Product details
Overview
LTC1735CF#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a synchronous step-down switching regulator controller driving external N-channel MOSFETs in fixed-frequency current-mode operation. It delivers 0.8V to 6V output at up to 9A, supports 4V–30V input, features ±1% output voltage accuracy, OPTI-LOOP™ compensation, and Burst Mode™ for high efficiency at light loads.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1735CF#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1735CF#TRPBF pinout, LTC1735CF#TRPBF application, or LTC1735CF#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include forced continuous mode control via FCB pin, remote sense capability, programmable soft-start, PGOOD output, and compatibility with wide-input industrial and portable power systems requiring stable 0.8V reference and low-noise regulation.
Technical Context
The LTC1735CF#TRPBF implements a constant-frequency, current-mode control architecture with dual N-channel gate drivers (TG/BG), internal 0.8V reference, and transconductance error amplifier (gm = 1.3 mmho). Its OPTI-LOOP™ compensation adapts transient response across broad output capacitance and ESR ranges, while Burst Mode™ enables sub-25µA quiescent current at light loads.
It integrates foldback current limiting, output overvoltage crowbar protection, latched short-circuit shutdown with defeat option, and undervoltage lockout (UVLO = 3.5V–3.9V). The FCB pin supports three operating modes: Burst Mode™ (FCB ≥ 0.8V), forced continuous (FCB = GND), and external synchronization (0.9fO–1.3fO).
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 20-lead plastic TSSOP (F package), JEDEC MO-153, 0.65 mm pitch, exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Thermal resistance θJA = 110°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| NC | No-connect | Unbonded pins (1, 11, 19, 20) - must be left floating or grounded per layout guidelines. |
| COSC | Oscillator timing capacitor | External capacitor sets switching frequency; 43 pF yields ~300 kHz - enables optimization of efficiency vs. component size. |
| RUN/SS | Run enable & soft-start control | Capacitor-to-ground sets ramp time (~1.25 s/µF); <1.5 V disables operation - enables controlled power-up and overcurrent latchoff. |
| ITH | Error amplifier output | Voltage-controlled current limit threshold (0–2.4 V range) - directly modulates peak inductor current for loop stability. |
| FCB | Forced continuous / sync input | Configures Burst Mode™ (≥0.8 V), forced continuous (GND), or external clock sync (0.9–1.3× fO) - critical for noise-sensitive or multi-rail systems. |
| SGND | Small-signal ground | Single-point return for feedback divider, COSC, CSS - isolates analog reference path from power ground noise. |
| VOSENSE | Feedback voltage input | Receives resistive divider output; ±1% accuracy referenced to 0.8 V - enables precision regulation with remote sensing. |
| PGOOD | Power-good status output | Open-drain signal asserted low when VOSENSE deviates >±7.5% - essential for FPGA/CPU power sequencing. |
| SENSE– / SENSE+ | Current sense differential inputs | Monitor RSENSE voltage drop; built-in offset sets trip threshold (60–85 mV) - enables accurate current limiting and foldback. |
| TG / BG | Top/bottom gate drivers | High-current (3 A peak) N-MOSFET drivers with 50–90 ns transition times - supports fast-switching, low-loss external FETs. |
| SW / BOOST / VIN / INTVCC / PGND / EXTVCC | Power node connections | SW connects to inductor and bootstrap cap; BOOST supplies floating top driver; EXTVCC enables efficient 5.2 V bias sourcing - defines high-efficiency power path topology. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current supported by the LTC1735CF#TRPBF?
The LTC1735CF#TRPBF is a controller-not a monolithic regulator-so its output current depends on selected external MOSFETs, inductor, and layout. With appropriate FDS6680A MOSFETs and 2 µH inductor, the LTC1735CF#TRPBF supports up to 9A continuous output, as validated in the typical application circuit (Figure 1) and confirmed by thermal derating curves in the datasheet.
Does the LTC1735CF#TRPBF include an integrated power switch?
No, the LTC1735CF#TRPBF does not include integrated power switches. It is a controller IC that drives external N-channel MOSFETs (top and bottom) using dedicated TG and BG gate drive outputs. This architecture allows designers to optimize efficiency, thermal performance, and cost by selecting discrete FETs matched to specific voltage, current, and RDS(on) requirements.
What is the purpose of the PGOOD pin on the LTC1735CF#TRPBF?
The PGOOD pin on the LTC1735CF#TRPBF is an open-drain output that asserts low when the VOSENSE voltage deviates more than ±7.5% from the 0.8V reference. This signal enables safe power sequencing in complex systems-such as CPUs or FPGAs-by preventing downstream logic from initializing until the regulated output is within specification. PGOOD is exclusive to the F-package variants like LTC1735CF#TRPBF.
How does Burst Mode™ operation improve light-load efficiency in the LTC1735CF#TRPBF?
Burst Mode™ operation in the LTC1735CF#TRPBF reduces quiescent current to <25 µA by disabling both gate drivers when the ITH voltage falls below 0.5V, allowing the output capacitor to supply load current until regulation error triggers resumption. This eliminates switching losses at light loads, achieving >85% efficiency at 10 mA output-critical for battery-powered devices where standby power dominates total energy consumption.
Can the LTC1735CF#TRPBF be synchronized to an external clock source?
Yes, the LTC1735CF#TRPBF can be synchronized to an external clock applied to the FCB pin. When driven with a square wave (≥1.3V high, ≤0.3V low, ≥0.3 µs pulse width), the internal oscillator locks to frequencies between 90% and 130% of its nominal value set by COSC. This enables noise-sensitive applications to avoid beat frequencies and align switching with system clocks or other converters.
