Product details
Overview
LTC3407EMSE#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual-channel, synchronous step-down DC/DC converter IC designed for low-power portable systems. It delivers up to 600mA per channel from a 2.5V–5.5V input, operates at a fixed 1.5MHz switching frequency, integrates 0.35Ω P-channel and 0.30Ω N-channel MOSFETs, and supports adjustable output voltages from 0.6V to 5V - used in digital cameras and cellular handsets for compact, high-efficiency dual-rail power conversion.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3407EMSE#PBF datasheet, LTC3407EMSE#PBF pinout, LTC3407EMSE#PBF application, or LTC3407EMSE#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-output burst-mode efficiency optimization, 40μA quiescent current in active mode, 100% duty-cycle dropout operation, externally synchronizable oscillator, and MSOP-10 thermal performance with exposed pad grounding.
Technical Context
The LTC3407EMSE#PBF employs a constant-frequency current-mode control architecture with shared 1.5MHz clocking across both channels and in-phase switching. Its dual independent feedback loops use 0.6V reference comparators to regulate each output via external resistor dividers, while overvoltage/undervoltage detection feeds a common open-drain POR output.
Mode selection via MODE/SYNC pin enables either Burst Mode® (for >95% light-load efficiency at higher ripple) or pulse-skipping mode (for <10mVpp ripple at expense of efficiency). In dropout, the P-channel top switch remains fully on with 100% duty cycle, and shutdown draws <1μA total supply current.
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 system rails without pre-regulation. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.5MHz (typ) - enables use of 2.2μH inductors <2mm height and 10μF ceramic capacitors for ultra-compact layouts. |
| Output Current per Channel | 600mA continuous - sufficient for core logic, memory, and I/O rails in handheld devices. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 0.6V ±1.2% (–40°C to 85°C) - sets output accuracy and enables precise 1.2V, 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V generation with standard resistor ratios. |
| Quiescent Current | 40μA (both channels active) - extends battery runtime in always-on subsystems like real-time clocks or sensor interfaces. |
| Shutdown Current | <1μA - meets stringent energy-harvesting and long-term storage requirements. |
| Power-On Reset Threshold | ±8.5% output regulation window - provides reliable system initialization timing with 175ms delay after regulation achieved. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-lead plastic MSOP (3mm × 3mm) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 11 = PGND), rated for –40°C to +85°C ambient operation and θJA = 45°C/W.
| 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 setting accuracy and loop stability. |
| RUN1 (Pin 2) | Channel 1 enable control | High = enable, low = shutdown; must be actively driven - allows independent sequencing or power gating of first output rail. |
| VIN (Pin 3) | Main input power supply | Supplies both channels; requires local 10μF ceramic decoupling - low-impedance path critical for EMI suppression and transient response. |
| SW1 (Pin 4) | Channel 1 switch node | Connects to inductor and catch diode replacement path; swings between VIN and GND - PCB layout must minimize loop area to reduce radiated noise. |
| GND (Pin 5) | Analog ground reference | Not internally connected; ties to system ground plane - separates analog sensing from power return paths to avoid noise coupling into feedback. |
| MODE/SYNC (Pin 6) | Mode selection & sync input | Ground = pulse-skipping (low ripple); VIN = Burst Mode® (high efficiency); also accepts external 1.5MHz clock - enables system-level timing coordination and noise-sensitive design tradeoffs. |
| SW2 (Pin 7) | Channel 2 switch node | Identical function to SW1 but for second regulator - requires symmetrical layout with SW1 to prevent cross-talk and ensure matched transient response. |
| POR (Pin 8) | Power-on reset open-drain output | Pulled low if either VOUT deviates >±8.5%; releases after ~175ms - drives microcontroller reset or FPGA configuration enable with built-in timing. |
| RUN2 (Pin 9) | Channel 2 enable control | Independent enable for second channel - supports staggered startup, fault isolation, or dynamic rail disable during low-power states. |
| VFB2 (Pin 10) | Channel 2 feedback input | Same role as VFB1 for second output - enables dual independent voltage rails (e.g., 1.8V core + 2.5V I/O) from single IC. |
| Exposed Pad (Pin 11) | Power ground (PGND) | Mandatory solder connection to PCB ground plane - primary thermal path and low-impedance return for high-frequency switch currents. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual synchronous buck topology | Eliminates external Schottky diodes; achieves up to 96% peak efficiency with integrated 0.35Ω/0.30Ω MOSFETs - reduces BOM count and board area by ~30% vs discrete solutions. |
| Burst Mode® operation | Maintains >85% efficiency at 1mA load per channel - extends battery life in standby modes without compromising regulation accuracy. |
| 100% duty-cycle dropout | Supports VOUT ≥ VIN − (ILOAD × RDS(ON)) down to ~2.3V input - enables seamless transition during battery voltage sag in portable equipment. |
| Externally synchronizable oscillator | Accepts 1.5MHz external clock on MODE/SYNC pin - eliminates beat frequencies in multi-converter systems and simplifies EMI filtering. |
| Integrated power-on reset | Single open-drain POR output asserts low until both outputs stabilize within ±8.5% for ≥175ms - replaces discrete supervisor IC in space-constrained designs. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current per channel for the LTC3407EMSE#PBF?
The LTC3407EMSE#PBF delivers up to 600mA continuously per channel under typical conditions (VIN = 3.6V, TA = 25°C, with proper thermal layout). Peak switch current limit is specified at 1A minimum, but sustained output is limited by thermal dissipation in the MSOP-10 package - derating is required above 85°C ambient or with poor PCB copper area.
Does the LTC3407EMSE#PBF require external Schottky diodes?
No, the LTC3407EMSE#PBF does not require external Schottky diodes. It integrates synchronous P-channel and N-channel MOSFETs with RDS(ON) of 0.35Ω and 0.30Ω respectively, enabling high-efficiency operation without body-diode conduction losses - a key advantage over nonsynchronous buck regulators.
How does the MODE/SYNC pin affect LTC3407EMSE#PBF operation?
The MODE/SYNC pin on the LTC3407EMSE#PBF selects between Burst Mode® (pin tied to VIN) for highest light-load efficiency or pulse-skipping mode (pin grounded) for lowest output ripple. When driven by an external 1.5MHz clock, it forces pulse-skipping mode and synchronizes switching edges - critical for noise-sensitive mixed-signal systems.
What is the purpose of the exposed pad on the LTC3407EMSE#PBF MSOP package?
The exposed pad (Pin 11) on the LTC3407EMSE#PBF is designated PGND and must be soldered to a solid PCB ground plane. It serves as the primary thermal conduction path (θJA = 45°C/W) and low-impedance return for high-frequency switch currents - omitting this connection degrades thermal performance and may cause instability or premature failure.
Can the LTC3407EMSE#PBF operate with input voltage below 2.5V?
No, the LTC3407EMSE#PBF has a guaranteed operating input range of 2.5V to 5.5V. Below 2.5V, undervoltage lockout disables operation to prevent unstable regulation. The absolute maximum rating allows –0.3V to 6V, but functional operation is not assured outside the specified 2.5V–5.5V range - use only within datasheet limits for reliable LTC3407EMSE#PBF performance.
