Product details
Overview
LTC3897HFE#TRPBF 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, and features 2-phase interleaved operation, 55µA quiescent current in Burst Mode, and adjustable gate drive (5–10V) for logic- or standard-threshold MOSFETs - used in high-reliability industrial power supplies requiring input surge and reverse polarity protection.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3897HFE#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3897HFE#TRPBF pinout, LTC3897HFE#TRPBF application, or LTC3897HFE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its –40V reverse input protection, 2-phase current sharing capability, programmable oscillator frequency (105–465 kHz), OPTI-DRIVE gate voltage control, and thermal-rated 150°C junction operation in the 38-lead TSSOP package.
Technical Context
The LTC3897HFE#TRPBF implements a two-phase interleaved synchronous boost architecture with out-of-phase gate timing to reduce input/output ripple and capacitor stress. Its surge stopper controls an external N-channel MOSFET via SG pin with adjustable overvoltage clamp (via SPFB), while the ideal diode controller drives a second N-channel MOSFET via DG pin to enforce forward conduction and block reverse current.
It integrates independent current-sense comparators per phase (SENSE1±/SENSE2±), programmable dead time (DTC), phase synchronization (PLLIN/MODE, CLKOUT), and dual LDOs - one for INTVCC (3.5V) and another for DRVCC (5–10V, selectable via DRVSET) - enabling robust gate drive under wide VIN and load transients.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
The LTC3897HFE#TRPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 38-lead plastic TSSOP package (FE) with exposed pad (Pin 39 = GND), θJA = 28°C/W. The package supports high-power density layouts with soldered GND pad for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Main input supply rail | Accepts 4.5–65V input; handles 75V transients - connects directly to unregulated system bus. |
| SG | Surge stopper gate driver output | Drives external N-MOSFET source to clamp input overvoltage and limit inrush - replaces discrete TVS + MOSFET circuits. |
| DG | Ideal diode gate driver output | Controls external N-MOSFET to replace Schottky diode - enables <30mV forward drop and zero reverse leakage. |
| TG1/TG2 | Top gate drivers (Phase 1 & 2) | Drive synchronous rectifier MOSFET gates - require BOOSTx bypass caps for floating high-side operation. |
| BG1/BG2 | Bottom gate drivers (Phase 1 & 2) | Drive main boost switch MOSFET gates - support >96% duty cycle for high step-up ratios. |
| SENSE1+/SENSE2+ | Current sense + inputs | Connect to high-side of current sense resistors - enable per-phase peak current limiting with 41–155mV threshold range. |
| VFB | Feedback reference input | Monitors output via resistive divider; regulates to 1.200V ±12mV - sets precise output voltage accuracy. |
| DRVSET | DRVCC regulation control | Selects 5V/6V/7V/9V/10V gate drive - matches MOSFET VGS(th) and RDS(on) for optimal efficiency. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous boost controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3897HUHF#TRPBF | Same functionality and specs, but in 38-lead QFN (UHF) package with θJA = 34°C/W - higher thermal resistance than TSSOP FE variant. | Preferred for space-constrained PCBs where thermal vias can be added to exposed pad; less suitable for high-ambient, low-airflow environments. | Select when board layout favors QFN footprint and thermal management includes ≥6 thermal vias under exposed pad. |
| LTC3897IFE#TRPBF | Identical pinout and function, but rated for –40°C to 125°C junction - lacks 150°C qualification of H-grade part. | Suitable for commercial/industrial ambient conditions (<85°C), but not for under-hood or sealed avionics enclosures. | Choose only if system max junction temperature remains ≤125°C with margin; verify thermal simulation before substitution. |
Compared with LTC3897IFE#TRPBF and LTC3897HUHF#TRPBF, the LTC3897HFE#TRPBF uniquely combines 150°C operation with the lower thermal resistance (28°C/W) of the TSSOP package - making it the sole option for high-reliability, high-temperature applications requiring both extended junction rating and superior heat dissipation.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the LTC3897HFE#TRPBF can withstand without damage?
The LTC3897HFE#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 76V on the VIN pin and can safely operate through transients up to 75V. Its surge stopper function actively clamps input overvoltage using the SG pin and external MOSFET, protecting downstream circuitry. This makes the LTC3897HFE#TRPBF suitable for 24V/48V systems exposed to load dump or inductive kickback events.
How does the LTC3897HFE#TRPBF implement reverse input protection?
The LTC3897HFE#TRPBF uses its integrated ideal diode controller (DG pin) to drive an external N-channel MOSFET in series with the input, blocking reverse current flow down to –40V. Unlike passive diodes, this active solution achieves <30mV forward voltage drop and zero reverse leakage - eliminating power loss and thermal issues associated with Schottky diodes. The LTC3897HFE#TRPBF monitors VCS–VIS+ to detect reverse polarity and immediately turns off the DG-driven MOSFET.
Can the LTC3897HFE#TRPBF operate in single-phase mode?
Yes, the LTC3897HFE#TRPBF supports single-phase operation by configuring PHASMD to tie one channel inactive - though its primary architecture is optimized for interleaved two-phase operation. Disabling Phase 2 reduces ripple cancellation benefits and increases input/output capacitor stress. The LTC3897HFE#TRPBF retains full surge stopper and ideal diode functionality regardless of phase configuration, and all control loops remain active for stability.
What is the purpose of the DRVSET pin on the LTC3897HFE#TRPBF?
The DRVSET pin on the LTC3897HFE#TRPBF programs the regulated output voltage of the internal DRVCC LDO, which powers the gate drivers. Tying DRVSET to GND sets DRVCC to 6.0V; to INTVCC sets it to 10.0V; and using a 50k–100kΩ resistor to GND enables intermediate voltages (e.g., 7.0V or 9.0V). This OPTI-DRIVE feature ensures optimal gate drive for diverse N-MOSFETs - minimizing switching loss while avoiding overvoltage stress on logic-level devices.
Does the LTC3897HFE#TRPBF require external bootstrap diodes for high-side gate drive?
No, the LTC3897HFE#TRPBF does not require external bootstrap diodes. Its integrated charge pump (BOOST1/BOOST2 pins) generates the floating gate drive voltage for the top N-MOSFETs (TG1/TG2) using internal circuitry and external BOOST-to-SW bypass capacitors. This eliminates discrete bootstrap components, reduces BOM count, and improves reliability - especially in high-duty-cycle or high-frequency applications where bootstrap capacitor recharge may be insufficient.
