Product details
Overview
LTC6992MPS6-2#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% programmable duty cycle range, operates from 2.25V to 5.5V supply, achieves ±1.7% max frequency error over –55°C to 125°C, and supports output frequencies from 3.81Hz to 1MHz via RSET and DIV pin configuration. It is used in LED dimming systems requiring stable, low-drift PWM under wide temperature extremes.
For engineers reviewing the LTC6992MPS6-2#TRPBF datasheet, LTC6992MPS6-2#TRPBF pinout, LTC6992MPS6-2#TRPBF application, or LTC6992MPS6-2#TRPBF equivalent, this device offers verified automotive-grade operation (–55°C to 125°C), CMOS output capable of ±20mA drive, <3.7% PWM duty cycle error, and resistor-based frequency/duty programming without external clock sources.
Technical Context
The LTC6992MPS6-2#TRPBF implements a master oscillator with fixed 1MHz reference scaled by ISET current, where ISET = VSET/RSET and VSET is internally regulated to 1.00V ±30mV. Its 4-bit A/D converter on the DIV pin selects NDIV values (1, 4, 16, ..., 16384) and polarity inversion mode (POL).
Duty cycle is linearly controlled by VMOD input between 0.1•VSET and 0.9•VSET (≈100mV–900mV), clamped at 5% min / 95% max per its -2 variant designation. Output settling occurs within 8•tMASTER after MOD voltage step, with typical start-up time of 500µs.
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 timing or high-speed PWM control |
| Duty Cycle Range | 5% to 95% - hard-clamped limits prevent 0% or 100% saturation; ensures reliable switching in motor/LED drivers |
| Frequency Accuracy | ±1.7% max over full temp - guaranteed over –55°C to 125°C; eliminates need for calibration in harsh environments |
| Supply Voltage | 2.25V to 5.5V - single-supply operation compatible with Li-ion, 3.3V, and 5V systems without level-shifting |
| Output Drive | ±20mA CMOS - directly drives logic inputs, small MOSFET gates, or LEDs with series resistor; no external buffer needed |
| Operating Temp | –55°C to 125°C - MP-grade qualification meets AEC-Q100 requirements for under-hood automotive use |
| Supply Current | 105µA to 450µA - scales with NDIV and RSET; enables battery-powered applications with multi-year runtime |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC6992IS6-2#TRPBF | Same architecture and pinout; rated for –40°C to 85°C (not –55°C to 125°C) | Not qualified for extended automotive or military-grade thermal environments | Select when operating temperature stays above –40°C and AEC-Q100 MP-grade is unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the minimum and maximum duty cycle supported by the LTC6992MPS6-2#TRPBF?
The LTC6992MPS6-2#TRPBF is the -2 variant of the TimerBlox family and supports a hard-clamped duty cycle range of 5% to 95%. This means the output will not drop below 5% or exceed 95%, regardless of MOD pin voltage beyond the linear range (0.1•VSET to 0.9•VSET). This behavior prevents unintended full-on or full-off states in safety-critical drive circuits.
How do I set the output frequency of the LTC6992MPS6-2#TRPBF?
The output frequency of the LTC6992MPS6-2#TRPBF is set using two elements: an external resistor RSET connected between the SET pin and GND, and the voltage applied to the DIV pin. RSET determines the master oscillator frequency (fMASTER = 1MHz × 50kΩ / RSET), while the DIV pin voltage selects the division ratio NDIV (1, 4, 16, ..., 16384). Final fOUT = fMASTER / NDIV.
Does the LTC6992MPS6-2#TRPBF require a microcontroller to operate?
No, the LTC6992MPS6-2#TRPBF operates autonomously without firmware or digital control. It uses analog inputs (MOD for duty cycle, DIV for frequency division, and RSET for base frequency) and requires only passive components: one resistor for frequency setting and optionally two resistors for DIV programming. This makes the LTC6992MPS6-2#TRPBF ideal for standalone, low-complexity timing functions.
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC6992MPS6-2#TRPBF?
The LTC6992MPS6-2#TRPBF is an MP-grade part specified for operation from –55°C to 125°C. This extended range, combined with AEC-Q100 qualification, confirms its suitability for under-hood automotive, downhole oil/gas, and military applications where extreme thermal resilience is mandatory.
Can the LTC6992MPS6-2#TRPBF drive an LED directly?
The LTC6992MPS6-2#TRPBF OUT pin provides ±20mA CMOS drive strength and rail-to-rail swing (GND to V+), but direct LED connection is not recommended without current limiting. To drive an LED safely, place a series resistor between OUT and the LED anode (for high-side) or cathode (for low-side) to limit peak current to ≤20mA. For higher-current loads, use the LTC6992MPS6-2#TRPBF to control an external MOSFET.
