Product details
Overview
LTC3769EUF#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-performance synchronous boost controller driving dual N-channel MOSFETs in high-efficiency DC/DC conversion. It supports 4.5V–60V input, delivers up to 60V output, features ±1% 1.200V reference accuracy, 28μA quiescent current, and operates down to 2.3V after startup-enabling long runtime in battery-powered industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3769EUF#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3769EUF#TRPBF pinout, LTC3769EUF#TRPBF application, or LTC3769EUF#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include wide VIN range with sub-2.3V post-startup operation, programmable 50kHz–900kHz switching frequency, RSENSE/DCR current sensing flexibility, 100% duty cycle capability, and thermally enhanced 4mm × 4mm QFN package for high-power density designs.
Technical Context
The LTC3769EUF#TRPBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control with an internal error amplifier, transconductance EA (2 mmho), and precision 1.200V reference (±1% over temperature). Its dual-gate drivers support independent top (TG) and bottom (BG) MOSFET control with 20ns rise/fall times and 30ns dead-time control, enabling efficient synchronous rectification without external timing components.
It integrates phase-lockable PLL synchronization (75kHz–850kHz), selectable light-load modes (Burst Mode®, pulse-skipping, forced continuous), and robust protection including PGOOD monitoring (±10% VFB trip), overvoltage mode selection (OVMODE), and UVLO on INTVCC (3.6V/3.8V hysteresis). Power is sourced via VBIAS (4.5V–60V) or EXTVCC (4.5V–14V), with internal 5.4V LDOs for gate drive and logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 4.5V to 60V input; operates down to 2.3V after startup when biased from VOUT-supports wide battery chemistries and brownout resilience. |
| VOUT Max | Up to 60V regulated output-enables high-voltage rails for industrial sensors, LED drivers, and medical imaging subsystems. |
| VFB Accuracy | ±1% (1.188V–1.212V) at –40°C to 125°C-ensures stable regulation across automotive and industrial temperature ranges. |
| IQ (No Load) | 28μA in pulse-skipping/forced continuous mode-extends battery life in portable test equipment and remote IoT nodes. |
| fSW Range | Programmable 50kHz–900kHz or PLL-synchronized 75kHz–850kHz-allows EMI optimization and inductor size reduction. |
| Current Sense | RSENSE or DCR sensing with 42mV/68mV/90mV thresholds (ILIM = GND/FLOAT/INTVCC)-supports flexible, low-loss current measurement. |
| Package | 24-pin 4mm × 4mm QFN with exposed thermal pad-provides θJA = 47°C/W for high-power boost stages up to 120W. |
Pinout & Package
Thermally enhanced 24-pin (4mm × 4mm) plastic QFN package with exposed GND pad (Pin 25) requiring PCB soldering for rated electrical and thermal performance (θJA = 47°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VBIAS (1) | Main bias supply input | Accepts 4.5V–60V; powers internal circuits and enables operation down to 2.3V post-startup when tied to VOUT. |
| PGOOD (2) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Asserts low when VFB deviates >±10% from 1.2V for ≥45μs-enables system-level fault detection and sequencing. |
| ILIM (3) | Peak current sense threshold select | Ground/FLOAT/INTVCC sets 50mV/75mV/100mV current limit-configures sensing gain without external resistors. |
| INTVCC (5,22) | Internal 5.4V LDO output | Powers gate drivers and control logic; requires ≥4.7μF ceramic bypass to GND for stability. |
| FREQ (7) | Oscillator frequency programming | Resistor-to-GND or DC voltage sets 50kHz–900kHz; GND/INTVCC forces 350kHz/535kHz fixed frequency. |
| GND (8,10,24,25) | Signal and power ground | All pins must connect to common ground plane; exposed pad (25) is mandatory GND for thermal and EMI performance. |
