LT1961EMS8E#TRPBF

Analog Devices · DC-DC Converters · MSOP-8-EP

LT1961EMS8E#TRPBF from Analog Devices, in a MSOP-8-EP. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 VIN power_in This pin powers the internal circuitry and internal regulator, and the external bypass capacitor should be kept close to it.
2 SW output The switch pin is the collector of the on-chip 1.5A power NPN switch, which carries large currents, so its traces to the switching components should be kept as short as possible.
3 GND power_in This pin is the reference for the regulated output and should be shorted to GND pin 4 and the exposed pad on the PCB.
4 GND power_in This pin is the reference for the regulated output and should be shorted to GND pin 3 and the exposed pad on the PCB.
5 SHDN input The shutdown pin turns the regulator off using a 1.35V threshold, reducing input drain current to a few microamperes, and must be floated or pulled high to operate.
6 FB input The feedback pin sets the output voltage through an external divider that generates 1.2V at the pin, and an impedance below 5kΩ is needed for current-limit foldback during startup when FB is below 0.5V.
7 VC passive The VC pin is the error amplifier output used for frequency compensation, sitting at about 0.3V for very light loads and 0.9V at maximum load.
8 SYNC input The sync pin synchronizes the internal oscillator to an external logic signal with a 20% to 80% duty cycle over a range up to 2MHz, and should be grounded when not in use.
9 EP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).
