Product details
Overview
LT3759IMSE#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a wide-input, current-mode DC/DC controller for boost, SEPIC, and inverting topologies. It regulates positive or negative output voltages from a single FBX feedback pin, supports 1.6V–42V input, delivers up to 2A output current, features 50mV SENSE threshold, and operates from –40°C to 125°C in automotive post-regulator and industrial power supply applications.
For engineers reviewing the LT3759IMSE#TRPBF datasheet, LT3759IMSE#TRPBF pinout, LT3759IMSE#TRPBF application, or LT3759IMSE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-polarity feedback architecture, programmable 100kHz–1MHz switching frequency, PGOOD status reporting, soft-start control via SS pin, and exposed-pad MSOP-12 thermal performance.
Technical Context
The LT3759IMSE#TRPBF implements fixed-frequency current-mode control with dual error amplifiers-one for +1.6V regulation (positive outputs) and one for –0.8V regulation (negative outputs)-enabling topology-agnostic voltage programming. Its SENSE pin monitors switch current through an external sense resistor with 46–54mV threshold accuracy over temperature.
It integrates two independent LDOs: a DRIVE-powered 4.75V regulator and a VIN-powered 3.75V regulator, both feeding INTVCC; internal logic selects the active LDO based on supply conditions. The device supports frequency synchronization via SYNC pin and includes frequency foldback during start-up or short-circuit faults to limit inductor current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 1.6V to 42V - supports direct connection to automotive battery (cold crank to load dump) without pre-regulation. |
| Output Polarity Support | Positive or negative regulated output - selectable via FBX divider configuration; no external polarity-reversal circuitry needed. |
| SENSE Threshold | 46–54mV (typ 50mV) - enables accurate current limiting with low-value, low-power sense resistors (e.g., 5mΩ). |
| Switching Frequency | 100kHz to 1MHz - set by RT resistor or synchronized externally; higher frequencies reduce inductor size but increase gate drive loss. |
| PGOOD Accuracy | ±5% window around regulation voltage - asserts open-collector output when FBX is within 80mV (1.6V mode) or 40mV (–0.8V mode) of target. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C junction - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial environments with full parameter guarantee. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - enables ultra-low-power system standby with EN/UVLO pin pulled low. |
Pinout & Package
LT3759IMSE#TRPBF is housed in a 12-lead plastic MSOP package with exposed pad (Pin 13), requiring soldering to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity. θJA = 35–40°C/W with proper layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VC | Error amplifier compensation node | Connect RC network to stabilize voltage loop; clamped during soft-start to limit peak current. |
| FBX | Dual-polarity feedback input | Accepts resistor divider from output; selects +1.6V or –0.8V reference automatically based on voltage polarity. |
| SS | Soft-start control | 10µA pull-up to 2.5V rail; external capacitor sets ramp time; discharged during UVLO or thermal fault. |
| RT | Frequency programming | Resistor to GND sets oscillator frequency (100kHz–1MHz); open pin disables operation. |
| SYNC | External clock input | Accepts digital clock edge; requires RT set 20% below sync frequency; ignored if INTVCC < 2.7V. |
| PGOOD | Open-collector status output | Asserts low when INTVCC > 2.7V and FBX within ±5% of regulation; requires external pull-up. |
| EN/UVLO | Enable and input undervoltage detection | 1.22V falling threshold with programmable hysteresis; resets soft-start on undervoltage event. |
| SENSE | Current sense input | Kelvin-connected to high-side of sense resistor; referenced to GND; rejects noise via differential sensing path. |
| GATE | N-MOSFET gate driver output | Swings between INTVCC and GND; driven low during shutdown, thermal lockout, or INTVCC UVLO. |
| INTVCC | Internal regulated supply | 4.75V (DRIVE-powered) or 3.75V (VIN-powered); bypass with ≥4.7µF ceramic capacitor adjacent to pin. |
| VIN | Main input supply | Bypass with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor; powers VIN LDO and internal bias circuits. |