| PLLIN/MODE (9) | Sync input / light-load mode control | External clock sync or selects Burst Mode® (GND), pulse-skipping (1.2V–INTVCC–1.3V), or forced continuous (INTVCC). |
| RUN (11) | Enable/shutdown control | 1.18V–1.38V rising threshold; <0.7V shutdown draws only 4μA-supports precise undervoltage lockout with resistor divider. |
| SS (12) | Soft-start ramp control | 10μA internal current charges external capacitor-linearly ramps VOUT from 0V to final value, preventing inrush current. |
| SENSE– (13), SENSE+ (14) | Differential current sense inputs | 2.3V–60V common-mode range; measures inductor current via RSENSE or DCR-enables lossless sensing in high-side configurations. |
| VFB (15) | Feedback voltage input | Compares output divider voltage to 1.200V reference-closed-loop regulation with ±5nA input bias minimizes divider error. |
| ITH (16) | Error amplifier output / current limit threshold | Voltage sets peak inductor current; also serves as compensation node for loop stability tuning. |
| OVMODE (17) | Overvoltage response selector | GND enables OV protection (TG forced on); INTVCC disables OV action-configures fail-safe behavior in critical systems. |
| SW (18) | Switch node connection | Connects to source of synchronous MOSFET, drain of main MOSFET, and inductor-high dv/dt node requiring tight layout. |
| TG (19) | Top gate driver output | Drives gate of synchronous N-MOSFET; integrated charge pump enables high-side N-FET use without external bootstrap. |
| BOOST (20) | Floating supply for TG driver | Bypassed to SW with capacitor; powered by Schottky diode from INTVCC-maintains gate drive during high-duty cycles. |
| BG (21) | Bottom gate driver output | Drives gate of main N-MOSFET; complements TG for synchronous rectification-reduces conduction losses vs. diode. |
| EXTVCC (23) | External bias input for INTVCC LDO | Enables 4.5V–14V auxiliary supply to power INTVCC, bypassing VBIAS LDO-lowers thermal dissipation in high-VIN applications. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage for LTC3769EUF#TRPBF after startup?
The LTC3769EUF#TRPBF can operate down to 2.3V after startup when VBIAS is powered from the boost output (VOUT) or another auxiliary supply. This feature enables reliable operation during automotive cold-crank events or deep battery discharge conditions, provided the initial startup occurs within the 4.5V–60V nominal input range.
How does the ILIM pin configure current sensing thresholds on LTC3769EUF#TRPBF?
The ILIM pin on LTC3769EUF#TRPBF selects three fixed current sense thresholds: grounding sets 50mV, floating sets 75mV, and connecting to INTVCC sets 100mV. These correspond to peak inductor current limits when using RSENSE sensing, eliminating the need for external scaling resistors and simplifying design for varying power levels.
Can LTC3769EUF#TRPBF synchronize to an external clock, and what is its sync frequency range?
Yes, LTC3769EUF#TRPBF supports external synchronization via the PLLIN/MODE pin. Its phase-locked loop accepts external clocks from 75kHz to 850kHz, allowing precise switching frequency alignment in multi-converter systems to avoid beat frequencies and reduce conducted EMI in sensitive applications like medical imaging.
What thermal performance can be expected from the LTC3769EUF#TRPBF QFN package?
The LTC3769EUF#TRPBF uses a 24-pin 4mm × 4mm QFN with exposed thermal pad, achieving θJA = 47°C/W under standard JEDEC conditions. With proper PCB copper area and thermal vias under the exposed pad, it reliably supports continuous 120W boost operation at ambient temperatures up to 85°C without derating.
Does LTC3769EUF#TRPBF support both RSENSE and inductor DCR current sensing?
Yes, LTC3769EUF#TRPBF supports both methods: RSENSE sensing via differential SENSE+ and SENSE– pins with 2.3V–60V common-mode range, and inductor DCR sensing using the same pins with optional RC network filtering. The choice depends on efficiency targets-DCR eliminates sense resistor losses but requires careful layout to reject noise.
