Product details
Overview
LTC1772BES6#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a constant-frequency, current-mode step-down DC/DC controller in TSOT-23-6 package, designed for battery-powered systems requiring high efficiency and low output ripple. It delivers up to 2A output current with 0.8V feedback reference, 550kHz fixed switching frequency, ±2.5% output voltage accuracy, and operates from 2.5V to 9.8V input. Used in lithium-ion-powered portable electronics for stable 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V regulation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1772BES6#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1772BES6#TRPBF pinout, LTC1772BES6#TRPBF application, or LTC1772BES6#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its non-Burst Mode operation (lower light-load ripple), 100% duty-cycle dropout capability, 8μA shutdown current, P-channel MOSFET gate drive, and precise 0.8V VFB reference with ±2.5% tolerance over –40°C to 85°C.
Technical Context
The LTC1772BES6#TRPBF implements a current-mode control architecture with internal slope compensation active above 40% duty cycle, enabling stable operation with small inductors. Its error amplifier drives the ITH/RUN pin to regulate peak inductor current via external sense resistor, while the 0.8V reference sets output voltage via resistive divider on VFB.
It integrates undervoltage lockout (UVLO) at 2.0V (typ), overvoltage protection (OVP) at 7.5% above VREF with 20mV hysteresis, short-circuit foldback limiting, and 550kHz oscillator with ±10% variation over temperature. PGATE swings rail-to-rail (0V to VIN) to drive external P-channel MOSFETs with logic-level threshold requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 9.8V - supports single/dual Li-ion, NiMH, and regulated 3.3V/5V rails without external LDO pre-regulation. |
| Switching Frequency | 550kHz (typ) - enables use of compact 4.7μH–10μH inductors and reduces EMI fundamental frequency. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 0.800V ±2.5% (–40°C to 85°C) - sets precise output voltage via external resistor divider; enables 0.8V–9.8V programmable outputs. |
| Quiescent Current | 270μA (normal), 8μA (shutdown) - extends battery life in always-on or low-duty-cycle portable devices. |
| UVLO Threshold | 2.00V (typ, falling) - prevents erratic operation and MOSFET stress during brownout or deep battery discharge. |
| Peak Sense Voltage | 105mV - determines current limit via RSENSE = 0.105V / IPEAK; enables accurate overcurrent protection. |
| Gate Drive Capability | PGATE sinks/sources >1A peak (<10μs), rise/fall time ≤40ns (CLOAD=3000pF) - ensures fast, low-loss switching of P-MOSFETs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-lead TSOT-23 (S6), 1.90mm × 2.90mm × 0.85mm profile, thermal resistance θJA = 230°C/W, rated for –40°C to +85°C ambient operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ITH/RUN (Pin 1) | Error amplifier output & shutdown control | Pull below 0.35V to disable regulator; internal 0.5μA current source charges external compensation network on wake-up. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power and signal reference ground | Must be low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane; serves as return for sense resistor, input capacitor, and feedback divider. |
| VFB (Pin 3) | Feedback input to error amplifier | Compares external resistive divider voltage against 0.8V reference; regulates output by adjusting ITH/RUN voltage. |
| SENSE– (Pin 4) | Negative current-sense comparator input | Connects directly to low-side of external sense resistor; senses voltage drop proportional to inductor peak current. |
| VIN (Pin 5) | Main power supply input | Supplies internal circuitry and PGATE driver; must be decoupled with ≥10μF ceramic capacitor close to pin. |
| PGATE (Pin 6) | External P-channel MOSFET gate driver | Swings from 0V to VIN; drives gate capacitance directly-no external level shifter required for P-MOSFETs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Non-Burst Mode operation | Eliminates low-frequency switching at light loads, reducing output ripple to ~20mVP-P at 100mA vs. 60mVP-P for Burst Mode variants. |
| 100% duty-cycle dropout | Enables continuous conduction when VIN ≈ VOUT; maintains regulation down to (VIN − VDS(ON) − IOUTRSENSE − IOUTRDCR). |
| Accurate 0.8V reference | ±2.5% tolerance over full temperature range ensures stable output voltage across environmental conditions without calibration. |
| Integrated OVP & UVLO | OVP triggers at 0.860V (typ) on VFB with 20mV hysteresis; UVLO disables all circuitry below 2.0V, drawing only 8μA. |
| Current-mode control | Provides inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting, fast transient response to load steps, and simplified loop compensation. |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the LTC1772BES6#TRPBF in a power supply design?
The LTC1772BES6#TRPBF is a constant-frequency, current-mode step-down DC/DC controller that regulates output voltage by driving an external P-channel MOSFET. It uses feedback from a resistive divider on VFB and current sensing across an external resistor on SENSE– to maintain precise output voltage and protect against overcurrent. The LTC1772BES6#TRPBF does not integrate a power switch, enabling flexible MOSFET selection for optimized efficiency and thermal performance.
How does the LTC1772BES6#TRPBF differ from the LTC1772ES6#TRPBF?
The LTC1772BES6#TRPBF disables Burst Mode operation to maintain constant 550kHz switching frequency even at light loads, resulting in lower output voltage ripple (~20mVP-P at 100mA) but reduced light-load efficiency. In contrast, the LTC1772ES6#TRPBF enables Burst Mode, skipping cycles under light load to achieve higher efficiency at the expense of higher ripple (~60mVP-P). Both share identical pinout, package, and core specifications.
What is the recommended minimum external sense resistor value for the LTC1772BES6#TRPBF?
The LTC1772BES6#TRPBF uses a 105mV peak current sense threshold. For a target maximum output current of 2A with 40% ripple, RSENSE ≈ 0.0875Ω (calculated as 0.105V / (2A × 1.2)). The datasheet specifies RSENSE = 0.03Ω in the 2.5V/2A reference design. Values below 0.02Ω risk noise sensitivity and reduced accuracy; values above 0.1Ω limit maximum achievable current and increase I²R losses.
Can the LTC1772BES6#TRPBF operate with input voltages below 2.5V?
No-the absolute minimum input voltage for functional operation is 2.5V per the Electrical Characteristics table. Although the undervoltage lockout threshold is 2.0V (typ), the device requires ≥2.5V to ensure proper gate drive strength, reference stability, and current-sense amplifier accuracy. Operation below 2.5V may result in degraded regulation, increased dropout voltage, or failure to start.
What thermal considerations apply to the LTC1772BES6#TRPBF in high-current applications?
The LTC1772BES6#TRPBF has θJA = 230°C/W in the TSOT-23-6 package. At 270μA quiescent current and typical gate drive losses, junction temperature rise is modest-but PCB copper area under Pin 2 (GND) and thermal vias to inner layers are essential for high-output-current designs. Exceeding TJ = 150°C triggers thermal shutdown; derating is advised above 1A continuous load without enhanced cooling.
