Product details
Overview
LTC3727AIG-1#TRPBF 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 up to 5A and 4A on VOUT1/VOUT2 respectively, supports 4V–30V input, regulates output from 0.8V to 14V with ±1% accuracy, and operates out-of-phase at 250kHz–550kHz to reduce input RMS current and EMI-used in telecom power supplies and automotive infotainment DC/DC conversion.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3727AIG-1#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3727AIG-1#TRPBF pinout, LTC3727AIG-1#TRPBF application, or LTC3727AIG-1#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-channel phase-interleaved architecture, OPTI-LOOP® compensation for wide COUT/ESR tolerance, 99% dropout duty cycle, integrated 3.3V LDO, and PGOOD monitoring across both outputs.
Technical Context
The LTC3727AIG-1#TRPBF implements a dual-channel, constant-frequency current-mode control loop with 180° phase offset between channels. Each channel features independent ITH error amplifier outputs, differential SENSE+/- current sensing, and VOSENSE feedback with 0.8V precision reference. Its OPTI-LOOP® architecture adapts compensation dynamically across output capacitance and ESR variations.
Phase-lockable oscillator operation (250–550kHz) is controlled via PLLFLTR voltage or external synchronization at PLLIN. The controller integrates dual high-current gate drivers (TG/BG), internal 7.5V INTVCC LDO, 3.3V auxiliary regulator, and protection functions including output overvoltage lockout (±7.5%), current foldback, and undervoltage lockout (4V).

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RUN/SS1, RUN/SS2 (1, 15) | Soft-start & enable control | Capacitor-to-ground sets ramp time; <1.0V forces shutdown of respective channel. |
| SENSE1+, SENSE2+ (2, 14) | Current sense positive input | Differential input to current comparator; referenced to SENSE–; sets trip threshold with RSENSE. |
| SENSE1–, SENSE2– (3, 13) | Current sense negative input | Common-mode range: SGND to 14V; enables high-side or low-side RSENSE placement. |
| VOSENSE1, VOSENSE2 (4, 12) | Feedback voltage input | Remote-sense input for each output; compared to 0.8V reference; enables precision regulation. |
| PLLFLTR (5) | PLL filter / frequency control | DC voltage input (0–2.4V) sets oscillator frequency; also serves as PLL loop filter node. |

| FCB (7) | Forced continuous/burst mode select | <0.8V forces continuous PWM; 0.8V–(VINTVCC−2V) enables Burst Mode®; prevents floating. |
| ITH1, ITH2 (8, 11) | Error amplifier output | Compensation node; controls peak inductor current; used for loop stability tuning. |
| SGND (9) | Small-signal ground | Reference for analog circuitry; must be separated from PGND to avoid noise coupling. |

| TG1, TG2 (27, 16) | Top gate driver output | Floating driver output; swing = INTVCC − 0.5V superimposed on SW node voltage. |
| PGOOD (28) | Power-good indicator | Open-drain output; pulled low if either VOSENSE deviates >±7.5%; requires external pull-up. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3727EG-1#TRPBF | Same silicon, commercial-grade (0°C to 85°C) temperature range; no guaranteed spec over –40°C. | Suitable for non-automotive, indoor industrial use where ambient stays above 0°C. | Select LTC3727AIG-1#TRPBF for extended temperature reliability; LTC3727EG-1#TRPBF only where cost sensitivity outweighs thermal margin. |
| MP2918GL-Z | Single-chip dual-phase controller with integrated MOSFET drivers but no 3.3V LDO or PLLIN sync; max fSW = 1MHz; no Burst Mode®. | Used in cost-sensitive consumer power bricks; lacks telecom-grade PGOOD accuracy and phase-sync capability. | Choose MP2918GL-Z only for simple, high-frequency, single-rail applications; LTC3727AIG-1#TRPBF remains superior for multi-rail telecom/automotive systems requiring precision, sync, and auxiliary bias. |
Compared with LTC3727EG-1#TRPBF, the LTC3727AIG-1#TRPBF guarantees full specifications over –40°C to 85°C, critical for automotive and outdoor industrial deployment.

FAQ
What is the minimum on-time specification for the LTC3727AIG-1#TRPBF?
The LTC3727AIG-1#TRPBF has a minimum on-time of 120ns, tested with square-wave input and inductor ripple current ≥40% of IMAX. This enables high VIN-to-VOUT conversion ratios (e.g., 24V→1.2V at 550kHz) without pulse-skipping artifacts or regulation loss.
How does the FCB pin affect operating mode in the LTC3727AIG-1#TRPBF?
The FCB pin on the LTC3727AIG-1#TRPBF selects between three modes: <0.8V forces continuous PWM on both channels; 0.8V–(VINTVCC−2V) enables Burst Mode® for light-load efficiency; >VINTVCC−2V disables Burst Mode® and defaults to constant-frequency operation. Leaving FCB floating is prohibited.
Can the LTC3727AIG-1#TRPBF drive MOSFETs with gate charges exceeding 30nC?
Yes-the LTC3727AIG-1#TRPBF's TG/BG drivers deliver 3A peak current and support gate charges up to ~50nC when paired with appropriate external gate resistors and bootstrap components. Rise/fall times remain <90ns with 3300pF load, ensuring efficient switching even with high-Qg MOSFETs.
What is the purpose of the 3.3VOUT pin on the LTC3727AIG-1#TRPBF?
The 3.3VOUT pin on the LTC3727AIG-1#TRPBF provides a regulated 3.3V/10mA auxiliary supply, eliminating the need for a separate LDO. It powers internal logic, remote sensing circuitry, or low-noise analog peripherals-decoupled internally and stable across load and line variations.
Does the LTC3727AIG-1#TRPBF support independent enable and soft-start for each channel?
Yes-the LTC3727AIG-1#TRPBF provides fully independent RUN/SS1 and RUN/SS2 pins. Each accepts a soft-start capacitor to control ramp rate, and pulling either below 1.0V shuts down only its associated channel, enabling staggered startup, fault containment, and flexible power sequencing in multi-rail systems.
