Product details
Overview
LTC3772ETS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower, constant-frequency current-mode step-down DC/DC controller in an 8-lead TSOT-23 package. It operates from 2.75V to 9.8V input, delivers output as low as 0.8V with ±1.5% reference accuracy, and achieves 550kHz switching without external current-sense resistors-enabling high-efficiency power conversion in space-constrained Li-ion–powered portable systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3772ETS8#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3772ETS8#TRPBF pinout, LTC3772ETS8#TRPBF application, or LTC3772ETS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its No RSENSE™ architecture, 40µA no-load quiescent current, 100% duty-cycle dropout operation, ITH/RUN-controlled soft-start and shutdown, and IPRG-selectable peak current thresholds (105mV/175mV/245mV) for P-channel MOSFET gate drive.
Technical Context
The LTC3772ETS8#TRPBF implements current-mode control using internal slope compensation and a 550kHz oscillator, enabling stable regulation across wide VIN/VOUT ratios. Its error amplifier output (ITH/RUN) directly sets peak inductor current while serving as run/shutdown control and soft-start ramp target.
Burst Mode® operation engages below ~10% load, clamping ITH/RUN at 0.925V and reducing quiescent current to 40µA; undervoltage lockout disables all circuitry below 2.0V (rising), and short-circuit protection folds oscillator frequency to 200kHz while maintaining minimum on-time.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.75V to 9.8V - supports single/dual Li-ion battery stacks and intermediate bus rails without external LDO pre-regulation. |
| Switching Frequency | 550kHz (typ) - enables use of compact 2.2µH–4.7µH inductors and low-ESR ceramic output capacitors. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.800V ±1.5% - sets output voltage via resistor divider; line/load regulation ≤0.2mV/V and ≤0.2% ensures stability across operating conditions. |
| No-Load Quiescent Current | 40µA - minimizes battery drain in standby, extending runtime in always-on wireless sensors and portable computing. |
| Shutdown Current | 8µA - allows deep sleep mode activation via ITH/RUN pin <0.6V, critical for energy-harvesting and ultra-low-power IoT nodes. |
| Peak Current Sense Threshold | 105mV / 175mV / 245mV (IPRG = GND / float / VIN) - configures maximum inductor current without sense resistor, matching RDS(ON) of external P-MOSFET. |
| Soft-Start Time | 0.6ms - linear VFB ramp prevents inrush current and output overshoot during cold start in FPGA or microprocessor core rails. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead TSOT-23 (0.65mm pitch, 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.0mm height), RoHS-compliant, exposed pad not present (DDB variant has exposed pad; TS8 does not).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IPRG | Current limit select input | Three-state logic pin (GND/float/VIN) setting peak sense voltage threshold for P-MOSFET overcurrent protection. |
| ITH/RUN | Error amp output & enable control | Drives external compensation network; <0.6V forces shutdown; >0.7V enables regulation; internal 1µA pull-up enables soft-start. |
| VFB | Feedback input | Monitors resistor-divider output voltage; compared to 0.8V reference to regulate VOUT; input bias current ±10nA minimizes divider error. |
| GND | Analog and power ground | Common return for feedback, error amp, and internal regulators; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| NC | No connection | Pin 8 is unconnected internally; must remain floating-no PCB trace or solder mask opening required. |
| SW | Switch node | Connects to P-MOSFET drain and inductor; carries high di/dt switching waveform; requires tight layout to reduce EMI and gate drive ringing. |
| VIN | Power supply & current sense input | Supplies internal circuitry and provides current sense path (VIN–SW) for P-MOSFET RDS(ON)-based sensing; requires local 10µF ceramic bypass. |
| PGATE | P-channel MOSFET gate driver | Push-pull output swinging 0V to VIN; drives gate capacitance up to 3000pF with 40ns rise/fall times; designed for sublogic-level P-MOSFETs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No RSENSE™ architecture | Eliminates external current-sense resistor, reducing BOM count, board area, and conduction losses-critical for thermally constrained handheld devices. |
| Low-ripple Burst Mode® | Maintains <10mVpp output ripple at light loads by clamping ITH/RUN and disabling switching cycles-not just skipping pulses-preserving transient response. |
| 100% duty-cycle dropout | Extends usable battery life by sustaining regulation down to VOUT + VDS(ON) of P-MOSFET, avoiding premature system brownout during battery discharge. |
| Internal soft-start ramp | 0.6ms linear ramp from 0V to 0.8V on VFB pin prevents output overshoot and limits inrush into bulk capacitance during power-up. |
| Overvoltage protection | Trips at VFB > 0.88V (10% above reference) with 40mV hysteresis, holding PGATE high to disconnect P-MOSFET-protects downstream ICs during load dump or feedback fault. |

FAQ
What is the absolute maximum input voltage rating for the LTC3772ETS8#TRPBF?
The LTC3772ETS8#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 10V. Exceeding this value-even momentarily-may cause permanent damage. The recommended operating range is 2.75V to 9.8V, and the undervoltage lockout (UVLO) activates below 2.0V (rising threshold). Always include input transient suppression if the source can exceed 10V.
How does the IPRG pin configure peak current limit on the LTC3772ETS8#TRPBF?
The IPRG pin on the LTC3772ETS8#TRPBF selects the maximum peak current sense voltage threshold: tying to GND sets 105mV, leaving floating sets 175mV, and connecting to VIN sets 245mV. This directly determines the maximum inductor current via IPEAK = ΔVSENSE(MAX)/RDS(ON) of the external P-MOSFET-enabling precise current limiting without a sense resistor.
Can the LTC3772ETS8#TRPBF operate in 100% duty cycle dropout mode, and how is it enabled?
Yes, the LTC3772ETS8#TRPBF automatically enters 100% duty cycle dropout when VIN approaches VOUT, turning the external P-MOSFET fully on to maintain regulation. No external circuitry is needed-this behavior is inherent to its architecture and occurs seamlessly as input voltage declines, maximizing usable battery capacity before system shutdown.
What is the purpose of the ITH/RUN pin on the LTC3772ETS8#TRPBF, and how is it used for soft-start?
The ITH/RUN pin on the LTC3772ETS8#TRPBF serves three roles: error amplifier output, run/shutdown control, and soft-start ramp node. During startup, an internal 1µA current charges the external compensation capacitor, causing ITH/RUN to rise linearly-ramping VFB from 0V to 0.8V over ~0.6ms and smoothly increasing VOUT without overshoot.
Does the LTC3772ETS8#TRPBF require an external compensation network, and what type is recommended?
Yes, the LTC3772ETS8#TRPBF requires an external Type II compensation network connected to the ITH/RUN pin. A standard configuration uses a series RC (e.g., 100kΩ + 1nF) from ITH/RUN to VFB, with optional feed-forward capacitor (CFF) across the upper feedback resistor. This stabilizes the current-mode loop and sets phase margin for load transients across the full operating range.
