Overview
LTC3787IGN#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 industrial and automotive systems. It supports 4.5V–38V input, delivers up to 60V output, operates down to 2.5V after startup, features ±1% 1.200V reference accuracy, and enables 2-/3-/4-/6-/12-phase configurations via PolyPhase® architecture.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3787IGN#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3787IGN#TRPBF pinout, LTC3787IGN#TRPBF application, or LTC3787IGN#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 28-pin SSOP package, phase-lockable 75kHz–850kHz switching frequency, RSENSE/DCR current sensing, 100% duty cycle capability, and thermally enhanced operation across –40°C to 125°C.
Technical Context
The LTC3787IGN#TRPBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control with two out-of-phase N-channel MOSFET drivers, enabling interleaved operation that reduces input/output ripple and capacitor stress. Its dual-channel architecture supports independent current sensing per phase using either external sense resistors or inductor DCR, with matching tolerance of ±12mV between SENSE1 and SENSE2 maximum thresholds.
Internal circuitry includes a 5.4V LDO (INTVCC) powered from VBIAS or EXTVCC, a PLL-based synchronization engine for multi-controller daisy-chaining, and three selectable light-load modes-Burst Mode®, pulse-skipping, or forced continuous-controlled via the PLLIN/MODE pin with defined voltage thresholds and hysteresis.

28-lead plastic SSOP package (GN), 10.2mm × 5.3mm body, 0.635mm pitch, exposed pad not present (unlike QFN UFD variant). Pin 1 marked by notch/dot; pin 1 is ILIM.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ILIM (Pin 1) | Current limit threshold select | Configures peak sense voltage to 42mV (GND), 68mV (float), or 90mV (INTVCC) - sets overcurrent trip point per phase. |
| SENSE1+/SENSE1– (Pins 2,3) | Phase 1 current sense differential input | Accepts 2.5V–38V common-mode voltage; supports RSENSE or DCR sensing with ±12mV matching vs SENSE2. |
| FREQ (Pin 4) | Oscillator frequency programming | Resistor-to-GND sets 50kHz–900kHz; direct DC voltage or INTVCC/GND selects fixed frequencies (350kHz/535kHz). |
| PHASMD (Pin 5) | Phase relationship control | Float/SGND/INTVCC configures 0°/180°/90° phase offset between BG1/BG2 and CLKOUT for multiphase synchronization. |
| CLKOUT (Pin 6) | Multiphase daisy-chain clock output | Drives next LTC3787's PLLIN/MODE; swing between SGND and INTVCC; timing referenced to BG1 edge. |
| PLLIN/MODE (Pin 7) | Sync input / light-load mode select | External clock input (75kHz–850kHz) or voltage-selectable mode: GND=Burst, INTVCC=continuous, 1.2V–(INTVCC−1.3V)=pulse-skip. |
| SS (Pin 10) | Soft-start ramp control | Capacitor-to-SGND sets linear VOUT ramp rate; internal 10μA current charges capacitor from 0V to 1.2V. |
| VFB (Pin 13) | Feedback voltage input | Compares output divider voltage against 1.200V reference; ±5nA input bias enables high-resistance dividers. |
| ITH (Pin 14) | Error amplifier output / current limit threshold | Voltage sets per-phase peak inductor current; range ~0.425V–2V; also used for loop compensation. |
| SW1/SW2 (Pins 16,27) | Switch node connections | Connect to source of sync FET and drain of main FET; high dv/dt nodes requiring tight layout and Kelvin sensing. |
| TG1/TG2 (Pins 17,26) | Top gate drive outputs | Drive gates of synchronous N-MOSFETs; 1.2Ω pull-up/pull-down resistance supports fast 20ns rise/fall times. |
| BOOST1/BOOST2 (Pins 18,25) | Floating bootstrap supplies | Bypassed to SWx with ceramic caps; powered via Schottky diode from INTVCC - enables high-side N-FET drive. |
| PGND (Pin 22) | Power ground return | Return path for bottom FET sources and CIN/COUT negatives; must tie to SGND at single point to avoid noise coupling. |
