Product details
Overview
LTC3407EMSE-2#PBF from Analog Devices is a dual synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator delivering up to 800mA per channel from 2.5V–5.5V input, operating at a fixed 2.25MHz switching frequency with internal 0.35Ω P-channel and 0.30Ω N-channel MOSFETs. It supports adjustable output voltages from 0.6V to 5V and enables low-noise or high-efficiency operation via MODE/SYNC pin selection-used in portable media players, digital cameras, and cellular phone power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3407EMSE-2#PBF datasheet, LTC3407EMSE-2#PBF pinout, LTC3407EMSE-2#PBF application, or LTC3407EMSE-2#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-channel 800mA capability, 2.25MHz constant-frequency operation, Burst Mode® vs pulse-skipping mode trade-offs, 40µA quiescent current, and MSOP-10 package compatibility with thermal pad grounding requirements.
Technical Context
The LTC3407EMSE-2#PBF employs a current-mode control architecture with shared 2.25MHz oscillator across both channels, enabling in-phase switching and precise load transient response. Each channel integrates matched P-channel (0.35Ω) and N-channel (0.30Ω) synchronous switches, eliminating external Schottky diodes while supporting 100% duty-cycle dropout operation.
Its dual-mode operation-Burst Mode® for ≤95% efficiency at light loads and pulse-skipping for low-noise regulation-is selected via MODE/SYNC pin voltage thresholds (0–0.5V for pulse-skipping, VIN–0.5V to VIN for Burst Mode). The device includes independent RUN1/RUN2 enables, VFB1/VFB2 feedback inputs referenced to 0.6V ±1.2%, and open-drain POR output with ±8.5% detection window and 117ms delay.
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 external LDO pre-regulation. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.25MHz (±25%) - enables use of 2.2µH inductors and 10µF ceramic capacitors with ≤1.2mm profile. |
| Output Current per Channel | 800mA continuous - sufficient for core logic, memory, and I/O rails in portable devices. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 0.6V ±2% over –40°C to 85°C - sets output via resistor divider; enables 0.6V–5V adjustment with <0.5% line/load regulation error. |
| Quiescent Current | 40µA total (both channels active) - extends battery runtime in always-on subsystems like camera sensors or Bluetooth radios. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - meets ultra-low-power system sleep requirements when both regulators are disabled. |
| Peak Switch Current Limit | 1.2A typical - provides robust short-circuit protection while allowing margin above 800mA rated output. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-Lead Plastic MSOP with exposed thermal pad (Pin 11 = PGND), 3mm × 3mm footprint, θJA = 45°C/W. Requires solder connection 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 resistor divider output; regulates VOUT1 to 0.6V reference - determines output voltage via R2/R1 ratio. |
| RUN1 (Pin 2) | Channel 1 Enable Control | High = enable (pull to VIN); low = shutdown (pull to GND); must not float - controls startup sequencing and power gating. |
| VIN (Pin 3) | Main Power Input | Supplies both channels; requires local 10µF ceramic decoupling close to pin to suppress high-frequency switching noise. |
| SW1 (Pin 4) | Channel 1 Switch Node | Connects to inductor L1; swings between VIN and GND - carries high di/dt; must be routed with minimal loop area to reduce EMI. |
| GND (Pin 5) | Analog Ground Reference | Separate from PGND; connects to feedback resistors and error amplifier ground - maintains signal integrity for VFB sensing. |
| MODE/SYNC (Pin 6) | Mode Selection & Sync Input | Ground = pulse-skipping (low ripple); VIN = Burst Mode® (high efficiency); external clock = forced pulse-skipping sync. |
| SW2 (Pin 7) | Channel 2 Switch Node | Identical function to SW1 but for second channel - requires independent inductor and layout isolation to prevent crosstalk. |
| POR (Pin 8) | Power-On Reset Output | Open-drain; pulls low if either VOUT deviates >±8.5% or RUN pins are inactive - used for system reset assertion and sequencing. |
| RUN2 (Pin 9) | Channel 2 Enable Control | Independent enable for second regulator - allows staggered startup or selective channel disable for dynamic power management. |
| VFB2 (Pin 10) | Channel 2 Feedback Input | Same function as VFB1 for VOUT2 - enables independent voltage setting for dual-rail applications (e.g., 1.8V + 2.5V). |
| PGND (Pin 11) | Power Ground Thermal Pad | Exposed pad; must be soldered to large PCB ground plane - critical for thermal dissipation (θJC = 10°C/W) and switch return path. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62125DSGR | Single-channel 1.2A buck; 2.5V–6V input; 3MHz switching; no integrated POR or MODE pin. | Requires two ICs for dual-rail; lacks power-on reset and dual-mode selection - increases BOM and layout complexity. | Select only if higher per-channel current (1.2A) is required and POR is implemented externally. |
| RT8059GQW | Dual-channel 600mA buck; 2.5V–5.5V input; 1.5MHz switching; no Burst Mode®, only PWM-only operation. | Lower max output current per channel; fixed PWM limits light-load efficiency to ~75% - unsuitable for long battery life. | Choose only if cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency and ripple requirements, and 600mA/channel suffices. |
Compared with TPS62125DSGR and RT8059GQW, the LTC3407EMSE-2#PBF uniquely combines dual 800mA channels, 2.25MHz operation, Burst Mode®/pulse-skipping selection, and integrated POR in a single MSOP-10 package - delivering superior integration, efficiency flexibility, and system-level functionality for portable battery-powered designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current per channel for the LTC3407EMSE-2#PBF?
The LTC3407EMSE-2#PBF delivers up to 800mA continuous output current per channel under typical thermal conditions (TA ≤ 85°C, proper PCB copper pour on PGND pad). Peak switch current is rated at 1.2A, providing margin for transient loads. Derating is required above 85°C ambient or with insufficient thermal copper.
How does the MODE/SYNC pin affect LTC3407EMSE-2#PBF operation?
The MODE/SYNC pin selects between Burst Mode® (pin tied to VIN) for highest light-load efficiency or pulse-skipping mode (pin tied to GND) for lowest output voltage ripple. When driven by an external 2.25MHz clock, the LTC3407EMSE-2#PBF synchronizes and defaults to pulse-skipping mode - ensuring deterministic timing and reduced EMI in multi-regulator systems.
Can LTC3407EMSE-2#PBF operate with input voltage below 2.5V?
No - the absolute minimum input voltage for LTC3407EMSE-2#PBF is 2.5V as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. Operation below this threshold risks undervoltage lockout activation or unstable regulation. For sub-2.5V inputs, consider the LTC3522 or LTC3536 families.
What is the purpose of the exposed pad (Pin 11) on the LTC3407EMSE-2#PBF MSOP package?
The exposed pad (Pin 11) is PGND - a dedicated power ground connection that must be soldered to a large PCB ground plane. It serves dual roles: thermal conduction (θJC = 10°C/W) and low-impedance return path for high-current switch nodes (SW1/SW2), directly impacting efficiency, thermal performance, and EMI behavior.
Does LTC3407EMSE-2#PBF support output voltages lower than 0.6V?
No - the internal reference voltage is fixed at 0.6V, and the datasheet specifies a minimum output voltage of 0.6V. The feedback network is designed to scale higher outputs (up to 5V); attempting sub-0.6V operation violates the error amplifier's common-mode input range and results in loss of regulation. For sub-0.6V outputs, use a different regulator such as the LTC3620.
