Product details
Overview
LTC3787EUFD#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual-phase synchronous boost controller IC designed for high-efficiency, high-power DC/DC conversion in demanding industrial and automotive systems. It delivers up to 60V output from 4.5V–38V input (operating down to 2.5V post-startup), supports RSENSE or DCR current sensing, and features ±1% 1.200V reference accuracy with 135μA quiescent current.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3787EUFD#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3787EUFD#TRPBF pinout, LTC3787EUFD#TRPBF application, or LTC3787EUFD#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include phase-lockable frequency (75–850kHz), 28-pin 4mm × 5mm QFN package thermal performance (θJA = 43°C/W), PolyPhase® 2-/3-/4-/6-/12-phase scalability, and support for Burst Mode®, pulse-skipping, or forced continuous operation at light loads.
Technical Context
The LTC3787EUFD#TRPBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control across two out-of-phase N-channel MOSFET stages, using an internal error amplifier (gm = 2 mmho) and dual independent current comparators with matched sense thresholds (±12 mV matching). Its architecture enables precise peak-current regulation via the ITH pin while maintaining stable servo-loop feedback through the VFB pin referenced to a trimmed 1.200V bandgap.
It integrates a programmable oscillator (50–900kHz fixed or 75–850kHz PLL-synchronized), dual gate drivers with 1.2Ω pull-up/pull-down resistance and 70ns dead-time control, and a thermally enhanced 5.4V INTVCC LDO powered either from VBIAS (4.5–38V) or EXTVCC (4.8–6V), enabling efficient gate drive under wide input conditions.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Thermally enhanced 28-pin 4mm × 5mm plastic QFN (UFD) package with exposed GND pad (Pin 29) requiring PCB solder connection for rated thermal performance (θJA = 43°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW1, SW2 | Switch Node | Connects to source of synchronous NMOS and drain of main NMOS - defines high-side switching node for each phase. |
| TG1, TG2 | Top Gate Driver Output | Drives gate of synchronous rectifier NMOS - supports 100% duty cycle operation for low-VIN boost scenarios. |
| BG1, BG2 | Bottom Gate Driver Output | Drives gate of main power NMOS - includes 70ns dead-time control to prevent shoot-through. |
| SENSE1+, SENSE1− SENSE2+, SENSE2− | Dual Differential Current Sense Inputs | Accepts RSENSE or DCR-based sensing with 2.5V–38V common-mode range - enables accurate per-phase current limiting and sharing. |

FAQ
What is the absolute maximum input voltage rating for the LTC3787EUFD#TRPBF?
The LTC3787EUFD#TRPBF has an absolute maximum VBIAS rating of 40V, with recommended operating range of 4.5V to 38V. The SENSE pins tolerate up to 40V common-mode voltage, and BOOST1/BOOST2 pins withstand up to 76V. Exceeding 40V on VBIAS risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Does the LTC3787EUFD#TRPBF support inductor DCR current sensing?
Yes, the LTC3787EUFD#TRPBF supports both RSENSE and inductor DCR current sensing. Its SENSE+ and SENSE− inputs feature a 2.5V–38V common-mode range and internal filtering optimized for DCR-based sensing, eliminating the need for discrete sense resistors and reducing power loss.
What is the thermal performance difference between the UFD and GN packages of the LTC3787EUFD#TRPBF?
The LTC3787EUFD#TRPBF uses the 28-pin 4mm × 5mm QFN (UFD) package with θJA = 43°C/W, while the SSOP (GN) variant has θJA = 90°C/W. This 2× lower thermal resistance enables the UFD package to sustain ~2.1× higher power dissipation at the same ambient temperature - critical for high-current boost applications.
How does the PLLIN/MODE pin configure light-load operation on the LTC3787EUFD#TRPBF?
The LTC3787EUFD#TRPBF uses the PLLIN/MODE pin to select light-load behavior: tie to SGND for Burst Mode® (135μA IQ), to INTVCC for forced continuous conduction, or to a 1.2V–(INTVCC−1.3V) voltage for pulse-skipping. An internal 100kΩ pull-down also defaults to Burst Mode® when the pin is floating.
Can the LTC3787EUFD#TRPBF be configured for single-phase operation?
Yes, the LTC3787EUFD#TRPBF can operate in single-phase mode by connecting both TG/BOOST/SW/BG/SENSE channels in parallel and disabling one phase via PHASMD pin configuration. However, its full value is realized in dual-phase or PolyPhase® configurations where ripple cancellation and thermal spreading provide measurable system-level benefits.
