Product details
Overview
LTC3802EGN#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual-phase, synchronous step-down DC/DC controller optimized for high-efficiency conversion from 3V to 30V input. It features leading-edge modulation, 550kHz fixed-frequency operation (adjustable 330–750kHz), 180° out-of-phase channel control, programmable up/down tracking, and ±1% 0.6V reference-enabling tightly regulated 3.3V/15A and 2.5V/15A outputs in notebook power systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3802EGN#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3802EGN#TRPBF pinout, LTC3802EGN#TRPBF application, or LTC3802EGN#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-channel phase synchronization, line feedforward compensation for fast line transient response, external N-MOSFET architecture with integrated gate drivers, programmable current limit without sense resistor, and Burst Mode® operation for light-load efficiency.
Technical Context
The LTC3802EGN#TRPBF implements voltage-mode control with leading-edge PWM architecture-eliminating slope compensation and enabling stable low-duty-cycle operation down to near 0%. Its dual controllers share a master clock and operate 180° out of phase to halve input capacitor RMS current and reduce ESR-related losses.
Line feedforward compensation via VINFF pin directly modulates the PWM comparator input, bypassing the feedback loop to achieve <100µs line transient response. The FBT pin enables real-time servo-based output tracking during power-up/down, while PHASEMD selects PLL phase relationships (0°, 90°, or 180° offset relative to PLLIN).

Pinout & Package
Package: 28-lead plastic SSOP (GN), exposed pad not present - suitable for standard reflow assembly and thermal management via PCB copper.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PVCC (Pin 1) | Driver power supply | Supplies gate drive for both BG1/BG2 drivers; must be ≥5V and bypassed with ≥10µF to PGND for robust MOSFET turn-on. |
| BG1 (Pin 2) | Channel 1 bottom gate driver | Drives source of low-side N-MOSFET QB1; capable of driving up to 10,000pF gate capacitance. |
| BOOST1 (Pin 3) | Channel 1 top gate bootstrap supply | Bootstrapped from SW1 via 0.1µF capacitor; enables full enhancement of high-side N-MOSFET QA1. |
| TG1 (Pin 4) | Channel 1 top gate driver | Swings PVCC above SW1 node; drives gate of QA1 with rail-to-rail swing for minimal conduction loss. |
| SW1 (Pin 5) | Channel 1 switching node | Connects to drain of QA1 and source of QB1; monitored for current limit and Burst Mode detection via internal comparators. |
| PGND (Pin 6) | Power ground return | High-current return path for BG drivers and external MOSFET sources; must be low-inductance connection near VIN/PVCC caps. |
| IMAX1 (Pin 7) | Channel 1 current limit set | Internal 10µA current source pulls up; resistor to SGND sets ILIM threshold without sense resistor or power loss. |
| FBT (Pin 8) | Feedback tracking input | Servos CMPIN2 during startup/shutdown to enforce precise voltage ramp rates between VOUT1 and VOUT2. |
| CMPIN1 (Pin 9) | Channel 1 real-time output monitor | Directly connected to VOUT1 divider; feeds PGOOD, overvoltage, and Burst reset comparators - requires noise-free routing. |
| COMP1 (Pin 10) | Channel 1 error amplifier output | Drives line feedforward circuit and PWM comparator; RC network to FB1 provides Type 3 compensation for stability. |
| FB1 (Pin 11) | Channel 1 feedback input | Virtual-ground node for resistive divider; sets output voltage as VOUT = 0.6V × (1 + R1/R2). |
| SGND (Pin 12) | Signal ground reference | Low-noise return for all analog circuitry (FB, COMP, RUN/SS); must be separated from PGND except at single-point tie near VIN cap. |
| FCB (Pin 13) | Force continuous mode | Short to GND disables Burst Mode - forces CCM operation regardless of load for predictable EMI and ripple behavior. |
| RUN/SS (Pin 14) | Soft-start and shutdown control | 7µA internal pull-up; external capacitor sets ramp rate and soft-start delay (~300ms/µF); <0.8V shuts down device. |
| PGOOD (Pin 15) | Open-drain power-good flag | Asserts low when either output deviates >±10% from setpoint or during shutdown - enables system sequencing and fault reporting. |
