Product details
Overview
LTC1707IS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator IC with current-mode control, 350kHz fixed switching frequency, 0.8V reference, and 600mA output current capability at VIN ≥ 4V. It integrates P-channel and N-channel MOSFETs, supports Burst Mode™ operation for high light-load efficiency, and delivers low dropout via 100% duty cycle - ideal for single/dual Li-ion battery-powered portable instruments and RF communications systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1707IS8#PBF datasheet, LTC1707IS8#PBF pinout, LTC1707IS8#PBF application, or LTC1707IS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (2.85V–8.5V), feedback reference accuracy (0.78V–0.82V), undervoltage lockout threshold (2.70V typ), quiescent current (200µA in Burst Mode), and SO-8 package thermal resistance (θJA = 120°C/W).
Technical Context
The LTC1707IS8#PBF implements a constant-frequency current-mode buck architecture with internal synchronous rectification, eliminating external Schottky diodes. Its error amplifier output (ITH pin) controls peak inductor current, while VFB compares output voltage against a precision 0.8V internal reference.
Burst Mode™ operation enables discontinuous switching at light loads, reducing quiescent current to 200µA; pulse-skipping mode activates when SYNC/MODE is grounded. Frequency synchronization (385–550kHz) disables Burst Mode and enforces PWM operation, suppressing audio-band ripple in noise-sensitive applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 2.85V to 8.5V - supports single-cell (2.85V cutoff) and dual-cell Li-ion battery inputs without external LDO pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 600mA max at VIN ≥ 4V - derated below 4V per Figure 2a/b; requires inductor and layout optimization for full rating. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.80V ±2.5% (0.78V–0.82V) - enables precise regulation of VOUT ≥ 0.8V using external resistor divider. |
| Switching Frequency | 350kHz (internal), synchronizable to 385–550kHz - balances efficiency, inductor size, and EMI; avoids audio band. |
| Quiescent Current | 200µA in Burst Mode - extends battery runtime in standby; drops to 11µA in shutdown (RUN/SS < 0.4V). |
| UVLO Threshold | 2.70V ±0.15V (2.55V–2.85V) - prevents deep discharge of Li-ion cells; includes 100mV hysteresis for noise immunity. |
| Efficiency Peak | 96% at VOUT = 3.3V, VIN = 6V, IOUT = 300mA - achieved via synchronous rectification and low RDS(ON) FETs (0.5Ω/0.6Ω typ). |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic SO (SO-8), surface-mount, θJA = 120°C/W, TJMAX = 125°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ITH (1) | Error amplifier output / current limit control | 0–1.2V analog interface to set peak inductor current; used for external compensation and soft-start ramp control. |
| RUN/SS (2) | Enable + soft-start control | Pull < 0.4V for shutdown (11µA IQ); capacitor to GND sets soft-start time (~0.5s/µF); internal 2.25µA current source. |
| VFB (3) | Feedback input | Connects to resistive divider across VOUT; regulated to 0.8V; input bias current ≤ 60nA minimizes divider error. |
| GND (4) | Power and signal ground | Common return for SW, VIN decoupling, feedback network, and compensation components; must be low-impedance. |
| SW (5) | Switch node | Drain connection of internal P- and N-channel MOSFETs; high dv/dt node requiring tight layout and minimal trace area. |
| VIN (6) | Main power input | Supplies gate drive and bias circuits; requires local 22µF/16V ceramic or low-ESR capacitor directly to GND (Pin 4). |
| SYNC/MODE (7) | Frequency sync input / mode select | Float or tie to VIN for Burst Mode; ground for pulse-skipping; accept 385–550kHz TTL/CMOS clock for synchronization. |
| VREF (8) | Precision 1.19V reference output | ±1% accuracy (1.178–1.202V), loadable to 100µA; stable with up to 2000pF capacitance; usable for external circuit biasing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Integrated P- and N-channel MOSFETs eliminate external Schottky diode, improving efficiency by ~5–10% and saving board space. |
| Burst Mode™ operation | Reduces quiescent current to 200µA at light loads while maintaining regulation - critical for battery longevity in portable devices. |
