Product details
Overview
LTC1775CGN#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a synchronous step-down switching regulator controller that drives external dual N-channel MOSFETs without a current-sense resistor, using VDS sensing. It operates from 4V to 36V input, delivers 1.19V–VIN output, features ±1% 1.19V reference, 150kHz nominal oscillator, and supports forced continuous or Burst Mode operation - ideal for high-efficiency notebook CPU core supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1775CGN#PBF datasheet, LTC1775CGN#PBF pinout, LTC1775CGN#PBF application, or LTC1775CGN#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its no-RSENSE current sensing architecture, 300mV max sense threshold, 16-pin narrow SSOP package, temperature-rated 0°C to 70°C operation, and compatibility with logic-level N-MOSFETs in high-current DC/DC converters.
Technical Context
The LTC1775CGN#PBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control using MOSFET VDS sensing to eliminate external sense resistors and reduce conduction losses. Its error amplifier adjusts ITH voltage (0–2.4V range) to regulate peak inductor current proportional to load demand, referenced to a stable 1.19V internal bandgap.
It integrates dual gate drivers (TG/BG) capable of 2A peak current, a 5.2V INTVCC LDO, programmable soft-start via RUN/SS pin, foldback current limiting, output overvoltage protection at 1.28V, and synchronization capability across 100–225kHz via the SYNC pin - enabling precise timing coordination in multi-rail systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 36V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive battery-fed systems without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Range | 1.19V to VIN - enables low-voltage CPU/GPU core rails and flexible point-of-load designs. |
| Reference Accuracy | ±1% at 1.19V - ensures tight output regulation under line/load/temperature variation. |
| Max Current Sense Threshold | 300mV - allows high-current operation with low RDS(ON) MOSFETs while minimizing power loss. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 135–165kHz (nominal 150kHz), syncable 1.5:1 range - balances efficiency vs. size; avoids EMI-sensitive bands. |
| Shutdown Quiescent Current | <30µA - extends battery life in portable equipment during standby. |

Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead narrow plastic SSOP (GN), 5.3mm × 6.2mm body, 0.65mm pitch, exposed pad not present.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EXTVCC (1) | INTVCC switch input | Enables high-efficiency external supply (≥4.7V) to power internal circuitry, bypassing VIN-based LDO. |
| SYNC (2) | Oscillator synchronization input | Accepts external clock (100–225kHz); >1.2V forces 225kHz, open/ground sets 150kHz, enables injection lock. |
| RUN/SS (3) | Enable & soft-start control | Pull <0.8V for shutdown; capacitor to ground sets ramp time (~1s/µF) for controlled startup sequencing. |
| FCB (4) | Forced continuous mode select | Tie to GND to disable Burst Mode; tie to INTVCC to enable it - critical for secondary winding regulation. |
| ITH (5) | Error amplifier compensation node | 0–2.4V control voltage sets peak inductor current threshold; used for loop compensation and current limiting. |
| SGND (6) | Signal ground reference | Return path for feedback network (VOSENSE, VPROG); must connect to COUT negative terminal. |
| VOSENSE (7) | Output voltage feedback input | High-impedance input for remote sensing or resistive divider; enables precision regulation independent of PCB drop. |
| VPROG (8) | Output voltage selection | Logic-level input: open → adjustable via VOSENSE divider; 0V → 3.3V; INTVCC → 5V - simplifies multi-rail designs. |
| VIN (16) | Main input supply | Primary power source for internal LDO and bootstrap charging; requires RC filter (1Ω + 0.1µF) above 3A. |
| TK (15) | Top MOSFET Kelvin sense | Separate trace to top MOSFET drain improves VDS sensing accuracy by eliminating PCB trace resistance error. |
| SW (14) | Switch node | Connects to inductor and bottom MOSFET source; swings from ~–0.3V to VIN - defines bootstrap capacitor return path. |
| TG (13) | Top gate driver output | Drives top N-MOSFET gate with swing = INTVCC superimposed on SW node - requires bootstrap capacitor CB. |
| BOOST (12) | Bootstrap capacitor positive terminal | Connects to (+) of CB; swings from Schottky drop below INTVCC to VIN + INTVCC - enables high-side N-MOS drive. |
| INTVCC (11) | Internal 5.2V regulator output | Powers gate drivers and control logic; decouple with ≥4.7µF low-ESR capacitor to PGND. |
| BG (10) | Bottom gate driver output | Drives bottom N-MOSFET gate between PGND and INTVCC - synchronous rectification reduces conduction loss. |
| PGND (9) | Power ground | Return for bottom MOSFET source, CVCC, and CIN - must be low-inductance connection to minimize noise and dropout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No RSENSE current sensing | Uses MOSFET VDS detection to eliminate sense resistor losses, improving full-load efficiency by up to 2% in 10A applications. |
| Dual N-channel MOSFET drive | Integrated TG/BG drivers support logic-level N-MOSFETs (e.g., SUD50N03-10), enabling higher efficiency than P-channel alternatives. |
| Programmable output voltage | VPROG pin selects fixed 3.3V/5V outputs or enables adjustable configuration - reduces BOM count in multi-voltage systems. |
| Burst Mode™ operation | Reduces quiescent current to <30µA at light loads while maintaining regulation - extends runtime in battery-powered devices. |
| Output overvoltage protection | OV comparator triggers at 1.28V (typ.) to disable top MOSFET and activate bottom MOSFET - prevents damage to downstream ICs. |
| Forced continuous mode control | FCB pin disables Burst Mode to maintain minimum switching frequency - essential for cross-regulation in multi-output flyback designs. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC1775CGN#PBF?
The LTC1775CGN#PBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 36V on the VIN pin. Operation is specified from 4V to 36V, with reliable start-up guaranteed down to 4.3V at elevated temperatures. Exceeding 36V risks permanent damage to internal circuitry, including the INTVCC LDO and gate drivers.
Does the LTC1775CGN#PBF require an external current-sense resistor?
No, the LTC1775CGN#PBF does not require an external current-sense resistor. It implements no-RSENSE current sensing by monitoring the VDS voltage of the top N-channel MOSFET via the TK and SW pins, converting it into a proportional current signal for the current-mode control loop.
How is the output voltage programmed on the LTC1775CGN#PBF?
The LTC1775CGN#PBF supports three output configurations: leaving VPROG open enables adjustable output via an external resistor divider on VOSENSE; pulling VPROG to GND selects 3.3V (±2.4%); pulling VPROG to INTVCC selects 5.0V (±2%). The internal reference remains 1.19V ±1% in all modes.
What is the purpose of the FCB pin on the LTC1775CGN#PBF?
The FCB (Forced Continuous Mode) pin on the LTC1775CGN#PBF controls Burst Mode operation. When pulled below 1.19V (e.g., to GND), it forces continuous switching - essential for maintaining regulation on secondary windings in multi-output converters. When tied to INTVCC, Burst Mode is enabled for improved light-load efficiency.
Can the LTC1775CGN#PBF synchronize to an external clock?
Yes, the LTC1775CGN#PBF can synchronize its internal 150kHz oscillator to an external clock applied to the SYNC pin. It locks over a 1.5:1 frequency range (e.g., 100–150kHz or 150–225kHz), with rising-edge alignment. The SYNC pin threshold is 0.9–1.2V, and clock pulses must be 1–4µs wide for reliable locking.
