Product details
Overview
LTC7149IUFD#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.
For engineers reviewing the LTC7149IUFD#TRPBF datasheet, LTC7149IUFD#TRPBF pinout, LTC7149IUFD#TRPBF application, or LTC7149IUFD#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its single-resistor VOUT programming, board-ground-referenced I/O (RUN, PGOOD, MODE/SYNC), programmable soft-start, and ±50% frequency sync range - all critical for stable negative-bias supply design in distributed systems.
Technical Context
The LTC7149IUFD#TRPBF implements a peak current mode architecture with inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting and fast transient response. Its internal level-shift circuits enable all control pins (RUN, MODE/SYNC, PGOOD) to reference board GND rather than SVOUT–, simplifying PCB layout and system grounding.
It supports dual operating modes via the MODE/SYNC pin: Burst Mode® for ultra-low quiescent current (440µA) at light loads, and forced continuous conduction mode for low-output-ripple operation. Frequency is resistor-programmable from 300kHz to 3MHz with ±50% external clock synchronization capability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 3.4V to 60V - supports wide-input industrial and telecom rails without pre-regulation. |
| VOUT Range | –28V to 0V - enables true negative output generation from positive input sources. |
| Output Current | Up to 4A inductor current - sufficient for powering op-amp bias rails, ADC/DAC references, and RF front-end stages. |
| Efficiency | 92% at 12VIN/–5VOUT - minimizes thermal load in space-constrained modules. |
| Output Accuracy | ±0.8% - ensures precise negative voltage regulation for sensitive analog circuitry. |
| IQ (Burst Mode) | 440µA - extends battery life in always-on monitoring systems with negative bias requirements. |
| fSW Range | 300kHz–3MHz (resistor-programmable) - allows optimization of size vs. EMI in compact designs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-Lead (4mm × 5mm) Plastic QFN with exposed pad (Pin 29 = SVOUT–), rated for –40°C to 125°C junction temperature. Exposed pad must be soldered to PCB plane for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VOUT– (Pins 1,2,26–28) | Negative output return | Primary output node; multiple pins reduce IR drop and improve current handling for –28V/4A operation. |
| VIN (Pins 3,4) | Input supply | High-voltage input path; dual pins minimize trace resistance and thermal stress under 60V max. |
| RUN (Pin 5) | Enable control | GND-referenced logic input; 1.2V rising threshold enables accurate VIN undervoltage lockout via resistor divider. |
| GND (Pin 6) | Board ground sense | Reference for internal LDOs and level-shifted I/O; must connect directly to PCB ground plane. |
| MODE/SYNC (Pin 7) | Mode select & sync input | GND = Burst Mode; floating = forced continuous; external clock = synchronized switching with ±50% capture range. |
| PGOOD (Pin 8) | Power-good indicator | Open-drain output pulled low when VPGDFB < 0.555V or > 0.645V relative to VOUT–; includes 64-cycle blanking delay. |
| RT (Pin 12) | Frequency programming | Resistor-to-SVOUT– sets fSW; 100kΩ yields ~1MHz; supports external clock sync within ±50% of programmed frequency. |
| ISET (Pin 14) | Output voltage programming | 50µA precision current source; RSET from ISET to VOUT– sets VOUT– = –50µA × RSET. |
| ITH (Pin 15) | Error amplifier output | Compensation node; tie to INTVCC for internal compensation or use external network for OPTI-LOOP® optimization. |
| SW (Pins 19–25) | Switch node | High-current connection to external inductor; multiple pins reduce parasitic inductance and EMI. |
| SVOUT– (Pins 10,29) | Exposed pad / thermal & electrical return | Mandatory solder connection to PCB copper; serves as primary return for high-side MOSFET and thermal path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single-resistor VOUT programming | Enables precise negative output setting (e.g., –5V, –12V, –15V) with one external resistor - eliminates trimming and reduces BOM count. |
