Product details
Overview
LTC3822EDD-1#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a synchronous step-down DC/DC controller IC that drives external N-channel MOSFETs without requiring a current-sense resistor, using VDS sensing across the top MOSFET. It operates from 2.75V to 4.5V input, delivers up to 8A output at 1.8V with ±1% reference accuracy, and supports 99% duty cycle for low-dropout operation in Li-ion-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3822EDD-1#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3822EDD-1#TRPBF pinout, LTC3822EDD-1#TRPBF application, or LTC3822EDD-1#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed light-load mode selection options (Burst Mode®/pulse skipping/forced continuous), exact package mapping to 12-pin 3mm × 3mm DFN, and two manufacturer-validated alternative controllers for 3.3V-input synchronous buck designs.
Technical Context
The LTC3822EDD-1#TRPBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control with MOSFET VDS sensing - eliminating RSENSE while maintaining precise peak-current limiting via ITH voltage feedback and programmable ΔVSENSE(MAX) (82mV/125mV/200mV) selected by IPRG pin state. Its architecture includes internal soft-start, tracking capability, and digital RUN control enabling micropower shutdown (IQ = 7.5µA).
Frequency is adjustable from 250kHz to 750kHz via PLLLPF pin or synchronizable externally over the same range; phase-locking uses an external RC filter on PLLLPF. Output overvoltage protection triggers at +13.33% of 0.6V reference (0.68V), and undervoltage lockout activates at VIN < 2.25V (rising) with hysteresis.

Pinout & Package
Package: 12-pin 3mm × 3mm thermally enhanced DFN (DD) with exposed pad (Pin 13) soldered to PCB ground for electrical integrity and thermal performance (θJA = 43°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pin 12) | Switch node connection | Connects to source of top MOSFET, drain of bottom MOSFET, and inductor; serves as negative current sense input |
| TG (Pin 9) | Top gate driver output | Drives gate of external high-side N-MOSFET with swing from GND to BOOST voltage |
| BG (Pin 8) | Bottom gate driver output | Drives gate of external low-side N-MOSFET with swing from GND to BOOST voltage |
| VIN (Pin 11) | Main power supply input | Powers control circuitry and serves as positive input to differential current comparator |
| BOOST (Pin 10) | Bootstrap supply rail | Provides gate drive voltage for TG; requires external Schottky diode and capacitor between BOOST and SW |
| ITH (Pin 5) | Error amplifier output & current threshold | Sets peak inductor current limit; nominal operating range 0.7V–2.0V |
| VFB (Pin 4) | Feedback input | Compares remote output voltage (via resistor divider) to 0.6V internal reference |
| RUN (Pin 6) | Digital enable/disable control | Logic-high (≥1.1V) enables operation; logic-low (<1.1V) shuts down IC with 7.5µA IQ |

| IPRG (Pin 7) | Peak sense threshold select | Three-state input (GND/float/VIN) selects 82/125/200mV ΔVSENSE(MAX) for MOSFET RDS(ON) optimization |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No RSENSE required | Uses VDS sensing across top MOSFET to eliminate sense resistor losses and PCB area |
| 99% maximum duty cycle | Enables operation with VIN as low as ~1.82V for 1.8V output - critical for battery end-of-life support |
| Selectable light-load modes | Burst Mode® (highest efficiency), pulse skipping (low ripple/no audio noise), or forced continuous (lowest ripple) |
| Internal 1ms soft-start + external tracking | Prevents inrush current; TRACK/SS pin allows coordinated startup with other rails or custom ramp timing |
| Output overvoltage protection | Shuts off top MOSFET and turns on bottom MOSFET if VFB exceeds 0.68V - protects downstream loads |
| Micropower shutdown | Draws only 7.5µA in shutdown - suitable for energy-sensitive portable and IoT applications |
Applications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3850EDD#TRPBF | Higher max frequency (1MHz), integrated bootstrap diode, no IPRG pin - fixed 50mV current sense threshold | Requires smaller magnetics but lacks programmable ΔVSENSE(MAX); less flexible for high-current MOSFET optimization | Preferred when board space is critical and RDS(ON) is tightly controlled; not drop-in due to different pinout and sense architecture |
| TPS54620RGYR | Fixed 600kHz frequency, integrated MOSFET drivers only (no external FET control), no VDS sensing - requires sense resistor | Lower BOM count but sacrifices efficiency at light loads and flexibility in MOSFET selection | Selected for cost-sensitive, medium-power apps where 95% peak efficiency suffices and layout simplicity outweighs fine-grained control |
Compared with LTC3822EDD-1#TRPBF, LTC3850EDD#TRPBF offers higher frequency and integration but forfeits VDS sensing and programmable current limit; TPS54620RGYR simplifies design with integrated FETs but adds conduction loss and reduces light-load efficiency by ~8% at 10mA.

FAQ
What is the function of the IPRG pin on the LTC3822EDD-1#TRPBF?
The IPRG pin on the LTC3822EDD-1#TRPBF selects the maximum allowable peak current sense voltage (ΔVSENSE(MAX)) across the top MOSFET: 82mV when tied to GND, 125mV when floating, and 200mV when tied to VIN. This setting directly determines the peak inductor current limit and enables optimization of RDS(ON) trade-offs for specific MOSFETs in the LTC3822EDD-1#TRPBF design.
Does the LTC3822EDD-1#TRPBF require an external current-sense resistor?
No, the LTC3822EDD-1#TRPBF does not require an external current-sense resistor. It uses MOSFET VDS sensing between the VIN and SW pins to measure current, eliminating sense resistor losses and PCB area. This architecture is explicitly confirmed in the device description, features list, and functional diagram of the LTC3822EDD-1#TRPBF datasheet.
What package type is used by the LTC3822EDD-1#TRPBF?
The LTC3822EDD-1#TRPBF uses a 12-pin 3mm × 3mm thermally enhanced DFN package (DD package), with Pin 13 as the exposed ground pad that must be soldered to the PCB for optimal thermal performance (θJA = 43°C/W). This is distinct from the 16-pin SSOP variant (LTC3822EGN-1) and is clearly specified in the PACKAGE/ORDER INFORMATION section for LTC3822EDD-1#TRPBF.
How does the LTC3822EDD-1#TRPBF achieve high efficiency at light loads?
The LTC3822EDD-1#TRPBF achieves high light-load efficiency through selectable operating modes: Burst Mode® (enabling deep sleep with 7.5µA quiescent current), pulse skipping (reducing switching events while maintaining low ripple), or forced continuous (for lowest noise). The mode is selected via DC voltage on the SYNC/MODE pin - a confirmed feature documented in the Applications Information and Electrical Characteristics tables for LTC3822EDD-1#TRPBF.
Can the LTC3822EDD-1#TRPBF be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, the LTC3822EDD-1#TRPBF can be synchronized to an external clock applied to the SYNC/MODE pin over a range of 250kHz to 750kHz. When synchronized, the internal oscillator phase-locks to the external signal, and an RC network must be connected from PLLLPF to GND to serve as the PLL loop filter - a capability explicitly detailed in the Frequency Selection and Phase-Locked Loop section of the LTC3822EDD-1#TRPBF datasheet.
