Product details
Overview
LTC3822EDD#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a no-RSENSE™ synchronous step-down DC/DC controller driving external N-channel MOSFETs for high-efficiency power conversion in low-input-voltage systems. It operates from 2.75V to 4.5V input, delivers up to 8A output at 1.8V with 550kHz switching, and achieves 99% duty cycle for ultra-low dropout operation - ideal for Li-ion battery-powered embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3822EDD#PBF datasheet, LTC3822EDD#PBF pinout, LTC3822EDD#PBF application, or LTC3822EDD#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its VIN range (2.75–4.5V), ±1% 0.6V reference, selectable 300/550/750kHz frequency, ITH-controlled current limit, and digital RUN pin for precise enable/disable sequencing in space-constrained, thermally sensitive designs.
Technical Context
The LTC3822EDD#PBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control using MOSFET VDS sensing instead of external sense resistors, eliminating associated power loss and PCB area. Its architecture includes slope compensation above 20% duty cycle, anti-shoot-through gate drive logic, and internal soft-start with 650μs VFB ramp time.
It features dual N-channel gate drivers (TG/BG) with 40–50ns rise/fall times, BOOST pin supporting bootstrapped or auxiliary 5V gate drive, and integrated overvoltage protection triggered at 13.33% above 0.6V reference. The IPRG pin selects peak sense thresholds (82/120/200mV), directly determining maximum inductor current via RDS(ON) of the top MOSFET.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 2.75V to 4.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V) and 3.3V rail systems without pre-regulation. |
| Reference Voltage | 0.6V ±1% - enables accurate output voltage setting (e.g., 1.8V with 59k/118k divider) across temperature. |
| Max Duty Cycle | 99% - ensures regulation down to VOUT ≈ 0.99 × VIN, critical for low-dropout operation near battery end-of-life. |
| Switching Frequency | Selectable 300/550/750kHz - balances efficiency (lower f) vs. component size (higher f); 550kHz nominal when FREQ pin floats. |
| Peak Sense Threshold | 82/120/200mV (via IPRG) - sets maximum ΔVSENSE = VIN–VSW, defining current limit without sense resistor. |
| Shutdown Quiescent Current | 7.5μA - minimizes battery drain during system sleep modes. |
| Operating Temp Range | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and portable equipment environments. |
Pinout & Package
The LTC3822EDD#PBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 10-lead (3mm × 3mm) plastic DFN package with exposed GND pad requiring soldering to PCB for thermal and electrical integrity (θJA = 43°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BG (Pin 1) | Bottom gate driver output | Drives gate of synchronous N-MOSFET; swing = GND to BOOST - enables efficient low-side switching with minimal dead-time loss. |
| TG (Pin 2) | Top gate driver output | Drives gate of high-side N-MOSFET; swing = GND to BOOST - requires bootstrap capacitor (CB) for high-side drive above VIN. |
| BOOST (Pin 3) | Gate driver supply | Provides floating supply for TG; connected to CB between BOOST and SW - enables >VIN gate drive for full N-MOSFET enhancement. |
| VIN (Pin 4) | Main supply & current sense + | Powers control circuitry and serves as positive input to differential current comparator - must not be locally decoupled to preserve current sensing accuracy. |
| SW (Pin 5) | Switch node | Connects to source of top MOSFET, drain of bottom MOSFET, and inductor - serves as current sense – input and reverse-current detection point. |
| FREQ (Pin 6) | Frequency select | GND = 300kHz, float = 550kHz, VIN = 750kHz - allows optimization of inductor/capacitor size vs. efficiency trade-off. |
| IPRG (Pin 7) | Peak sense threshold select | VIN = 200mV, GND = 82mV, float = 120mV - configures current limit based on top MOSFET RDS(ON) without external components. |
| VFB (Pin 8) | Feedback input | Monitors output voltage via resistor divider; compared to 0.6V reference - enables precise regulation and OVP at 0.68V (13.33% overref). |
| ITH (Pin 9) | Error amp output & current threshold | Sets peak inductor current threshold (0.7–2V range); determines loop bandwidth and transient response - used for compensation and current limiting. |
