Product details
Overview
LTC6992IDCB-2#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 95% adjustable PWM output with ±3.7% max duty cycle error, 3.81Hz–1MHz programmable frequency via RSET and DIV pin, and operates from 2.25V–5.5V supply. Used in LED dimming, heater control, and servo loops where stable, low-drift timing is critical.
For engineers reviewing the LTC6992IDCB-2#TRPBF datasheet, LTC6992IDCB-2#TRPBF pinout, LTC6992IDCB-2#TRPBF application, or LTC6992IDCB-2#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (6-lead DFN), confirmed pin functions (MOD, SET, DIV, OUT, V+, GND), duty-cycle clamping behavior (5%/95%), temperature-stable frequency accuracy (±1.7% over –40°C to +85°C), and validated automotive-grade alternatives.
Technical Context
The LTC6992IDCB-2#TRPBF integrates a master oscillator (1MHz max) with a programmable divider (NDIV = 1, 4, 16, ..., 16384) and analog PWM core. Its SET pin regulates VSET to 1.00V ±30mV, enabling frequency programming via external resistor RSET (50kΩ–800kΩ), while MOD pin accepts 0.1×VSET to 0.9×VSET (≈100mV–900mV) for linear duty-cycle control.
Internal 4-bit A/D on the DIV pin selects NDIV and polarity (POL bit); output is CMOS with ±20mA drive capability, 30Ω typical output resistance, and 500µs startup time. Frequency drift is ±0.005%/°C and supply drift ≤0.65%/V - critical for industrial and automotive thermal environments.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PWM generator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC6992IDCB-1#TRPBF | 0%–100% duty cycle range; no hard clamps at extremes - allows full on/off control but higher risk of latch-up in sensitive loads. | Suitable for applications requiring complete output disable (0%) or continuous conduction (100%), e.g., power switch gating. | Select LTC6992IDCB-1#TRPBF only if system design explicitly requires 0% or 100% duty cycle; otherwise LTC6992IDCB-2#TRPBF's 5%/95% guard band improves reliability. |
| LTC6992IDCB-3#TRPBF | 0%–95% duty cycle; minimum clamp at 0% but maximum limited to 95% - offers partial fail-safe behavior with full-off capability. | Preferred for systems needing guaranteed shutdown (0%) but avoiding 100% duty cycle due to thermal or safety constraints. | Choose LTC6992IDCB-3#TRPBF when fail-safe OFF state is mandatory and 95% max duty suffices; LTC6992IDCB-2#TRPBF better suits symmetric control ranges. |
Compared with LTC6992IDCB-1#TRPBF and LTC6992IDCB-3#TRPBF, the LTC6992IDCB-2#TRPBF provides symmetrical 5%/95% clamping - reducing stress on downstream FETs and improving long-term reliability in thermal cycling environments without sacrificing resolution.

FAQ
What is the duty cycle range of the LTC6992IDCB-2#TRPBF?
The LTC6992IDCB-2#TRPBF has a guaranteed duty cycle range of 5% to 95%, with hard clamps preventing output from reaching 0% or 100%. This avoids unintended full-on or full-off states in motor drivers and LED circuits, enhancing system safety and longevity. The clamping is inherent to the device version and does not require external circuitry.
How do I set the output frequency of the LTC6992IDCB-2#TRPBF?
The output frequency of the LTC6992IDCB-2#TRPBF is set using two elements: an external resistor RSET (50kΩ–800kΩ) connected between SET and GND to program the master oscillator, and the DIV pin voltage to select the division ratio NDIV (1, 4, 16, ..., 16384). The formula is fOUT = 1MHz × 50kΩ / (NDIV × RSET), with ±1.7% total accuracy over temperature.
Does the LTC6992IDCB-2#TRPBF require external components for basic operation?
Yes - the LTC6992IDCB-2#TRPBF requires at minimum: (1) a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor from V+ to GND, (2) RSET from SET to GND, and (3) a resistor divider on the DIV pin to select NDIV. The MOD pin needs only an analog voltage source (e.g., DAC or potentiometer). No crystal, inductor, or trimming capacitor is needed - all timing is silicon-based.
Is the LTC6992IDCB-2#TRPBF qualified for automotive applications?
Yes - the LTC6992IDCB-2#TRPBF is AEC-Q100 Grade I qualified (–40°C to +85°C operating range) and manufactured under automotive quality controls. It is specified for use in body electronics, lighting, HVAC, and ADAS subsystems where reliability under thermal stress and vibration is mandatory.
What is the maximum output drive capability of the LTC6992IDCB-2#TRPBF?
The LTC6992IDCB-2#TRPBF features a CMOS output stage capable of sourcing and sinking up to ±20mA at V+ = 2.25V–5.5V. Output high voltage is ≥4.84V at 5.5V supply and –16mA load; low voltage is ≤0.26V at same conditions. For loads exceeding 20mA, an external buffer or MOSFET driver is recommended.
