Product details
Overview
LTC7138MPMSE#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a high-efficiency, 140V-input, 400mA step-down DC/DC regulator with integrated P-channel MOSFET, 12µA quiescent current in Burst Mode®, programmable peak current limit (140–610mA), and 0.8V ±1% feedback reference. It operates across –55°C to 150°C and supports adjustable or fixed 1.8V/3.3V/5V outputs for harsh-environment power conversion.
For engineers reviewing the LTC7138MPMSE#TRPBF datasheet, LTC7138MPMSE#TRPBF pinout, LTC7138MPMSE#TRPBF application, or LTC7138MPMSE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include input overvoltage lockout configuration, ISET resistor programming for load-current optimization, RUN pin undervoltage threshold setting, and parallel operation via FBO for >400mA output.
Technical Context
The LTC7138MPMSE#TRPBF employs Burst Mode® control with hysteretic feedback, enabling ultra-low 12µA no-load supply current while maintaining regulation. Its internal P-channel MOSFET supports 100% duty cycle dropout operation and delivers up to 400mA average output current with peak current programmable via ISET pin (140–610mA typical).
It integrates precision RUN and OVLO comparators (1.21V rising threshold, 110mV hysteresis), soft-start control (1ms internal or capacitor-programmable), and feedback comparator output (FBO) for master-slave parallel operation. The device uses valley-current sensing and 0.8V reference tracking to ensure stable light-load regulation without external compensation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 140V - enables direct regulation from industrial 48V, 96V, or 125V DC bus, PoE++ injectors, and automotive 12V/24V/48V systems with transient margin. |
| Max Output Current | 400mA average - determined by 75% of programmed peak current (e.g., 540mA peak → 405mA avg); scalable via FBO-parallel connection. |
| Quiescent Current | 12µA in Burst Mode® - sustains regulated output at microamp-level loads (e.g., sensor bias, keep-alive circuits) without battery drain. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.800V ±1% - sets precise output voltage via external divider; fixed outputs (1.8V/3.3V/5V) selected by VPRG1/VPRG2 pin strapping. |
| Peak Current Limit | Programmable 140–610mA via ISET resistor - allows optimization of inductor size, output ripple, and efficiency across 100–400mA load range. |
| Operating Temp Range | –55°C to +150°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade MP; suitable for under-hood automotive, downhole tools, and military avionics. |
| Package Thermal Resistance | θJA = 40°C/W, θJC = 10°C/W - exposed pad (Pin 17) must be soldered to PCB ground plane for rated thermal performance. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead plastic MSOP (MSE16 variant with four missing pins), thermally enhanced high-voltage package; exposed pad (Pin 17) is GND and must be soldered to PCB ground plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (1) | Switch node | Drain of internal P-channel MOSFET; connects to inductor and catch diode cathode; carries full switching current and voltage stress up to 140V. |
| VIN (3) | Main input supply | Accepts 4V–140V DC; requires local 1µF/250V ceramic bypass capacitor to GND for EMI suppression and transient immunity. |
| FBO (5) | Feedback comparator output | Open-drain output (70Ω pull-down, 20µA pull-up) used to synchronize multiple LTC7138s in parallel for higher current. |
| VPRG1 / VPRG2 (6,7) | Output voltage selection | Strap pins to GND or SS to select fixed 1.8V/3.3V/5V or enable adjustable mode; eliminates external feedback resistors for standard outputs. |
| GND (8,17) | Ground reference | Pins 8 and 17 (exposed pad) are common GND; exposed pad is mandatory for thermal and electrical performance. |
| VFB (9) | Feedback input | Compares divided output voltage against 0.8V reference; directly tied to output for fixed-VOUT modes; connects to divider for adjustable mode. |
| SS (10) | Soft-start control | Capacitor-to-GND sets ramp time (1ms per 6.25nF); internal 1ms default ensures controlled start-up and prevents input droop. |
| ISET (11) | Peak current programming | 5µA current source to GND sets peak current threshold (140–610mA); resistor value determines max output current and ripple trade-off. |
| OVLO (12) | Overvoltage lockout input | Resistor divider from VIN sets disable threshold (1.21V rising); triggers soft-start reset on transients for graceful recovery. |
