Product details
Overview
LTC1628CG-PG#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual-phase, synchronous step-down switching regulator controller driving two independent N-channel MOSFET stages for 5V/3.3V outputs. It features ±1% output voltage accuracy, 3.5V–36V input range, 150kHz–300kHz adjustable switching frequency, and integrated power-good monitoring. Designed for high-efficiency dual-rail DC/DC conversion in space-constrained portable systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1628CG-PG#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1628CG-PG#TRPBF pinout, LTC1628CG-PG#TRPBF application, or LTC1628CG-PG#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include out-of-phase operation to reduce input capacitance, OPTI-LOOP® compensation for wide-output-capacitance compatibility, dual soft-start control, and PGOOD assertion with ±7.5% output tolerance detection.
Technical Context
The LTC1628CG-PG#TRPBF implements a constant-frequency current-mode architecture with 180° phase shift between channels, minimizing input ripple and ESR-related losses. Its transconductance error amplifiers (gm = 1.3 mmho, GBW = 3 MHz) drive ITH pins to set peak inductor current, while remote sensing (VOSENSE1/2) enables precision regulation independent of PCB trace resistance.
It integrates dual gate drivers (TG1/TG2, BG1/BG2) with <90 ns transition times, a 0.8V precision reference, and dedicated protection circuitry including foldback current limiting, output overvoltage lockout (±7.5%), and latched short-circuit shutdown with defeat option. The PGOOD pin asserts low when either VOSENSE deviates >±7.5% from nominal.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5V to 36V - supports 12V/24V industrial rails and full battery chemistries (Li-ion, lead-acid, NiMH). |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1% at VOSENSE - ensures stable microprocessor core and I/O rail regulation under load and temperature variation. |
| Switching Frequency | 150kHz to 300kHz (adjustable via FREQSET) - balances efficiency, size, and EMI in compact layouts. |
| PGOOD Threshold | ±7.5% on VOSENSE1 or VOSENSE2 - provides reliable system power sequencing and fault indication. |
| Duty Cycle Max | 99.4% - enables ultra-low dropout operation down to VIN ≈ VOUT + 0.2V, critical for battery end-of-life support. |
| Shutdown IQ | 20µA - minimizes standby power in always-on subsystems without compromising wake-up latency. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 62mV to 88mV (adjustable via RSENSE) - sets precise overcurrent protection with minimal power loss in sense resistor. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin plastic SSOP (G package), 5.0mm × 10.2mm body, 0.635mm pitch, exposed pad connected to SGND.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RUN/SS1, RUN/SS2 | Soft-start / Run control / Short-circuit timer | Capacitor-based ramp controls inrush current; falling below 1.0V shuts down respective channel; discharge current triggers latchoff during sustained overcurrent. |
| VOSENSE1, VOSENSE2 | Remote feedback input | Accepts resistive divider output from regulated rail; referenced to internal 0.8V bandgap; enables accurate regulation despite PCB IR drop. |
| PGOOD | Open-drain power-good indicator | Pulled low if either VOSENSE deviates >±7.5%; requires external pull-up to ≤7V; asserts within 10µs of valid condition. |
| TG1, TG2, BG1, BG2 | Top/bottom gate drivers | Drive N-MOSFET gates with <90 ns rise/fall; TG swing = INTVCC – 0.5V superimposed on SW node; BG swing = 0V to INTVCC. |
| FREQSET | Oscillator frequency control | Adjusts fOSC from 140kHz to 310kHz; open = ~220kHz; 0V = ~140kHz; 2.4V = ~310kHz; supports external AC modulation. |
| STBYMD | Standby mode selector | Ground = global shutdown; open = normal operation; >2V = enables 5V/3.3V LDOs regardless of RUN/SS state for wake-up circuits. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Out-of-phase dual controllers | Reduces RMS input capacitor current by up to 70%, enabling smaller, lower-ESR input capacitors and lower supply-induced noise. |
