Product details
Overview
LTC3769IUF#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-performance, 4.5V–60V input synchronous boost controller driving all-N-channel MOSFETs. It delivers up to 60V output, features ±1% 1.200V reference accuracy, 28μA no-load quiescent current, and supports RSENSE or DCR current sensing for precision regulation in high-efficiency DC/DC conversion stages.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3769IUF#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3769IUF#TRPBF pinout, LTC3769IUF#TRPBF application, or LTC3769IUF#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include wide VIN range (down to 2.3V post-startup), programmable 50kHz–900kHz switching frequency, phase-lockable PLL interface, 100% duty cycle capability, and thermally enhanced 4mm × 4mm QFN-24 package with exposed GND pad.
Technical Context
The LTC3769IUF#TRPBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control with dual gate drivers (TG/BG), internal 5.4V LDO (INTVCC), and selectable light-load operation-Burst Mode®, pulse-skipping, or forced continuous-via the PLLIN/MODE pin. Its error amplifier compares VFB against a stable 1.200V reference, while ITH sets peak current limit dynamically.
It supports flexible power sourcing: INTVCC can be supplied from VBIAS (4.5V–60V) or EXTVCC (4.5V–14V), enabling efficiency optimization in battery- and bus-powered systems. Overvoltage protection (OVMODE-selectable), Power Good monitoring (PGOOD), and soft-start (SS) with 10μA pull-up current provide robust system-level control.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Thermally enhanced 24-pin (4mm × 4mm) plastic QFN package with exposed GND pad (Pin 25). All GND pins (Pins 8, 10, 24, 25) must be connected to PCB ground plane; exposed pad must be soldered for thermal integrity and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VBIAS (Pin 1) | Main supply input | Accepts 4.5V–60V; powers internal circuitry and charge pump - can be tied to VIN or VOUT for low-input operation post-startup. |
| PGOOD (Pin 2) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Asserts low when VFB deviates >±10% from 1.200V for ≥45μs - enables system sequencing and fault detection. |
| ILIM (Pin 3) | Peak current sense threshold select | Connect to GND/FLOAT/INTVCC to set max sense voltage to 50/75/100mV - configures current limit without external resistors. |
| INTVCC (Pins 5, 22) | Internal 5.4V LDO output | Supplies gate drivers and control logic; requires ≥4.7μF ceramic capacitor to GND - decoupling critical for stability. |
| FREQ (Pin 7) | Oscillator frequency control | Resistor-to-GND sets 50kHz–900kHz; DC voltage or sync clock enables precise frequency tuning or PLL locking. |
| GND (Pins 8, 10, 24, 25) | Signal and thermal ground | Multiple low-inductance paths required; exposed pad (Pin 25) must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal dissipation. |
| PLLIN/MODE (Pin 9) | Sync input / light-load mode selector | Accepts external clock for phase-locking; selects Burst Mode® (GND), pulse-skipping (1.2V–INTVCC−1.3V), or forced CCM (INTVCC). |
| RUN (Pin 11) | Enable/shutdown control | 1.28V threshold for partial shutdown; <0.7V for full shutdown (4μA IQ) - supports undervoltage lockout via resistor divider from VIN. |
| SS (Pin 12) | Soft-start ramp control | 10μA internal current charges external capacitor - linearly ramps VOUT during startup to limit inrush and stress. |
| SENSE+ / SENSE− (Pins 14, 13) | Differential current sense inputs | Support 2.3V–60V common-mode range; enable accurate current sensing with RSENSE or DCR - critical for overcurrent protection. |
| VFB (Pin 15) | Error amplifier feedback input | Compares remote output voltage (via resistor divider) to 1.200V reference - determines regulation accuracy and loop stability. |
| ITH (Pin 16) | Error amplifier output / current limit threshold | Directly sets peak inductor current; voltage range 0.425V–2V defines operating mode and load response dynamics. |
