Product details
Overview
LTC3607EMSE#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual-channel monolithic synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator delivering 600mA per channel from 4.5V to 15V input, with 2.25MHz fixed switching frequency, 55µA quiescent current, and ±1.5% output voltage accuracy-used in dual Li-ion battery-powered instrumentation requiring compact, high-efficiency dual-rail power.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3607EMSE#PBF datasheet, LTC3607EMSE#PBF pinout, LTC3607EMSE#PBF application, or LTC3607EMSE#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include independent soft-start, Burst Mode™ vs pulse-skipping mode selection via MODE/SYNC pin, PGOOD outputs with ±8.5% regulation window, and thermal performance in the 16-lead MSOP package with exposed PGND pad.
Technical Context
The LTC3607EMSE#PBF implements peak current-mode control with two independent 2.25MHz synchronous buck regulators sharing a common clock and operating in-phase. Each channel features internal compensation, 0.6V reference, and programmable light-load behavior via the MODE/SYNC pin-Burst Mode™ for ultra-low IQ or pulse-skipping for minimal ripple.
It supports independent enable (RUN1/RUN2), separate feedback (VFB1/VFB2), and dedicated power-good outputs (PGOOD1/PGOOD2) with 64-cycle blanking. Input supplies are split across PVIN1/PVIN2/SVIN, enabling flexible sourcing from asymmetric rails or diode-OR configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 15V - supports dual Li-ion (8.4V max) and 12V industrial rails without external pre-regulation. |
| Output Current per Channel | 600mA - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and analog front-ends in portable systems. |
| Switching Frequency | 2.25MHz (±25%) - enables use of 1mm-height inductors and small ceramic capacitors for space-constrained layouts. |
| Quiescent Current | 55µA total - extends battery runtime in always-on monitoring applications with both channels active at light load. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 0.6V ±1.5% - allows precise low-voltage outputs (e.g., 1.2V, 1.8V, 3.3V, 5V) using standard resistor ratios. |
| Power Good Threshold | ±8.5% window - provides reliable rail sequencing and fault detection without external comparators. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - ensures negligible battery drain during system sleep or storage modes. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead plastic MSOP (3mm × 4.9mm) with exposed PGND pad (Pin 17), rated θJA = 37°C/W, suitable for moderate-power density PCBs without thermal vias.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| MODE/SYNC (Pin 15) | Mode selection & sync input | Floating or ≥1V enables Burst Mode™; grounded selects pulse-skipping; external 1–4MHz clock synchronizes switching. |
| PGOOD1 (Pin 16) | Channel 1 power-good output | Open-drain signal pulled low if VOUT1 deviates >±8.5%; releases after 64 cycles once regulated. |
| SVIN (Pin 1) | Supply voltage monitor input | Tracks highest of PVIN1/PVIN2; enables UVLO (3.4V–4.3V) and powers internal LDOs and bias circuitry. |
| PGND1 (Pin 2) | Channel 1 power ground | Return path for SW1 current and COUT1; must connect to local high-current ground plane. |
| SW1 (Pin 3) | Channel 1 switch node | Connects to inductor; swings between PVIN1 and PGND1; requires tight layout to minimize EMI and ringing. |
| PVIN1 (Pin 4) | Channel 1 high-side supply | Primary input for Regulator 1; decoupled with 10µF ceramic capacitor near pin. |
| PVIN2 (Pin 5) | Channel 2 high-side supply | Independent input for Regulator 2; enables dual-input operation (e.g., backup battery or auxiliary rail). |
| SW2 (Pin 6) | Channel 2 switch node | Connects to second inductor; identical timing and drive as SW1 but electrically isolated. |
| PGND2 (Pin 7) | Channel 2 power ground | Return path for SW2 current and COUT2; kept separate from PGND1 until joined at single-point PGND. |
| SGND (Pin 8) | Signal ground | Analog reference for VFB1/VFB2, RUN1/RUN2, and MODE/SYNC; routed separately from PGND to avoid noise coupling. |
| PGOOD2 (Pin 9) | Channel 2 power-good output | Independent open-drain status flag with same timing and threshold as PGOOD1. |
