Product details
Overview
LTC1265IS#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic step-down DC/DC converter with current-mode control, integrated 0.3Ω P-channel MOSFET switch (at VIN = 10V), Burst Mode™ operation, and low-battery detection. It delivers up to 1.2A output current at 5V from 5.4V–12V input, achieves up to 95% efficiency, and supports 100% duty cycle for low-dropout operation in battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1265IS#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1265IS#TRPBF pinout, LTC1265IS#TRPBF application, or LTC1265IS#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, confirmed SO-14 package mapping, validated pin roles (including SENSE+, SHDN, CT, LBOUT), exact output voltage specification (5V ±2%), and real-world design meaning of key parameters including 160µA sleep current, 15µA shutdown IQ, and 25mV current-sense threshold.
Technical Context
The LTC1265IS#TRPBF implements a constant off-time architecture where switching frequency varies with (VIN – VOUT); CT pin (Pin 5) sets off-time via external capacitor discharge proportional to VOUT. Its internal resistive divider fixes VOUT = 5V (LTC1265-5 variant), eliminating need for external feedback resistors.
Current sensing occurs differentially across SENSE+ (Pin 8) and SENSE– (Pin 7), with comparator threshold programmable between 25mV and 150mV relative to RSENSE. Low-battery detection uses dedicated LBIN (Pin 4) and open-drain LBOUT (Pin 3) with 1.25V internal reference and ±100mV trip tolerance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.0V ±2% (fixed, no external feedback required) |
| Max Output Current | 1.2A continuous (limited by internal 0.3Ω switch RDS(ON) at 10V) |
| Input Voltage Range | 5.4V to 12V (absolute max: –0.3V to 13V) |
| Quiescent Current | 160µA in sleep mode (Burst Mode active), enabling ultra-low-power standby |
| Shutdown Current | 5µA typical (VSHDN = VIN), supporting micropower system-level power gating |
| Current Sense Threshold | 25mV to 150mV across RSENSE, enabling precise peak-current limiting independent of inductor value |
| Low-Battery Trip | 1.25V ±0.1V reference at LBIN (Pin 4), allowing configurable battery cutoff via external resistor divider |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C (I-grade), qualified for industrial and portable equipment environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: 14-lead plastic SO (SO-14), surface-mount, JEDEC MS-012AC, θJA = 110°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PWR VIN (Pins 1, 13) | Power MOSFET driver supply rail | Must be decoupled locally to PGND; ties directly to internal high-side switch source; pins 1 and 13 must be shorted externally |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Main control circuit supply | Feeds bias and logic circuitry; separate from PWR VIN to isolate noise-sensitive analog blocks |
| LBOUT (Pin 3) | Open-drain low-battery indicator output | Sinks current when LBIN < 1.25V; high-impedance during shutdown; requires external pull-up for logic-level signaling |
| LBIN (Pin 4) | Inverting input of low-battery comparator | Accepts voltage-divided battery signal; 0.5µA input bias enables high-resistance divider networks |
| CT (Pin 5) | Off-time timing capacitor node | External capacitor (e.g., 130pF) sets switch off-time; discharge current scales with VOUT to maintain stable frequency vs. input |
| ITH (Pin 6) | Current comparator threshold reference | Voltage at this pin sets trip point for SENSE+/- comparator; decoupling improves transient response |
| SENSE– (Pin 7) | Current comparator negative input / VOUT divider tap | Connects to bottom of RSENSE and internal 5V divider; defines both current limit and regulated output |
| SENSE+ (Pin 8) | Current comparator positive input | Connects to top of RSENSE; differential voltage vs. Pin 7 triggers switch turn-off |
| N/C, VFB (Pin 9) | No-connect (fixed 5V version) | Not used on LTC1265IS#TRPBF; reserved for adjustable-output LTC1265 variant |
| SHDN (Pin 10) | Active-high micropower shutdown enable | Logic-high (>1.2V) forces shutdown; draws <0.5µA; must not float - tie to GND or active controller |
| SGND (Pin 11) | Small-signal ground reference | Return path for feedback, CT, and LB circuits; must route separately from PGND to COUT (–) terminal |
| PGND (Pin 12) | Power ground return | Switch driver return; connects to cathode of Schottky diode and (–) of CIN; minimize trace inductance |
| SW (Pin 14) | Drain of internal P-channel MOSFET | Switching node; connects to inductor and Schottky anode; requires tight layout to reduce EMI and ringing |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the LTC1265IS#TRPBF?
The LTC1265IS#TRPBF is the fixed 5V version (LTC1265-5) with output voltage specified as 4.9V to 5.2V (±2%) over full load (10mA–800mA) and temperature (–40°C to +85°C). This tolerance is guaranteed by internal laser-trimmed resistive divider and does not require external components. The LTC1265IS#TRPBF maintains regulation even at 100% duty cycle when input drops near 5V.
Does the LTC1265IS#TRPBF require an external feedback resistor network?
No. The LTC1265IS#TRPBF is the fixed 5V variant (LTC1265-5) and uses an internal resistive divider connected to SENSE– (Pin 7) to set output voltage. Pin 9 (VFB) is no-connect. External resistors are only required for the adjustable-output LTC1265 variant. This simplifies layout and eliminates resistor tolerance-induced output error in the LTC1265IS#TRPBF.
How does the low-battery detection function on the LTC1265IS#TRPBF?
The LTC1265IS#TRPBF uses LBIN (Pin 4) as the inverting input to an internal 1.25V reference comparator. When the voltage at LBIN falls below 1.25V ±100mV, LBOUT (Pin 3) pulls low (open-drain). An external resistor divider from VIN to GND sets the trip point (e.g., 1.25 × (1 + R4/R3)). During shutdown, LBOUT goes high-impedance. This function is fully integrated - no external comparator or reference needed for the LTC1265IS#TRPBF.
What is the maximum recommended operating frequency for the LTC1265IS#TRPBF?
The LTC1265IS#TRPBF operates up to ~700kHz under typical conditions (e.g., VIN = 9V, VOUT = 5V, CT = 130pF), but its constant off-time architecture causes frequency to decrease as (VIN – VOUT) shrinks. At VIN = 6V, frequency drops to ~400kHz; near dropout (VIN ≈ 5.2V), it falls further to avoid audible noise. The LTC1265IS#TRPBF does not specify a hard upper limit - instead, efficiency degrades above ~600kHz due to increased gate charge losses.
Can the LTC1265IS#TRPBF be used in synchronous rectification configurations?
No. The LTC1265IS#TRPBF integrates only a P-channel high-side MOSFET switch and requires an external Schottky catch diode (e.g., MBRS130LT3) connected between SW (Pin 14) and PGND (Pin 12). It does not provide gate drive signals for a synchronous low-side FET. Synchronous operation would require replacing the diode with an actively controlled N-channel MOSFET and adding external timing/control - which is unsupported by the LTC1265IS#TRPBF's pinout and internal architecture.
