Product details
Overview
LTC3417AIFE#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator IC with 1.5A/1A output capability, operating from 2.25V to 5.5V input and delivering adjustable outputs from 0.8V to 5V per channel. It features programmable switching frequency up to 4MHz, internal low-RDS(ON) MOSFETs, Burst Mode® operation for high light-load efficiency (up to 95%), and phase-selectable dual-channel operation for reduced input RMS current - used in compact point-of-load power supplies for digital cameras and wireless modems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3417AIFE#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3417AIFE#TRPBF pinout, LTC3417AIFE#TRPBF application, or LTC3417AIFE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-channel current-mode control architecture, 125µA sleep-mode quiescent current, 180° out-of-phase operation capability via PHASE pin, and support for external clock synchronization on SYNC/MODE pin - all critical for battery-powered, space-constrained, multi-rail systems requiring low-noise or high-efficiency operation.
Technical Context
The LTC3417AIFE#TRPBF implements a constant-frequency, current-mode control architecture shared across both channels, with independent error amplifiers (ITH1/ITH2), peak current limiting (2.5A/1.7A typ), and programmable oscillator frequency (0.6–4MHz via FREQ pin resistor). Its dual-regulator design supports synchronized or 180° out-of-phase switching to minimize input capacitor RMS current.
Mode selection is unified via the SYNC/MODE pin: >VIN–0.5V enables Burst Mode® (high efficiency, ~125µA IQ), <0.5V enables Pulse Skip mode (low ripple), and VIN/2 enables Forced Continuous mode (fixed-frequency noise). The device includes undervoltage lockout (2.25V min), power-good monitoring (±6% VFB threshold), and 100% duty-cycle dropout operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.25V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, USB, and logic-supply rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current (Ch1/Ch2) | 1.5A / 1A guaranteed minimum - enables simultaneous powering of core logic and I/O rails. |
| Switching Frequency | Programmable 0.6MHz–4MHz - allows optimization of inductor size (≤2mm height) vs. efficiency. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 0.800V ±2% - sets output voltage via external resistor divider; enables precise 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V rails. |
| Quiescent Current (Sleep) | 125µA typ - extends battery life in standby; drops to <1µA in shutdown. |
| RDS(ON) (Top/Bottom, Ch1) | 88mΩ / 84mΩ at 3.6V - reduces conduction loss; eliminates need for external Schottky diodes. |
| Power Good Accuracy | ±6% of VFB - provides reliable system-level rail monitoring for sequencing or fault detection. |
Pinout & Package
The LTC3417AIFE#TRPBF is packaged in a 20-lead plastic TSSOP (FE package) with exposed pad (Pin 21 = PGND2/GNDD), thermally enhanced for industrial ambient range (–40°C to +85°C). Pin count and layout match LTC3417AEFE#TRPBF; exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RUN1 (Pin 2) | Enable control for 1.5A channel | Logic-high (>0.85V) activates Channel 1; 0V disables it and contributes to full shutdown when paired with RUN2. |
| VIN1 (Pin 3) | Input supply for Ch1 P-MOSFET | Connects to main input rail; separate from VIN2 to allow independent input sourcing if needed. |
| ITH1 (Pin 4) | Error amplifier output for Ch1 | Controls peak inductor current; compensation network connects here to stabilize loop response. |
| VFB1 (Pin 5) | Feedback input for Ch1 | Monitors divided output voltage; 0.8V reference enables accurate regulation of VOUT1. |
| VFB2 (Pin 6) | Feedback input for Ch2 | Independent feedback path for second output; supports different VOUT2 settings than VOUT1. |
| RUN2 (Pin 8) | Enable control for 1A channel | Enables/disables Channel 2 independently; both RUN pins low places device in <1µA shutdown. |
