LT3970EMS-5#TRPBF

Analog Devices · DC-DC Converters · MSOP-10

LT3970EMS-5#TRPBF from Analog Devices, in a MSOP-10. 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 VOUT input For the LT3970-5 this pin is regulated to 5V and connects to the internal feedback divider that programs the fixed output voltage.
2 EN input Shutdown when low and active when high, with a hysteretic threshold of 1V rising and 0.97V falling; tie to VIN if unused, and the threshold is accurate only when VIN is above 4.2V.
3 VIN power_in Supplies current to the internal circuitry and the internal power switch (4.2V to 40V operating) and must be locally bypassed.
4 GND power_in Ground pin that must be soldered to the PCB.
5 GND power_in Ground pin that must be soldered to the PCB.
6 SW output Output of the internal power switch; connect this pin to the inductor.
7 BOOST passive Provides a drive voltage higher than the input voltage to the internal bipolar NPN power switch.
8 BD passive Connects to the anode of the boost diode and supplies current to the internal regulator when BD is above 3.2V.
9 PG output Open-drain output of an internal comparator that stays low until the output is within 10% of final regulation; valid when VIN is above 4.2V and EN is high.
10 RT passive A resistor tied between RT and ground sets the switching frequency (200kHz to 2.2MHz).
