The LTC
®
1773 is a current mode synchronous buck regu-
lator controller that drives external complementary power
MOSFETs using a fixed frequency architecture. The oper-
ating supply range is from 2.65V to 8.5V, making it
suitable for 1- or 2-cell lithium-ion battery powered appli-
cations. Burst Mode
®
operation provides high efficiency at
low load currents. 100% duty cycle provides low dropout
operation which extends operating time in battery-oper-
ated systems.
The operating frequency is internally set at 550kHz, allow-
ing the use of small surface mount inductors. For switch-
ing-noise sensitive applications, it can be synchronized up
to 750kHz. Peak current limit is user programmable with
an external high side sense resistor. A SYNC/FCB control
pin guarantees regulation of secondary windings regard-
less of load on the main output by forcing continuous
operation. Burst Mode operation is inhibited during syn-
chronization or when the SYNC/FCB pin is pulled low to
reduce noise and RF interference. Soft-start is provided by
an external capacitor.
Synchronous rectification increases efficiency and elimi-
nates the need for a Schottky diode, saving components
and board space. The LTC1773 comes in a 10-lead MSOP
package.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
The LTC1773 is guaranteed to meet performance specifications from
0°C to 70°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating temperature
range are assured by design, characterization and correlation with statistical
process controls.
Note 3:
T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature T
A
and power dissipation
P
D
according to the following formula:
LTC1773: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
• 120°C/W)
Note 4:
The LTC1773 is tested in a feedback loop which servos V
FB
to the
balance point for the error amplifier (V
ITH
= 0.8V)
Note 5:
Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being
delivered at the switching frequency.
Note 6:
Rise and fall times are measured using 10% and 90% levels.

PIN FUNCTIONS
I
TH
(Pin 1):
Error Amplifier Compensation Point. The
current comparator threshold increases with this control
voltage. Nominal voltage range for this pin is 0V to 1.2V.
Under high duty cycle and nearing current limit, I
TH
can
swing up to 2.4V.
RUN/SS (Pin 2):
Combination of Soft-Start and Run
Control Inputs. A capacitor to ground at this pin sets the
ramp time to full current output. The time is approximately
0.8s/µF. Forcing this pin below 0.4V shuts down all the
circuitry.
SYNC/FCB (Pin 3):
Multifunction Pin. This pin performs
three functions: 1) secondary winding feedback input, 2)
external clock synchronization and 3) Burst Mode opera-
tion or forced continuous mode select. For secondary
winding applications, connect to a resistive divider from
the secondary output. To synchronize with an external
clock, apply a TTL/CMOS compatible clock with a fre-
quency between 585kHz and 750kHz. To select Burst
Mode operation, tie SYNC/FCB to V
IN
. Grounding this pin
forces continuous operation.
V
FB
(Pin 4):
Feedback Pin. Receives the feedback voltage
from an external resistive divider across the output. Do not
use more than 0.01µF of feedforward capacitance from FB
to the output.
GND (Pin 5):
Ground Pin.
BG (Pin 6):
Bottom Gate Driver of External N-Channel
Power MOSFET. This pin swings from 0V to V
IN
.
TG (Pin 7):
Top Gate Driver of External P-Channel Power
MOSFET. This pin swings from 0V to V
IN
.
V
IN
(Pin 8) :
Main Supply Pin. Must be closely decoupled
to GND (pin 5).
SENSE
–
(Pin 9):
The Negative Input to the Current Com-
parator. A sense resistor between this pin and V
IN
sets the
peak current in the top switch. Connect this pin to the
source of the external P-Channel power MOSFET.
SW (Pin 10):
Switch Node Connection to Inductor. This
pin connects to the drains of the external main and
synchronous power MOSFET switches.
