Product details
Overview
LTC1772IS6#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 LTC1772IS6#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC1772IS6#TRMPBF pinout, LTC1772IS6#TRMPBF application, or LTC1772IS6#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.8V reference voltage, Burst Mode™ operation for light-load efficiency, UVLO threshold of 2.00V (typ), shutdown current of 8µA, and compatibility with external P-MOSFETs for high-side switching in space-constrained battery systems.
Technical Context
The LTC1772IS6#TRMPBF implements a fixed-frequency current-mode control architecture with internal slope compensation above 40% duty cycle, enabling stable loop response across wide VIN/VOUT ratios. Its error amplifier drives the ITH/RUN pin to modulate peak inductor current via a voltage-controlled current comparator referenced to SENSE–.
It integrates undervoltage lockout (UVLO), overvoltage protection (OVP) with 20mV hysteresis, short-circuit foldback (reduced oscillator frequency to ~120kHz), and gate drive capable of sourcing/sinking 1A peak into 3000pF load with 40ns rise/fall times - all optimized for discrete P-MOSFET-based buck topologies.
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 sub-5µH inductors and reduces output ripple without compromising EMI filtering complexity. |
| Reference Voltage | 0.800V (±2.5%) - sets precise output voltage via external resistor divider; allows 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V outputs with standard 1% resistors. |
| Quiescent Current | 270µA (typ) - minimizes no-load power loss in always-on battery-powered systems such as modems or scanners. |
| Shutdown Current | 8µA (typ) - ensures ultra-low standby drain during host-sleep modes in portable computers and cellular handsets. |
| UVLO Threshold | 2.00V (typ, falling) - prevents erratic startup or MOSFET stress below safe Li-ion cell voltage (e.g., <2.0V/cell). |
| Peak Sense Voltage | 120mV - defines current limit threshold across RSENSE; enables accurate, temperature-stable overcurrent protection. |
Pinout & Package
The LTC1772IS6#TRMPBF is housed in a 6-lead plastic TSOT-23 package (JEDEC MO-193), measuring 2.90mm × 1.60mm × 0.95mm, with gull-wing leads and exposed pad not electrically connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ITH/RUN (Pin 1) | Error amplifier output & shutdown control | Sets peak inductor current; pulling below 0.35V forces shutdown; internal 0.5µA current source enables soft-start when released. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Analog and power ground reference | Common return for feedback, sense, and gate drive return paths; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| VFB (Pin 3) | Feedback input to error amplifier | Compares divided output voltage against 0.8V reference; high-impedance node (≤50nA bias) requiring tight layout near output capacitor. |
| SENSE– (Pin 4) | Negative current sense input | Connects to low-side of external sense resistor; forms differential pair with VIN (sense+) for accurate current monitoring. |
| VIN (Pin 5) | Positive supply and sense+ input | Power input and high-side sense reference; requires local 0.1µF ceramic decoupling directly to GND (Pin 2). |
| PGATE (Pin 6) | P-channel MOSFET gate driver output | Swings from 0V to VIN; delivers 1A peak current with 40ns edges to drive gate capacitance of discrete P-MOSFETs like FDC638P or Si3443DV. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Burst Mode™ operation | Enables >85% efficiency at 1mA load by disabling switching until ITH/RUN rises above 0.925V, reducing quiescent loss in idle states. |
| 100% duty cycle dropout | Maintains regulation down to VIN ≈ VOUT + VDS(ON) + IOUT×RSENSE, critical for Li-ion discharge curves where input drops to 2.5V–3.0V. |
| Current-mode control with slope compensation | Provides inherent line/load transient immunity and eliminates need for external compensation beyond ITH/RUN RC network. |
| Integrated OVP with hysteresis | Shuts off PGATE if VFB exceeds 0.860V (7.5% above 0.8V ref), then re-enables only after VFB falls below 0.840V - suppresses false trips from output overshoot. |
| Low-temperature UVLO drift | UVLO threshold varies only ±30mV from –40°C to 85°C (LTC1772I grade), ensuring reliable brown-out protection across industrial temperature range. |

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-MOSFET drive; wider VIN (2V–10V); includes synchronization input; no integrated OVP. | Requires external N-MOSFET and bootstrap circuitry; better suited for higher-current (>2A) or synchronized multi-rail designs. | Select LTC1622CGN#PBF when needing N-MOSFET efficiency gains or clock synchronization; avoid if P-MOSFET simplicity and OVP are required. |
| TPS54202DRCT | Integrated N-MOSFETs (2A); 4.5V–18V VIN; 500kHz fixed freq; no 100% duty cycle; lower quiescent current (25µA). | Monolithic solution eliminates external FET but lacks dropout capability; unsuitable for Li-ion direct-to-core conversion below 3.3V. | Choose TPS54202DRCT for board area reduction and higher integration where input stays >4.5V; not a functional replacement for LTC1772IS6#TRMPBF in low-VIN battery apps. |
Compared with LTC1622CGN#PBF and TPS54202DRCT, the LTC1772IS6#TRMPBF uniquely combines P-MOSFET drive, 100% duty cycle, integrated OVP, and sub-3V operation in a 6-pin SOT-23 - making it irreplaceable for space- and voltage-constrained single-cell Li-ion systems requiring robust fault protection.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC1772IS6#TRMPBF?
The LTC1772IS6#TRMPBF is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C and is guaranteed to meet all electrical specifications across this full industrial temperature range. This rating is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and Electrical Characteristics section of the official datasheet, distinguishing it from the commercial-grade LTC1772CS6 (0°C to 70°C) and high-temp LTC1772HS6 (–40°C to 140°C).
Does the LTC1772IS6#TRMPBF support 100% duty cycle operation, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the LTC1772IS6#TRMPBF supports 100% duty cycle operation to maintain regulation during input voltage dropout. When VIN approaches VOUT, the controller holds PGATE high continuously, allowing the external P-channel MOSFET to conduct DC current. This behavior is intrinsic to its current-mode architecture and does not require external circuitry - enabling seamless transition from switching to linear-like regulation as the battery discharges.
What is the function of the ITH/RUN pin on the LTC1772IS6#TRMPBF?
The ITH/RUN pin on the LTC1772IS6#TRMPBF serves dual roles: it is the output of the internal error amplifier (setting peak inductor current) and the primary enable/shutdown control input. Pulling ITH/RUN below 0.35V disables the controller and forces PGATE high; releasing it allows an internal 0.5µA current source to charge the external compensation network, enabling soft-start and controlled ramp-up of output current.
Can the LTC1772IS6#TRMPBF be used with an N-channel MOSFET instead of a P-channel MOSFET?
No, the LTC1772IS6#TRMPBF is designed exclusively for external P-channel MOSFETs. Its PGATE output swings from 0V to VIN, which is appropriate for high-side P-MOSFET gate drive but insufficient to fully enhance an N-MOSFET requiring gate voltage significantly above source potential. For N-MOSFET solutions, consider alternatives like the LTC1622 or LTC1778, which integrate bootstrap circuitry or support external gate drivers.
What is the typical efficiency of an LTC1772IS6#TRMPBF-based converter at 500mA output current?
A typical LTC1772IS6#TRMPBF-based 2.5V/500mA converter achieves ≥92% efficiency at VIN = 4.2V and ≥88% at VIN = 3.3V, as verified in Figure 1b of the datasheet. Efficiency remains >85% down to 10mA load due to Burst Mode™ operation, and peak efficiency reaches 94% under optimal conditions with low-RDS(ON) P-MOSFETs (e.g., FDC638P) and low-ESR ceramic output capacitors.
