Product details
Overview
LTC3417AEDHC-2#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual-channel synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator with 1.5A and 1A output capability, operating at up to 4MHz switching frequency across a 2.25V–5.5V input range. It features independent RUN pins, programmable frequency via FREQ pin (0.6–4MHz), 0.8V feedback reference, and phase-selectable out-of-phase operation to reduce input RMS current. Used in GPS navigation systems and automotive instrumentation for compact, high-efficiency point-of-load regulation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3417AEDHC-2#PBF datasheet, LTC3417AEDHC-2#PBF pinout, LTC3417AEDHC-2#PBF application, or LTC3417AEDHC-2#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 1.5A/1A output current, 100μA quiescent current in dropout, Burst Mode™ efficiency down to 100mA loads, and DFN-16 (3mm × 5mm) thermal performance with exposed PGND2 pad.
Technical Context
The LTC3417AEDHC-2#PBF employs constant-frequency current-mode control with shared oscillator and independent error amplifiers per channel. Its dual P-channel/N-channel synchronous MOSFETs achieve RDS(ON) of 88mΩ/84mΩ (CH1) and 160mΩ/150mΩ (CH2) at 3.6V, enabling >95% peak efficiency. The PHASE pin selects in-phase or 180° out-of-phase switching to minimize VIN ripple.
Three light-load modes-Burst Mode™ (low IQ = 125μA), Pulse Skip (low ripple <35mVP-P), and Forced Continuous-are selected via SYNC/MODE pin voltage thresholds. Internal soft-start, power-good monitoring (±6% VFB tolerance), and undervoltage lockout (2.07V rising) support robust system-level power sequencing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.25V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, USB, and 3.3V/5V rail inputs without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current (CH1/CH2) | 1.5A / 1A minimum - guarantees full load capability under worst-case thermal conditions in DFN package. |
| Switching Frequency | 0.6MHz to 4MHz - adjustable via external resistor on FREQ pin; enables optimization of size vs. efficiency. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.8V ±2% - allows precise output setting from 0.8V to 5V using standard resistor dividers. |
| Quiescent Current | 100μA total (both channels in dropout) - extends battery runtime in always-on subsystems. |
| Shutdown Current | <1μA - meets ultra-low-power system standby requirements. |
| Efficiency (Peak) | Up to 95% - achieved with internal low-RDS(ON) switches; eliminates need for external Schottky diodes. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead (3mm × 5mm) plastic DFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 17 = PGND2/GNDD), rated for –40°C to +85°C ambient operation (LTC3417AE grade).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PGND1 (Pin 16) | Power ground for CH1 N-channel driver | Must be connected to low-impedance PCB ground plane; separates CH1 return path from analog/digital grounds. |
| SW1 (Pin 15) | CH1 switch node | Connects to CH1 inductor; swings between VIN1 and PGND1; requires tight layout to minimize EMI. |
| PHASE (Pin 14) | Channel phase relationship control | Logic-high = in-phase; logic-low = 180° out-of-phase; reduces input capacitor RMS stress when set to low. |
| GNDA (Pin 13) | Analog ground reference | Reference for internal error amplifiers and comparators; must tie to clean analog ground, not power ground. |
| FREQ (Pin 12) | Oscillator frequency programming | Connect to VIN for 1.5MHz; connect RT resistor to GND for 0.6–4MHz tuning - sets timing ramp current. |
| PGOOD (Pin 11) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Pulls low if either VOUT deviates >6% from target; shared signal simplifies system monitoring logic. |
| SW2 (Pin 10) | CH2 switch node | Connects to CH2 inductor; swings between VIN2 and PGND2; shares exposed pad thermal path. |
| SYNC/MODE (Pin 9) | Mode selection & external clock sync | Voltage threshold selects Burst Mode™ (VIN–0.5V), Pulse Skip (0.5V), or Forced Continuous (VIN/2). |
| RUN1 (Pin 1) | CH1 enable control | Logic-high enables CH1; both RUN1/RUN2 low places device in shutdown (<1μA IQ). |

FAQ
What is the maximum supported switching frequency for LTC3417AEDHC-2#PBF?
The LTC3417AEDHC-2#PBF supports a maximum switching frequency of 4MHz when configured with an appropriate resistor on the FREQ pin. At this frequency, the device maintains stable current-mode operation and enables use of ultra-low-profile inductors (≤2mm height) and small ceramic capacitors, ideal for thin-profile GPS modules and automotive clusters.
How does the PHASE pin affect input capacitor stress in LTC3417AEDHC-2#PBF?
When the PHASE pin of LTC3417AEDHC-2#PBF is pulled low, CH2 operates 180° out-of-phase with CH1, reducing input RMS current by up to 30% compared to in-phase operation. This directly lowers thermal stress and ripple voltage on the input capacitor, allowing smaller capacitance values and extended capacitor lifetime in high-reliability automotive applications.
Can LTC3417AEDHC-2#PBF operate with only one channel enabled?
Yes - LTC3417AEDHC-2#PBF supports independent channel control via RUN1 and RUN2 pins. Driving RUN2 low while keeping RUN1 high enables only the 1.5A channel, reducing total quiescent current to 260–400μA (half-active mode). This capability is used in adaptive power systems like instrument clusters that dynamically disable unused rails.
What is the feedback voltage accuracy of LTC3417AEDHC-2#PBF over temperature?
The LTC3417AEDHC-2#PBF specifies a feedback reference voltage of 0.8V with ±2% tolerance (0.784V to 0.816V) over the full –40°C to +85°C operating range. This tight tolerance ensures stable output regulation across automotive temperature extremes without requiring post-production calibration.
Does LTC3417AEDHC-2#PBF require external compensation components?
Yes - LTC3417AEDHC-2#PBF uses type-II compensation networks connected to ITH1 and ITH2 pins. Each channel requires an RC network (e.g., 100kΩ + 1nF) to stabilize the current-mode loop. The datasheet provides design equations and typical values based on inductor and output capacitor selection to ensure phase margin >45° across load and line variations.
