Product details
Overview
LTC1875EGN#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 1.5A monolithic synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator with constant-frequency current-mode control, 15µA quiescent current in Burst Mode, 550kHz nominal switching frequency, and 2.65V–6V input range-designed for Li-Ion-powered portable computers and wireless modems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1875EGN#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1875EGN#TRPBF pinout, LTC1875EGN#TRPBF application, or LTC1875EGN#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±2% output voltage accuracy, true PLL-based external synchronization (350–750kHz), power good monitoring, low dropout operation (100% duty cycle), and integrated P/N-channel MOSFETs eliminating external diode requirements.
Technical Context
The LTC1875EGN#TRPBF implements a current-mode, constant-frequency buck architecture with internal synchronous rectification, enabling high efficiency up to 95% and fast transient response. Its dual-switch topology integrates a 0.35Ω P-channel high-side FET and 0.4Ω N-channel low-side FET, both rated for 2A DC current and 3A peak switching current.
It features true PLL-based frequency locking for jitter-free synchronization across 350–750kHz, independent of load or input conditions. The device supports three operating modes-Burst Mode (15µA IQ), pulse-skipping PWM (365µA IQ), and shutdown (<1µA)-with mode selection via the SYNC/MODE pin and soft-start control via RUN/SS.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.65V to 6V - supports single-cell Li-Ion battery operation across full discharge curve. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.8V to VIN - adjustable via external resistor divider; 0.8V reference enables low-voltage core rails. |
| Max Output Current | 1.5A continuous - limited by thermal design and RDS(ON) of internal FETs at ambient temperature. |
| Quiescent Current | 15µA in Burst Mode - extends battery runtime in standby or light-load portable applications. |
| Switching Frequency | 550kHz nominal, 350–750kHz externally synchronized - enables compact 2.2µH–6.8µH inductor selection. |
| Output Accuracy | ±2% over –40°C to 85°C - ensures stable regulation for precision analog or digital supply domains. |
| Power Good Threshold | ±7.5% window around VFB - provides reliable system-level power sequencing and fault detection. |
Pinout & Package
The LTC1875EGN#TRPBF is housed in a 16-lead plastic SSOP (GN) package with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin assignments are validated per Linear Technology's official datasheet revision 1875f.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SGND (1) | Signal Ground Reference | Low-noise return path for feedback, error amplifier, and control logic; must be separated from PGND in layout. |
| RUN/SS (2) | Soft-Start & Enable Control | Pull >2.5V to enable; <0.7V to shut down (<1µA IQ); RC ramp enables controlled output voltage rise. |
| VFB (3) | Feedback Input | Monitors output via resistor divider; regulates to 0.8V reference; ±7.5% window triggers PGOOD. |
| ITH (4) | Error Amplifier Output | Current-source output controlling peak inductor current; 0.5–1.8V range sets load-current response. |
| SWP1/SWP2 (5,12) | High-Side Switch Drain Nodes | Internally connected drains of P-channel MOSFETs; require low-inductance tie-together and direct connection to inductor. |
| SWN1/SWN2 (6,11) | Low-Side Switch Drain Nodes | Internally connected drains of N-channel MOSFETs; must be tied together and routed to inductor node. |
| PGND1/PGND2 (7,10) | Power Ground Returns | High-current return paths for internal drivers and switches; must be joined with minimal trace inductance. |
| PVIN1/PVIN2 (8,9) | Power Supply Inputs | Supply pins for internal gate drivers; connect directly to input capacitor with low-ESR path. |
| PLL_LPF (16) | Phase Detector Filter Node | External RC filter sets PLL loop dynamics; open when unsynchronized; critical for stable frequency lock. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous Rectification | Integrated 0.35Ω P-FET + 0.4Ω N-FET eliminates Schottky diode, increasing efficiency by 5–10% at medium loads. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3605EDE#TRPBF | Higher 3A output, 3MHz switching, but 50µA IQ in skip mode; requires external compensation. | Targets higher-power applications where size is constrained and efficiency at >500mA is critical. | Select when >1.5A output or >1MHz operation is required; not drop-in due to different pinout and compensation scheme. |
| TPS62130ARGTR | 1.5A, 3MHz, 17µA IQ, but no PLL sync; uses DCS-Control™ instead of current-mode architecture. | Preferred for space-constrained designs needing smaller inductors, but lacks precise frequency synchronization. | Choose for cost-sensitive, high-volume portable designs where external clock sync is unnecessary. |
Compared with LTC3605EDE#TRPBF and TPS62130ARGTR, the LTC1875EGN#TRPBF uniquely balances ultra-low quiescent current (15µA), true PLL synchronization, and integrated current-mode control-making it optimal for noise-sensitive, battery-critical applications where timing predictability and standby efficiency are jointly essential.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LTC1875EGN#TRPBF under typical operating conditions?
The LTC1875EGN#TRPBF delivers up to 1.5A continuous output current when thermally managed within its 125°C junction limit. This rating assumes 2.65V–6V input, 3.3V output, 6.8µH inductor, and proper PCB copper area per the GN package θJA = 110°C/W specification. At lower input voltages (e.g., 2.65V), max output current reduces to ~1.2A due to increased RDS(ON) and conduction losses. Derating is required above 70°C ambient.
Does the LTC1875EGN#TRPBF support external frequency synchronization, and what is the valid range?
Yes, the LTC1875EGN#TRPBF supports true PLL-based external synchronization via the SYNC/MODE pin across 350kHz to 750kHz. Unlike simple clock injection, its digital phase/frequency detector achieves zero-degree phase offset and stable lock-even under load or input variation. Synchronization is disabled below 0.6V VFB (e.g., during short-circuit foldback) to preserve fault protection integrity.
How does Burst Mode operation affect output voltage ripple and efficiency in the LTC1875EGN#TRPBF?
In Burst Mode, the LTC1875EGN#TRPBF pulses the power stage intermittently to maintain regulation, reducing IQ to 15µA but increasing low-frequency output ripple (typically 10–30mVPP). Efficiency peaks at light loads (e.g., 85% at 1mA), outperforming PWM skip mode. Ripple can be minimized with larger output capacitance or by switching to pulse-skipping mode (via SYNC/MODE = GND) when tighter ripple specs apply.
What is the role of the PLL_LPF pin on the LTC1875EGN#TRPBF, and how should it be configured?
The PLL_LPF pin on the LTC1875EGN#TRPBF is the phase detector output node that drives the voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO). When synchronizing externally, a series RC network (e.g., 10kΩ + 2200pF) must be connected from PLL_LPF to SGND to filter phase error current and stabilize lock. If unused, PLL_LPF may be left floating-no pull-up/down required-as the internal VCO defaults to 550kHz operation.
Can the LTC1875EGN#TRPBF operate in 100% duty cycle, and what design considerations apply?
Yes, the LTC1875EGN#TRPBF supports 100% duty cycle for low-dropout operation when VIN approaches VOUT. In this mode, output voltage equals VIN minus IOUT × RDS(ON)(P-FET) and inductor DCR. Thermal design is critical: at 2.65V input and 1.5A load, power dissipation exceeds 500mW-requiring adequate copper area and airflow. Efficiency drops sharply below 3V input, so use only for brief dropout periods.
