Product details
Overview
LTC1149CS-5#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a synchronous step-down switching regulator controller driving external complementary P- and N-channel MOSFETs for fixed 5V output. It operates from 4.5V to 48V input, delivers up to 2A load current, achieves 95% peak efficiency, and features Burst Mode™ operation for ultralow quiescent current (0.6–0.9mA) at light loads.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1149CS-5#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1149CS-5#TRPBF pinout, LTC1149CS-5#TRPBF application, or LTC1149CS-5#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its constant off-time current-mode architecture, 5V fixed-output regulation with ±2% tolerance, 16-pin narrow SOIC package, and dual shutdown control (SHDN1/SHDN2) enabling precise power sequencing in battery-powered and industrial DC/DC systems.
Technical Context
The LTC1149CS-5#TRPBF implements a constant off-time, current-mode control architecture with adaptive nonoverlap gate drives and internal 10V LDO for MOSFET biasing. Its feedback loop uses an internal resistive divider tied to SENSE– (Pin 8), eliminating external resistors for 5V regulation.
Burst Mode™ operation activates below ~70mA load, reducing supply current to 0.6mA (VIN = 12V) and standby power to ~8mW. The device supports synchronous rectification via dedicated PGATE (Pin 1), PDRIVE (Pin 4), and NGATE (Pin 13) outputs with level-shifted high-side drive and ground-referenced low-side drive.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.05V nominal (4.9–5.2V over load/temp); enables direct 5V rail generation without feedback resistor network. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 48V (60V absolute max); supports wide-input industrial, telecom, and avionics power buses. |
| Peak Efficiency | 95% at VIN = 12V, IOUT = 1A; achieved via synchronous FET switching and adaptive nonoverlap timing. |
| Quiescent Current | 0.6–0.9mA in Burst Mode™ (VIN = 12V); extends battery life in portable instruments and notebook standby modes. |
| Shutdown Current | 135–230µA (VIN = 12V, SHDN2 high); ensures near-zero power draw during system sleep states. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 130–170mV (high threshold); sets peak inductor current and short-circuit protection level with external RSENSE. |
| Off-Time | 3.8–6µs (CT = 390pF); determines minimum switching frequency and dropout behavior under light loads. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead narrow SOIC (S package), 1.27mm pitch, JEDEC MS-012AC, θJA = 110°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PGATE (1) | Level-shifted high-side gate driver | Swings from VIN to (VIN – VCC); directly drives P-channel MOSFET gate referenced to input rail. |
| VIN (2) | Main power input | Accepts 4.5–48V; powers internal LDO and provides source for high-side switch. |
| VCC (3,5) | Internal 10V LDO output/input | Pin 3 supplies 10V ±0.25V @ 50mA; Pin 5 is its input-must be decoupled to PGND. |
| PDRIVE (4) | High-current P-MOSFET gate driver | Swings 0–10V; drives gate of P-channel MOSFET with fast transition times (100–200ns). |
| CT (6) | Timing capacitor connection | Sets off-time and operating frequency; CT = 390pF yields ~250kHz at VIN = 12V, VOUT = 5V. |
| SENSE– (8) | Fixed-output voltage sense / current comparator (–) | Internally connected to 5V divider; also serves as low-side current sense input for overcurrent protection. |
| SENSE+ (9) | Current comparator (+) | Paired with SENSE– to detect voltage across external RSENSE; built-in offset enables accurate current limiting. |
| SHDN1/VFB (10) | Secondary shutdown / feedback | In LTC1149CS-5#TRPBF, functions as logic-controlled shutdown (0.5–2V threshold); VCC remains active. |
| SHDN2 (15) | Master shutdown | Shuts down entire IC including VCC when >0.8V applied; requires fast edge (<1µs) for reliable entry/exit. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant off-time current-mode control | Ensures stable ripple current across input range; simplifies EMI filtering and inductor selection. |
| Burst Mode™ operation | Reduces no-load input current to 0.6mA and standby power to ~8mW at VIN = 12V. |
| Synchronous FET switching | Eliminates external Schottky diode losses; improves full-load efficiency by 3–5% vs. asynchronous designs. |
| Adaptive nonoverlap gate drives | Prevents shoot-through by dynamically adjusting dead time between P- and N-MOSFET conduction. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3866EMSE#TRPBF | Higher integration: includes MOSFET drivers, 0.6V reference, and PMBus interface; supports adjustable output (0.6–5V). | Requires external feedback resistors; better suited for multi-rail systems needing programmability and telemetry. | Select LTC3866EMSE#TRPBF when digital monitoring, tighter output tolerance (±0.5%), or adjustable VOUT are required. |
| TPS54260DGQR | Integrated high/low-side MOSFETs; 3.5–60V input; fixed 5V option available (TPS54260DGQR-5); lower IQ (146µA) but no Burst Mode™. | No external FETs needed; simpler BOM but limited to 2.5A max; less efficient above 24V due to integrated FET RDS(ON). | Select TPS54260DGQR-5 when board space is critical and input stays ≤36V; avoid for 48V industrial use due to thermal limits. |
Compared with LTC1149CS-5#TRPBF, LTC3866EMSE#TRPBF offers programmability and telemetry at higher cost and complexity, while TPS54260DGQR-5 trades external FET flexibility for integration and reduced component count-neither matches the 48V input capability and Burst Mode™ efficiency of the LTC1149CS-5#TRPBF in wide-range, battery-sensitive applications.

