Product details
Overview
LTC1149CS#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a synchronous step-down switching regulator controller driving external complementary P- and N-channel MOSFETs in constant off-time current-mode architecture. It supports 48V max input, delivers up to 2A output via external FETs, maintains ≥95% efficiency at full load, and features adaptive nonoverlap gate drives and logic-controlled micropower shutdown. It is used in battery-powered telecom power supplies requiring high efficiency across wide input ranges.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1149CS#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1149CS#TRPBF pinout, LTC1149CS#TRPBF application, or LTC1149CS#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 16-pin SOIC package, 10V internal VCC regulator, 25–170mV current sense threshold, Burst Mode™ operation down to ~600µA supply current, and compatibility with 3.3V/5V fixed-output variants LTC1149CS-3.3#TRPBF and LTC1149CS-5#TRPBF.
Technical Context
The LTC1149CS#TRPBF implements a constant off-time (COT) current-mode control architecture with automatic Burst Mode™ transition below ~15mV/RSENSE load current. Its off-time is set by an external CT capacitor and scales with VOUT to maintain stable ripple current across input voltage variations.
Onboard level-shifting circuitry enables PGATE drive referenced to VIN (not ground), while PDRIVE and NGATE outputs are ground-referenced for standard P- and N-MOSFET gate drive. The integrated 10V LDO (VCC) powers drivers and control logic, with dropout as low as 250mV at 10mA load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | –15V to 60V absolute max; functional range up to 48V for reliable operation |
| Output Voltage Options | Adjustable via external feedback divider; fixed 3.3V or 5V versions available (LTC1149CS-3.3#TRPBF / LTC1149CS-5#TRPBF) |
| Current Sense Threshold | 25mV (low trip) to 170mV (high trip); sets peak inductor current and short-circuit limit |
| Internal VCC Regulator | 10V ±0.25V output; powers gate drivers and control circuitry; 50mA max output current |
| Burst Mode Supply Current | 0.6–1.3mA at VIN = 12–48V; reduces standby power to ~8mW at 12V input |
| Shutdown Current | 135–520µA (VIN = 12–48V, SHDN2 = 2V); fully disables VCC and all switching |
| Off-Time (tOFF) | 3.8–6µs (CT = 390pF, ILOAD = 700mA); determines minimum on-time and frequency scaling |
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 P-MOSFET gate driver | Voltage swing from VIN to VIN – VCC; requires external charge compensation capacitor (CAP pin) |
| VIN (2) | Main power input | Accepts –15V to 60V; supplies PGATE and internal regulators |
| VCC (3) | 10V LDO output | Powers PDRIVE, NGATE, and control logic; not short-circuit protected |
| PDRIVE (4) | High-current P-MOSFET gate driver | Ground-referenced output; drives gate of P-channel FET via external level shift |
| VCC (5) | 10V LDO input | Must be decoupled to PGND with low-ESR ceramic capacitor |
| CT (6) | Timing capacitor connection | Sets off-time and operating frequency; discharge current proportional to VOUT |
| ITH (7) | Gain amplifier decoupling | Adjusts current comparator threshold; influences load transient response |
| SENSE– (8) | Current comparator (–) input / internal divider tap | Connects to internal resistor divider for fixed-output versions; also senses shunt voltage |
| SENSE+ (9) | Current comparator (+) input | Paired with SENSE– to detect voltage across RSENSE; built-in offset sets trip point |
| SHDN1/VFB (10) | Shutdown 1 / feedback input | Fixed-output: logic shutdown (0V = active); adjustable: feedback node for external divider |
| SGND (11) | Small-signal ground | Must be routed separately to COUT (–) to avoid noise coupling into feedback path |
| PGND (12) | Power ground for drivers | Connects to N-MOSFET source and CIN (–); carries high di/dt switching currents |
| NGATE (13) | N-MOSFET gate driver | Ground-referenced output; drives bottom N-channel FET with fast rise/fall times |
| RGND (14) | LDO ground | Connects to system power ground; separates LDO return from noisy PGND |
| SHDN2 (15) | Master shutdown input | Logic-high (>0.8V) disables VCC and all control; requires tr/tf < 1µs |
| CAP (16) | Charge compensation | Capacitor to VCC supplies charge for PGATE level-shift; must exceed PDRIVE capacitor value |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1149CS-5#TRPBF | Fixed 5V output; internal SENSE– divider replaces external feedback network; identical pinout and timing behavior | Eliminates external resistors for 5V designs; reduces BOM count but loses adjustability | Select when output voltage is fixed at 5V and board space is constrained |
| LTC1149CS-3.3#TRPBF | Fixed 3.3V output; same internal divider topology; shares all timing, protection, and thermal specs with LTC1149CS#TRPBF | Optimized for 3.3V logic rails; avoids resistor tolerance errors in feedback path | Select when output voltage is fixed at 3.3V and highest accuracy under varying load is required |
Compared with LTC1149CS-3.3#TRPBF and LTC1149CS-5#TRPBF, the LTC1149CS#TRPBF provides full output voltage adjustability via external resistors at the cost of two additional components-making it the only choice for non-standard voltages like 2.5V or 1.8V, while retaining identical efficiency, thermal performance, and protection features.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC1149CS#TRPBF?
The LTC1149CS#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 60V on the VIN pin, with guaranteed functional operation up to 48V. Operation beyond 48V risks exceeding safe operating area limits and may trigger internal protection circuits or cause permanent damage. Always observe derating guidelines per the datasheet's Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Does the LTC1149CS#TRPBF integrate MOSFETs or require external ones?
The LTC1149CS#TRPBF is a controller-only IC and requires external complementary P-channel and N-channel power MOSFETs. It does not integrate any power switches. The device drives these external FETs via dedicated PGATE, PDRIVE, and NGATE outputs, enabling optimized selection for voltage, current, and thermal requirements in each application.
How does Burst Mode™ operation work in the LTC1149CS#TRPBF?
In the LTC1149CS#TRPBF, Burst Mode™ activates automatically when load current drops below ~15mV/RSENSE. During this mode, the controller stops switching, holds both MOSFETs off, and reduces supply current to ~0.6–1.3mA. When output voltage droops due to load, a burst of switching cycles restores regulation-minimizing idle power without audible noise or excessive output ripple.
What is the purpose of the CAP pin (Pin 16) on the LTC1149CS#TRPBF?
The CAP pin on the LTC1149CS#TRPBF provides charge compensation for the internal level-shift capacitor used in PGATE generation. A capacitor connected from CAP to VCC supplies the transient current needed during VIN transients, preventing PGATE waveform distortion. Its value must exceed that of the PDRIVE decoupling capacitor to ensure reliable high-side drive.
Can the LTC1149CS#TRPBF be used with only an N-channel MOSFET (asynchronous configuration)?
No-the LTC1149CS#TRPBF is designed exclusively for synchronous buck topologies using complementary P- and N-channel MOSFETs. Its gate drive architecture, timing control, and current sensing rely on bidirectional inductor current flow and coordinated high-side/low-side switching. Using only an N-MOSFET with a diode would violate the controller's operational assumptions and likely cause instability or failure.
