Product details
Overview
LTC3787HUFD#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 or DCR current sensing in industrial and automotive high-power boost applications.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3787HUFD#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3787HUFD#TRPBF pinout, LTC3787HUFD#TRPBF application, or LTC3787HUFD#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 2–12-phase PolyPhase® capability, 75kHz–850kHz phase-lockable frequency, 135μA quiescent current in pulse-skipping mode, thermally enhanced 4mm × 5mm QFN package rated for –40°C to 150°C junction temperature, and dual independent current-sense channels with matched thresholds.
Technical Context
The LTC3787HUFD#TRPBF 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, modulating ITH voltage to regulate peak inductor current per channel. The internal 5.4V LDO powers gate drivers from either VBIAS (via INTVCC) or EXTVCC (switchover at 4.8V), enabling efficient biasing across wide input ranges.
Phase synchronization is achieved via PLLIN/MODE pin, supporting external clock locking (75kHz–850kHz), Burst Mode®, pulse-skipping, or forced continuous operation. Current sensing uses differential SENSE+ and SENSE– inputs with common-mode range of 2.5V–38V and programmable trip thresholds (42mV/68mV/90mV) set by ILIM pin state (GND/floating/INTVCC).
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 28-lead (4mm × 5mm) plastic QFN with exposed pad (Pin 29 = GND), θJA = 43°C/W. Requires soldered thermal pad for rated 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 precise EMI management. |
| PLLIN/MODE (Pin 4) | Sync input / light-load mode select | Accepts external clock (75kHz–850kHz) for phase locking; configures Burst Mode® (GND), pulse-skipping (1.2V–INTVCC−1.3V), or forced continuous (INTVCC). |
| SENSE1+/SENSE1– (Pins 2,3) | Differential current sense inputs (Channel 1) | Supports RSENSE or DCR sensing with 2.5V–38V common-mode range; matched to SENSE2± within ±12mV - critical for balanced multiphase current sharing. |
| VFB (Pin 10) | Error amplifier feedback input | Compares remote output voltage (via resistor divider) to 1.200V reference - determines output regulation accuracy and loop stability. |
| ITH (Pin 11) | Error amplifier output / current limit threshold | Directly sets peak inductor current per phase; voltage range 0.425V–2V defines minimum/maximum current limits - core of current-mode control loop. |
| PGOOD (Pin 25) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Asserts low when VOUT deviates >±10% from regulation for ≥25μs - enables system-level fault detection and sequencing. |
| EXPOSED PAD (Pin 29) | Thermal ground | Mandatory PCB connection to GND plane - essential for achieving θJA = 43°C/W and reliable 150°C operation. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage supported by the LTC3787HUFD#TRPBF?
The LTC3787HUFD#TRPBF supports output voltages up to 60V. This capability is enabled by its high-voltage gate drivers and robust 70V absolute maximum ratings on SW1/SW2 pins, making it suitable for high-bus applications such as 48V industrial systems and medical imaging bias supplies. The actual achievable output depends on external MOSFET selection, inductor rating, and loop compensation stability.
How does the LTC3787HUFD#TRPBF achieve thermal resilience in automotive under-hood environments?
The LTC3787HUFD#TRPBF achieves thermal resilience through its H-grade qualification (–40°C to 150°C junction temperature), 4mm × 5mm QFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 29), and low 43°C/W θJA. When properly soldered to a 4-layer PCB with thermal vias to inner ground planes, the LTC3787HUFD#TRPBF sustains continuous operation at full load in ambient temperatures exceeding 105°C - meeting AEC-Q100 Grade 0 requirements with margin.
Can the LTC3787HUFD#TRPBF operate with only one phase enabled?
Yes, the LTC3787HUFD#TRPBF can be configured for single-phase operation by grounding PHASMD and disabling one channel's gate drive signals externally. However, its architecture is optimized for 2-phase interleaving; single-phase use forfeits input/output ripple reduction and requires larger magnetics and capacitors. For dedicated single-phase designs, Linear's LTC3781 is a more appropriate alternative.
What is the role of the EXTVCC pin on the LTC3787HUFD#TRPBF, and when should it be used?
The EXTVCC pin on the LTC3787HUFD#TRPBF provides an auxiliary 4.8V–6V input to bypass the internal VBIAS LDO and directly power INTVCC. It should be used when system-level efficiency is critical and a clean, low-noise 5V supply is available - reducing thermal dissipation in the controller and improving PSRR. Leaving EXTVCC unconnected defaults to VBIAS-powered operation.
How does the LTC3787HUFD#TRPBF handle current sensing mismatch between its two phases?
The LTC3787HUFD#TRPBF guarantees current sense threshold matching of ≤±12mV between Channel 1 and Channel 2 when ILIM is tied to the same reference (e.g., INTVCC). This matching, combined with independent ITH control per phase, ensures balanced current sharing across temperature and load. External layout symmetry (matched trace lengths, Kelvin connections) remains essential to preserve this matching in production.
