Product details
Overview
LTC3772BEDDB#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower, constant-frequency current-mode step-down DC/DC controller designed for high-efficiency battery-powered systems. It operates from 2.75V to 9.8V input, delivers output voltages as low as 0.8V with ±1.5% reference accuracy, and achieves 100% duty cycle for ultra-low dropout-enabling extended runtime in single- or dual-cell Li-ion applications such as portable computers and wireless devices.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3772BEDDB#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3772BEDDB#TRPBF pinout, LTC3772BEDDB#TRPBF application, or LTC3772BEDDB#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed package mapping to the 3mm × 2mm DFN-8 (exposed pad), real-world light-load efficiency behavior, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative controllers for similar step-down control roles.
Technical Context
The LTC3772BEDDB#TRPBF implements No RSENSE™ architecture, eliminating the external current-sense resistor by sensing voltage across the P-channel MOSFET's RDS(ON). Its current-mode control ensures fast line and load transient response, while internal soft-start ramps VFB linearly from 0.05V to 0.75V over 0.8ms to prevent inrush current.
It features automatic pulse-skipping at light loads (quiescent current = 200µA no-load, 8µA shutdown), undervoltage lockout (UVLO threshold = 2.0V rising), and foldback frequency reduction to ~200kHz during short-circuit events. The IPRG pin selects peak current sense thresholds (70mV/GND, 138mV/floating, 208mV/VIN) with slope compensation active above 20% duty cycle.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.75V to 9.8V - supports direct operation from 1–2 cell Li-ion batteries without pre-regulation. |
| Switching Frequency | 550kHz typical - enables compact 3.3µH inductor and small ceramic capacitors in space-constrained designs. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.800V ±1.5% - sets precise output regulation; allows 0.8V minimum VOUT with standard resistor divider. |
| Quiescent Current | 200µA at no load - minimizes battery drain in always-on portable systems. |
| Shutdown Current | 8µA maximum - extends shelf life and standby time in battery-backed devices. |
| UVLO Threshold | 2.0V (rising), 1.85V (falling) - prevents erratic operation near battery depletion while ensuring clean restart. |
| Peak Gate Drive Current | 1A peak - reliably drives high-capacitance P-channel MOSFETs with fast 40ns rise/fall times. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead (3mm × 2mm) plastic DFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 9 = GND). Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB ground plane for thermal performance and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IPRG | Current limit selection input | Three-state logic: GND = 70mV, floating = 138mV, VIN = 208mV peak sense voltage - configures max inductor current without external components. |
| ITH/RUN | Error amplifier output & enable control | Drives compensation network; <0.6V forces shutdown; internal 1µA pull-up enables soft-start ramp on release. |
| VFB | Feedback input | Compares output divider voltage to 0.8V reference; ±1.5% accuracy ensures tight output regulation across temperature. |
| GND | Power and signal ground | Reference for all analog circuitry; must be low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane. |
| SW | Switch node | Connects to MOSFET drain and inductor; carries high di/dt switching waveform - requires tight layout to minimize EMI. |
| VIN | Main supply and current sense input | Provides bias power and senses MOSFET source voltage; must be decoupled with low-ESR capacitor close to pin. |
| PGATE | P-channel MOSFET gate driver | Swings 0V to VIN; delivers 1A peak current with 40ns edges to drive gate capacitance efficiently. |
| NC | No connection | Unbonded pin - leave unconnected; no routing or copper required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external current-sense resistor | Eliminates 5–15mΩ sense resistor losses and board area; improves full-load efficiency by up to 3% in 1A applications. |
