Product details
Overview
LTC3784IUFD#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-performance 60V PolyPhase® synchronous boost controller driving two N-channel MOSFET stages out-of-phase. It supports 4.5V–60V input, delivers up to 60V output, features ±1% 1.200V reference, 28μA quiescent current, and operates down to 2.3V after startup when biased from VOUT - ideal for industrial 24V-to-48V telecom power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3784IUFD#PBF datasheet, LTC3784IUFD#PBF pinout, LTC3784IUFD#PBF application, or LTC3784IUFD#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-phase current-mode control architecture, programmable 50kHz–900kHz switching frequency, RSENSE/DCR sensing flexibility, 100% duty cycle capability, and thermally enhanced 4mm × 5mm QFN package with exposed ground pad.
Technical Context
The LTC3784IUFD#PBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control with two independent channels operating 180° out-of-phase to reduce input/output ripple and capacitor stress. Its dual-stage gate drivers support synchronous rectification with top-gate rise/fall times of 20ns and bottom-gate delay control enabling precise dead-time management.
It integrates a phase-lockable PLL (75kHz–850kHz), selectable light-load modes (Burst Mode®, pulse-skipping, forced continuous), and overvoltage protection configurable via OVMODE pin. The internal 5.4V LDO powers control circuitry from either VBIAS or EXTVCC, with automatic switchover at 4.8V.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Thermally enhanced 28-pin (4mm × 5mm) plastic QFN package with exposed ground pad (Pin 29), rated θJA = 43°C/W. Exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FREQ (Pin 1) | Oscillator frequency control | Resistor-to-GND sets 50kHz–900kHz; DC voltage or INTVCC/GND selects fixed frequencies - enables precise EMI tuning and layout optimization. |
| PLLIN/MODE (Pin 4) | External sync input / light-load mode selector | Accepts external clock for phase-locking; configures Burst Mode®/pulse-skipping/forced continuous - critical for multi-phase synchronization and efficiency optimization. |
| SENSE1+/SENSE1– (Pins 2,3) | Channel 1 current sense differential inputs | Supports 2.3V–60V common-mode range; accepts RSENSE or DCR sensing - enables accurate current limiting across wide VIN/VOUT ratios. |
| VFB (Pin 13) | Error amplifier feedback input | Compares output divider voltage to 1.200V reference; ±5nA input bias - allows high-impedance feedback networks without gain error. |
| PGOOD (Pin 28) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Asserts low when VFB deviates >±10% for ≥45μs - provides reliable system-level power sequencing and fault reporting. |
| INTVCC (Pin 20) | Internal 5.4V LDO output | Powers gate drivers and analog circuitry; requires ≥4.7μF low-ESR ceramic decoupling - ensures stable operation during transient load steps. |
| GND (Pin 29, Exposed Pad) | Power and thermal ground reference | Must be connected to PCB ground plane; primary thermal path - essential for maintaining TJ ≤ 125°C at full load. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC3784IUFD#PBF?
The LTC3784IUFD#PBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 65V on the VBIAS pin, with normal operation specified from 4.5V to 60V. This 65V abs max rating allows safe handling of transients such as load dump in automotive applications, provided external clamping is used per design guidelines in the datasheet.
How does the LTC3784IUFD#PBF achieve 100% duty cycle operation?
The LTC3784IUFD#PBF achieves 100% duty cycle by disabling the top MOSFET gate driver (TG) and holding the bottom MOSFET (BG) continuously on when required - enabling seamless transition to dropout operation. This behavior is inherent to its synchronous boost architecture and is confirmed in the "Operation" section of the LTC3784 datasheet.
Can the LTC3784IUFD#PBF be configured for single-phase operation?
Yes, the LTC3784IUFD#PBF can be configured for single-phase operation by connecting both TG1/BG1 and TG2/BG2 outputs in parallel and disabling one channel via PHASMD pin configuration. However, this forfeits PolyPhase® benefits like reduced ripple and shared current stress - the device remains fully functional but operates as a single-channel controller.
What is the purpose of the EXTVCC pin on the LTC3784IUFD#PBF?
The EXTVCC pin on the LTC3784IUFD#PBF provides an alternative power source for the internal 5.4V LDO (INTVCC). When EXTVCC exceeds 4.8V, it automatically disables the VBIAS-powered LDO and supplies INTVCC instead - reducing power dissipation and improving efficiency in high-VIN applications where VBIAS would otherwise drop significant voltage across the internal regulator.
Does the LTC3784IUFD#PBF support DCR current sensing on both phases?
Yes, the LTC3784IUFD#PBF supports DCR current sensing on both phases via dedicated SENSE1+/– and SENSE2+/– pins, each with 2.3V–60V common-mode range and matched offset characteristics. The datasheet confirms identical electrical specifications and layout guidance for both channels, ensuring balanced current sharing in PolyPhase® configurations.
