Analog Devices · Operational Amplifier · TSSOP-20-EP

LT1970ACFE#PBF from Analog Devices, in a TSSOP-20-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 VEE power_in Minus supply voltage connected to the die substrate, which must always be the most negative voltage applied to the part and may be negative or ground; any or all VEE pins may be used and unused ones must remain open.
2 V- power_in Output stage negative supply that may equal VEE or be smaller in magnitude, carries only output stage current, can drive the base/gate of an external boost device, and should otherwise be decoupled to ground with a low ESR capacitor.
3 OUT output Amplifier output and force connection of a Kelvin sensed load, normally tied to the external current sense resistor and SENSE+, and current limited to ±800mA typical.
4 SENSE+ input Positive current sense pin normally connected to the driven end of the external sense resistor; sourcing limit activates when VSENSE equals 1/10 of the VCSRC voltage and sinking limit when VSENSE equals -1/10 of the VCSNK voltage.
5 FILTER passive Current sense filter pin normally left open or shorted to SENSE-, which can adapt the current sense response time with a 1nF to 100nF capacitor to SENSE- working with an internal 1k resistor.
6 SENSE- input Negative current sense pin normally connected to the load end of the external sense resistor, with current limiting activating at VSENSE equal to 1/10 of VCSRC (sourcing) or -1/10 of VCSNK (sinking).
7 VCC power_in Positive supply voltage for all circuitry except the output transistors, with total VCC to VEE supply between 3.5V and 36V, VCC always greater than or equal to V+, and decoupled to ground with a low ESR capacitor.
8 -IN input Inverting amplifier input that may be any voltage from VEE - 0.3V to VEE + 36V and stays high impedance at all times, and must never go below VEE - 0.3V even transiently.
9 +IN input Noninverting amplifier input that may be any voltage from VEE - 0.3V to VEE + 36V and stays high impedance at all times, and must never go below VEE - 0.3V even transiently.
10 VEE power_in Minus supply voltage connected to the die substrate, which must always be the most negative voltage applied to the part; any or all VEE pins may be used and unused ones must remain open.
11 VEE power_in Minus supply voltage connected to the die substrate, which must always be the most negative voltage applied to the part; any or all VEE pins may be used and unused ones must remain open.
12 VCSNK input Sink current limit control voltage input that sets the sink limit at a sense voltage of -1.0 • VVCSNK/10, may be set between VCOMMON and VCOMMON + 6V, and is linear except below 60mV with a typical 4mV minimum VSENSE set point.
13 VCSRC input Source current limit control voltage input that sets the source limit at a sense voltage of VVCSRC/10, may be set between VCOMMON and VCOMMON + 6V, and is linear except below 60mV with a typical 4mV minimum VSENSE set point.
14 COMMON passive Reference pin for the control and ENABLE inputs and flag outputs, which may be at any potential between VEE and VCC - 3V and is normally connected to ground.
15 ENABLE input TTL-level digital enable input that turns off the amplifier output and drops supply current to less than 1mA when taken low, and can be used to force zero output current.
16 ISRC output Open-collector sourcing current limit flag that pulls low whenever the sourcing current limit amplifier controls the output, sinks up to 10mA, may be wire-ORed with ISNK and TSD, and may be left open if unused.
17 ISNK output Open-collector sinking current limit flag that pulls low whenever the sinking current limit amplifier controls the output, sinks up to 10mA, may be wire-ORed with ISRC and TSD, and may be left open if unused.
18 TSD output Open-collector thermal shutdown flag that pulls low when the internal thermal shutdown activates at a typical die temperature of 160°C, sinks up to 10mA, may be wire-ORed with ISRC and ISNK, and may be left open if unused.
19 V+ power_in Output stage positive supply that may equal VCC or be smaller in magnitude, carries only output stage current, can drive the base/gate of an external boost device, and should otherwise be decoupled to ground with a low ESR capacitor.
20 VEE power_in Minus supply voltage connected to the die substrate, which must always be the most negative voltage applied to the part; any or all VEE pins may be used and unused ones must remain open.
21 Exposed Pad power_in Exposed backside of the package electrically connected to the VEE pins on the die, to be soldered to a heat spreading PC board pad that is electrically connected to VEE.

CAD (KiCad official)

  • Symbol: LT1970ACFE#PBF
  • Footprint: Package_SO:TSSOP-20-1EP_4.4x6.5mm_P0.65mm_EP2.15x3.35mm
  • 3D model: TSSOP-20-EP, generated from the KiCad footprint (body from the F.Fab outline, terminals on the pads, 1.2 mm nominal TSSOP height). Neither the vendor nor KiCad ships a 3D model for this package, so the dimensions are nominal, not the manufacturer's CAD (STEP)
  • 3D model files: lt1970acfe-pbf-etched.step / lt1970acfe-pbf-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); lt1970acfe-pbf.step / lt1970acfe-pbf.glb are the bare package body.
