Product details
Overview
LTC1871EMS-7#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a current-mode DC/DC controller IC optimized for high-input-voltage boost, flyback, and SEPIC topologies, driving 6V-rated MOSFETs in telecom housekeeping supplies, 42V automotive systems, and 24V industrial controls. It features a programmable 50kHz–1MHz switching frequency, 92% typical maximum duty cycle, ±1% internal 1.230V reference, and integrated 7V LDO regulator with 5.6V/4.6V UVLO thresholds.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1871EMS-7#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1871EMS-7#TRPBF pinout, LTC1871EMS-7#TRPBF application, or LTC1871EMS-7#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its burst mode operation at light loads (IQ = 280µA), RUN pin threshold hysteresis (100mV), INTVCC-regulated gate drive capability, and compatibility with no-RSENSE sensing for VDS < 36V.
Technical Context
The LTC1871EMS-7#TRPBF implements a constant-frequency, current-mode control architecture with slope compensation, supporting CCM and DCM operation. Its error amplifier (gm = 600 µmho) drives the ITH pin to modulate peak current comparator threshold, enabling fast transient response and stable loop behavior across wide input (6V–36V) and output voltage ranges.
Internal circuitry includes a 7V LDO (INTVCC) powering gate driver and logic, a micropower RUN pin comparator (1.248V falling threshold, 100mV hysteresis), and MODE/SYNC pin logic that selects between Burst Mode (pin grounded), pulse-skip mode (pin tied to INTVCC), or external clock synchronization (up to 1.3×fOSC).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Frequency Range | 50kHz to 1MHz, set by single resistor on FREQ pin - enables tradeoff between efficiency (lower f) and size (higher f) |
| Max Duty Cycle | 92% typical - supports high step-up ratios in boost/flyback, e.g., 36V input to 12V output with margin |
| INTVCC Regulator | 7.0V ±0.5V output, 50mA max - powers gate driver and internal logic; UVLO at 5.6V rise / 4.6V fall prevents weak gate drive |
| Feedback Reference | 1.230V ±0.012V - sets output voltage accuracy; line/load regulation ≤0.02%/V and ≤0.1% ensures stable regulation across conditions |
| RUN Pin Threshold | 1.248V falling, 1.348V rising, 100mV hysteresis - enables precise, noise-immune input voltage enable/disable control |
| Shutdown Quiescent Current | 12µA typical - enables battery-backed or low-power standby operation without significant drain |
| SENSE Pin Threshold | 150mV typical - defines current limit point; supports both MOSFET RDS(ON) sensing (VDS < 36V) and external shunt sensing |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-lead MSOP (3mm × 3mm), 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 | Microampere-biased comparator input; 1.248V falling threshold enables precise input voltage turn-on/off control with 100mV hysteresis |
| ITH (2) | Error amplifier output | Drives current comparator threshold; 0.3V–1.23V range corresponds to 0–100% load, enabling direct current-mode loop compensation |
| FB (3) | Feedback input | Compares output divider voltage to 1.230V reference; ±1% tolerance ensures accurate output voltage setting |
| FREQ (4) | Oscillator programming | Sinks constant current to ground via external resistor; 0.62V nominal voltage enables 50kHz–1MHz frequency selection |
| MODE/SYNC (5) | Mode control & sync input | Configures Burst Mode (ground), continuous/pulse-skip (INTVCC), or external clock sync (2V–7V pulses, min 25ns) |
| GND (6) | Power and signal ground | Common return for all analog and power circuits; requires low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling |
| GATE (7) | MOSFET gate driver output | Capable of driving ≥3300pF load; 17ns rise / 8ns fall time supports fast-switching 6V-rated MOSFETs |
| INTVCC (8) | Internal LDO output | 7V regulated supply for gate driver and core logic; must be bypassed with ≥4.7µF ceramic capacitor adjacent to pin |
| VIN (9) | Main power input | Accepts 6V–36V input; powers INTVCC LDO and supplies bias current; requires local high-frequency decoupling |
