LTC3407-3
Dual Synchronous,
1.8V/0.8A and 3.3V/0.8A
2.25MHz Step-Down DC/DC Regulator
DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
3407-3 is a dual, constant frequency, synchro-
nous step down DC/DC converter. Intended for low power
applications, it operates from 3.3V to 5.5V input voltage
range and has a constant 2.25MHz switching frequency,
allowing the use of tiny, low cost capacitors and inductors
with a profile ≤1.0mm. Internal synchronous 0.35Ω, 1.2A
power switches provide high efficiency without the need
for external Schottky diodes.
A user selectable mode input is provided to allow the user
to trade-off noise ripple for low power efficiency. Burst
Mode
®
operation provides high efficiency at light loads,
while pulse-skipping mode provides low noise ripple at
light loads.
To further maximize battery life, the P-channel MOSFETs
are turned on continuously in dropout (100% duty cycle),
and both channels draw a total quiescent current of only
40μA. In shutdown, the device draws <1μA.

Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime. No pin shall exceed 6V.
Note 2:
The LTC3407E-3 is guaranteed to meet specified performance
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls.

Note 3:
The LTC3407-3 is tested in a proprietary test mode that connects
the output of the error amplifier to an outside servo loop.
Note 4:
Dynamic supply current is higher due to the internal gate charge
being delivered at the switching frequency.
Note 5:
T

PIN FUNCTIONS
V
OUT1
(Pin 1):
Output Voltage Feedback Pin for Channel
1. An internal resistive divider divides the output voltage
down for comparison to the internal reference voltage.
RUN1 (Pin 2):
Regulator 1 Enable. Forcing this pin to
V
IN
enables regulator 1, while forcing it to GND causes
regulator 1 to shut down. Do not float this pin.
V
IN
(Pin 3):
Main Power Supply. Must be closely decoupled
to GND.
SW1 (Pin 4):
Regulator 1 Switch Node Connection to the
Inductor. This pin swings from V
IN
to GND.
GND (Pin 5):
Ground. This pin is not connected internally.
Connect to PCB ground for shielding.
MODE/SYNC (Pin 6):
Combination Mode Selection and
Oscillator Synchronization. This pin controls the operation
of the device. When tied to V
IN
or GND, Burst Mode opera-
tion or pulse-skipping mode is selected, respectively. The
oscillation frequency can be synchronized to an external
oscillator applied to this pin and pulse-skipping mode is
automatically selected. Do not float this pin.
SW2 (Pin 7):
Regulator 2 Switch Node Connection to the
Inductor. This pin swings from V
IN
to GND.
POR
(Pin 8):
Power-On Reset . This common-drain logic
output is pulled to GND when the output voltage falls below
–8.5% of regulation and goes high after 117ms when both
channels are within regulation.
RUN2 (Pin 9):
Regulator 2 Enable. Forcing this pin to
V
IN
enables regulator 2, while forcing it to GND causes
regulator 2 to shut down. Do not float this pin.
V
OUT2
(Pin 10):
Output Voltage Feedback Pin for Channel 2.
An internal resistive divider divides the output voltage down
for comparison to the internal reference voltage.
Exposed Pad (GND) (Pin 11):
Power Ground. Connect to
the (–) terminal of C
OUT
, and (–) terminal of C
IN
. Must be
connected to electrical ground on PCB.
