Product details
Overview
LTC3784MPUFD#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 high-efficiency 24V/10A industrial boost converters.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3784MPUFD#PBF datasheet, LTC3784MPUFD#PBF pinout, LTC3784MPUFD#PBF application, or LTC3784MPUFD#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its –55°C to 150°C extended temperature rating, 28-pin 4mm × 5mm QFN package with exposed thermal pad, phase-lockable 75kHz–850kHz frequency range, and dual-channel current-mode control for PolyPhase® operation.
Technical Context
The LTC3784MPUFD#PBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control with two independent PWM channels operating 180° out-of-phase. Its error amplifier compares VFB against a precision 1.200V reference, while ITH sets peak inductor current via external compensation. The internal 5.4V LDO powers gate drivers from either VBIAS (4.5V–60V) or EXTVCC (4.5V–14V), with automatic switchover at ~4.8V.
It supports three light-load modes selected via PLLIN/MODE: Burst Mode® (pin grounded), pulse-skipping (1.2V < voltage < INTVCC–1.3V), or forced continuous conduction (pin tied to INTVCC). Overvoltage protection behavior is configured by OVMODE, and phase alignment across multiple controllers is managed via PHASMD and CLKOUT pins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 60V; operates down to 2.3V after startup when VBIAS is powered from VOUT - enables wide battery and industrial bus compatibility. |
| Output Voltage Range | Up to 60V; regulated via external resistive divider on VFB - supports high-voltage industrial and medical power rails. |
| Reference Voltage Accuracy | ±1% (1.188V–1.212V) over –55°C to 150°C - ensures stable output regulation across full military-grade temperature range. |
| Quiescent Current | 28μA in pulse-skipping/forced continuous mode; <4μA in shutdown - critical for low-power standby in remote or battery-backed systems. |
| Switching Frequency Range | Programmable 50kHz–900kHz or phase-locked 75kHz–850kHz - allows EMI optimization and inductor size reduction in space-constrained designs. |
| Current Sense Threshold | Selectable 42mV/68mV/90mV via ILIM pin (GND/floating/INTVCC) - enables precise peak-current limiting with RSENSE or DCR sensing. |
| Thermal Performance | θJA = 43°C/W (QFN package); exposed pad must be soldered to GND - supports high-power operation without external heatsink in compact layouts. |
Pinout & Package
28-lead (4mm × 5mm) plastic QFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 29 = GND), rated for –55°C to 150°C junction temperature. Thermally enhanced layout requires direct PCB ground connection to the exposed pad for rated θJA = 43°C/W performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FREQ (Pin 1) | Oscillator frequency control | Resistor-to-GND sets 50kHz–900kHz; DC voltage or tie to INTVCC/GND selects fixed frequencies - enables EMI tuning and layout-driven frequency selection. |
| PLLIN/MODE (Pin 4) | Light-load mode & sync input | Ground = Burst Mode®; INTVCC = forced continuous; mid-voltage = pulse-skipping; external clock = PLL sync - determines efficiency vs. noise trade-off at light loads. |
| SENSE1+/SENSE1– (Pins 2,3) | Channel 1 current sense inputs | Differential inputs with 2.3V–60V common-mode range - supports high-side RSENSE or inductor DCR sensing without level-shifting. |
| VFB (Pin 13) | Feedback voltage input | Compares output voltage (via resistor divider) to 1.200V reference - closed-loop regulation point for output accuracy and stability. |
| ITH (Pin 14) | Error amplifier output & current limit threshold | Voltage sets peak inductor current; also serves as compensation node - integrates loop dynamics and current protection in one node. |
| PGOOD (Pin 28) | Power-good open-drain output | Asserts low when VFB deviates >±10% for ≥45μs - provides system-level fault signaling for downstream logic or sequencing. |
| Exposed Pad (Pin 29) | Thermal & electrical ground | Mandatory GND connection for thermal dissipation and signal integrity - failure to solder causes thermal derating and potential instability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PolyPhase® dual-channel operation | Reduces input/output capacitor requirements by ~50% and lowers RMS ripple current - enables smaller, cooler, lower-cost power stages. |
| Synchronous rectification support | Drives both top and bottom N-MOSFETs with matched gate drive timing (30ns dead-time) - eliminates body-diode conduction loss for >95% efficiency at full load. |
| Wide VIN with ultra-low IQ | 28μA quiescent current over full –55°C to 150°C range - extends battery life in always-on industrial sensors and avionics monitoring systems. |
| Robust overvoltage handling | OVMODE-selectable response: TG1/TG2 forced-on (OVMODE = GND) or normal regulation (OVMODE = INTVCC) - prevents catastrophic overvoltage in fault conditions. |
| Flexible bias architecture | Auto-switching between VBIAS and EXTVCC LDOs (switchover at 4.8V) - reduces heat generation when auxiliary 5V rail is available, improving system thermal margin. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage for LTC3784MPUFD#PBF after startup?
The LTC3784MPUFD#PBF operates down to 2.3V after startup when VBIAS is powered from the output of the boost converter or another auxiliary supply. This enables brownout recovery and operation from partially discharged batteries. During initial startup, however, the minimum input remains 4.5V to ensure proper VBIAS LDO regulation and gate driver functionality.
How does the ILIM pin configure current sensing thresholds on LTC3784MPUFD#PBF?
The ILIM pin on LTC3784MPUFD#PBF selects the maximum current sense threshold: tying to GND sets 42mV, leaving floating sets 68mV, and connecting to INTVCC sets 90mV. These values correspond to peak inductor current limits when using RSENSE or DCR sensing, and matching between SENSE1 and SENSE2 channels is within ±9mV across the full temperature range.
Can LTC3784MPUFD#PBF synchronize to an external clock, and what is the valid frequency range?
Yes, LTC3784MPUFD#PBF supports external synchronization via the PLLIN/MODE pin, with a valid input clock range of 75kHz to 850kHz. The internal PLL locks the rising edge of BG1 to the external clock's rising edge, enabling precise phase alignment across multiple controllers in multiphase systems without requiring additional timing circuitry.
What is the purpose of the EXTVCC pin on LTC3784MPUFD#PBF, and how should it be used?
The EXTVCC pin on LTC3784MPUFD#PBF provides an alternative input to the internal 5.4V LDO that powers gate drivers and control circuits. When EXTVCC exceeds ~4.8V, it disables the VBIAS LDO and powers INTVCC directly - reducing power dissipation and heat generation when a clean 5V auxiliary supply is available, especially beneficial in thermally constrained high-power designs.
Does LTC3784MPUFD#PBF support both RSENSE and inductor DCR current sensing?
Yes, LTC3784MPUFD#PBF supports both methods: RSENSE sensing uses dedicated SENSE+ and SENSE– pins with 2.3V–60V common-mode range, while DCR sensing leverages the same pins with optional RC network filtering. The current comparator's ±9mV matching and 42mV/68mV/90mV selectable thresholds accommodate both approaches without external amplification.