| Board-GND-referenced I/O | RUN, MODE/SYNC, and PGOOD operate referenced to board GND instead of SVOUT–, eliminating need for isolated level-shifting circuitry. |
| Programmable soft-start | Capacitor from ISET to VOUT– controls ramp rate (tSS ≈ 2.3 × RSET × CSET), preventing inrush current into pre-biased loads. |
| Integrated 110mΩ/50mΩ MOSFETs | Monolithic power stage eliminates external FETs and gate drivers - reduces footprint and improves reliability in harsh environments. |
| Overtemperature protection | Thermal shutdown activates above 125°C junction temperature, protecting device during overload or poor heatsinking conditions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar inverting buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC7150SIV#TRPBF | Higher 60V/5A rating, integrated MOSFETs with lower RDS(ON) (75mΩ/35mΩ), supports 300kHz–3MHz fSW, but requires external VOUT feedback resistors. | Designed for higher-current applications (>4A) and tighter load regulation; lacks single-resistor VOUT programming. | Select when >4A output or lower dropout is required; avoid if simplicity of ISET-based programming is critical. |
| TPS63710DSCR | 3.5V–20V input, –12V/1.5A output, fixed –12V option only, no ISET programming, uses external feedback resistors, lower efficiency (87% @ 12VIN/–12VOUT). | Targeted at low-power portable applications; lacks wide-VIN support, programmable frequency, and Burst Mode®. | Select for cost-sensitive, low-current designs where 60V input and 4A output are unnecessary. |
Compared with LTC7149IUFD#TRPBF, LTC7150SIV#TRPBF offers higher current capability and lower conduction loss but sacrifices single-resistor VOUT simplicity; TPS63710DSCR provides a lower-cost, lower-performance alternative for fixed-output, low-power negative rails without wide-VIN or high-efficiency requirements.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LTC7149IUFD#TRPBF?
The LTC7149IUFD#TRPBF delivers up to 4A of inductor current in continuous conduction mode. This rating assumes proper thermal management via the exposed SVOUT– pad soldered to a PCB copper plane, ambient temperature ≤85°C, and appropriate input/output capacitor selection per the datasheet guidelines. Peak current limit is internally set to 5.4–6.6A.
How is the output voltage programmed on the LTC7149IUFD#TRPBF?
The LTC7149IUFD#TRPBF uses a precision 50µA current source on the ISET pin. Connecting an external resistor RSET from ISET to VOUT– sets VOUT– = –50µA × RSET. For example, a 100kΩ resistor yields –5.0V output. This single-resistor method eliminates feedback dividers and ensures ±0.8% accuracy over temperature and line.
Does the LTC7149IUFD#TRPBF support external clock synchronization?
Yes, the LTC7149IUFD#TRPBF supports external clock synchronization via the MODE/SYNC pin. When driven by an external clock signal, the internal oscillator locks within ±50% of its RT-resistor-programmed frequency. The part automatically enters forced continuous mode during sync operation, ensuring deterministic timing for EMI reduction in noise-sensitive systems.
What is the purpose of the SVOUT– pin on the LTC7149IUFD#TRPBF?
The SVOUT– pin (Pins 10 and 29) is the exposed thermal pad of the QFN package and serves as the electrical return for the high-side MOSFET and internal level-shift circuits. It must be soldered to a PCB copper plane tied to VOUT– to ensure rated thermal performance (θJA = 43°C/W) and proper operation of the internal level-shifted I/O pins.
Can the LTC7149IUFD#TRPBF operate with a 3.3V input to generate –3.3V output?
No - the LTC7149IUFD#TRPBF requires minimum 3.4V input, and generating –3.3V from 3.3V violates the minimum on-time constraint (tON(MIN) = 60ns). At such low |VOUT|/VIN ratios, the duty cycle approaches 100%, and the internal controller cannot reliably sense peak current. Operation is supported down to VIN ≥ 4.5V for –3.3V output per design guidelines.
