Product details
Overview
LTC3835IGN-1#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-efficiency, low-quiescent-current synchronous step-down DC/DC controller driving dual N-channel MOSFETs. It operates from 4V to 36V input, delivers adjustable output from 0.8V to 10V with ±1% accuracy, and achieves 99% duty cycle for ultra-low dropout-enabling use in automotive battery systems and telecom power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3835IGN-1#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3835IGN-1#TRPBF pinout, LTC3835IGN-1#TRPBF application, or LTC3835IGN-1#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 80μA no-load IQ, phase-lockable 140–650kHz switching frequency, OPTI-LOOP® compensation, output overvoltage protection, and compatibility with 16-lead SSOP packaging for space-constrained industrial power designs.
Technical Context
The LTC3835IGN-1#TRPBF implements a constant-frequency current-mode control architecture with integrated error amplifier, transconductance gm = 1.55 mmho, and precision 0.8V reference. Its ITH pin directly controls peak inductor current via voltage-programmed current limit, while the TRACK/SS pin enables soft-start or supply tracking via internal 1μA pull-up current.
It features three selectable light-load operating modes-Burst Mode® (80μA IQ), pulse-skipping, or forced continuous-determined by the DC voltage on PLLIN/MODE. The device includes dedicated SENSE+ and SENSE− pins for accurate differential current sensing, reverse-current prevention logic, and output overvoltage lockout triggered at +10% VFB deviation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 4V to 36V - supports 12V/24V automotive and telecom battery inputs without pre-regulation |
| VOUT Range | 0.8V to 10V - programmable via external resistor divider; ±1% accuracy ensures stable core voltage regulation |
| IQ (No Load) | 80μA - extends runtime in battery-powered digital devices and IoT edge nodes |
| Switching Frequency | 140kHz to 650kHz - phase-lockable to external clock; enables EMI-controlled synchronization across multiple rails |
| Duty Cycle Max | 99.4% - allows operation with VIN as low as ~1.01×VOUT, critical for cold-crank automotive scenarios |
| Output Protection | Overvoltage lockout at +10% VFB - disables top FET and activates bottom FET to clamp transient overshoots |
| Package | 16-Lead Plastic SSOP - surface-mount footprint compatible with standard reflow processes and manual inspection |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-Lead Plastic SSOP (GN), exposed pad not present; θJA = 90°C/W; operating junction temperature up to 125°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PLLIN/MODE | Mode selection & sync input | DC voltage sets light-load mode (Burst/Pulse-Skipping/Continuous); external clock input enables phase-locking between 140–650kHz |
| SENSE+ | Current sense positive input | Connects to high-side of current-sense resistor; common-mode range 0V to 10V enables high-side sensing |
| SENSE− | Current sense negative input | Connects to low-side of current-sense resistor; differential input rejects noise in high-dI/dt paths |
| RUN | Enable/disable control | Pull below 0.7V to shut down entire controller; reduces IQ to 10μA and disables INTVCC regulator |
| TRACK/SS | Soft-start & tracking input | Internal 1μA pull-up charges external capacitor for linear VOUT ramp; also accepts resistor divider for supply tracking |
| VFB | Feedback input | Compares against 0.8V reference; regulates output by adjusting ITH voltage to maintain 0.8V at this pin |
| SGND | Small-signal ground | Must be routed separately from PGND to avoid noise coupling into feedback and error amplifier paths |
| PGND | Power ground | Return path for bottom MOSFET source, Schottky anode, and input capacitor; ties to high-current return plane |
| BG | Bottom gate driver output | Drives synchronous N-MOSFET gate from 0V to INTVCC (5.25V); fast rise/fall times (<90ns) minimize conduction loss |
| INTVCC | Internal LDO output | 5.25V regulated supply for drivers and control logic; requires ≥4.7μF low-ESR capacitor to PGND |
| VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 4–36V; powers internal LDO and provides bootstrap recharge path; bypass capacitor mandatory |
| SW | Switch node | Connects to inductor; voltage swings from −0.3V (Schottky drop) to VIN; critical for layout and EMI control |
| TG | Top gate driver output | Floating driver output referenced to SW; swing = INTVCC − 0.5V above SW; drives high-side N-MOSFET |
| BOOST | Bootstrap supply | Capacitor between BOOST and SW sustains TG drive during high-side conduction; diode to INTVCC enables recharge |