| SYNC/MODE (Pin 12) | Mode selection & clock sync | Selects Burst/Pulse Skip/Forced Continuous mode; also accepts external clock for synchronization. |
| FREQ (Pin 15) | Oscillator frequency set | Connect to VIN for 1.5MHz; connect resistor to GND for 0.6–4MHz tuning - critical for EMI and component sizing. |
| PHASE (Pin 17) | Channel phase relationship | High = in-phase switching; low = 180° out-of-phase - reduces input capacitor RMS current by up to 30%. |
| PGOOD (Pin 14) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Pulled low if either VOUT1 or VOUT2 deviates >6% from target - used for system enable/disable sequencing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent current-mode regulators | Enables stable, fast transient response on both outputs without cross-coupling; supports differing load dynamics. |
| 180° out-of-phase switching capability | Reduces input capacitor RMS current by ~25–30%, allowing smaller, lower-rated input bulk capacitors. |
| Burst Mode® operation | Achieves >90% efficiency at 1mA load with only 125µA quiescent current - ideal for always-on subsystems. |
| Internal low-RDS(ON) MOSFETs (Ch1: 84–88mΩ) | Eliminates external Schottky diodes and associated board area, BOM cost, and thermal management overhead. |
| Individual RUN pin control with soft-start | Allows staggered power-up of rails; built-in 1024-cycle digital soft-start prevents inrush current and output overshoot. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS65270RGET | Fixed 1.2V/3.3V outputs; no programmable frequency; higher IQ (250µA sleep) | Predefined dual-rail solution for fixed-voltage systems; lacks VFB-based adjustability | Choose when standard 1.2V/3.3V rails suffice and board space is less constrained. |
| ISL95210IRZ | Supports up to 3A/3A; requires external MOSFETs; no integrated PHASE control | Higher-current, discrete-FET solution for demanding loads; lacks integrated phase management | Choose for >1.5A per rail or when thermal design requires external FET placement. |

FAQ
What is the maximum switching frequency supported by the LTC3417AIFE#TRPBF?
The LTC3417AIFE#TRPBF supports a maximum switching frequency of 4MHz when configured with an appropriate resistor from the FREQ pin to ground. At this frequency, the device enables use of ultra-compact inductors ≤2mm in height and small ceramic capacitors, ideal for thin-profile portable electronics. Operation above 4MHz is not specified or guaranteed.
Does the LTC3417AIFE#TRPBF require external Schottky diodes?
No, the LTC3417AIFE#TRPBF does not require external Schottky diodes. It integrates synchronous P-channel and N-channel MOSFETs for both channels, with typical RDS(ON) values of 88mΩ/84mΩ (Ch1) and 160mΩ/150mΩ (Ch2) at 3.6V. This synchronous rectification eliminates conduction losses and thermal overhead associated with external diodes.
How does the PHASE pin affect input capacitor sizing in the LTC3417AIFE#TRPBF?
The PHASE pin on the LTC3417AIFE#TRPBF selects whether the two channels switch in-phase or 180° out-of-phase. When set low (0V), out-of-phase operation reduces input RMS current by up to ~30% compared to in-phase mode - directly enabling smaller input bulk capacitors and relaxed ESR/ripple current ratings in the design.
Can the LTC3417AIFE#TRPBF operate with only one channel enabled?
Yes, the LTC3417AIFE#TRPBF supports independent channel operation. Pulling RUN1 high and RUN2 low enables only the 1.5A channel, drawing just 260–400µA supply current (half-active mode). Similarly, RUN2 high with RUN1 low enables only the 1A channel. Both RUN pins low places the entire device in <1µA shutdown.
What is the feedback reference voltage accuracy for the LTC3417AIFE#TRPBF?
The LTC3417AIFE#TRPBF has a feedback reference voltage of 0.800V with ±2% initial accuracy (0.784V to 0.816V) over temperature. This tight tolerance ensures precise output voltage regulation - for example, a 1.8V output set by a resistor divider will maintain ±36mV accuracy under nominal conditions, critical for sensitive digital loads.
