Product details
Overview
LTC1700EMS#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a current-mode synchronous step-up DC/DC controller driving external N-channel and P-channel MOSFETs. It operates at 530 kHz nominal frequency, achieves up to 95% efficiency, supports start-up from as low as 0.9 V input, and delivers ±1.5% output voltage accuracy-used in battery-powered RF transceivers requiring compact, high-efficiency boost conversion.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1700EMS#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1700EMS#TRPBF pinout, LTC1700EMS#TRPBF application, or LTC1700EMS#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its No RSENSE™ current sensing, OPTI-LOOP® compensation, Burst Mode® operation for light-load efficiency, 10-lead MSOP package, and synchronization range of 400–750 kHz.
Technical Context
The LTC1700EMS#TRPBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control with internal slope compensation active above 5% duty cycle to prevent subharmonic oscillation. It senses inductor current via VDS of the main N-MOSFET, eliminating external sense resistors.
Its dual-gate drive architecture delivers precise timing: TG drives the synchronous P-MOSFET with 0–VOUT swing, BG drives the N-MOSFET with identical swing, and dead-time control (66–90 ns high-side, 88–110 ns low-side) prevents shoot-through. Overvoltage protection shuts off both MOSFETs if output exceeds regulated value by >5%.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Frequency | 530 kHz nominal; enables use of small surface-mount inductors (e.g., 1.8 µH) and reduces filter component size. |
| Start-Up Voltage | 0.9 V minimum; allows operation directly from single-cell Li-ion or NiMH batteries during cold start. |
| Output Accuracy | ±1.5% over temperature; ensures stable 3.3 V or 5 V rail generation without post-regulation. |
| Quiescent Current | 200 µA in normal mode; minimizes standby power loss in always-on wireless modems. |
| Shutdown Current | 10 µA; supports ultra-low-power sleep states in cellular handsets and IoT endpoints. |
| Duty Cycle Limit | 90% maximum; prevents inductor saturation and guarantees energy transfer to output capacitor each cycle. |
| Synchronization Range | 400–750 kHz; allows EMI reduction via clock alignment with system master clock or noise-sensitive receivers. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-lead MSOP (3 mm × 3 mm, 0.5 mm pitch), thermally enhanced with exposed pad (θJA = 150°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SGND (1) | Small-signal ground reference | Must be routed separately from PGND to avoid noise coupling into feedback loop. |
| ITH (2) | Error amplifier output / current limit threshold control | Voltage sets peak inductor current; clamped during soft-start to limit inrush. |
| VFB (3) | Feedback input | Monitors resistor divider output; regulates VOUT to 1.205 V reference with ±1.5% accuracy. |
| RUN/SS (4) | Soft-start and enable control | Pulling below 1.08 V disables regulator; external capacitor sets ramp time (~0.45 s/µF). |
| SYNC/MODE (5) | Frequency sync input / Burst Mode enable | ≥1.2 V enables Burst Mode; external 400–750 kHz CMOS clock forces synchronization and disables Burst Mode. |
| TG (6) | Top gate driver output | Drives P-channel MOSFET source-to-drain; swing 0–VOUT, rise/fall <100 ns (CL = 3000 pF). |
| VOUT (7) | Output supply and current reversal comparator input | Provides bias for internal circuitry and serves as reference for current reversal detection. |
| BG (8) | Bottom gate driver output | Drives N-channel MOSFET source-to-drain; swing 0–VOUT, rise/fall <100 ns (CL = 3000 pF). |
| PGND (9) | Power ground for gate drivers | Connects to cathode of output capacitor and source of N-MOSFET; critical for accurate VDS sensing. |
| SW (10) | Switch node connection | Interfaces with VDS sense amplifier and current reversal comparator; connects to drain of internal start-up MOSFET. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No RSENSE™ current sensing | Eliminates power loss and board space of external sense resistor; maintains >90% efficiency at full load using VDS of main N-MOSFET. |
| OPTI-LOOP® compensation | Minimizes required output capacitance (e.g., 330 µF POSCAP + 10 µF ceramic suffices); simplifies stability design across wide COUT ranges. |
