Product details
Overview
LTC1735IF#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 LTC1735IF#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1735IF#TRPBF pinout, LTC1735IF#TRPBF application, or LTC1735IF#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include programmable forced-continuous mode via FCB pin, remote sense capability, 0.8V precision reference compatible with microprocessor core supplies, and 20-Lead TSSOP package with PGOOD output.
Technical Context
The LTC1735IF#TRPBF implements a constant-frequency, current-mode control architecture with dual N-channel gate drivers (TG, BG), internal 5.2V INTVCC regulator, and external oscillator capacitor (COSC) setting frequency from 265kHz to 335kHz (typ). Its error amplifier (EA) drives ITH to regulate peak inductor current, while VOSENSE feedback maintains 0.8V reference with ±1% accuracy over temperature and line/load.
Burst Mode™ operation-enabled when FCB ≥ 0.8V-disables switching until output droop triggers resumption, achieving >85% efficiency at 10mA load. Forced continuous mode (FCB ≤ 0.76V) eliminates low-frequency ripple but increases quiescent current; synchronization (FCB clocked 0.9–1.3× fOSC) enables noise-sensitive applications requiring constant-frequency operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 30V operating, 36V absolute max - supports wide industrial and telecom supply rails. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.8V to 6V - set by external resistor divider; 0.8V reference enables modern low-voltage microprocessor core supplies. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1% over temperature and line/load - ensures stable regulation for sensitive digital loads. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 265–335kHz (typ, COSC = 47pF) - externally programmable for efficiency/size trade-off; synchronizable up to 500kHz. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 60–85mV (ΔVSENSE(MAX)) - sets peak inductor current limit; foldback reduces trip point under short-circuit conditions. |
| Shutdown Quiescent Current | <25µA (IQ) - enables ultra-low-power system standby states without compromising startup reliability. |
| Duty Cycle Max | 98–99.4% - supports very low dropout operation (e.g., 5V→4.9V), critical for high-VIN, low-VOUT conversion. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 20-Lead Plastic TSSOP (F package), JEDEC MO-153 compliant, 0.65mm pitch, exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin count and layout match LTC1735F series; NC pins are unconnected and must be left floating or grounded per layout guidelines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19, 20, 11 | NC | No-connect pins; electrically isolated and thermally inactive - no routing or soldering required. |
| 2 (COSC) | Oscillator Timing Input | Connects external capacitor to ground; sets switching frequency and enables synchronization via FCB pin. |
| 3 (RUN/SS) | Run Control / Soft-Start | Capacitor-to-ground sets soft-start ramp time (~1.25s/µF); <1.5V forces shutdown with full circuit disable. |
| 4 (ITH) | Error Amplifier Compensation | Controls peak inductor current; voltage range 0–2.4V directly modulates current comparator threshold. |
| 5 (FCB) | Forced Continuous / Sync Input | Ground = forced continuous; INTVCC = Burst Mode; external clock = synchronized constant-frequency operation. |
| 6 (SGND) | Small-Signal Ground | Reference node for COSC, CSS, feedback divider, and compensation network - single-point tie to PGND required. |
| 7 (VOSENSE) | Feedback Input | Receives divided output voltage; servo loop maintains 0.8V at this pin for precise regulation. |
| 8 (PGOOD) | Power-Good Output | Open-drain signal asserted low when VOSENSE deviates >±7.5% from 0.8V - enables system sequencing and fault detection. |
| 9 (SENSE–) | Current Sense Negative | Inverting input of current comparator; referenced to SGND; used with SENSE+ to detect RSENSE voltage drop. |
| 10 (SENSE+) | Current Sense Positive | Non-inverting input of current comparator; common-mode range extends to 1.1×INTVCC - supports high-side sensing. |
| 12 (TG) | Top Gate Driver Output | Drives gate of high-side N-MOSFET; floating driver referenced to SW node; 3A peak current capability. |
