Product details
Overview
LTC3707EGN#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual-phase, synchronous step-down switching regulator controller driving two independent N-channel MOSFET stages for high-efficiency 5V/3.3V power conversion. It features 180° phase interleaving, OPTI-LOOP® compensation, ±1.5% output voltage accuracy over temperature, 3.5V–30V input range, and integrated 5V/3.3V standby regulators - used in notebook computers, battery-powered instrumentation, and DC power distribution systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3707EGN#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3707EGN#TRPBF pinout, LTC3707EGN#TRPBF application, or LTC3707EGN#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-channel current-mode control with 180° phasing, adjustable 150–300kHz switching frequency, forced continuous/Burst Mode®/constant-frequency operation selection via FCB pin, remote sense capability, and latch-off short-circuit protection with foldback limiting.
Technical Context
The LTC3707EGN#TRPBF implements a constant-frequency, current-mode architecture with two independent control loops operating 180° out of phase to reduce input ripple and EMI. Each channel uses differential current sensing (SENSE±), error amplifier output at ITH pins, and precision 0.8V reference for feedback regulation.
It supports three low-power modes via the FCB pin: Burst Mode® (for highest light-load efficiency), constant-frequency discontinuous conduction mode (for low-noise operation down to ~1% load), and forced continuous PWM (for bidirectional current handling). The IC integrates dual gate drivers (TG/BG), internal 5V LDO (INTVCC), 3.3V linear regulator (3.3VOUT), and PGOOD monitoring with ±7.5% output window detection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5V to 30V - supports wide battery chemistries including 12V lead-acid, multi-cell Li-ion, and industrial 24V rails. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1.5% over –40°C to +85°C - ensures stable microprocessor core/supply rail regulation across thermal extremes. |
| Switching Frequency Range | 150kHz to 300kHz (adjustable via FREQSET) - balances efficiency, size, and EMI for compact DC/DC designs. |
| Duty Cycle Max | 99.4% - enables ultra-low dropout operation (e.g., 5V out from 5.2V in) without external boost circuitry. |
| Quiescent Current (Shutdown) | 20μA - minimizes battery drain during system sleep states in portable equipment. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 65mV to 88mV (programmable via RSENSE) - sets precise overcurrent trip point with minimal power loss in sense resistor. |

Pinout & Package
Package: 28-lead narrow SSOP (GN), RoHS-compliant, –40°C to +85°C operating temperature range.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RUN/SS1, RUN/SS2 (Pins 1, 15) | Soft-start & shutdown control inputs | Capacitor-programmable ramp time; also triggers timed latchoff during sustained short-circuit conditions. |
| SENSE1+, SENSE2+ / SENSE1–, SENSE2– (Pins 2,3,13,14) | Differential current sense inputs | Enable accurate peak-current-mode control with programmable trip threshold (65–88mV) and foldback limiting. |
| VOSENSE1, VOSENSE2 (Pins 4, 12) | Remote feedback voltage inputs | Support Kelvin sensing to reject PCB trace IR drop and maintain tight output regulation under dynamic load. |
| FCB (Pin 7) | Mode selection & secondary winding regulation input | Selects Burst Mode®, constant-frequency, or forced PWM; can regulate auxiliary outputs by forcing continuous conduction. |
| TG1, TG2 / BG1, BG2 (Pins 16,27,19,23) | Top/bottom N-MOSFET gate drivers | High-current (3A peak), fast-transition (≤110ns) drivers with bootstrap (TG) and ground-referenced (BG) outputs. |
| PGOOD (Pin 28) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Asserts low when either VOSENSE voltage deviates >±7.5% - enables safe system enable sequencing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 180° phased dual controllers | Reduces RMS input capacitor current by up to 30%, enabling smaller, lower-ESR input capacitors and lower EMI. |
