Product details
Overview
LTC3897HUHF#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a dual-phase synchronous boost DC/DC controller with integrated surge stopper and ideal diode controller, designed for high-reliability 4.5V–65V input systems. It delivers up to 60V output, supports 2-phase interleaved operation (reducing input/output ripple and capacitor size), provides ±40V reverse input protection, and maintains 55µA quiescent current in Burst Mode-enabling robust power conversion in automotive front-end and industrial backup supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3897HUHF#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3897HUHF#TRPBF pinout, LTC3897HUHF#TRPBF application, or LTC3897HUHF#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-phase gate drive timing control (DTC-adjustable dead time), programmable DRVCC (5V–10V OPTI-DRIVE), 350kHz–535kHz fixed-frequency or resistor-programmable oscillator, and independent surge/ideal diode protection logic with adjustable clamp voltage via SPFB.
Technical Context
The LTC3897HUHF#TRPBF implements two out-of-phase synchronous boost channels with independent current-sense amplifiers (SENSE1±/SENSE2±), each supporting peak-current-mode control with selectable current limit thresholds (48mV/95mV/140mV via ILIM). Its surge stopper uses SG pin to drive an external N-channel MOSFET for input transient clamping up to 75V, while the ideal diode controller drives a second N-MOSFET via DG pin for reverse-voltage blocking and hold-up.
Phase synchronization is managed through PLLIN/MODE and CLKOUT pins, enabling multi-phase daisy-chaining; PHASMD configures phase offset between BG1/BG2 and CLKOUT. The error amplifier (ITH node) interfaces with VFB for output regulation, and SS enables soft-start via external capacitor-ensuring controlled startup under high-capacitance loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.2V to 75V continuous; withstands transients up to 75V-supports wide-range industrial and automotive battery inputs. |
| Output Voltage Range | Up to 60V regulated-enables high-voltage bias rails for sensors, RF modules, or LED drivers. |
| Quiescent Current | 55µA in Burst Mode-critical for always-on systems requiring ultra-low standby power. |
| Switching Frequency | 350kHz (FREQ = INTVCC) to 535kHz (FREQ = GND); resistor-programmable 105–465kHz-balances efficiency, EMI, and magnetics size. |
| Gate Drive Voltage | Programmable DRVCC: 5.0V–10.0V via DRVSET-supports both logic-level and standard-threshold N-MOSFETs without external level shifters. |
| Reverse Input Protection | –40V tolerance with ideal diode control-prevents damage from accidental battery reversal or load-dump-induced negative spikes. |
| Surge Clamp Accuracy | VSPFB = 1.235V ±30mV-sets precise overvoltage threshold for external MOSFET gate control during transients. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 38-lead (5mm × 7mm) plastic QFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 39 = GND). Thermally enhanced for 150°C junction operation (H-grade).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Main input supply rail | Accepts 4.2V–75V; bypassed to GND for noise suppression and transient energy absorption. |
| SG | Surge stopper gate driver output | Sinks/sourcing current to control external N-MOSFET for input overvoltage clamping and in-rush limiting. |
| DG | Ideal diode gate driver output | Drives N-MOSFET source-to-input for reverse polarity blocking and forward voltage regulation (ΔVSD = 30mV typ). |
| TG1/TG2 | Top gate drivers | Drive synchronous rectifier N-MOSFET gates; require BOOSTx–SWx bootstrap capacitors for high-side operation. |
| BG1/BG2 | Bottom gate drivers | Drive main boost switch N-MOSFET gates; operate with 96% max duty cycle and <100ns min on-time. |
| SENSE1+/SENSE2+ | Current sense positive inputs | Connect to high-side of sense resistors; supply bias current to internal comparators (250–350µA per pin). |
| CS | Current sense reference | Common return for surge/ideal diode current sensing; referenced by IS+, IS−, SPFB, and SG/DG circuitry. |
| SPFB | Surge protection feedback | Set point for VSPFB = 1.235V; determines clamp voltage threshold (VCLAMP = VCS + 1.235V × R1/R2). |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous boost controller with integrated protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3897IUHF#TRPBF | Same functionality and pinout; rated for –40°C to 125°C (I-grade), not 150°C. | Not suitable for under-hood automotive or high-ambient industrial enclosures exceeding 125°C junction. | Select only if ambient temperature and power dissipation ensure TJ ≤ 125°C; otherwise LTC3897HUHF#TRPBF is required. |
| LTC3897HUFD#TRPBF | Identical electrical specs and H-grade rating; packaged in 38-lead TSSOP (FE) instead of QFN (UHF). | TSSOP offers easier manual assembly and rework but has higher θJA (28°C/W vs 34°C/W), limiting high-power density layouts. | Choose UHF for thermally constrained PCBs; choose FE for prototyping, low-volume production, or legacy TSSOP-compatible footprints. |
Compared with LTC3897IUHF#TRPBF, the LTC3897HUHF#TRPBF guarantees full performance up to 150°C junction-critical for sustained operation in engine bay or sealed industrial enclosures. Versus LTC3897HUFD#TRPBF, the UHF QFN delivers superior thermal resistance for high-current, space-constrained designs despite identical silicon.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the LTC3897HUHF#TRPBF can withstand during transients?
The LTC3897HUHF#TRPBF supports input transients up to 75V while maintaining functional operation, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings. This capability enables reliable use in automotive load-dump scenarios and industrial power-line surges without external clamping components-provided the external MOSFETs and passive components are similarly rated.
How does the LTC3897HUHF#TRPBF implement reverse input protection?
The LTC3897HUHF#TRPBF implements reverse input protection via its integrated ideal diode controller, which drives an external N-channel MOSFET using the DG pin. When VIN goes negative, the controller regulates the MOSFET's source-drain voltage to ≤40mV (typ), blocking reverse current flow while maintaining low conduction loss-eliminating the need for a series Schottky diode and its associated 400mV forward drop.
Can the LTC3897HUHF#TRPBF operate with only one phase enabled?
Yes, the LTC3897HUHF#TRPBF supports single-phase operation by configuring PHASMD and disabling one channel's gate drive signals. However, its full benefit-interleaved ripple cancellation, reduced EMI, and optimized thermal distribution-is realized only in true 2-phase mode. Single-phase use retains all protection features but forfeits the input/output capacitor reduction advantage.
What is the purpose of the TMR pin on the LTC3897HUHF#TRPBF?
The TMR pin on the LTC3897HUHF#TRPBF serves as a multifunction timer interface: it pulls up/down during overvoltage or overcurrent faults to set retry delay, provides warning pulses before shutdown, and enables configurable fault response timing. Its voltage threshold (0.13V–1.38V) and current sink/source behavior allow precise customization of fault recovery behavior without external timers.
Does the LTC3897HUHF#TRPBF require external bootstrap diodes for high-side gate drive?
No, the LTC3897HUHF#TRPBF does not require external bootstrap diodes. Its internal charge pumps (BOOST1/SW1 and BOOST2/SW2) generate floating gate drive voltages for the top N-MOSFETs, eliminating external diodes and associated layout complexity-while maintaining robust start-up and high-duty-cycle operation across the full input range.
