Product details
Overview
LTC1149CS-5#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a synchronous step-down switching regulator controller designed to drive external complementary P-channel and N-channel MOSFETs in high-efficiency DC/DC conversion. It delivers regulated 5V output at up to 2A load, supports input voltages up to 48V, achieves up to 95% efficiency, and features Burst Mode™ operation for ultralow quiescent current (0.6–0.9 mA) at light loads - ideal for battery-powered industrial instrumentation and telecom power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1149CS-5#PBF datasheet, LTC1149CS-5#PBF pinout, LTC1149CS-5#PBF application, or LTC1149CS-5#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its constant off-time current-mode architecture, 16-pin narrow SOIC package, 5V fixed-output configuration, 1.25V internal reference, and dual shutdown control (SHDN1 and SHDN2) enabling precise system-level power sequencing.
Technical Context
The LTC1149CS-5#PBF implements a constant off-time current-mode control architecture with adaptive nonoverlap gate drives, where off-time (3.8–6 µs) is set by an external CT capacitor and scales with output voltage. Its internal 10V low-dropout regulator powers gate drivers and control circuitry, while level-shifted PGATE output enables direct drive of high-side P-channel MOSFETs referenced to VIN.
It integrates dual shutdown inputs: SHDN1 (pin 10, 0.5–2 V threshold) disables only control logic while preserving VCC, and SHDN2 (pin 15, 0.8–2 V threshold) shuts down VCC and all circuitry. Current sensing uses a built-in offset between SENSE+ (pin 9) and SENSE− (pin 8), with programmable trip thresholds (25 mV low / 130–170 mV high) determined by external RSENSE.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.05 V (typical), ±2% tolerance over 5 mA–2 A load - ensures stable rail for microcontrollers and analog circuitry without external feedback divider. |
| Input Voltage Range | –15 V to 60 V absolute max; functional range up to 48 V - supports wide-input industrial and telecom supply rails including 24 V and 48 V systems. |
| Efficiency | Up to 95% at 12 V input / 5 V output / 1 A load - minimizes thermal stress and extends battery life in portable equipment. |
| Quiescent Current | 0.6–0.9 mA in Burst Mode™ at 12 V input - enables multi-day standby in always-on sensor nodes and remote monitoring devices. |
| Shutdown Current | 135–230 µA (VIN = 12 V, SHDN2 high) - allows deep power-down for system-level energy budgeting. |
| Operating Frequency | Set by external CT capacitor; ~250 kHz max (CT = 390 pF, VIN = 10 V) - balances EMI, size, and efficiency for compact PCB layouts. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 130–170 mV (high threshold), 25 mV (low threshold) - defines peak inductor current and short-circuit protection level via RSENSE selection. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin narrow SOIC (S package), surface-mount, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant, θJA = 110°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PGATE (1) | Level-shifted high-side gate drive | Swings from VIN to VIN – VCC (≈10 V); directly drives P-channel MOSFET gate referenced to input rail. |
| VIN (2) | Main power input | Accepts –15 V to 60 V; supplies internal LDO and high-side driver; requires robust input filtering. |
| VCC (3) | Internal 10 V regulator output | Provides gate drive and bias for drivers/control logic; not short-circuit protected; must be decoupled near PGND. |
| PDRIVE (4) | High-current P-MOSFET gate driver | Swings from VCC to GND; drives P-MOSFET source via external level-shift network (CAP pin). |
| VCC (5) | Internal regulator input | Supplies regulated 10 V to driver/control blocks; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass to SGND. |
| CT (6) | Timing capacitor connection | Sets off-time and operating frequency; discharge current proportional to VOUT enables input-voltage-adaptive timing. |
| ITH (7) | Gain amplifier compensation node | Adjusts current comparator threshold; connects to RC network for loop stability tuning. |
| SENSE– (8) | Current sense (–) input / internal divider tap | Connects to internal resistive divider for fixed 5 V output; also serves as (–) input to current comparator. |
| SENSE+ (9) | Current sense (+) input | Paired with SENSE– to detect voltage across RSENSE; built-in offset enables accurate current limiting. |
| SHDN1/VFB (10) | Logic-controlled shutdown / feedback | In LTC1149CS-5#PBF: shutdown pin (0.5–2 V threshold); <0.8 V = normal operation; >2 V = disable control logic only. |
| SGND (11) | Small-signal ground | Must be routed separately to COUT (–) terminal to avoid noise coupling into feedback path. |
| PGND (12) | Power ground for drivers | Connects to N-MOSFET source and CIN (–); forms high-current return path for synchronous rectification. |
| NGATE (13) | N-channel MOSFET gate driver | Swings from GND to VCC; drives low-side switch with fast transition times (100–200 ns). |
| RGND (14) | LDO ground reference | Connects to power ground; separates LDO return from noisy power paths to stabilize VCC regulation. |
| SHDN2 (15) | Master shutdown input | 0.8–2 V threshold; high signal disables VCC and entire controller - used for system-level power-off sequencing. |
| CAP (16) | Charge compensation for level shift | Capacitor to VCC supplies charge for internal level-shift capacitor; must exceed PDRIVE bypass capacitance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC1149CS-5#PBF?
The LTC1149CS-5#PBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 60 V on the VIN pin (pin 2), with guaranteed operation up to 48 V. Operation at 48 V input is confirmed in the Typical Performance Characteristics (Figure 1 G01) and Electrical Characteristics tables, where efficiency and supply current data are specified at VIN = 48 V.
Does the LTC1149CS-5#PBF require an external feedback resistor divider?
No, the LTC1149CS-5#PBF does not require an external feedback resistor divider. As a fixed-output variant, it uses an internal resistive divider connected to SENSE– (pin 8) to regulate precisely to 5.05 V (typical). The SHDN1/VFB pin (pin 10) functions solely as a shutdown control input in this version.
How does Burst Mode™ operation improve efficiency at light loads in the LTC1149CS-5#PBF?
Burst Mode™ reduces the LTC1149CS-5#PBF's supply current to 0.6–0.9 mA at VIN = 12 V by disabling switching cycles when load current drops below the threshold required for continuous conduction. This cuts standby power to ~8 mW, significantly extending battery life in portable instruments and remote sensors without compromising regulation accuracy.
What is the purpose of the dual shutdown pins (SHDN1 and SHDN2) on the LTC1149CS-5#PBF?
SHDN1 (pin 10) disables only the control logic while leaving the internal 10 V VCC regulator active - useful for partial system sleep. SHDN2 (pin 15) shuts down VCC and all circuitry, reducing total current to 135–230 µA. This dual-control architecture enables flexible power sequencing in complex systems such as telecom line cards and industrial controllers.
Can the LTC1149CS-5#PBF drive both P-channel and N-channel MOSFETs directly?
Yes, the LTC1149CS-5#PBF provides dedicated gate drive outputs: PDRIVE (pin 4) and NGATE (pin 13) deliver high-current, fast-transition (100–200 ns) signals referenced to ground for N-MOSFETs, while PGATE (pin 1) provides level-shifted drive referenced to VIN for P-MOSFETs - eliminating need for external level-shifters or bootstrap circuits.
