Product details
Overview
LTC3703IGN#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 100V synchronous step-down switching regulator controller with voltage-mode architecture, programmable 100–600kHz constant-frequency operation, ±1% reference accuracy, and dual N-channel MOSFET gate drive. It enables high-efficiency telecom power supplies (e.g., 48V input to 12V/5A output) without external current-sense resistors by sensing RDS(ON) of the bottom FET.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3703IGN#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3703IGN#TRPBF pinout, LTC3703IGN#TRPBF application, or LTC3703IGN#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 100V max VIN capability, -40°C to 125°C extended temperature grade, no-RSENSE current limiting, 1Ω gate drivers, and compatibility with logic-level or standard-threshold N-MOSFETs in buck topology.
Technical Context
The LTC3703IGN#TRPBF implements voltage-mode control with patented line feedforward compensation for instantaneous input-voltage transient rejection, and a 25MHz error amplifier enabling fast load-step response. Its oscillator supports resistor-programmed frequency (100–600kHz) or external synchronization up to 600kHz.
It features dual independent gate drivers: TG delivers floating high-side drive (up to 100V swing) via BOOST/SW bootstrap, while BG provides low-side drive referenced to BGRTN - configurable with negative return to suppress Miller-induced shoot-through. Current limit is set by a single resistor on IMAX using an internal 12µA source.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max Input Voltage (VIN) | 100V - enables direct conversion from 48V telecom or 72V automotive battery rails without pre-regulation. |
| Reference Accuracy | ±1% - ensures stable 0.792V to 0.812V feedback threshold across temperature, supporting precise output regulation. |
| Switching Frequency Range | 100–600kHz - allows optimization of inductor size, efficiency, and EMI filtering; synchronizable to external clock. |
| Gate Driver Strength | 1.5–2A peak, 1Ω pull-down RDS(ON) - drives multiple paralleled MOSFETs or large Qg devices with minimal switching loss. |
| Current Limit Method | No external sense resistor - uses VDS of synchronous bottom FET, reducing BOM count and power loss. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood applications requiring extended thermal margin. |
| Shutdown Current | 50µA typical - minimizes standby power in always-on systems such as network infrastructure. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead narrow plastic SSOP (GN16), RoHS-compliant, moisture-sensitive level 3. Pin pitch: 0.65mm. Thermal resistance θJA = 110°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| MODE/SYNC | Pulse-skip enable / sync input | Below 0.8V forces continuous mode; above 0.8V enables pulse-skip; accepts external 100–600kHz sync clock. |
| fSET | Oscillator frequency programming | Resistor-to-ground sets free-running frequency; 25kΩ yields ~300kHz per datasheet. |
| COMP | Error amplifier output | Connect RC compensation network here to stabilize loop; interfaces directly with feedback divider at FB. |
| FB | Feedback input | Monitors output via resistor divider; compared to 0.8V internal reference to regulate VOUT. |
| IMAX | Current limit threshold | 12µA internal source sets threshold voltage; RIMAX to ground defines overcurrent trip point. |
| RUN/SS | Enable / soft-start control | Pull <0.9V to shut down; internal 4µA current charges CSS for controlled VOUT ramp-up. |
| BGRTN | Bottom gate driver return | Separate return pin allows negative bias (e.g., –2V) to suppress Miller-induced false turn-on during dV/dt events. |
| BG | Bottom gate drive output | Drives source of low-side N-MOSFET; swings from BGRTN to DRVCC (9.3–15V). |
| DRVCC | Low-side driver supply | Must be ≥9.3V; powers BG driver; bypass with 10µF X5R ceramic to BGRTN. |
| VCC | Main IC supply | Powers all internal circuitry except drivers; requires 9.3–15V, bypassed with ≥0.1µF ceramic to GND. |
| SW | Switch node connection | Connects to inductor and BOOST capacitor; voltage swings from –0.3V (Schottky drop) to VIN. |
| TG | Top gate drive output | Floats with SW node; drives gate of high-side N-MOSFET; powered from BOOST. |
| BOOST | High-side driver supply | Bypassed to SW with 0.1µF X5R; charged via external Schottky from DRVCC for floating gate drive. |
| VIN | Input voltage sense | Not a power pin; feeds line feedforward circuitry to improve line regulation and transient response. |
| GND | Analog ground reference | Primary ground for internal circuits; separate from BGRTN to avoid noise coupling into gate drive. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No current-sense resistor required | Eliminates power loss and board space for RSENSE; uses bottom FET's RDS(ON) for accurate, temperature-compensated current limiting. |
| Programmable pulse-skip mode | Improves light-load efficiency by disabling bottom FET when inductor current reverses - avoids reverse conduction losses. |
| Patented line feedforward compensation | Instantly adjusts duty cycle on input transients (e.g., 25V→60V step), limiting output deviation to <50mV per Figure 2. |
| 16-pin narrow SSOP package | Compact footprint (5mm × 6mm) with 0.65mm pitch; supports automated assembly and thermal relief via exposed pad (GN16 variant). |
| Undervoltage lockout (UVLO) | VCC UV+ = 8.7V, UV– = 6.2V - prevents erratic startup or brownout operation in unstable input conditions. |
| Independent BGRTN pin | Enables negative gate bias (e.g., –2V) to counteract Miller capacitance coupling at SW node, preventing shoot-through in high-dV/dt environments. |
Applications
| 48V Telecom Power Supply | Automotive ADAS Power Rail |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the LTC3703IGN#TRPBF?
The LTC3703IGN#TRPBF supports a maximum input voltage of 100V on the VIN pin, as confirmed in Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. This enables direct step-down from high-voltage sources like 48V telecom systems or 72V battery stacks without pre-regulation stages. Operation above 100V risks permanent damage per datasheet Note 1.
Does the LTC3703IGN#TRPBF require an external current-sense resistor?
No, the LTC3703IGN#TRPBF does not require an external current-sense resistor. It implements no-RSENSE current limiting by monitoring the voltage drop across the synchronous bottom MOSFET's RDS(ON), as detailed in the Current Limit section and Figure 1. The IMAX pin uses an internal 12µA current source to set the trip threshold with a single resistor to ground.
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC3703IGN#TRPBF?
The LTC3703IGN#TRPBF is specified for operation from –40°C to +125°C junction temperature, as stated in the Order Information table and Absolute Maximum Ratings. This "I" grade variant is qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial environments where ambient temperatures exceed +85°C, unlike the "E" grade (–40°C to +85°C).
Can the LTC3703IGN#TRPBF be used in boost configuration?
Yes, the LTC3703IGN#TRPBF supports boost mode operation via the INV pin: pulling INV above 2V configures it as a step-up controller with TG driving the main switch and BG driving the synchronous rectifier. However, this mode is limited to ≤60V output per datasheet description and is less commonly implemented than its primary buck application.
What package type and lead finish does the LTC3703IGN#TRPBF use?
The LTC3703IGN#TRPBF uses a 16-lead narrow plastic SSOP package (GN16) with lead-free (Pb-free) finish and tape-and-reel packaging (#TRPBF suffix). The part marking is "3703I", and it complies with JEDEC moisture sensitivity level 3, requiring bake prior to reflow if exposed beyond floor life.
