Product details
Overview
LTC3703EGN-5#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-voltage synchronous step-down DC/DC controller IC designed for telecom and automotive power supplies. It operates with input voltages up to 60V, delivers ±1% reference accuracy, supports programmable switching frequency from 100kHz to 600kHz, and drives dual N-channel MOSFETs without requiring a current sense resistor. It enables efficient 5V/5A conversion in base station power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3703EGN-5#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3703EGN-5#TRPBF pinout, LTC3703EGN-5#TRPBF application, or LTC3703EGN-5#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 60V VIN capability, voltage-mode control architecture, gate driver strength (1Ω pull-down), programmable current limit via IMAX pin, and compatibility with logic-level MOSFETs in narrow SSOP-16 packaging.
Technical Context
The LTC3703EGN-5#TRPBF implements a constant-frequency, voltage-mode control architecture with patented line feedforward compensation to achieve fast line transient response and input-voltage-independent loop gain. Its error amplifier features 25MHz unity-gain bandwidth and 85dB DC open-loop gain, enabling aggressive compensation for high-bandwidth regulation.
It integrates dual 1Ω gate drivers (TG and BG outputs), supports bootstrap-based high-side drive up to 85V (continuous), and uses the bottom MOSFET's RDS(ON) as a current-sense element-eliminating external sense resistors. The RUN/SS pin provides soft-start via internal 4µA current source and shutdown with 25µA quiescent current.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC3703EGN-5#TRPBF?
The LTC3703EGN-5#TRPBF supports continuous input voltages up to 60V, with absolute maximum ratings of 70V for 400ms transients. This makes it suitable for direct regulation from 48V telecom buses and automotive 60V load-dump conditions. Exceeding 60V continuously risks violating the specified operating range and may impact long-term reliability.
Does the LTC3703EGN-5#TRPBF require an external current sense resistor?
No, the LTC3703EGN-5#TRPBF does not require an external current sense resistor. It senses current by monitoring the voltage drop across the bottom N-channel MOSFET's RDS(ON) using the IMAX pin, which contains a 12µA internal current source. This eliminates power loss and PCB area associated with discrete sense resistors.
How is the switching frequency programmed on the LTC3703EGN-5#TRPBF?
The switching frequency of the LTC3703EGN-5#TRPBF is programmed using an external resistor (RSET) connected from the fSET pin (Pin 2) to ground. A 25kΩ resistor sets ~300kHz; values from 10.7kΩ to 64.9kΩ yield 600kHz to 100kHz respectively. Frequency can also be synchronized externally via the MODE/SYNC pin.
What package type and footprint does the LTC3703EGN-5#TRPBF use?
The LTC3703EGN-5#TRPBF uses a 16-lead narrow plastic SSOP (GN package), measuring 5.0mm × 6.2mm with 0.635mm lead pitch. It is JEDEC MO-153 compliant and shares footprint compatibility with other Linear/ADI GN-16 controllers like the LTC3780 and LTC3850.
Can the LTC3703EGN-5#TRPBF operate in boost configuration?
Yes, the LTC3703EGN-5#TRPBF can operate in boost mode by applying >2V to the INV pin (Pin 6), which reconfigures TG as the main switch driver and BG as the synchronous rectifier driver. However, the datasheet emphasizes buck operation as primary; boost performance depends on external component selection and is not characterized across full temperature range.
