Product details
Overview
LTC3822EGN-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% 0.6V reference accuracy, and supports 99% duty cycle for low-dropout operation in Li-ion-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3822EGN-1#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3822EGN-1#TRPBF pinout, LTC3822EGN-1#TRPBF application, or LTC3822EGN-1#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its no-RSENSE architecture, programmable 250–750kHz switching frequency, Burst Mode® efficiency optimization, digital RUN control, and integrated overvoltage protection - all in a thermally enhanced 16-pin narrow SSOP package.
Technical Context
The LTC3822EGN-1#TRPBF implements a constant-frequency current-mode control architecture with MOSFET VDS sensing, eliminating external sense resistors while maintaining precise peak-current limiting via the ITH pin and IPRG-selectable ΔVSENSE(MAX) thresholds (82mV/125mV/200mV). Its phase-lockable oscillator supports synchronization from 250kHz to 750kHz, and internal soft-start provides controlled 1ms ramp-up of VFB from 0.05V to 0.55V.
It features dual N-channel gate drivers (TG/BG) with 40–50ns rise/fall times into 3000pF, output overvoltage protection triggered at 0.68V on VFB (±13.3% window), and micropower shutdown drawing only 7.5µA. The GN package includes a dedicated PGOOD open-drain output, while the DFN variant omits it - confirming LTC3822EGN-1#TRPBF's identity as the 16-pin SSOP version with PGOOD functionality.

FAQ
What is the function of the IPRG pin on the LTC3822EGN-1#TRPBF?
The IPRG pin on the LTC3822EGN-1#TRPBF selects the maximum peak current sense voltage threshold (ΔVSENSE(MAX)) across the top MOSFET: tying to GND sets 82mV, floating sets 125mV, and tying to VIN sets 200mV. This allows designers to optimize RDS(ON) selection for different load currents and thermal constraints while maintaining accurate current limiting in the LTC3822EGN-1#TRPBF.
Does the LTC3822EGN-1#TRPBF support external synchronization, and what is its valid frequency range?
Yes, the LTC3822EGN-1#TRPBF supports external synchronization via the SYNC/MODE pin, with a valid locking range of 250kHz to 750kHz. When an external clock is applied, the internal oscillator phase-locks to it, suppressing switching frequency jitter and enabling EMI reduction in noise-sensitive systems - a confirmed capability documented in the LTC3822EGN-1#TRPBF datasheet Figure 10 and Electrical Characteristics table.
How does the PGOOD pin on the LTC3822EGN-1#TRPBF operate, and what conditions trigger it?
The PGOOD pin on the LTC3822EGN-1#TRPBF is an open-drain output pulled low when the feedback voltage (VFB) deviates more than ±13.3% from the 0.6V reference - indicating output overvoltage, undervoltage, or startup incomplete. It remains low during RUN pin shutdown or VIN UVLO, providing unambiguous system-level power health monitoring for the LTC3822EGN-1#TRPBF.
Can the LTC3822EGN-1#TRPBF be used without an external soft-start capacitor?
Yes, the LTC3822EGN-1#TRPBF includes internal soft-start: connecting TRACK/SS to VIN activates a fixed ~1ms ramp where VFB is regulated to an internal linear ramp instead of 0.6V. This ensures controlled output rise without external components - a verified feature described in the LTC3822EGN-1#TRPBF Applications Information section and confirmed in Typical Performance Characteristic Figure G15.
What protection features are integrated into the LTC3822EGN-1#TRPBF?
The LTC3822EGN-1#TRPBF integrates output overvoltage protection (OVP), undervoltage lockout (UVLO), short-circuit foldback, reverse-current prevention, and thermal shutdown. OVP triggers at VFB = 0.68V to disable TG and activate BG; UVLO disables all functions below 2.25V VIN; and reverse-current detection uses the SENSE– pin to turn off BG before inductor current reverses - all explicitly specified in the LTC3822EGN-1#TRPBF datasheet.
