Product details
Overview
LTC3407AEDD#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual-channel synchronous step-down DC/DC converter optimized for low-power portable electronics. It operates from 2.5V to 5.5V input, delivers up to 600mA per channel, switches at a fixed 1.5MHz frequency, and supports adjustable output voltages from 0.6V to 5V - enabling compact designs in digital cameras and cellular handsets.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3407AEDD#PBF datasheet, LTC3407AEDD#PBF pinout, LTC3407AEDD#PBF application, or LTC3407AEDD#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-channel 1.5MHz constant-frequency operation, 40μA quiescent current in active mode, Burst Mode® vs Pulse Skip Mode trade-off, integrated 0.35Ω P-channel top switches, and 3mm × 3mm DFN-10 package with exposed thermal pad.
Technical Context
The LTC3407AEDD#PBF implements a current-mode control architecture with shared 1.5MHz oscillator across both channels, enabling precise in-phase switching and stable transient response. Its dual error amplifiers compare feedback voltages (VFB1/VFB2) against a 0.6V reference to regulate each output independently, while overvoltage/undervoltage comparators feed into a common open-drain POR output.
Operation includes three distinct low-load regimes: continuous conduction mode (CCM), Burst Mode® (for peak efficiency at light loads with intermittent switching), and Pulse Skip Mode (for lowest output ripple at light loads with fixed-frequency skipping). The MODE/SYNC pin selects mode or accepts external synchronization signal, and dropout is supported via 100% duty cycle with P-channel MOSFETs fully enhanced.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, Li-polymer, and 3.3V/5V rail inputs without pre-regulation. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.5MHz (typ) - enables use of sub-1mm-height inductors and ceramic capacitors for ultra-thin portable designs. |
| Output Current per Channel | 600mA - sufficient for core logic rails (e.g., 1.8V/2.5V) in PDAs, modems, and camera modules. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 0.6V ±12mV - sets output voltage via external resistor divider; enables precise regulation down to 0.6V. |
| Quiescent Current | 40μA (both channels active) - extends battery runtime in always-on subsystems like standby processors or sensors. |
| Shutdown Current | <1μA - ensures negligible drain during system sleep or power-off states. |
| Top Switch RDS(ON) | 0.35Ω (typ) - eliminates need for external Schottky diodes and improves full-load efficiency to 96%. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for commercial and industrial portable equipment environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-lead 3mm × 3mm plastic DFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 11 = PGND). Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VFB1 (Pin 1) | Channel 1 feedback input | Connects to resistive divider on VOUT1; regulates output by comparing to 0.6V internal reference. |
| RUN/SS1 (Pin 2) | Channel 1 enable & soft-start | Pull to VIN to enable; pull to GND to disable; RC network adds controlled voltage ramp for inrush limiting. |
| VIN (Pin 3) | Main power input | Supplies both regulators; requires local 10μF ceramic decoupling to minimize high-frequency noise. |
| SW1 (Pin 4) | Channel 1 switch node | Connects to inductor L1; swings between VIN and GND; layout critical for EMI and efficiency. |
| GND (Pin 5) | Analog and power ground | Reference for feedback, error amp, and POR; must tie to low-impedance ground plane near CIN/COUT. |
| MODE/SYNC (Pin 6) | Mode select & sync input | Tie to VIN for Burst Mode®; tie to GND for Pulse Skip Mode; apply external 1.5MHz clock for synchronization. |
| SW2 (Pin 7) | Channel 2 switch node | Identical function to SW1; independent inductor connection required for dual-output isolation. |
| POR (Pin 8) | Power-on reset output | Open-drain; pulls low if either VOUT deviates >±8.5%; releases after 65,536 clock cycles (~44ms in Pulse Skip). |
| RUN/SS2 (Pin 9) | Channel 2 enable & soft-start | Functionally identical to RUN/SS1; allows independent sequencing or shutdown of second regulator. |
| VFB2 (Pin 10) | Channel 2 feedback input | Same 0.6V reference as VFB1; supports independent output voltage setting for dual-rail systems. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual synchronous buck topology | Eliminates external Schottky diodes; achieves up to 96% efficiency at 600mA with integrated 0.35Ω/0.30Ω P/N switches. |

| 100% duty-cycle dropout | Enables VOUT ≈ VIN – ILOAD×RDS(ON) operation when input drops near output voltage - critical for Li-ion end-of-discharge. |
| Externally synchronizable oscillator | Allows noise-sensitive systems (e.g., RF sections) to lock switching to a clean system clock, avoiding beat frequencies. |
| Power-On Reset (POR) with fault detection | Monitors both outputs continuously; asserts open-drain signal if either falls outside ±8.5%, supporting safe boot sequencing. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current per channel for the LTC3407AEDD#PBF?
The LTC3407AEDD#PBF delivers up to 600mA per channel under typical conditions (VIN = 3.6V, VOUT = 1.8V, TA = 25°C). Actual achievable current depends on thermal design, input voltage, output voltage, and ambient temperature - with the 3mm × 3mm DFN package supporting sustained 600mA/channel when the exposed pad is properly soldered to a thermal plane.
Does the LTC3407AEDD#PBF require external Schottky diodes?
No, the LTC3407AEDD#PBF does not require external Schottky diodes. It integrates synchronous P-channel (0.35Ω typ) and N-channel (0.30Ω typ) MOSFETs per channel, enabling high-efficiency operation up to 96% while eliminating diode forward voltage drop and associated heat generation.
How does Burst Mode® operation improve efficiency in the LTC3407AEDD#PBF?
Burst Mode® operation in the LTC3407AEDD#PBF reduces light-load quiescent current to 40μA by disabling switching until output voltage droop triggers a burst of switching cycles. This minimizes gate charge losses and significantly extends battery life in standby or idle states - especially critical in always-on subsystems like real-time clocks or sensor interfaces.
Can the LTC3407AEDD#PBF be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, the LTC3407AEDD#PBF can be synchronized to an external 1.5MHz clock applied to the MODE/SYNC pin (Pin 6). During synchronization, the device automatically enters Pulse Skip Mode and aligns the rising edge of its internal clock with the external signal - reducing EMI and avoiding beat frequencies in noise-sensitive applications such as RF front-ends.
What is the function of the POR pin on the LTC3407AEDD#PBF?
The POR (Power-On Reset) pin on the LTC3407AEDD#PBF is an open-drain output that remains low while either regulated output is outside ±8.5% of its target voltage. Once both outputs stabilize within tolerance, POR releases after 65,536 clock cycles (~44ms in Pulse Skip Mode), providing a reliable hardware reset signal for microcontrollers or FPGAs during system power-up.
