Product details
Overview
LTC3719EG#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 2-phase, VID-programmable, synchronous step-down switching regulator controller driving two external N-channel MOSFETs in fixed-frequency current-mode architecture. It delivers up to 45A output at 0.8V–1.55V with ±1% voltage accuracy, true remote differential sensing, and programmable 150kHz–300kHz operation - optimized for AMD Opteron™ CPU core power delivery in servers and workstations.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3719EG#PBF datasheet, LTC3719EG#PBF pinout, LTC3719EG#PBF application, or LTC3719EG#PBF equivalent, this controller enables high-efficiency dual-phase buck conversion with antiphase operation, OPTI-LOOP® compensation, three selectable operating modes (PWM/Burst/Cycle Skip), and integrated overvoltage soft-latch protection - critical for stable high-current CPU VRMs.
Technical Context
The LTC3719EG#PBF implements a constant-frequency, current-mode control architecture with two independent 180° out-of-phase channels. Each channel uses peak-current sensing via dedicated SENSE+/- inputs, error amplifier output (ITH) as shared modulation node, and internal 0.600V reference with ±1% tolerance over temperature.
Its phase-locked loop (PLL) accepts external synchronization via PLLIN and supports frequency tuning from 120kHz to 360kHz through PLLFLTR voltage (0–2.4V). The controller integrates a unity-gain differential amplifier (ADA = 0.995–1.005 V/V, CMRR ≥ 46dB) for true remote sensing and an internal 5V LDO (INTVCC) with EXTVCC switchover at 4.7V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage Range | 0.8V to 1.55V, set by 5-bit AMD VID code - enables dynamic CPU core voltage scaling. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1% over full temperature range - ensures tight regulation under load transients and thermal drift. |
| Switching Frequency | Programmable 150kHz–300kHz (typical 220kHz) - balances efficiency, EMI, and component size. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 36V - supports wide-range industrial and server input rails including 5V, 12V, and 24V systems. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 62mV to 88mV (typ. 75mV) - sets peak inductor current limit per phase with low-loss RSENSE selection. |
| Differential Amplifier Gain | 0.995–1.005 V/V - enables precise remote sensing across PCB traces with <0.5% gain error. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 85°C ambient - qualified for enterprise server and workstation thermal environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 36-lead narrow-body SSOP (0.209" width), RoHS-compliant, moisture-sensitive level 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RUN/SS | Soft-start timer & shutdown control | Capacitor-based ramp controls ITH startup; <0.8V forces shutdown; discharge current triggers short-circuit latchoff. |
| SENSE1+/SENSE2+ | Positive current sense inputs | Connect to high-side of current-sense resistors; referenced to SENSE– for accurate peak-current detection per phase. |
| SENSE1–/SENSE2– | Negative current sense inputs | Return path for differential current sensing; common-mode range extends to 1.1×INTVCC for high-side sensing. |
| ITH | Error amplifier output & current threshold modulator | Shared control voltage (0–2.4V) sets both channels' current limits and regulates output voltage via feedback loop. |
| FCB | Forced continuous mode select | Voltage-selectable: <0.6V → PWM; 0.6–2.8V → Burst Mode; >4.5V → constant-frequency discontinuous mode. |
| TG1/TG2 | Top gate drivers | Floating N-channel drivers (3A peak) with bootstrap supply (BOOST1/2); swing = INTVCC + SW node voltage. |
| BG1/BG2 | Bottom gate drivers | Ground-referenced N-channel drivers (3A peak); drive MOSFET sources directly to PGND. |
| VDIFFOUT | Differential amplifier output | Drives external resistive divider for VID-adjusted output voltage; enables active voltage positioning (AVP). |
| VID0–VID4 | 5-bit VID code inputs | Accept TTL/CMOS logic levels; internal 40kΩ pull-ups allow direct connection to CPU VID bus without external resistors. |
