Product details
Overview
LTC3417AIFE-1#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator with 1.5A and 1A output capability, operating at up to 4MHz switching frequency. It delivers adjustable output voltages from 0.8V to 5V per channel, features integrated low-RDS(ON) P- and N-channel MOSFETs, and includes Power-On-Reset (POR), phase control, and programmable light-load modes. It is designed for space-constrained medium-power point-of-load applications such as automotive instrumentation and GPS systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3417AIFE-1#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3417AIFE-1#TRPBF pinout, LTC3417AIFE-1#TRPBF application, or LTC3417AIFE-1#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-channel current-mode architecture, 2.25V–5.5V input range, 100μA quiescent current in dropout, 180° out-of-phase operation capability, and TSSOP-20 package with exposed thermal pad.
Technical Context
The LTC3417AIFE-1#TRPBF employs a constant-frequency current-mode control architecture shared across both channels, with independent RUN pins enabling individual channel enable/disable. Its FREQ pin supports fixed 1.5MHz operation or resistor-programmable frequency from 0.6MHz to 4MHz, while the SYNC/MODE pin selects Burst Mode (high efficiency), pulse-skip mode (low ripple), or forced continuous mode (fixed-frequency noise).
Phase relationship between channels is controlled via the PHASE pin-logic high enables in-phase switching; logic low enables 180° out-of-phase operation, reducing RMS input current and input capacitor stress. The POR pin provides open-drain reset assertion when either output falls ≥8% below regulation, with 150ms de-assertion delay after recovery.
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 guaranteed minimum - enables driving moderate-power digital cores and I/O rails simultaneously |
| Switching Frequency | Programmable 0.6MHz–4MHz - allows optimization of inductor size vs. efficiency; 4MHz enables <2mm-height magnetics |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 0.8V ±2% - sets precise output regulation point; enables 0.8V–5V adjustment using standard resistor dividers |
| Quiescent Current (Active) | 400–600μA - minimizes standby power loss in battery-backed systems |
| Shutdown Current | <1μA - ensures negligible battery drain during system sleep or off-states |
| Peak Switch RDS(ON) (CH1) | 0.088Ω (top), 0.084Ω (bottom) at 3.6V - reduces conduction loss and thermal rise under full load |
| Power-On-Reset Threshold | –6% to –8% VFB deviation - provides reliable fault detection with hysteresis for stable system boot sequencing |
Pinout & Package
The LTC3417AIFE-1#TRPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 20-lead plastic TSSOP package (FE) with an exposed pad (Pin 21) soldered to PCB ground for optimal thermal performance (θJA = 38°C/W). Pin count and layout match the LTC3417A-1 family specification.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RUN1 (Pin 2) | Enable control for 1.5A channel | Logic-high (>0.85V) activates CH1; 0V disables CH1 and places it in sleep mode |
| VIN1 (Pin 3) | Input supply for CH1 P-MOSFET | Connects directly to input source; must be decoupled locally with low-ESR ceramic capacitor |
| ITH1 (Pin 4) | Error amplifier compensation node for CH1 | Controls peak inductor current limit; external RC network sets loop stability and transient response |
| VFB1 (Pin 5) | Feedback input for CH1 output voltage | Monitors resistive divider output; internal 0.8V reference enables precise output setting |
| VFB2 (Pin 6) | Feedback input for CH2 output voltage | Independent regulation path for second output; same 0.8V reference as VFB1 |
| ITH2 (Pin 7) | Error amplifier compensation node for CH2 | Separate compensation for CH2 allows independent loop tuning per output |
| RUN2 (Pin 8) | Enable control for 1A channel | Enables/disables CH2 independently; both RUN pins low = full shutdown (<1μA IQ) |
