Product details
Overview
LTC3769HFE#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-performance synchronous boost controller driving all-N-channel MOSFET stages for industrial and automotive DC-DC conversion. It operates from 4.5V to 60V input, delivers up to 60V output, features ±1% 1.200V reference accuracy, 28μA quiescent current, and supports RSENSE or DCR current sensing in a thermally enhanced 20-lead TSSOP package rated for –40°C to 150°C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3769HFE#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3769HFE#TRPBF pinout, LTC3769HFE#TRPBF application, or LTC3769HFE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include wide VIN range (2.3V post-startup), programmable 50kHz–900kHz switching frequency, phase-lockable operation, 100% duty cycle capability, and integrated power-good monitoring with overvoltage protection.
Technical Context
The LTC3769HFE#TRPBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control with an internal error amplifier comparing VFB to a precision 1.200V reference, modulating ITH to regulate peak inductor current. Its dual-gate drivers support synchronous rectification with programmable dead-time control, enabling high-efficiency boost topologies without external diodes.
It integrates dual LDOs-one powered from VBIAS (4.5V–60V), another switchover-enabled from EXTVCC (up to 14V)-to supply INTVCC at 5.4V with ±2% load regulation. The PLLIN/MODE pin selects light-load behavior (Burst Mode®, pulse-skipping, or forced continuous conduction), while OVMODE configures overvoltage response (latched TG-on or normal regulation).
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-enables battery-backed or wide-input industrial systems. |
| VOUT Max | 60V regulated output-supports high-voltage LED strings, industrial sensors, and legacy 48V bus interfaces. |
| Reference Voltage | ±1% 1.200V over –40°C to 150°C-ensures stable output regulation across extended temperature environments. |
| IQ (No Load) | 28μA in pulse-skipping/forced continuous mode-extends runtime in always-on battery-powered applications. |
| Switching Frequency | Programmable 50kHz–900kHz or phase-lockable 75kHz–850kHz-allows EMI optimization and inductor size reduction. |
| Current Sensing | RSENSE or inductor DCR-eliminates sense resistor losses in high-current designs while maintaining accuracy. |

Pinout & Package
Package: 20-Lead Plastic TSSOP (FE), exposed pad (Pin 21) soldered to PCB for thermal and electrical grounding. θJA = 38°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VBIAS (Pin 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 (Pin 2) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Pulls low when VFB deviates >±10% from 1.200V for ≥45μs-provides reliable system-level fault signaling. |
| ILIM (Pin 3) | Peak current sense threshold select | GND/float/INTVCC sets 50mV/75mV/100mV current limit-configures overcurrent protection without external resistors. |
| GND (Pins 4, 21) | Signal and power ground | Multiple GND pins + exposed pad ensure low-impedance return path and thermal dissipation. |
| PLLIN/MODE (Pin 5) | Light-load mode & sync input | Selects Burst Mode® (GND), pulse-skipping (1.2V–INTVCC–1.3V), or forced CCM (INTVCC); accepts external clock for synchronization. |
| RUN (Pin 6) | Enable/shutdown control | 1.28V threshold for soft shutdown; <0.7V forces full shutdown with 4μA IQ-supports sequenced power-up and fail-safe disable. |
| SS (Pin 7) | Soft-start ramp control | Internal 10μA current charges external capacitor-linearly ramps VOUT to prevent inrush and overshoot. |
| SENSE– (Pin 8) | Negative current sense input | Connects to low-side of sense resistor; common-mode range 2.3V–60V-enables high-side or low-side sensing in noisy environments. |
| SENSE+ (Pin 9) | Positive current sense input | Supplies current comparator bias; supports RSENSE or DCR sensing with ±1μA input current-reduces offset errors. |
| VFB (Pin 10) | Feedback voltage input | Compares to 1.200V reference; ±50nA input current minimizes divider error-enables precise remote sensing. |
