Product details
Overview
LTC7840IFE#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a dual-phase, dual-output nonsynchronous boost controller driving N-channel MOSFETs in high-voltage DC-DC conversion. It operates from 5.5V to 60V input, delivers programmable 50kHz–425kHz switching frequency, features ±1% 1.2V internal reference, hiccup-mode overcurrent protection, and supports boost, SEPIC, and flyback topologies - used in telecom power supplies delivering up to 240V output.
For engineers reviewing the LTC7840IFE#TRPBF datasheet, LTC7840IFE#TRPBF pinout, LTC7840IFE#TRPBF application, or LTC7840IFE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include dual-phase current-mode control with dynamic slope recovery, independent RUN/PGOOD per channel, adjustable max duty cycle (75–96%), 10V gate driver LDO, and thermal performance in TSSOP-28 package at –40°C to 125°C.
Technical Context
The LTC7840IFE#TRPBF implements constant-frequency peak current mode control with smooth quadratic slope compensation and dynamic slope recovery to stabilize operation across wide duty cycles. Its two independent control loops operate 180° out-of-phase, each with dedicated ITH error amplifier output, VFB feedback input, RUN enable, PGOOD indicator, and ILIM current limit programming.
It integrates cascaded LDOs: a 10V DRVCC regulator (powered from VIN) for gate drivers and a 3.8V INTVCC regulator (powered from DRVCC) for analog/digital circuitry. Undervoltage lockout thresholds are 4.4V/3.9V for DRVCC and 3.3V/3.0V for INTVCC, ensuring robust startup and fault isolation under brownout conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 5.5V to 60V - accommodates automotive load dump, industrial surges, and telecom battery backup inputs without external pre-regulation. |
| Switching Frequency | 50kHz to 425kHz - programmable via FREQ pin voltage or synchronized externally; enables EMI optimization and magnetics size reduction. |
| Internal Reference | ±1% at 1.2V - ensures precise output voltage regulation across temperature and line/load variations in high-accuracy applications. |
| Max Duty Cycle | 75% to 96% - set by DMAX pin voltage (SGND/INTVCC/floating), enabling flexible boost ratio design from moderate to extreme voltage step-up. |
| Gate Driver Supply | 10V DRVCC LDO - powers N-channel MOSFET gates directly; includes UVLO (4.4V rising) to prevent weak turn-on and shoot-through during low-VIN events. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 70mV to 80mV - factory-trimmed maximum sense voltage; adjustable downward via ILIM pins to optimize current limit accuracy and noise immunity. |
| Min On-Time | 120ns to 200ns - selectable via BLANK pin (SGND/floating/INTVCC), critical for stable operation at high VIN/VOUT ratios and light loads. |
| Operating Temp Range | –40°C to 125°C - qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood environments; junction temp limit is 150°C with θJA = 30°C/W (TSSOP). |
Pinout & Package
The LTC7840IFE#TRPBF is packaged in a 28-lead thermally enhanced TSSOP (FE28) with exposed SGND pad for improved thermal dissipation. Pin pitch is 0.65mm; JEDEC MS-013AC compliant. Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB ground plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RUN1 / RUN2 | Channel-enable inputs | 1.22V threshold with 80mV hysteresis; internal 1µA + 4.5µA pull-up enables direct microcontroller GPIO control without external bias. |
| VFB1 / VFB2 | Feedback inputs | Connect to resistor dividers on respective outputs; ±1% 1.2V reference sets regulation point; ±5nA bias current minimizes divider error. |
| ITH1 / ITH2 | Error amplifier outputs | Drive external RC compensation networks; voltage controls peak inductor current; slope-compensated for stability in continuous conduction mode. |
| GATE1 / GATE2 | High-side gate drivers | 10V CMOS outputs referenced to PGND; 2Ω pull-up / 1Ω pull-down RDS(ON) drives >50nC MOSFETs at 425kHz with minimal dead-time loss. |
| SENSE1+/– / SENSE2+/– | Differential current sense inputs | Accept Kelvin-connected sense resistors; reject common-mode noise; support bidirectional sensing for SEPIC/flyback configurations. |
