LT3971IMSE#PBF

Analog Devices · DC-DC Converters · MSOP-10-EP

LT3971IMSE#PBF from Analog Devices, in a MSOP-10-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 BD passive Connects to the anode of the boost diode and is normally connected to the output.
2 BOOST passive Provides a drive voltage, higher than the input voltage, to the internal bipolar NPN power switch.
3 SW output Output of the internal power switch; connect to the inductor, catch diode, and boost capacitor.
4 VIN power_in Supplies current to the internal circuitry and internal power switch, must be locally bypassed, and the input range is 4.3V to 38V.
5 EN input Part is in shutdown when low and active when high; the hysteretic threshold is 1.005V rising and 0.975V falling, and it is accurate only when VIN is above 4.3V.
6 FB input The LT3971 regulates FB to 1.19V; connect the feedback resistor divider tap here and a phase lead capacitor (typically 10pF) between FB and VOUT.
7 SS passive A capacitor tied to ground slowly ramps up the peak current limit at start-up; a 100k resistor in series is required for VIN above 25V.
8 RT passive A resistor tied between RT and ground sets the switching frequency.
9 PG output Open-drain output of an internal comparator that remains low until FB is within 9% of the final regulation voltage.
10 SYNC input External clock synchronization input; ground this pin for low-ripple Burst Mode operation at low output loads.
11 GND power_in Ground exposed pad that must be soldered to the PCB.
