Product details
Overview
LTC1772ES6#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a constant-frequency, current-mode step-down DC/DC controller in a 6-lead SOT-23 package, designed to drive an external P-channel MOSFET for high-efficiency buck conversion. It delivers ±2.5% output voltage accuracy, operates from 2.5V to 9.8V input, supports 550kHz switching, and enables 100% duty-cycle dropout operation. It is used in lithium-ion-powered portable electronics requiring compact, low-quiescent-current regulation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1772ES6#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC1772ES6#TRMPBF pinout, LTC1772ES6#TRMPBF application, or LTC1772ES6#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range, 0.8V internal reference enabling low-output-voltage designs, Burst Mode® operation for light-load efficiency, UVLO threshold of 2.00V (typ), and gate drive capability for external P-MOSFETs with 1A peak sink/source.
Technical Context
The LTC1772ES6#TRMPBF implements a fixed-frequency current-mode control architecture with slope compensation above 40% duty cycle, using an internal 0.8V reference and error amplifier feedback via VFB. Its ITH/RUN pin serves dual roles: compensation node and run/shutdown control, with 0.35V threshold for shutdown activation and 0.7–1.9V nominal operating range.
It integrates undervoltage lockout (UVLO), overvoltage protection (OVP at 7.5% above VREF with 20mV hysteresis), short-circuit frequency foldback (to ~120kHz), and sleep-mode logic that reduces quiescent current to 230–370µA during light-load Burst Mode operation - all while maintaining precise peak-current sensing via SENSE– with 120mV threshold.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 9.8V - supports single- or dual-cell Li-ion battery inputs without external LDO pre-regulation. |
| Switching Frequency | 550kHz (typ) - enables use of small 4.7µH inductors and reduces output ripple filtering burden. |
| Reference Voltage | 0.800V (±2.5%) - sets minimum output voltage; allows 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V outputs with standard resistor dividers. |
| Quiescent Current | 270µA (typ) - minimizes battery drain in active mode; critical for always-on portable systems. |
| Shutdown Current | 8µA (typ) - extends shelf life and standby time in battery-backed applications. |
| UVLO Threshold | 2.00V (typ, falling) - prevents erratic operation below safe Li-ion cell voltage, protecting system integrity. |
| Peak Sense Voltage | 120mV - defines current limit threshold across RSENSE; enables accurate, scalable output current setting. |
Pinout & Package
The LTC1772ES6#TRMPBF is housed in a 6-lead plastic TSOT-23 (S6) package, 1.90mm × 2.80mm footprint, 0.95mm height, RoHS-compliant and lead-free (#PBF).
| 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 | Must be low-impedance connection shared with CIN, RSENSE, and output capacitor negative terminal. |
| VFB (Pin 3) | Feedback input to error amplifier | Compares divided output voltage against 0.8V reference; determines regulation setpoint. |
| SENSE– (Pin 4) | Negative current-sense comparator input | Monitors voltage drop across external sense resistor; triggers MOSFET turn-off when 120mV threshold reached. |
| VIN (Pin 5) | Main power supply input | Supplies internal circuitry and gate driver; must be decoupled with ≥10µF ceramic capacitor close to pin. |
| PGATE (Pin 6) | High-side P-MOSFET gate driver output | Sources/sinks up to 1A peak; swings from 0V to VIN; requires low-inductance layout to minimize ringing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant 550kHz frequency | Enables predictable EMI filtering and consistent inductor sizing across designs; avoids subharmonic instability. |
| Burst Mode® operation | Reduces light-load quiescent current to ~230µA while maintaining regulation - essential for battery runtime extension. |
| 100% duty-cycle dropout | Allows continuous conduction as VIN approaches VOUT, maximizing usable battery voltage range down to ~2.0V. |
| Integrated UVLO and OVP | Provides autonomous protection: UVLO disables regulator below 2.0V; OVP shuts off PGATE if VFB exceeds 0.86V (7.5% over VREF). |
| Current-mode control with slope compensation | Delivers fast transient response to load steps and stable operation up to 90% duty cycle with external P-MOSFET. |

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 N-channel MOSFET drive; synchronizable to 750kHz; includes soft-start. | Requires external bootstrap circuitry for N-MOSFET; higher pin count; better suited for higher-current (>2A) designs. | Select when needing higher output current, synchronization, or N-MOSFET efficiency advantages - not drop-in compatible. |
| TPS54202DRCT | Integrated N-MOSFETs (2A); 4.5–17V input; 500kHz fixed freq; 25µA shutdown current. | Monolithic solution eliminates external MOSFET and sense resistor; wider VIN but no 100% dropout or Burst Mode®. | Choose for simplified BOM and layout where 2A integrated switch suffices and 100% duty cycle is not required. |
Compared with LTC1622CGN#PBF and TPS54202DRCT, the LTC1772ES6#TRMPBF offers unique value in ultra-low quiescent current, true 100% dropout, and P-MOSFET simplicity for sub-2A Li-ion applications - but requires external FET and sense resistor, unlike the monolithic TPS54202DRCT.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC1772ES6#TRMPBF?
The LTC1772ES6#TRMPBF is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This extended range is validated per Linear Technology's characterization and statistical process controls, making it suitable for industrial and automotive-adjacent portable applications where thermal robustness is required. The device's junction temperature must remain ≤150°C under all conditions.
Does the LTC1772ES6#TRMPBF support 100% duty-cycle operation, and how does it behave in dropout?
Yes, the LTC1772ES6#TRMPBF supports 100% duty-cycle operation. When VIN drops near VOUT, the controller sustains conduction by holding the external P-channel MOSFET fully on, allowing output voltage to track VIN minus losses across the MOSFET, sense resistor, and inductor. This dropout behavior maximizes usable battery energy - critical for Li-ion systems where every millivolt matters.
What is the function of the ITH/RUN pin on the LTC1772ES6#TRMPBF?
The ITH/RUN pin on the LTC1772ES6#TRMPBF serves two functions: it is the output of the internal error amplifier (used for loop compensation with external RC network) and the run/shutdown control input. Pulling this pin below 0.35V disables the controller and forces PGATE high; releasing it allows an internal 0.5µA current source to charge the compensation network and re-enable regulation once voltage reaches ~0.7V.
Can the LTC1772ES6#TRMPBF drive an N-channel MOSFET instead of a P-channel MOSFET?
No, the LTC1772ES6#TRMPBF is designed exclusively for external P-channel MOSFET drive via its PGATE output, which swings from 0V to VIN. It lacks bootstrap circuitry or high-side gate drive capability required for N-MOSFETs. For N-channel solutions, consider alternatives like the LTC1622 or LTC1624 - but those are not pin-compatible replacements for the LTC1772ES6#TRMPBF.
What is the typical efficiency of a design using the LTC1772ES6#TRMPBF, and what factors most affect it?
A well-designed LTC1772ES6#TRMPBF circuit achieves up to 94% peak efficiency at moderate loads (e.g., 2A @ 2.5V out from 6V in). Efficiency is most affected by MOSFET RDS(ON), inductor DCR, Schottky diode forward voltage, and switching losses - especially gate charge at 550kHz. Light-load efficiency is enhanced by Burst Mode®, reducing quiescent current to ~230µA without sacrificing regulation.