| SENSE (10) | Current sense input | Accepts voltage from MOSFET source (shunt) or drain (no-RSENSE); 150mV threshold with leading-edge blanking rejects switching noise |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-RSENSE™ sensing | Enables direct SENSE pin connection to MOSFET drain for VDS < 36V - eliminates sense resistor, improves efficiency, reduces BOM count |

| High-duty-cycle capability | 92% typical max duty cycle - supports wide input ranges (e.g., 36V–72V telecom) with minimal external component stress |
| Wide VIN range (6V–36V) | Operates directly from 12V/24V/42V rails without pre-regulation - reduces system complexity in automotive and industrial power supplies |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current-mode boost/flyback controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3757EMS-7#TRPBF | Higher 100V VIN rating; 1.25V FB reference; no built-in 7V LDO - requires external bias supply | Better suited for >60V industrial or AC/DC front-end applications; lacks integrated INTVCC for 6V-MOSFET optimization | Select LT3757EMS-7#TRPBF only if input exceeds 36V or higher FB accuracy (±0.5%) is required; not drop-in compatible due to different bias architecture. |
| UCC28C43DR | Fixed 275kHz frequency; 1.0V FB reference; no burst mode; 16V max VIN - requires external LDO for >16V inputs | Lower cost for fixed-frequency, non-battery applications; lacks light-load efficiency features and high-VIN capability | Choose UCC28C43DR for cost-sensitive, line-powered 24V systems where burst mode and wide VIN are unnecessary; requires redesign of bias and sensing networks. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the LTC1871EMS-7#TRPBF?
The LTC1871EMS-7#TRPBF supports a maximum input voltage of 36V on the VIN pin, with absolute maximum rating of –0.3V to 36V. Exceeding this may cause permanent damage. The internal INTVCC LDO has a separate 9V absolute maximum rating, but its operating range is limited to 6V–36V input for proper regulation. For inputs above 36V, external pre-regulation is required before applying voltage to VIN.
How does the RUN pin function in the LTC1871EMS-7#TRPBF?
The RUN pin on the LTC1871EMS-7#TRPBF provides precise enable/disable control via an internal 1.248V reference comparator with 100mV hysteresis. When the RUN voltage falls below 1.248V, the IC enters shutdown mode with ~12µA quiescent current. Rising above 1.348V re-enables operation. This allows accurate input voltage threshold programming using an external resistor divider - essential for cold-crank detection in automotive systems.
Can the LTC1871EMS-7#TRPBF drive MOSFETs without an external current sense resistor?
Yes, the LTC1871EMS-7#TRPBF supports No-RSENSE™ operation by connecting the SENSE pin directly to the MOSFET drain, provided VDS remains below 36V. This uses the MOSFET's RDS(ON) as the current sense element, eliminating the shunt resistor and associated losses. For VDS > 36V or precise current limiting, connect SENSE to a source-side shunt resistor instead.
What is the purpose of the MODE/SYNC pin on the LTC1871EMS-7#TRPBF?
The MODE/SYNC pin on the LTC1871EMS-7#TRPBF configures operating mode and enables external clock synchronization. Grounding it enables Burst Mode for lowest light-load IQ. Tying it to INTVCC disables Burst Mode for pulse-skip operation. Applying a logic-level clock (≥2V, ≥25ns pulse width) synchronizes the internal oscillator up to 1.3× its nominal frequency - reducing EMI by controlling switching harmonics.
What package type and temperature grade does the LTC1871EMS-7#TRPBF use?
The LTC1871EMS-7#TRPBF is supplied in a 10-lead MSOP package (3mm × 3mm) with lead-free finish and tape-and-reel packaging (#TRPBF suffix). It is rated for an operating junction temperature range of –40°C to +85°C (E-grade), with thermal resistance θJA = 120°C/W. This makes it suitable for commercial and industrial environments where moderate ambient temperatures and board-level airflow are present.
