Product details
Overview
LTC6992HS6-3#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 0% to 95% duty cycle range, programmable output frequency from 3.81 Hz to 1 MHz via RSET and DIV pin configuration, and operates from 2.25 V to 5.5 V supply. Used in LED dimming, heater control, and servo loops where stable, low-drift PWM generation is required in harsh environments.
For engineers reviewing the LTC6992HS6-3#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC6992HS6-3#TRMPBF pinout, LTC6992HS6-3#TRMPBF application, or LTC6992HS6-3#TRMPBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world application mappings, and confirmed automotive-grade alternatives - all specific to the –40°C to 125°C SOT-23 variant with 0%–95% duty cycle limit.
Technical Context
The LTC6992HS6-3#TRMPBF integrates a master oscillator (1 MHz max) whose frequency is set by ISET = VSET/RSET, where VSET is internally regulated to 1.00 V ±30 mV. Output frequency fOUT = 1 MHz × 50 kΩ / (NDIV × RSET), with NDIV selectable across eight values (1, 4, 16, ..., 16384) via a resistor divider on the DIV pin.
Duty cycle is linearly controlled by VMOD between 0.1×VSET and 0.9×VSET (≈100 mV–900 mV), with clamping at 0% or 95% extremes per its -3 variant specification. It features internal digital filtering, power-on reset, and polarity inversion capability via the MSB of DIVCODE.

FAQ
What is the duty cycle range of the LTC6992HS6-3#TRMPBF?
The LTC6992HS6-3#TRMPBF has a specified duty cycle range of 0% to 95%. This means it can generate output pulses from fully off (0% duty) up to 95% conduction, with clamping at both limits. Unlike the -1 version, it does not reach 100%, and unlike the -2/-4 versions, it supports true 0% - making it ideal for applications requiring guaranteed off-state while limiting maximum conduction for thermal safety. The LTC6992HS6-3#TRMPBF achieves this behavior through internal analog limiting circuitry tied to its MOD pin voltage thresholds.
How is the output frequency programmed on the LTC6992HS6-3#TRMPBF?
The LTC6992HS6-3#TRMPBF output frequency is set using two elements: an external resistor RSET connected between SET and GND, and a resistor divider on the DIV pin. RSET determines the master oscillator frequency (fMASTER = 1 MHz × 50 kΩ / RSET), while the DIV pin voltage selects NDIV (1, 4, 16, ..., 16384) via an internal 4-bit A/D converter. Final fOUT = fMASTER / NDIV. For example, with RSET = 200 kΩ and DIVCODE = 4 (NDIV = 16), fOUT = 1 MHz × 50 kΩ / (200 kΩ × 16) = 15.625 kHz. The LTC6992HS6-3#TRMPBF requires no external capacitors or crystals.
Does the LTC6992HS6-3#TRMPBF require a microcontroller to operate?
No, the LTC6992HS6-3#TRMPBF is a self-contained analog PWM generator requiring no firmware, clock source, or digital interface. It operates with only three passive components: RSET (frequency), a two-resistor divider on DIV (division ratio), and a voltage source on MOD (duty cycle). Its internal 1 V regulator, oscillator, divider, and PWM modulator eliminate MCU dependency - ideal for cost-sensitive or safety-critical systems where software failure must be avoided. The LTC6992HS6-3#TRMPBF delivers deterministic, jitter-controlled timing independent of host processor load or code execution.
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC6992HS6-3#TRMPBF?
The LTC6992HS6-3#TRMPBF is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C and is qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade H standards. This makes it suitable for under-hood automotive applications, industrial motor drives, and outdoor equipment exposed to extreme thermal cycling. All key specifications - including frequency accuracy (±1.7%), duty cycle error (<3.7%), and supply current - are guaranteed across this full range. The LTC6992HS6-3#TRMPBF uses silicon oscillator technology with low temperature drift (±0.005%/°C), ensuring stable performance without external compensation.
Can the LTC6992HS6-3#TRMPBF drive an LED directly?
Yes, the LTC6992HS6-3#TRMPBF can drive an LED directly when used with a series current-limiting resistor. Its CMOS output delivers ±20 mA at rail-to-rail swing (GND to V+) and has ~30 Ω output impedance. For example, with V+ = 3.3 V and a red LED (VF ≈ 1.8 V), a 75 Ω resistor limits peak current to ~20 mA. However, for high-current or high-efficiency LED arrays, an external MOSFET or driver is recommended. The LTC6992HS6-3#TRMPBF's 0%–95% duty cycle and low 115 µA quiescent current at 100 kHz make it especially effective for efficient, thermally safe LED dimming.
