Product details
Overview
LTC1433CGN#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic current-mode step-down DC/DC converter with dual P-channel MOSFETs, delivering up to 450mA output current, ±2.4% output voltage accuracy, and 93% peak efficiency. It operates from 3V to 13.5V input, supports adjustable or fixed 3.3V/5V outputs, and integrates low-battery detection and power-on reset-ideal for battery-powered RF modems and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1433CGN#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1433CGN#TRPBF pinout, LTC1433CGN#TRPBF application, or LTC1433CGN#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its adaptive power switching architecture, 16-pin narrow SSOP package, 125kHz typical oscillator frequency, dropout operation at 100% duty cycle, and compatibility with low-ESR tantalum or ceramic output capacitors in space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The LTC1433CGN#TRPBF uses constant-frequency current-mode control with internal error amplifier compensation at the ITH pin and dual P-channel MOSFETs (RDS(ON) = 4.1Ω small FET, 1.2Ω big FET at 10V). Its Adaptive Power™ stage selectively activates one or both switches based on load current to minimize gate charge and conduction losses.
It features integrated functions including a ±1% 1.19V reference, low-battery comparator with 1.19V trip threshold and 40mV hysteresis, power-on reset timer with 65536-cycle delay (≈300ms at 125kHz), and soft-start via RUN/SS pin with 3µA internal current source-enabling stable startup under varying input and load conditions without external timing components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3V to 13.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), dual-cell alkaline (3.0–3.6V), and wide-input industrial rails. |
| Output Current | Up to 450mA - sufficient for powering baseband processors, RF transceivers, or analog sensor signal chains. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±2.4% - ensures reliable regulation across line, load, and temperature for precision analog subsystems. |
| Quiescent Current | 470µA - enables multi-week battery life in always-on portable instruments with intermittent active cycles. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 112–142kHz (COSC = 100pF) - balances EMI, inductor size, and efficiency for compact PCB layouts. |
| Shutdown Current | 15µA - preserves battery charge during system sleep modes without requiring external load switches. |
| Dropout Operation | 100% duty cycle - maintains regulation down to VIN ≈ VOUT + ILOAD × RDS(ON), critical for end-of-discharge battery operation. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.19V ±1% - serves as stable feedback reference for both fixed and adjustable output configurations. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead narrow SSOP (GN), 0.15mm pitch, 5.0mm × 6.2mm footprint, JEDEC MS-013AC compliant. Thermal resistance θJA = 150°C/W.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SSW) | Drain of small P-MOSFET | Switches low-current loads; used alone below ~260mA peak inductor current to reduce gate loss. |
| 3 (BSW) | Drain of large P-MOSFET | Engages with SSW above 260mA peak current; parallel RDS(ON) reduces conduction loss at high load. |
| 5 (SGND) | Small-signal ground | Must be routed separately from PGND to avoid noise coupling into feedback and reference paths. |
| 6 (RUN/SS) | Soft-start & enable control | Capacitor to ground sets ramp time (~0.5s/µF); <1.3V disables all circuitry except LBI comparator. |
| 7 (LBO) | Low-battery open-drain output | Sinks current when LBI < 1.19V; requires external pull-up for MCU wake-up or display dimming logic. |
| 8 (LBI) | Low-battery comparator input | Monitors battery voltage against internal 1.19V reference; 40mV hysteresis prevents chatter near threshold. |
| 9 (VPROG) | Output voltage programming | GND → 3.3V, VIN → 5V, open → adjustable via external resistor divider at VOSENSE. |
| 10 (VOSENSE) | Feedback input | Connects to output (fixed) or divider midpoint (adjustable); high-impedance node sensitive to layout parasitics. |
| 11 (ITH) | Error amplifier output | Compensation point for loop stability; voltage controls peak inductor current threshold in current-mode control. |
| 12 (POR) | Power-on reset open-drain | Pulls low until output reaches −5% regulation, then releases after 65536 oscillator cycles (~300ms). |
| 13 (COSC) | Oscillator timing capacitor | 100pF sets ~125kHz; value scales inversely with frequency; PLL LPF pin tied to SGND for LTC1433. |
| 14 (SVIN) | Analog supply rail | Provides clean bias for control circuitry; decoupled separately from PWRVIN to suppress switching noise. |
| 15 (PGND) | Power switch ground | Return path for high di/dt switch currents; must connect directly to CIN(−) and Schottky cathode. |
| 16 (PWRVIN) | Power MOSFET supply | High-current input for internal switches; requires low-ESR bulk capacitance close to pin. |
| 2,4 (NC) | No connection | Not internally bonded; leave unconnected and unpopulated on PCB. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LTC1433CGN#TRPBF?
The LTC1433CGN#TRPBF delivers up to 450mA of continuous output current under typical conditions (TA = 25°C, VIN = 10V, VOUT = 3.3V). Actual achievable current depends on thermal design, input voltage, and output voltage-e.g., at VIN = 3.6V and VOUT = 3.3V, maximum output drops to ~300mA due to reduced headroom and increased conduction loss. The device's dual-PFET architecture maintains regulation across this range using 100% duty-cycle dropout mode.
How does the Adaptive Power™ feature improve efficiency in the LTC1433CGN#TRPBF?
The LTC1433CGN#TRPBF's Adaptive Power™ feature dynamically selects between its small (4.1Ω) and large (1.2Ω) internal P-channel MOSFETs based on load demand. Below ~260mA peak inductor current, only the small FET operates-reducing gate charge and switching losses. Above that threshold, both FETs engage to lower conduction loss. This dual-stage approach sustains >85% efficiency from 1mA to 450mA, significantly outperforming single-FET converters in battery-powered applications with variable load profiles.
Can the LTC1433CGN#TRPBF be used with an external resistor divider for adjustable output voltage?
Yes, the LTC1433CGN#TRPBF supports adjustable output voltage via an external resistor divider. When the VPROG pin is left open (DC), the VOSENSE pin connects to the midpoint of the divider, and the output follows VOUT = 1.19V × (1 + R2/R1). The datasheet specifies ±1% reference accuracy and <0.01%/V line regulation, enabling precise outputs such as 2.5V, 3.3V, or 5.0V. A 100pF capacitor across R1 is recommended to suppress noise coupling into the high-impedance VOSENSE node.
What is the function of the POR pin on the LTC1433CGN#TRPBF, and how is it used?
The POR (Power-On Reset) pin on the LTC1433CGN#TRPBF is an open-drain output that asserts low when the regulated output voltage deviates by more than 7.5% from target, and releases after 65536 oscillator cycles (~300ms at 125kHz) once regulation is restored. It requires an external pull-up resistor (typically 10kΩ to VCC) and interfaces directly with microcontroller reset inputs. Unlike many supervisors, POR remains active during shutdown, providing fail-safe reset signaling even when the main converter is disabled.
Does the LTC1433CGN#TRPBF require external components for basic operation, and what are the minimum required?
Yes, the LTC1433CGN#TRPBF requires external components for basic operation. Minimum required parts are: (1) input capacitor (≥10µF low-ESR ceramic/tantalum at PWRVIN), (2) output capacitor (≥100µF low-ESR tantalum or polymer at VOUT), (3) power inductor (22µH typical), (4) Schottky catch diode (e.g., MBRS130LT3), (5) COSC timing capacitor (100pF for ~125kHz), and (6) soft-start capacitor at RUN/SS (optional but recommended). No external compensation or feedback resistors are needed for fixed 3.3V/5V outputs.
