Product details
Overview
LTC1929IG-PG#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 2-phase, synchronous step-down switching regulator controller driving external N-channel MOSFETs in fixed-frequency current-mode architecture. It delivers up to 40A output at 1.6V with ±1% voltage accuracy, true remote differential sensing, and phase-lockable operation from 150kHz to 300kHz. It is used in high-current DC/DC conversion for desktop computers and network servers.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1929IG-PG#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1929IG-PG#TRPBF pinout, LTC1929IG-PG#TRPBF application, or LTC1929IG-PG#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 28-lead SSOP package, PGOOD output monitoring, OPTI-LOOP compensation for wide ESR capacitor support, and dual-channel current-mode control enabling precise current sharing between phases.
Technical Context
The LTC1929IG-PG#TRPBF implements a constant-frequency, current-mode control loop with two independent PWM channels operating 180° out of phase. Its internal differential amplifier provides true remote sensing across both output terminals, and the RUN/SS pin integrates soft-start ramping, short-circuit timeout, and latched shutdown.
Phase synchronization is achieved via PLLIN input and PLLFLTR voltage-controlled oscillator tuning (140–310 kHz range), while OPTI-LOOP compensation allows stable operation with ceramic or high-ESR output capacitors. The device includes internal foldback current limiting, overvoltage soft-latch, and 99% maximum duty cycle for ultra-low dropout operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1% - ensures tight regulation under load transients and temperature variation. |
| Operating Frequency Range | 150kHz to 300kHz - enables optimized efficiency vs. size tradeoff; phase-locked to external clock via PLLIN. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 36V - supports wide industrial and computing supply rails including 5V, 12V, and 24V systems. |
| Duty Cycle Max | 99% - allows operation in near-dropout conditions (e.g., VIN = 5.2V → VOUT = 5V). |
| PGOOD Threshold | ±7.5% of set output voltage - open-drain output asserts low when regulated output deviates beyond tolerance. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 75mV typical - sets peak inductor current; enables accurate current sharing between two phases. |
| Remote Sensing | Differential amplifier with 1V/V gain and 55dB CMRR - rejects PCB trace IR drops for high-current applications. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-lead plastic SSOP (G package), RoHS-compliant, thermal resistance θJA = 95°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RUN/SS (Pin 1) | Soft-start & fault detection input | Charges external capacitor to control startup ramp; triggers latched shutdown if output fails to reach 70% nominal within timeout. |
| SENSE1+/SENSE2+ (Pins 2,14) | Positive current sense inputs | Connect to high-side of external RSENSE; used with SENSE– to set per-phase current limit threshold. |
| SENSE1–/SENSE2– (Pins 3,13) | Negative current sense inputs | Return path for current sense resistors; referenced to SGND for accurate differential measurement. |
| EAIN (Pin 4) | Error amplifier input | Receives feedback from VDIFFOUT; compared to 0.8V internal reference to regulate output voltage. |
| PLLFLTR (Pin 5) | PLL filter/control voltage | Sets oscillator frequency (140–310 kHz) via DC voltage; also serves as phase detector output when synchronized. |
| PLLIN (Pin 6) | External sync input | Accepts external clock signal; forces rising edge of TG1 to align with PLLIN rising edge for multi-controller coherence. |
| ITH (Pin 8) | Error amplifier output | Compensation node and current command input; controls both channel peak currents simultaneously. |
| VDIFFOUT (Pin 10) | Differential amplifier output | Provides remote-sensed output voltage referenced to SGND; drives external resistor divider for EAIN feedback. |
| VOS+/VOS– (Pins 11,12) | Op amp inputs | Configurable as unity-gain diff amp (AMPMD = GND) or uncommitted op amp (AMPMD = INTVCC); default mode on LTC1929IG-PG#TRPBF. |
