Product details
Overview
LTC1707CS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic synchronous step-down DC/DC converter IC designed for battery-powered systems. It delivers up to 600mA output current with up to 96% efficiency, operates from 2.85V to 8.5V input, features 350kHz fixed-frequency PWM with external synchronization up to 550kHz, and supports low-dropout operation via 100% duty cycle - ideal for single/dual Li-ion portable power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1707CS8#PBF datasheet, LTC1707CS8#PBF pinout, LTC1707CS8#PBF application, or LTC1707CS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its internal P/N-channel MOSFETs, 0.8V feedback reference enabling outputs down to 0.8V, Burst Mode™ operation for <200µA quiescent current at light load, and SO-8 package compatibility with space-constrained handheld designs.
Technical Context
The LTC1707CS8#PBF implements a constant-frequency current-mode control architecture with integrated high-side P-channel and low-side N-channel MOSFETs. Its error amplifier output (ITH pin) directly controls peak inductor current, while VFB compares against a precision 0.80V ±1% reference to regulate output voltage.
Burst Mode™ operation is enabled by floating or pulling SYNC/MODE high, reducing quiescent current to 200µA; grounding SYNC/MODE forces pulse-skipping mode. Frequency foldback to ~35kHz under short-circuit conditions and undervoltage lockout at 2.70V ±0.15V ensure robust protection in battery-depleted scenarios.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.85V to 8.5V - supports full discharge range of single Li-ion (2.85V cutoff) and dual-cell configurations. |
| Output Current | 600mA (VIN ≥ 4V) - sufficient for baseband processors, RF transceivers, and sensor subsystems in portable devices. |
| Switching Frequency | 350kHz (internal), synchronizable to 385–550kHz - enables compact 15µH inductors while avoiding AM radio band interference. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.80V ±1% - allows precise regulation of low-voltage rails (e.g., 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V) using standard resistor dividers. |
| Quiescent Current | 200µA in Burst Mode - extends battery life in standby/sleep states without compromising wake-up response. |
| Shutdown Current | 11µA (VIN > 3V) - minimizes drain during system off-state, critical for long-term storage in IoT edge nodes. |
| UVLO Threshold | 2.70V ±0.15V - prevents deep discharge damage to lithium-ion cells while ensuring reliable restart above safe voltage. |
| RDS(ON) (P-FET) | 0.7Ω (typ) - limits conduction loss during high-duty-cycle dropout operation near VIN ≈ VOUT. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic SO (SO-8), 150 mil width, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant. Pin 1 marked with dot; top view shown in datasheet Figure 1b.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ITH (1) | Error amplifier compensation node | Controls peak inductor current; external RC network here sets loop stability and transient response. |
| RUN/SS (2) | Soft-start timing & shutdown enable | 0.7V threshold enables operation; capacitor to GND sets soft-start ramp time (~0.5s/µF); <0.4V forces shutdown. |
| VFB (3) | Feedback input | Compares against 0.8V internal reference; connects to resistive divider across output for voltage regulation. |
| GND (4) | Power and signal ground | Common return for all internal circuits; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| SW (5) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt switching current; requires tight layout with minimal trace inductance. |
| VIN (6) | Main power input | Supplies internal circuitry and switches; requires local 22µF ceramic decoupling close to pin. |
| SYNC/MODE (7) | External clock sync & operating mode select | Floating/high = Burst Mode; grounded = pulse-skipping mode; TTL/CMOS input accepts 385–550kHz external clock. |
| VREF (8) | Precision 1.19V reference output | ±1% accuracy; stable with ≤2000pF load; usable as bias source for external circuitry or ADC reference. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Eliminates external Schottky diode - reduces BOM count, improves efficiency by 5–10% at medium loads, and shrinks PCB area. |
| 100% duty cycle operation | Enables dropout regulation down to VIN – IOUT×RDS(ON) - extends runtime in battery-powered systems nearing end-of-discharge. |
| Internal current-mode control | Provides inherent line/load transient immunity without external compensation - simplifies design for fast-response applications like RF PA biasing. |
| Programmable Burst Mode™ | Reduces no-load input current to 200µA - critical for always-on sensors and wearable devices requiring multi-week standby. |
| Integrated 1.19V reference | ±1% initial accuracy, <15mV load regulation - enables accurate auxiliary voltage generation without adding a separate reference IC. |
| Short-circuit frequency foldback | Reduces oscillator frequency to ~35kHz during overload - prevents thermal runaway and inductor saturation under fault conditions. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LTC1707CS8#PBF?
The LTC1707CS8#PBF delivers up to 600mA continuous output current when VIN ≥ 4V. Below 4V, output current must be derated per Figures 2a/2b in the datasheet - e.g., ~400mA at VIN = 3.6V for VOUT = 3.3V. This limitation arises from increased conduction losses in the internal P-channel MOSFET at high duty cycles.
How does the LTC1707CS8#PBF achieve high efficiency at light loads?
The LTC1707CS8#PBF achieves high light-load efficiency via Burst Mode™ operation, which disables both internal MOSFETs and partially powers down control circuitry, reducing quiescent current to 200µA. During burst cycles, the output capacitor supplies load current until VOUT drops enough to trigger a new switching burst - minimizing switching losses without audible noise.
Can the LTC1707CS8#PBF operate with an input voltage below 3V?
Yes, the LTC1707CS8#PBF operates down to 2.85V input, making it suitable for deeply discharged single Li-ion cells. At VIN < 3V, it enters dropout mode with 100% duty cycle, regulating VOUT = VIN – IOUT × RDS(ON)P. Undervoltage lockout releases at 2.70V ±0.15V, preventing battery damage.
What is the function of the VREF pin on the LTC1707CS8#PBF?
The VREF pin on the LTC1707CS8#PBF provides a buffered 1.19V ±1% precision reference output, stable with up to 100µA load and 2000pF capacitance. It can power external circuitry (e.g., ADC references, sensor bias networks) or serve as a secondary feedback source - eliminating need for a discrete voltage reference IC in many portable designs.
Is the LTC1707CS8#PBF pin-compatible with other members of the LTC170x family?
No, the LTC1707CS8#PBF is not pin-compatible with LTC1701/LTC1702/LTC1706 variants. While sharing functional similarities, pin assignments differ - e.g., LTC1706 uses different SYNC and ITH configurations. Always verify pinout against the specific datasheet; migration requires PCB layout revision.
