Product details
Overview
LTC7149EUFD#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 industrial telecom power supplies requiring negative rail generation from wide-input sources.
For engineers reviewing the LTC7149EUFD#TRPBF datasheet, LTC7149EUFD#TRPBF pinout, LTC7149EUFD#TRPBF application, or LTC7149EUFD#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its single-resistor VOUT programming, board-ground-referenced I/O (RUN, PGOOD, MODE/SYNC), programmable 300kHz–3MHz switching frequency, Burst Mode™ vs forced continuous mode trade-off, and thermal performance in the 4mm × 5mm QFN package with exposed SVOUT– pad.
Technical Context
The LTC7149EUFD#TRPBF employs peak current mode architecture with inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting and fast transient response. Its error amplifier compares VOUTSNS (typically tied to GND) against the ISET pin's 50µA reference to regulate output voltage via VOUT– = –50µA × RSET.
It features dual LDOs (VIN- and EXTVCC-powered) regulating INTVCC to 3.3V or 3.1V above VOUT–, level-shifted I/O pins referenced to board GND, and internal BOOST capacitor refresh logic that forces bottom-FET conduction every ~8 cycles to sustain gate drive during high-duty operation.
Key Specifications

| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±0.8% - ensures stable reference compliance for precision analog circuitry |
| Quiescent Current | 440µA (Burst Mode), 15µA (shutdown) - extends battery life in always-on monitoring systems |
| Package | 28-Lead 4mm × 5mm QFN with exposed SVOUT– pad - provides low θJA = 43°C/W for thermally constrained PCBs |
Pinout & Package
28-Lead (4mm × 5mm) Plastic QFN with exposed pad (Pin 29) electrically and thermally connected to SVOUT–. Must be soldered to PCB copper plane for rated thermal performance and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VOUT– (Pins 1,2,26–28) | Negative output terminal | Primary return path for load current; ties directly to output capacitor negative and system ground reference for negative rail |
| VIN (Pins 3,4) | Positive input supply | Accepts 3.4V–60V input; powers internal regulators and high-side switch driver |
| RUN (Pin 5) | Enable control input | Logic-high threshold 1.2V rising; used with resistor divider to set precise VIN undervoltage lockout |
| GND (Pin 6) | Board ground sense | Reference point for RUN, MODE/SYNC, and PGOOD; must connect to clean PCB ground plane |
| MODE/SYNC (Pin 7) | Operating mode select / clock sync | Tie to GND for Burst Mode™ (high light-load efficiency); float for forced continuous mode (low ripple); accept external clock for synchronization |
| PGOOD (Pin 8) | Power-good open-drain output | Pulled low when VPGDFB < 0.555V or > 0.645V relative to VOUT–; 64-cycle blanking prevents transient glitches |
| PGDFB (Pin 9) | Power-good feedback node | Connect resistor divider from GND to VOUT– to set PGOOD trip thresholds; defines ±7.5% regulation window |
| VINREG (Pin 11) | Input voltage regulation sense | Monitor VIN droop; if voltage falls below 2V above VOUT–, reduces peak current to limit input draw |
| RT (Pin 12) | Oscillator frequency programming | Resistor to SVOUT– sets fSW = 1011/RT; 100kΩ yields ~1MHz; sync range ±50% of programmed value |
| ISET (Pin 14) | Output voltage programming / soft-start | 50µA sink; VOUT– = –50µA × RSET; add capacitor to VOUT– for controlled ramp-up (tSS ≈ 2.3 × RSET × CSET) |
| ITH (Pin 15) | Error amplifier output / compensation | Internal compensation enabled by tying to INTVCC; external components optimize loop response for minimal output capacitance |
| EXTVCC (Pin 16) | External INTVCC supply input | Bypass to VOUT– with ≥1µF; activates secondary LDO when >3.2V above VOUT– and VIN >5V above VOUT–, reducing power loss |
