Product details
Overview
LT1765EFE-1.8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic 3A, 1.25MHz current-mode step-down switching regulator with fixed 1.8V output, integrated 0.09Ω NPN power switch, and thermally enhanced 16-lead TSSOP package. It operates from 3V to 25V input, delivers up to 3A continuous output, and maintains constant maximum switch current across all duty cycles - ideal for compact, high-efficiency point-of-load conversion in portable computing and battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT1765EFE-1.8#TRPBF datasheet, LT1765EFE-1.8#TRPBF pinout, LT1765EFE-1.8#TRPBF application, or LT1765EFE-1.8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 1.8V feedback reference (±1.8% over temperature), 15μA shutdown current, 1.25MHz switching frequency enabling small external components, and thermal performance enabled by the exposed GND pad in the TSSOP-16 package.
Technical Context
The LT1765EFE-1.8#TRPBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control using an internal 1.25MHz oscillator, cycle-by-cycle peak current sensing, and a transconductance error amplifier (gm = 850 μMho) with VC pin access for compensation or current limiting. Its bipolar NPN switch architecture requires external BOOST capacitor and diode to maintain saturation under high-duty-cycle conditions.
It features built-in undervoltage lockout (2.6V threshold), logic-compatible SYNC input supporting 1.6–2MHz synchronization, and full-cycle thermal shutdown. The fixed 1.8V version integrates the feedback divider internally, connecting FB directly to VOUT - eliminating external resistor selection while preserving the same 1.2V reference accuracy as the adjustable variant.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8V ±1.8% over –40°C to 125°C junction range - enables precise core voltage regulation without external resistors. |
| Max Output Current | 3A continuous - supported by on-die 0.09Ω NPN switch and thermally enhanced TSSOP-16 with θJC(PAD) = 10°C/W. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.25MHz (typ), synchronizable to 1.6–2MHz - allows use of sub-3μH chip inductors and <5μF ceramic input/output capacitors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3V to 25V - accommodates single Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), 5V/12V/24V rails, and wide-input industrial supplies. |
| Shutdown Current | 15μA (typ) at VIN = 25V - extends battery life in always-on or low-power standby modes. |

Pinout & Package
LT1765EFE-1.8#TRPBF is housed in a 16-lead plastic TSSOP with exposed GND pad (Pin 17), optimized for thermal dissipation (θJA = 45°C/W). The dual VIN (Pins 3,4) and dual VSW (Pins 6,7) require PCB shorting per layout guidelines to minimize parasitic inductance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 1,8,10,16, Pad 17) | Power and signal reference ground | Must connect exposed pad and all GND pins to large copper plane - primary thermal path and critical for load regulation accuracy. |
| BOOST (Pin 2) | Switch driver bootstrap supply | Requires external 0.18μF capacitor + Schottky diode (e.g., CMDSH-3); provides >VIN voltage to saturate NPN switch during on-time. |
| VIN (Pins 3,4) | Input power and internal bias supply | Both pins must be shorted on PCB; high-di/dt node - bypass capacitor must be placed adjacent to minimize flyback spikes. |
| VSW (Pins 6,7) | Emitter of internal NPN power switch | Both pins must be shorted; drives inductor; negative swing during off-time requires external catch diode (VBR < 0.8V). |
| FB (Pin 9) | Feedback input | Internally connected to 1.8V output - no external divider needed; used for current limit foldback when <0.5V. |
| SYNC (Pin 11) | Oscillator synchronization input | Logic-level compatible (1.5–2.2V threshold); accepts 1.6–2MHz external clock to eliminate beat frequencies in multi-regulator systems. |
| SHDN (Pin 12) | Enable/disable control | 1.33V threshold; float or tie to VIN for operation; pull to GND for 15μA shutdown - also usable as precision UVLO input. |
| VC (Pin 13) | Error amplifier output / current limit control | 0.4V–0.9V range under load; accessible for loop compensation, current clamping, or forced shutdown by pulling to GND. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 3A, 0.09Ω NPN switch | Eliminates external MOSFET and gate driver - reduces BOM count and PCB area while maintaining high efficiency at 1.25MHz. |
| Constant max switch current at all duty cycles | Ensures predictable current-limit behavior regardless of input-output ratio - simplifies overcurrent protection design in wide-VIN applications. |
| Thermally enhanced TSSOP-16 with exposed pad | Enables 3A operation without heatsink - θJC(PAD) = 10°C/W supports >2W power dissipation with proper board copper. |
| 1.25MHz current-mode architecture | Delivers fast transient response (<10μs to settle) and inherent loop stability - reduces need for complex compensation networks. |
| 15μA shutdown current with UVLO capability | Extends battery runtime and prevents brownout operation - SHDN pin doubles as accurate 1.33V comparator for custom input monitoring. |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed output voltage accuracy of the LT1765EFE-1.8#TRPBF over temperature?
