Overview
LTC3813IG#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 100V synchronous step-up DC/DC controller IC using constant off-time peak current mode control, delivering ±0.5% output voltage regulation accuracy, 25MHz error amplifier bandwidth, and programmable switching frequency up to ~300kHz for high-voltage telecom power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3813IG#PBF datasheet, LTC3813IG#PBF pinout, LTC3813IG#PBF application, or LTC3813IG#PBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed thermal grade (–40°C to 125°C), real-world gate drive capability (1.5A peak, 1Ω RDS(ON)), and two documented alternative controllers with explicit functional and application-level differences.
Technical Context
The LTC3813IG#PBF implements a constant off-time (COT) current-mode architecture with cycle-by-cycle current limiting-no external sense resistor required when using MOSFET RDS(ON) sensing. Its 25MHz error amplifier enables sub-100μs load transient response, and the adjustable off-time (tOFF(MIN) < 100ns) supports high-frequency operation at input voltages from 7V to 40V.
It integrates dual N-channel MOSFET drivers (TG and BG), a 10V internal LDO (INTVCC), EXTVCC switchover logic, programmable undervoltage lockout (UVLO), output overvoltage protection, and PGOOD monitoring with ±10% threshold hysteresis. The device operates in a 28-pin SSOP package rated for –40°C to 125°C junction temperature.

Pinout & Package
Package: 28-lead plastic SSOP (G package), lead-free finish, JEDEC standard footprint (5.6mm × 10.2mm), thermal pad not present.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IOFF (1) | Off-time current input | Sets one-shot timer current; resistor from VOUT determines switching frequency (e.g., 100kΩ → ~250kHz). |
| VOFF (4) | Off-time voltage input | Adjusts on-time comparator trip point; tied to VIN divider for VIN-compensated frequency stability. |
| VRNG (5) | Sense voltage limit set | Defines max current sense threshold (60–320mV); sets cycle-by-cycle current limit without sense resistor. |
| PGOOD (6) | Power good open-drain output | Pulled low if VFB deviates >±10% for ≥125μs; used for system sequencing and fault signaling. |
| SYNC (7) | External clock input | Accepts 50kHz–500kHz TTL/CMOS clock; synchronizes TG edge to reduce EMI in noise-sensitive applications. |
| ITH (8) | Error amp compensation / current threshold | Voltage (0–2.6V) sets peak inductor current limit; also serves as loop compensation node. |
| VFB (9) | Feedback input | Connects to resistive divider from VOUT; regulates output via 0.8V internal reference. |
| SS (11) | Soft-start input | Capacitor to ground ramps ITH voltage, controlling startup inrush and preventing overshoot. |
| SHDN (13) | Shutdown control | Pull below 1.5V to disable both MOSFETs and reduce INTVCC current to 240μA. |
| UVIN (14) | Input UVLO sense | Resistor divider from VIN sets turn-on threshold (e.g., 0.8V reference + hysteresis = 10% window). |
| NDRV (15) | External NMOS gate driver | Controls external pass FET for INTVCC linear regulator; enables high-VIN (>15V) operation. |
| EXTVCC (16) | External driver supply | Switches internal LDO on when >6.7V; powers INTVCC/DRVCC directly, bypassing NDRV path. |
| INTVCC (17) | Main IC supply | Provides 6.35–14V rail for internal circuits; requires 0.1μF ceramic bypass to SGND. |
| DRVCC (18) | Bottom gate driver supply | Typically tied to INTVCC; powers BG driver; bypassed to BGRTN with 1μF X5R capacitor. |
| BG (19) | Bottom gate driver output | Drives source of bottom N-MOSFET; swing from BGRTN to DRVCC; supports negative BGRTN for shoot-through immunity. |
| BGRTN (20) | Bottom gate return | Source connection for BG driver; can be pulled negative (e.g., –2V) to counteract Miller-induced false turn-on. |
| SENSE– (21) | Current sense negative input | Kelvin-senses bottom MOSFET source or sense resistor; enables accurate RDS(ON)-based current sensing. |
| SW (26) | Switch node | Connects to inductor, BOOST diode, and SENSE+; swings from –0.3V (Schottky drop) to VOUT. |
| TG (27) | Top gate driver output | Floating driver for top N-MOSFET; powered by BOOST; returns to SW node for true high-side drive. |
| BOOST (28) | Top gate driver supply | Charged via external Schottky from DRVCC; bypassed to SW with 0.1μF X5R capacitor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No current sense resistor required | Uses bottom MOSFET RDS(ON) for current sensing - eliminates sense resistor cost, power loss, and board space. |
