Product details
Overview
LTC3787MPGN#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-performance PolyPhase® synchronous boost controller driving two out-of-phase N-channel MOSFET stages. It supports 4.5V–38V input, up to 60V output, ±1% 1.200V reference, and operates down to 2.5V after startup - enabling robust 12V-to-24V/10A industrial power conversion in harsh environments.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3787MPGN#PBF datasheet, LTC3787MPGN#PBF pinout, LTC3787MPGN#PBF application, or LTC3787MPGN#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its –55°C to 150°C extended temperature rating, dual-phase current sensing (RSENSE or DCR), 75kHz–850kHz phase-lockable frequency, and thermally enhanced 28-pin SSOP package with exposed thermal pad compatibility.
Technical Context
The LTC3787MPGN#PBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control with two independent 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 or EXTVCC, with automatic switchover at 4.8V.
It features three light-load operation modes selected via PLLIN/MODE: Burst Mode® (grounded), pulse-skipping (1.2V < V < INTVCC–1.3V), or forced continuous (tied to INTVCC). Phase synchronization is achieved via internal PLL locking BG1 edge to external clock, supporting scalable multiphase systems up to 12 phases.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 38V (40V abs max); operates down to 2.5V after startup - enables wide battery and bus voltage compatibility including 12V automotive and 24V industrial rails. |
| Output Voltage Range | Up to 60V - supports high-voltage LED drivers, telecom power, and industrial sensors requiring boosted supplies. |
| Reference Voltage Accuracy | ±1% at 1.200V - ensures tight output regulation across temperature and load for precision power applications. |
| Quiescent Current | 135μA in pulse-skipping mode - minimizes standby losses in always-on systems like medical monitors or military avionics. |
| Switching Frequency Range | 50kHz to 900kHz programmable; 75kHz to 850kHz synchronizable - allows EMI optimization and inductor size reduction while maintaining phase alignment in multi-controller designs. |
| Current Sense Options | RSENSE or inductor DCR sensing - eliminates sense resistor power loss in high-current designs or simplifies layout with integrated DCR monitoring. |
| Shutdown Current | <8μA - meets ultra-low-power requirements for cold-spare subsystems in aerospace and defense platforms. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-Lead Plastic SSOP (GN), –55°C to 150°C operating range, exposed thermal pad not present (SSOP variant); θJA = 90°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SENSE1+, SENSE2+ | Positive current sense comparator input | Accepts common-mode voltage from 2.5V to 38V; powers internal comparator; used with shunt or DCR sensing network. |
| SENSE1–, SENSE2– | Negative current sense comparator input | Differential pair with SENSE+; supports ≤0.3V differential input for accurate peak current detection. |
| TG1, TG2 | Top gate driver output | Drives gate of synchronous N-MOSFET; 1.2Ω pull-up/pull-down; 20ns rise/fall time into 3300pF load. |
| BG1, BG2 | Bottom gate driver output | Drives gate of main N-MOSFET; includes 70ns dead-time control to prevent shoot-through. |
| VFB | Error amplifier feedback input | Compares resistive divider output against 1.200V reference; ±5nA input bias enables high-impedance feedback networks. |
| ITH | Error amplifier output / current limit threshold | Directly sets peak inductor current per phase; voltage range 0.425V–2V defines current limit window. |
| PLLIN/MODE | External sync input / light-load mode select | Accepts 75kHz–850kHz clock for phase lock; logic level selects Burst Mode®, pulse-skipping, or forced continuous conduction. |
| PGOOD | Open-drain power-good indicator | Asserts low when VOUT deviates >±10% from regulation; 25μs delay prevents false triggering during transients. |
| RUN | Enable/shutdown control | 1.28V threshold with 100mV hysteresis; sinking <0.7V reduces IQ to 8μA - enables system-level power sequencing. |
| SS | Soft-start ramp control | Internal 10μA current charges external capacitor; linear 0V→1.2V ramp controls VOUT slew rate during startup. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous boost controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3787HUFD#PBF | Same die, 4mm × 5mm QFN package with θJA = 43°C/W; rated –40°C to 150°C (not –55°C). | Preferred for space-constrained PCBs needing superior thermal performance; unsuitable for cryogenic storage or deep cold-start scenarios. | Select when board real estate is limited and ambient temperature stays ≥–40°C - avoids SSOP mechanical stress in high-vibration environments. |
| LTC3787MPUFD#PBF | Same die, QFN package; identical –55°C to 150°C rating but uses different thermal pad construction and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3 vs MSL 1 for GN). | Required for reflow-compatible high-volume SMT lines; supports automated optical inspection due to exposed pad visibility. | Choose for production scalability and IPC-compliant assembly - retains full military-grade temperature performance without SSOP lead-forming tooling. |
Compared with LTC3787MPGN#PBF, the QFN alternatives offer lower thermal resistance and better manufacturability, while the SSOP version provides legacy footprint compatibility, higher creepage, and proven reliability in long-lifecycle military hardware where rework is impractical.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC3787MPGN#PBF?
The LTC3787MPGN#PBF is tested and guaranteed over the full –55°C to 150°C junction temperature range, making it suitable for military, aerospace, and under-hood automotive applications. This rating exceeds standard industrial (–40°C to 125°C) and automotive (–40°C to 125°C) grades, and is validated per MIL-PRF-38535 Class H requirements.
Does the LTC3787MPGN#PBF support both RSENSE and DCR current sensing?
Yes, the LTC3787MPGN#PBF supports both methods: direct shunt resistor (RSENSE) sensing on SENSE1+/SENSE1– and SENSE2+/SENSE2– pins, and lossless inductor DCR sensing using the same pins with appropriate RC network filtering. The device automatically adapts gain and filtering based on external component selection.
How does the RUN pin function on the LTC3787MPGN#PBF?
The RUN pin on the LTC3787MPGN#PBF provides dual-stage shutdown: pulling below 1.28V disables control loops only, while pulling below 0.7V shuts down all internal circuitry including the INTVCC LDO, reducing quiescent current to <8μA. An internal 4.5μA current source enables resistor-divider hysteresis programming for clean power sequencing.
Can the LTC3787MPGN#PBF be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, the LTC3787MPGN#PBF supports external synchronization via the PLLIN/MODE pin, accepting clocks from 75kHz to 850kHz. When driven externally, the internal PLL locks the rising edge of BG1 to the external clock's rising edge - enabling precise phase alignment across multiple LTC3787MPGN#PBF units in multiphase or parallel configurations.
What package type and thermal characteristics does the LTC3787MPGN#PBF use?
The LTC3787MPGN#PBF uses a 28-lead plastic SSOP (GN) package with θJA = 90°C/W. Unlike the QFN variants, it has no exposed thermal pad but offers higher creepage and legacy compatibility. Its –55°C to 150°C rating is achieved through wafer-level screening and burn-in, not package enhancement.