| VINFF (Pin 16) | Line feedforward compensation | Directly modulates PWM comparator to cancel line-induced duty cycle changes - improves line regulation to <0.1%/V. |
| PHASEMD (Pin 17) | Phase selector input | Floating = 0° TG1–PLLIN alignment; high = 90° lead; low = power-down tracking - configures PLL synchronization topology. |
| FB2 (Pin 18) | Channel 2 feedback input | Identical function to FB1; sets VOUT2 independently using separate resistive divider. |
| COMP2 (Pin 19) | Channel 2 error amplifier output | Same compensation structure as COMP1; allows independent loop tuning for asymmetric output configurations. |
| VCC (Pin 20) | Analog core supply | 5V ±10% supply for internal logic, references, and amplifiers; bypassed with ≥10µF to SGND for noise immunity. |
| CMPIN2 (Pin 21) | Channel 2 real-time output monitor | Feeds tracking servo (with FBT), PGOOD, and protection comparators - critical for coordinated dual-rail sequencing. |
| IMAX2 (Pin 22) | Channel 2 current limit set | Functionally identical to IMAX1; enables independent current limiting for asymmetric load requirements. |
| PLLLPF (Pin 23) | PLL low-pass filter | Accepts DC voltage (0–2.4V) to set oscillator frequency from 330–750kHz - enables precise EMI band placement. |
| PLLIN (Pin 24) | External sync input | Falling-edge triggered; synchronizes both channels to external clock - eliminates beat frequencies in multi-controller systems. |
| SW2 (Pin 25) | Channel 2 switching node | Same role as SW1; connects to QA2/QB2 junction - monitored identically for protection and mode control. |
| TG2 (Pin 26) | Channel 2 top gate driver | Functionally identical to TG1; drives QA2 with same timing and drive strength. |
| BOOST2 (Pin 27) | Channel 2 top gate bootstrap supply | Same bootstrapping scheme as BOOST1; ensures consistent high-side gate drive across both phases. |
| BG2 (Pin 28) | Channel 2 bottom gate driver | Same capability as BG1; drives QB2 with matched timing and sink/source strength. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the LTC3802EGN#TRPBF?
The LTC3802EGN#TRPBF supports an absolute maximum input voltage of 30V on the VINFF pin and operates continuously from 3V to 30V. This wide input range enables direct use with unregulated 24V industrial rails or multi-cell Li-ion batteries without pre-regulation stages, simplifying system architecture and improving overall efficiency in the LTC3802EGN#TRPBF-based design.
How does the LTC3802EGN#TRPBF achieve precise power sequencing between its two output channels?
The LTC3802EGN#TRPBF uses the FBT pin to servo CMPIN2 during startup and shutdown, enforcing matched slew rates between VOUT1 and VOUT2. By connecting FBT to a resistive divider matching that on CMPIN2, the LTC3802EGN#TRPBF guarantees monotonic, ratiometric voltage ramps - preventing bus contention or latch-up in multi-core processors and FPGAs powered by the LTC3802EGN#TRPBF.
Can the LTC3802EGN#TRPBF operate with only one channel active?
Yes, the LTC3802EGN#TRPBF supports single-channel operation. Leaving PLLIN floating or grounded disables synchronization, allowing Channel 1 to run freely at 550kHz while Channel 2 remains functional but unsynchronized. Both channels retain independent feedback, current limit, and protection functions - enabling flexible configuration in the LTC3802EGN#TRPBF for partial-load or redundancy applications.
What is the purpose of the VINFF pin on the LTC3802EGN#TRPBF?
The VINFF pin on the LTC3802EGN#TRPBF provides line feedforward compensation by directly modulating the PWM comparator input in proportion to input voltage changes. This bypasses the feedback loop, reducing line transient response time to under 100µs and improving line regulation to ±0.1%/V - a critical feature for the LTC3802EGN#TRPBF in systems with variable input sources like automotive or adapter-powered equipment.
Does the LTC3802EGN#TRPBF require external current sense resistors for overcurrent protection?
No, the LTC3802EGN#TRPBF does not require external current sense resistors. It uses the voltage drop across the low-side MOSFET (monitored at SWx) combined with an internal 10µA current source on IMAX1/IMAX2 pins to set the current limit threshold. This eliminates sense resistor power loss and layout sensitivity, enhancing efficiency and simplifying design for the LTC3802EGN#TRPBF in high-current applications.