| Selectable Burst Mode® | Reduces light-load quiescent current to ~179 µA and improves efficiency below 10 mA output; disabled automatically during sync operation. |
| 0.9 V start-up capability | Enables direct regulation from depleted single-cell batteries without auxiliary LDO or charge pump. |
| Integrated overvoltage protection | Shuts off both external MOSFETs if output exceeds 1.205 V × 1.05 = ~1.265 V; prevents damage to downstream 3.3 V logic. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous step-up controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3531EMS#TRPBF | Higher integration: includes internal 1.5 A N-MOSFET and 1.2 A P-MOSFET; fixed 1.25 V reference; no SYNC pin. | Not suitable for >1.5 A loads or custom MOSFET selection; lacks frequency synchronization for EMI control. | Choose LTC3531EMS#TRPBF only when board space is constrained and load ≤1.5 A; LTC1700EMS#TRPBF retains flexibility for higher-current or noise-sensitive designs. |
| TPS61088RHLR | Fixed 500 kHz frequency; integrated MOSFETs; 2.7–12 V input; no Burst Mode; uses external resistor for current limit. | Cannot start below 2.7 V; lacks 0.9 V cold-start capability and programmable sync range. | TPS61088RHLR fits cost-sensitive, medium-current applications where input never drops below 2.7 V; LTC1700EMS#TRPBF remains preferred for ultra-low-VIN and EMI-controlled systems. |
Compared with LTC3531EMS#TRPBF and TPS61088RHLR, the LTC1700EMS#TRPBF uniquely combines sub-1 V start-up, external MOSFET control for thermal/power scalability, and 400–750 kHz synchronization-making it optimal for high-performance, battery-critical RF and portable instrumentation.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for the LTC1700EMS#TRPBF to begin operation?
The LTC1700EMS#TRPBF features a dedicated start-up circuit that activates at input voltages as low as 0.9 V, allowing it to initiate regulation from nearly depleted single-cell batteries. This start-up mode operates at ~210 kHz until the output reaches 2.3 V, at which point the main control loop engages. The LTC1700EMS#TRPBF is specified for full functionality above 2.3 V input, but its 0.9 V start-up capability is a defining feature for battery longevity in portable devices.
Does the LTC1700EMS#TRPBF require an external current sense resistor?
No, the LTC1700EMS#TRPBF uses No RSENSE™ technology, sensing inductor current by monitoring the VDS voltage drop across the external main N-channel MOSFET. This eliminates power loss, board space, and cost associated with a discrete sense resistor while maintaining high efficiency across load range. The LTC1700EMS#TRPBF's current limit is set internally based on a maximum sensed voltage of 78 mV, corresponding to IPK = 78 mV / RDS(ON).
How does the SYNC/MODE pin function on the LTC1700EMS#TRPBF?
The SYNC/MODE pin on the LTC1700EMS#TRPBF serves three roles: (1) applying ≥1.2 V enables Burst Mode® for improved light-load efficiency; (2) grounding or pulling low disables Burst Mode; (3) applying a 400–750 kHz CMOS-compatible clock synchronizes the internal oscillator and disables Burst Mode. The LTC1700EMS#TRPBF will not lock to frequencies outside this range, and attempting to do so may cause erratic operation.
What is the purpose of the ITH pin on the LTC1700EMS#TRPBF?
The ITH pin on the LTC1700EMS#TRPBF is the output of the error amplifier and directly controls the peak inductor current. Its voltage sets the current limit threshold for the main N-MOSFET. During soft-start, the LTC1700EMS#TRPBF clamps ITH at ~5% of full scale to limit inrush; during normal operation, ITH varies dynamically to maintain regulation. OPTI-LOOP® compensation components connect here to stabilize the control loop across diverse output capacitor types.
Can the LTC1700EMS#TRPBF be used in applications requiring overvoltage protection?
Yes, the LTC1700EMS#TRPBF includes integrated overvoltage protection that triggers when the output exceeds the regulated voltage by approximately 5% (i.e., ~1.265 V relative to the 1.205 V reference). Upon trip, both external MOSFETs are forced off until the fault condition clears. This protects downstream 3.3 V or 5 V logic circuits and complements external protection schemes without requiring additional ICs. The LTC1700EMS#TRPBF's OVP is inherent to its architecture and requires no external components.
