Product details
Overview
LTC1433IGN#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic current-mode step-down DC/DC converter delivering up to 450mA output with ±2.4% voltage accuracy, 3V–13.5V input range, and internal 0.6Ω P-channel power switches. It operates at fixed 112–142kHz frequency, supports low-dropout 100% duty cycle, and integrates low-battery detection and power-on reset-ideal for portable RF modems and battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1433IGN#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1433IGN#TRPBF pinout, LTC1433IGN#TRPBF application, or LTC1433IGN#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-PFET Adaptive Power architecture, 470µA quiescent current, ±1% reference accuracy, 16-lead narrow SSOP package, and compatibility with 3.3V/5V/adjustable output configurations via VPROG pin.
Technical Context
The LTC1433IGN#TRPBF employs constant-frequency current-mode control with two internal P-channel MOSFETs (RDS(ON) = 3.3Ω small FET, 0.8Ω big FET at 10V), dynamically selecting between them based on load current to maintain high efficiency across light-to-heavy loads. Its Adaptive Power stage reduces switching losses below 260mA peak inductor current.
It features a 1.19V precision reference, integrated POR timer (65536 cycles ≈300ms), open-drain LBO and POR outputs, soft-start via RUN/SS pin, and VOSENSE feedback with external resistor divider support. The device lacks PLL circuitry-distinguishing it from the LTC1434 variant-and uses COSC pin to set oscillator frequency without synchronization capability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | Up to 450mA continuous-supports compact power rails in space-constrained portable devices. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3V to 13.5V-enables direct operation from single Li-ion, multi-cell alkaline, or intermediate bus supplies. |
| Efficiency | Up to 93% at 3.3V out / 5V in-minimizes thermal load and extends battery runtime in handheld instruments. |
| Quiescent Current | 470µA normal mode; 15µA shutdown-critical for always-on monitoring circuits with long standby periods. |
| Reference Accuracy | ±1% over temperature-ensures stable regulation for precision analog subsystems and ADC references. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 112–142kHz (COSC = 100pF)-balances EMI control, inductor size, and gate loss for portable designs. |
| Dropout Operation | 100% duty cycle enabled-maintains regulation down to VIN ≈ VOUT + IOUT × RDS(ON), supporting brownout resilience. |
| Package | 16-lead narrow SSOP (GN)-0.65mm pitch, surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead narrow plastic SSOP (GN), 5.0mm × 6.2mm body, 0.65mm lead pitch, JEDEC MO-153 compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SSW (Pin 1) | Drain of small P-channel MOSFET | Carries up to 300mA peak; used alone under light loads to reduce switching/gate losses. |
| BSW (Pin 3) | Drain of large P-channel MOSFET | Carries up to 1.2A peak; activated above 260mA inductor current for high-efficiency heavy-load operation. |
| SGND (Pin 5) | Small-signal ground | Must be routed separately from PGND to minimize noise coupling into feedback and reference paths. |
| RUN/SS (Pin 6) | Soft-start and enable control | Pulling <1.3V disables all circuitry except LBI comparator; capacitor to ground sets ramp time (~0.5s/µF). |
| LBO (Pin 7) | Open-drain low-battery output | Sinks current when LBI falls below 1.19V ±40mV hysteresis-signals system-level battery exhaustion. |
| LBI (Pin 8) | Low-battery comparator input | Compares against internal 1.19V reference; grounding with RUN/SS disables comparator and shuts down entire IC. |
| VPROG (Pin 9) | Output voltage programming | 0V → 3.3V output; VIN → 5V output; open → adjustable via external resistor divider on VOSENSE. |
| VOSENSE (Pin 10) | Feedback voltage input | Connects to output (fixed) or divider midpoint (adjustable); error amplifier compares to 1.19V reference. |
| ITH (Pin 11) | Error amplifier compensation node | Controls peak current threshold; nominal 0–2.4V range-used for loop compensation and current limit setting. |
| POR (Pin 12) | Open-drain power-on reset output | Pulls low until VOUT reaches within 5% of regulation, then releases after 65536 oscillator cycles (~300ms). |
