production designs.
Can the LTC6992HDCB-4#TRMPBF operate from a 2.25V supply while maintaining full specification?
Yes, the LTC6992HDCB-4#TRMPBF is fully specified down to 2.25V: supply current, frequency accuracy (±1.7%), duty cycle error (±3.7%), and output drive (±20mA) are all guaranteed across 2.25V–5.5V per the "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" table, including conditions marked with the "l" symbol denoting full-temperature-range validation.
