Product details
Overview
LTC7130IY#PBF from Analog Devices is a monolithic synchronous step-down DC/DC converter delivering up to 20A continuous output current with ultralow-DCR inductor sensing, ±0.5% output voltage regulation accuracy at 0.6V reference, and programmable current limit from 10mV to 30mV. It operates across 4.5V–20V input and supports 0.6V–3.5V output, targeting high-density power rails for FPGAs and telecom processors.
For engineers reviewing the LTC7130IY#PBF datasheet, LTC7130IY#PBF pinout, LTC7130IY#PBF application, or LTC7130IY#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its differential remote sense amplifier, DCR temperature compensation, 250kHz–770kHz programmable switching frequency, and 63-pin 6.25mm × 7.5mm BGA package with SnPb/RoHS-compliant finish.
Technical Context
The LTC7130IY#PBF implements Analog Devices' proprietary current-mode architecture with dual-sense inputs (SNSD+, SNSA+) to enhance signal-to-noise ratio for sub-1mΩ DCR inductors, reducing switching jitter and enabling high-efficiency operation at light loads. Its error amplifier drives the ITH pin to control peak inductor current, while the VFB pin compares feedback against a precision 0.6V reference.
It integrates a high-speed differential remote sense amplifier (gain = 1.0 V/V, ±0.3% gain error), programmable ILIM threshold (10–30mV in 5mV steps), and temperature-compensated current limiting via ITEMP pin connected to an NTC thermistor near the output inductor. The MODE/PLLIN pin selects Burst Mode®, pulse-skipping, or forced CCM operation.

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (E4–E7, F4–F7, G7) | Main power input supply | Connects directly to internal high-side and low-side NMOS drains; requires local ceramic decoupling to PGND. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the LTC7130IY#PBF?
The LTC7130IY#PBF delivers up to 20A continuous output current under specified thermal conditions (e.g., 200LFM airflow, DC2341A demo board). Actual achievable current depends on ambient temperature, PCB copper area, and airflow; thermal derating curves in the datasheet define limits at 0LFM, 200LFM, and 400LFM for VIN = 5V/12V/20V. The LTC7130IY#PBF maintains this rating across its full –40°C to 125°C junction temperature range.
How does the LTC7130IY#PBF achieve ultralow-DCR current sensing?
The LTC7130IY#PBF uses two dedicated sense inputs-SNSD+ for DC current and SNSA+ for AC ripple-to reconstruct a high-SNR current signal from inductor DCR as low as 0.37mΩ. Internal signal processing provides 14dB SNR improvement versus conventional methods, eliminating switching jitter and enabling efficient operation without discrete sense resistors. This architecture is intrinsic to the LTC7130IY#PBF and requires matching RC filter time constants per the datasheet.
Can the LTC7130IY#PBF operate with a 5V input supply?
Yes, the LTC7130IY#PBF supports 4.5V–20V input. When VIN is between 4.5V and 5.5V, the SVIN pin must be tied to INTVCC to ensure proper internal regulator operation. This configuration is explicitly validated in the datasheet (Note 3) and used in typical 5V-input applications. The LTC7130IY#PBF maintains full functionality-including current limit programming and remote sensing-at 5V input.
What is the purpose of the ITEMP pin on the LTC7130IY#PBF?
The ITEMP pin on the LTC7130IY#PBF accepts a voltage from an NTC thermistor placed near the output inductor to compensate for DCR drift over temperature. This enables precise, temperature-invariant current limiting: as inductor DCR increases with heat, the LTC7130IY#PBF automatically scales down the effective current sense threshold to maintain consistent trip points. Leaving ITEMP floating disables this feature.
Does the LTC7130IY#PBF support parallel operation for higher current?
Yes, the LTC7130IY#PBF supports high-current parallel operation through synchronized switching and coordinated current limiting. By connecting MODE/PLLIN pins together and using matched ILIM and ITEMP networks, multiple LTC7130IY#PBF units can share load current with <±3% mismatch. The datasheet confirms this capability under "High Current Parallel Operation" in the FEATURES section and provides layout guidelines for interleaving and thermal balance.