| INTVCC (Pin 17) | Internal LDO output | 3.3V or 3.1V above VOUT–; requires ≥2.2µF ceramic bypass to VOUT– for gate driver transient current |
| BOOST (Pin 18) | High-side gate driver supply | Connect 0.1µF bootstrap capacitor between BOOST and SW; sustains top-FET drive during duty cycles >90% |
| SW (Pins 19–25) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt square wave; requires low-inductance layout and Kelvin connection for current sensing |
| SVOUT– (Pins 10,29) | Exposed pad / thermal & electrical return | Must be soldered to PCB copper; serves as primary thermal path and low-impedance return for VOUT– and internal circuits |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC7151SUFD#TRPBF | Higher 80V input rating, 5A output, ±0.5% accuracy, but larger 32-lead 5mm × 6mm QFN package | Supports higher input surges (e.g., 48V telecom transients) and greater output current; less suitable for space-constrained designs | Select when input voltage exceeds 60V or output current >4A is required; verify PCB layout accommodates larger thermal pad |
| TPS63710DRRR | 3.5V–20V input, –12V max output, 2A, integrated compensation, but no Burst Mode™ or external frequency programming | Lower cost and simpler layout for fixed-output, low-current applications; lacks programmability and wide-VIN capability | Choose for cost-sensitive, low-power embedded systems where 60V input and 4A output are unnecessary |
Compared with LTC7149EUFD#TRPBF, LTC7151SUFD#TRPBF offers higher voltage/current headroom at the expense of size and cost, while TPS63710DRRR trades flexibility for integration and simplicity in lower-performance applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the LTC7149EUFD#TRPBF?
The LTC7149EUFD#TRPBF supports an absolute maximum input voltage of 64V (VIN to VOUT–), with recommended operating range up to 60V. Exceeding 60V may trigger overvoltage lockout at VIN + |VOUT–| > 64V, suspending switching until voltage falls below 62V due to 2V hysteresis. This protects internal 110mΩ/50mΩ MOSFETs and gate drivers during transient events.
How is the output voltage programmed on the LTC7149EUFD#TRPBF?
The LTC7149EUFD#TRPBF uses a precision 50µA current source at the ISET pin to program VOUT– via a single resistor RSET connected between ISET and VOUT–, where VOUT– = –50µA × RSET. For example, a 100kΩ resistor sets –5.0V output. The ISET pin also accepts an external soft-start capacitor to control ramp rate, with tSS ≈ 2.3 × RSET × CSET for 0%–90% transition.
Does the LTC7149EUFD#TRPBF support external clock synchronization?
Yes, the LTC7149EUFD#TRPBF supports external clock synchronization via the MODE/SYNC pin, which accepts an external clock signal within ±50% of the frequency set by the RT resistor. For example, if RT programs 1MHz, the external clock must be between 500kHz and 1.5MHz. Synchronization forces forced continuous mode operation and eliminates beat frequencies in multi-regulator systems.
What thermal considerations apply to the LTC7149EUFD#TRPBF package?
The LTC7149EUFD#TRPBF uses a 28-lead 4mm × 5mm QFN with exposed SVOUT– pad (Pin 29), requiring soldering to a PCB copper plane for thermal performance. Its θJA is 43°C/W; insufficient pad area or poor thermal vias increase junction temperature, potentially triggering overtemperature protection above 125°C. Thermal design must account for both power dissipation in internal MOSFETs and INTVCC LDO losses.
Can the LTC7149EUFD#TRPBF operate with a pre-biased output?
Yes, the LTC7149EUFD#TRPBF safely starts into a pre-biased VOUT– by remaining in Burst Mode™ and keeping power switches off until the ISET pin voltage ramps up to match VOUTSNS. Once VISET = VOUTSNS, switching begins and VOUT– decreases at the programmed rate. This prevents reverse current flow and output overshoot, critical for hot-swap and redundant power systems.
