Product details
Overview
LTC1628IG-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 power rails. It features ±1% output voltage accuracy, 3.5V–36V input range, 150kHz–300kHz programmable switching frequency, and integrated Power Good (PGOOD) monitoring. Designed for high-efficiency notebook and portable digital systems requiring tightly regulated dual outputs with low noise and minimal input capacitance.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1628IG-PG#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1628IG-PG#TRPBF pinout, LTC1628IG-PG#TRPBF application, or LTC1628IG-PG#TRPBF equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated 28-pin SSOP package mapping, confirmed dual-controller timing and current-mode operation, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts with documented functional and application-level differences.
Technical Context
The LTC1628IG-PG#TRPBF implements a constant-frequency, current-mode control architecture with 180° out-of-phase operation between its two channels-reducing input ripple current by up to 70% and minimizing required input capacitance. Each channel uses an internal 0.8V precision reference, transconductance error amplifier (gm = 1.3 mmho, GBW = 3 MHz), and OPTI-LOOP® compensation for stable transient response across wide output capacitor ESR ranges.
It integrates dual gate drivers (TG1/TG2, BG1/BG2) with <90 ns rise/fall times, a dedicated PGOOD open-drain output (trip threshold ±7.5% on either VOSENSE), and independent RUN/SS pins enabling adjustable soft-start and timed short-circuit latchoff. The FCB pin selects among Burst Mode®, forced continuous conduction, or constant-frequency operation-each with distinct efficiency/noise trade-offs confirmed in Figure 13 performance curves.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5V to 36V - supports all common battery chemistries (Li-ion, LiFePO₄, lead-acid) and industrial DC bus inputs without external pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1% over temperature - ensures reliable microprocessor core and I/O rail regulation without post-production trimming. |
| Switching Frequency | 150kHz to 300kHz (adjustable via FREQSET pin) - balances inductor size, efficiency, and EMI filtering requirements in space-constrained designs. |
| Duty Cycle Max | 99.4% - enables ultra-low dropout operation down to VIN – VOUT ≈ 0.2V, critical for high-current 3.3V/5V rails near battery end-of-discharge. |
| PGOOD Threshold | ±7.5% on VOSENSE1 or VOSENSE2 - provides system-level power sequencing validation before enabling downstream logic or memory. |
| Shutdown IQ | 20µA - allows long-term battery standby in portable instruments without compromising runtime. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 62mV to 88mV (adjustable via RSENSE) - sets precise foldback current limiting (e.g., 6.2A with 0.01Ω) during short-circuit events. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-lead plastic SSOP (G package), 5.3mm × 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-to-ground sets ramp time; falling below 1.0V shuts down respective channel; used for timed latchoff during overcurrent. |
| VOSENSE1, VOSENSE2 | Remote feedback input | Accepts resistive divider output from 5V/3.3V rails; referenced to internal 0.8V bandgap for ±1% regulation accuracy. |
| PGOOD | Open-drain power-good indicator | Pulled low if either VOSENSE deviates >±7.5%; requires external pull-up to ≤7V; settles within 10µs after fault clearance. |
| TG1, TG2 / BG1, BG2 | Top/bottom N-MOSFET gate drivers | TG swing = INTVCC – 0.5V superimposed on SW node; BG swing = 0V to INTVCC; <90 ns transitions support high-frequency operation. |
| FREQSET | Oscillator frequency control | Open = 220kHz typ; 0V = 140kHz min; 2.4V = 310kHz max - enables EMI optimization without changing magnetics. |
| FCB | Mode selection / Secondary winding control | <0.8V = forced continuous; 0.8–2.7V = Burst Mode®; >4.3V = constant frequency - determines light-load efficiency vs. noise profile. |
| SGND / PGND | Signal / Power ground separation | SGND must be routed separately from high-current PGND returns to avoid noise coupling into feedback and error amplifier paths. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 180° out-of-phase dual controllers | Reduces RMS input ripple current by ~70%, cutting required CIN volume by ≥50% versus single-phase solutions. |
