Product details
Overview
LTC3769HUF#PBF 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-ideal for industrial 12V-to-24V/5A power rails requiring thermal resilience.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3769HUF#PBF datasheet, LTC3769HUF#PBF pinout, LTC3769HUF#PBF application, or LTC3769HUF#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its –40°C to 150°C junction-rated QFN package, programmable 50kHz–900kHz switching frequency, RSENSE/DCR current sensing flexibility, 100% duty cycle capability, and phase-lockable PLLIN interface for system-level clock synchronization.
Technical Context
The LTC3769HUF#PBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control with an internal error amplifier (2 mmho transconductance), precision 1.200V ±1% reference, and independent ITH-based peak current regulation. Its architecture supports three light-load modes-Burst Mode® (28μA IQ), pulse-skipping, and forced continuous-selected via the PLLIN/MODE pin.
It integrates dual gate drivers (TG/BG) with 20ns rise/fall times, 1.2Ω pull-up/pull-down resistance, and 30ns dead-time control. The INTVCC LDO (5.4V ±2%) can be powered from VBIAS (4.5V–60V) or EXTVCC (4.5V–14V), enabling efficient biasing from output or auxiliary rails-critical for low-input-voltage post-startup operation down to 2.3V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 60V; operates down to 2.3V after startup when biased from VOUT-enables wide battery and industrial supply compatibility. |
| Output Voltage Range | Up to 60V regulated; set via external resistor divider on VFB-supports high-side boost for LED drivers and industrial sensors. |
| Reference Voltage Accuracy | ±1% at 1.200V over –40°C to 150°C-ensures stable output regulation across extended temperature extremes. |
| Quiescent Current | 28μA in no-load pulse-skipping mode-extends runtime in battery-powered systems like portable medical monitors. |
| Switching Frequency Range | 50kHz to 900kHz (programmable); 75kHz to 850kHz (PLL-synchronized)-allows EMI optimization and inductor size reduction. |
| Current Sense Threshold | Selectable 42mV/68mV/90mV via ILIM pin-enables precise overcurrent protection with RSENSE or DCR sensing. |
| Thermal Rating | Junction temperature range –40°C to 150°C (H-grade); θJA = 47°C/W in 4mm × 4mm QFN-validated for under-hood automotive and harsh-environment use. |
Pinout & Package
Thermally enhanced 24-pin 4mm × 4mm plastic QFN package with exposed pad (Pin 25) soldered to PCB ground for optimal thermal dissipation (θJA = 47°C/W). Pin count and layout match LTC3769EUF/IUF/MPUF variants; H-grade qualification confirms full operation at TJ = 150°C.
| 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; 45μs delay prevents false trips during transients. |
| ILIM (Pin 3) | Peak current sense threshold select | GND/float/INTVCC sets 50mV/75mV/100mV trip point-configures overcurrent protection without external components. |
| INTVCC (Pins 5, 22) | Internal 5.4V LDO output | Supplies gate drivers and control logic; bypassed with ≥4.7μF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability. |
| FREQ (Pin 7) | Oscillator frequency programming | Resistor-to-GND sets 50kHz–900kHz; voltage input or sync signal enables precise EMI control. |
| GND (Pins 8, 10, 24, Exposed Pad 25) | Signal and power ground | All pins must connect to common ground plane; exposed pad soldering mandatory for thermal and electrical performance. |
| PLLIN/MODE (Pin 9) | External clock sync & light-load mode select | Enables PLL synchronization (75kHz–850kHz) or selects Burst Mode®/pulse-skipping/forced continuous operation. |
| RUN (Pin 11) | Enable/shutdown control | 1.28V threshold enables operation; <0.7V reduces IQ to 4μA-supports system-level power sequencing. |
| SS (Pin 12) | Soft-start ramp control | 10μA internal current charges external capacitor-linearly ramps VOUT to prevent inrush current stress. |
| SENSE– / SENSE+ (Pins 13, 14) | Differential current sense inputs | Support 2.3V–60V common-mode range; enable accurate RSENSE or DCR sensing for lossless current monitoring. |
| VFB (Pin 15) | Feedback voltage input | Compares output divider voltage to 1.200V reference-determines regulation accuracy and loop stability. |
| ITH (Pin 16) | Error amplifier output & current limit threshold | Voltage sets peak inductor current; also serves as compensation node for loop tuning. |
| OVMODE (Pin 17) | Overvoltage protection mode select | GND enables OV shutdown (TG forced on); INTVCC disables OV action-configurable safety response. |
| SW (Pin 18) | Switch node connection | Connects to source of synchronous FET and drain of main FET-critical high-dV/dt node requiring tight layout. |
| TG (Pin 19) | Top gate driver output | Drives gate of synchronous N-MOSFET; 20ns rise/fall time supports high-frequency, low-loss switching. |
| BOOST (Pin 20) | Floating supply for TG driver | Bypassed to SW with capacitor; charged via Schottky from INTVCC-enables high-side N-FET drive. |
| BG (Pin 21) | Bottom gate driver output | Drives gate of main N-MOSFET; matched timing with TG ensures robust dead-time control. |
| EXTVCC (Pin 23) | External bias input for INTVCC LDO | Activates alternate LDO when >4.8V applied-reduces VBIAS dissipation and improves efficiency at high VIN. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC3769HUF#PBF?
The LTC3769HUF#PBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 65V on the VBIAS pin, with recommended continuous operation up to 60V. Its wide 4.5V–60V input range supports diverse battery chemistries and industrial bus voltages, and it can operate down to 2.3V after startup when biased from the output rail-enabling brownout resilience in critical systems.
How does the LTC3769HUF#PBF achieve 28μA quiescent current?
The LTC3769HUF#PBF achieves 28μA quiescent current in Burst Mode® operation by dynamically disabling gate drivers and major internal blocks during light-load intervals while maintaining regulation via output capacitor hold-up. This ultra-low IQ extends battery life in portable medical devices and always-on automotive modules without sacrificing start-up speed or transient response.
Can the LTC3769HUF#PBF synchronize to an external clock, and what is the supported frequency range?
Yes, the LTC3769HUF#PBF supports external clock synchronization via the PLLIN/MODE pin across a 75kHz–850kHz range. When an external clock is applied, the internal PLL locks the rising edge of the bottom gate (BG) to the external clock's rising edge-enabling deterministic EMI reduction and coordinated switching in multi-converter systems such as server PSUs or ADAS domain controllers.
What package type and thermal specifications apply to the LTC3769HUF#PBF?
The LTC3769HUF#PBF uses a 24-pin 4mm × 4mm plastic QFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 25). It is qualified for –40°C to 150°C junction temperature operation (H-grade), with θJA = 47°C/W. The exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground for rated thermal performance-critical for sustained 120W operation in enclosed industrial enclosures.
Does the LTC3769HUF#PBF support both RSENSE and inductor DCR current sensing?
Yes, the LTC3769HUF#PBF supports both RSENSE and inductor DCR current sensing through its differential SENSE+ and SENSE– inputs, which feature a 2.3V–60V common-mode range and selectable 42mV/68mV/90mV thresholds via the ILIM pin. This dual-sensing capability eliminates the need for external amplifiers or complex compensation networks-reducing BOM cost and improving accuracy in high-current industrial boost converters.