| GND | Ground reference and thermal pad | Exposed pad (Pin 13) must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal conduction and noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-reference feedback architecture | Single FBX pin supports both +1.6V and –0.8V regulation references-eliminates need for separate positive/negative controllers. |
| Programmable soft-start | Capacitor-controlled ramp on SS pin limits inrush current and prevents inductor saturation during startup or fault recovery. |
| Two-integrated LDO regulators | DRIVE- and VIN-powered LDOs autonomously supply INTVCC; automatic selection avoids external bias supplies and improves efficiency. |
| Frequency foldback protection | Reduces switching frequency when FBX nears GND (e.g., short-circuit or deep start-up), limiting peak inductor current without external circuitry. |
| Accurate PGOOD monitoring | Window comparator on FBX provides reliable power-good indication with defined hysteresis-critical for system sequencing and safety logic. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DC/DC controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3789EMSE#TRPBF | 4-switch synchronous buck-boost controller; supports 4V–36V input; no native inverting mode; requires external MOSFET drivers. | Best for high-efficiency, bidirectional voltage regulation where output must track input (e.g., USB PD sink); not suitable for pure inverting or SEPIC. | Select LTC3789EMSE#TRPBF only when synchronous rectification and input/output voltage crossover are required; LT3759IMSE#TRPBF remains preferred for cost-sensitive inverting/SEPIC. |
| MAX17595ATP+T | High-voltage current-mode controller; 4.5V–60V input; fixed 1.6V FB reference only; no negative-output support; integrated bootstrap diode. | Suitable for high-input boost applications (e.g., industrial 48V systems); lacks dual-polarity feedback and PGOOD window comparator. | Choose MAX17595ATP+T for >42V input or where bootstrap diode integration reduces component count; LT3759IMSE#TRPBF is superior for dual-polarity or automotive-grade reliability. |
Compared with LTC3789EMSE#TRPBF and MAX17595ATP+T, the LT3759IMSE#TRPBF uniquely combines true inverting capability, single-pin dual-reference feedback, and guaranteed –40°C to 125°C operation-making it irreplaceable for space-constrained automotive and industrial SEPIC/inverting designs requiring minimal external components.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed operating temperature range for LT3759IMSE#TRPBF?
The LT3759IMSE#TRPBF is guaranteed to operate from –40°C to +125°C junction temperature, with all electrical specifications fully characterized and warranted across this range. This makes it suitable for under-hood automotive applications and industrial environments where ambient temperatures exceed 85°C.
Can LT3759IMSE#TRPBF generate a negative output voltage?
Yes, the LT3759IMSE#TRPBF natively supports negative output generation in inverting topology using the same FBX pin. When configured with a resistor divider pulling FBX toward –0.8V, the internal negative-error amplifier activates, regulating VOUT = –0.8V × (1 + R2/R1). No additional ICs or polarity-reversal circuitry are required.
How is the switching frequency set on LT3759IMSE#TRPBF?
The switching frequency of LT3759IMSE#TRPBF is set by connecting a resistor from the RT pin to GND. Values range from 6.81kΩ (1MHz) to 86.6kΩ (100kHz), per Table 2 in the datasheet. Leaving RT open disables operation. For synchronization, apply an external clock to SYNC and set RT for 20% lower frequency than the sync signal.
What is the function of the PGOOD pin on LT3759IMSE#TRPBF?
The PGOOD pin on LT3759IMSE#TRPBF is an open-collector output that asserts low when two conditions are met: (1) INTVCC exceeds 2.7V, and (2) the FBX voltage is within ±5% of its regulation point (±80mV for +1.6V mode, ±40mV for –0.8V mode). It requires an external pull-up resistor and enables safe system power sequencing.
Does LT3759IMSE#TRPBF require external MOSFET drivers?
No, the LT3759IMSE#TRPBF integrates a robust N-channel MOSFET gate driver on the GATE pin, capable of sourcing/sinking sufficient current to drive typical power MOSFETs directly. It operates from INTVCC (3.75V or 4.75V) and includes fast rise/fall times (20ns typical into 3300pF), eliminating the need for external drivers in most applications.
