1771 is a high efficiency current mode step-
down DC/DC controller that draws as little as 10µA DC
supply current to regulate the output at no load while
maintaining high efficiency for loads up to several amps.
The LTC1771 drives an external P-channel power MOSFET
using a current mode, constant off-time architecture. An
external sense resistor is used to program the operating
current level. Current mode control provides short-circuit
protection, excellent transient response and controlled
start-up behavior. Burst Mode operation enables the
LTC1771 to maintain high efficiency down to extremely
low currents. Shutdown mode further reduces the supply
current to a mere 2µA. For low noise applications, Burst
Mode operation can be easily disabled with the MODE pin.
Wide input supply range of 2.8V to 18V (20V maximum)
and 100% duty cycle operation for low dropout make the
LTC1771 ideal for a wide variety of battery-powered appli-
cations where maximizing battery life is important.
The LTC1771’s availability in both 8-lead MSOP and SO
packages provides for a minimum area solution.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2: T

is calculated from the ambient temperature T
A
and power
dissipation P

according to the following formulas:
LTC1771S8: T
J
= T
A
+ (P

Note 3: The LTC1771E 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. The LTC1771I is guaranteed and tested
over the –40°C to 85°C operating temperature range.

Note 4: Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being
delivered at the switching frequency. See Applications Information.
Note 5: The LTC1771 is tested in a feedback loop that servos V

Schottky diode leakage and feedback resistor current.
