Product details
Overview
LTC6992HDCB-4#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 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 - used in automotive LED dimming and heater control loops.
For engineers reviewing the LTC6992HDCB-4#TRPBF datasheet, LTC6992HDCB-4#TRPBF pinout, LTC6992HDCB-4#TRPBF application, or LTC6992HDCB-4#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (6-lead DFN), confirmed MOD/SET/DIV pin functions, temperature-grade validation (–40°C to 125°C H-grade), and real-world design constraints including 50kΩ–800kΩ RSET range and 0.1V–0.9V linear VMOD input window.
Technical Context
The LTC6992HDCB-4#TRPBF implements a master oscillator with fixed 1MHz reference scaled by ISET (set via RSET), followed by an 8-step programmable divider (NDIV = 1, 4, 16, ..., 16384) controlled by a 4-bit A/D converter on the DIV pin. Its PWM generation uses a voltage-limited linear transfer function where duty cycle = (VMOD(LIM) – 0.1·VSET)/0.8·VSET, with clamping at 5% min / 100% max per version -4 specification.
It integrates internal VSET regulation (1.00V ±30mV), low-drift current sourcing (±75µV/°C VSET drift), and CMOS output capable of ±20mA drive. The device includes power-on reset, 500µs startup time, and long-term stability of 90ppm/√kHr - all qualified per AEC-Q100 for automotive environments.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage-controlled PWM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TI TLC555IP | Timer-based solution requiring external R/C network; no integrated VSET regulation or NDIV divider; ±5% duty cycle accuracy; not AEC-Q100 qualified | General-purpose timing only; unsuitable for automotive or precision closed-loop control | Select only for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where ±5% duty cycle error and manual calibration are acceptable |

FAQ
What is the exact duty cycle range supported by the LTC6992HDCB-4#TRPBF?
The LTC6992HDCB-4#TRPBF supports a guaranteed 5% to 100% duty cycle range. This is defined by its version -4 designation: minimum duty cycle clamps at 5% when VMOD ≤ 0.1·VSET, and maximum reaches 100% when VMOD ≥ 0.9·VSET. The LTC6992HDCB-4#TRPBF does not support 0% or sub-5% conduction - ensuring safe minimum power delivery in heater and LED applications.
How do I configure the output frequency of the LTC6992HDCB-4#TRPBF?
Configure the LTC6992HDCB-4#TRPBF output frequency using two elements: (1) RSET resistor from SET pin to GND sets the master oscillator frequency (fMASTER = 1MHz × 50kΩ / RSET), and (2) a resistor divider on the DIV pin selects NDIV (1, 4, 16, ..., 16384), yielding fOUT = fMASTER / NDIV. For example, RSET = 200kΩ and DIVCODE = 4 (NDIV = 16) gives fOUT = 312.5Hz. The LTC6992HDCB-4#TRPBF requires no external clock or programming interface.
Is the LTC6992HDCB-4#TRPBF qualified for automotive use?
Yes, the LTC6992HDCB-4#TRPBF is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications. Its H-grade rating guarantees full electrical performance from –40°C to 125°C ambient, includes enhanced ESD protection, and undergoes stress testing per automotive reliability standards. It is explicitly listed in Analog Devices' automotive product portfolio and approved for under-hood use in lighting, HVAC, and body control modules.
What is the purpose of the SET pin on the LTC6992HDCB-4#TRPBF?
The SET pin on the LTC6992HDCB-4#TRPBF is a regulated voltage node held at 1.00V ±30mV. Connecting RSET between SET and GND establishes ISET = VSET/RSET, which directly programs the master oscillator frequency. Because VSET is internally regulated, frequency accuracy depends primarily on RSET tolerance and the LTC6992HDCB-4#TRPBF's inherent ±1.7% frequency error - not on supply voltage or temperature drift of the resistor.
Can the LTC6992HDCB-4#TRPBF operate from a 2.25V supply?
Yes, the LTC6992HDCB-4#TRPBF is fully specified to operate from 2.25V to 5.5V. At 2.25V, it delivers full functionality including 5%–100% duty cycle control, 3.81Hz–1MHz frequency range (with appropriate RSET/NDIV), and ±20mA output drive. Supply current drops to 105µA (typical) at V+ = 2.25V and NDIV ≥ 16 - making the LTC6992HDCB-4#TRPBF ideal for single-cell battery systems.
