Product details
Overview
LTC3775IUD#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-efficiency, voltage-mode synchronous step-down DC/DC controller driving all-N-channel MOSFETs from 4.5V to 38V input. It delivers precise 0.6V reference accuracy (±0.75%), supports 250kHz–1MHz programmable switching frequency, achieves <30ns minimum on-time for high step-down ratios, and features RDS(ON) or sense-resistor current sensing. It is used in telecom power supplies requiring fast transient response and tight output regulation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3775IUD#PBF datasheet, LTC3775IUD#PBF pinout, LTC3775IUD#PBF application, or LTC3775IUD#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its wide VIN range, line feedforward compensation for fast line transients, cycle-by-cycle peak current limiting, thermally enhanced 3mm × 3mm QFN-16 package with exposed PGND pad, and automotive-grade temperature rating (–40°C to 125°C).
Technical Context
The LTC3775IUD#PBF implements leading-edge modulation voltage mode control with a patented line feedforward circuit that maintains constant modulator gain across input voltage variations, enabling stable loop behavior and fast line transient response. Its error amplifier provides 25MHz gain-bandwidth and ±0.75% reference accuracy over temperature, supporting Type 3 compensation networks for robust phase margin at LC resonance.
It integrates dual high-current gate drivers (TG/BG) with 1.5Ω/1.0Ω pull-down and 2.5Ω/2.5Ω pull-up on-resistances, enabling direct drive of low-Qg N-channel MOSFETs. Cycle-by-cycle current limiting is configurable via ILIMT (100μA sink) and ILIMB (10μA source) pins, supporting both RDS(ON) and discrete sense resistor topologies with independent threshold programming.

| SGND (Pin 7) | Signal ground reference | Kelvin return for FB, SS, COMP, MODE/SYNC - must be isolated from PGND to avoid noise coupling |
| BG (Pin 8) | Bottom gate driver output | Swings PGND to INTVCC - drives gate of synchronous rectifier MOSFET |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous step-down controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP2918GL-Z | Current-mode control, fixed 600kHz fSW, no line feedforward, 4.5V–32V VIN | Lacks line feedforward and programmable frequency - less optimal for wide-VIN telecom apps with fast line transients | Prefer when cost-sensitive designs accept reduced line regulation and fixed frequency constraints |
| TPS53679RSBT | Voltage-mode control, 4.5V–16V VIN, integrated MOSFET drivers only (no external FET support) | Lower VIN max and integrated FETs limit use to sub-12V applications - not suitable for 24V/28V industrial inputs | Choose only for compact 5V/3.3V POL where integrated solution saves board space and thermal design is simplified |
Compared with MP2918GL-Z and TPS53679RSBT, the LTC3775IUD#PBF uniquely combines wide 4.5V–38V input range, programmable 250kHz–1MHz frequency, line feedforward compensation, and external N-FET support - making it the only option among the three qualified for high-ratio, high-input-voltage, automotive-temp applications requiring precise transient performance.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the LTC3775IUD#PBF?
The LTC3775IUD#PBF supports an absolute maximum input voltage of 40V on the VIN pin, with recommended operating range from 4.5V to 38V. This wide range enables direct use with 24V and 28V industrial buses and 48V telecom systems with appropriate derating. Operation above 38V risks exceeding specified electrical characteristics and thermal limits, even if within absolute maximum ratings.
How does the LTC3775IUD#PBF achieve fast line transient response?
The LTC3775IUD#PBF achieves fast line transient response primarily through its patented line feedforward compensation circuit, which dynamically adjusts the PWM modulator gain to maintain constant loop gain across input voltage variations. Combined with a high-bandwidth 25MHz error amplifier and low 30ns minimum on-time, this architecture reduces line-induced output deviation to <1% under 10V/μs input steps - verified in typical application circuits at 500kHz switching frequency.
Can the LTC3775IUD#PBF operate with only RDS(ON) current sensing, or is a sense resistor required?
The LTC3775IUD#PBF supports both RDS(ON) current sensing (via SENSE pin connected to SW node) and discrete sense resistor sensing (via SENSE pin connected to resistor drain). RDS(ON) sensing maximizes efficiency by eliminating sense resistor losses, while the sense resistor option provides higher current limit accuracy - especially useful in high-precision overcurrent protection applications. No external components are required for basic RDS(ON) operation.
What is the purpose of the exposed pad (Pin 17) on the LTC3775IUD#PBF QFN package?
The exposed pad (Pin 17) on the LTC3775IUD#PBF QFN package is electrically connected to PGND and serves two critical functions: (1) it provides the primary thermal path to the PCB, reducing θJA from >100°C/W to 68°C/W when properly soldered; and (2) it acts as the low-impedance return path for the BG gate driver and high-current VIN/INTVCC bypass capacitors. Failure to solder this pad results in severe thermal derating and potential functional instability.
Does the LTC3775IUD#PBF support synchronization to an external clock, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the LTC3775IUD#PBF supports external clock synchronization via the MODE/SYNC pin (Pin 15). When an external logic-level clock signal (CMOS/TTL compatible) is applied to this pin, the internal oscillator locks to the external frequency within ±20% of its free-running value. The pin also serves dual function: DC voltage <1.2V forces continuous conduction mode, while >1.2V enables pulse-skipping - allowing single-pin configuration of both sync and operating mode.
