Product details
Overview
LTC1871HMS#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 discrete sense resistor. It operates from 2.5V to 36V input, delivers up to 92% duty cycle, supports 50kHz–1MHz programmable switching frequency, and features Burst Mode® operation for <10μA shutdown current-ideal for battery-powered telecom and portable power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1871HMS#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1871HMS#TRPBF pinout, LTC1871HMS#TRPBF application, or LTC1871HMS#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its no-RSENSE™ current sensing via MOSFET RDS(ON), ±2% RUN pin threshold with 100mV hysteresis, internal 5.2V LDO, output overvoltage protection, and H-grade temperature rating (–40°C to +150°C).
Technical Context
The LTC1871HMS#TRPBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control using slope-compensated PWM, where the ITH pin voltage sets the peak inductor current threshold. Its SENSE pin supports dual sensing methods: direct VDS sensing across the MOSFET (for ≤36V output) or shunt-resistor-based sensing in the source path (for higher output voltages).
Operating mode is selected via the MODE/SYNC pin: grounded for Burst Mode® (micropower light-load operation), tied to INTVCC for pulse-skip mode (fixed-frequency DCM), or driven by an external clock up to 1.3×fOSC for synchronized noise control. The internal 1.230V reference and error amplifier provide tight output regulation with ±1% accuracy over temperature.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 10-lead plastic MSOP (10-Lead Plastic MSOP), exposed pad for thermal enhancement, θJA = 120°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RUN (Pin 1) | Enable/UVLO input | Starts converter when VIN exceeds 1.348V; shuts down below 1.248V with 100mV hysteresis for noise immunity. |
| ITH (Pin 2) | Error amplifier output | Sets current comparator threshold; 0.3V–1.4V range controls peak inductor current and load transient response. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost/flyback controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3757EMSE#TRPBF | Higher 100V VIN max, integrated high-side gate driver, no internal LDO - requires external bias supply. | Better suited for 48V+ industrial flyback; lacks no-RSENSE™ and Burst Mode® optimization for sub-100μA loads. | Select when input exceeds 36V or synchronous rectification timing is required; not drop-in due to different pinout and bias architecture. |
| TPS40210DGQ | TI part with 4.5V–52V input, fixed 500kHz fOSC, no programmable frequency or Burst Mode® - higher 1.5mA no-load IQ. | Targeted at cost-sensitive industrial SMPS; lacks H-grade temp rating and precision RUN threshold. | Choose for fixed-frequency, non-battery applications where 150°C operation and micropower shutdown are not required. |
Compared with LT3757EMSE#TRPBF and TPS40210DGQ, the LTC1871HMS#TRPBF uniquely combines no-RSENSE™ efficiency, programmable Burst Mode®, and guaranteed 150°C operation - making it the only option for compact, high-temp, ultra-low-IQ boost/flyback designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the LTC1871HMS#TRPBF?
The LTC1871HMS#TRPBF supports an absolute maximum input voltage of 36V on the VIN pin, with continuous operation specified from 2.5V to 36V. Exceeding 36V may cause permanent damage. For applications requiring >36V input, consider alternative controllers such as the LT3757EMSE#TRPBF, which supports up to 100V.
Does the LTC1871HMS#TRPBF require an external current sense resistor?
No, the LTC1871HMS#TRPBF implements No-RSENSE™ technology, using the power MOSFET's RDS(ON) for current sensing - eliminating the need for an external sense resistor and associated power loss. However, for output voltages exceeding 36V, a shunt resistor in the MOSFET source path can be used via the SENSE pin.
What is the purpose of the MODE/SYNC pin on the LTC1871HMS#TRPBF?
The MODE/SYNC pin on the LTC1871HMS#TRPBF selects operating mode: grounded for Burst Mode® (ultra-low IQ at light loads), tied to INTVCC for pulse-skip mode (fixed-frequency DCM), or driven by an external clock for synchronization up to 1.3×fOSC. It also provides internal 50kΩ pull-down when left open.
How does the RUN pin function in the LTC1871HMS#TRPBF?
The RUN pin on the LTC1871HMS#TRPBF provides accurate enable/disable control with a rising threshold of 1.348V and falling threshold of 1.248V (100mV hysteresis). When below threshold, the IC enters shutdown with 10μA typical IQ. It remains active even in shutdown, enabling reliable cold-crank detection in automotive systems.
What package type and thermal characteristics does the LTC1871HMS#TRPBF have?
The LTC1871HMS#TRPBF uses a 10-lead MSOP package with exposed thermal pad. Its junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) is 120°C/W. The H-grade version is fully specified from –40°C to +150°C junction temperature, with guaranteed performance and reliability across that full range.
