Product details
Overview
LTC1871EMS-1#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a wide-input, current-mode DC/DC controller for boost, flyback, and SEPIC topologies, driving an external N-channel MOSFET without requiring a sense resistor. It operates from 2.5V to 36V input, delivers up to 92% duty cycle, features ±1% internal reference, 100mV RUN pin hysteresis, and supports programmable 50kHz–1MHz switching with external resistor or synchronization via MODE/SYNC pin. It enables high-efficiency telecom and portable power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1871EMS-1#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1871EMS-1#TRPBF pinout, LTC1871EMS-1#TRPBF application, or LTC1871EMS-1#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include no-RSENSE operation using MOSFET RDS(ON), ultra-low pulse-skip threshold for stable light-load frequency, 10-lead MSOP package thermal performance (θJA = 120°C/W), INTVCC LDO regulation at 5.2V, and output overvoltage protection.
Technical Context
The LTC1871EMS-1#TRPBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control with leading-edge blanking, slope compensation, and a micropower RUN comparator with 1.248V falling threshold and 100mV hysteresis. Its error amplifier (gm = 650 μmho) drives the ITH pin to modulate peak current sensing threshold (120–180 mV typical), enabling precise load regulation across input and temperature variations.
It integrates a 5.2V low-dropout regulator (280mV dropout at 20mA) powering gate driver and logic, supports Burst Mode® (250μA IQ) and pulse-skip operation, and allows external synchronization up to 1.3× fOSC. The SENSE pin accepts either VDS sensing (for ≤36V outputs) or source-resistor sensing (for higher outputs), with internal blanking for both configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 36V - supports wide-range industrial, automotive, and telecom inputs without pre-regulation. |
| Switching Frequency | 50kHz to 1MHz - set by single RT resistor; enables optimization of efficiency vs. size in boost/SEPIC/flyback designs. |
| Max Duty Cycle | 92% typical - allows high step-up ratios (e.g., 3.3V→12V) in continuous conduction mode. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.230V ±1% - high-accuracy reference enables tight output voltage regulation (±0.1% line/load regulation). |
| RUN Pin Threshold | 1.248V falling / 1.348V rising with 100mV hysteresis - provides noise-immune, accurate enable/disable control for battery-powered systems. |
| Shutdown IQ | 10μA typical - enables ultra-low-power standby in portable equipment and IoT edge nodes. |
| INTVCC Regulator | 5.2V ±0.2V, 50mA max - powers gate driver and internal circuitry; requires ≥4.7μF local bypass for transient response. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-lead plastic MSOP (3mm × 3mm, 0.5mm pitch), rated for –40°C to +85°C junction temperature (E-grade), θJA = 120°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RUN (1) | Enable/UVLO input | Microamp-level comparator input with 1.248V falling threshold and 100mV hysteresis; controls full IC shutdown (IQ = 10μA). |
| ITH (2) | Error amplifier output | Controls current comparator threshold (0.3V–1.2V range); sets peak inductor current; used for loop compensation. |
| FB (3) | Feedback input | Compares divided output voltage to 1.230V reference; determines regulation accuracy and stability margin. |
| FREQ (4) | Oscillator programming | Accepts RT-to-ground resistor; sets nominal fOSC (50kHz–1MHz); nominal pin voltage = 0.62V. |
| MODE/SYNC (5) | Mode control / sync input | Ground = Burst Mode®; >2V = pulse-skip mode; external clock = synchronization (up to 1.3× fOSC). |
| GND (6) | Power and signal ground | Common return for VIN, INTVCC, SENSE, and gate driver; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| GATE (7) | MOSFET gate driver output | Capable of driving N-channel MOSFET gates; rise/fall times <100ns with 3.3nF load; supports bootstrap operation. |
| INTVCC (8) | Internal LDO output | 5.2V regulated supply for gate driver and logic; requires ≥4.7μF local ceramic/tantalum bypass to GND. |
