Product details
Overview
LTC3783EDHD#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a current-mode PWM LED driver and boost/flyback/SEPIC controller featuring integrated N-channel MOSFET gate drivers for both power switch (GATE) and load PWM switch (PWMOUT). It delivers true-color PWM dimming up to 3000:1, supports analog dimming via FBP/ILIM, operates from 3V–36V input, and provides constant-current or constant-voltage regulation with programmable frequency (20kHz–1MHz) - used in high-brightness LED backlighting and telecom power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3783EDHD#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3783EDHD#TRPBF pinout, LTC3783EDHD#TRPBF application, or LTC3783EDHD#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-gate drive capability, No RSENSE™ operation for VDS < 36V, 1.23V ±1% reference, 20µA shutdown current, and DFN-16 (5mm × 4mm) package with exposed thermal pad.
Technical Context
The LTC3783EDHD#TRPBF implements a fixed-frequency, current-mode control architecture with slope compensation, supporting boost, flyback, and SEPIC topologies. Its error amplifier drives ITH to set peak current threshold, while PWMIN enables true zero-latency PWM load switching by freezing ITH state during low pulses - eliminating transient overvoltage/undervoltage during LED dimming.
It integrates a 7V LDO regulator (INTVCC) powering gate drivers and logic, supports external synchronization up to 1.3× fOSC, and offers dual regulation modes: voltage mode (FBP ≤ 1.23V) and constant-current/constant-voltage mode (FBP > 2.5V), where ILIM sets differential sense voltage from 10mV to 100mV.
Key Specifications

| INTVCC (10) | Internal 7V LDO Output | Supplies gate drivers and logic - requires ≥4.7µF ceramic bypass to GND for transient current delivery. |
| GATE (9) | Main Power Switch Driver Output | 0.5A peak sourcing / 1A sinking - directly drives N-channel MOSFET gates in boost/flyback/SEPIC topologies. |
| FBN (1) | Error Amp Inverting Input / Negative Sense | Connects to ground-side of current-sense resistor or output divider - defines regulation reference point. |
| FBP (2) | Error Amp Noninverting Input / Positive Sense | Determines regulation mode: ≤1.23V = voltage mode; >2.5V = CC/CV mode - sets target feedback level. |
| ILIM (3) | Current Limit Set Input | 0.1V–1.23V input scales sense voltage offset (10mV–100mV) - enables analog dimming and CC regulation tuning. |
| VREF (4) | Buffered 1.23V Reference Output | Stable, low-impedance reference - used directly or attenuated for FBP bias; must not be capacitive-bypassed. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED driver and DC/DC controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3783IDHD#TRPBF | Same silicon, extended temperature grade (–40°C to +125°C) and higher thermal rating (θJA = 43°C/W unchanged). | Required for under-hood automotive or high-ambient industrial deployments where junction temperature exceeds 85°C. | Select when operating ambient exceeds 85°C or when long-term reliability at elevated junction temperatures is critical. |
| LTC3783EFE#TRPBF | Same functionality in 16-lead TSSOP package (θJA = 38°C/W), different pinout and larger footprint (6.1mm × 4.4mm vs. 5mm × 4mm). | Suitable for prototyping or legacy layouts where DFN assembly is unavailable; lower thermal resistance but larger area. | Choose for hand-soldering, test fixtures, or designs constrained by DFN reflow capability but needing identical electrical behavior. |
Compared with LTC3783EDHD#TRPBF, the IDHD variant extends thermal operating range without changing pinout or electrical specs, while the EFE variant trades compact DFN packaging for easier assembly and marginally better thermal dissipation in TSSOP - both retain identical control architecture, dimming performance, and regulation modes.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the LTC3783EDHD#TRPBF?
The LTC3783EDHD#TRPBF supports an absolute maximum input voltage of 42V on VIN, SENSE, FBP, and FBN pins. Its recommended operating input voltage range is 3V to 36V, making it suitable for 24V industrial and 42V automotive systems. Exceeding 36V in normal operation risks violating the specified functional range, though transient tolerance up to 42V is guaranteed per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Does the LTC3783EDHD#TRPBF support synchronization to an external clock?
Yes, the LTC3783EDHD#TRPBF supports external clock synchronization via the SYNC pin, which accepts TTL/CMOS-compatible signals from 100% to 130% of its nominal oscillator frequency. The internal 100kΩ pull-down resistor ensures safe default operation when SYNC is unconnected. For reliable synchronization, the external clock must exceed 2V for ≥25ns with ≤80% duty cycle.
How does the No RSENSE™ mode work in the LTC3783EDHD#TRPBF?
The LTC3783EDHD#TRPBF implements No RSENSE™ mode by sensing the voltage drop across the main power MOSFET's RDS(ON) via the SENSE pin, eliminating the need for an external current-sense resistor. This mode is valid only when VDS ≤ 36V and improves efficiency by removing I²R losses. Accuracy depends on MOSFET RDS(ON) tolerance and temperature drift, so calibration may be required for precision current regulation.
What is the purpose of the ILIM pin on the LTC3783EDHD#TRPBF?
The ILIM pin on the LTC3783EDHD#TRPBF sets the differential current-sense voltage threshold (VFBP – VFBN) in constant-current mode, scaling linearly from 10mV to 100mV as ILIM voltage increases from 0.123V to 1.23V. It enables analog dimming and fine-tunes current regulation accuracy, especially in CC/CV applications where load current must be tightly controlled independent of output voltage.
Can the LTC3783EDHD#TRPBF operate in flyback topology?
Yes, the LTC3783EDHD#TRPBF is explicitly designed to support flyback topology in addition to boost and SEPIC. Its current-mode control architecture, adjustable slope compensation, and dual-gate drive (GATE for primary switch, PWMOUT for secondary-side synchronous rectification or load switching) make it suitable for isolated flyback converters - commonly used in telecom and industrial power supplies requiring galvanic isolation.
