The LTC3788EGN-1#PBF is a high-performance, dual 2-phase synchronous step-up DC/DC controller designed by Linear Technology. This robust component is engineered to generate output voltages up to 60V from an input voltage range of 4.5V to 38V, making it an ideal choice for a wide array of applications, including automotive, industrial, and telecommunications systems.

Boasting a proprietary Constant Frequency Current Mode architecture, the LTC3788EGN-1#PBF ensures stable and reliable operation even under varying load conditions. The controller operates with a selectable fixed frequency between 50kHz to 900kHz and can also be synchronized to an external clock within the same range, providing design flexibility and noise management for sensitive applications.

One of the key features of this controller is its phase-lockable frequency of up to 850kHz, which allows for reduction in noise and improved efficiency. Moreover, the LTC3788EGN-1#PBF includes a powerful 1.1Ω on-chip gate drivers that enable the use of high power MOSFETs to deliver substantial currents with minimal loss.

Protection features are paramount in power management solutions, and the LTC3788EGN-1#PBF excels in this area. It includes overvoltage protection, overcurrent protection, and a foldback current limit, ensuring the safety and longevity of the end application. The product also offers an adjustable soft-start feature to prevent inrush current at startup, further enhancing its protective capabilities.

The LTC3788EGN-1#PBF is available in a thermally enhanced 28-lead SSOP package, which provides a compact solution without compromising thermal performance. With its advanced features and robust design, the LTC3788EGN-1#PBF from Linear Technology stands out as a versatile and efficient solution for high voltage boost applications.
