Product details
Overview
LTC3897IUHG-2#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, supports 2-phase interleaved operation, and provides reverse input protection down to –40V - used in high-reliability 24V/10A telecom power systems requiring input surge and reverse polarity hardening.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3897IUHG-2#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3897IUHG-2#TRPBF pinout, LTC3897IUHG-2#TRPBF application, or LTC3897IUHG-2#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2-phase synchronous boost architecture, integrated N-channel MOSFET gate drivers for both boost and ideal diode stages, programmable DRVCC (5V–10V), adjustable current limit via ILIM pin, and QFN-38 package with high-voltage pin spacing for 75V transients.
Technical Context
The LTC3897IUHG-2#TRPBF implements a polyphase synchronous boost topology with out-of-phase switching of two N-channel power stages to reduce input/output ripple and capacitor requirements. Its control loop uses a transconductance error amplifier (gm = 2 mmho) with 1.200V ±12mV regulated feedback voltage and supports pulse-skipping, forced continuous, or Burst Mode® operation based on PLLIN/MODE pin configuration.
It integrates three functional blocks: (1) a dual-phase boost controller with independent SENSE1+/– and SENSE2+/– inputs and programmable peak current thresholds (41–155mV); (2) a surge stopper driving an external N-MOSFET via SG pin with overvoltage (SPFB = 1.235V) and overcurrent (ΔVIS = 50mV typ.) protection; and (3) an ideal diode controller driving another N-MOSFET via DG pin with 30mV forward regulation (ΔVSD) and reverse current blocking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 65V continuous; withstands 75V transients - enables direct connection to automotive battery or industrial 48V rails without pre-regulation. |

| DRVCC Output | 5.0V to 10.0V programmable (via DRVSET resistor) - drives logic-level or standard-threshold N-MOSFETs without level shifters. |
| Reverse Input Protection | –40V tolerance with <10µA reverse leakage - prevents damage from accidental battery reversal in field-deployed equipment. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 38-lead (5mm × 8mm) plastic QFN (UHG), exposed pad (Pin 45) soldered to GND for thermal and electrical integrity; θJA = 36°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input supply rail | Accepts 4.5V–65V; survives 75V transients - connects directly to unregulated source with no external TVS required. |
| TG1, TG2 | Top gate drivers | Drive gates of synchronous N-MOSFETs; each supports >100mA peak sink/source for fast turn-on/turn-off. |
| BG1, BG2 | Bottom gate drivers | Drive main N-MOSFETs; 96% max duty cycle enables high step-up ratios (e.g., 12V→48V). |
| SG | Surge stopper gate driver | Controls external N-MOSFET for input clamping; delivers 130mA pull-down during overcurrent fault. |
| DG | Ideal diode gate driver | Regulates forward drop to 30mV; shuts off in <2µs when reverse current detected. |
| SENSE1+, SENSE1− SENSE2+, SENSE2− |
Per-phase current sense inputs | Differential inputs with ±2µA offset; support Kelvin sensing for accurate phase-current balancing. |
| ILIM | Current limit select | Three-state pin (GND/float/INTVCC) selects 41/95/140mV threshold - eliminates need for trimming resistors. |
| DRVSET | DRVCC voltage programming | Resistor divider sets gate drive voltage (5–10V) - matches RDS(on) of logic-level or standard FETs. |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage transient the LTC3897IUHG-2#TRPBF can survive?
The LTC3897IUHG-2#TRPBF is rated to survive input transients up to 75V on the VIN pin, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This capability is enabled by internal high-voltage protection structures and the UHG QFN package's reinforced pin spacing - making it suitable for automotive load-dump and industrial surge environments without external clamping components.
How does the LTC3897IUHG-2#TRPBF implement reverse input protection?
The LTC3897IUHG-2#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 rapidly turns off the MOSFET, limiting reverse current to <10µA at –30V - effectively replacing a Schottky diode while reducing forward voltage drop from ~0.4V to 30mV in normal operation.
Can the LTC3897IUHG-2#TRPBF operate in single-phase mode?
Yes, the LTC3897IUHG-2#TRPBF can be configured for single-phase operation by connecting SENSE2+ and SENSE2– to GND and disabling TG2/BG2/BOOST2/SW2 pins per the datasheet's "Single-Phase Operation" guidelines. However, doing so forfeits the ripple reduction, efficiency gains, and component count savings inherent to its native 2-phase interleaved architecture.
What is the purpose of the ILIM pin on the LTC3897IUHG-2#TRPBF?
The ILIM pin on the LTC3897IUHG-2#TRPBF selects the peak current sense threshold for both boost phases: tying ILIM to GND sets 41mV, floating sets 95mV, and connecting to INTVCC sets 140mV. This hardware-selectable threshold eliminates the need for external gain-setting resistors and enables rapid current-limit adjustment across different MOSFET RDS(on) values or output current requirements.
Does the LTC3897IUHG-2#TRPBF require external bootstrap diodes?
No, the LTC3897IUHG-2#TRPBF does not require external bootstrap diodes. Its internal charge pump for BOOST1 and BOOST2 supplies gate drive voltage above SW1/SW2, and the DRVCC LDO (programmed via DRVSET) powers the gate drivers - eliminating discrete bootstrap components and simplifying layout for high-side N-MOSFETs.
