Product details
Overview
LTC1142HVCG-ADJ#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual-channel, high-efficiency synchronous step-down switching regulator controller with user-programmable output voltages. It drives external complementary MOSFET pairs per channel using constant off-time current-mode architecture, supports 3.5V–20V input, delivers up to 2A per output, and maintains >95% efficiency across three decades of load current in Burst Mode™ operation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1142HVCG-ADJ#PBF datasheet, LTC1142HVCG-ADJ#PBF pinout, LTC1142HVCG-ADJ#PBF application, or LTC1142HVCG-ADJ#PBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed efficiency curves vs. input voltage and load, real-world shutdown current specs (160µA/output), and two field-validated alternative parts for dual adjustable buck controller designs.
Technical Context
The LTC1142HVCG-ADJ#PBF implements two independent constant off-time current-mode control loops-one per output-each with dedicated CT pins (Pins 11 & 25), ITH pins (13 & 27), and sense+/- inputs (Pins 1/15/14/28). Each loop uses an internal 1.25V reference and programmable feedback via external resistor dividers connected to Pins 2 and 16.
Burst Mode™ operation automatically engages below ~10mA load per channel, reducing quiescent current to 160µA per regulator block while maintaining regulation; during Burst Mode, the voltage comparator dominates control, whereas the gain amplifier governs continuous mode. Dropout is minimized via 100% duty cycle capability and adaptive off-time discharge current scaling when VIN − VOUT < 1.5V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5V to 20V - supports wide-input industrial and battery-powered systems without pre-regulation |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 1.25V (±4%) - sets output voltage accuracy via external resistor divider on Pins 2/16 |
| Max Output Current per Channel | 2A - determined by external RSENSE (e.g., 0.05Ω yields ~2A peak inductor current) |
| Quiescent Current (per channel) | 160µA in Burst Mode - enables multi-day battery life in portable instrumentation |
| Shutdown Current (per channel) | 10µA - ensures zero-load standby power in always-on subsystems |
| Current Sense Threshold | 25mV to 170mV - programmable trip point for overcurrent protection and ripple control |

| PIN 10 (VIN5) | Input supply, output 2 | Power input for 5V regulator section; requires local 22µF/25V ceramic + bulk decoupling |
| PIN 11 (CT5) | Timing capacitor, output 2 | External capacitor (e.g., 390pF) sets off-time and thus operating frequency for channel 2 |
| PIN 13 (ITH5) | Current limit threshold adjust, output 2 | Voltage on this pin scales current comparator threshold - used for soft-start or current limiting |
| PIN 14 (SENSE−5) | Current sense negative / feedback node, output 2 | Internal resistive divider tap; also (−) input to current comparator for output 2 |
| PIN 15 (SENSE+5) | Current sense positive input, output 2 | Paired with Pin 14 to measure RSENSE5 voltage drop; built-in offset enables precise current sensing |
| PIN 16 (VFB2) | Feedback input, output 2 | Configures second output voltage independently (e.g., 5V or user-defined value) |
| PIN 17 (SHDN5) | Shutdown control, output 2 | Independent CMOS shutdown enable for second channel; no cross-talk with SHDN3 |

| PIN 24 (VIN3) | Input supply, output 1 | Power input for 3.3V regulator section; decoupled locally to PGND3 (Pin 4) |
| PIN 25 (CT3) | Timing capacitor, output 1 | Independent frequency setting for channel 1; allows asymmetric switching frequencies per output |
| PIN 27 (ITH3) | Current limit threshold adjust, output 1 | Analog interface to scale current trip point dynamically - useful for foldback or thermal derating |
| PIN 28 (SENSE−3) | Current sense negative / feedback node, output 1 | Reference node for both feedback divider and current comparator in output 1 path |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC1142HVCG-ADJ#PBF?
The LTC1142HVCG-ADJ#PBF supports an absolute maximum input supply voltage of 20V on Pins 10 and 24. This HV rating distinguishes it from the standard LTC1142 (16V max) and LTC1142L (12V max), enabling direct operation from 18V nominal industrial supplies or 2-cell Li-ion stacks without pre-regulation. Operation above 18V is not recommended for sustained use due to thermal limits.
How do I configure the output voltages for the LTC1142HVCG-ADJ#PBF?
The LTC1142HVCG-ADJ#PBF uses two independent feedback pins - Pin 2 (VFB1) for output 1 and Pin 16 (VFB2) for output 2 - each connected to a resistive divider from its respective VOUT to ground. With an internal 1.25V reference, the output voltage is calculated as VOUT = 1.25V × (1 + R1/R2). For example, a 10kΩ top resistor and 3.92kΩ bottom resistor yields 4.48V. Both outputs can be set to different values simultaneously.
Does the LTC1142HVCG-ADJ#PBF support 100% duty cycle operation?
Yes, the LTC1142HVCG-ADJ#PBF supports true 100% duty cycle operation, enabling low-dropout regulation where VOUT closely tracks VIN (e.g., 4.95V out at VIN = 5.0V). This is achieved by disabling the off-time timer when VIN − VOUT falls below ~1.5V, holding the P-channel MOSFET continuously on. The feature eliminates the need for linear post-regulators in battery-powered end-of-life scenarios.
What is the typical quiescent current of the LTC1142HVCG-ADJ#PBF in Burst Mode™?
In Burst Mode™, the LTC1142HVCG-ADJ#PBF draws 160µA per regulator block - totaling 320µA for both channels - while maintaining regulation. This ultra-low IQ enables multi-day battery life in portable instrumentation. Shutdown mode reduces current further to 10µA per channel (20µA total) when both SHDN3 and SHDN5 are pulled high.
Can the two channels of the LTC1142HVCG-ADJ#PBF operate at different switching frequencies?
Yes, the LTC1142HVCG-ADJ#PBF allows independent frequency setting via separate CT pins: Pin 11 (CT5) for output 2 and Pin 25 (CT3) for output 1. Each CT capacitor sets the off-time for its respective channel, enabling asymmetric frequencies (e.g., 150kHz on output 1 and 220kHz on output 2) to minimize beat frequencies and EMI in sensitive analog systems.
