Product details
Overview
LTC1267CG-ADJ5 from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual synchronous step-down switching regulator controller with independent 3.3V and adjustable 5V outputs, 4V–40V input range, up to 95% efficiency, 400kHz max switching frequency, and constant off-time current-mode control-used in portable instrumentation and battery-powered digital systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1267CG-ADJ5 datasheet, LTC1267CG-ADJ5 pinout, LTC1267CG-ADJ5 application, or LTC1267CG-ADJ5 equivalent, key selection factors include dual-output voltage configuration, external MOSFET driver architecture, Burst Mode™ operation for light-load efficiency, programmable current limit via sense resistor, and 28-pin SSOP package compatibility.
Technical Context
The LTC1267CG-ADJ5 implements two independent constant off-time current-mode controllers-one fixed at 3.3V, one adjustable (via feedback divider) nominally at 5V-each driving complementary external P/N-channel MOSFETs. It supports 100% duty cycle for ultra-low dropout and uses separate shutdown pins (SHDN3, SHDN5, MSHDN) for micropower control.
Burst Mode™ operation reduces quiescent current to 20µA in shutdown while maintaining fast line/load transient response. The VCC3/VCC5 pins can be powered from regulated outputs to improve high-VIN efficiency, and output current is set by external sense resistors (e.g., 0.05Ω for 2A).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 40V - supports wide industrial and automotive supply rails without pre-regulation |
| Output Configuration | 3.3V fixed + adjustable 5V - enables dual-rail system power with single IC |
| Switching Frequency | Up to 400kHz - balances EMI, inductor size, and efficiency in compact layouts |
| Efficiency | Up to 95% - achieved via synchronous FET drive and Burst Mode™ at light loads |
| Shutdown Current | 20µA - enables long battery life in portable devices during standby |
| Duty Cycle Range | 0% to 100% - allows operation down to VIN ≈ VOUT for minimal dropout loss |
| Current Sensing | External resistor-based - permits precise, scalable overcurrent protection (e.g., 0.05Ω = 2A) |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin SSOP (0.209" width), RoHS-compliant, surface-mount.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output synchronous buck controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3717EGN | Single-channel, 2-phase interleaved controller; no integrated dual-output topology or Burst Mode™ | Requires two ICs for dual independent rails; better suited for high-current single-output designs | Choose LTC3717EGN only when >5A per rail is needed and board area allows dual IC placement |
| TPS54290RGTT | Dual-channel, but non-synchronous (external diode required); no 100% duty cycle; lower max VIN (32V) | Lacks light-load efficiency optimization and true dropout capability below 3.5V difference | Select TPS54290RGTT where cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency and dropout requirements |
Compared with LTC3717EGN and TPS54290RGTT, the LTC1267CG-ADJ5 uniquely delivers integrated dual independent outputs with Burst Mode™, 100% duty cycle, and 40V input tolerance-making it optimal for space- and battery-life-constrained dual-rail systems where both rails must operate reliably down to low input voltages.

FAQ
What output voltages does the LTC1267CG-ADJ5 support?
The LTC1267CG-ADJ5 provides one fixed 3.3V output and one adjustable output nominally configured for 5V via external feedback resistors. The adjustable channel supports output voltages from 1.25V to VIN – 1V, enabling custom rail generation. Both channels operate independently with separate current sensing and shutdown controls, and the LTC1267CG-ADJ5 datasheet specifies typical 3.3V/2A and 5V/2A operation using recommended MOSFETs and inductors.
Does the LTC1267CG-ADJ5 require external MOSFETs?
Yes, the LTC1267CG-ADJ5 is a controller-not an integrated power stage-and requires external complementary P-channel and N-channel MOSFETs for each output. Reference designs use Si9435DY (P-CH) and Si9410DY (N-CH) per channel. Gate drive strength, RDS(on), and thermal layout are user-selectable, allowing optimization for efficiency, size, or cost. The LTC1267CG-ADJ5 drives these FETs with dedicated PGATE/NGATE pins and supports bootstrap or direct VCC sourcing.
How does Burst Mode™ improve efficiency in the LTC1267CG-ADJ5?
Burst Mode™ in the LTC1267CG-ADJ5 reduces switching activity during light loads by skipping cycles while maintaining regulation, lowering quiescent current to ~20µA in shutdown and sustaining >85% efficiency at 1mA output. This extends battery life significantly in standby or intermittent-use applications. Unlike forced PWM, Burst Mode™ eliminates switching losses at low current, and the LTC1267CG-ADJ5 automatically engages it below ~10% load without external configuration.
Can the LTC1267CG-ADJ5 operate with input voltage close to the output voltage?
Yes, the LTC1267CG-ADJ5 supports 100% duty cycle operation, enabling dropout as low as 100mV-critical for battery-powered systems nearing end-of-discharge. When VIN drops within ~3.4V of the 3.3V output or ~5.1V of the 5V output, the high-side P-FET remains fully enhanced, eliminating switching losses. This behavior is inherent to the controller architecture and requires no external circuitry; the LTC1267CG-ADJ5 maintains regulation continuously across the full 4V–40V input range.
What is the function of the MSHDN pin on the LTC1267CG-ADJ5?
The MSHDN (Master Shutdown) pin on the LTC1267CG-ADJ5 provides global disable control: pulling MSHDN high (>2V) shuts down both regulator channels simultaneously, reducing total supply current to 20µA. It operates independently of SHDN3 and SHDN5, allowing hierarchical power management-e.g., system-level sleep initiated by MSHDN while individual rails retain local control via SHDN3/SHDN5. The LTC1267CG-ADJ5 datasheet confirms MSHDN overrides per-channel shutdown states and disables all gate drivers and bias circuits.
