Product details
Overview
LTC2927IDDB#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a single-channel power supply tracking and sequencing controller IC designed for precise ramp-up/ramp-down coordination between master and slave DC/DC supplies. It delivers adjustable ramp rates (e.g., 100 V/s), ±5% current-mirror tracking accuracy, 0.8 V TRACK pin reference, and open-drain SDO shutdown output - enabling FPGA, microprocessor, and multi-rail point-of-load systems to meet strict voltage sequencing requirements during power-on and power-off.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2927IDDB#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC2927IDDB#TRMPBF pinout, LTC2927IDDB#TRMPBF application, or LTC2927IDDB#TRMPBF equivalent, this page provides verified functional context, validated pin-level circuit roles, confirmed tracking performance metrics, and real-world sequencing design constraints - all specific to the 8-lead DFN (3 mm × 2 mm) industrial-grade variant.
Technical Context
The LTC2927IDDB#TRMPBF implements an open-loop current-mirror tracking cell that servos the TRACK pin at 0.8 V and mirrors ITRACK to FB, enabling precise voltage ratio control without affecting slave supply stability or transient response. Its RAMP pin accepts either internal 10 µA pull-up/pull-down current (for capacitor-generated ramps) or external master signals.
RAMPBUF provides a low-impedance buffered version of RAMP (±2 mA drive capability) to drive resistive dividers connected to TRACK; ON pin controls ramp direction via 1.23 V threshold with 75 mV hysteresis; SDO asserts low until VCC > 2.5 V and ON > 1.23 V, coordinating slave supply enable timing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage (VCC) | 2.9 V to 5.5 V - defines minimum operating headroom for reliable internal biasing and SDO assertion. |
| TRACK Pin Reference | 0.800 V (±30 mV) - sets servo point for current-mirror tracking; determines slave output voltage scaling via RTA/RTB resistor network. |
| RAMP Current Source/Sink | ±10 µA - sets master ramp rate when driving external CRAMP; enables 100 V/s ramp with 0.1 µF capacitor. |
| ON Pin Threshold | 1.230 V (±20 mV) with 75 mV hysteresis - controls ramp direction transition; supports resistive divider monitoring of input supply readiness. |
| FB Pin Clamp Voltage | 1.5 V to 2.3 V - prevents overdrive of slave DC/DC feedback node; ensures safe operation even under fault conditions. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments; matches LTC2927I grade specification. |
| Package | 8-lead (3 mm × 2 mm) plastic DFN - compact footprint optimized for point-of-load placement near sensitive FB nodes. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead (3 mm × 2 mm) plastic DFN (DDB), exposed pad (Pin 9) optional GND connection. Thermal resistance θJA = 76°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC (Pin 1) | Supply Input | Power rail for internal circuitry; requires 0.1 µF bypass to GND; UVLO activates SDO below 2.5 V. |
| SDO (Pin 2) | Open-Drain Shutdown Output | Drives slave RUN/SS low until VCC > 2.5 V and ON > 1.23 V; sinks ≥1 mA for compatible DC/DC enable inputs. |
| FB (Pin 3) | Feedback Control Output | Mirrors TRACK current to slave DC/DC feedback node; clamped at 2.3 V max to prevent overregulation. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Ground Reference | Primary signal and power return; exposed pad (Pin 9) may be tied to PCB GND for improved thermal performance. |
| TRACK (Pin 5) | Tracking Control Input | Servos at 0.8 V; sources up to 1 mA at VCC = 2.9 V; drives RAMPBUF-to-TRACK divider to set slave output profile. |
| RAMPBUF (Pin 6) | Ramp Buffer Output | Low-impedance replica of RAMP; drives RTA/RTB network; capable of ±2 mA output for robust divider drive. |
| RAMP (Pin 7) | Ramp Signal Input | Accepts internal ±10 µA current or external master ramp; grounded when unused to disable internal ramp generation. |
| ON (Pin 8) | Direction Control Input | 1.23 V threshold selects ramp-up (pull-up) or ramp-down (pull-down); supports supply-monitoring via resistive divider. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Open-loop tracking architecture | Eliminates pass element losses and preserves slave supply transient response and loop stability. |
| Adjustable ramp rate control | Set via external capacitor on RAMP pin (e.g., 0.1 µF → 100 V/s) or driven by external master supply. |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the LTC2927IDDB#TRMPBF in a power system?
The LTC2927IDDB#TRMPBF is a precision analog tracking controller that coordinates voltage ramp-up and ramp-down sequences between master and slave DC/DC supplies. It uses an open-loop current mirror to force the slave supply's output to follow a defined profile - such as coincident, offset, ratiometric, or delayed - without inserting series loss elements or degrading the slave supply's transient response. This makes LTC2927IDDB#TRMPBF ideal for FPGA, ASIC, and microprocessor applications with strict inter-rail voltage margin requirements.
How does the LTC2927IDDB#TRMPBF achieve tracking without affecting slave supply stability?
The LTC2927IDDB#TRMPBF achieves tracking via open-loop current mirroring: it sources/sinks current at the TRACK pin (servoing at 0.8 V) and mirrors that current to the FB pin, thereby adjusting the slave DC/DC's feedback node. Because no series pass element is inserted and no closed-loop error amplifier interacts with the slave's control loop, the LTC2927IDDB#TRMPBF introduces no phase shift or gain perturbation. Verified in application circuits, this preserves the original DC/DC converter's bandwidth, phase margin, and load-step response - a key advantage over op-amp-based tracking solutions.
Can the LTC2927IDDB#TRMPBF support both ramp-up and ramp-down tracking?
Yes, the LTC2927IDDB#TRMPBF supports bidirectional tracking through its ON pin: when ON rises above 1.23 V, a 10 µA pull-up current charges the external RAMP capacitor, generating an upward ramp; when ON falls below ~1.225 V (1.23 V minus 75 mV hysteresis), a 10 µA pull-down current discharges the same capacitor, producing a symmetric downward ramp. This allows matched slew rates for both power-on and power-off transitions - critical for hot-swap and graceful shutdown in telecom and server applications using LTC2927IDDB#TRMPBF.
What is the role of the SDO pin on the LTC2927IDDB#TRMPBF?
The SDO pin on the LTC2927IDDB#TRMPBF is an open-drain output used to coordinate slave supply enable timing. It remains low until both VCC exceeds 2.5 V (UVLO release) and the ON pin exceeds 1.23 V, ensuring the slave DC/DC only starts regulating after the tracking controller is fully powered and armed. SDO pulls low again when both ON < 1.23 V and RAMP < 200 mV, supporting controlled shutdown. This eliminates need for external power-good logic and simplifies sequencing in multi-rail systems built around LTC2927IDDB#TRMPBF.
Is the LTC2927IDDB#TRMPBF compatible with DC/DC converters having different feedback reference voltages?
Yes, the LTC2927IDDB#TRMPBF supports DC/DC converters with varying FB reference voltages (e.g., 0.6 V, 0.8 V, 1.235 V) through its resistor-based TRACK network. The relationship VOUT = VTRACK × (1 + RFA/RFB) × (RTB/RTA) allows full scaling independence. For example, a 1.235 V FB converter and a 0.8 V FB converter can both be tracked from the same LTC2927IDDB#TRMPBF RAMPBUF output by selecting appropriate RTA/RTB ratios - confirmed in Figures 9–16 of the official datasheet for LTC2927IDDB#TRMPBF.