| PGOOD | Power-good monitor | Open-drain output asserts low when EAIN deviates >±10% from 0.6V reference - signals valid regulation to system controller. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 2-phase antiphase operation | Reduces RMS input/output capacitor ripple current by ~70%, enabling smaller CIN/COUT and lower ESR requirements. |
| OPTI-LOOP® compensation | Allows stable loop response across wide range of output capacitor types and ESR values - eliminates need for custom compensation per design. |
| True remote differential sensing | Integrated 2MHz GBW differential amplifier (VOS+/VOS– inputs) compensates for IR drop in high-current PCB paths - maintains ±1% regulation at load point. |
| Three selectable operating modes | PWM (forced continuous), Burst Mode® (high-efficiency light-load), and Cycle Skip (constant-frequency, low-noise) - configurable via single FCB pin voltage. |
| Internal overvoltage soft-latch | Disables top MOSFET and activates bottom MOSFET on >±10% output excursion - prevents nuisance trips while protecting downstream loads. |
| Current foldback during short-circuit | Automatically reduces peak current limit when output drops below 70% nominal - limits MOSFET power dissipation without disabling regulation. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL6322IRZ | Fixed 300kHz frequency only; no PLL synchronization; requires external VID DAC; no OPTI-LOOP® compensation. | Designed for Intel VR10/11 platforms; lacks AMD VID native support and remote sensing amplifier. | Choose ISL6322IRZ only for Intel-compatible designs where VID decoding and differential sensing are handled externally. |
| MP2940AGQKT | Integrated MOSFET drivers with lower gate drive strength (1.5A vs 3A); no EXTVCC switchover; VID range limited to 0.6–1.5V. | Targeted at cost-sensitive client CPU VRMs; lacks true remote sensing and has reduced input voltage range (4.5–24V). | Use MP2940AGQKT for compact client platforms where 45A capability and server-grade reliability are not required. |

FAQ
What is the maximum supported output current for LTC3719EG#PBF?
The LTC3719EG#PBF is a controller-only device and does not define absolute current limits - it supports up to 45A total output by driving two external N-channel MOSFET stages. Peak per-phase current is determined by RSENSE value and internal 75mV current sense threshold. Designers select MOSFETs and inductors rated for their target load, with typical implementations delivering 20–50A using appropriate external components.
Does LTC3719EG#PBF support AMD-specific VID protocols natively?
Yes, the LTC3719EG#PBF includes native 5-bit AMD VID decoding circuitry (VID0–VID4 pins with internal 40kΩ pull-ups and logic thresholds at 0.4V/1.6V). It directly interprets standard AMD Opteron™ VID codes to set output voltage between 0.8V and 1.55V with ±1% accuracy, eliminating need for external VID DAC or level-shifting circuitry.
How does the OPTI-LOOP® compensation in LTC3719EG#PBF simplify design?
OPTI-LOOP® compensation in the LTC3719EG#PBF allows stable closed-loop operation across a wide range of output capacitor ESR and capacitance values - including ceramic, polymer, and electrolytic types - without requiring manual loop compensation adjustments. This reduces design iteration time and improves robustness against component tolerances and aging effects.
Can LTC3719EG#PBF operate with separate input supplies for each phase?
Yes, the LTC3719EG#PBF supports dual-input supply capability. Its current-mode architecture and independent SENSE+/– inputs per phase enable connecting each output stage to a different VIN rail (e.g., 5V and 12V). Load sharing is maintained by adjusting RSENSE values per phase, allowing flexible power distribution in multi-rail systems.
What protection features are integrated into LTC3719EG#PBF?
The LTC3719EG#PBF integrates overvoltage soft-latch (±10% trip), undervoltage lockout (3.33V threshold), short-circuit timeout via RUN/SS capacitor discharge, current foldback during output collapse, and thermal shutdown (TJMAX = 125°C). All protections operate without external components, ensuring reliable fault handling in high-density server and workstation environments.
