Product details
Overview
LTC3897IUHF#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 55µA quiescent current in Burst Mode. Its two out-of-phase N-MOSFET stages reduce input/output capacitance and EMI, making it suitable for high-reliability 24V/10A industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3897IUHF#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3897IUHF#TRPBF pinout, LTC3897IUHF#TRPBF application, or LTC3897IUHF#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-phase timing control, adjustable gate drive (5–10V OPTI-DRIVE), ±40V reverse input protection, programmable frequency (105–465kHz), and integrated fault management via SGEN/DGEN pins.
Technical Context
The LTC3897IUHF#TRPBF implements a polyphase synchronous boost architecture with independent current-mode control per phase, using SENSE1+/– and SENSE2+/– inputs for peak-current limiting. Its error amplifier (1.200V VFB, 2mmho gm) drives ITH to modulate duty cycle while supporting pulse-skipping, forced continuous, and Burst Mode operation.
Surge protection is handled by the SGEN-controlled external N-MOSFET gate driver (SG pin), with overvoltage clamping (1.235V SPFB reference), overcurrent detection (45–55mV ΔVIS threshold), and programmable retry via TMR. The DGEN-controlled ideal diode function regulates forward voltage drop (20–40mV ΔVSD) and blocks reverse current during input faults.

Pinout & Package
The LTC3897IUHF#TRPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 38-pin (5mm × 7mm) leadless QFN package (UHF) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 39 = GND). This package provides θJA = 34°C/W and supports high-power density layouts with minimal PCB area.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Main input supply rail | Accepts 4.5–65V input; survives 75V surges - connects directly to battery or unregulated DC bus. |
| SG | Surge stopper gate driver output | Drives external N-MOSFET source to clamp input overvoltage and limit inrush - requires no external bootstrap diode. |
| DG | Ideal diode gate driver output | Controls reverse-blocking N-MOSFET at input; regulates forward drop to 20–40mV - replaces Schottky with lower loss and no leakage. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage transient the LTC3897IUHF#TRPBF can survive?
The LTC3897IUHF#TRPBF is rated to withstand input transients up to 75V, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This capability is enabled by its integrated surge stopper circuit, which actively clamps the input rail using an external N-MOSFET controlled by the SG pin. During such events, the device maintains regulation and protects downstream circuitry without latch-up or damage, provided the external MOSFET and layout meet recommended thermal and current handling guidelines.
How does the LTC3897IUHF#TRPBF implement reverse input protection?
The LTC3897IUHF#TRPBF implements reverse input protection via its integrated ideal diode controller, driven by the DG pin. When VIN goes negative (down to –40V), the controller turns off the external N-MOSFET connected between VIN and the system input, blocking reverse current flow. It regulates the forward voltage drop across the MOSFET to 20–40mV (ΔVSD), minimizing conduction loss compared to Schottky diodes. This function is independently enabled/disabled using the DGEN pin.
Can the LTC3897IUHF#TRPBF operate in single-phase mode?
Yes, the LTC3897IUHF#TRPBF can be configured for single-phase operation by connecting SENSE2+/– and TG2/BG2/SW2/BOOST2 to appropriate ground or no-connect states per the datasheet's "Single-Phase Operation" section. However, doing so forfeits the benefits of interleaved operation - including reduced input/output ripple, smaller passive components, and lower EMI - and disables phase synchronization features like CLKOUT daisy-chaining.
What is the purpose of the TMR pin on the LTC3897IUHF#TRPBF?
The TMR pin on the LTC3897IUHF#TRPBF serves as a multifunction timer node for fault management. It pulls up/down current during overvoltage (SPFB = 1.5V), overcurrent (ΔVIS ≥ 50mV), or warning conditions, enabling programmable retry intervals, fault latching, or external fault signaling. Its voltage thresholds (0.13V rising, 1.35V falling) and current sink/source characteristics allow designers to set custom delay times before automatic recovery or permanent shutdown.
Does the LTC3897IUHF#TRPBF require external bootstrap diodes for high-side gate driving?
No, the LTC3897IUHF#TRPBF does not require external bootstrap diodes. Its internal charge pump for BOOST1 and BOOST2 generates the floating gate drive voltage needed for the top N-MOSFETs (TG1/TG2), eliminating the need for discrete bootstrap components. This simplifies layout, improves reliability, and supports 100% duty cycle operation - a key advantage over traditional bootstrap-based controllers.