| VIN (9) | Main input supply | Primary power input (2.5V–36V); powers internal bias circuits and charges INTVCC LDO when VIN > 7.5V. |
| SENSE (10) | Current sense input | Accepts VDS (MOSFET drain) or source-resistor voltage; internal blanking prevents false triggering during switching transitions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No RSENSE™ operation | Uses MOSFET RDS(ON) for current sensing - eliminates power loss and board space of discrete shunt, improving efficiency by up to 3% in 5V→12V boost. |

| Programmable frequency with one resistor | RT resistor sets fOSC from 50kHz to 1MHz - simplifies EMI filtering design and enables trade-off between inductor size and switching loss. |
| Output overvoltage protection | FB overvoltage lockout at +6.5% of 1.230V - asserts reset pulse to PWM latch, holding GATE low during fault to protect downstream loads. |
| Internal 5.2V LDO with 280mV dropout | Supplies gate driver and logic up to 50mA - eliminates need for external bias rail; stable under 20mA load with <0.2% load regulation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DC/DC controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3757EMS#TRPBF | Higher 100V VIN max, integrated VGS clamp, but no Burst Mode®; requires external sense resistor. | Better suited for 48V+ industrial flyback; lacks ultra-low-light-load frequency stability of LTC1871EMS-1#TRPBF. | Select LT3757EMS#TRPBF only when input exceeds 36V or primary-side sensing with clamping is required. |
| TPS40210DRCT | Fixed 1.25V FB reference, no internal LDO, requires external 5V bias; lower max duty cycle (85%). | Lower BOM cost for simple boost; unsuitable for standalone operation from wide input without auxiliary supply. | Choose TPS40210DRCT only if external 5V rail exists and efficiency at light load is not critical. |
Compared with LT3757EMS#TRPBF and TPS40210DRCT, the LTC1871EMS-1#TRPBF uniquely combines no-RSENSE operation, ultra-low pulse-skip threshold for constant-frequency light-load behavior, and self-contained 5.2V LDO - making it optimal for space- and efficiency-constrained 2.5V–36V boost/SEPIC/flyback designs where component count and thermal management are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC1871EMS-1#TRPBF?
The LTC1871EMS-1#TRPBF has an absolute maximum VIN rating of 36V, with guaranteed operation from 2.5V to 36V. Exceeding 36V on VIN risks permanent damage. For applications requiring >36V input, consider the LT3757EMS#TRPBF, which supports up to 100V VIN and includes integrated VGS clamping.
How does the LTC1871EMS-1#TRPBF achieve no-RSENSE operation?
The LTC1871EMS-1#TRPBF senses current by measuring the voltage drop across the power MOSFET's RDS(ON) via the SENSE pin connected to the MOSFET drain. This eliminates the power loss and board area of a discrete sense resistor. For higher output voltages (>36V), the SENSE pin can instead connect to a source-resistor for precise current control.
What is the purpose of the MODE/SYNC pin on the LTC1871EMS-1#TRPBF?
The MODE/SYNC pin on the LTC1871EMS-1#TRPBF selects operating mode: grounded → Burst Mode® (low IQ at light load); tied to INTVCC → pulse-skip mode (fixed-frequency discontinuous conduction); driven by external clock → synchronization (fSYNC up to 1.3× fOSC). It also provides internal 50kΩ pull-down when open.
Can the LTC1871EMS-1#TRPBF be used in flyback topology with primary-side regulation?
Yes - the LTC1871EMS-1#TRPBF supports flyback operation with primary-side regulation using the SENSE pin to monitor reflected output voltage via an auxiliary winding. Its current-mode architecture and slope compensation ensure stability across variable duty cycles, and the 92% max duty cycle accommodates wide input/output ratios common in isolated designs.
What thermal considerations apply to the LTC1871EMS-1#TRPBF in high-frequency, high-current applications?
The LTC1871EMS-1#TRPBF in 10-lead MSOP has θJA = 120°C/W. Gate charge current (QG × fOSC) dominates total supply current at high frequencies. For example, at 500kHz with QG = 37nC, IQ(TOT) ≈ 19.1mA - requiring careful PCB layout, copper pour, and ambient derating to keep TJ < 125°C.
