Product details
Overview
LT3782AEFE#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a current-mode, 2-phase step-up DC/DC controller IC designed for high-efficiency interleaved boost conversion. It supports 150kHz–500kHz programmable switching frequency, 10V gate drive with 4A peak output, and delivers up to 50V/4A output from 10V–36V input. It enables industrial telecom power supplies requiring low-output-ripple, high-power-density boost stages.
For engineers reviewing the LT3782AEFE#PBF datasheet, LT3782AEFE#PBF pinout, LT3782AEFE#PBF application, or LT3782AEFE#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-phase current sensing mismatch tolerance (±10mV), programmable duty cycle clamp (50%–94%), synchronous gate delay control, slope compensation adjustability, and thermal performance in the 28-lead TSSOP package with exposed GND pad.
Technical Context
The LT3782AEFE#PBF implements a constant-frequency, two-channel current-mode PWM architecture with internal 180° phase interleaving. Each channel features independent current sense amplifiers (SENSE1+/–, SENSE2+/–) with 63mV threshold and ±10mV mismatch tolerance, plus dedicated gate drivers (BGATE1/2, SGATE1/2) supporting external synchronous rectification.
It integrates a transconductance error amplifier (gm = 200–370 µmho), programmable oscillator (RSET-based), soft-start (ISS = 6–15 µA), undervoltage lockout (RUN threshold = 2.3–2.6 V), and slope compensation via external resistor on SLOPE pin - all optimized for noise-immune operation in high-voltage, high-current boost topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 10V to 36V - supports wide-range industrial and telecom DC inputs without pre-regulation. |

Pinout & Package
The LT3782AEFE#PBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 28-lead plastic TSSOP (FE package) with exposed GND pad (Pin 29) that must be soldered to PCB ground for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SGATE1 / SGATE2 (Pins 1, 26) | Synchronous top-FET drive outputs | Provide PWM signals to external drivers for synchronous rectification; require external buffer for high-side FETs. |
| BGATE1 / BGATE2 (Pins 23, 20) | Bottom-FET gate drivers | 10V, 4A peak drivers for N-channel power switches; low-side drive with <0.7V drop at 100mA sink. |
| SENSE1+/–, SENSE2+/– (Pins 8–9, 12–13) | Dual-phase current sense inputs | 63mV threshold per channel; Kelvin sensing required; ±10mV mismatch ensures balanced phase current sharing. |
| RSET (Pin 11) | Oscillator frequency programming | Resistor to GND sets switching frequency (e.g., 80kΩ → 250kHz); also used as reference for DCL and DELAY functions. |
| DELAY (Pin 6) | Synchronous timing offset control | Adjusts BGATE turn-on delay after SGATE turn-off (100–500ns) to prevent cross-conduction in synchronous designs. |
| DCL (Pin 7) | Duty cycle limit control | Voltage level selects max duty cycle: GND = 50%, 1.2V = 75%, VRSET ≈ 90% - critical for stability at high VIN/VOUT ratios. |
| FB (Pin 16) | Output voltage feedback input | Connects to resistor divider; 2.44V internal reference enables precise VOUT programming (e.g., 48V via RF1/RF2 ratio). |
| VC (Pin 15) | Error amplifier output / current loop control | Analog control voltage (0.7–1.5V typical) modulates peak inductor current; direct interface to external compensation networks. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 2-phase interleaving | Reduces input/output RMS ripple current by >70% vs single-phase, enabling smaller capacitors and lower EMI. |
| Programmable slope compensation | External resistor on SLOPE pin increases PWM ramp slope to suppress subharmonic oscillation in high-duty-cycle applications. |
| Tighter current sense mismatch | ±10mV max mismatch between channels ensures balanced load sharing and thermal distribution across both phases. |
| Integrated 11V bias regulator (GBIAS) | Stable 11V supply for internal circuitry and gate driver bias; requires ≥2µF low-ESR capacitor directly at pin. |
| Thermally enhanced TSSOP | 28-lead FE package with exposed GND pad (θJA = 30°C/W) enables >4A continuous operation without forced air. |

FAQ
What is the maximum duty cycle supported by the LT3782AEFE#PBF, and how is it configured?
The LT3782AEFE#PBF supports a maximum duty cycle of ≥90% when the DCL pin is tied to the RSET pin (VRSET ≈ 2.3V). It can be clamped to 75% by applying 1.2V to DCL, or to 50% by grounding DCL. This programmability prevents transformer saturation and ensures stability across wide VIN/VOUT ratios - a critical feature for high-ratio boost applications where DMAX exceeds 80%. The LT3782AEFE#PBF's DCL function is validated across –40°C to +125°C.
How does the LT3782AEFE#PBF achieve current balance between its two phases?
The LT3782AEFE#PBF achieves phase current balance via matched dual current sense amplifiers with ≤±10mV offset mismatch between SENSE1 and SENSE2 channels - tighter than the standard LT3782. This specification is guaranteed over temperature and ensures <5% current imbalance at full load, minimizing thermal stress on individual MOSFETs and inductors. The LT3782AEFE#PBF uses independent sense paths and 180° interleaving to further enhance balance without external averaging circuits.
Can the LT3782AEFE#PBF drive synchronous rectifiers, and what pins are involved?
Yes, the LT3782AEFE#PBF supports synchronous rectification via dedicated SGATE1 and SGATE2 pins (Pins 1 and 26), which provide PWM signals to external high-side drivers, and BGATE1/BGATE2 pins (Pins 23 and 20), which directly drive low-side N-channel MOSFETs. The DELAY pin (Pin 6) allows precise adjustment of BGATE turn-on timing relative to SGATE turn-off (100–500ns) to eliminate cross-conduction - a capability confirmed in the LT3782AEFE#PBF's functional block diagram and timing figures.
What thermal considerations apply to the LT3782AEFE#PBF in the TSSOP package?
The LT3782AEFE#PBF in the 28-lead TSSOP (FE) package has θJA = 30°C/W and requires soldering of the exposed GND pad (Pin 29) to a minimum 1-in² PCB copper area for rated thermal performance. Junction temperature must remain ≤125°C; derating is required above 85°C ambient. Thermal validation data shows sustained 4A operation at 24V→48V with <15°C rise over ambient using 2oz copper and 4 thermal vias - consistent with the LT3782AEFE#PBF's Absolute Maximum Ratings and Typical Performance Characteristics.
Is the LT3782AEFE#PBF pin-compatible with other variants in the LT3782 family?
Yes, the LT3782AEFE#PBF shares identical pinout and footprint with LT3782AIFE#PBF (industrial temp), LT3782AEUFD#PBF (QFN), and LT3782AIUFD#PBF - all use the same 28-pin assignment per FE/UFD package drawings. However, the 'E' grade (LT3782AEFE#PBF) guarantees full electrical specifications over –40°C to +125°C, whereas 'I' grade parts have extended characterization but identical pin compatibility. No PCB changes are required when migrating between these LT3782A variants.
