Product details
Overview
LTC1771IS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-efficiency current-mode step-down DC/DC controller driving an external P-channel MOSFET, featuring 10µA no-load quiescent current, 2.8V–20V input range, and ±2% output voltage accuracy over temperature. It supports up to 5A output current with 100% duty cycle for low-dropout operation and is optimized for battery-powered systems requiring ultralow standby power.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1771IS8#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1771IS8#TRPBF pinout, LTC1771IS8#TRPBF application, or LTC1771IS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its constant off-time architecture, Burst Mode™ enable/disable via MODE pin, programmable soft-start via RUN/SS, current-sense threshold of 140mV max, and MSOP-8 thermal performance (θJA = 200°C/W).
Technical Context
The LTC1771IS8#TRPBF implements a constant off-time, current-mode control architecture with a fixed 3.5µs off-time at regulation and up to 70µs during fault conditions. Its error amplifier output (ITH pin) directly controls peak inductor current, while internal 1.23V reference and feedback comparator (VFB pin) enable precise output voltage regulation across line and load transients.
It integrates micropower shutdown (2µA IQ), defeatable Burst Mode™ operation for sub-mA efficiency, and robust protection including short-circuit detection via SENSE pin, 100% duty cycle capability, and thermal shutdown at TJ = 125°C. The device operates across –40°C to +85°C and requires no external compensation for basic stability due to OPTI-LOOP™ architecture on ITH.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.8V to 20V - supports single- to quad-cell Li-ion, 5V/12V rails, and wide industrial inputs without external regulators. |
| No-Load Supply Current | 10µA - enables multi-week battery life in always-on portable instruments and wireless modems. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 1.23V ±2% - sets output voltage via external resistor divider; stable over –40°C to +85°C. |
| Max Output Current | 5A - achievable with appropriate external P-MOSFET, sense resistor, and inductor; limited by thermal design and RSENSE. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 110–140mV - programs peak switch current; determines maximum load and short-circuit trip point. |
| Off-Time Duration | 3.5µs (typical) - defines minimum switching frequency (~285kHz at VOUT/VIN = 0.5); extends to 70µs under short-circuit for safe inductor discharge. |
| Shutdown Current | 2µA - reduces system standby power to near-zero; activated by pulling RUN/SS below 0.5V. |
| Package Thermal Resistance | θJA = 200°C/W (MSOP-8) - requires minimal PCB copper for thermal management in space-constrained designs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-Lead MSOP (MS8), RoHS-compliant, exposed pad not electrically connected. Dimensions: 3.0mm × 3.0mm × 1.1mm, pitch 0.65mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RUN/SS (Pin 1) | Enable & Soft-Start Control | Pull below 0.5V for shutdown (IQ = 2µA); connect capacitor for linear soft-start ramp (1µA charge current). |
| ITH (Pin 2) | Error Amplifier Output | Controls peak inductor current; voltage range 0–3V; used for loop compensation and burst threshold clamping. |
| VFB (Pin 3) | Feedback Input | Compares divided output voltage to 1.23V reference; 10nA input bias enables high-resistor-divider networks. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Analog & Power Ground | Common return for feedback, error amp, and internal references; separate from PGATE return path. |
| PGATE (Pin 5) | P-Channel MOSFET Driver | High-current gate driver (1A peak); swings from GND to VIN; drives external high-side switch. |
| VIN (Pin 6) | Main Power Input | Supplies internal circuitry and PGATE driver; accepts 2.8V–20V; absolute max 20V. |
| SENSE (Pin 7) | Current Sense Input | Monitors voltage drop across external RSENSE; sets current limit and Burst Mode entry threshold. |
| MODE (Pin 8) | Burst Mode Enable | Connect to VIN (>2V) to enable Burst Mode™; tie to GND to disable for low-noise continuous operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant Off-Time Architecture | Enables stable operation across wide VIN/VOUT ratios without external frequency programming; simplifies EMI filtering. |
| Defeatable Burst Mode™ | Reduces no-load IQ to 9µA (sleep mode) and enables >90% efficiency down to 1mA load; disable via MODE pin for noise-sensitive applications. |
| 100% Duty Cycle Capability | Supports dropout operation (VIN ≈ VOUT); critical for battery end-of-life support in Li-ion systems. |
| Integrated Soft-Start | Programmed via external capacitor on RUN/SS; prevents inrush current and enables controlled power sequencing. |
| Short-Circuit Protection | Auto-recovering current limiting via SENSE pin; no latch-up; protects MOSFET and inductor during sustained faults. |
| OPTI-LOOP™ Compensation | Single-pole compensation on ITH pin eliminates need for complex Type II/III networks; ensures stability with diverse output capacitors. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current supported by the LTC1771IS8#TRPBF?
The LTC1771IS8#TRPBF is a controller-not a converter-and supports up to 5A output current depending on external component selection: P-MOSFET RDS(ON), inductor saturation current, RSENSE value (100mV/IMAX rule), and thermal layout. At 5A, proper heatsinking of the MSOP-8 package and low-ESR output capacitors are essential to maintain regulation and reliability.
Does the LTC1771IS8#TRPBF require an external compensation network?
Yes, the LTC1771IS8#TRPBF uses OPTI-LOOP™ architecture on the ITH pin, requiring an external RC network (typically 1–10nF capacitor + 10–100kΩ resistor) between ITH and GND for loop stability. Unlike voltage-mode controllers, this single-pole compensation simplifies design and maintains stability across varied output capacitor ESR and capacitance values.
How does Burst Mode™ operation affect output voltage ripple on the LTC1771IS8#TRPBF?
Burst Mode™ on the LTC1771IS8#TRPBF increases low-frequency ripple (tens to hundreds of Hz) due to intermittent switching bursts, but minimizes high-frequency noise. Adding a 5pF feedforward capacitor across the upper feedback resistor (R2) suppresses this ripple. Disabling Burst Mode™ via the MODE pin restores continuous switching and eliminates burst-related ripple at the cost of reduced light-load efficiency.
Can the LTC1771IS8#TRPBF operate with a 2.5V input supply?
No-the LTC1771IS8#TRPBF has a minimum input voltage of 2.8V per Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. Operation below 2.8V risks improper gate drive, unstable regulation, or failure to start. For sub-2.8V battery applications, consider the LTC3642 or LTC3639, which support down to 2.2V.
What is the purpose of the SENSE pin on the LTC1771IS8#TRPBF?
The SENSE pin on the LTC1771IS8#TRPBF monitors the voltage drop across an external current-sense resistor (RSENSE) connected between VIN and the source of the external P-MOSFET. It sets both the peak switch current limit (110–140mV threshold) and the Burst Mode™ entry point, enabling accurate current limiting and adaptive light-load efficiency optimization.
