Product details
Overview
LTC3835EUFD#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-performance, constant-frequency current-mode synchronous step-down controller driving dual N-channel MOSFETs. It operates from 4V to 36V input, delivers up to 10V output with ±1% accuracy, supports phase-locked frequencies from 140kHz to 650kHz, and achieves 99% duty cycle for ultra-low dropout-ideal for telecom power supplies and battery-powered industrial systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3835EUFD#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3835EUFD#TRPBF pinout, LTC3835EUFD#TRPBF application, or LTC3835EUFD#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 80µA no-load quiescent current, OPTI-LOOP® compensation for wide output capacitor/ESR tolerance, integrated PGOOD monitor, EXTVCC-enabled gate drive efficiency, and soft-start/tracking capability via dedicated TRACK/SS pin.
Technical Context
The LTC3835EUFD#TRPBF implements a current-mode control architecture with a precision 0.8V reference, internal transconductance amplifier (gm = 1.55 mmho), and adjustable ITH-based peak current limiting. Its PLLIN/MODE pin selects light-load operation mode-Burst Mode® (≤0.8V), pulse-skipping (>0.8V < INTVCC–0.5V), or forced continuous (tied to INTVCC)-enabling optimization of efficiency vs. ripple/noise trade-offs.
It integrates dual gate drivers (TG/BG) with 50ns/40ns typical rise/fall times, internal LDOs powering INTVCC from VIN (5.25V) or EXTVCC (7.5V), and robust protection including output overvoltage lockout (±12% VFB), current foldback, and undervoltage lockout (3.5V). The CLKOUT and PHASMD pins support PolyPhase® multi-phase synchronization.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 36V - supports 12V/24V battery systems and wide-input industrial rails. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.8V to 10V - programmable via external resistor divider; 0.8V reference enables low-VOUT regulation. |
| No-Load Quiescent Current | 80µA - extends runtime in always-on battery-powered devices like IoT sensors. |
| Switching Frequency | 140kHz to 650kHz (phase-lockable) - balances efficiency (low f) and component size (high f). |
| Reference Accuracy | ±1% over temperature - ensures stable output voltage across –40°C to 85°C operating range. |
| Duty Cycle Max | 99.4% - enables near-dropout operation for minimal VIN–VOUT differential. |
| PGOOD Threshold | ±10% VFB trip level - provides reliable power-good signaling for system sequencing. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 20-pin (4mm × 5mm) plastic QFN (UFD), exposed thermal pad (Pin 21) soldered to SGND for thermal and electrical integrity. qJA = 37°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ITH | Error amplifier output / current limit control | Adjusts peak inductor current threshold; sets loop compensation via external RC network. |
| TRACK/SS | Soft-start and voltage tracking input | Internal 1µA pull-up charges external capacitor for linear VOUT ramp; accepts external divider for supply tracking. |
| VFB | Feedback voltage input | Compares divided output voltage against 0.8V reference; enables precise regulation and PGOOD monitoring. |
| SGND / PGND | Signal ground / power ground | Separate routing required: SGND for analog circuitry; PGND for high-current MOSFET return paths. |
| TG / BG | Top / bottom gate drivers | Drive external N-MOSFETs with fast transitions (50ns/40ns typ); TG floats on SW node using BOOST capacitor. |
| CLKOUT / PHASMD | Phase-synchronized clock output / phase select | Enables daisy-chained multi-phase operation; PHASMD configures TG-to-CLKOUT phase relationship. |
| EXTVCC | External VCC input for INTVCC LDO | Bypasses VIN-fed LDO when >4.7V applied; improves efficiency by sourcing gate drive from regulated output rail. |
| PGOOD | Open-drain power-good indicator | Asserts low when VFB deviates >±10% from setpoint; requires external pull-up for logic-level interface. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| OPTI-LOOP® Compensation | Minimizes required output capacitance and ESR tolerance-supports ceramic, polymer, or electrolytic capacitors without instability. |
| Selectible Light-Load Modes | Burst Mode® (80µA IQ), pulse-skipping, or forced continuous-enables design-specific optimization of efficiency, ripple, and EMI. |
| Integrated Dual Gate Drivers | Drives high-side and low-side N-MOSFETs with matched timing (70ns sync delays) and 3A peak current capability. |
| Robust Protection Suite | Includes output overvoltage lockout (±12%), current foldback during short-circuit, UVLO (3.5V), and thermal shutdown (125°C). |
| PolyPhase® Synchronization | CLKOUT and PHASMD pins allow precise phase alignment across multiple controllers-reduces input/output ripple in multi-phase designs. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LTC3835EUFD#TRPBF to operate?
The LTC3835EUFD#TRPBF has an undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold of 3.5V (typical), with guaranteed operation starting at 4V input. Below 3.5V, the controller disables all functions and draws only 10µA in shutdown. This ensures reliable startup from partially discharged batteries or unstable intermediate rails.
How does the EXTVCC pin improve efficiency in LTC3835EUFD#TRPBF designs?
The EXTVCC pin on the LTC3835EUFD#TRPBF allows the internal INTVCC LDO to be powered from an external regulated rail (e.g., 5V or 3.3V output) instead of VIN. When EXTVCC exceeds 4.7V, the controller switches from the 5.25V VIN-fed LDO to a 7.5V EXTVCC-fed LDO-reducing gate driver losses and improving overall converter efficiency, especially in high-VIN, low-VOUT applications.
Can LTC3835EUFD#TRPBF be used in multi-phase configurations?
Yes, the LTC3835EUFD#TRPBF supports multi-phase operation via its CLKOUT and PHASMD pins. CLKOUT provides a synchronized open-drain clock signal for daisy-chaining additional controllers, while PHASMD adjusts the phase offset between TG and CLKOUT-enabling precise interleaving for reduced input/output ripple and improved thermal distribution in high-current designs.
What is the purpose of the TRACK/SS pin on LTC3835EUFD#TRPBF?
The TRACK/SS pin on the LTC3835EUFD#TRPBF serves dual functions: soft-start and voltage tracking. An internal 1µA current source charges an external capacitor to generate a linear ramp, controlling VOUT rise time. Alternatively, connecting a resistor divider from another supply enables the LTC3835EUFD#TRPBF output to track that supply during startup-ensuring safe, sequenced power-up in multi-rail systems.
Does LTC3835EUFD#TRPBF support output voltages below 1V?
Yes, the LTC3835EUFD#TRPBF regulates based on a precision 0.8V internal reference, enabling output voltages as low as 0.8V. With appropriate external feedback resistors and layout attention to noise immunity, stable sub-1V outputs (e.g., 0.85V, 0.9V) are achievable-making it suitable for modern low-voltage SoC core supplies.
