Product details
Overview
LTC1625IS#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a synchronous step-down switching regulator controller that drives external dual N-channel MOSFETs without a current-sense resistor, using MOSFET VDS sensing. It operates from 3.7V to 36V input, delivers 1.19V–VIN output, features ±1% 1.19V reference, 150kHz nominal oscillator, and 99% duty-cycle dropout capability - ideal for high-efficiency battery-powered DC/DC conversion in portable computing and wireless infrastructure.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1625IS#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1625IS#TRPBF pinout, LTC1625IS#TRPBF application, or LTC1625IS#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its no-RSENSE current-mode architecture, programmable fixed-frequency synchronization (100–225kHz), forced continuous mode control via FCB pin, Burst Mode™ operation for light-load efficiency, and industrial-grade temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) in 16-lead SO package.
Technical Context
The LTC1625IS#TRPBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control with MOSFET VDS sensing to eliminate external sense resistors and maximize efficiency. Its error amplifier adjusts ITH voltage (0–2.4V range) to regulate peak inductor current against a precise 1.19V internal reference, while the oscillator supports injection locking over a 1.5:1 frequency range (e.g., 100–225kHz) via SYNC pin.
Fault protection includes foldback current limiting (150mV → 30mV threshold reduction under short-circuit) and output overvoltage lockout at 1.28V. Power management integrates dual gate drivers (TG/BG), bootstrap-based high-side drive (BOOST/SW/TK), and flexible INTVCC sourcing (via internal LDO or external EXTVCC ≥4.7V), enabling robust high-current synchronous buck operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.7V to 36V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive battery systems without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Range | 1.19V to VIN - enables adjustable low-voltage rails (e.g., 1.2V, 1.8V, 3.3V, 5V) via VPROG pin selection or external divider. |
| Reference Accuracy | ±1% at 1.19V - ensures tight output regulation across temperature and line/load variations. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 135–165kHz (typ. 150kHz), synchronizable up to 225kHz - allows EMI reduction via frequency dithering or system clock alignment. |

Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead plastic SO (Small Outline) - surface-mount, industry-standard footprint compatible with automated assembly and thermal relief pads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EXTVCC (1) | INTVCC switch input | Enables high-efficiency external bias supply (≥4.7V); bypasses internal LDO to reduce power loss. |
| SYNC (2) | Oscillator synchronization input | Accepts external clock (100–225kHz) for EMI control or multi-phase coordination; open = 150kHz default. |
| RUN/SS (3) | Run control & soft-start | Pull <1.4V for shutdown; capacitor to ground sets ramp time (~1s/µF) for controlled startup and supply sequencing. |
| FCB (4) | Forced continuous mode control | Tie to ground to disable Burst Mode™ and enforce continuous conduction - essential for secondary winding regulation. |
| ITH (5) | Error amplifier compensation point | 0–2.4V control voltage sets peak inductor current threshold; used for loop compensation and current limit setting. |
| SGND (6) | Signal ground reference | Return path for feedback network (VOSENSE) and error amplifier - must be star-connected to COUT negative terminal. |
| VOSENSE (7) | Output voltage feedback input | High-impedance sense node for remote sensing or resistive divider; enables precision regulation independent of PCB trace IR drop. |
| VPROG (8) | Output voltage programming | Selects preset outputs: open = adjustable, 0V = 3.3V, INTVCC = 5V - simplifies design for common rail voltages. |
| VIN (16) | Main supply input | Primary power source (3.7–36V); requires RC filter (4.7Ω/0.1µF) for >3A applications to suppress noise and ringing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No RSENSE current sensing | Eliminates power loss and board space of external sense resistor by using MOSFET VDS as current transducer. |
| Burst Mode™ operation | Reduces light-load quiescent current to <30µA and maintains >80% efficiency down to 1mA load - critical for always-on battery systems. |
| Dual N-channel MOSFET drive | Integrated TG and BG drivers support logic-level MOSFETs (VGS(th) ≤ 2.5V) with 2A peak current, enabling high-efficiency synchronous rectification. |
| Programmable soft start | External capacitor on RUN/SS pin controls inrush current and prevents output overshoot during power-up or hot-swap events. |
| Output overvoltage protection | Hardware comparator triggers immediate top-FET turn-off if VOSENSE exceeds 1.28V - protects downstream loads from transient damage. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC1625IS#TRPBF?
The LTC1625IS#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 36V on the VIN and TK pins. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. The recommended operating range is 3.7V to 36V, with minimum input dropping to 3.9V at –40°C for industrial-grade parts like the LTC1625IS#TRPBF. Always observe the 36V limit in transient conditions, including load-dump spikes.
How does the LTC1625IS#TRPBF achieve current sensing without a sense resistor?
The LTC1625IS#TRPBF uses MOSFET VDS sensing: it monitors the voltage drop across the conducting channel of the top or bottom N-channel MOSFET to derive inductor current. This eliminates external sense resistors, reducing power loss and board area. The controller selects the appropriate sense amplifier (TA or BA) based on MOSFET conduction state, and the ITH pin voltage sets the current threshold (max ~150mV).
Can the LTC1625IS#TRPBF operate in forced continuous conduction mode?
Yes, the LTC1625IS#TRPBF supports forced continuous conduction mode via the FCB (Forced Continuous Bias) pin. When FCB is pulled below 1.19V (e.g., grounded), Burst Mode™ operation is disabled and the controller maintains continuous switching regardless of load current - essential for maintaining regulation on secondary windings or avoiding audible noise in sensitive applications.
What package type and lead count does the LTC1625IS#TRPBF use?
The LTC1625IS#TRPBF is supplied in a 16-lead plastic SO (Small Outline) package, with standard JEDEC MS-012AC dimensions (10.3mm × 7.5mm × 1.75mm). This surface-mount package features gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant matte tin plating, and a thermal resistance θJA of 110°C/W - optimized for industrial temperature operation and reflow soldering compatibility.
Does the LTC1625IS#TRPBF support external clock synchronization?
Yes, the LTC1625IS#TRPBF supports external clock synchronization via the SYNC pin. It can injection-lock to an external clock signal over a 1.5:1 frequency range - e.g., 100–225kHz when the nominal oscillator is 150kHz. The SYNC pin threshold is 1.2V (rising), and the clock high pulse must be between 1µs and 4µs. This feature enables EMI reduction and multi-phase interleaving in complex power systems.