| COSC (Pin 13) | Oscillator timing capacitor | External capacitor sets frequency (112–142kHz typ); no PLL-unlike LTC1434, no synchronization capability. |
| SVIN (Pin 14) | Control circuit supply | Provides bias for internal logic, comparators, and error amp; decoupled separately from PWRVIN. |
| PGND (Pin 15) | Switch driver ground | Return path for high-current MOSFET drivers and catch diode anode-must connect near CIN negative terminal. |
| PWRVIN (Pin 16) | Power MOSFET supply | Direct connection to input source for high-side switches; requires local ceramic decoupling to PGND. |
| NC (Pins 2, 4) | No connection | Not internally bonded-must remain unconnected per datasheet; no routing or thermal relief required. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down DC/DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1434IGN#TRPBF | Includes PLLIN/PLL LPF pins for external clock synchronization; otherwise identical pinout, specs, and performance. | Required only when system-level clock domain alignment (e.g., to MCU or RF synthesizer) is needed. | Select LTC1434IGN#TRPBF if phase-locking to external clock is mandatory; otherwise LTC1433IGN#TRPBF offers same regulation with simpler layout. |
| TPS62231DRYR | Higher 3MHz switching frequency, smaller external components, but lower 300mA output current and no low-battery detector. | Suitable for ultra-compact designs where size outweighs battery-monitoring needs and load current ≤300mA. | Choose TPS62231DRYR for space-constrained consumer wearables; LTC1433IGN#TRPBF remains preferred for industrial portable instruments needing LBI and 450mA drive. |
Compared with LTC1434IGN#TRPBF, the LTC1433IGN#TRPBF omits synchronization circuitry-reducing component count and EMI sensitivity-while matching all regulation, efficiency, and protection features. Against TPS62231DRYR, it trades higher frequency for greater output current, integrated battery monitoring, and wider input range-making it more suitable for ruggedized portable equipment.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LTC1433IGN#TRPBF?
The LTC1433IGN#TRPBF delivers up to 450mA of continuous output current under typical conditions (VIN ≥ 5V, TA = 25°C). Peak current capability depends on thermal design and input voltage-e.g., at VIN = 3.6V, max output drops to ~350mA due to reduced headroom and higher RDS(ON). Derating is required above 70°C ambient per θJA = 150°C/W.
Does the LTC1433IGN#TRPBF support adjustable output voltage?
Yes, the LTC1433IGN#TRPBF supports adjustable output voltage via the VOSENSE and VPROG pins. When VPROG is left open (DC), VOSENSE connects to an external resistor divider across the output, enabling regulation at any voltage ≥1.19V using the formula VOUT = 1.19V × (1 + R2/R1). Fixed 3.3V and 5V outputs are selected by pulling VPROG to GND or VIN respectively.
How does the Adaptive Power feature improve efficiency in the LTC1433IGN#TRPBF?
The Adaptive Power feature in the LTC1433IGN#TRPBF automatically selects between its internal small and large P-channel MOSFETs based on load demand. Below ~260mA peak inductor current, only the small FET (RDS(ON) = 3.3Ω) operates-reducing gate charge and switching losses. Above that threshold, both FETs engage, leveraging the low 0.8Ω RDS(ON) of the large FET for high-current efficiency-yielding >85% efficiency from 10µA to 450mA.
What is the function of the POR pin on the LTC1433IGN#TRPBF?
The POR (Power-On Reset) pin on the LTC1433IGN#TRPBF is an open-drain output that pulls low whenever the regulated output voltage deviates by more than 7.5% from target, or during startup/shutdown. After VOUT stabilizes within 5% of regulation, an internal 65536-cycle timer (≈300ms at 125kHz) elapses before POR releases-providing a clean, debounced reset signal for connected microcontrollers or FPGAs without external timing components.
Can the LTC1433IGN#TRPBF operate in dropout mode, and what happens to regulation?
Yes, the LTC1433IGN#TRPBF supports 100% duty-cycle dropout operation. As input voltage decreases toward the output level, the controller holds the P-channel MOSFETs fully on, causing VOUT to track VIN minus IOUT × RDS(ON). Regulation degrades linearly in this region, but the device continues supplying current without shutdown-enabling graceful operation down to VIN ≈ VOUT + 450mA × 0.6Ω ≈ VOUT + 0.27V, critical for Li-ion battery end-of-discharge scenarios.