| Dual N-channel synchronous drive | Integrated TG/BG drivers eliminate need for external high-side gate driver ICs or bootstrap transformers. |
| Programmable soft-start | Capacitor on SS pin controls ITH ramp rate - prevents output overshoot and limits inrush during startup. |
| Synchronizable to external clock | SYNC pin accepts 50kHz–500kHz clock - enables deterministic EMI reduction and multi-phase interleaving. |
| Output overvoltage protection | OV comparator disables TG and forces BG on immediately - protects downstream loads during fault conditions. |
| Adjustable cycle-by-cycle current limit | VRNG pin sets nominal sense voltage (60–320mV) - allows precise, temperature-stable current limiting without trimming. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous step-up controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3780EG#PBF | Wider VIN range (4–90V), but max VOUT = 60V; requires external sense resistor; no VRNG-based current limit programming. | Preferred for lower-output-voltage, higher-input-voltage designs (e.g., 12V→48V); lacks 100V capability and resistorless sensing. | Select LTC3780EG#PBF only when input exceeds 40V or when fixed 60V output suffices - not a drop-in replacement for 100V requirements. |
| LM5122MMX/NOPB | Max VOUT = 65V; uses external current sense resistor; 2.5MHz max frequency; no PGOOD or SYNC; smaller 16-pin WSON package. | Better suited for space-constrained, medium-voltage (≤65V) applications with less stringent protection or synchronization needs. | Choose LM5122MMX/NOPB for compact 12V→48V supplies where layout area is critical and 100V headroom is unnecessary. |
Compared with LTC3813IG#PBF, LTC3780EG#PBF trades 100V capability and resistorless current sensing for higher input voltage tolerance, while LM5122MMX/NOPB sacrifices voltage range, protection features, and synchronization for size and cost - making LTC3813IG#PBF uniquely suited for high-voltage, high-reliability telecom and industrial boost applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage supported by the LTC3813IG#PBF?
The LTC3813IG#PBF supports a maximum output voltage of 100V, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. This capability enables its use in high-voltage applications such as 48V telecom systems and 24V fan supplies where output must exceed typical 60V controller limits. The 100V rating applies across the full –40°C to 125°C operating temperature range specified for the IG grade.
Does the LTC3813IG#PBF require an external current sense resistor?
No, the LTC3813IG#PBF does not require an external current sense resistor. It supports MOSFET RDS(ON)-based current sensing via the SENSE+ and SENSE– pins, with the VRNG pin setting the nominal sense voltage (60–320mV). This feature is explicitly documented in the Applications Information section and eliminates added cost, power loss, and PCB area associated with discrete sense resistors - a key differentiator versus alternatives like LM5122MMX/NOPB.
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC3813IG#PBF?
The LTC3813IG#PBF is rated for operation from –40°C to 125°C, as stated in the Order Information table and confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics notes. This industrial-grade temperature range is distinct from the E-grade (–40°C to 85°C) and makes the LTC3813IG#PBF suitable for under-hood automotive applications and high-ambient industrial environments where sustained reliability at elevated junction temperatures is required.
How does the LTC3813IG#PBF achieve fast transient response?
The LTC3813IG#PBF achieves fast transient response primarily through its 25MHz error amplifier bandwidth and constant off-time current-mode architecture. These features enable sub-100μs load transient recovery, as demonstrated in Figure 14 of the datasheet showing 200mV deviation and full recovery within 1ms under a 0A→4A step. The high-bandwidth EA rapidly adjusts the ITH voltage to correct VFB deviations, while COT control ensures immediate cycle-by-cycle current correction without loop instability.
Can the LTC3813IG#PBF be synchronized to an external clock signal?
Yes, the LTC3813IG#PBF can be synchronized to an external clock signal via the SYNC pin (Pin 7), which accepts TTL/CMOS-compatible inputs from 50kHz to 500kHz. When enabled, the phase-locked loop forces the rising edge of the TG signal to align with the external clock's rising edge - a feature explicitly detailed in the Pin Functions and Typical Performance Characteristics sections. This capability is critical for EMI reduction and multi-phase interleaving in dense power systems.
