Product details
Overview
LTC1628IG-SYNC 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 and 3.3V outputs. It features ±1% output voltage accuracy, 150kHz–300kHz phase-lockable fixed-frequency operation, 3.5V–36V input range, 99% duty cycle dropout capability, and integrated 5V/3.3V standby regulators - used in notebook computers, telecom power systems, and battery-powered digital devices.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1628IG-SYNC datasheet, LTC1628IG-SYNC pinout, LTC1628IG-SYNC application, or LTC1628IG-SYNC equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-phase interleaving for reduced input ripple, OPTI-LOOP® compensation for wide output capacitor compatibility, out-of-phase timing to minimize EMI, and robust protection features including foldback current limiting, latchable short-circuit shutdown, and output overvoltage protection.
Technical Context
The LTC1628IG-SYNC implements a constant-frequency current-mode architecture with two 180° out-of-phase control loops, each using an internal 0.8V reference and transconductance error amplifier (gm = 1.3 mmho, GBW = 3 MHz). Phase synchronization is achieved via PLLIN/PLLFLTR pins, enabling frequency locking from 120kHz to 360kHz depending on PLLFLTR voltage.
It integrates dual gate drivers (TG1/TG2, BG1/BG2) with <90ns rise/fall times, supports remote sensing (VOSENSE1/VOSENSE2), and provides independent RUN/SS pins for soft-start ramping and timed short-circuit detection. The IC also includes dedicated 3.3V linear regulator (±1% load regulation), INTVCC/EXTVCC power management, and PGOOD open-drain output monitoring both channels against ±7.5% trip threshold.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5V to 36V - supports wide battery chemistries and industrial DC rails without external pre-regulation. |
| Output Accuracy | ±1% over temperature - ensures stable microprocessor core and I/O rail compliance across –40°C to 85°C. |
| Switching Frequency | 150kHz–300kHz (phase-lockable) - enables EMI-controlled layout and predictable filter design. |
| Duty Cycle Max | 99.4% - allows ultra-low dropout operation near VIN ≈ VOUT, critical for battery end-of-life scenarios. |
| PGOOD Threshold | ±7.5% on VOSENSE - provides reliable system-level power sequencing and fault reporting for host controllers. |
| Shutdown IQ | 20µA - minimizes quiescent drain in always-on subsystems like real-time clocks or wake-up logic. |
| 3.3V LDO Output | 3.25V–3.45V at 10mA - powers auxiliary circuitry (e.g., PMIC bias, sensor interfaces) without external regulators. |
Pinout & Package
28-Lead Plastic SSOP (G package), 5.6mm × 10.2mm body, 0.635mm pitch, exposed pad not electrically connected. Thermal resistance θJA = 95°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RUN/SS1, RUN/SS2 (Pins 1, 15) | Soft-start & short-circuit timer input | Capacitor-based ramp controls inrush; falling below 1.0V disables respective channel; latches off after sustained overcurrent. |
| SENSE1+/SENSE1–, SENSE2+/SENSE2– (Pins 2,3,13,14) | Differential current sense inputs | Measure RSENSE voltage drop to set peak current limit; total source current ≤ –60µA per pair. |
| VOSENSE1, VOSENSE2 (Pins 4, 12) | Remote feedback voltage input | Accepts resistive divider output; regulates to 0.800V ±0.8%; trip threshold ±7.5% for PGOOD assertion. |
| PLLIN, PLLFLTR (Pins 6, 5) | Phase-locked loop interface | PLLIN accepts external sync edge; PLLFLTR sets oscillator frequency (120–360kHz) or receives sync-derived DC control. |
| FCB (Pin 7) | Forced continuous/burst mode select | Pull <0.8V for forced PWM; 0.8–2.7V enables Burst Mode®; >4.3V inhibits burst (constant frequency). |
| TG1/TG2, BG1/BG2 (Pins 16,27,19,23) | N-channel MOSFET gate drivers | TG drives high-side FETs with floating bootstrap supply; BG drives low-side FETs referenced to PGND; <90ns transitions. |
| INTVCC (Pin 21) | Internal 5V LDO output | Powers control logic and drivers; regulated to 4.8–5.2V; requires ≥4.7µF low-ESR decoupling to PGND. |
| 3.3VOUT (Pin 10) | Dedicated linear regulator output | Supplies up to 10mA DC / 50mA peak; line/load regulation ≤2%; leakage ≤50µA in shutdown. |