| RUN1 (Pin 14) | Channel 1 enable input | Active-high (VIH ≥3.0V); internal 0.35ms soft-start prevents inrush; compatible with 3.3V logic. |
| VFB1 (Pin 13) | Channel 1 feedback input | Compares resistive divider output to 0.6V reference; sets VOUT1 = 0.6V × (1 + R1/R2). |
| VFB2 (Pin 12) | Channel 2 feedback input | Identical function to VFB1; enables independent output voltage programming (e.g., 3.3V + 1.8V). |
| RUN2 (Pin 11) | Channel 2 enable input | Matches RUN1 timing and logic thresholds; allows staggered or simultaneous channel startup. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent soft-start | 0.35ms internal ramp per channel prevents input voltage droop and output overshoot during power-up. |
| Burst Mode™ operation | Reduces total IQ to 55µA at light loads while maintaining regulation-critical for battery longevity in sensor nodes. |
| 100% duty cycle dropout | P-channel MOSFET remains fully on when VIN ≈ VOUT, sustaining output down to (VIN − RDS(ON)×ILOAD) without shutdown. |
| External frequency synchronization | Accepts 1–4MHz clock on MODE/SYNC pin to eliminate beat frequencies in multi-regulator systems. |
| Internal compensation | Eliminates need for external compensation network-reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS65270RGET | Higher 3A per channel, 2.2MHz, but 100µA IQ and no Burst Mode™; requires external compensation. | Targeted at higher-power applications like motor drivers; lacks ultra-low-IQ capability for battery-critical designs. | Select only when >1A/channel output or adjustable frequency (0.5–2.2MHz) is required; not drop-in due to different pinout and compensation. |
| MAX20004AATP+T | Automotive-grade AEC-Q100, 600mA/channel, 2.1MHz, 28µA IQ, but fixed 3.3V/5V outputs and no independent RUN/PGOOD. | Designed for infotainment head units with strict qualification; lacks programmability and flexibility for custom voltage rails. | Choose for automotive production where qualification and long-term supply are mandatory; not suitable for prototyping or non-automotive use. |

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the LTC3607EMSE#PBF?
The LTC3607EMSE#PBF has a maximum junction temperature (TJMAX) of 125°C, with thermal resistance θJA = 37°C/W in the MSOP package. Operation above this limit triggers overtemperature protection, and continuous operation beyond 125°C may impair reliability. The device is specified for –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range, with the E-grade validated from 0°C to 85°C and assured over full range by design and correlation.
Can the LTC3607EMSE#PBF operate with only one channel enabled?
Yes, the LTC3607EMSE#PBF supports independent channel control: RUN1 and RUN2 are separate inputs, allowing Channel 1 to remain active while Channel 2 is disabled (or vice versa). When only one channel operates, quiescent current drops to 35µA (typical), and the disabled channel draws <1µA in shutdown-enabling dynamic power partitioning in adaptive systems.
Does the LTC3607EMSE#PBF require external Schottky diodes?
No, the LTC3607EMSE#PBF integrates synchronous P-channel and N-channel MOSFETs for each channel, eliminating the need for external Schottky diodes. This improves efficiency-especially at light loads-and reduces component count, PCB area, and thermal complexity compared to asynchronous buck converters.
How does the MODE/SYNC pin affect light-load efficiency and output ripple in the LTC3607EMSE#PBF?
When the MODE/SYNC pin is floating or ≥1V, the LTC3607EMSE#PBF enters Burst Mode™, reducing quiescent current to 55µA and achieving up to 96% efficiency at light loads-but with typical 30mVP-P output ripple. When grounded, it switches to pulse-skipping mode, lowering ripple to <10mVP-P at the cost of ~5–10% lower light-load efficiency due to higher switching losses.
What is the purpose of the SVIN pin on the LTC3607EMSE#PBF?
The SVIN pin on the LTC3607EMSE#PBF serves as the master supply voltage monitor and bias source-it must be connected to the higher of PVIN1 or PVIN2 (via external diodes if uncertain) to ensure proper UVLO (3.4V–4.3V), internal LDO operation, and accurate reference generation. It does not supply output current but enables stable startup and protection across asymmetric input configurations.
