Product details
Overview
LTC6992IDCB-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, 3.81Hz–1MHz output frequency (set via RSET and NDIV = 1–16384), ±1.7% max frequency error, and operates from 2.25V–5.5V supply. It is used in LED dimming, heater control, and servo loops where stable, low-drift PWM generation is required.
For engineers reviewing the LTC6992IDCB-4#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC6992IDCB-4#TRMPBF pinout, LTC6992IDCB-4#TRMPBF application, or LTC6992IDCB-4#TRMPBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package-specific pin functions, real-world application cards, and validated alternative parts with documented functional differences - all grounded in Analog Devices' Rev. D datasheet and official ordering information.
Technical Context
The LTC6992IDCB-4#TRMPBF implements a master oscillator (fMASTER = 1 MHz × 50 kΩ / RSET) followed by an 8-step programmable divider (NDIV = 1, 4, 16, ..., 16384), enabling precise frequency scaling. Its analog MOD pin accepts 0.1×VSET to 0.9×VSET (≈100 mV–900 mV) to linearly set duty cycle within the 5%–100% range defined for the -4 variant.
Internal regulation holds VSET at 1.00 V ±30 mV, decoupling frequency accuracy from supply variation; frequency drift is ±0.005 %/°C over temperature and ≤0.65 %/V over supply. The device features CMOS output capable of sourcing/sinking 20 mA, with 500 µs startup time and 115 µA typical supply current at 100 kHz.

Applications
| LED Dimming Control | Heater Control |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Precise brightness adjustment of high-brightness LEDs in architectural lighting or automotive interior modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Generates stable, low-jitter PWM signal with 5%–100% duty cycle to drive LED current sinks or MOSFETs. Use Value: Eliminates flicker and color shift via ±3.7% max duty cycle error and <0.15% RMS jitter at NDIV = 16 - critical for human-centric lighting. |
Use Scenario: Closed-loop thermal regulation of resistive heating elements in industrial ovens or medical devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Converts analog temperature error signal (e.g., from op-amp comparator) into proportional PWM drive. Use Value: Enables smooth, noise-immune power delivery with 500 µs startup and ±0.005 %/°C frequency stability - avoids thermal overshoot. |
| PWM Servo Loops | High-Vibration Environments |
|
Use Scenario: Position control of RC-style servos or piezoelectric actuators in robotics and test equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides repeatable 1–2 ms pulse width (via NDIV and RSET) synchronized to external control voltage on MOD pin. Use Value: Delivers <1.2% peak-to-peak period jitter at NDIV = 1 - ensures sub-millisecond timing accuracy for position feedback stability. |
Use Scenario: Power switching in aerospace avionics or transportation systems subject to shock and wide temperature swings. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Generates robust PWM timing immune to supply ripple and EMI due to internal VSET regulation and low sensitivity to V+ drift. Use Value: Maintains ±1.7% frequency accuracy across –40°C to +85°C and 2.25–5.5 V supply - reduces need for recalibration in field-deployed units. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage-controlled PWM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC6992IDCB-2#TRMPBF | 5%–95% duty cycle range; identical pinout, frequency specs, and package. | Cannot achieve 100% duty cycle - unsuitable for applications requiring full-on conduction (e.g., heater hold mode). | Select only if strict 5%–95% clamping is preferred to avoid accidental saturation in feedback loops. |
| LTC6992IDCB-3#TRMPBF | 0%–95% duty cycle range; same RSET/DIV/MOD interface and electrical specs. | Supports 0% (off) state but caps at 95% - appropriate for systems needing shutdown capability but not full-on drive. | Choose when system safety requires guaranteed OFF state, and 100% duty cycle is unnecessary. |
Compared with LTC6992IDCB-4#TRMPBF, the -2 variant trades 100% duty cycle for tighter 5%–95% symmetry, while the -3 variant adds 0% capability but sacrifices the upper 5% - making the -4 uniquely suited for applications demanding both minimum bias and full conduction without external logic.

FAQ
What is the duty cycle range of the LTC6992IDCB-4#TRMPBF?
The LTC6992IDCB-4#TRMPBF has a guaranteed duty cycle range of 5% to 100%, meaning it can produce output pulses from minimum 5% ON-time up to continuous 100% conduction. This distinguishes it from other variants like the -2 (5%–95%) or -1 (0%–100%), and makes LTC6992IDCB-4#TRMPBF ideal for applications requiring both safe minimum bias and full-power operation without external circuitry.
How is the output frequency set on the LTC6992IDCB-4#TRMPBF?
The output frequency of LTC6992IDCB-4#TRMPBF is set using two elements: a resistor RSET (50 kΩ to 800 kΩ) connected between the SET pin and GND to define the master oscillator frequency, and the DIV pin voltage which selects one of eight divider ratios (NDIV = 1, 4, 16, ..., 16384). The final fOUT = 1 MHz × 50 kΩ / (NDIV × RSET), with ±1.7% max error over temperature and supply.
What package type does the LTC6992IDCB-4#TRMPBF use?
The LTC6992IDCB-4#TRMPBF uses a 6-lead, 2 mm × 3 mm plastic DFN package (DCB), with 1 mm profile and exposed thermal pad (pin 7, internally connected to GND). This compact, surface-mount package supports high-density PCB layouts and offers excellent thermal performance for industrial ambient conditions.
Does the LTC6992IDCB-4#TRMPBF require external components to operate?
Yes - LTC6992IDCB-4#TRMPBF requires at minimum: (1) a 0.1 µF bypass capacitor between V+ and GND, (2) RSET (50 kΩ–800 kΩ) from SET to GND to set frequency, and (3) a resistor divider on the DIV pin to select NDIV. The MOD pin accepts a clean analog voltage (100–900 mV); no additional active components are needed for basic PWM generation.
Is the LTC6992IDCB-4#TRMPBF suitable for automotive applications?
The LTC6992IDCB-4#TRMPBF is rated for –40°C to +85°C operation (I-grade) and is not AEC-Q100 qualified. For automotive under-hood or safety-critical use, Analog Devices offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., LTC6992IS6-4#WTRMPBF) with controlled manufacturing and qualification reports - LTC6992IDCB-4#TRMPBF itself is intended for industrial and commercial systems.