| ILIM1 / ILIM2 | Current limit programming | 10µA sink sets max sense threshold; floating = 75mV; resistor-to-SGND scales threshold linearly down to <0.5V for precision OCP tuning. |
| DMAX / BLANK / FREQ / SS1 / SS2 | Configuration & timing | Resistor- or voltage-programmable: DMAX sets duty cap, BLANK sets min on-time, FREQ sets frequency, SS pins control soft-start ramp and hiccup timeout. |
| PGOOD1 / PGOOD2 | Open-drain status indicators | Pull low after 135µs mask timer when output enters ±10% regulation window; compatible with FPGA/CPLD power sequencing logic. |
| DRVCC / INTVCC / SGND / PGND | Power domains | DRVCC (10V) powers gates; INTVCC (3.8V) powers control logic; SGND (signal) and PGND (power) must be separated and joined only at single-point star ground. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-phase 180° interleaving | Reduces input/output ripple current by ~70% vs single-phase, enabling smaller input capacitors and lower EMI filter cost in high-power boost designs. |
| Hiccup-mode overcurrent protection | Auto-retries after fault clearance; prevents thermal runaway during sustained overload or short-circuit without requiring manual reset or external latch. |
| Flexible topology support | Configurable as dual-output boost, dual-phase single-output boost, SEPIC, or flyback - reuses same IC across multiple power architectures with minimal BOM change. |
| Independent channel control | Separate RUN, PGOOD, VFB, ITH, and ILIM per channel allows asymmetric output voltages (e.g., 48V + 240V), staggered start-up, and independent fault management. |
| Programmable minimum on-time | 120ns/160ns/200ns selection via BLANK pin enables stable operation at high VIN/VOUT ratios (e.g., 12V→240V) where duty cycle approaches 96%. |
| Integrated cascaded LDOs | Eliminates need for external bias rails: 10V DRVCC powers gate drivers; 3.8V INTVCC powers control logic - simplifies layout and improves startup reliability. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC7840IFE#TRPBF?
The LTC7840IFE#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 65V on the VIN pin, with recommended continuous operation from 5.5V to 60V. This wide range accommodates automotive load-dump transients and industrial power surges without external clamping, making the LTC7840IFE#TRPBF suitable for demanding high-voltage applications.
Does the LTC7840IFE#TRPBF support synchronous rectification?
No, the LTC7840IFE#TRPBF is a nonsynchronous boost controller and does not support synchronous rectification. It drives external N-channel MOSFETs in the high-side switch position with external catch diodes. For synchronous operation, consider the pin-compatible LTC7841IFE#TRPBF, which integrates high-side gate drivers and supports bootstrap-based synchronous FET control - though with reduced max VIN rating.
How is the switching frequency programmed on the LTC7840IFE#TRPBF?
The switching frequency of the LTC7840IFE#TRPBF is programmed via the FREQ pin, which sources a precise 10µA current. A resistor from FREQ to SGND sets the oscillator frequency from 50kHz to 425kHz; alternatively, a DC voltage applied to FREQ directly adjusts frequency. The LTC7840IFE#TRPBF also supports external synchronization from 50kHz to 450kHz via the SYNC pin with integrated PLL.
What is the purpose of the DMAX and BLANK pins on the LTC7840IFE#TRPBF?
The DMAX pin sets the maximum duty cycle (75%, 84%, or 96%) by connecting to INTVCC, floating, or SGND respectively; this prevents instability at extreme boost ratios. The BLANK pin configures minimum on-time (120ns, 160ns, or 200ns) to ensure reliable MOSFET turn-on under high-VIN/high-VOUT conditions. Both pins provide critical timing guardbands for the LTC7840IFE#TRPBF in high-ratio applications.
Can the LTC7840IFE#TRPBF be used in SEPIC or flyback topologies?
Yes, the LTC7840IFE#TRPBF is explicitly designed for flexible topology implementation including SEPIC and flyback, in addition to standard boost. Its dual-channel architecture, independent current sensing, and programmable timing parameters allow reconfiguration via external component changes - no firmware or hardware revision required. This makes the LTC7840IFE#TRPBF ideal for multi-platform power designs where topology reuse reduces qualification effort.
