Product details
Overview
LTC1622CMS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a low-input-voltage, constant-frequency current-mode step-down DC/DC controller designed for high-efficiency power conversion in battery-powered systems. It operates from 2V to 10V input, delivers multiampere output currents, features ±1.9% reference accuracy, 550kHz nominal switching frequency, and supports Burst Mode™ operation for ultra-low quiescent current (350µA) in light-load conditions - ideal for Li-ion–powered portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1622CMS8#PBF datasheet, LTC1622CMS8#PBF pinout, LTC1622CMS8#PBF application, or LTC1622CMS8#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 8-lead MSOP package, P-channel MOSFET gate drive capability, OPTI-LOOP™ compensation, undervoltage lockout at 1.92V (typ), and synchronization up to 750kHz - all critical for compact, high-efficiency buck converter designs with tight input voltage margins.
Technical Context
The LTC1622CMS8#PBF implements a current-mode control architecture with an internal 0.8V reference, error amplifier, and peak-current comparator referenced to the SENSE– pin. Its ITH pin serves as the error amplifier output and modulates the current-sense threshold, enabling OPTI-LOOP™ compensation for stable transient response across diverse output capacitor types.
It integrates dual operating modes: continuous conduction mode (CCM) with fixed 550kHz (±15%) oscillator, and selectable Burst Mode™ operation (enabled via SYNC/MODE ≥2V) that reduces switching activity at light loads to maintain >85% efficiency down to 1mA load - while suppressing RF interference through synchronized clock disable during Burst Mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 2V to 10V - enables direct regulation from single- or dual-cell Li-ion batteries without pre-regulation. |
| Switching Frequency | 550kHz (typ), adjustable up to 750kHz via SYNC/MODE - permits use of sub-5mm inductors and minimizes output ripple. |
| Reference Voltage | 0.8V ±1.9% - sets precise output voltage via external resistor divider; stable over temperature (±0.005V drift from –45°C to 85°C). |
| Quiescent Current | 350µA (Burst Mode active) - extends battery runtime in standby; drops to 15µA in shutdown. |
| UVLO Threshold | 1.92V (typ, falling edge) - prevents erratic operation below safe Li-ion discharge voltage. |
| Output Accuracy | ±1.9% over line, load, and temperature - ensures reliable system-level voltage margining for 2.5V/1.8V logic rails. |
| Package | 8-Lead MSOP (3mm × 3mm) - provides thermal resistance θJA = 250°C/W for compact, thermally constrained PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic MSOP (MS8), 3mm × 3mm body, 0.65mm lead pitch, exposed pad (not electrically connected). Thermal performance optimized for surface-mount power delivery on 2-layer boards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SENSE– (1) | Negative current sense input | Connects to low-side of RSENSE; sets peak inductor current threshold with ITH voltage - enables accurate current limiting and CCM stability. |
| ITH (2) | Error amplifier output / compensation node | Controls current comparator threshold; used for OPTI-LOOP™ compensation - determines loop bandwidth and transient response without output capacitor dependency. |
| VFB (3) | Feedback input | Monitors resistive divider output; servo-controlled to 0.8V - defines regulated output voltage as VOUT = 0.8V × (1 + R1/R2). |
| RUN/SS (4) | Soft-start and shutdown control | Internal 2.5µA current source charges CSS for controlled startup; <0.4V forces 15µA shutdown - enables power sequencing and inrush current limiting. |
| SYNC/MODE (5) | Mode selection and sync input | ≥2V enables Burst Mode™; grounded or clocked (625–750kHz) disables Burst Mode and synchronizes switching - eliminates beat frequencies in multi-rail systems. |
| GND (6) | Analog and power ground | Common return for feedback, current sense, and gate drive - must be tied to low-impedance ground plane beneath IC for noise immunity. |