| PGOOD (Pin 15) | Power-good monitor output | Open-drain output pulled low when EAIN deviates >±7.5% from 0.8V; requires external pull-up. |
| TG1/TG2 (Pins 16,27) | Top gate drivers | Floating high-side N-MOS drivers; swing = INTVCC above SW node; require external bootstrap capacitors. |
| SW1/SW2 (Pins 17,26) | Switch node connections | Connect to inductor and external Schottky diode; voltage swings from ground to VIN. |
| BOOST1/BOOST2 (Pins 18,25) | Bootstrap supplies | Charge path for top gate drivers; connected via capacitor to SW pins and Schottky diode to INTVCC. |
| BG1/BG2 (Pins 19,23) | Bottom gate drivers | Ground-referenced N-MOS drivers; swing = 0V to INTVCC; drive synchronous rectifiers. |
| PGND (Pin 20) | Power ground | Common return for bottom MOSFET sources and CIN negative terminals; must be separated from SGND. |
| INTVCC (Pin 21) | Internal 5V LDO output | Supplies gate drivers and internal circuitry; bypassed with 1µF ceramic + ≥4.7µF tantalum. |
| EXTVCC (Pin 22) | External supply input | Bypasses internal LDO when >4.7V applied; improves efficiency by reducing driver power loss. |
| VIN (Pin 24) | Main input supply | Primary power source (4–36V); decoupled directly to SGND with low-ESR capacitor. |
| SGND (Pin 9) | Signal ground | Reference for error amplifier, comparators, and logic; routed separately from PGND to avoid noise coupling. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 2-phase synchronous buck controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3833EG#TRPBF | Single-phase controller with integrated gate drivers; no PGOOD; 4–36V input; 0.6–5V output. | Not suitable for >25A loads or interleaved ripple reduction; lacks remote sensing and phase-lock capability. | Select only for space-constrained single-phase designs where 2-phase benefits are unnecessary. |

FAQ
What is the function of the AMPMD pin on the LTC1929IG-PG#TRPBF?
The AMPMD pin configures the internal operational amplifier: when grounded (default on LTC1929IG-PG#TRPBF), it connects precision resistors to form a unity-gain differential amplifier for remote sensing; when tied to INTVCC, it bypasses those resistors to expose raw op amp inputs. This pin is not present on the LTC1929IG-PG#TRPBF - it is reserved for the non-PG variant - so its state is fixed internally to enable differential amplifier mode.
Does the LTC1929IG-PG#TRPBF support synchronization with external clock sources?
Yes, the LTC1929IG-PG#TRPBF supports full phase synchronization via the PLLIN pin (Pin 6), which accepts an external clock signal to align the rising edge of TG1 with the PLLIN rising edge. The PLLFLTR pin (Pin 5) also allows DC voltage-based frequency tuning from 140kHz to 310kHz, enabling precise coordination across multiple LTC1929IG-PG#TRPBF controllers in PolyPhase™ configurations.
How does the PGOOD output on the LTC1929IG-PG#TRPBF behave during startup and fault conditions?
The PGOOD output on the LTC1929IG-PG#TRPBF is an open-drain signal that remains high-impedance until the regulated output reaches ±7.5% of its nominal value, then pulls low within 10µs if the condition is violated. During soft-start, PGOOD stays inactive until the RUN/SS capacitor charges sufficiently and regulation is established; it does not assert high until stable operation is confirmed.
What is the maximum duty cycle supported by the LTC1929IG-PG#TRPBF, and how does it affect dropout operation?
The LTC1929IG-PG#TRPBF supports up to 99% duty cycle, enabling ultra-low dropout operation - for example, delivering 5V output from a 5.2V input. In dropout, the controller disables the top MOSFET for ~400ns every 10th cycle to recharge the bootstrap capacitor, maintaining gate drive integrity without requiring external circuitry.
Can the LTC1929IG-PG#TRPBF operate with ceramic output capacitors, and what compensation is required?
Yes, the LTC1929IG-PG#TRPBF can operate with ceramic output capacitors thanks to its OPTI-LOOP compensation architecture, which adapts loop stability across a wide range of ESR values (1mΩ–100mΩ) and capacitance (10µF–10,000µF). No external compensation components are needed - stability is maintained inherently through the ITH node's transconductance amplifier design.
