Product details
Overview
LTC1625IGN#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a synchronous step-down switching regulator controller that drives external N-channel MOSFETs without requiring a current-sense resistor. It operates from 3.7V to 36V input, delivers adjustable output from 1.19V to VIN, features ±1% 1.19V reference, 150kHz nominal oscillator, and Burst Mode™ operation for high efficiency at light loads - used in notebook power supplies and battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1625IGN#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1625IGN#TRPBF pinout, LTC1625IGN#TRPBF application, or LTC1625IGN#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include VDS-based current sensing architecture, forced continuous mode control via FCB pin, INTVCC/EXTVCC dual-supply flexibility, 16-lead SSOP package thermal performance (θJA = 130°C/W), and industrial-grade –40°C to +85°C operating range.
Technical Context
The LTC1625IGN#TRPBF implements current-mode control using MOSFET VDS sensing to eliminate RSENSE, with ITH pin voltage (0–2.4V) directly setting peak inductor current threshold. Its internal 5.2V LDO powers gate drivers and logic, while EXTVCC switchover (4.5–4.7V threshold) enables high-efficiency self-biasing from converter outputs.
Synchronization is supported via SYNC pin with 1.5:1 lock range (100–225kHz), and fault protection includes foldback current limiting (150mV → 30mV clamp) and output overvoltage lockout (1.24–1.32V). Burst Mode operation activates when ITH drops below 0.95V, disabling switching until load demand raises ITH above 0.5V hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.7V to 36V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive battery systems without external pre-regulation |

Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead narrow plastic SSOP (GN), 0.150" body width, exposed pad not specified, JEDEC MS-013AC compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EXTVCC (1) | INTVCC supply switch input | Enables efficient self-biasing from VOUT or auxiliary rail when ≥4.7V; clamps at 7V max |
| SYNC (2) | Oscillator synchronization input | Accepts external clock (100–225kHz); open or grounded = 150kHz; >1.2V = 225kHz |
| RUN/SS (3) | Enable and soft-start control | Logic-low shutdown (<0.8V); external capacitor sets ramp time (~1s/µF) |
| FCB (4) | Forced continuous mode control | Ground = disable Burst Mode; INTVCC = enable Burst Mode; resistive divider enables secondary-winding regulation |
| ITH (5) | Error amplifier compensation node | 0–2.4V voltage sets peak inductor current threshold; direct interface for loop compensation |
| SGND (6) | Signal ground reference | Return path for feedback network and error amplifier; must be star-connected to COUT (–) |
| VOSENSE (7) | Output voltage feedback input | High-impedance sense node for remote sensing or resistive divider; 10–50nA bias current |
| VPROG (8) | Output voltage selection | Open = adjustable via VOSENSE divider; 0V = 3.3V; INTVCC = 5V - eliminates external programming resistors |
| VIN (16) | Main input supply | 3.7–36V input; requires RC filter (4.7Ω/0.1µF) for >3A applications to suppress noise |
| TK (15) | Top MOSFET Kelvin sense | Direct connection to top MOSFET drain - separates sense path from power VIN to minimize VDS measurement error |
| SW (14) | Switch node | Connects to inductor and bootstrap capacitor (–); swings from ~–0.7V to VIN |
| TG (13) | Top gate driver output | Drives top N-MOSFET gate with swing = INTVCC – diode drop, referenced to SW node |
| BOOST (12) | Bootstrap capacitor (+) terminal | Swings from ~INTVCC – 0.7V to VIN + INTVCC - supplies floating gate drive for high-side MOSFET |
| INTVCC (11) | Internal 5.2V regulator output | Powers gate drivers and internal circuitry; requires ≥4.7µF tantalum decoupling to PGND |
| BG (10) | Bottom gate driver output | Drives bottom N-MOSFET gate between PGND and INTVCC - synchronous rectification control |
| PGND (9) | Power ground return | Source connection for bottom MOSFET, CVCC (–), and CIN (–); separate from SGND to avoid noise coupling |

| Forced continuous mode control | FCB pin allows disabling Burst Mode to maintain regulation on secondary windings in flyback-derived topologies |
| Output overvoltage protection | Hardware comparator triggers immediate top-FET turn-off if VOUT exceeds 1.24–1.32V - prevents downstream IC damage |
| Logic-controlled micropower shutdown | IQ < 30µA in shutdown with full functionality retention - critical for battery runtime in portable systems |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC1625IGN#TRPBF?
The LTC1625IGN#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 36V on the VIN and TK pins. Operation is specified from 3.7V to 36V, with a minimum of 3.9V required at –40°C for industrial-grade parts. Exceeding 36V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Does the LTC1625IGN#TRPBF require an external current-sense resistor?
No, the LTC1625IGN#TRPBF does not require an external current-sense resistor. It uses MOSFET VDS sensing via the TK pin to measure inductor current, eliminating sense-resistor power loss and board area. This architecture is confirmed in the device description, features list, and functional diagram.
How is output voltage programmed on the LTC1625IGN#TRPBF?
The LTC1625IGN#TRPBF supports three output voltage configurations: leaving VPROG open enables adjustment via external resistor divider on VOSENSE; tying VPROG to 0V selects 3.3V output; connecting VPROG to INTVCC selects 5V output. The 1.19V internal reference remains fixed regardless of selection.
What thermal performance can be expected from the LTC1625IGN#TRPBF in SSOP package?
The LTC1625IGN#TRPBF in 16-lead narrow SSOP (GN) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 130°C/W under standard JEDEC test conditions. This value assumes proper PCB copper area and airflow; actual performance depends on layout, heatsinking, and ambient conditions.
Can the LTC1625IGN#TRPBF synchronize to an external clock, and what is the supported range?
Yes, the LTC1625IGN#TRPBF can synchronize its internal oscillator to an external clock applied to the SYNC pin. It locks over a 1.5:1 frequency range - for example, a nominal 150kHz oscillator accepts external clocks from 100kHz to 225kHz. The SYNC pin threshold is 0.9–1.2V for rising-edge detection.