| PLLLPF | PLL loop filter | RC network to SGND sets PLL bandwidth when synchronizing to external clock; floating = 400kHz nominal |
| ITH | Error amplifier output | Controls peak inductor current; voltage range 0.4V–2.0V maps to full current limit scale; used for loop compensation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| OPTI-LOOP® Compensation | Allows stable loop response across wide range of output capacitance (10μF–1000μF) and ESR values without redesigning compensation network |
| Adjustable Light-Load Mode | Selectable Burst Mode® (80μA IQ), pulse-skipping, or forced continuous via single DC voltage on PLLIN/MODE pin |
| Dual N-Channel MOSFET Drive | Integrated high-current TG and BG drivers eliminate need for external level-shifters or gate drivers in synchronous buck designs |
| Output Overvoltage Protection | Hardware-based comparator disables top FET and turns on bottom FET within microseconds if VFB exceeds 0.88V (10% OV) |
| Ultra-Low Dropout Operation | 99.4% max duty cycle enables regulation with VIN only 1% above VOUT-critical for 12V-to-3.3V conversion during automotive cold-crank |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3833IGN#TRPBF | Includes PGOOD and CLKOUT outputs; higher 100μA IQ; same SSOP package and pinout except added functions | Required where power-good signaling or clock distribution is needed; not drop-in due to extra pins and different MODE behavior | Choose LTC3833IGN#TRPBF only if PGOOD status monitoring or clock output is essential; otherwise LTC3835IGN-1#TRPBF offers lower IQ and simpler interface |
| MP2315DJ-LF-Z | Integrated MOSFETs (not controller); fixed 3.3V/5V options; 300kHz fixed frequency; no PLL or TRACK/SS | Suitable for cost-sensitive, low-complexity designs where external FETs and flexibility are unnecessary | Choose MP2315DJ-LF-Z for compact, low-BOM-count solutions; LTC3835IGN-1#TRPBF remains preferred for high-efficiency, high-flexibility, or high-current (>6A) applications requiring discrete FETs |
Compared with LTC3833IGN#TRPBF, the LTC3835IGN-1#TRPBF trades PGOOD/CLKOUT functionality for 20μA lower no-load IQ and simplified mode control; versus MP2315DJ-LF-Z, it provides full external FET control, wider VOUT adjustability, and advanced features like phase-locking and tracking-but requires additional MOSFETs and layout effort.

FAQ
What is the maximum duty cycle supported by the LTC3835IGN-1#TRPBF?
The LTC3835IGN-1#TRPBF supports a maximum duty cycle of 99.4%, enabling ultra-low dropout operation where input voltage may approach the output voltage-such as during automotive cold-crank events. This specification is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "DFMAX" and applies across the full –40°C to +85°C operating temperature range.
Does the LTC3835IGN-1#TRPBF include built-in output overvoltage protection?
Yes, the LTC3835IGN-1#TRPBF includes hardware-based output overvoltage protection. When the VFB pin voltage exceeds 0.88V (i.e., +10% of the 0.8V reference), the top MOSFET is immediately disabled and the bottom MOSFET is turned on to clamp the output. This behavior is documented in the Applications Information section and verified in functional testing per the datasheet.
How does the TRACK/SS pin function on the LTC3835IGN-1#TRPBF?
The TRACK/SS pin on the LTC3835IGN-1#TRPBF serves dual purposes: it enables soft-start via an internal 1μA pull-up current charging an external capacitor, or supply tracking via an external resistor divider. During startup, the controller regulates VFB to the smaller of 0.8V or the TRACK/SS voltage-ensuring monotonic, controlled VOUT ramp-up without overshoot.
What are the light-load operating modes available on the LTC3835IGN-1#TRPBF?
The LTC3835IGN-1#TRPBF supports three configurable light-load modes via the PLLIN/MODE pin: Burst Mode® (IQ = 80μA), pulse-skipping, or forced continuous conduction. Pulling PLLIN/MODE below 0.7V selects Burst Mode®, tying to INTVCC forces continuous mode, and applying 0.9V–(INTVCC − 0.5V) enables pulse-skipping-each validated in the Electrical Characteristics and Applications sections.
Is the LTC3835IGN-1#TRPBF pin-compatible with other members of the LTC3835 family?
No-the LTC3835IGN-1#TRPBF is not pin-compatible with the standard LTC3835 (e.g., LTC3835EGN#TRPBF), as it omits CLKOUT, EXTVCC, and PGOOD pins. The pin count is identical (16-lead SSOP), but signal mapping differs: PLLIN/MODE replaces CLKOUT, and RUN replaces EXTVCC. This difference is explicitly detailed in the "Comparison of LTC3835 and LTC3835-1" table in the datasheet.
