Product details
Overview
LTC3779IFE#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a 150V-rated 4-switch synchronous buck-boost controller operating in constant-frequency current mode. It supports input and output voltages from 4.5V to 150V, enables seamless buck/boost/buck-boost transitions, delivers ±1% 1.2V reference accuracy, and features programmable 6V–10V DRVCC for gate driver optimization-used in high-reliability automotive power supplies and telecom rectifiers.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3779IFE#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3779IFE#TRPBF pinout, LTC3779IFE#TRPBF application, or LTC3779IFE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include VIN/VOUT overlap capability, input/output average current limiting, phase-lockable 50–600kHz operation, precision RUN pin threshold (1.2V), and thermally enhanced FE38 TSSOP packaging for high-voltage industrial converters.
Technical Context
The LTC3779IFE#TRPBF implements a proprietary 4-switch single-inductor buck-boost topology with valley-current sensing in buck region and peak-current sensing in boost region. Its dual-loop architecture supports independent input or output average current regulation via IAVGSNSP/IAVGSNSN pins, while the MODE pin selects between forced continuous conduction mode (CCM) or pulse-skipping mode (DCM) for light-load efficiency.
Internal power management includes three configurable LDO paths: VIN-based, NDRV-driven external NMOS, and EXTVCC-bypassed-each supporting DRVCC regulation at 6V–10V. The integrated PLL synchronizes switching frequency to external clocks up to 600kHz, and the RUN pin provides 150V-rated enable control with 100mV hysteresis and 2.5µA pull-up current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 4.5V to 150V - supports wide-input battery systems and industrial HVDC rails without pre-regulation |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC3779IFE#TRPBF?
The LTC3779IFE#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input supply voltage (VIN) rating of 150V, with guaranteed operation from 4.5V to 150V. This allows direct interface with 48V, 60V, and 96V battery systems and telecom HVDC distribution without external voltage clamping or pre-regulation stages.
How does the MODE pin affect operation of the LTC3779IFE#TRPBF?
The MODE pin on the LTC3779IFE#TRPBF selects between forced continuous conduction mode (CCM) when tied to SGND or below 0.8V, and pulse-skipping mode (DCM) when tied to V5. CCM ensures constant switching frequency for noise-sensitive applications, while DCM improves light-load efficiency by skipping cycles.
Can the LTC3779IFE#TRPBF regulate both input and output current simultaneously?
No-the LTC3779IFE#TRPBF supports either input average current regulation (via IAVGSNSP/IAVGSNSN) or output average current regulation, but not both simultaneously. The same differential amplifier is shared, and configuration depends on external resistor network placement relative to the input or output side of the power stage.
What is the purpose of the RUN pin on the LTC3779IFE#TRPBF?
The RUN pin on the LTC3779IFE#TRPBF is a 150V-rated enable input with a precise 1.2V turn-on threshold and 100mV hysteresis. It features internal 2.5µA pull-up current and supports direct connection to high-voltage rails-enabling simple, robust enable control in battery-powered and industrial systems without external level shifters.
Does the LTC3779IFE#TRPBF support external clock synchronization?
Yes-the LTC3779IFE#TRPBF supports full phase-lockable operation via the PLLIN pin. When an external clock (50–600kHz) is applied, the internal PLL synchronizes the oscillator while preserving all functional modes-including forced CCM or pulse-skipping-controlled independently by the MODE pin.
