Product details
Overview
LTC3810IUH-5#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 60V input synchronous step-down switching regulator controller using constant on-time valley current mode control. It delivers precise 0.8V ±0.5% reference accuracy, supports up to 25MHz error amplifier bandwidth for fast transient response, and drives dual N-channel MOSFETs without requiring a current sense resistor. It is designed for telecom power supplies, automotive high-voltage DC/DC conversion, and industrial base station systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3810IUH-5#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3810IUH-5#TRPBF pinout, LTC3810IUH-5#TRPBF application, or LTC3810IUH-5#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 60V max input rating, 100ns minimum on-time capability, programmable cycle-by-cycle current limit, integrated bias control for startup and short-circuit operation, and synchronization support for noise-sensitive designs.
Technical Context
The LTC3810IUH-5#TRPBF implements a constant on-time valley current mode architecture where top MOSFET conduction duration is set by an external ION resistor and modulated via VON voltage feedback, enabling stable low-duty-cycle operation down to <100ns. Its 25MHz error amplifier directly controls the ITH node to adjust valley current threshold in real time against load and line transients.
Integrated gate drivers deliver 0.7–1A peak source current with 1Ω pull-down RDS(ON) per driver, supporting parallel MOSFET configurations. Bias generation switches automatically between EXTVCC (≥4.7V) and NDRV-regulated INTVCC, ensuring robust gate drive during startup and output short-circuit conditions.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 32-lead 5mm × 5mm QFN (UH), exposed pad (Pin 33) soldered to SGND for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VON (Pin 2) | On-time voltage input | Sets comparator trip point for one-shot timer; tied to INTVCC for high-VOUT stability or grounded for default 0.7V threshold. |
| VRNG (Pin 3) | Sense voltage limit set | Programs nominal current sense threshold from 95mV (ground) to 215mV (INTVCC); determines maximum valley current limit. |
| PGOOD (Pin 4) | Open-drain power good output | Pulled low when VFB deviates >±10% from 0.8V for ≥120µs - provides system-level fault signaling to microcontrollers or sequencers. |
| MODE/SYNC (Pin 5) | Pulse skip enable / sync input | Pull <0.8V for forced continuous mode; apply external clock for synchronized switching to avoid EMI peaks in sensitive RF bands. |
| ITH (Pin 6) | Error amp compensation / current threshold | 0–2.6V control voltage sets valley current threshold; 1.2V = zero-current point - used for soft-start ramp and current foldback. |
| VFB (Pin 7) | Feedback input | Connects to resistor divider from VOUT; internal 0.8V reference enables precise output voltage setting (e.g., 12V via 14k/1k divider). |
| SS/TRACK (Pin 9) | Soft-start / tracking input | Capacitor to ground sets output ramp rate (~0.6s/µF); resistive divider connection enables ratiometric tracking of another supply rail. |
| SHDN (Pin 12) | Shutdown control | Pull <1.5V to disable both gate drivers and reduce quiescent current to 240µA - essential for system-level power sequencing. |
| UVIN (Pin 13) | Input undervoltage lockout | Resistive divider from VIN sets UVLO threshold; internal 0.8V reference with 10% hysteresis prevents brownout oscillation. |
| NDRV (Pin 14) | External pass device drive | Drives NMOS gate for linear regulator supplying INTVCC during startup or short-circuit - enables self-biasing without external LDO. |
| EXTVCC (Pin 15) | External driver supply | When ≥4.7V, powers INTVCC via internal LDO and disables NDRV path - improves efficiency in steady-state operation. |
| INTVCC (Pin 16) | Main internal supply | Bypassed with ≥0.1µF capacitor; powers all logic and analog circuits except gate drivers - critical for noise immunity. |
| DRVCC (Pin 17) | Bottom gate driver supply | Typically tied to INTVCC; bypassed to BGRTN with 1–10µF X5R capacitor - ensures stable low-side drive under high dI/dt. |
| BG (Pin 18) | Bottom gate driver output | Swings from BGRTN to DRVCC - drives source-connected NMOS switch; separate BGRTN pin allows negative return to suppress Miller turn-on. |
| BGRTN (Pin 19) | Bottom gate return | Connects to MOSFET source or negative supply - enables gate drive below ground to prevent false turn-on during high dV/dt at SW node. |
| SENSE– (Pin 20) | Current sense negative input | Kelvin connection to bottom MOSFET source or sense resistor - eliminates PCB trace resistance error in valley current measurement. |
| SENSE+ (Pin 24) | Current sense positive input | Connected to SW node for MOSFET RDS(ON) sensing or to sense resistor high side - completes differential current comparator path. |
| SW (Pin 25) | Switch node | Connects to inductor and bootstrap capacitor - voltage swings from –0.7V (Schottky drop) to VIN; defines timing reference for TG driver. |
| TG (Pin 26) | Top gate driver output | Floating driver referenced to SW - supplies gate drive to high-side NMOS; powered by BOOST capacitor charged via external Schottky diode. |
| BOOST (Pin 27) | Top gate driver supply | Bypassed to SW with 0.1µF X5R capacitor - forms charge-pump supply enabling true floating drive for high-side MOSFET. |
| ION (Pin 31) | On-time current input | Resistor from VIN sets one-shot timer current - directly programs switching frequency independent of input voltage variation. |
| SGND (Pin 33) | Signal ground | Exposed pad; must be soldered to PCB ground plane - serves as reference for all small-signal pins and minimizes noise coupling into EA/ITH. |
