Product details
Overview
LTC1772CS6#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a constant-frequency, current-mode step-down DC/DC controller in SOT-23 packaging, designed to drive an external P-channel MOSFET for high-efficiency buck conversion. It delivers ±2.5% output voltage accuracy, 550kHz fixed switching frequency, 270µA quiescent current, and supports 100% duty cycle dropout operation across 2.5V–9.8V input range with 0.8V internal reference.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1772CS6#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1772CS6#TRPBF pinout, LTC1772CS6#TRPBF application, or LTC1772CS6#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its Burst Mode™ operation for light-load efficiency, UVLO threshold of 2.0V (typ), gate drive capability for P-MOSFETs, low 8µA shutdown current, and compatibility with compact 6-lead SOT-23 layouts in space-constrained portable power systems.
Technical Context
The LTC1772CS6#TRPBF implements a current-mode control architecture with slope-compensated PWM, using an external resistive divider on VFB to regulate output voltage via a precise 0.8V reference. Its ITH/RUN pin serves dual roles: error amplifier compensation node and run/shutdown control, with 0.35V threshold for shutdown activation.
It features integrated overvoltage protection (OVP) triggered at 7.5% above VREF with 20mV hysteresis, short-circuit foldback reducing oscillator frequency to ~120kHz, and undervoltage lockout disabling all circuitry except UVLO block below 2.0V. The PGATE output swings rail-to-rail (0V to VIN) to drive P-MOSFET gates directly.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Frequency | 550kHz (typ); enables use of small 4.7µH inductors and reduces output ripple filtering burden. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 9.8V; supports single/dual Li-ion battery inputs and distributed 3.3V/2.5V/1.8V rails. |
| Reference Voltage | 0.800V (±2.5%); sets minimum output voltage and defines feedback divider ratio for precise regulation. |
| Quiescent Current | 270µA (typ); minimizes standby power loss in battery-powered systems during active regulation. |
| Shutdown Current | 8µA (typ); extends battery life in off-state without requiring external disconnect switches. |
| UVLO Threshold | 2.00V (falling, C-grade); prevents unstable operation or MOSFET stress during brownout conditions. |
| Peak Sense Voltage | 120mV; determines current limit threshold across external sense resistor for overcurrent protection. |
Pinout & Package
The LTC1772CS6#TRPBF is housed in a 6-lead plastic SOT-23 package (JEDEC MO-193 compliant), measuring 2.90mm × 1.60mm × 1.00mm, with gull-wing leads and exposed pad not present. Pin 1 is marked by a dot or bevelled edge.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ITH/RUN (Pin 1) | Error amplifier output & shutdown control | Drives external compensation network; pulled below 0.35V disables regulator and holds PGATE high. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power and signal reference ground | Return path for internal circuits, sense resistor, and input/output capacitors; must be low-impedance. |
| VFB (Pin 3) | Feedback input to error amplifier | Compares divided output voltage against 0.8V reference; sets regulated output via R1/R2 divider. |
| SENSE– (Pin 4) | Negative current sense input | Monitors voltage drop across external sense resistor to detect peak inductor current for cycle-by-cycle limiting. |
| VIN (Pin 5) | Main power supply input | Bias source for internal circuitry and gate driver; requires local 0.1µF ceramic decoupling to GND. |
| PGATE (Pin 6) | P-channel MOSFET gate driver output | Swings from 0V to VIN to fully enhance external P-MOSFET; capable of 1A peak sink/source for fast switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant-frequency current-mode control | Delivers stable loop response with predictable ESR zero placement and immunity to input line variations. |
| Burst Mode™ operation | Reduces switching activity at light loads, maintaining >85% efficiency down to 1mA output current. |
| 100% duty cycle dropout | Enables continuous conduction when VIN ≈ VOUT, eliminating output collapse during battery discharge. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1622CGN#PBF | 8-lead MSOP; supports sync-to-external clock up to 750kHz; includes soft-start; higher max output current (4.5A). | Requires larger layout; suited for higher-current or synchronized multi-rail systems. | Choose LTC1622CGN#PBF when >2A output or clock synchronization is required; not pin-compatible. |
| LTC1702EGN#PBF | 2-phase dual controller in 20-lead SSOP; drives two external MOSFET pairs; 550kHz per phase. | Targets high-current (>5A), low-ripple applications; doubles effective switching frequency for smaller magnetics. | Choose LTC1702EGN#PBF for dual-phase 5A+ loads; incompatible pinout and control scheme. |
Compared with LTC1772CS6#TRPBF, LTC1622CGN#PBF offers higher integration and current capability but larger size, while LTC1702EGN#PBF provides multi-phase scalability at the cost of complexity-neither is pin-compatible, making LTC1772CS6#TRPBF optimal for compact, single-phase ≤2A designs.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC1772CS6#TRPBF?
The LTC1772CS6#TRPBF is specified for operation from 0°C to +70°C ambient temperature. This commercial-grade rating aligns with its intended use in consumer portable devices such as cellular phones and modems. The device incorporates thermal shutdown protection and is rated for junction temperatures up to 150°C, though sustained operation above 125°C degrades lifetime reliability.
Does the LTC1772CS6#TRPBF require an external P-channel MOSFET?
Yes, the LTC1772CS6#TRPBF is a controller-not a complete regulator-and requires an external P-channel MOSFET connected to the PGATE pin. It does not integrate any power switches. The controller drives the MOSFET gate with rail-to-rail swing (0V to VIN) and supports logic-level P-MOSFETs with VGS(th) ≤ 2.5V for low-input-voltage operation. Selection guidelines for RDS(ON), CRSS, and gate charge are provided in the official datasheet.
How does Burst Mode™ operation improve efficiency in the LTC1772CS6#TRPBF?
Burst Mode™ operation in the LTC1772CS6#TRPBF reduces switching frequency and gate drive activity at light loads, cutting dynamic losses. When ITH/RUN falls below 0.85V, the controller enters sleep mode-holding PGATE high and halting switching-then resumes normal 550kHz operation when ITH/RUN rises above 0.925V. This enables efficiencies >85% at 1mA output, far exceeding standard PWM mode, which is essential for extending battery life in standby states.
Can the LTC1772CS6#TRPBF be used with N-channel MOSFETs?
No, the LTC1772CS6#TRPBF is designed exclusively for external P-channel MOSFETs. Its PGATE output swings from 0V to VIN, which correctly biases a P-MOSFET's gate relative to its source. Driving an N-MOSFET would require a bootstrap or floating gate driver stage, which the LTC1772CS6#TRPBF does not provide. For N-MOSFET-based controllers, consider alternatives like the LTC1624 or LTC1735.
What is the purpose of the SENSE– pin on the LTC1772CS6#TRPBF?
SENSE– (Pin 4) is the negative input to the internal current comparator, used to monitor the voltage drop across an external sense resistor placed between the source of the P-MOSFET and ground. It enables cycle-by-cycle peak current limiting and current-mode control. Accurate routing-short trace, Kelvin connection close to the resistor-is critical to avoid noise coupling and ensure stable current sensing, especially at high di/dt edges.