| OPTI-LOOP® compensation | Allows stable loop response across wide variations in output capacitance (ceramic or polymer) and ESR without redesign. |
| Integrated 3.3V linear regulator | Delivers 10mA DC / 50mA peak for auxiliary biasing (e.g., USB PHY, level shifters), eliminating need for discrete LDO. |
| Output overvoltage protection | Latches bottom MOSFET on until VOSENSE returns within ±7.5%, preventing damage to downstream logic or memory. |
| Adjustable soft-start current ramping | IRUN/SS = 0.5–1.2μA enables precise control of inrush current during startup, protecting input source and MOSFETs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-phase synchronous buck controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3728IGN#TRPBF | Higher max frequency (600kHz), no integrated 3.3V LDO, requires external VREF for 0.6V output setting. | Better suited for space-constrained designs needing higher switching frequency and lower output voltages (e.g., 1.2V core rails). | Select when higher frequency and sub-3.3V outputs are required; omit if 3.3VOUT bias rail is needed. |
| MP2918GL-Z | Single-chip dual-phase controller with integrated MOSFETs (40V/5A), fixed 0.6V reference, no FCB mode selection. | Targeted at cost-sensitive, medium-power applications where board area and BOM count outweigh flexibility needs. | Choose for simplified layout and lower component count; avoid when discrete MOSFET selection, remote sensing, or multi-mode operation is critical. |
Compared with LTC3707EGN#TRPBF, LTC3728IGN#TRPBF offers higher frequency headroom but lacks the integrated 3.3V bias rail, while MP2918GL-Z reduces external component count at the expense of configurability and precision remote sensing - making LTC3707EGN#TRPBF optimal for high-accuracy, flexible, dual-rail portable and industrial power systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum duty cycle supported by the LTC3707EGN#TRPBF?
The LTC3707EGN#TRPBF supports up to 99.4% duty cycle in dropout operation, enabling near-unity conversion (e.g., 5V output from 5.2V input) without external boost circuitry. This is achieved via internal dropout detection that forces periodic top-FET off-time to recharge the bootstrap capacitor while maintaining regulation - a critical feature for battery-powered systems nearing end-of-discharge.
How does the FCB pin affect operating mode selection in the LTC3707EGN#TRPBF?
The FCB pin on the LTC3707EGN#TRPBF selects among three distinct operating modes: below 0.8V → forced continuous PWM; between 0.8V and (INTVCC – 2V) → Burst Mode®; tied to INTVCC → constant-frequency discontinuous mode. This single-pin interface allows dynamic optimization of efficiency, noise, and output current capability without changing external components - essential for adaptive power management in portable devices.
Can the LTC3707EGN#TRPBF regulate a secondary winding using the FCB pin?
Yes - the LTC3707EGN#TRPBF can regulate an auxiliary winding (e.g., from a coupled inductor) by applying a scaled feedback signal to the FCB pin. When FCB voltage drops below 0.8V, the controller forces both channels into continuous conduction, allowing the error amplifier to servo the secondary output. This eliminates the need for a separate flyback or auxiliary controller in multi-output designs.
What is the purpose of the STBYMD pin on the LTC3707EGN#TRPBF?
The STBYMD pin on the LTC3707EGN#TRPBF provides three-state control: grounded → shuts down both controllers; open → enables normal RUN/SS startup; >2V → activates the internal 3.3VOUT regulator independently. This allows "keep-alive" power for RTC or wake-up circuitry during full system shutdown - a key requirement for low-power embedded systems requiring instant-on capability.
Does the LTC3707EGN#TRPBF support remote voltage sensing, and how is it implemented?
Yes - the LTC3707EGN#TRPBF supports true remote sensing via dedicated VOSENSE1 and VOSENSE2 pins (Pins 4 and 12), which accept feedback signals from external resistive dividers placed directly at the load. This compensates for PCB trace resistance and ensures ±1.5% output accuracy at the point of load, critical for high-current, low-voltage rails in CPUs and FPGAs where even 50mV drop matters.