| ITH (Pin 11) | Error amplifier output & current limit setpoint | Directly controls peak inductor current; 2mmho transconductance enables stable loop compensation. |
| OVMODE (Pin 12) | Overvoltage response selector | GND enables latched TG-on during overvoltage; INTVCC disables OV latch-configurable safety behavior per system requirements. |
| SW (Pin 13) | Switch node connection | Connects to source of synchronous FET and drain of main FET-high dv/dt node requiring tight layout and low-inductance routing. |
| TG (Pin 14) | Top gate driver output | Drives gate of synchronous N-MOSFET; 1.2Ω pull-up/pull-down enables fast switching with minimal gate charge loss. |
| BOOST (Pin 15) | Floating supply for TG driver | Bypassed to SW via capacitor; supplies bootstrap voltage for high-side gate drive-enables 100% duty cycle operation. |
| BG (Pin 16) | Bottom gate driver output | Drives gate of main N-MOSFET; matched timing with TG ensures controlled dead time and prevents shoot-through. |
| EXTVCC (Pin 18) | External INTVCC supply input | Switchover at 4.5V–5.0V; bypasses VBIAS LDO to reduce power loss-ideal for systems with auxiliary 5V/12V rails. |
| INTVCC (Pins 2, 17) | Internal 5.4V LDO output | Powers gate drivers and control logic; requires ≥4.7μF ceramic capacitor-critical for stable high-current switching. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the LTC3769HFE#TRPBF can withstand?
The LTC3769HFE#TRPBF has an absolute maximum VBIAS rating of 65V. Its operational input range is 4.5V to 60V, and it can sustain operation down to 2.3V after startup when biased from the output rail. This makes the LTC3769HFE#TRPBF suitable for transient-heavy automotive and industrial 48V systems where load dump spikes must be tolerated without damage.
Does the LTC3769HFE#TRPBF support both RSENSE and inductor DCR current sensing?
Yes, the LTC3769HFE#TRPBF supports both RSENSE and inductor DCR current sensing methods. Its SENSE+ and SENSE– inputs feature a 2.3V to 60V common-mode range and ±1μA input bias current, enabling accurate sensing in high-side or low-side configurations. The ILIM pin selects peak sense thresholds (50/75/100mV), making the LTC3769HFE#TRPBF adaptable to efficiency-critical designs where DCR eliminates sense resistor losses.
How does the PGOOD pin on the LTC3769HFE#TRPBF behave during overvoltage conditions?
The PGOOD pin on the LTC3769HFE#TRPBF goes low when VFB deviates more than ±10% from the 1.200V reference for at least 45μs-providing noise-immune power-good signaling. During overvoltage, PGOOD behavior is independent of OVMODE configuration; however, OVMODE determines whether TG is latched on (OVMODE = GND) or regulated normally (OVMODE = INTVCC). Thus, PGOOD remains a reliable system monitor regardless of overvoltage response mode in the LTC3769HFE#TRPBF.
Can the LTC3769HFE#TRPBF operate with 100% duty cycle, and what design benefit does that provide?
Yes, the LTC3769HFE#TRPBF supports true 100% duty cycle operation by sustaining the top gate (TG) drive continuously. This allows the output voltage to track the input voltage when VIN ≥ VOUT-enabling seamless buck-boost behavior without external diodes or complex control schemes. In applications like automotive cold-crank support or industrial brownout ride-through, the LTC3769HFE#TRPBF maintains regulated output even as input sags below nominal, improving system resilience.
What is the purpose of the EXTVCC pin on the LTC3769HFE#TRPBF, and how does it affect efficiency?
The EXTVCC pin on the LTC3769HFE#TRPBF provides an alternative input to the internal 5.4V LDO that powers INTVCC. When EXTVCC exceeds ~4.8V, the device switches from the VBIAS-based LDO to the EXTVCC-based LDO, bypassing the VBIAS regulator's dropout loss. This reduces power dissipation-especially beneficial in high-VIN applications (e.g., 48V input) where VBIAS LDO losses would otherwise degrade overall efficiency. Using EXTVCC improves thermal performance and extends the effective input range of the LTC3769HFE#TRPBF.
