Product details
Overview
LTC1143LCS#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual-channel, fixed-output (3.3V/5V), current-mode step-down switching regulator controller driving external P-channel MOSFETs. It features constant off-time architecture, Burst Mode™ operation for high light-load efficiency (>95% at full load), 160µA per channel standby current, and 3.5V–16V input range. It targets space-constrained dual-rail power supplies in portable computing and battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1143LCS#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1143LCS#TRPBF pinout, LTC1143LCS#TRPBF application, or LTC1143LCS#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual fixed-voltage control, SO-16 package footprint, 400kHz max switching frequency, 100% duty cycle low-dropout capability, and compatibility with standard external power stages using discrete P-MOSFETs and Schottky diodes.
Technical Context
The LTC1143LCS#TRPBF implements two independent constant off-time current-mode controllers, each with dedicated timing capacitor (CT) pins (6 & 14), current sense inputs (SENSE+/-), and P-drive outputs (4 & 12). Its Burst Mode™ operation disables switching below ~15mA load per channel, reducing quiescent current to 160µA per regulator block while maintaining regulation via output capacitor discharge.
Each channel uses an internal 1.25V reference and fixed resistor divider to set 3.3V (Pin 16) and 5V (Pin 8) outputs; feedback voltage accuracy is ±1.6% over temperature. The off-time is dynamically adjusted based on VOUT and VIN–VOUT differential to stabilize frequency near dropout and suppress audible noise.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Configuration | Dual fixed 3.3V and 5V outputs, each controlled independently with external P-MOSFET and diode |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5V to 16V - supports wide battery and adapter inputs including Li-ion (3.7V nominal) and 12V industrial rails |
| Efficiency | >95% typical at full load; maintained across three decades of output current (5mA–2A) via Burst Mode™ |
| Quiescent Current | 160µA per channel in sleep mode - enables multi-day battery life in always-on portable devices |
| Switching Frequency | Up to 400kHz (set by CT pins); frequency decreases as VIN approaches VOUT to avoid audible noise |
| Current Sense Threshold | 130–170mV (typical) - sets peak inductor current; determines RSENSE value for target IOUT and ripple |
| Feedback Voltage Accuracy | ±1.6% over 0°C to 70°C - ensures stable 3.3V/5V rail tolerance without external trimming |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead narrow SOIC (SO-16), 1.27mm pitch, JEDEC MS-012AC, θJA = 95°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SENSE+1) | Current sense positive input - 3.3V section | Connects across RSENSE to detect inductor current; built-in offset sets trip threshold with Pin 16 |
| 2 (SHUTDOWN3) | Logic-controlled shutdown - 3.3V section | CMOS-compatible input; pull high ≥0.8V to disable 3.3V regulator and reduce supply current to 10µA |
| 3 (GND3) | 3.3V section ground return | Must be routed separately to COUT1(–) and D1 cathode to prevent noise coupling into current sense path |
| 4 (P-DRIVE1) | High-current gate driver - 3.3V section | Drives P-MOSFET gate from VIN1 to GND; swing amplitude matches input rail for full enhancement |
| 5 (VIN2) | 5V section input supply | Requires local 22µF/25V ceramic + bulk decoupling; maximum rating 16V absolute |
| 6 (CT2) | Timing capacitor connection - 5V section | 300pF typical sets ~400kHz; frequency scales inversely with CT and directly with VIN–VOUT |
| 7 (ITH2) | Gain amplifier decoupling - 5V section | Stabilizes current comparator threshold; connect 0.1µF ceramic to GND2 for noise immunity |
| 8 (SENSE–2) | Current sense negative / VFB reference - 5V section | Internal resistive divider sets 5V output; also (–) input of current comparator; connects to RSENSE low side |
| 9 (SENSE+2) | Current sense positive input - 5V section | Paired with Pin 8; built-in offset defines current trip point with external RSENSE |
