Product details
Overview
LTC3784HGN#PBF 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 24V-to-48V telecom power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3784HGN#PBF datasheet, LTC3784HGN#PBF pinout, LTC3784HGN#PBF application, or LTC3784HGN#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its –40°C to 150°C extended temperature rating, dual-phase operation for thermal distribution, programmable 50kHz–900kHz switching frequency, and integrated 5.4V INTVCC LDO powered from VBIAS or EXTVCC.
Technical Context
The LTC3784HGN#PBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control with two independent channels operating 180° out-of-phase. Its error amplifier compares VFB against a precision 1.200V reference, modulating ITH to regulate peak inductor current per phase. The internal VCO supports fixed-frequency programming (via FREQ pin resistor) or PLL synchronization (75kHz–850kHz) through PLLIN/MODE.
It integrates dual gate drivers with matched rise/fall times (20ns), top/bottom gate delay control (30ns), and BOOST charge pumps enabling high-side N-MOSFET drive. Overvoltage protection (OVMODE-selectable), soft-start (SS pin), and three light-load modes (Burst Mode®, pulse-skipping, forced continuous) are implemented via dedicated pins with defined voltage thresholds and hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 60V (65V abs max); operates down to 2.3V after startup when VBIAS is powered from VOUT - enables wide battery and bus voltage compatibility. |
| Output Voltage Range | Up to 60V - supports high-voltage industrial and telecom applications such as 24V-to-48V boost conversion. |
| Reference Voltage | ±1% 1.200V (1.188V–1.212V) - ensures tight output regulation across temperature and load. |
| Quiescent Current | 28μA in pulse-skipping/forced continuous mode; <4μA in shutdown - critical for low-power standby operation. |
| Switching Frequency | Programmable 50kHz–900kHz or PLL-synchronized 75kHz–850kHz - allows EMI optimization and inductor size reduction. |
| Current Sensing | RSENSE or inductor DCR sensing with selectable 42mV/68mV/90mV thresholds (ILIM pin config) - supports flexible, low-loss current monitoring. |

Pinout & Package
Package: 28-Lead Plastic SSOP (GN), thermally enhanced, rated θJA = 80°C/W. Exposed pad not present (SSOP).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FREQ (Pin 1) | Oscillator frequency control | Resistor-to-GND sets 50kHz–900kHz; GND = 350kHz, INTVCC = 535kHz - enables precise EMI tuning without external clock. |
| PLLIN/MODE (Pin 4) | Light-load mode & sync input | GND = Burst Mode®, INTVCC = forced continuous, mid-voltage = pulse-skipping; external clock syncs BG1 rising edge - selects efficiency vs. ripple trade-off. |
| SENSE1+/SENSE1– (Pins 2,3) | Channel 1 current sense inputs | Accept 2.3V–60V common-mode voltage; differential threshold configurable via ILIM - supports high-side or low-side RSENSE placement. |
| VFB (Pin 10) | Feedback voltage input | Compares output divider voltage to 1.200V reference; ±5nA input bias - enables stable regulation with high-resistance dividers. |
| ITH (Pin 11) | Error amplifier output & current limit threshold | Directly sets peak inductor current; transconductance = 2mmho - forms inner current loop for fast transient response. |
| PGOOD (Pin 25) | Power-good open-drain output | Asserts low when VFB deviates >±10% for ≥45μs - provides system-level fault signaling with built-in debounce. |
| RUN (Pin 6) | Enable/shutdown control | 1.28V threshold with 100mV hysteresis; <0.7V = ultra-low-IQ shutdown (<4μA) - enables sequenced power-up and brownout protection. |
| SS (Pin 7) | Soft-start ramp control | 10μA internal pull-up charges external capacitor; regulates VFB to SS voltage until 1.2V reached - prevents inrush current and output overshoot. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PolyPhase® dual-channel operation | Reduces RMS input/output ripple current by ~70% vs. single-phase, allowing smaller capacitors and lower ESR requirements. |
| Synchronous rectification support | Integrated high-side gate drivers with BOOST charge pumps enable efficient N-MOSFET use - eliminates body-diode conduction losses. |
| 100% duty cycle capability | Enables dropout operation at VIN ≈ VOUT - essential for battery-powered systems transitioning between charge/discharge states. |
| Three selectable light-load modes | Burst Mode® (high efficiency at µA loads), pulse-skipping (low noise), forced continuous (lowest ripple) - user-configurable per application need. |
| Robust overvoltage protection | OVMODE-selectable: ground = active clamp (TG1/TG2 forced on), INTVCC = disable clamp - prevents damage during feedback fault conditions. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the LTC3784HGN#PBF can withstand?
The LTC3784HGN#PBF has an absolute maximum VBIAS rating of 65V. Its operational input range is 4.5V to 60V, and it can sustain operation down to 2.3V after startup if VBIAS is powered from the output rail. This makes the LTC3784HGN#PBF suitable for transient-heavy 48V industrial buses and automotive cold-crank scenarios where input may dip below nominal.
How does the LTC3784HGN#PBF achieve 100% duty cycle operation?
The LTC3784HGN#PBF achieves 100% duty cycle by disabling the bottom gate driver (BG) while keeping the top gate driver (TG) active, allowing the output to track the input when VIN approaches VOUT. This behavior is inherent to its synchronous boost architecture and requires no external circuitry - enabling seamless operation during battery discharge or input voltage sags.
Can the LTC3784HGN#PBF be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, the LTC3784HGN#PBF supports external synchronization via the PLLIN/MODE pin, accepting clocks from 75kHz to 850kHz. When an external signal is applied, the internal PLL locks the rising edge of BG1 to the external clock's rising edge, enabling deterministic timing across multiple phases or systems - critical for EMI-sensitive and multi-rail applications.
What is the purpose of the OVMODE pin on the LTC3784HGN#PBF?
The OVMODE pin on the LTC3784HGN#PBF selects overvoltage protection behavior: grounded = active clamp (TG1/TG2 forced on to discharge output), tied to INTVCC = disable clamp (normal regulation continues). It also determines light-load mode during external sync. This dual function allows safe handling of feedback faults while preserving design flexibility.
Does the LTC3784HGN#PBF support both RSENSE and DCR current sensing?
Yes, the LTC3784HGN#PBF supports both methods. Its SENSE+ and SENSE– pins accept 2.3V–60V common-mode voltage and feature programmable current sense thresholds (42mV/68mV/90mV via ILIM pin) - enabling accurate current measurement using either discrete shunt resistors or inductor DCR, reducing component count and power loss.