| INTVCC (Pin 20) | Internal 5.4V LDO output | Supplies control logic and gate drivers; decoupled with ≥4.7μF low-ESR ceramic; regulated to ±2% load line. |
| VBIAS (Pin 23) | Main bias supply input | Primary power source (4.5V–38V); powers INTVCC LDO when EXTVCC <4.8V; bypass capacitor required. |
| PGOOD (Pin 28) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Pulled low when VOUT deviates >±10% from regulation; 25μs delay prevents false triggering during transients. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous boost controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3787IUFD#TRPBF | Same die, 28-pin 4mm×5mm QFN package with θJA = 43°C/W (vs 90°C/W for SSOP); exposed pad requires soldered GND connection. | Better thermal performance for high-current (>15A) or compact layouts; unsuitable where SSOP footprint or leaded assembly is mandated. | Select when board space and thermal headroom are constrained; verify PCB land pattern matches UFD package dimensions and thermal pad requirements. |
| LT8337EFE#TRPBF | Single-phase 60V boost controller; 125°C rating; integrated 2.5A switch; no PolyPhase® or multi-phase sync capability. | Lower BOM count for ≤5A applications; lacks phase interleaving, current matching, or CLKOUT daisy-chaining functionality. | Choose for cost-sensitive, lower-power designs where interleaving benefits are unnecessary and integrated switch suffices. |
Compared with LTC3787IGN#TRPBF, the IUFD variant offers superior thermal performance in space-constrained layouts but requires QFN reflow and grounding, while LT8337EFE simplifies design for sub-5A needs but forfeits multi-phase scalability and precision current balancing.

FAQ
What is the absolute maximum input voltage rating for the LTC3787IGN#TRPBF?
The LTC3787IGN#TRPBF has an absolute maximum VBIAS rating of 40V. Continuous operation above 38V violates the recommended operating condition and risks permanent damage. The device is rated for 4.5V to 38V normal operation, with transient ride-through down to 2.5V after startup-making it suitable for 24V automotive systems experiencing load dump or cold-crank events.
Can the LTC3787IGN#TRPBF operate in single-phase mode?
Yes, the LTC3787IGN#TRPBF can be configured for single-phase operation by connecting both TG1/TG2 and BG1/BG2 outputs in parallel and disabling one channel's current sense inputs. However, this forfeits interleaving benefits and requires external current sharing mechanisms. The IC's native design targets dual-phase or higher PolyPhase® configurations for optimal ripple reduction and thermal distribution.
How does the ILIM pin affect current limiting on the LTC3787IGN#TRPBF?
The ILIM pin on the LTC3787IGN#TRPBF selects the peak current sense threshold: grounded = 42mV, floating = 68mV, tied to INTVCC = 90mV. This directly sets the maximum allowable inductor current per phase before the current comparator trips. Matching tolerance between SENSE1 and SENSE2 is ±12mV, ensuring balanced phase current sharing without external calibration.
What is the purpose of the PHASMD pin on the LTC3787IGN#TRPBF?
The PHASMD pin on the LTC3787IGN#TRPBF controls the phase relationship between the two bottom gate drivers (BG1/BG2) and the CLKOUT signal. When floated, it defaults to 180° phase shift; tied to SGND it forces 0° (in-phase); tied to INTVCC it sets 90° offset. This enables precise synchronization in multi-phase systems-critical for reducing input ripple and avoiding beat frequencies in stacked converters.
Does the LTC3787IGN#TRPBF support external current sensing using DCR?
Yes, the LTC3787IGN#TRPBF supports both RSENSE and inductor DCR current sensing. The SENSE+ pins provide bias current to the DCR network, and the common-mode voltage range (2.5V–38V) accommodates high-side or low-side DCR placement. DCR sensing eliminates power loss from discrete sense resistors-improving efficiency in high-current applications like motor drive bias supplies.