| RUN (14) | Enable/undervoltage control | 1.21V rising threshold enables operation; 110mV hysteresis prevents chatter; can configure UVLO or remote ON/OFF control. |
| ANODE (16) | Catch diode anode sense | Connects to cathode of external Schottky diode; internal sense resistor enables valley-current detection and short-circuit protection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Burst Mode® operation | Reduces no-load IQ to 12µA while maintaining regulation-critical for battery-backed or energy-harvesting systems. |
| Programmable peak current limit | Adjusts max output current from 100mA to 400mA via single ISET resistor-optimizes inductor size, efficiency, and ripple without redesign. |
| Fixed-output voltage strapping | VPRG1/VPRG2 pins select 1.8V/3.3V/5V without external resistors-reduces BOM count and improves noise immunity vs. feedback divider. |
| Parallel operation support | FBO pin enables master-slave synchronization of multiple LTC7138s-scales output current linearly (e.g., two devices → 800mA) with shared soft-start. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade MP qualification | Rated for –55°C to +150°C junction temperature-validated for automotive under-hood, industrial motor drives, and aerospace power supplies. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-input-voltage step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3649EMSE#TRPBF | Higher 150V max input, 2A output, but 250µA IQ and no Burst Mode®; requires external MOSFET. | Used where >400mA is required and higher quiescent current is acceptable; not suitable for ultra-low-power keep-alive functions. | Select when output current >400mA is mandatory and thermal headroom permits higher IQ; avoid for battery-critical systems. |
| MAX5033BASA+T | 100V max input, 250mA output, 100µA IQ, fixed 5V/3.3V only; no ISET or FBO; SO-8 package. | Targeted at cost-sensitive, lower-current industrial supplies; lacks programmability and parallel capability. | Choose for simple, low-cost 5V/3.3V conversion below 250mA; unsuitable for 140V inputs or adjustable outputs. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC7138MPMSE#TRPBF?
The LTC7138MPMSE#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 140V and a specified operating input range of 4V to 140V. This allows direct regulation from high-voltage sources such as industrial 48V/96V buses, PoE++ injectors, and automotive 48V systems without external pre-regulation. Exceeding 140V may cause permanent damage.
How does the ISET pin on the LTC7138MPMSE#TRPBF affect output current capability?
The ISET pin on the LTC7138MPMSE#TRPBF programs the peak inductor current threshold from 140mA to 610mA using a resistor to GND. Since maximum average output current is ~75% of peak current, this directly sets the usable load range: open ISET yields ~400mA, shorting to GND reduces it to ~100mA. This enables optimization of efficiency, ripple, and component size per application.
Can the LTC7138MPMSE#TRPBF operate in 100% duty cycle dropout mode?
Yes, the LTC7138MPMSE#TRPBF supports 100% duty cycle operation due to its internal P-channel MOSFET high-side switch. When input voltage approaches the output voltage, the controller maintains regulation by holding the switch continuously on-enabling stable output during cold-crank events in automotive 12V systems or brownout conditions in industrial 24V/48V supplies.
What is the purpose of the FBO pin on the LTC7138MPMSE#TRPBF?
The FBO (Feedback Comparator Output) pin on the LTC7138MPMSE#TRPBF is an open-drain output used to connect multiple LTC7138MPMSE#TRPBF devices in master-slave parallel configuration. By tying the FBO of a master unit to the VFB pins of slave units, all regulators synchronize switching and share load current proportionally-scaling total output to 400mA × N devices with matched soft-start and regulation.
Is the LTC7138MPMSE#TRPBF qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the LTC7138MPMSE#TRPBF is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications under Grade MP, with guaranteed operation from –55°C to +150°C junction temperature. It includes precise RUN and OVLO thresholds, thermal shutdown at ~180°C, and robust input protection-making it suitable for under-hood engine control, ADAS camera power, and battery management systems.