| PGOOD (Pin 28) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Pulled low if either VOSENSE deviates >±7.5%; releases within 10µs when both outputs are in regulation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 2-Phase Interleaved Operation | Reduces RMS input current by ~39% vs single-phase (e.g., 2.53A → 1.55A), lowering input capacitor cost, EMI, and power loss (I²R reduction factor 2.66). |
| OPTI-LOOP® Compensation | Enables stable transient response across wide range of ceramic and polymer output capacitors (COUT) and ESR values without external tuning. |
| Dual Independent Control Loops | Each channel has dedicated ITH, RUN/SS, SENSE, and VOSENSE pins - supports asymmetric outputs (e.g., 5V@5A + 3.3V@5A) with separate soft-start and fault handling. |
| Integrated Standby Regulators | On-chip 5V LDO (INTVCC) and 3.3V LDO (3.3VOUT) eliminate need for external bias supplies in multi-rail systems. |
| Robust Protection Suite | Includes foldback current limiting, latchable short-circuit shutdown (defeatable), output overvoltage lockout (0.84–0.88V), and undervoltage lockout (3.5–4.0V). |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3727-1 | Single-channel, 2-phase capable (requires external clock sync); no integrated 3.3V LDO; higher max fSW (600kHz). | Requires external components for dual-rail generation; better suited for high-frequency, high-density designs where footprint is constrained. | Select LTC3727-1 when needing >300kHz operation or tighter layout control; LTC1628IG-SYNC preferred for integrated standby rails and simpler BOM. |
| MP8765GL-Z | Dual-channel, non-interleaved; no PLL sync; lower IQ (15µA shutdown); no remote sensing or PGOOD. | Lacks phase interleaving and protection features; suitable only for cost-sensitive, non-critical consumer applications. | Choose MP8765GL-Z for basic dual-buck needs without EMI or reliability requirements; LTC1628IG-SYNC remains superior for industrial/telecom use cases. |
Compared with LTC3727-1 and MP8765GL-Z, the LTC1628IG-SYNC uniquely combines dual independent 2-phase control, integrated 3.3V/5V bias rails, full protection suite, and –40°C to 85°C guaranteed operation - making it the only option supporting high-reliability, multi-rail, thermally constrained portable and telecom systems without external support ICs.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC1628IG-SYNC?
The LTC1628IG-SYNC is specified for –40°C to +85°C junction temperature operation, validated across the full range for all electrical parameters including output accuracy (±1%), PGOOD trip level (±7.5%), and UVLO (3.5V min). This makes it suitable for automotive cabin, industrial, and outdoor portable applications where ambient extremes are expected.
Does the LTC1628IG-SYNC support true dual independent outputs?
Yes, the LTC1628IG-SYNC provides two fully independent synchronous buck controllers - each with dedicated RUN/SS, ITH, SENSE+, SENSE–, VOSENSE, and gate drive pins (TG1/BG1 and TG2/BG2). This enables asymmetric configurations (e.g., 5V@5A + 3.3V@3A), separate soft-start timing, and independent fault responses without cross-talk.
How does the OPTI-LOOP® compensation in the LTC1628IG-SYNC improve design flexibility?
OPTI-LOOP® compensation in the LTC1628IG-SYNC dynamically adjusts loop gain based on output capacitor ESR and value, allowing stable operation with ceramic, polymer, or hybrid COUT ranging from 10µF to 220µF without external compensation components. This eliminates trial-and-error tuning and supports rapid prototyping across diverse output filter implementations.
Can the LTC1628IG-SYNC be synchronized to an external clock source?
Yes, the LTC1628IG-SYNC supports external synchronization via the PLLIN pin, which accepts TTL/CMOS-compatible clock edges. The internal phase-locked loop aligns the rising edge of TG1 to the PLLIN signal, enabling deterministic timing across multiple converters and eliminating beat frequencies in multi-rail systems.
What protection features are built into the LTC1628IG-SYNC?
The LTC1628IG-SYNC includes foldback current limiting, latchable short-circuit shutdown (with defeat option), output overvoltage lockout (0.84–0.88V), undervoltage lockout (3.5–4.0V), thermal shutdown (125°C), and PGOOD monitoring of both outputs. These features ensure safe operation during faults while maintaining system visibility through the open-drain PGOOD pin.