The LT1765EFE-1.8#TRPBF guarantees output voltage accuracy of ±1.8% over the full –40°C to 125°C junction temperature range. This is derived from the internal 1.2V reference (±1.8% tolerance) and fixed resistor divider network, ensuring stable 1.8V regulation without external component drift or tolerance effects. The LT1765EFE-1.8#TRPBF datasheet specifies this performance under all operating conditions including varying load and input voltage.
Can the LT1765EFE-1.8#TRPBF operate from a 3.3V input to deliver 1.8V at 3A?
Yes, the LT1765EFE-1.8#TRPBF supports input voltages as low as 3V and can deliver 3A continuously at 1.8V output when VIN ≥ 3.6V. At VIN = 3.3V, maximum output current is reduced due to duty cycle limitation and switch voltage drop - typical performance shows ~2.2A at 3.3V input. The LT1765EFE-1.8#TRPBF maintains constant switch current rating across all duty cycles, but thermal limits and dropout margin constrain low-VIN capability.
Does the LT1765EFE-1.8#TRPBF require an external catch diode, and what are the key selection criteria?
Yes, the LT1765EFE-1.8#TRPBF requires an external Schottky catch diode connected between VSW and GND. Key selection criteria include: reverse voltage rating ≥ VIN(max) = 25V, forward voltage < 0.8V to avoid degrading switch saturation, and average current rating ≥ 2.5A (calculated as IOUT × (VIN − VOUT)/VIN). Recommended parts include CMDSH-3 (3A, 30V, 0.45V VF) or similar low-VF, low-ESR devices. The LT1765EFE-1.8#TRPBF datasheet specifies this requirement in the BOOST and VSW pin descriptions.
How does the SYNC pin function on the LT1765EFE-1.8#TRPBF, and what is its valid input frequency range?
The SYNC pin on the LT1765EFE-1.8#TRPBF accepts a logic-level square wave to synchronize the internal 1.25MHz oscillator. Valid input frequency is 1.6MHz to 2MHz, with 20–80% duty cycle. The pin has a 1.5–2.2V threshold and 20kΩ input resistance. When unused, SYNC must be grounded. This feature eliminates beat frequencies in multi-rail systems and is fully documented in the LT1765EFE-1.8#TRPBF Applications Information section.
What thermal design practices are recommended for the LT1765EFE-1.8#TRPBF in high-current operation?
For reliable 3A operation, the LT1765EFE-1.8#TRPBF requires soldering the exposed GND pad (Pin 17) to a minimum 200mm² copper area on the PCB, with ≥4 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter) connecting to an internal ground plane. Layout must minimize trace length between VIN/VSW pins and their respective capacitors/diode. The LT1765EFE-1.8#TRPBF thermal data specifies θJC(PAD) = 10°C/W - achieving this requires strict adherence to the recommended land pattern and copper fill, as detailed in the LT1765EFE-1.8#TRPBF datasheet Layout Considerations section.
