Product details
Overview
LTC3707IGN-SYNC#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual-phase, constant-frequency current-mode synchronous step-down controller driving two independent N-channel MOSFET stages. It delivers ±1.5% output voltage accuracy, 180° phase interleaving up to 300kHz, and supports 4.5V–28V input with dual 5V/3.3V outputs - used in notebook CPU core and I/O power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3707IGN-SYNC#PBF datasheet, LTC3707IGN-SYNC#PBF pinout, LTC3707IGN-SYNC#PBF application, or LTC3707IGN-SYNC#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include phase-lockable frequency control, OPTI-LOOP compensation for wide-output-capacitance stability, dual remote sense capability, and integrated 3.3V linear regulator for auxiliary rail generation.
Technical Context
The LTC3707IGN-SYNC#PBF implements a dual-channel, 180° out-of-phase current-mode architecture with independent error amplifiers (ITH1/ITH2), differential current sensing (SENSE±), and synchronized top/bottom gate drivers (TG1/BG1, TG2/BG2). Each channel features programmable soft-start via RUN/SS pins and foldback current limiting during short-circuit events.
Its PLLIN/PLLFLTR interface enables external synchronization or DC voltage-controlled frequency tuning from 140kHz to 310kHz. The FCB pin selects between Burst Mode®, forced continuous conduction, or secondary winding regulation - all while maintaining independent VOSENSE1/VOSENSE2 feedback paths with ±7.5% PGOOD monitoring.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 28V (30V absolute max); supports Li-ion, Li-poly, and 12V/24V industrial rails. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1.5% over temperature; enables tight regulation for microprocessor core and I/O supplies. |
| Switching Frequency | 140kHz–310kHz (DC-tunable via PLLFLTR); phase-lockable to external clock on PLLIN. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.800V ±12mV; precision reference compatible with future low-voltage microprocessors. |
| Power Good Threshold | ±7.5% of setpoint on either VOSENSE pin; open-drain PGOOD asserts low if either output deviates. |
| Shutdown Quiescent Current | 20μA; enables ultra-low-power system standby without disabling auxiliary 3.3VOUT rail. |
| Integrated 3.3V LDO | 3.35V ±50mV at 10mA; powers auxiliary logic or level-shifters without external regulator. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-Lead Plastic SSOP (0.150″ wide), –40°C to +85°C operating range.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RUN/SS1, RUN/SS2 (Pins 1, 15) | Soft-start & latchoff control inputs | Capacitor-based ramp controls startup current; falling below 1.0V shuts down respective channel. |
| SENSE1+, SENSE2+ / SENSE1–, SENSE2– (Pins 2,3,13,14) | Differential current sense inputs | Measure RSENSE voltage drop to set peak inductor current limit per channel. |
| VOSENSE1, VOSENSE2 (Pins 4, 12) | Remote output voltage feedback | Accepts resistive divider signal; enables accurate regulation despite PCB trace IR drop. |
| FCB (Pin 7) | Mode selection control | Voltage <0.8V forces continuous conduction; 0.8V–2.8V enables Burst Mode®; >4.3V disables burst. |
| TG1, TG2 / BG1, BG2 (Pins 16,27,19,23) | High-current gate drivers | TG drives top N-MOSFETs (floating); BG drives bottom N-MOSFETs (ground-referenced). |
| PGOOD (Pin 28) | Open-drain status output | Pulled low if either VOSENSE deviates >±7.5%; requires external pull-up to ≤7V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 180° phase interleaving | Reduces RMS input current by ~39% vs. in-phase dual controllers, lowering input capacitor size and EMI. |
| OPTI-LOOP® compensation | Enables stable loop response across wide COUT/ESR ranges without manual compensation redesign. |
| Dual independent current sensing | Per-channel SENSE± inputs support asymmetric output configurations (e.g., 5V/3.3V @ 5A each). |
| Integrated 3.3V linear regulator | Delivers 10mA DC (50mA peak) from INTVCC; eliminates need for external 3.3V bias supply. |
| Programmable short-circuit protection | RUN/SS capacitor sets timed latchoff; foldback limits MOSFET dissipation during sustained overload. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3728CUH#PBF | Single-channel, 30V max VIN, no integrated 3.3V LDO, 6mm × 6mm QFN package. | Requires external 3.3V bias; suited for space-constrained single-rail designs where dual-phase isn't needed. | Select when only one high-current output is required and board area is critical. |
| MP8772GQ-Z | Monolithic dual-phase controller (integrated MOSFETs), 16V max VIN, fixed 500kHz switching. | No external MOSFET flexibility; limited input voltage range excludes 24V/28V industrial use. | Select for cost-sensitive, lower-power applications where integration outweighs input range and configurability needs. |
Compared with LTC3707IGN-SYNC#PBF, LTC3728CUH#PBF offers higher voltage tolerance but lacks dual-channel coordination and auxiliary regulation, while MP8772GQ-Z trades design flexibility for reduced BOM count and footprint - making LTC3707IGN-SYNC#PBF optimal for high-reliability, multi-rail industrial and computing systems demanding wide input range and precise sequencing.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported switching frequency for LTC3707IGN-SYNC#PBF?
The LTC3707IGN-SYNC#PBF supports a tunable oscillator range from 140kHz to 310kHz via the PLLFLTR pin, with phase-lockable operation up to 300kHz when synchronized to an external clock on PLLIN. Its absolute maximum rated frequency is 300kHz under standard operating conditions, consistent with its current-mode architecture and gate driver timing specifications.
Does LTC3707IGN-SYNC#PBF support remote voltage sensing on both outputs?
Yes, LTC3707IGN-SYNC#PBF provides dedicated VOSENSE1 and VOSENSE2 pins for independent remote sensing on each output channel. This allows precise regulation at the load point by compensating for PCB trace resistance, ensuring ±1.5% accuracy even with milliohm-level IR drops between the converter and target ICs.
How does the FCB pin affect operating mode selection in LTC3707IGN-SYNC#PBF?
The FCB pin on LTC3707IGN-SYNC#PBF selects among three modes: voltage <0.8V forces continuous conduction; 0.8V–2.8V enables Burst Mode® for light-load efficiency; >4.3V disables burst and enforces constant-frequency PWM. This pin operates identically across both channels and can also regulate a secondary winding when used with auxiliary transformer feedback.
What is the function of the 3.3VOUT pin on LTC3707IGN-SYNC#PBF?
The 3.3VOUT pin on LTC3707IGN-SYNC#PBF is an integrated linear regulator output delivering 3.35V ±50mV at up to 10mA DC (50mA peak). It is powered from INTVCC and intended for biasing auxiliary circuitry such as level shifters, supervisors, or logic interfaces - eliminating the need for a discrete 3.3V LDO in many designs.
Can LTC3707IGN-SYNC#PBF operate with input voltages below 4.5V?
No, LTC3707IGN-SYNC#PBF has a specified minimum input voltage of 4.5V and an undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold of 3.5V–4.0V. Operation below 4.5V violates the guaranteed performance envelope; attempting to power it from a deeply discharged Li-ion cell (<3.6V) will cause UVLO shutdown and prevent regulation.
