Product details
Overview
LTC3787HGN#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual-phase 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–38V input (down to 2.5V post-startup), delivers up to 60V output, features ±1% 1.200V reference, and supports RSENSE/DCR current sensing in industrial and automotive power systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3787HGN#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3787HGN#TRPBF pinout, LTC3787HGN#TRPBF application, or LTC3787HGN#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, phase-locked frequency control (75–850 kHz), 28-pin SSOP package details, and validated alternatives for high-efficiency boost converter design.
Technical Context
The LTC3787HGN#TRPBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control with two independent channels operating 180° out-of-phase. Its error amplifier compares VFB against a 1.200V reference, modulating ITH voltage to regulate peak inductor current per channel based on load demand.
It integrates a phase-locked loop for external clock synchronization, programmable oscillator (50–900 kHz), and three light-load modes-Burst Mode®, pulse-skipping, and forced continuous-selected via PLLIN/MODE pin voltage. Internal 5.4V LDO powers gate drivers from VBIAS or EXTVCC, with thermal protection and 100% duty cycle capability.
Key Specifications

| Output Voltage Range | Up to 60V - supports high-voltage industrial and automotive loads like LED strings or auxiliary rails. |
| Reference Voltage | ±1% 1.200V - ensures tight output regulation across temperature and line/load variations. |
| Quiescent Current | 135μA in pulse-skipping/forced continuous mode - minimizes standby power loss in always-on systems. |
| Switching Frequency | Programmable 50kHz–900kHz or syncable 75kHz–850kHz - allows EMI optimization and inductor size reduction. |
| Current Sensing | RSENSE or inductor DCR - eliminates sense resistor losses or enables low-cost, high-efficiency sensing. |
| Shutdown Current | <8μA - critical for ultra-low-power wake-up circuits and battery-backed applications. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-Lead Plastic SSOP (GN), –40°C to +150°C operating junction temperature, θJA = 90°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous boost controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT8337EDD#TRPBF | Single-phase, 60V output, 3.5A integrated switch; no phase-locking or multi-phase support. | Lower power (≤30W), space-constrained designs where interleaving is unnecessary. | Select when board area is limited and ≤30W output suffices; avoids external MOSFET layout complexity. |
| MP9942GQ-P | Single-phase, 40V output, 2A integrated switch; fixed 500kHz frequency; no DCR sensing or PGOOD. | Cost-sensitive consumer-grade boost applications with moderate efficiency requirements. | Choose for BOM cost reduction in non-critical 12V→24V/36V conversions where thermal margin is ample. |
Compared with LT8337EDD#TRPBF and MP9942GQ-P, the LTC3787HGN#TRPBF uniquely delivers dual-phase interleaving, 60V output capability, and robust 150°C operation - making it the only option for high-power, high-reliability, thermally constrained boost systems requiring ripple cancellation and extended temperature support.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage supported by the LTC3787HGN#TRPBF?
The LTC3787HGN#TRPBF supports an output voltage up to 60V. This is achieved through external MOSFET selection and proper gate drive design using BOOST1/BOOST2 pins. The controller itself does not regulate beyond this limit, and system-level voltage ratings must account for MOSFET breakdown voltage, snubber margins, and transient overshoot. The LTC3787HGN#TRPBF's internal circuitry remains functional and protected within its specified 40V absolute maximum ratings on all relevant pins.
Does the LTC3787HGN#TRPBF support DCR current sensing, and how is it configured?
Yes, the LTC3787HGN#TRPBF supports both RSENSE and inductor DCR current sensing. For DCR sensing, the SENSE+ and SENSE– pins connect across an RC network placed in series with the inductor; the RC time constant matches the inductor's L/R ratio to generate a voltage proportional to current. The LTC3787HGN#TRPBF's current comparator accepts the resulting differential signal with 2.5V–38V common-mode range and ±0.3V differential limit. No additional op-amp compensation is required for basic implementation.
What are the key differences between the LTC3787HGN#TRPBF and the standard LTC3787EGN#TRPBF?
The LTC3787HGN#TRPBF is rated for –40°C to +150°C operating junction temperature, while the LTC3787EGN#TRPBF is specified for 0°C to +85°C. Both share identical pinout, electrical specifications, and functionality. The H-grade variant undergoes extended characterization and screening to guarantee performance across the wider temperature range, making it suitable for under-hood automotive and high-ambient industrial applications where thermal derating is unacceptable. The LTC3787HGN#TRPBF uses the same 28-lead SSOP package and marking "3787".
How does the PLLIN/MODE pin configure light-load operation on the LTC3787HGN#TRPBF?
The PLLIN/MODE pin selects light-load behavior: grounding it enables Burst Mode® (135μA IQ), tying it to INTVCC forces continuous conduction, and applying 1.2V–(INTVCC–1.3V) enables pulse-skipping. An internal 100kΩ pull-down ensures Burst Mode® if left floating. Each mode affects efficiency, output ripple, and EMI profile - Burst Mode® maximizes light-load efficiency but increases ripple, while forced continuous offers lowest noise at the cost of higher quiescent loss. The LTC3787HGN#TRPBF's behavior is identical across temperature grades.
Can the LTC3787HGN#TRPBF be synchronized to an external clock, and what is the valid frequency range?
Yes, the LTC3787HGN#TRPBF supports external synchronization via the PLLIN/MODE pin. When driven with a clean CMOS/TTL clock, the internal PLL locks the rising edge of BG1 to the external clock's rising edge. Valid synchronization frequency is 75kHz to 850kHz. The LTC3787HGN#TRPBF maintains phase accuracy and jitter performance across its full operating temperature range, and synchronization remains stable even during input transients or load steps that would disrupt free-running oscillation.