| OVMODE (Pin 17) | Overvoltage protection mode select | GND = OVP enabled (TG forced on); INTVCC = OVP disabled - also selects light-load behavior during PLL sync. |
| SW (Pin 18) | Switch node connection | Connects to source of synchronous MOSFET and drain of main MOSFET - high dv/dt node requiring careful layout and grounding. |
| TG (Pin 19) | Top gate driver output | Drives gate of synchronous N-MOSFET; uses BOOST rail for high-side level shifting - enables 100% duty cycle operation. |
| BOOST (Pin 20) | Floating supply for TG driver | Bypassed to SW with ceramic capacitor; charged via Schottky diode from INTVCC - sustains gate drive during high-duty cycles. |
| BG (Pin 21) | Bottom gate driver output | Drives gate of main N-MOSFET; referenced to GND - optimized for fast rise/fall times (20ns typ) and low shoot-through risk. |
| EXTVCC (Pin 23) | External bias input for INTVCC LDO | Enables bypass of VBIAS LDO when >4.8V applied - reduces power loss and heat in high-input-voltage applications. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous N-MOSFET control | Eliminates external Schottky diode losses, increasing efficiency by 3–8% and reducing thermal load in 12V→24V/5A+ converters. |
| 100% duty cycle capability | Enables VOUT ≈ VIN operation - essential for automotive cold-crank scenarios where input may dip below regulated output. |
| Programmable light-load modes | Burst Mode® (28μA IQ), pulse-skipping, or forced CCM selected via single pin - optimizes efficiency across 100μA–5A load range. |
| Robust overvoltage protection | OVMODE-selectable response (TG latch-on or normal regulation) prevents damage during feedback loop faults or open-sense-resistor events. |
| Flexible power architecture | Dual LDO inputs (VBIAS and EXTVCC) allow optimal bias sourcing - e.g., EXTVCC from intermediate rail cuts VBIAS dissipation by >50% at 48V input. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage for LTC3769IUF#TRPBF after startup?
The LTC3769IUF#TRPBF can operate down to 2.3V after startup when VBIAS is powered from the output rail (VOUT) rather than the input (VIN). This enables continued regulation during severe input dips - such as automotive cold-cranking events - provided VOUT remains above 2.3V and sufficient hold-up capacitance is used. The absolute minimum VIN before startup remains 4.5V.
Does LTC3769IUF#TRPBF support inductor DCR current sensing?
Yes, the LTC3769IUF#TRPBF fully supports inductor DCR current sensing via its differential SENSE+ and SENSE− pins. It includes built-in filtering and offset compensation to reject common-mode noise and accommodate typical DCR tolerances. The ILIM pin configures the effective sense voltage threshold (50/75/100mV), allowing direct use of DCR without external gain resistors.
How does the PGOOD pin function on LTC3769IUF#TRPBF?
The PGOOD pin on LTC3769IUF#TRPBF is an open-drain output that pulls low when the regulated feedback voltage (VFB) deviates by more than ±10% from the 1.200V reference for at least 45μs. It remains high during normal regulation and provides a clean, glitch-free signal for system power sequencing, fault logging, or microcontroller interrupt triggering - with no external pull-up required if driven into a logic input.
Can LTC3769IUF#TRPBF be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, the LTC3769IUF#TRPBF supports external clock synchronization via the PLLIN/MODE pin. When an external clock is applied, its internal phase-locked loop aligns the rising edge of the bottom gate (BG) signal to the external clock's rising edge. This enables EMI reduction through frequency coordination and multi-phase interleaving in systems with multiple converters.
What is the purpose of the EXTVCC pin on LTC3769IUF#TRPBF?
The EXTVCC pin on LTC3769IUF#TRPBF provides an alternative input to the internal 5.4V LDO that supplies INTVCC. When EXTVCC exceeds ~4.8V, the device disables the VBIAS-based LDO and switches to the EXTVCC LDO - reducing power dissipation and heat generation in high-input-voltage applications (e.g., 48V bus). If unused, EXTVCC must be tied to GND.