| VIN2 (Pin 9) | Input supply for CH2 P-MOSFET and analog core | Shared input for CH2 switch and internal bias circuitry; requires local decoupling |
| SYNC/MODE (Pin 12) | Mode selection & external clock sync | Voltage level selects Burst/Pulse-Skip/Forced Continuous; also accepts external clock for synchronization |
| SW2 (Pin 13) | Switch node for CH2 | Connects to CH2 inductor; swings between VIN2 and PGND2; requires tight layout to minimize EMI |
| POR (Pin 14) | Open-drain Power-On-Reset output | Pulled low if either VOUT drops ≥8%; releases ~150ms after both outputs recover to within –6% |
| FREQ (Pin 15) | Oscillator frequency control | Tied to VIN → 1.5MHz; resistor to GND → 0.6–4MHz; sets timing ramp current for internal oscillator |
| GNDA (Pin 16) | Analog ground reference | Return for internal analog circuits; must be connected to clean ground plane, separate from power grounds |
| PHASE (Pin 17) | Channel phase relationship control | High = CH1 & CH2 in-phase; low = 180° out-of-phase; reduces input ripple and capacitor stress |
| SW1 (Pin 18) | Switch node for CH1 | Connects to CH1 inductor; swings between VIN1 and PGND1; critical for layout and thermal management |
| PGND1 (Pin 19) | Power ground for CH1 N-MOSFET driver | Low-impedance return path for CH1 switch current; must tie to exposed pad and main ground plane |
| PGND2/GNDD (Pins 1,10,11,20) | Power/digital ground for CH2 and logic | Multiple pins reduce ground impedance; all must connect to exposed pad and system ground |
| Exposed Pad (Pin 21) | Thermal & electrical ground | Must be soldered to large PCB copper area for thermal dissipation and low-noise grounding |

FAQ
What is the maximum supported switching frequency for the LTC3417AIFE-1#TRPBF?
The LTC3417AIFE-1#TRPBF supports a maximum switching frequency of 4MHz when configured with an external resistor on the FREQ pin. At this frequency, the device enables use of miniature inductors ≤2mm in height and low-profile ceramic capacitors, making it ideal for space-constrained applications. Operation above 4MHz is not specified or guaranteed.
Does the LTC3417AIFE-1#TRPBF require external Schottky diodes?
No, the LTC3417AIFE-1#TRPBF does not require external Schottky diodes. It integrates low-RDS(ON) P-channel and N-channel MOSFETs for both synchronous rectification paths, eliminating conduction losses and thermal overhead associated with external diodes. This integration reduces component count, improves efficiency, and enhances reliability in the LTC3417AIFE-1#TRPBF design.
How does the POR function behave when only one channel is enabled on the LTC3417AIFE-1#TRPBF?
When only one channel is enabled (e.g., RUN1 = high, RUN2 = low), the POR pin monitors only the active channel's output. If that output falls ≥8% below regulation, POR asserts low. Once the active output recovers to within –6% of target, POR de-asserts after ~150ms. The disabled channel's undervoltage condition does not trigger POR in this configuration - ensuring accurate reset signaling in partial-power states for the LTC3417AIFE-1#TRPBF.
What is the purpose of the PHASE pin on the LTC3417AIFE-1#TRPBF?
The PHASE pin on the LTC3417AIFE-1#TRPBF selects the relative switching timing between the two channels: logic high configures in-phase operation; logic low configures 180° out-of-phase switching. Out-of-phase operation reduces RMS input current and input capacitor ripple, lowering stress on the input bulk capacitor and improving overall system efficiency - a key advantage in shared-input applications for the LTC3417AIFE-1#TRPBF.
Can the LTC3417AIFE-1#TRPBF operate with input voltage below 2.25V?
No, the LTC3417AIFE-1#TRPBF has a specified minimum input voltage of 2.25V. Below this threshold, the undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit disables operation to prevent unstable regulation or erratic behavior. The UVLO turn-on threshold is guaranteed at 2.07V (ramping up), but full functional specification - including output accuracy, current capability, and efficiency - begins only at 2.25V, as defined in the datasheet for the LTC3417AIFE-1#TRPBF.