| 10 (VFB2) | Feedback input - 5V section | Not used in LTC1143LCS#TRPBF (fixed 5V); tied internally to reference divider; not connected externally |
| 11 (GND2) | 5V section ground return | Independent ground path required to COUT2(–) and D2 cathode; prevents cross-regulator interference |
| 12 (P-DRIVE2) | High-current gate driver - 5V section | Drives P-MOSFET gate from VIN2 to GND; rated for 50mA peak sink/source |
| 13 (VIN1) | 3.3V section input supply | Separate input pin allows independent sourcing (e.g., different battery taps or LDO pre-regulation) |
| 14 (CT1) | Timing capacitor connection - 3.3V section | 300pF typical sets ~400kHz; independent frequency tuning per channel |
| 15 (ITH1) | Gain amplifier decoupling - 3.3V section | Stabilizes current comparator threshold; connect 0.1µF ceramic to GND3 |
| 16 (SENSE–1) | Current sense negative / VFB reference - 3.3V section | Internal resistive divider sets 3.3V output; also (–) input of current comparator; connects to RSENSE low side |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual fixed-output buck controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1143CS#TRPBF | Same architecture but higher minimum input voltage (4V vs 3.5V); lacks extended low-VIN optimization | Less suitable for single-cell Li-ion systems operating below 3.5V; otherwise pin- and function-compatible | Select LTC1143LCS#TRPBF when input must operate down to 3.5V or lower; use LTC1143CS#TRPBF only if VIN ≥4V guaranteed |
| TPS54202DRTT | Single-channel, integrated MOSFET, adjustable output; no dual fixed 3.3V/5V option; requires external feedback resistors | Cannot replace LTC1143LCS#TRPBF in dual-rail designs without adding second IC and redesigning layout | Only viable as partial replacement if system can accept single output + external LDO for second rail; not a functional substitute |
Compared with LTC1143CS#TRPBF, the LTC1143LCS#TRPBF delivers verified 3.5V start-up and optimized light-load efficiency below 4V input, while TPS54202DRTT offers integration at the cost of losing dual fixed outputs and requiring additional components for second rail generation.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for reliable startup of the LTC1143LCS#TRPBF?
The LTC1143LCS#TRPBF guarantees operation down to 3.5V input across temperature. Startup is functional at 3.5V with both channels enabled; below this, undervoltage lockout may inhibit regulation. This makes LTC1143LCS#TRPBF suitable for single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V) applications where minimum system voltage reaches 3.5V under load.
Does the LTC1143LCS#TRPBF support independent enable/disable of each output channel?
Yes. The LTC1143LCS#TRPBF provides separate shutdown pins: Pin 2 (SHUTDOWN3) controls the 3.3V channel and Pin 10 (SHUTDOWN5) controls the 5V channel. Each accepts CMOS-level signals; pulling either pin high disables its respective regulator and reduces that channel's supply current to 10µA.
Can the LTC1143LCS#TRPBF be used with N-channel MOSFETs instead of P-channel devices?
No. The LTC1143LCS#TRPBF P-DRIVE outputs (Pins 4 and 12) are designed exclusively for high-side P-channel MOSFETs, providing gate drive from VIN to GND. It lacks bootstrap circuitry or floating gate drivers required for N-MOSFET high-side configurations. Using N-MOSFETs would require fundamental redesign and is not supported.
What is the purpose of the ITH1 and ITH2 pins on the LTC1143LCS#TRPBF?
ITH1 (Pin 15) and ITH2 (Pin 7) are gain amplifier decoupling points for the 3.3V and 5V sections, respectively. They stabilize the current comparator threshold voltage against noise and supply ripple. A 0.1µF ceramic capacitor must be connected from each ITH pin to its corresponding ground (GND1 or GND2) to ensure accurate current sensing and prevent false triggering.
How does the LTC1143LCS#TRPBF maintain efficiency at very light loads?
The LTC1143LCS#TRPBF uses patented Burst Mode™ operation: below ~15mA per channel, it stops switching entirely, allowing the output capacitor to supply load current while internal circuitry enters micropower sleep (160µA/channel). When output voltage drops due to load, it resumes switching in short bursts to recharge the capacitor - sustaining >85% efficiency even at 1mA.
