Product details
Overview
LTC3780EUH#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a high-performance, synchronous 4-switch buck-boost controller enabling single-inductor DC/DC conversion where input voltage may be above, below, or equal to output voltage. It delivers ±1% output voltage accuracy (0.8V–30V), supports 200kHz–400kHz phase-lockable fixed-frequency operation, and achieves up to 98% efficiency with quad N-channel MOSFET drive in automotive and telecom power systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3780EUH#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3780EUH#TRPBF pinout, LTC3780EUH#TRPBF application, or LTC3780EUH#TRPBF equivalent, this controller provides seamless buck/boost/buck-boost mode transitions, integrated current-mode control, programmable low-current modes (Burst, Skip-Cycle, Forced CCM), and robust fault protection including output overvoltage lockout and foldback current limiting.
Technical Context
The LTC3780EUH#TRPBF implements a proprietary current-mode architecture with dual independent gate drivers (TG1/BG1 for buck path, TG2/BG2 for boost path) and dynamic mode transition logic that ensures continuous regulation across VIN/VOUT crossover. Its error amplifier features 0.6MHz GBW and 0.32mS transconductance, while the ITH pin serves as both current threshold control and compensation node.
Operating mode selection is determined by the FCB pin voltage: <0.8V enables forced continuous conduction mode (CCM); 0.85–5V selects skip-cycle (buck) or Burst Mode® (boost); >5.3V activates constant-frequency discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). The internal 6V LDO powers gate drivers and control circuitry, with automatic switchover to EXTVCC when >5.7V is applied.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 30V operating, 36V absolute max - supports wide-range battery and industrial bus inputs without external pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1% over temperature - ensures stable regulation for precision analog or digital loads without post-conversion trimming. |
| Switching Frequency | 200kHz to 400kHz, phase-lockable via PLLIN - enables EMI reduction through synchronization and predictable thermal design. |
| Peak Efficiency | Up to 98% - achieved via synchronous rectification and low-loss gate drive, reducing thermal load in high-power density designs. |
| Current Sense Threshold | –150mV to +185mV range - supports bidirectional current sensing and reverse-current detection for battery backup and regenerative applications. |
| Power Good Window | ±7.5% output voltage monitoring - provides reliable system-level power sequencing and fault signaling without external comparators. |
| Thermal Performance | θJA = 34°C/W (QFN package) - enables high-current operation at elevated ambient temperatures with minimal heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
The LTC3780EUH#TRPBF is housed in a 32-lead (5mm × 5mm) plastic QFN package with exposed pad (Pin 33 = SGND), optimized for thermal dissipation and high-density PCB layouts. The exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground for electrical integrity and rated thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PGOOD (Pin 30) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Asserts low when VOUT deviates >±7.5% from setpoint - used for system enable/disable sequencing and fault reporting. |
| SS (Pin 31) | Soft-start timing capacitor connection | Controls inrush current ramp rate during startup; minimum 6.8nF required to limit peak input surge. |
| SENSE+ / SENSE– (Pins 1/2) | Differential current sense inputs | Monitor bidirectional inductor current via external shunt; enable reverse-current detection and cycle-by-cycle current limiting. |
| ITH (Pin 3) | Error amplifier output & current threshold control | 0–2.4V voltage sets peak/valley current limits; also serves as compensation node for loop stability tuning. |
| VOSENSE (Pin 4) | Feedback voltage input | Connects to resistor divider from VOUT; referenced to 0.800V internal bandgap for ±1% regulation accuracy. |
| RUN (Pin 6) | Enable/shutdown control | Pull below 1.5V to disable switching; internal 100kΩ pull-down allows simple ON/OFF control with open-drain logic. |
| FCB (Pin 7) | Low-current mode selector | Voltage level selects operating mode: <0.8V = forced CCM, 0.85–5V = skip/Burst, >5.3V = constant-freq DCM. |
| PLLFLTR / PLLIN (Pins 8/10) | Frequency programming & sync inputs | PLLFLTR sets oscillator frequency (170–440kHz); PLLIN accepts external clock for EMI-sensitive or multi-rail synchronized systems. |
| TG1/TG2, BG1/BG2 (Pins 15/26, 17/24, 18/20, 20/22) | Quad N-MOSFET gate drivers | Drive four external switches with 50ns rise/fall times and <80ns dead-time delays - eliminates need for external driver ICs. |
| VIN / INTVCC / EXTVCC (Pins 23/21/22) | Main input, internal LDO, external bias supply | INTVCC = 6V regulated output (5.7–6.3V); EXTVCC switchover at 5.7V reduces power loss in high-input-voltage applications. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single-inductor buck-boost topology | Eliminates need for separate buck and boost converters - reduces BOM count, board area, and magnetic component cost in wide-input-range systems. |
| Seamless mode transition | Sub-200ns buck ↔ buck-boost ↔ boost transitions prevent output glitches or regulation loss when VIN crosses VOUT - critical for automotive cold-crank and battery discharge scenarios. |
| Programmable low-load efficiency modes | Burst Mode® (boost) and skip-cycle (buck) reduce light-load quiescent current to 1.5mA - extends runtime in always-on telecom or IoT edge devices. |
| Integrated fault protection | Output overvoltage lockout (0.84–0.88V at VOSENSE), foldback current limiting, and undervoltage reset (3.8–4.0V) provide self-contained safety without external supervision circuits. |
| Robust gate drive architecture | Quad 3A peak gate drivers with matched propagation delays and built-in shoot-through prevention - supports high-side and low-side N-MOSFETs without external level shifters. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC3780EUH#TRPBF?
The LTC3780EUH#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 36V. It operates continuously from 4V to 30V, making it suitable for 12V and 24V automotive and industrial systems with transient overvoltage margins. Exceeding 36V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Does the LTC3780EUH#TRPBF support synchronization to an external clock?
Yes, the LTC3780EUH#TRPBF supports external clock synchronization via the PLLIN pin (Pin 10). When driven with a clean CMOS or LVDS clock signal, the internal oscillator locks to the external frequency, enabling EMI reduction and multi-rail timing coordination in complex power architectures.
How does the FCB pin configure low-current operation modes in the LTC3780EUH#TRPBF?
The FCB pin (Pin 7) configures three distinct low-current modes: <0.8V enables forced continuous conduction mode; 0.85–5V selects skip-cycle (buck) or Burst Mode® (boost); >5.3V activates constant-frequency discontinuous conduction mode. Each setting directly determines gate drive behavior and light-load efficiency strategy.
What is the purpose of the SENSE+ and SENSE– pins on the LTC3780EUH#TRPBF?
The SENSE+ and SENSE– pins (Pins 1 and 2) form a differential current sense interface for the external shunt resistor. They enable precise cycle-by-cycle current limiting, bidirectional current monitoring, and reverse-current detection - critical for battery backup, regenerative braking, and fault-safe operation in the LTC3780EUH#TRPBF.
Can the LTC3780EUH#TRPBF operate with input voltage equal to output voltage?
Yes, the LTC3780EUH#TRPBF is explicitly designed for buck-boost operation where VIN equals VOUT. Its proprietary control architecture ensures seamless, glitch-free transitions between buck, buck-boost, and boost regions - maintaining regulation even during VIN/VOUT crossover in applications like automotive start-stop systems.
