The LTC
®
3407-2 is a dual, constant frequency, synchro-
nous step down DC/DC converter. Intended for low power
applications, it operates from 2.5V 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
≤1.2mm.
Each output voltage is adjustable
from 0.6V to 5V. 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 Skip 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.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The LTC3407-2E is guaranteed to meet specified performance
from 0°C to 70°C. Specifications over the – 40°C and 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls.
Note 3:
The LTC3407-2 is tested in a proprietary test mode that connects
V
FB
to the output of the error amplifier.
Note 4:
Dynamic supply current is higher due to the internal gate charge
being delivered at the switching frequency.
Note 5:
T
J
is calculated from the ambient T
A
and power dissipation P
D
according to the following formula: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
•
θ
JA
).
Note 6:
The DFN switch on-resistance is guaranteed by correlation to
wafer level measurements.

(Pin 1):
Output Feedback. Receives the feedback
voltage from the external resistive divider across the
output. Nominal voltage for this pin is 0.6V.
RUN1 (Pin 2):
Regulator 1 Enable. Forcing this pin to V
IN
enables regulator 1, while forcing it to GND causes regu-
lator 1 to shut down.
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):
Main Ground. Connect to the (–) terminal of
C
OUT
, and (–) terminal of C
IN
.
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
operation or pulse skipping mode is selected, respec-
tively. Do not float this pin. The oscillation frequency can
be syncronized to an external oscillator applied to this pin
and pulse skipping mode is automatically selected.
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 is not
within
±8.5%
of regulation and goes high after 117ms
when both channels are within regulation.
RUN2 (Pin 9):
Output Feedback. Forcing this pin to V
IN
enables regulator 2, while forcing it to GND causes regu-
lator 2 to shut down.
