Product details
Overview
LTC3787EGN#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual-phase synchronous boost controller IC driving two N-channel MOSFET stages out-of-phase to reduce input/output capacitance and power supply noise. It supports 4.5V–38V input, up to 60V output, ±1% 1.200V reference, and operates down to 2.5V after start-up - ideal for high-power industrial DC-DC boost conversion in battery-powered or wide-input systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3787EGN#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3787EGN#TRPBF pinout, LTC3787EGN#TRPBF application, or LTC3787EGN#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include phase-lockable frequency (75–850 kHz), RSENSE/DCR current sensing, 100% duty cycle capability, low 135μA quiescent current, and thermally enhanced 28-pin SSOP package with –40°C to 125°C operation.
Technical Context
The LTC3787EGN#TRPBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control with two independent, out-of-phase channels using external N-MOSFETs. Its error amplifier compares VFB against a precise 1.200V reference, modulating ITH voltage to regulate peak inductor current per phase. The internal 5.4V LDO (INTVCC) powers gate drivers and logic, optionally bypassed via EXTVCC ≥4.8V to reduce thermal load.
Phase relationship between BG1/BG2 and CLKOUT is programmable via PHASMD; PLLIN/MODE selects Burst Mode®, pulse-skipping, or forced continuous conduction at light loads. Current sensing supports both sense-resistor (RSENSE) and inductor DCR configurations, with matched ±12mV VSENSE threshold matching across channels and 2.5V–38V common-mode range on SENSE+/- pins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 38V (abs max 40V); operates down to 2.5V after start-up - enables compatibility with 12V/24V industrial buses and Li-ion/LiFePO₄ battery stacks. |
| Output Voltage Range | Up to 60V - supports high-voltage rail generation for LED drivers, industrial sensors, and telecom interfaces. |
| Reference Voltage Accuracy | ±1% at 1.200V - ensures tight output regulation over temperature and line/load variations. |

Pinout & Package
Package: 28-Lead Plastic SSOP (GN), thermally enhanced with θJA = 90°C/W; operating junction temperature range –40°C to 125°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FREQ (Pin 1) | Oscillator frequency control | Resistor-to-GND sets 50–900kHz; direct DC voltage or tie to INTVCC/GND for fixed frequencies - enables precise EMI tuning and layout-driven frequency selection. |
| PLLIN/MODE (Pin 4) | Light-load mode & sync input | GND = Burst Mode®; INTVCC = forced continuous; 1.2V–(INTVCC–1.3V) = pulse-skipping; external clock = synchronization - critical for efficiency vs. noise trade-offs in variable-load systems. |
| SENSE1+/SENSE1– (Pins 2,3) | Channel 1 current sense inputs | Accept 2.5V–38V common-mode voltage; support RSENSE or DCR sensing - allows placement at input side of boost stage without level-shifting. |
| VFB (Pin 10) | Error amplifier feedback input | Compares remote output voltage (via resistor divider) to 1.200V reference - enables accurate regulation despite PCB trace IR drop. |
| ITH (Pin 11) | Error amplifier output & current limit threshold | Voltage sets peak inductor current per phase; compensation network connects here - central node for loop stability and current limiting design. |
| PGOOD (Pin 25) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Asserts low when VOUT deviates >±10% for ≥25μs - provides system-level fault signaling for sequencers or microcontrollers. |
| ILIM (Pin 26) | Current sense threshold select | GND/float/INTVCC configures 50mV/75mV/100mV trip point - matches sense element value and optimizes SNR vs. conduction loss. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 2-phase PolyPhase® operation | Reduces RMS input/output capacitor currents by ~70% vs. single-phase, enabling smaller bulk capacitors and lower EMI filter cost. |
| Synchronous rectification | Eliminates external Schottky diode losses, increasing full-load efficiency by 3–5% and reducing thermal stress on main MOSFETs. |
| 100% duty cycle capability | Allows seamless transition to dropout conditions (e.g., VIN ≈ VOUT), maintaining regulation during brownouts or cold cranking. |
| Internal 5.4V LDO with EXTVCC switchover | Reduces power dissipation by bypassing VBIAS LDO when external 5V rail is available - improves thermal margin in high-current designs. |
| Programmable soft-start via SS pin | 10μA internal current charges external capacitor, linearly ramping VOUT - prevents inrush current and output overshoot during power-up. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous boost controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3781EGN#TRPBF | Single-phase, same pinout but no CLKOUT/PHASMD; 50kHz–900kHz freq; 135μA IQ; 4.5V–38V VIN | Lacks multiphase capability and synchronization features - suitable only for lower-power (<5A) or space-constrained designs where interleaving is unnecessary. | Select when phase count and daisy-chaining are not required; saves board area and BOM cost for simpler boost needs. |
| LM5122MMX/NOPB | Single-phase controller; 3V–65V VIN; 100kHz–1MHz freq; 100μA IQ; integrated gate drivers; no DCR sensing | Higher input voltage range and lower quiescent current, but lacks PolyPhase® architecture, phase sync, and DCR current sensing support. | Prefer for ultra-wide input (e.g., 3–65V) or where integrated drivers simplify layout; avoid when interleaved current sharing or DCR sensing is mandatory. |
Compared with LTC3781EGN#TRPBF and LM5122MMX/NOPB, the LTC3787EGN#TRPBF uniquely delivers dual-phase interleaving, programmable phase offset, and robust DCR/RSENSE flexibility - essential for high-current, low-EMI, and thermally constrained industrial and automotive boost converters.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage supported by the LTC3787EGN#TRPBF?
The LTC3787EGN#TRPBF supports output voltages up to 60V. This is enabled by its high-voltage gate driver architecture and 76V absolute maximum rating on BOOST1/BOOST2 pins. The actual achievable output depends on external MOSFET voltage ratings, inductor saturation current, and output capacitor voltage derating - but the controller itself regulates stably within this 60V ceiling.
Does the LTC3787EGN#TRPBF support inductor DCR current sensing?
Yes, the LTC3787EGN#TRPBF explicitly supports both RSENSE and inductor DCR current sensing. Its SENSE+/- pins feature a 2.5V–38V common-mode range and internal filtering optimized for DCR-based sensing, eliminating the need for external amplifiers or RC networks in many designs. The ILIM pin selects full-scale sense thresholds compatible with typical DCR values.
What package type and temperature grade does the LTC3787EGN#TRPBF use?
The LTC3787EGN#TRPBF uses a 28-lead plastic SSOP (GN) package and is rated for operation from –40°C to +125°C junction temperature. This industrial-grade temperature range, combined with its exposed-pad-compatible SSOP thermal design, makes it suitable for demanding environments including automotive under-hood and industrial control cabinets.
How does the LTC3787EGN#TRPBF achieve low quiescent current in light-load conditions?
The LTC3787EGN#TRPBF achieves 135μA quiescent current in pulse-skipping or forced continuous mode, and <8μA in shutdown, via adaptive circuitry that disables non-essential blocks during low-power states. In Burst Mode®, internal sleep logic turns off gate drivers and oscillator sections between bursts, while retaining fast wake-up response - all without compromising regulation accuracy or transient performance.
Can the LTC3787EGN#TRPBF be synchronized to an external clock source?
Yes, the LTC3787EGN#TRPBF supports external synchronization via the PLLIN/MODE pin. When an external clock signal (75kHz–850kHz) is applied, its internal phase-locked loop locks the rising edge of BG1 to the external clock's rising edge. This enables deterministic timing across multiple converters in stacked or parallel power systems, reducing beat frequencies and simplifying EMI filter design.
