Product details
Overview
LTC1772IS6#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, Burst Mode® operation for light-load efficiency, and supports input voltages from 2.5V to 9.8V - ideal for lithium-ion-powered portable systems requiring regulated 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V rails.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1772IS6#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1772IS6#TRPBF pinout, LTC1772IS6#TRPBF application, or LTC1772IS6#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 6-pin SOT-23 footprint, 0.8V internal reference enabling low-output-voltage designs, 100% duty-cycle dropout operation, UVLO threshold of 2.00V (typ), and 8µA shutdown current - all critical for battery life and compact power architecture validation.
Technical Context
The LTC1772IS6#TRPBF implements a current-mode control architecture with a 0.8V precision reference, slope-compensated PWM, and integrated undervoltage lockout (UVLO) that disables operation below 2.00V (typ). Its ITH/RUN pin serves dual roles: error amplifier compensation node and run/shutdown control, with 0.35V threshold for entering shutdown.
It features overvoltage protection (OVP) triggered at 7.5% above VREF (0.820–0.895V), short-circuit foldback via oscillator frequency reduction to ~120kHz, and gate drive capable of sourcing/sinking 1A peak into 3000pF load with 40ns rise/fall times - enabling robust external P-MOSFET switching across wide VIN and load transients.
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 systems. |
| Reference Voltage | 0.800V (±2.5%); sets output via external resistor divider - allows precise 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V regulation. |
| Quiescent Current | 270µA (typ); minimizes no-load power draw in always-on subsystems. |
| Shutdown Current | 8µA (typ); extends battery runtime during system sleep or standby modes. |
| UVLO Threshold | 2.00V (typ, falling); prevents unstable regulation and MOSFET stress during brownout conditions. |
| Peak Sense Voltage | 120mV; defines current limit threshold across RSENSE - enables accurate output current setting. |
Pinout & Package
The LTC1772IS6#TRPBF is housed in a 6-lead plastic TSOT-23 package (JEDEC MO-193), measuring 2.90mm × 1.60mm × 0.95mm, with exposed pad not electrically connected. Pin 1 is marked by a dot or bevelled edge.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ITH/RUN (Pin 1) | Error amplifier output & run control input | Controls peak inductor current; <0.35V forces shutdown; internal 0.5µA current source charges external compensation network on wake-up. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power and signal ground reference | Must be low-impedance connection point for CIN, RSENSE, and feedback resistors to minimize noise coupling. |
| VFB (Pin 3) | Feedback input to error amplifier | Monitors output via resistive divider; regulated to 0.800V - determines final VOUT = 0.8 × (1 + R1/R2). |
| SENSE– (Pin 4) | Negative current sense input | Connects to low-side of RSENSE; senses voltage drop across sense resistor to regulate peak inductor current. |
| VIN (Pin 5) | Main power supply input | Supplies internal circuitry and PGATE driver; must be decoupled with ≥10µF ceramic capacitor close to pin. |
| PGATE (Pin 6) | P-channel MOSFET gate driver output | Swings from 0V to VIN; drives external P-MOSFET gate with 1A peak current and 40ns edge rates. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant-frequency current-mode control | Ensures predictable EMI profile and stable loop response across line/load variations - no subharmonic oscillation up to 50% duty cycle without slope compensation. |
| Burst Mode® operation | Reduces quiescent current to ~230µA in sleep mode and maintains >85% efficiency at 1mA load - critical for long-idle portable devices. |
| 100% duty-cycle dropout | Enables seamless transition to linear regulation when VIN ≈ VOUT - preserves output regulation down to (VIN – VOUT) < 100mV with minimal dropout loss. |
| Integrated overvoltage protection (OVP) | Shuts off PGATE when VFB exceeds 0.820V (7.5% above 0.8V ref); 20mV hysteresis prevents chatter during transient recovery. |
| Low-threshold UVLO | Disables regulator at 2.00V (typ) to prevent erratic switching and MOSFET shoot-through during battery depletion - protects downstream loads. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down DC/DC 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 IOUT (4.5A); requires external N-MOSFET. | Designed for higher-current, synchronizable multi-rail systems; lacks integrated P-MOSFET drive - needs gate driver or N-MOS layout. | Select when needing >2A output, synchronization, or N-MOSFET efficiency advantages; not pin-compatible. |
| LTC1702EGN#PBF | 16-lead SSOP; dual-phase 550kHz controller; supports up to 15A total; includes phase interleaving and current sharing. | Targeted at high-power CPU/GPU VRMs; requires two inductors, two MOSFET sets, and complex layout - over-specified for single-rail 2A use. | Choose only for multi-phase, high-current applications; incompatible footprint and control scheme. |
Compared with LTC1772IS6#TRPBF, LTC1622CGN#PBF offers greater current capability and clock synchronization but demands N-MOSFET design and larger layout area, while LTC1702EGN#PBF provides dual-phase scalability at the cost of complexity and component count - neither matches the LTC1772IS6#TRPBF's combination of ultra-small SOT-23 size, P-MOSFET simplicity, and optimized low-IQ portable operation.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC1772IS6#TRPBF?
The LTC1772IS6#TRPBF is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C and is guaranteed to meet all electrical specifications across this industrial temperature range. This rating is confirmed in the "PACKAGE/ORDER INFORMATION" table of the datasheet, where "LTC1772IS6" is explicitly listed with "–40°C to 85°C" under Operating Temperature Range.
Does the LTC1772IS6#TRPBF integrate a power switch, or does it require an external MOSFET?
The LTC1772IS6#TRPBF is a controller-only IC and requires an external P-channel MOSFET - it does not integrate any power switch. Its PGATE pin drives the gate of an external P-MOSFET (e.g., Fairchild FDC638P or Si3443DV), while SENSE– monitors current via an external sense resistor. This architecture enables optimization of efficiency, voltage rating, and thermal performance per application.
What is the purpose of the ITH/RUN pin on the LTC1772IS6#TRPBF?
The ITH/RUN pin (Pin 1) on the LTC1772IS6#TRPBF serves two critical functions: it acts as the output node of the internal error amplifier for loop compensation, and as 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 external compensation network, enabling soft-start and controlled turn-on of the LTC1772IS6#TRPBF.
Can the LTC1772IS6#TRPBF operate with an input voltage below 2.5V?
The absolute minimum recommended input voltage for continuous operation of the LTC1772IS6#TRPBF is 2.5V, as stated in the "Electrical Characteristics" table. Although the device may function down to ~2.0V, the datasheet notes reduced output current capability below 3V and specifies UVLO turn-off at 2.00V (typ), meaning sustained operation below 2.5V is not guaranteed and risks instability or premature shutdown.
How does Burst Mode® operation improve efficiency in the LTC1772IS6#TRPBF?
Burst Mode® operation in the LTC1772IS6#TRPBF reduces switching activity at light loads by gating the oscillator - the controller enters sleep mode when ITH/RUN falls below 0.85V and resumes normal 550kHz operation when it rises above 0.925V. This cuts dynamic gate drive losses and quiescent current to ~230µA, sustaining >85% efficiency at 1mA output - significantly extending battery life in standby or intermittent-use applications.