| 13 (BOOST) | Bootstrap Supply | Return for external bootstrap capacitor; voltage swing = INTVCC superimposed on SW - enables high-side drive. |
| 14 (SW) | Switch Node | Connection to inductor and bootstrap diode; voltage swings from ~–0.4V (Schottky drop) to VIN - high dV/dt node. |
| 15 (VIN) | Main Power Input | Primary supply rail; decoupling capacitor must be placed adjacent to pin; supports 4V–30V operation. |
| 16 (INTVCC) | Internal Regulator Output | 5.2V regulated supply for logic and drivers; requires 1µF ceramic + ≥4.7µF tantalum decoupling at pin. |
| 17 (BG) | Bottom Gate Driver Output | Drives gate of low-side N-MOSFET; rail-to-rail swing from PGND to INTVCC; 3A peak current capability. |
| 18 (PGND) | Power Ground | High-current return path for BG, SW, and CIN negative terminal - separate from SGND to minimize noise coupling. |
| 19 (EXTVCC) | External VCC Input | Optional 4.7–7V supply to power INTVCC; bypasses internal LDO for higher efficiency and gate drive headroom. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Burst Mode™ Operation | Enables >85% efficiency at 10mA load by disabling switching until output droop triggers burst - ideal for battery-powered systems. |
| OPTI-LOOP™ Compensation | Allows stable loop response across wide range of output capacitor ESR and capacitance values - simplifies design with ceramic or polymer capacitors. |
| Remote Output Voltage Sense (VOSENSE) | Compensates for IR drop in PCB traces and connectors - maintains ±1% regulation at load point, not at IC pins. |
| Programmable Forced Continuous Mode | FCB pin control eliminates low-frequency ripple and enables secondary winding regulation - critical for multi-output flyback-derived topologies. |
| Integrated Overvoltage Crowbar Protection | Clamps output during transient overshoot (>±7.5%) by turning off TG and enabling BG - prevents damage to downstream logic. |
| Latched Short-Circuit Shutdown | Uses RUN/SS capacitor (CSS) as timeout timer; shuts down after sustained overcurrent and requires pin recycle - protects MOSFETs and inductor. |

FAQ
What is the function of the FCB pin on the LTC1735IF#TRPBF?
The FCB pin on the LTC1735IF#TRPBF controls operating mode: grounding enables forced continuous conduction (reducing noise), connecting to INTVCC activates Burst Mode™ for light-load efficiency, and applying an external clock (0.9–1.3× fOSC) synchronizes switching. The LTC1735IF#TRPBF does not operate in Burst Mode™ when FCB is below 0.76V, and the pin must remain un-driven during shutdown (RUN/SS low).
Does the LTC1735IF#TRPBF support remote voltage sensing?
Yes, the LTC1735IF#TRPBF supports true remote output voltage sensing via dedicated VOSENSE, SENSE+, and SENSE– pins. This allows feedback to be taken directly at the load, compensating for IR drop in PCB traces and connectors. The LTC1735IF#TRPBF maintains ±1% output regulation accuracy at the remote point when properly implemented with Kelvin connections.
What protection features are integrated into the LTC1735IF#TRPBF?
The LTC1735IF#TRPBF integrates internal foldback current limiting, output overvoltage crowbar protection (triggered at >±7.5% VOSENSE deviation), latched short-circuit shutdown with user-programmable timeout via RUN/SS capacitor, and undervoltage lockout (UVLO) at 3.5V. These features protect external MOSFETs, inductors, and downstream loads without requiring external circuitry.
How does the LTC1735IF#TRPBF achieve high efficiency at light loads?
The LTC1735IF#TRPBF achieves high light-load efficiency via Burst Mode™ operation: when FCB ≥ 0.8V, the controller discontinues switching cycles until output voltage droop triggers a burst of pulses to recharge the output capacitor. This reduces average switching losses, enabling >85% efficiency at 10mA load. The LTC1735IF#TRPBF exits Burst Mode™ automatically when load increases beyond ~25% of maximum rated current.
Is the LTC1735IF#TRPBF pin-compatible with other members of the LTC1735 family?
The LTC1735IF#TRPBF is pin-compatible with the LTC1735F variants (e.g., LTC1735CF, LTC1735IF) in the 20-lead TSSOP package, sharing identical pinout, functionality, and PGOOD output. It is not pin-compatible with 16-lead SO or SSOP versions (LTC1735CS, LTC1735IS), which lack PGOOD and have different pin assignments for NC and EXTVCC functions.
