Product details
Overview
LTC3784EGN#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-performance PolyPhase® synchronous boost controller driving two N-channel MOSFET stages out-of-phase to reduce input/output capacitance and power supply noise. It operates from 4.5V–60V input (down to 2.3V post-startup), delivers up to 60V output, features ±1% 1.200V reference, RSENSE/DCR current sensing, and 100% duty cycle capability - used in industrial 12V-to-24V/10A 2-phase boost converters.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3784EGN#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3784EGN#TRPBF pinout, LTC3784EGN#TRPBF application, or LTC3784EGN#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include wide VIN range (4.5V–60V), phase-lockable frequency (75kHz–850kHz), programmable fixed frequency (50kHz–900kHz), low quiescent current (28μA), and dual-channel gate drive with independent SENSE+/– inputs for precision current monitoring.
Technical Context
The LTC3784EGN#TRPBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control with two independent out-of-phase channels, each using an error amplifier (EA) comparing VFB to a 1.200V reference and generating ITH to set peak inductor current. Its dual-stage architecture supports 2-, 3-, 4-, 6-, and 12-phase configurations via CLKOUT daisy-chaining and PHASMD pin programming.
It integrates a 5.4V internal LDO (INTVCC) powered from VBIAS or EXTVCC (switchover at 4.8V), thermally enhanced 28-pin SSOP package (θJA = 80°C/W), and robust protection including overvoltage mode selection (OVMODE), power-good monitoring (PGOOD), and UVLO on INTVCC (3.6V rising, 3.8V falling).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 4.5V to 60V input; operates down to 2.3V after startup when VBIAS is powered from VOUT - enables battery-backed or wide-input industrial systems. |
| VOUT Max | Up to 60V regulated output - supports high-voltage LED drivers, telecom power, and industrial bus supplies. |
| Reference Voltage | ±1% accurate 1.200V internal reference - ensures tight output regulation across temperature and load. |
| Quiescent Current | 28μA in pulse-skipping or forced continuous mode - extends runtime in always-on industrial sensors. |
| Switching Frequency | Programmable 50kHz–900kHz or phase-lockable 75kHz–850kHz - balances efficiency, size, and EMI in space-constrained designs. |
| Current Sensing | RSENSE or inductor DCR sensing with ±12mV matching between channels - enables precise per-phase current balancing in PolyPhase operation. |
| Gate Drive | Two independent top/bottom gate drivers with 1.2Ω pull-up/pull-down and 30ns switch-on delay - ensures fast, low-loss MOSFET switching with controlled shoot-through prevention. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-Lead Plastic SSOP (GN), thermally enhanced, rated for –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature (θJA = 80°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FREQ (Pin 1) | Oscillator frequency control | Resistor-to-GND sets 50kHz–900kHz; DC voltage or external clock also accepted - enables flexible frequency tuning and synchronization. |
| PLLIN/MODE (Pin 4) | Light-load mode & external sync input | Selects Burst Mode®, pulse-skipping, or forced continuous; accepts external clock for phase-locking - critical for EMI-sensitive or multi-controller systems. |
| SENSE1+/SENSE1– (Pins 2,3) | Channel 1 current sense differential input | Supports RSENSE or DCR sensing with 2.3V–60V common-mode range - allows placement at input or output side of inductor. |

| ITH (Pin 11) | Error amplifier output & current limit threshold | Sets peak inductor current per channel; voltage directly controls current trip point - core of current-mode loop stability. |
| PGOOD (Pin 25) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Asserts low when VFB deviates >±10% for ≥45μs - provides system-level fault signaling without external logic. |
| ILIM (Pin 26) | Peak current sense voltage select | GND/float/INTVCC sets VSENSE threshold to 50/75/100mV - simplifies current limit calibration across variants. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PolyPhase® operation | Reduces required input/output capacitance by up to 75% and lowers RMS current stress in magnetics versus single-phase - cuts BOM cost and board area. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous boost controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3784IUFD#TRPBF | Same functionality and pinout; QFN package (4mm × 5mm), θJA = 43°C/W vs SSOP's 80°C/W - higher thermal performance. | Better suited for high-power density or convection-cooled PCBs where thermal resistance must be minimized. | Select when board space is constrained and thermal management prioritizes low θJA over legacy SSOP footprint compatibility. |
| LTC3784HUFD#TRPBF | Same silicon; extended temperature grade (–40°C to 150°C) and QFN package - qualified for under-hood automotive or avionics use. | Required for applications exceeding 125°C ambient, such as engine control modules or airborne power systems. | Choose only when full military or AEC-Q200-grade operation is mandated - not needed for standard industrial environments. |
Compared with LTC3784EGN#TRPBF, the IUFD variant offers superior thermal dissipation in compact layouts, while the HUFD variant adds extended temperature qualification - neither provides pin-compatible drop-in replacement for GN-package designs without PCB revision.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage for LTC3784EGN#TRPBF after startup?
The LTC3784EGN#TRPBF can operate down to 2.3V after startup when VBIAS is powered from the output (VOUT) or another auxiliary supply. This enables brownout recovery and operation from partially discharged batteries. The absolute minimum VIN before startup remains 4.5V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
How does the ILIM pin affect current sensing in LTC3784EGN#TRPBF?
The ILIM pin on the LTC3784EGN#TRPBF selects the peak current sense threshold: grounding sets it to 50mV, floating to 75mV, and connecting to INTVCC to 100mV. This directly configures the VSENSE1/2(MAX) value used by the current comparators, allowing hardware-based current limit adjustment without changing external sense resistors.
Can LTC3784EGN#TRPBF synchronize to an external clock, and what pins are involved?
Yes, the LTC3784EGN#TRPBF supports external clock synchronization via the PLLIN/MODE pin (Pin 4). When an external clock is applied, the internal PLL locks the rising edge of BG1 to that clock. The OVMODE pin (Pin 12) then determines light-load behavior during sync - grounded for forced continuous mode, tied to INTVCC for pulse-skipping mode.
What is the purpose of the SS pin on LTC3784EGN#TRPBF, and how is it configured?
The SS (soft-start) pin on the LTC3784EGN#TRPBF controls output voltage ramp rate during startup. An external capacitor from SS to SGND is charged by an internal 10μA current source, creating a linear voltage ramp. As SS rises from 0V to 1.2V, the regulator servo targets SS instead of the internal reference - ensuring controlled, inrush-limited start-up.
Does LTC3784EGN#TRPBF support both RSENSE and inductor DCR current sensing?
Yes, the LTC3784EGN#TRPBF supports both RSENSE and inductor DCR current sensing through dedicated SENSE1+/– and SENSE2+/– differential inputs. The common-mode voltage range is 2.3V to 60V, and the IC includes internal filtering and offset compensation to maintain accuracy with either method - enabling flexibility in layout and cost optimization.