| RUN (Pin 10) | Enable control | <1.1V = shutdown (7.5μA IQ), ≥1.1V = active - supports sequencing, power-good signaling, and controlled start-up with internal soft-start. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external current sense resistor | Uses VDS sensing across top MOSFET (VIN–SW) - eliminates 0.5–2W sense resistor losses and associated board area in high-current designs. |
| All-N-channel MOSFET support | Integrated dual gate drivers with anti-shoot-through logic - enables higher efficiency than P-channel high-side solutions, especially below 3V input. |
| Digital RUN pin with soft-start | Enables precise power sequencing and limits inrush current; 650μs internal VFB ramp prevents output overshoot during start-up. |
| Output overvoltage protection | Hardware-comparator trips at 0.68V on VFB - shuts off TG and turns on BG to clamp VOUT during transients or feedback fault, protecting downstream ICs. |
| Selectable peak current threshold | IPRG pin configures 82/120/200mV sense window - allows optimization of current limit for different RDS(ON) MOSFETs without changing feedback network. |

Equivalent & Alternatives

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP2315DJ-LF-Z | Integrated MOSFETs (3A), fixed 500kHz, no IPRG or BOOST pin - lacks external MOSFET flexibility and adjustable current limit. | Best for ≤3A, cost-sensitive designs where board space > efficiency; unsuitable for >5A or custom MOSFET optimization. | Select LTC3822EDD#PBF when external N-MOSFETs, >5A output, or programmable current limit are required. |
| LTC3850EGN#PBF | Wider VIN (4–36V), dual-phase, no VDS sensing - uses external sense resistor, higher minimum input voltage. | Targeted at 12V/24V industrial rails, not low-VIN battery systems; adds complexity for single-phase 3.3V use. | Choose LTC3822EDD#PBF for sub-4.5V inputs and no-resistor sensing; LTC3850 for higher-VIN, multi-phase, or higher-current scalability. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage supported by the LTC3822EDD#PBF?
The LTC3822EDD#PBF supports a minimum input voltage of 2.75V, verified across the full –40°C to +85°C operating range. Below this level, undervoltage lockout (UVLO) disables the controller to prevent unstable operation. The rising UVLO threshold is 2.45V, and falling threshold is 2.15V, ensuring hysteresis for noise immunity. This makes the LTC3822EDD#PBF suitable for single-cell Li-ion batteries down to ~2.8V under load.
How does the IPRG pin affect current limiting in the LTC3822EDD#PBF?
The IPRG pin on the LTC3822EDD#PBF selects the maximum allowable peak sense voltage (ΔVSENSE(MAX)) between VIN and SW pins: 82mV when tied to GND, 120mV when floating, and 200mV when tied to VIN. This directly sets the peak inductor current limit as IPK = ΔVSENSE(MAX)/RDS(ON) of the top MOSFET. Slope compensation modifies this threshold above 20% duty cycle per Figure 1 in the datasheet, ensuring stability in continuous conduction mode.
Can the LTC3822EDD#PBF operate without a bootstrap capacitor?
No - the LTC3822EDD#PBF requires an external bootstrap capacitor (CB) connected between BOOST and SW pins to generate gate drive voltage >VIN for the top N-channel MOSFET. Without CB, TG cannot turn on fully, causing failure to regulate. A typical value is 100× the top MOSFET's total gate charge (QG). If a separate 5V supply is available, it can replace the bootstrap diode and capacitor for fixed 5V gate drive, but CB remains mandatory in standard configurations.
What is the purpose of the RUN pin on the LTC3822EDD#PBF?
The RUN pin on the LTC3822EDD#PBF provides digital enable/disable control: pulling it below 1.1V places the LTC3822EDD#PBF in shutdown mode, reducing quiescent current to 7.5μA and holding TG/BG outputs low. Releasing the pin allows an internal 0.7μA current source to pull it up to VIN, enabling the controller after reaching 1.1V. This pin also initiates the internal 650μs soft-start sequence, preventing output overshoot during power-up.
Does the LTC3822EDD#PBF include overvoltage protection, and how does it work?
Yes - the LTC3822EDD#PBF includes hardware-based output overvoltage protection (OVP). When the feedback voltage on VFB exceeds 0.68V (13.33% above the 0.6V reference), the OVP comparator triggers, immediately turning off the top gate driver (TG) and turning on the bottom gate driver (BG) to clamp the output. This action persists until VFB falls below the hysteresis threshold (0.66V), providing robust protection against feedback divider faults or transient surges without software intervention.
