Product details
Overview
LTC1871IMS-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 discrete sense resistor. It operates from 2.5V to 36V input, delivers ±1% feedback reference accuracy, supports 50kHz–1MHz programmable switching frequency, and features 92% typical max duty cycle-enabling high-efficiency telecom power supplies and portable equipment.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1871IMS-1#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1871IMS-1#TRPBF pinout, LTC1871IMS-1#TRPBF application, or LTC1871IMS-1#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-low pulse-skip threshold for stable light-load operation, integrated 5.2V LDO regulator, no-RSENSE™ sensing architecture, and MODE/SYNC pin support for external clock synchronization up to 1.3× fOSC.
Technical Context
The LTC1871IMS-1#TRPBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control with leading-edge blanking and slope compensation, using the power MOSFET's RDS(ON) for current sensing to eliminate sense-resistor losses. Its error amplifier (650 μmho transconductance) drives the ITH pin to modulate peak inductor current, while internal 1.230V reference and ±1% FB voltage tolerance ensure precise output regulation.
It integrates a P-channel LDO delivering 5.2V at up to 50mA for gate driver and logic supply, with 280mV dropout at 20mA load. The RUN pin provides micropower enable/disable with 1.248V falling threshold and 100mV hysteresis, reducing shutdown current to 10μA. Pulse-skip mode is user-selectable via MODE/SYNC pin, and oscillator synchronization supports noise-sensitive systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the LTC1871IMS-1#TRPBF?
The LTC1871IMS-1#TRPBF supports an absolute maximum input voltage of 36V on the VIN pin and 36V on the SENSE pin. Its operational input range is specified from 2.5V to 36V, making it suitable for 24V industrial systems and automotive cold-crank scenarios. Exceeding 36V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
How does the no-RSENSE™ feature work in the LTC1871IMS-1#TRPBF?
The LTC1871IMS-1#TRPBF senses current by measuring the voltage drop across the RDS(ON) of the external N-channel MOSFET via the SENSE pin-eliminating the power loss and board area of a discrete sense resistor. This method is valid only when VSW < 36V; for higher output voltages, a shunt resistor in the MOSFET source is required.
Can the LTC1871IMS-1#TRPBF be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, the LTC1871IMS-1#TRPBF can be synchronized to an external clock applied to the MODE/SYNC pin. It locks to frequencies between 100% and 130% of its nominal oscillator frequency (fOSC). The external signal must exceed 2V for ≥25ns with ≤80% duty cycle, and synchronization increases internal slope compensation by ~30% to maintain stability.
What is the purpose of the RUN pin on the LTC1871IMS-1#TRPBF?
The RUN pin on the LTC1871IMS-1#TRPBF provides precise micropower enable/disable control with a 1.248V falling threshold and 100mV hysteresis. When pulled below threshold, the IC enters shutdown mode drawing only 10μA. It remains active during shutdown, allowing accurate input UVLO programming using an external resistor divider.
Does the LTC1871IMS-1#TRPBF include overvoltage protection?
Yes, the LTC1871IMS-1#TRPBF includes output overvoltage protection via an internal comparator monitoring the FB pin. If FB exceeds the 1.230V reference by 6.5% (i.e., 2.5V for a 5V output), the comparator resets the main PWM latch, forcing GATE low and holding the MOSFET off until the fault clears-preventing downstream component damage.