FAQ
What is the function of Pin 10 (SHDN1/VFB) on the LTC1149CS-5#TRPBF?
On the LTC1149CS-5#TRPBF, Pin 10 serves exclusively as SHDN1-a logic-controlled shutdown input with 0.5–2V threshold. When pulled high (>0.8V), it disables the control circuitry and turns off both external MOSFETs, while leaving the internal 10V VCC regulator active. This allows selective power gating without disrupting auxiliary bias rails. The LTC1149CS-5#TRPBF does not use Pin 10 for feedback, as its 5V output is internally fixed via SENSE– (Pin 8).
Does the LTC1149CS-5#TRPBF require external MOSFETs, and what are the key selection criteria?
Yes, the LTC1149CS-5#TRPBF requires external complementary P- and N-channel MOSFETs. For the P-MOSFET: select RDS(ON) < 50mΩ at VGS = 10V, VGS(TH) < 4V (standard threshold), and breakdown voltage > 60V. For the N-MOSFET: choose RDS(ON) < 25mΩ at VGS = 10V, VGS(TH) < 2.5V if VIN may drop below 8V, and same 60V+ breakdown. The LTC1149CS-5#TRPBF drives both with adaptive nonoverlap timing to prevent shoot-through.
How does Burst Mode™ operation improve efficiency at light loads in the LTC1149CS-5#TRPBF?
Burst Mode™ reduces the LTC1149CS-5#TRPBF's input supply current from 2.0–3.2mA (normal mode) to 0.6–1.05mA at light loads (<70mA), cutting standby power to ~8mW at VIN = 12V. It achieves this by disabling switching cycles entirely until output voltage droops beyond hysteresis, then delivering a short energy burst. This eliminates switching losses and gate drive power, making the LTC1149CS-5#TRPBF ideal for battery-powered devices with intermittent operation.
What is the maximum continuous output current supported by the LTC1149CS-5#TRPBF, and how is it determined?
The LTC1149CS-5#TRPBF supports up to 2A continuous output current, as verified in the Typical Performance Characteristics (Figure 1 Circuit, VOUT = 5V/2A). This limit is set by the current sense threshold (130–170mV) and external RSENSE value-e.g., RSENSE = 0.05Ω yields IMAX ≈ 150mV / 0.05Ω = 3A peak, with practical continuous rating constrained by thermal design and MOSFET selection. The datasheet confirms stable 2A operation with IRFR9024/IRFR024 FETs and proper heatsinking.
Can the LTC1149CS-5#TRPBF operate with input voltages below 5V, and what is its minimum dropout voltage?
The LTC1149CS-5#TRPBF requires a minimum input voltage of 4.5V to maintain regulation, per Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics. Its very low dropout operation supports 100% duty cycle: when VIN approaches VOUT, the P-channel MOSFET remains fully on, allowing regulation down to VIN = VOUT + 0.5V (e.g., 5.5V in for 5V out) with minimal voltage drop across the external FET's RDS(ON). Below 4.5V, the internal 10V LDO cannot sustain gate drive, causing loss of regulation.