| 100% duty cycle operation | Enables dropout mode where VOUT ≈ VIN − ILOAD×RDS(ON), extending usable battery range down to ~2.2V. |
| Low ripple pulse-skipping mode | Maintains 550kHz switching under light loads instead of variable-frequency burst mode - reduces audible noise and EMI. |
| Internal soft-start | Ramps VFB from 0.05V to 0.75V in 0.8ms - controls inductor current slew rate and prevents output overshoot during startup. |
| Overvoltage protection | Trips at VFB > 0.88V (10% above 0.8V) with 40mV hysteresis - disables PGATE to protect downstream circuitry during fault conditions. |
Applications
| Portable Computers | Wireless Communication Modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX17504ATP+T | Requires external current-sense resistor; 200kHz–2.2MHz programmable frequency; higher 1.5mA quiescent current. | Better suited for high-current (>3A), wide-input (4.5–60V) industrial supplies; lacks No RSENSE™ efficiency advantage in battery apps. | Select when input voltage exceeds 9.8V or when adjustable frequency is required for EMI tuning - not drop-in for LTC3772BEDDB#TRPBF layouts. |
| TPS562210ADDFR | Integrated 30V/2A N-channel MOSFET; 500kHz fixed frequency; 100µA quiescent current but no 100% duty cycle. | Optimized for cost-sensitive, medium-efficiency 12V-input consumer electronics; cannot regulate down to battery end-of-discharge. | Choose for simplified BOM in non-battery applications where 2.75V–9.8V input range and ultra-low dropout are not required. |
Compared with MAX17504ATP+T and TPS562210ADDFR, the LTC3772BEDDB#TRPBF uniquely combines No RSENSE™ architecture, 100% duty cycle, and sub-200µA quiescent current - making it irreplaceable in space- and energy-constrained Li-ion systems where every µA and mV matters.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LTC3772BEDDB#TRPBF?
The LTC3772BEDDB#TRPBF does not define a fixed maximum output current - it depends on the selected external P-channel MOSFET, inductor, and thermal design. With a typical 20mΩ RDS(ON) MOSFET and proper layout, the LTC3772BEDDB#TRPBF supports ≥2A continuous output in 5V-to-2.5V conversion. Peak current is set via IPRG pin (70–208mV sense threshold), and actual IOUT(MAX) = (∆VSENSE(MAX)/RDS(ON)) – IRIPPLE/2 per datasheet Equation 5.
Does the LTC3772BEDDB#TRPBF require an external current-sense resistor?
No, the LTC3772BEDDB#TRPBF uses No RSENSE™ architecture to sense current through the voltage drop across the external P-channel MOSFET's RDS(ON). This eliminates the need for a discrete sense resistor, reducing power loss, board area, and component count - a key differentiator versus conventional current-mode controllers like the MAX17504.
What is the purpose of the exposed pad on the LTC3772BEDDB#TRPBF DFN package?
The exposed pad (Pin 9) on the LTC3772BEDDB#TRPBF is electrically connected to GND and must be soldered to a PCB thermal pad for both electrical integrity and thermal performance. Per datasheet Absolute Maximum Ratings, failure to solder the pad results in degraded θJA (76°C/W specified only when pad is properly connected), risking thermal shutdown or reduced reliability at >1A loads.
How does the LTC3772BEDDB#TRPBF handle short-circuit conditions?
During output short-circuit, the LTC3772BEDDB#TRPBF reduces oscillator frequency from 550kHz to ~200kHz (foldback mode) while maintaining minimum on-time. This lowers peak inductor current and allows safe discharge, preventing thermal runaway. Once the short is removed, frequency ramps back to 550kHz as VFB rises past 0.3V - a self-recovering protection mechanism confirmed in Figure 15 of the official datasheet.
Can the LTC3772BEDDB#TRPBF operate with a single-cell Li-ion battery?
Yes - the LTC3772BEDDB#TRPBF supports input voltages from 2.75V to 9.8V, fully covering the 2.7V–4.2V range of a single-cell Li-ion battery. Its 100% duty cycle capability ensures regulation down to ~2.2V input (accounting for RDS(ON) drop), and UVLO (2.0V rising) prevents operation below safe battery voltage - making it ideal for single-cell portable applications.
