Product details
Overview
LTC1772BIS6#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, low quiescent current (270 μA), ±2.5% output voltage accuracy, and 550 kHz switching frequency. It drives an external P-channel MOSFET to regulate outputs as low as 0.8 V from 2.5–9.8 V input, with 100% duty-cycle dropout operation and undervoltage lockout at 2.0 V.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1772BIS6#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1772BIS6#TRPBF pinout, LTC1772BIS6#TRPBF application, or LTC1772BIS6#TRPBF equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed alternatives, and supply-chain support for portable power designs.
Technical Context
The LTC1772BIS6#TRPBF implements a fixed-frequency (550 kHz) current-mode control architecture with internal slope compensation active above 40% duty cycle. Its error amplifier output (ITH/RUN) sets peak inductor current via the SENSE– comparator threshold of 105 mV, while VFB regulates against a 0.800 V reference with ±2.5% accuracy over –40°C to 85°C.
It features integrated undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with 2.0 V falling threshold, overvoltage protection (OVP) triggered at 7.5% above VREF (0.820 V trip), and short-circuit foldback reducing oscillator frequency to ~120 kHz. Shutdown draws only 8 μA, and PGATE provides rail-to-rail drive (0 V to VIN) for external P-MOSFETs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 550 kHz typical - enables compact 4.7 μH inductors and reduces EMI filtering burden. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 9.8 V - supports single/dual Li-ion, NiMH, and regulated 3.3/5 V rails. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±2.5% over –40°C to 85°C - ensures stable 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V regulation under thermal stress. |
| Quiescent Current | 270 μA typical - extends battery life in always-on portable devices without sacrificing regulation speed. |
| UVLO Threshold | 2.0 V (falling) - prevents erratic operation during deep battery discharge while allowing full utilization down to 2.0 V. |
| Peak Sense Voltage | 105 mV - sets precise current limit with minimal I²R loss across RSENSE, supporting accurate 0.5–2 A output designs. |
| Shutdown Current | 8 μA - enables ultra-low-power system sleep modes with fast wake-up via ITH/RUN pin. |
Pinout & Package
The LTC1772BIS6#TRPBF is housed in a 6-lead plastic TSOT-23 package (S6), measuring 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm × 0.85 mm, with exposed pad not electrically connected. Thermal resistance θJA = 230°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: ITH/RUN | Error amplifier output & shutdown control | Drives external compensation network; <0.35 V forces shutdown; 0.85–1.9 V range sets peak current and enables regulation. |
| 2: GND | Power and signal reference ground | Must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling into SENSE– and VFB paths. |
| 3: VFB | Feedback input to error amplifier | Compares output divider voltage to 0.800 V reference; requires <50 nA bias current for precision resistor selection. |
| 4: SENSE– | Negative current sense input | Monitors voltage drop across external RSENSE; referenced to VIN (not ground); rejects common-mode noise up to VIN + 0.3 V. |
| 5: VIN | Main power supply input | Supplies internal circuitry and PGATE driver; must be decoupled within 2 mm of Pin 5 and Pin 2 with ≥10 μF ceramic capacitor. |
| 6: PGATE | P-channel MOSFET gate driver output | Swings 0 V to VIN; capable of 1 A peak current for fast turn-on/turn-off of logic-level P-MOSFETs (e.g., Si3443DV). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No Burst Mode operation | Ensures constant 550 kHz switching down to 5% load - eliminates low-frequency ripple and EMI modulation seen in Burst Mode parts like LTC1772. |
| 100% duty-cycle dropout | Enables seamless transition to linear regulation when VIN ≈ VOUT - critical for Li-ion systems maintaining 3.3 V output until battery reaches 3.4 V. |
| Low 8 μA shutdown current | Permits integration into host MCU power domains where <10 μA standby draw is mandatory for multi-week battery life. |
| Integrated OVP with 20 mV hysteresis | Protects downstream ICs from transient overshoots (e.g., load dump) by disabling PGATE until VFB falls below 0.795 V. |
| Current-mode control with slope compensation | Guarantees stable loop response across 0–100% duty cycle - eliminates need for external compensation components in most 1.8–3.3 V applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1772ES6#TRPBF | Same functionality but rated for 0°C to 85°C (vs. –40°C to 85°C for LTC1772BIS6#TRPBF); identical electrical specs and pinout. | Suitable for commercial-grade consumer electronics; not qualified for extended temperature industrial or automotive use. | Select LTC1772ES6#TRPBF only if ambient operating temperature stays above 0°C. |
| LTC1772 | Includes Burst Mode™ operation - reduces light-load ripple but increases low-frequency noise; same 550 kHz nominal frequency. | Better suited for ultra-low-power IoT sensors where average efficiency >85% at 10 μA load matters more than ripple spectrum. | Choose LTC1772 only when light-load efficiency outweighs EMI and analog supply noise concerns. |
Compared with LTC1772ES6#TRPBF, the LTC1772BIS6#TRPBF guarantees full –40°C to 85°C performance, making it essential for outdoor or automotive-adjacent portable equipment; versus LTC1772, its non-Burst Mode operation delivers lower output ripple at light loads but trades off some efficiency below 10 mA.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the LTC1772BIS6#TRPBF in a power supply design?
