Product details
Overview
LTC3783IFE#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) in a 16-lead TSSOP package rated for –40°C to 125°C. It is used in high-voltage LED arrays and telecom power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3783IFE#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3783IFE#TRPBF pinout, LTC3783IFE#TRPBF application, or LTC3783IFE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-switch control architecture, No RSENSE™ capability for VDS < 36V, 1.23V ±1% reference, 100mV RUN hysteresis, and 20µA shutdown current - all critical for precision LED dimming and industrial DC/DC converter design.
Technical Context
The LTC3783IFE#TRPBF implements a fixed-frequency current-mode control loop with slope compensation, where ITH voltage sets the peak current threshold via a transconductance error amplifier (gm = 1.7–14 mmho). Its dual PWM path enables simultaneous GATE switching control and external load switching via PWMOUT, with ITH state retention during PWMIN low periods to eliminate transient overvoltage/undervoltage during dimming transitions.
It supports three operating modes: voltage regulation (VFBP ≤ 1.23V), constant-current/constant-voltage regulation (VFBP > 2.5V), and No RSENSE mode using MOSFET RDS(ON). The internal 7V LDO powers gate drivers (50mA max), while SYNC allows synchronization up to 1.3× fOSC, and OV/FB provides overvoltage lockout at 1.32V (1.23V + 7%) with 20mV hysteresis.

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FBN (1) | Error amplifier inverting input / negative current sense | Senses feedback voltage across output divider (voltage mode) or shunt resistor (current mode); nominal regulation point = VFBP or VFBP – 100mV. |
| FBP (2) | Error amplifier noninverting input / positive current sense | Determines regulation mode: ≤1.23V = voltage mode; >2.5V = constant-current/constant-voltage mode; sets dimming reference. |
| ILIM (3) | Current limit offset control | Scales VFBP–VFBN threshold from 10mV to 100mV linearly with VILIM (0.1V–1.23V), enabling 10:1 analog dimming. |
| VREF (4) | Buffered 1.23V reference output | Provides stable reference for external resistor dividers; must be decoupled with 10kΩ to GND-not capacitive bypass. |
| FREQ (5) | Oscillator frequency programming | 0.615V bias; RT resistor to GND sets fOSC from 20kHz–1MHz; internal oscillator current charges/discharges timing capacitor. |
| SYNC (6) | External clock synchronization input | Internal 100kΩ pull-down; accepts 2V–7V pulses ≥25ns; locks fOSC to 100–130% of nominal frequency. |
| PWMIN (7) | PWM dimming command input | 100kΩ internal pull-up; low state disables GATE switching, holds ITH state, and drives PWMOUT low for true-color dimming. |
| PWMOUT (8) | Load PWM switch driver output | Drives external N-MOSFET for LED current shutoff; 0.25A sink/0.5A source capability; enables 3000:1 digital dimming. |
| GATE (9) | Main power MOSFET gate driver | 50mA RMS drive; 0.5A peak sourcing / 1A peak sinking; rise/fall times <30ns into 3300pF; supports high-side boost switching. |
| INTVCC (10) | Internal 7V LDO output | Powers gate drivers and internal circuitry; requires ≥4.7µF low-ESR ceramic cap to GND; shorting to VIN allowed if VIN ≤8V. |
| VIN (11) | Main input supply | 3V–36V input rail; must be closely decoupled to GND; supplies quiescent and gate-charge current (IQ(TOT) = IQ + f·QG). |
| SENSE (12) | Current sense input | Accepts VDS sensing (No RSENSE mode, VSENSE ≤36V) or source-shunt sensing; includes leading-edge blanking. |
| SS (13) | Soft-start ramp control | 50µA pull-up current enabled by RUN; charges external capacitor to limit inrush current; full ITH range established at 1.23V. |
| OV/FB (14) | Overvoltage protection / voltage feedback | In voltage mode: trips at 1.32V (1.23V + 7%) to disable GATE; in CC/CV mode: regulates VOUT to 1.23V when current limit not active. |
| ITH (15) | Error amplifier output / compensation node | 0–1.4V control voltage; sets ITRIP comparator threshold; connects to external RC network for loop stability. |
| RUN (16) | Enable/shutdown control | 1.248V rising threshold with 100mV hysteresis; pulls IC into 20µA shutdown when <1.223V; enables soft-start and gate drivers when high. |
| Exposed Pad (17) | Thermal & electrical ground | Mandatory solder connection to PCB GND plane; ensures thermal dissipation (θJA = 38°C/W) and low-impedance return path. |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the LTC3783IFE#TRPBF?
The LTC3783IFE#TRPBF supports an input voltage range of 3V to 36V. Absolute maximum rating for VIN, SENSE, FBP, and FBN pins is 42V - exceeding this may cause permanent damage. Operation above 36V requires external clamping or level-shifting, as internal protection circuits are not rated beyond 42V.
How does the No RSENSE™ mode work in the LTC3783IFE#TRPBF?
The LTC3783IFE#TRPBF implements No RSENSE™ mode by sensing the voltage drop across the main power MOSFET's RDS(ON) via the SENSE pin. This eliminates the need for an external current-sense resistor when VDS ≤ 36V, improving efficiency and reducing component count. Accuracy depends on MOSFET RDS(ON) tolerance and temperature coefficient.
Can the LTC3783IFE#TRPBF be synchronized to an external clock, and what are the limits?
Yes, the LTC3783IFE#TRPBF can be synchronized to an external clock applied to the SYNC pin. The recommended maximum synchronization ratio is 1.3× fOSC; attempting synchronization above this risks insufficient slope compensation and subharmonic oscillation. The SYNC signal must exceed 2V for ≥25ns and maintain ≤80% duty cycle.
What is the purpose of the ILIM pin on the LTC3783IFE#TRPBF?
The ILIM pin on the LTC3783IFE#TRPBF sets the current-sense voltage threshold (VFBP – VFBN) in constant-current mode. With VILIM = 1.23V, the threshold is 100mV; scaling VILIM down to 0.123V reduces it to 10mV - enabling a 10:1 analog dimming range while maintaining loop stability.
Does the LTC3783IFE#TRPBF support both constant-current and constant-voltage regulation simultaneously?
Yes, the LTC3783IFE#TRPBF supports constant-current/constant-voltage (CC/CV) regulation in a priority-based manner. When VFBP > 2.5V, it regulates load current via FBP/FBN; if output voltage exceeds the OV/FB threshold (≈1.23V), it switches to voltage regulation - whichever limit is reached first determines the operating mode.
