Product details
Overview
LTC3897EUHG-2#PBF from Analog Devices is a dual-phase synchronous boost DC/DC controller with integrated surge stopper and ideal diode controller. It operates from 4.5V to 65V input (with 75V transient tolerance), delivers up to 60V output, supports 2-phase interleaved operation to reduce ripple and capacitor size, and features 55µA quiescent current in Burst Mode - enabling robust power conversion in automotive infotainment systems requiring high-voltage input protection and reverse polarity immunity.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3897EUHG-2#PBF datasheet, LTC3897EUHG-2#PBF pinout, LTC3897EUHG-2#PBF application, or LTC3897EUHG-2#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-phase synchronous boost architecture, integrated N-channel MOSFET gate drivers for both boost stages and ideal diode control, programmable DRVCC (5V–10V), adjustable dead time, and −40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range in a 38-lead QFN package.
Technical Context
The LTC3897EUHG-2#PBF implements a two-phase interleaved synchronous boost topology with out-of-phase gate drive signals to minimize input/output ripple and capacitor stress. Its boost controller uses current-mode control with programmable peak current sense thresholds (48mV/95mV/140mV) via ILIM pin configuration and supports forced continuous, pulse-skipping, or Burst Mode® operation selected via PLLIN/MODE pin.
Integrated protection functions include a surge stopper (SGEN-controlled external N-MOSFET) for input overvoltage clamping up to 75V, inrush/overcurrent limiting, and output disconnect; plus an ideal diode controller (DGEN-driven) providing reverse input protection down to −40V and forward voltage regulation at 20–40mV across the external MOSFET.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the LTC3897EUHG-2#PBF can withstand during transients?
The LTC3897EUHG-2#PBF supports continuous input operation from 4.5V to 65V and is rated to withstand input transients up to 75V without damage or malfunction. This capability is enabled by internal high-voltage pin spacing and robust absolute maximum ratings on VIN, SGEN, and CS pins - making it suitable for automotive load-dump and ISO 7637-2 compliant designs without external clamping.
Does the LTC3897EUHG-2#PBF require external bootstrap diodes for gate drive?
No, the LTC3897EUHG-2#PBF does not require external bootstrap diodes. Its integrated charge pump and internal LDO (DRVCC) generate the necessary floating gate drive voltage for the top N-MOSFETs in each phase. The DRVCC regulator is programmable from 5V to 10V via the DRVSET pin, eliminating external diodes and associated PCB area and reliability concerns.
How does the LTC3897EUHG-2#PBF provide reverse input voltage protection?
The LTC3897EUHG-2#PBF provides reverse input voltage protection through its integrated ideal diode controller, activated via the DGEN pin. When enabled, it drives an external N-channel MOSFET to replace a Schottky diode, regulating the forward voltage drop to 20–40mV and actively blocking reverse current flow - delivering protection down to −40V input while improving efficiency and thermal performance over passive solutions.
Can the LTC3897EUHG-2#PBF synchronize multiple phases across several ICs?
Yes, the LTC3897EUHG-2#PBF supports multi-phase synchronization via its CLKOUT pin and PLLIN/MODE input. CLKOUT provides a digital clock output whose phase relative to BG1 is controlled by PHASMD; PLLIN/MODE accepts an external clock to force synchronization of the rising edge of BG1 to that clock - enabling precise interleaving of up to four LTC3897EUHG-2#PBF controllers in high-current applications.
What is the quiescent current of the LTC3897EUHG-2#PBF in low-power mode?
The LTC3897EUHG-2#PBF draws just 55µA quiescent current in Burst Mode® operation - measured with RUN = 12V, DGEN = SGEN = 0V, VFB = 1.25V, and no load. This ultra-low standby current enables energy-efficient always-on functionality in automotive body control modules, telematics units, and battery-backed industrial sensors without compromising startup responsiveness.