| OPTI-LOOP® compensation | Enables stable loop response with ceramic, polymer, or electrolytic output capacitors-no ESR tuning needed. |
| Integrated 3.3V linear regulator (3.3VOUT) | Supplies 10mA DC / 50mA peak for auxiliary circuitry (e.g., supervisor ICs, level shifters), eliminating need for third LDO. |
| Programmable foldback current limiting | Automatically reduces output current to safe levels (<1A typical) during sustained overload-prevents thermal runaway without shutdown. |
| Dropout detector with boot capacitor recharge | Maintains gate drive integrity during 99% duty cycle operation by forcing 500ns bottom-FET-on pulses every 10 cycles. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3728IG#TRPBF | Higher 4V–38V VIN range; integrated MOSFET drivers rated for 10A peak; no integrated 3.3V LDO; PGOOD only on primary channel. | Preferred for higher-power (>10A/rail) industrial or telecom systems where external high-current drivers are acceptable. | Select when needing >36V input capability or higher gate drive strength, but accept loss of secondary rail monitoring and auxiliary LDO. |
| MP8770GL-Z | Single-chip dual-output buck (integrated MOSFETs); fixed 500kHz fSW; no PGOOD; no programmable frequency; lower 4.5V–28V VIN range. | Suitable for cost-sensitive consumer electronics where board space is critical and 3.3V/5V outputs are always co-located. | Choose for simplified layout and lower BoM cost in non-mission-critical applications-sacrifices flexibility, monitoring, and wide-VIN robustness. |
Compared with LTC3728IG#TRPBF and MP8770GL-Z, the LTC1628IG-PG#TRPBF uniquely combines dual-channel PGOOD monitoring, integrated 3.3V LDO, 3.5V–36V input range, and programmable frequency in a 28-pin SSOP-making it optimal for portable instrumentation requiring verified power sequencing and extended battery compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC1628IG-PG#TRPBF?
The LTC1628IG-PG#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage (VIN) rating of 36V. Operation above 36V risks permanent damage. Its specified operating range is 3.5V to 36V, making it compatible with 24V industrial buses, 19V laptop adapters, and multi-cell Li-ion batteries. Always observe the 36V limit even during transient conditions.
Does the LTC1628IG-PG#TRPBF support remote voltage sensing?
Yes, the LTC1628IG-PG#TRPBF supports true remote voltage sensing via VOSENSE1 and VOSENSE2 pins. These inputs accept feedback from resistive dividers placed directly at the load terminals, compensating for IR drops across PCB traces and connectors-ensuring ±1% regulation accuracy at the point of load, not just at the IC output pins.
How does the PGOOD function work on the LTC1628IG-PG#TRPBF?
The PGOOD pin on the LTC1628IG-PG#TRPBF is an open-drain output that pulls low when either VOSENSE1 or VOSENSE2 deviates by more than ±7.5% from its 0.8V reference. It releases within 10µs after both outputs return to regulation. An external pull-up resistor (to ≤7V) is required; PGOOD status is used for system power sequencing and fault indication in applications like notebooks and medical devices.
Can the LTC1628IG-PG#TRPBF operate with only one channel enabled?
Yes, the LTC1628IG-PG#TRPBF supports independent channel control. Driving RUN/SS1 low disables Channel 1 while leaving Channel 2 active (and vice versa). This allows flexible power staging-for example, powering the 3.3V rail first for initialization, then enabling the 5V rail for high-speed logic. Both channels share bias circuitry but retain full functional independence.
What is the purpose of the FCB pin on the LTC1628IG-PG#TRPBF?
The FCB pin on the LTC1628IG-PG#TRPBF serves three roles: (1) selecting operating mode (Burst Mode®, constant frequency, or forced continuous), (2) regulating a secondary winding when used with transformer-coupled topologies, and (3) controlling fault coupling behavior when paired with FLTCPL (on LTC1628 variants). On the LTC1628IG-PG#TRPBF, FLTCPL is replaced by PGOOD, so FCB exclusively governs mode selection and secondary regulation.
