Product details

What the LTC3251EMSE-1.2#PBF is and where it fits

The LTC3251EMSE-1.2#PBF from Analog Devices is a charge-pump step-down regulator that delivers a fixed 1.2 V output at up to 500 mA. It operates from an input voltage range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V.

Key ratings and what they mean for the BOM

The 500 mA output current sets the load budget: this part supplies a 1.2 V core rail for a small MCU, an FPGA bank, or a sensor interface, but not a multi-amp processor core.

Package and mounting

Housed in a 10-MSOP-EP (exposed pad) package, the LTC3251EMSE-1.2#PBF requires a thermal land on the PCB to sink heat from the die. The exposed pad must be soldered to a copper plane for rated output at high ambient. The 0.118-inch body width (3.00 mm) fits tight layouts, but the pad footprint needs clearance from adjacent traces. Supplied in Tube — not Tape & Reel — so plan for hand-loading or a tube feeder if the pick-and-place line is set up for reels only.

Lifecycle and sourcing

The LTC3251EMSE-1.2#PBF is listed as Active with a ROHS3 compliance status. No NRND or EOL notice is on record, so it remains a current-production part suitable for new designs.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy LTC3251EMSE-1.2#PBF?

This part is sourced and quoted to order through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current availability and pricing.

Can LTC3251EMSE-1.2#PBF generate negative voltages?

No. This part is configured as a positive step-down (buck) charge pump with a fixed 1.2 V positive output. It cannot generate a negative rail.

What is a replacement for LTC3251EMSE-1.2#PBF?

No official replacement or second-source part is listed in the cross-reference data. For a functional equivalent, consider a different charge-pump step-down regulator with a fixed 1.2 V output and 500 mA capability, but verify pinout and package compatibility — the 10-MSOP-EP footprint is specific.

What is LTC3251EMSE-1.2#PBF's listed package?

The part ships in Tube packaging. The device package is a 10-MSOP-EP (10-lead MSOP with exposed pad, 0.118-inch / 3.00 mm body width).