| 100% duty cycle low-dropout | Enables VOUT tracking VIN down to VOUT = VIN − (IPK × RDS(ON)P), extending runtime as battery discharges below VOUT. |
| External frequency synchronization | Locks switching to 385–550kHz external clock, eliminating beat frequencies and enabling EMI reduction in multi-rail systems. |
| Internal soft-start and UVLO | Programmable soft-start via RUN/SS capacitor prevents inrush current; precision 2.7V UVLO protects Li-ion cells from over-discharge. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3605EDE#PBF | Higher 1.2MHz switching frequency, 1.5A output, integrated compensation; requires smaller inductor but higher gate charge loss. | Better suited for space-constrained designs needing >1A output; less optimal for ultra-low IQ battery standby. | Select LTC3605EDE#PBF when board area is critical and load exceeds 600mA; retain LTC1707IS8#PBF for cost-sensitive, low-IQ portable instruments. |
| TPS62231DRVR | 3MHz fixed frequency, 600mA, 17µA IQ in DCS-Control™ mode; no Burst Mode™, lower UVLO (2.3V), SO-8 compatible pinout. | Superior light-load efficiency in DCS-Control™ but lacks 100% duty cycle dropout and programmable soft-start. | Choose TPS62231DRVR for compact, high-frequency designs with stable input >2.3V; prefer LTC1707IS8#PBF for Li-ion systems requiring robust UVLO and true dropout operation. |
Compared with LTC3605EDE#PBF and TPS62231DRVR, the LTC1707IS8#PBF uniquely combines 100% duty cycle dropout, 2.7V precision UVLO, and Burst Mode™ with SO-8 packaging - making it irreplaceable in legacy Li-ion portable designs where battery protection and extended low-load runtime are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current of the LTC1707IS8#PBF and under what conditions?
The LTC1707IS8#PBF delivers up to 600mA continuous output current when VIN ≥ 4V, ambient temperature is ≤85°C, and proper thermal design (SO-8 θJA = 120°C/W) and PCB layout are implemented. Below 4V input, output current must be derated per Figures 2a/2b - e.g., ~400mA at VIN = 3.6V for VOUT = 3.3V. The LTC1707IS8#PBF achieves this with internal synchronous MOSFETs having RDS(ON) of 0.5Ω (P-FET) and 0.6Ω (N-FET) at –100mA.
How does the LTC1707IS8#PBF achieve high efficiency at light loads?
The LTC1707IS8#PBF achieves high light-load efficiency via Burst Mode™ operation: it discontinuously switches the internal MOSFETs, reducing quiescent current to 200µA while maintaining regulation. When load drops below ~30mA, the ITH voltage falls below 0.12V, triggering sleep mode where both FETs turn off and internal circuitry powers down. The LTC1707IS8#PBF resumes switching only when VOUT droop raises ITH above 0.22V - minimizing average power draw without sacrificing stability.
Can the LTC1707IS8#PBF operate with input voltages below 3V?
Yes, the LTC1707IS8#PBF operates down to 2.85V input, making it suitable for single Li-ion battery applications near end-of-discharge. Its precision 2.7V undervoltage lockout (UVLO) prevents deep discharge, and 100% duty cycle operation allows VOUT to track VIN down to VOUT = VIN − (IPK × RDS(ON)P). At 2.85V input, the LTC1707IS8#PBF maintains regulation for VOUT ≥ 0.8V, though output current is limited (e.g., ~200mA at VOUT = 1.8V per Figure 2a).
What is the function of the SYNC/MODE pin on the LTC1707IS8#PBF?
The SYNC/MODE pin on the LTC1707IS8#PBF serves dual functions: (1) frequency synchronization - accept 385–550kHz TTL/CMOS clock to lock switching and reduce EMI; (2) mode selection - floating or tied to VIN enables Burst Mode™, while grounding forces pulse-skipping mode. During synchronization, Burst Mode™ is inhibited to prevent low-frequency ripple from interfering with audio circuits - a key design feature confirmed in the LTC1707IS8#PBF datasheet.
Does the LTC1707IS8#PBF require an external Schottky diode?
No, the LTC1707IS8#PBF does not require an external Schottky diode because it integrates both a P-channel main switch and an N-channel synchronous rectifier switch. This synchronous rectification eliminates conduction losses associated with external diodes, improves full-load efficiency by ~5–10%, reduces thermal stress, and saves board space. The LTC1707IS8#PBF's internal FETs have typical RDS(ON) values of 0.5Ω (P-FET) and 0.6Ω (N-FET), optimized for 350kHz operation.
