Product details
Overview
LTC7149EFE#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a 60V, 4A synchronous monolithic step-down regulator configured for inverting output applications, delivering –28V to 0V output with ±0.8% voltage accuracy, 92% efficiency at 12VIN/–5VOUT, and peak current mode control. It integrates 110mΩ top/50mΩ bottom N-channel MOSFETs and supports programmable switching frequency (300kHz–3MHz) via external resistor.
For engineers reviewing the LTC7149EFE#TRPBF datasheet, LTC7149EFE#TRPBF pinout, LTC7149EFE#TRPBF application, or LTC7149EFE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its board-ground-referenced I/O pins (RUN, PGOOD, MODE/SYNC), single-resistor VOUT programming (VOUT– = –50µA × RSET), Burst Mode® vs forced continuous mode trade-off, and TSSOP-28 package thermal performance (θJA = 30°C/W).
Technical Context
The LTC7149EFE#TRPBF employs a peak current mode architecture with internal level-shift circuits enabling all logic-level I/O pins (RUN, MODE/SYNC, PGOOD) to reference board GND instead of SVOUT–. Its error amplifier uses ISET as positive input and VOUTSNS as negative input, with transconductance gm = 400–700µS and offset ≤ ±5mV.
Switching is controlled by an oscillator whose frequency is set via RT-to-SVOUT– resistor (200kHz–3MHz), with ±50% sync range for external clock locking. The device implements input voltage regulation (VINREG threshold = 2.0V above VOUT–), overvoltage lockout (64V + |VOUT–|), and undervoltage lockout (2.65V + |VOUT–|) with 200mV hysteresis.

Pinout & Package
Package: 28-Lead Plastic TSSOP (4mm × 5mm footprint, exposed SVOUT– pad on underside requiring PCB soldering for thermal and electrical integrity).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VOUT– (Pins 1–5) | Negative output return | Primary power return path; all output capacitors and load connect here; exposed pad (Pin 29) is electrically identical and must be soldered |
| VIN (Pins 6,7) | Input supply input | Accepts 3.4V–60V; powers internal LDOs and high-side switch; requires local ceramic bypassing |
| RUN (Pin 8) | Enable control input | Logic-high >1.2V enables operation; resistor divider from VIN sets precise UVLO threshold |
| GND (Pin 9) | Board ground sense | Reference for RUN, MODE/SYNC, PGOOD; must connect directly to low-impedance PCB ground plane |
| MODE/SYNC (Pin 10) | Operating mode select / clock sync | GND = Burst Mode; floating = forced continuous; external clock = synchronized CCM |
| PGOOD (Pin 11) | Power-good open-drain output | Pulled low if VPGDFB <0.555V or >0.645V relative to VOUT–; 64-cycle blanking prevents transient glitches |
| PGDFB (Pin 12) | Power-good feedback node | Connect resistor divider from GND to VOUT– to set PGOOD trip thresholds |
| VINREG (Pin 14) | Input voltage regulation sense | Threshold = 2.0V above VOUT–; reduces peak current when VIN droops below programmed level |
| RT (Pin 15) | Oscillator frequency programming | Resistor to SVOUT– sets fSW; 100kΩ yields ~1MHz; sync range ±50% of programmed frequency |
| VOUTSNS (Pin 16) | Error amp inverting input | Typically tied to GND; differential input with ISET sets output voltage regulation point |
| ISET (Pin 17) | 50µA bias current source / soft-start | Current source programs VOUT– = –50µA × RSET; capacitor to VOUT– enables controlled ramp-up |
| ITH (Pin 18) | Error amp output / compensation node | Voltage sets peak inductor current threshold; tie to INTVCC for internal compensation |
| EXTVCC (Pin 19) | External LDO input | Enables 3.1V INTVCC LDO when >3.2V above VOUT–; reduces power loss vs VIN-powered LDO |
| INTVCC (Pin 20) | Internal LDO output | 3.3V (VIN-powered) or 3.1V (EXTVCC-powered) above VOUT–; requires ≥1µF ceramic bypass to VOUT– |
| BOOST (Pin 21) | High-side gate driver supply | Connect 0.1µF bootstrap cap between BOOST and SW; replenished every 8 cycles if needed |
| SW (Pins 22–28) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt square wave; requires short, low-inductance PCB routing |
| SVOUT– (Pins 13,29) | Exposed thermal pad | Electrically identical to VOUT–; mandatory solder connection to PCB copper for θJA = 30°C/W |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Board-ground-referenced I/O | RUN, MODE/SYNC, and PGOOD operate with respect to PCB GND-not SVOUT–-simplifying level-shifting and system integration |
| Single-resistor VOUT programming | VOUT– = –50µA × RSET enables precise negative output setting without trimming or DACs |
| Burst Mode® operation | Reduces quiescent current to 440µA at light loads while maintaining regulated output and minimizing output ripple |
| Programmable soft-start | Capacitor from ISET to VOUT– controls ramp rate (tSS ≈ 2.3 × RSET × CSET) preventing inrush into pre-biased loads |
| Integrated dual MOSFETs | 110mΩ top / 50mΩ bottom N-channel switches eliminate external FETs and reduce BOM count and layout complexity |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar inverting buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC7151SEFE#TRPBF | Higher 8A output current, 40V max input, integrated compensation, no ISET programming (uses resistor divider on VOUTSNS) | Targeted at higher-current applications where 4A is insufficient; lacks single-resistor VOUT simplicity | Select when >4A output or simplified loop compensation is required; not drop-in due to different feedback architecture |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the LTC7149EFE#TRPBF?
The LTC7149EFE#TRPBF supports an absolute maximum input voltage of 64V relative to VOUT–, with recommended operating range up to 60V. This rating enables direct connection to 48V telecom buses and industrial 24V/36V systems with margin for transients. Operation above 60V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
How is the output voltage programmed on the LTC7149EFE#TRPBF?
The LTC7149EFE#TRPBF uses a precision 50µA current source on the ISET pin to program VOUT– = –50µA × RSET, where RSET connects from ISET to VOUT–. This single-resistor method achieves ±0.8% accuracy without trimming. For example, a 100kΩ resistor sets VOUT– = –5.0V. An external capacitor on ISET also provides programmable soft-start.
Does the LTC7149EFE#TRPBF support synchronization to an external clock?
Yes, the LTC7149EFE#TRPBF supports external clock synchronization via the MODE/SYNC pin. When driven by an external signal, the internal oscillator locks to frequencies within ±50% of the RT-programmed frequency. For reliable lock, the external clock must fall within this window-e.g., if RT sets 1MHz, sync range is 500kHz–1.5MHz.
What thermal considerations apply to the LTC7149EFE#TRPBF in TSSOP package?
The LTC7149EFE#TRPBF in 28-lead TSSOP has θJA = 30°C/W and requires soldering of the exposed SVOUT– pad (Pin 29) to a PCB copper plane for rated thermal performance. Without proper pad connection, junction temperature rise increases significantly. Thermal shutdown activates at TJ = 125°C, but continuous operation above this degrades reliability.
Can the LTC7149EFE#TRPBF operate with a pre-biased output?
Yes, the LTC7149EFE#TRPBF safely starts into a pre-biased VOUT– by remaining in Burst Mode until the ISET voltage ramps up to match VOUTSNS. During this phase, both power switches stay off, preventing reverse current flow. Once VISET = VOUTSNS, normal switching begins and VOUT– decreases at the programmed rate, avoiding output overshoot or latch-up.
