Product details
Overview
LTC1772ES6#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 LTC1772ES6#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1772ES6#TRPBF pinout, LTC1772ES6#TRPBF application, or LTC1772ES6#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature rating, Burst Mode™ operation for light-load efficiency, undervoltage lockout at 2.0V (falling), overvoltage protection at 7.5% above VREF, and compatibility with low-threshold P-MOSFETs for sub-3V input operation.
Technical Context
The LTC1772ES6#TRPBF implements a current-mode control architecture with slope-compensated PWM, where peak inductor current is set by the ITH/RUN pin voltage and sensed via the SENSE– pin. Its oscillator operates at 550kHz under normal conditions but folds back to ~120kHz during short-circuit events to limit inductor current slew rate and prevent runaway.
Control logic integrates undervoltage lockout (UVLO), burst mode sleep/wake thresholds (0.85V/0.925V on ITH/RUN), overvoltage protection (0.820–0.895V at VFB with 20mV hysteresis), and shutdown activation below 0.35V on ITH/RUN. Gate drive delivers 1A peak current with 40ns rise/fall times into 3000pF load, swinging PGATE from 0V to VIN.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Temperature Range | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments with full electrical specs guaranteed. |
| Switching Frequency | 500–650kHz (typ. 550kHz) - enables compact 4.7µH inductors and reduces output ripple without sacrificing efficiency. |
| Reference Voltage | 0.770–0.830V (typ. 0.800V) - sets output voltage via external resistor divider; enables 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V regulation. |
| Quiescent Current | 270µA (typ.) - minimizes standby power loss in battery-powered systems like portable computers and modems. |
| Shutdown Current | 8µA (typ.) - extends battery life during system sleep modes without requiring external disconnect. |
| UVLO Threshold | 1.55–2.35V (falling) - prevents unstable operation below safe input voltage; hysteresis ensures clean restart. |
| Peak Current Sense | 120mV - defines maximum inductor current; allows precise current limiting and RSENSE sizing down to 0.03Ω. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-lead TSOT-23 (S6), 1.90mm × 2.90mm footprint, 0.95mm height, JEDEC MO-193 compliant. Thermal resistance θJA = 230°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ITH/RUN (Pin 1) | Error amplifier output & run control | Sets peak current threshold; pulled low (<0.35V) disables regulator; internal 0.5µA current source charges compensation network on wake-up. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Analog and power ground reference | Common return for feedback, sense, and gate drive paths; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| VFB (Pin 3) | Feedback input to error amplifier | Compares output voltage (via resistive divider) against 0.8V reference; 10–50nA input bias enables high-resistor-divider designs. |
| SENSE– (Pin 4) | Negative current sense input | Monitors voltage drop across external sense resistor; used with VIN to determine inductor current magnitude and timing. |
| VIN (Pin 5) | Main power supply input | Supplies internal circuitry and gate driver; must be decoupled locally with ≥0.1µF ceramic capacitor to GND. |
| PGATE (Pin 6) | P-channel MOSFET gate driver output | Drives external P-MOSFET gate from 0V to VIN; 1A peak capability supports fast turn-on of low-RDS(on) devices. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Burst Mode™ operation | Enables >90% efficiency at light loads (e.g., <10mA) by gating switching cycles, reducing gate charge and core losses. |
| 100% duty cycle dropout | Maintains regulation as VIN approaches VOUT by holding PGATE high - critical for Li-ion battery discharge down to 2.5V. |
| Overvoltage protection (OVP) | Shuts off PGATE if VFB exceeds 0.820–0.895V (7.5% above VREF); 20mV hysteresis prevents chatter during transients. |
| Short-circuit foldback | Reduces oscillator frequency to ~120kHz during output shorts, limiting inductor current and diode stress. |
| Low-input-voltage support | Operates down to 2.5V VIN with full functionality; UVLO ensures reliable start-up only above 2.0V (falling). |

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; higher max output current (4.5A); requires N-MOSFET. | Designed for higher-current, synchronizable systems; lacks integrated UVLO hysteresis and Burst Mode™ optimization for ultra-low IQ. | Choose LTC1622CGN#PBF when needing >2A output or clock synchronization; not drop-in due to different topology and pinout. |
| LT1376CS8#PBF | SO-8; integrated 1.5A N-MOSFET driver; fixed 500kHz; no Burst Mode™; higher IQ (1.1mA). | Targeted at medium-power, cost-sensitive applications; less suitable for battery life-critical designs due to higher quiescent current. | Choose LT1376CS8#PBF for simpler layout with integrated FET drive; avoid where <300µA IQ or Burst Mode™ is required. |
Compared with LTC1622CGN#PBF and LT1376CS8#PBF, the LTC1772ES6#TRPBF offers superior light-load efficiency via Burst Mode™, lower quiescent current, and smaller TSOT-23 footprint - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-operated systems requiring long runtime and tight regulation.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC1772ES6#TRPBF?
The LTC1772ES6#TRPBF is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C and is fully guaranteed over this industrial temperature range. Electrical characteristics including reference voltage accuracy (±2.5%), UVLO thresholds, and oscillator frequency stability are validated across this span. The device uses the "E" grade suffix per Linear Technology's ordering nomenclature, distinguishing it from commercial (C), industrial (I), and high-temp (H) variants.
Does the LTC1772ES6#TRPBF support 100% duty cycle operation?
Yes, the LTC1772ES6#TRPBF supports true 100% duty cycle operation in dropout mode. When input voltage falls near the regulated output voltage, the controller holds PGATE high continuously, allowing the external P-channel MOSFET to conduct without switching. This maintains regulation down to VIN ≈ VOUT + VDS(on) + IOUT×RSENSE, critical for single-cell Li-ion applications discharging to 2.5V.
What is the purpose of the ITH/RUN pin on the LTC1772ES6#TRPBF?
The ITH/RUN pin on the LTC1772ES6#TRPBF serves dual functions: it acts as the error amplifier output (setting peak inductor current threshold) and as the run/shutdown control input. Pulling ITH/RUN below 0.35V disables the controller and forces PGATE high. An internal 0.5µA current source charges external compensation components upon wake-up, enabling controlled soft-start and current-limit ramp-up.
How does Burst Mode™ operation improve efficiency in the LTC1772ES6#TRPBF?
Burst Mode™ operation in the LTC1772ES6#TRPBF improves light-load efficiency by disabling switching cycles when output current demand drops below a threshold. During bursts, the ITH/RUN pin voltage falls below 0.85V, halting gate drive; it resumes when voltage rises above 0.925V. This eliminates switching losses and reduces gate charge current, achieving >90% efficiency at loads under 10mA - far exceeding standard PWM mode.
What external components are required to configure the LTC1772ES6#TRPBF for a 2.5V output?
To configure the LTC1772ES6#TRPBF for 2.5V output, use a resistor divider from VOUT to GND feeding VFB (Pin 3). With VREF = 0.800V, select R1 = 80.6kΩ and R2 = 54.9kΩ (standard 1% values), yielding VOUT = 0.8V × (1 + R1/R2) ≈ 2.5V. Also required: external P-MOSFET (e.g., Si3443DV), sense resistor (e.g., 0.03Ω), 4.7µH inductor, input capacitor (≥10µF ceramic), and output capacitor (≥47µF low-ESR).
