Product details
Overview
LTC1735CGN#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 architecture. 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™ operation for high efficiency at light loads.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1735CGN#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1735CGN#TRPBF pinout, LTC1735CGN#TRPBF application, or LTC1735CGN#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed alternative parts with documented differences, and supply-chain support details specific to the GN-package 16-lead narrow SSOP variant.
Technical Context
The LTC1735CGN#TRPBF implements a constant-frequency, current-mode control architecture with dual N-channel gate drivers (TG and BG), internal 5.2V INTVCC regulator, and programmable foldback current limiting. Its error amplifier output (ITH) directly controls peak inductor current, while VOSENSE monitors feedback voltage against a precision 0.8V reference.
Burst Mode™ operation-enabled via FCB pin >0.8V-disables switching when ITH drops below 0.5V, reducing quiescent current to <25µA in shutdown. Forced continuous mode (FCB = GND) eliminates low-load noise but sacrifices efficiency; synchronization (FCB clocked 0.9–1.3× fOSC) enables deterministic timing and disables Burst Mode while retaining discontinuous conduction.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 30V operating, 36V absolute max - supports wide industrial and telecom input rails without external pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.8V to 6V - compatible with modern microprocessor core voltages and FPGA I/O rails. |
| Output Accuracy | ±1% over temperature - ensures stable regulation for sensitive digital loads without calibration. |
| Switching Frequency | 265–335kHz (COSC = 47pF), synchronizable up to 500kHz - balances MOSFET switching loss vs. inductor size. |
| Efficiency at Light Load | Up to 85% at 10mA (Burst Mode) - extends battery life in portable systems by minimizing idle power draw. |
| Duty Cycle Max | 99.4% - enables ultra-low dropout operation (e.g., 5V→4.95V) without external LDO supplementation. |
| Shutdown Current | <25µA - meets micropower requirements for always-on subsystems and wake-on-event designs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead narrow plastic SSOP (GN), 6.2mm × 5.3mm, 0.65mm pitch, exposed pad not present. Thermal resistance θJA = 130°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| COSC | Oscillator timing capacitor connection | External capacitor sets switching frequency; 47pF yields ~300kHz - direct control of efficiency/size trade-off. |
| RUN/SS | Soft-start ramp & shutdown enable | Capacitor to ground sets startup time (~1.25s/µF); <1.5V forces shutdown with full circuit disable including INTVCC. |
| ITH | Error amplifier output / current limit control | Voltage (0–2.4V) sets peak inductor current; used for loop compensation and current foldback activation. |
| FCB | Forced continuous/synchronization input | GND = forced continuous; INTVCC = Burst Mode; external clock = sync + cycle-skipping - single pin configures three operating modes. |
| VOSENSE | Feedback voltage input | Monitors resistive divider output; referenced to 0.8V internal bandgap - enables precise remote sensing of VOUT. |
| SENSE+, SENSE− | Current sense differential inputs | Measure voltage across RSENSE; built-in offset sets trip threshold - enables accurate current limiting independent of MOSFET RDS(on). |
| TG, BG | Top/bottom N-MOSFET gate drivers | 3A peak drive capability; TG is floating (bootstrap-referenced), BG is ground-referenced - supports high-efficiency synchronous rectification. |
| VIN, SW, BOOST, PGND | Main power, switch node, bootstrap supply, power ground | High-current paths requiring tight layout; BOOST must be decoupled with CB diode/capacitor - defines critical PCB routing zones. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| OPTI-LOOP™ Compensation | Minimizes required output capacitance by enabling stable loop response across wide ESR ranges - reduces BOM count and board area. |
| Burst Mode™ Operation | Reduces no-load input current to <450µA and maintains >80% efficiency down to 10mA - eliminates need for auxiliary LDO in battery-powered systems. |
| Programmable Foldback Current Limit | Automatically reduces peak current when VOUT drops below 70% nominal - protects downstream circuits during short-circuit without external circuitry. |
| Forced Continuous Control Pin (FCB) | Enables noise-sensitive applications (e.g., RF sections) by disabling Burst Mode while retaining synchronous operation - avoids audible switching artifacts. |
| Remote Output Voltage Sense (VOSENSE) | Compensates for IR drop in PCB traces or connectors - ensures ±1% regulation at load point, not just at IC pins. |
| Internal 5.2V INTVCC Regulator | Eliminates need for external bias supply; EXTVCC option allows self-powering from converter output - simplifies system-level power architecture. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current supported by the LTC1735CGN#TRPBF?
The LTC1735CGN#TRPBF is a controller-not an integrated regulator-so its output current depends on selected external MOSFETs, inductor, and layout. With appropriate FDS6680A MOSFETs and 2µH inductor, the LTC1735CGN#TRPBF achieves up to 9A continuous output in typical reference designs. Peak current is set by RSENSE (e.g., 0.005Ω yields ~75mV threshold), and thermal limits are governed by package θJA = 130°C/W.
Does the LTC1735CGN#TRPBF include an internal voltage reference?
Yes, the LTC1735CGN#TRPBF integrates a precision 0.8V bandgap reference with ±1% accuracy over temperature. This reference is used internally for the VOSENSE feedback comparator and is accessible only through the feedback loop-it is not a buffered output pin. The 0.8V value was selected for compatibility with future-generation microprocessors requiring lower core voltages.
How does Burst Mode™ operation improve efficiency at light loads in the LTC1735CGN#TRPBF?
In Burst Mode™, the LTC1735CGN#TRPBF disables both gate drivers when the ITH voltage falls below 0.5V, halting switching entirely. Load current is supplied solely by the output capacitor until voltage droop raises ITH above the 60mV hysteresis threshold, triggering a burst of switching cycles. This reduces average input current to <450µA at no load and maintains >80% efficiency down to 10mA-critical for battery runtime extension.
Can the LTC1735CGN#TRPBF be synchronized to an external clock, and what are the valid frequency ranges?
Yes, the LTC1735CGN#TRPBF supports synchronization via the FCB pin. When driven with a square wave having >1.3V high level (≥0.3µs) and <0.3V low level (≥0.3µs), it locks to external frequencies between 0.9× and 1.3× its nominal fOSC. For a 300kHz nominal frequency (COSC = 47pF), valid sync range is 270–390kHz. Attempting sync beyond 1.3× may cause slope compensation deficiency and instability.
What protection features are implemented in the LTC1735CGN#TRPBF?
The LTC1735CGN#TRPBF includes internal foldback current limiting (activated when VOUT drops below 70% nominal), output overvoltage crowbar (trip at VOSENSE >0.86V), latched short-circuit shutdown with CSS-based timeout, undervoltage lockout (3.5V on VIN), and bootstrap capacitor recharge management during dropout. These operate autonomously without external components, enhancing system robustness.