| OPTI-LOOP® compensation | Allows stable loop response across 10× variation in COUT and ESR - eliminates need for custom compensation per output capacitor type. |
| Dual independent soft-start | Separate RUN/SS pins enable staggered startup of 5V and 3.3V rails to prevent inrush current stacking and system brownout. |
| Programmable operating modes | FCB pin selects Burst Mode (high light-load efficiency), constant frequency (low-noise), or forced continuous (secondary winding regulation). |
| Integrated 3.3V linear regulator | Delivers 10mA DC / 50mA peak to auxiliary circuitry (e.g., supervisors, level shifters) - eliminates need for external LDO. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-phase synchronous buck controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP2918GQ-Z | Single-chip dual-phase controller with integrated MOSFETs; fixed 500kHz frequency; no PGOOD pin; 4.5V–18V VIN. | Suitable for cost-sensitive, medium-power applications where board space is critical but input voltage range is limited. | Select MP2918GQ-Z only if input stays within 4.5V–18V and integrated FETs meet RDS(on) and thermal requirements. |
| TPS546D24RSAR | 60A dual-phase controller with PMBus interface, digital loop compensation, and 4.5V–18V VIN; no standalone PGOOD, uses ALERT#. | Targeted at server/telecom with telemetry needs; requires firmware configuration; lacks analog PGOOD simplicity. | Choose TPS546D24RSAR when digital control, margining, and real-time telemetry outweigh need for analog PGOOD and wide VIN. |
Compared with MP2918GQ-Z and TPS546D24RSAR, the LTC1628CG-PG#TRPBF uniquely combines 3.5V–36V operation, discrete MOSFET flexibility, analog PGOOD with ±7.5% threshold, and out-of-phase noise reduction-making it optimal for ruggedized portable and industrial dual-rail designs where input range and analog reliability are paramount.

FAQ
What is the function of the PGOOD pin on the LTC1628CG-PG#TRPBF?
The PGOOD pin on the LTC1628CG-PG#TRPBF is an open-drain output that pulls low when either VOSENSE1 or VOSENSE2 deviates more than ±7.5% from its nominal regulated voltage. It asserts within 10µs of valid regulation and requires an external pull-up resistor to ≤7V. This pin is absent on the non-PG variant (LTC1628CG#TRPBF) and replaces FLTCPL on the LTC1628CG-PG#TRPBF.
How does the LTC1628CG-PG#TRPBF achieve out-of-phase operation and why is it beneficial?
The LTC1628CG-PG#TRPBF internally clocks its two controller channels 180° out of phase. This staggers the input current pulses, reducing RMS input capacitor current by up to 70% and lowering peak input ripple voltage. As a result, designers can use smaller, lower-ESR input capacitors and reduce conducted EMI - critical in compact portable systems where board area and noise margins are constrained.
Can the LTC1628CG-PG#TRPBF operate with input voltages below 3.5V?
No - the LTC1628CG-PG#TRPBF has a guaranteed minimum input voltage of 3.5V due to its internal undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold, which is specified at 3.5V (min) and 4.0V (max). Operation below 3.5V is not supported and may result in unstable regulation or failure to start. For sub-3.5V inputs, a pre-regulator or alternative controller with lower UVLO is required.
What is the purpose of the STBYMD pin on the LTC1628CG-PG#TRPBF?
The STBYMD pin on the LTC1628CG-PG#TRPBF is a three-state control input: grounded to globally shut down both controllers; left open for normal operation with independent RUN/SS control; or pulled above 2V to activate both internal 5V and 3.3V LDOs regardless of RUN/SS state - enabling "always-on" wake-up circuitry. It must be decoupled with 0.01µF to ground if floating.
Does the LTC1628CG-PG#TRPBF support remote output voltage sensing?
Yes - the LTC1628CG-PG#TRPBF supports true remote sensing via VOSENSE1 and VOSENSE2 pins, which accept feedback signals from external resistive dividers placed directly at the load. This compensates for voltage drop across PCB traces and connectors, ensuring ±1% output accuracy at the point of load - essential for powering sensitive microprocessors and analog circuitry.