The LTC1772BIS6#TRPBF is a constant-frequency current-mode step-down DC/DC controller that regulates output voltage by driving an external P-channel MOSFET. It accepts 2.5–9.8 V input and delivers tightly regulated outputs as low as 0.8 V with ±2.5% accuracy. The LTC1772BIS6#TRPBF integrates UVLO, OVP, and shutdown control, and operates at 550 kHz to enable small external components - making it ideal for portable Li-ion-powered systems where size, efficiency, and low-noise operation are critical.
How does the LTC1772BIS6#TRPBF differ from the LTC1772 in terms of light-load behavior?
The LTC1772BIS6#TRPBF disables Burst Mode™ operation, maintaining constant 550 kHz switching even at very light loads (e.g., 100 mA), resulting in significantly lower output ripple (20 mVP-P) compared to the Burst Mode-enabled LTC1772 (60 mVP-P). This comes at the cost of reduced light-load efficiency. The LTC1772BIS6#TRPBF achieves predictable EMI spectra and avoids audible noise, whereas the LTC1772 dynamically skips cycles to improve efficiency but introduces low-frequency ripple components.
What is the recommended external P-channel MOSFET for use with the LTC1772BIS6#TRPBF?
For reliable operation with the LTC1772BIS6#TRPBF, select a logic-level P-channel MOSFET with VGS(th) ≤ –1.5 V and RDS(ON) specified at VGS = –2.5 V (e.g., Si3443DV or FDC638P). The LTC1772BIS6#TRPBF's PGATE pin swings from 0 V to VIN, so the MOSFET must withstand |VGS| ≤ VIN (max 10 V) and support peak currents up to 1 A. Gate charge should be minimized to reduce switching losses at 550 kHz.
Can the LTC1772BIS6#TRPBF operate with input voltages below 2.5 V?
The LTC1772BIS6#TRPBF has an absolute minimum input voltage of 2.5 V per datasheet specifications, and its undervoltage lockout activates at 2.0 V (falling). While the device may briefly function near 2.3 V, regulation degrades significantly below 2.5 V due to insufficient headroom for PGATE drive and internal biasing. For true sub-2.5 V operation, consider the LTC1771 (10 μA IQ, 2.8 V min VIN) or LTC1622 (2.0 V min VIN). The LTC1772BIS6#TRPBF is not characterized or guaranteed for sustained operation below 2.5 V.
What is the purpose of the SENSE– pin on the LTC1772BIS6#TRPBF, and how should it be routed?
The SENSE– pin on the LTC1772BIS6#TRPBF is the negative input to the current comparator, measuring the voltage drop across the external sense resistor (RSENSE) to regulate peak inductor current. It must be connected directly to the low-side of RSENSE - not to ground - and routed as a Kelvin connection with minimal trace length (<2 mm) and no shared return paths. Because SENSE– is referenced to VIN (not GND), routing errors cause gain errors and instability. The LTC1772BIS6#TRPBF datasheet specifies strict layout rules: keep SENSE– trace short, avoid crossing noisy nodes, and place RSENSE adjacent to VIN and GND pins.