| PDRV (7) | P-channel MOSFET gate driver | 0V to VIN swing, 140ns max fall time - drives logic-level P-MOSFETs with minimal dead-time loss; supports dropout operation (100% duty cycle). |
| VIN (8) | Main power supply input | Accepts 2V–10V; requires local 10µF ceramic decoupling - powers internal circuitry and supplies gate drive energy for external MOSFET. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Burst Mode™ Operation | Reduces quiescent current to 350µA and maintains >85% efficiency at 1mA load - extends battery life in intermittent-use devices like wireless modems. |
| OPTI-LOOP™ Compensation | Enables stable loop response with ceramic, POSCAP, or polymer output capacitors - eliminates need for ESR-based compensation networks. |
| Low Dropout (100% Duty Cycle) | Allows VOUT regulation even when VIN ≈ VOUT + VDS(ON) + IOUT×RSENSE - critical for maintaining 2.5V rail during Li-ion discharge to 2.8V. |
| Synchronization Capability | Accepts 625–750kHz TTL/CMOS clock on SYNC/MODE - eliminates switching noise coupling in sensitive RF sections of cellular handsets. |
| Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) | Shuts down at VIN < 1.92V (typ) - prevents brownout-induced system resets and protects battery from deep discharge. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage for reliable operation of the LTC1622CMS8#PBF?
The LTC1622CMS8#PBF has a guaranteed undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold of 1.92V (typical) with hysteresis, and begins regulation at VIN ≥2.0V. Below 1.92V, the device shuts down completely, drawing only ~4µA. This makes LTC1622CMS8#PBF uniquely suited for single-cell Li-ion systems operating down to end-of-discharge voltage.
Does the LTC1622CMS8#PBF support 100% duty cycle operation, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the LTC1622CMS8#PBF supports true 100% duty cycle (dropout) operation: when VIN approaches VOUT, the PDRV pin remains high continuously, turning the external P-channel MOSFET fully ON. This is achieved by the internal control logic overriding the oscillator when inductor current fails to reach the ITH-set threshold - ensuring uninterrupted output regulation even at VIN = VOUT + VDS(ON) + IOUT×RSENSE. The LTC1622CMS8#PBF datasheet confirms this behavior under "Dropout Operation".
How does Burst Mode™ operation affect electromagnetic interference (EMI) in the LTC1622CMS8#PBF?
Burst Mode™ operation in the LTC1622CMS8#PBF reduces average switching frequency at light loads, which lowers conducted EMI in the 150kHz–1MHz range. However, the device automatically inhibits Burst Mode™ when SYNC/MODE is pulled low or driven by an external clock - enabling deterministic, low-noise operation in RF-sensitive applications. This dual-mode capability makes LTC1622CMS8#PBF suitable for both battery-life-critical and EMI-sensitive designs.
What is the purpose of the ITH pin on the LTC1622CMS8#PBF, and how is it used in compensation?
The ITH pin on the LTC1622CMS8#PBF is the output of the internal error amplifier and directly controls the current-sense threshold for the peak-current comparator. For OPTI-LOOP™ compensation, a series RC network is connected from ITH to GND - setting dominant pole location independent of output capacitor ESR. This allows stable loop response with low-ESR ceramics or polymer caps, unlike traditional Type-II compensation. The LTC1622CMS8#PBF application note details exact component values based on desired crossover frequency and phase margin.
Can the LTC1622CMS8#PBF be synchronized to an external clock, and what are the valid frequency and signal requirements?
Yes, the LTC1622CMS8#PBF can be synchronized to an external TTL/CMOS-compatible clock applied to the SYNC/MODE pin. Valid synchronization range is 625kHz to 750kHz; frequencies below 625kHz may cause abnormal operation. The clock must have ≥100ns pulse width and rise/fall times <20ns. Synchronization is disabled if VFB < 0.3V (e.g., during short-circuit), and Burst Mode™ is automatically deactivated during sync - ensuring predictable timing in multi-rail systems using LTC1622CMS8#PBF.
