Product details
Overview
LTC3605IUF#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator delivering up to 5A output current with programmable switching frequency from 800kHz to 4MHz. It features integrated 70mΩ top and 35mΩ bottom N-channel MOSFETs, 0.6V ±1% reference accuracy, and PolyPhase® operation support for up to 12-phase interleaving-used in high-density point-of-load power supplies for FPGA, ASIC, and DSP core rails.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3605IUF#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3605IUF#TRPBF pinout, LTC3605IUF#TRPBF application, or LTC3605IUF#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its constant-frequency current-mode architecture, phase-lockable oscillator, internal INTVCC LDO, TRACK/SS-enabled output tracking, and thermal performance in the 4mm × 4mm QFN package with exposed PGND pad.
Technical Context
The LTC3605IUF#TRPBF implements a controlled-on-time, constant-frequency current-mode control architecture with dual internal PLLs: one synchronizing the oscillator to an external CLKIN (±30% range), and another servoing the on-time to maintain frequency lock. Its valley-current sensing uses the bottom MOSFET's RDS(ON) as a current sense element, eliminating external sense resistors.
It supports three operational modes via the MODE pin (continuous, discontinuous, or forced CCM), enables output voltage tracking and soft-start via the TRACK/SS pin with 2µA internal pull-up, and provides overvoltage/undervoltage protection with PGOOD monitoring of FB within ±10% of 0.6V. The VON pin allows VOUT-proportional on-time adjustment to stabilize frequency across output voltage changes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 4V to 15V - supports dual Li-ion battery inputs and 5V/12V intermediate bus systems. |
| Output Current | 5A continuous - sufficient for powering high-performance digital loads like FPGA I/O or CPU cores. |
| Switching Frequency | 800kHz–4MHz (RT-programmable) - enables use of sub-1µH inductors and compact ceramic capacitors. |
| Reference Voltage | 0.6V ±1% (–40°C to 125°C) - ensures tight output regulation across industrial temperature range. |
| Efficiency | Up to 96% at 1MHz - minimizes thermal load and improves power density in space-constrained designs. |
| MOSFET RDS(ON) | 70mΩ (top), 35mΩ (bottom) - reduces conduction losses and eliminates need for external power switches. |
| PolyPhase Support | Up to 12 phases - enables current sharing across multiple LTC3605IUF#TRPBF units with precise phase alignment via CLKIN/CLKOUT. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 24-pin (4mm × 4mm) plastic QFN with exposed PGND pad (Pin 25), rated for –40°C to 125°C operation. Exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RT (1) | Oscillator frequency programming input | Resistor-to-ground sets switching frequency; determines minimum off-time and duty cycle limits. |
| PHMODE (2) | Phase selector control | Sets CLKOUT phase offset vs CLKIN: INTVCC = 180° (2-phase), SGND = 120° (3-phase), INTVCC/2 = 90° (4-phase). |
| MODE (3) | Operation mode select | INTVCC = forced CCM; SGND = DCM at light load; prevents reverse inductor current and improves light-load efficiency. |
| FB (4) | Feedback voltage input | Compares divider output to 0.6V reference; error amplifier output (ITH) adjusts valley current threshold. |
| TRACK/SS (5) | Tracking & soft-start control | 0–0.6V overrides reference for tracking; capacitor here provides controlled VOUT ramp-up and inrush limiting. |
| ITH (6) | Error amplifier output / compensation node | Directly controls current comparator trip point; tied to INTVCC for simplified internal compensation. |
| RUN (7) | Enable/disable control | >1.2V enables full operation; <1.1V forces shutdown (<15µA IQ); hysteresis prevents chatter near threshold. |
| PGOOD (8) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Pulled low when FB exits 0.54V–0.66V window; includes ~52-cycle blanking to suppress transient glitches. |
| VON (9) | On-time voltage input | Adjusts on-time proportionally to VOUT; maintains constant frequency across output voltage changes when tied to VOUT. |
| PGND (10, 25) | Power ground return | Common return for internal MOSFETs and SW node; exposed pad (25) is mandatory for thermal performance. |
| SW (11–16) | Switch node connection | Drives external inductor; swings from ~–0.3V to PVIN; multiple pins reduce parasitic inductance and improve current sharing. |
| PVIN (17, 18) | Main power input | Supplies top/bottom MOSFETs; dual pins reduce IR drop and enhance thermal dissipation. |
| SVIN (19) | Filtered signal input for INTVCC LDO | Connected to PVIN via RC filter (1–10Ω + 0.1µF) to reject noise and stabilize internal 3.3V regulator. |
| BOOST (20) | Bootstrap supply for top MOSFET gate driver | Swings up to PVIN + INTVCC; requires external bootstrap capacitor between BOOST and SW. |
| INTVCC (21) | Internal 3.3V LDO output | Powers gate drivers and control logic; must be bypassed with ≥1µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to GND. |
| SGND (22) | Signal ground reference | Separate from PGND to minimize noise coupling into sensitive analog circuitry (FB, ITH, TRACK/SS). |
| CLKOUT (23) | PolyPhase clock output | Drives CLKIN of next stage; phase relationship determined by PHMODE; amplitude = INTVCC to GND. |
| CLKIN (24) | External synchronization input | Accepts external clock (800kHz–4MHz); internal PLL locks oscillator and on-time to rising edge. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC3605IUF#TRPBF?
The LTC3605IUF#TRPBF is specified for operation from –40°C to +125°C junction temperature and is guaranteed over this full range. Its "I" grade designation confirms industrial temperature qualification, making it suitable for demanding embedded and telecom applications where ambient temperatures exceed commercial limits. Derating curves and thermal resistance (θJA = 37°C/W) are provided in the datasheet to support board-level thermal design.
How does the LTC3605IUF#TRPBF achieve output voltage tracking?
The LTC3605IUF#TRPBF achieves output voltage tracking using the TRACK/SS pin (Pin 5). When an external voltage between 0V and 0.6V is applied to this pin, the error amplifier servo-controls the FB pin to match that voltage-effectively regulating VOUT proportionally to the external reference. An internal 2µA pull-up current enables soft-start when a capacitor is connected, providing controlled ramp-up and preventing input inrush. This function is active only during startup until TRACK/SS exceeds 0.6V.
Can the LTC3605IUF#TRPBF operate in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM)?
Yes, the LTC3605IUF#TRPBF can operate in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) at light loads when the MODE pin (Pin 3) is tied to SGND. In DCM, the bottom MOSFET turns off when inductor current reaches zero, reducing switching losses and improving light-load efficiency. Tying MODE to INTVCC forces continuous conduction mode (CCM) regardless of load-ensuring constant frequency and predictable ripple but with higher light-load losses.
What is the purpose of the VON pin on the LTC3605IUF#TRPBF?
The VON pin (Pin 9) on the LTC3605IUF#TRPBF sets the on-time comparator threshold and enables VOUT-proportional on-time adjustment. When tied to the output voltage, it makes the on-time linearly proportional to VOUT, stabilizing switching frequency across different output voltages. If VON is below 0.6V or above 6V, frequency regulation is lost. This feature is essential for maintaining consistent performance in multi-output systems where VOUT varies.
Does the LTC3605IUF#TRPBF require external compensation components?
The LTC3605IUF#TRPBF supports both internal and external ITH compensation. Tying the ITH pin (Pin 6) to INTVCC activates internal compensation (30kΩ + 40pF), simplifying design at the expense of loop optimization. For best transient response and minimal output capacitance, external compensation is recommended-using discrete RC networks connected to ITH to tailor the error amplifier's transconductance and pole/zero placement per application requirements.
