Product details
Overview
LTC3802EUH#PBF 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 implements leading-edge modulation, supports 550kHz fixed-frequency operation (adjustable 330–750kHz), delivers two 180° out-of-phase outputs with programmable up/down tracking, and targets multi-rail power systems in portable computing and battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3802EUH#PBF datasheet, LTC3802EUH#PBF pinout, LTC3802EUH#PBF application, or LTC3802EUH#PBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, confirmed package mapping (32-lead QFN, 5mm × 5mm), validated pin functions, real-world sequencing behavior, and two field-validated alternative controllers with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The LTC3802EUH#PBF uses voltage-mode control with line feedforward compensation to minimize input-line transient response delay and eliminate subharmonic oscillation. Its leading-edge modulation architecture enables stable operation at extremely low duty cycles (<5%) without slope compensation.
It integrates two independent buck controllers sharing a master clock, with phase relationship configurable via PHASEMD pin (0°/90°/180°/270° relative to PLLIN). Each channel features programmable current limit via IMAX pins, real-time overvoltage protection on CMPIN, and PGOOD flag with ±10% threshold referenced to 0.6V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3V to 30V - supports wide-input industrial and battery-derived rails without pre-regulation. |
| Switching Frequency | 550kHz typical (330–750kHz programmable via PLLLPF) - balances efficiency, size, and EMI compliance in compact layouts. |
| Output Phase Relationship | 180° out-of-phase operation - reduces input capacitor RMS current by ~70%, enabling smaller bulk capacitance. |
| Reference Voltage | 0.6V ±1% - enables precise output regulation down to 0.6V and scalable higher voltages using resistive dividers. |
| Tracking Accuracy | Programmable up/down slew rate via FBT/CMPIN2 - ensures controlled power sequencing between dual outputs (e.g., core vs I/O rails). |
| Shutdown Current | <100µA - meets ultra-low quiescent power requirements for always-on subsystems. |
| Burst Mode Threshold | Automatically engages below ~0.2A load - maintains >85% efficiency at light loads without external enable logic. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 32-lead (5mm × 5mm) plastic QFN with exposed PGND pad (Pin 33), RoHS-compliant, thermal resistance θJA = 34°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW1 / SW2 | Switching Node (Ch1 / Ch2) | Connects directly to source of bottom MOSFET and drain of top MOSFET; monitored for current limit and burst mode entry. |
| TG1 / TG2 | Top Gate Drive Output | Drives gate of high-side N-MOSFET with bootstrapped voltage swing; rated for ≤6000pF gate capacitance. |
| BG1 / BG2 | Bottom Gate Drive Output | Drives gate of low-side N-MOSFET; rated for ≤10,000pF gate capacitance; returns to PGND. |
| IMAX1 / IMAX2 | Current Limit Programming Input | Internal 10µA current source pulls up; sets ILIM threshold via single resistor to SGND - eliminates sense resistor. |
| CMPIN1 / CMPIN2 | Real-Time Output Voltage Monitor | Direct connection to VOUT divider; feeds PGOOD, overvoltage, and burst comparators - enables fast fault response. |
| FBT | Feedback Tracking Input | Servos to CMPIN2 during startup/shutdown to enforce synchronized ramp rates between channels. |
| RUN/SS | Soft-Start & Enable Control | 7µA internal pull-up; external capacitor sets ramp time (~300ms/µF); <0.8V forces shutdown. |
| PHASEMD | Phase Configuration Select | Floating = 0° phase offset; pulled high = +90°; pulled low = power-down tracking - no external logic required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Leading-edge modulation | Enables stable sub-5% duty cycle operation without minimum pulse width constraints - critical for high VIN/VOUT ratios (e.g., 24V→1.2V). |
| Line feedforward compensation (VINFF) | Directly modulates PWM comparator input to cancel line transients within one switching cycle - improves line regulation to ±0.1%. |
| Programmable current limit without sense resistor | Reduces BOM count and PCB area; eliminates I²R losses and thermal drift associated with discrete sense resistors. |
| 180° out-of-phase dual-channel operation | Cuts input ripple frequency in half and reduces RMS input capacitor current - allows use of smaller, lower-ESR ceramic capacitors. |
| Burst Mode® at light load | Maintains >85% efficiency at 0.2A output while reducing switching losses - extends battery runtime in portable devices. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-phase synchronous buck controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3855IUFD#PBF | Single-channel, 600kHz, integrated MOSFET drivers (no external gate drivers needed); supports 4.5V–38V input. | Lacks dual-phase interleaving and tracking; better suited for space-constrained single-rail designs. | Select when board area is critical and only one output is required; not suitable for interleaved input filtering or rail sequencing. |
| MP2918GL-Z | Dual-phase, 600kHz, integrated MOSFET drivers; includes PMBus interface and telemetry; requires external current sense resistors. | Offers digital configuration and fault logging but adds firmware dependency and BOM complexity. | Select when system-level telemetry, remote configuration, or adaptive loop tuning is required - not drop-in compatible. |
Compared with LTC3802EUH#PBF, LTC3855IUFD#PBF simplifies layout but sacrifices dual-rail coordination, while MP2918GL-Z adds digital intelligence at the cost of analog simplicity and sense-resistor overhead - LTC3802EUH#PBF remains optimal for analog-controlled, high-reliability dual-rail sequencing.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the LTC3802EUH#PBF?
The LTC3802EUH#PBF supports an absolute maximum input voltage of 30V on the VINFF pin and operates continuously from 3V to 30V. This wide range enables direct use with 24V industrial buses and multi-cell Li-ion battery packs without intermediate regulation. Exceeding 30V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Does the LTC3802EUH#PBF require external current sense resistors?
No, the LTC3802EUH#PBF does not require external current sense resistors. It implements programmable current limiting via internal 10µA current sources on IMAX1 and IMAX2 pins - connecting a single resistor from each IMAX pin to SGND sets the overcurrent threshold, eliminating sense resistor losses and layout sensitivity.
How does the LTC3802EUH#PBF achieve power rail sequencing?
The LTC3802EUH#PBF achieves precise power rail sequencing through its FBT pin, which is servoed to CMPIN2 during startup and shutdown. By configuring resistive dividers on FBT and CMPIN2, designers enforce matched or ratiometric slew rates between VOUT1 and VOUT2 - ensuring safe core-I/O or analog-digital power-up order without external timers.
What package type is used for the LTC3802EUH#PBF?
The LTC3802EUH#PBF uses a 32-lead plastic QFN package measuring 5mm × 5mm with an exposed PGND pad (Pin 33). This thermally enhanced package delivers θJA = 34°C/W and requires soldering the exposed pad to the PCB ground plane for proper thermal and electrical performance.
Can the LTC3802EUH#PBF operate in Burst Mode® with both channels active?
Yes, the LTC3802EUH#PBF automatically enters Burst Mode® on each channel independently when its respective load falls below ~0.2A. Both channels may operate in Burst Mode simultaneously under light-load conditions, maintaining high efficiency without requiring external control signals or mode selection pins.
