Product details
Overview
LTC3858EUH-2#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual-phase, synchronous step-down DC/DC controller IC driving two independent N-channel MOSFET stages. It delivers 0.8V–24V output voltage across 4V–38V input, supports out-of-phase operation to reduce input ripple, features 170μA no-load quiescent current, and operates up to 850kHz with phase-lock capability - enabling high-efficiency 3.3V/8.5V dual-rail power for battery-powered digital systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3858EUH-2#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3858EUH-2#TRPBF pinout, LTC3858EUH-2#TRPBF application, or LTC3858EUH-2#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-channel current-mode architecture, OPTI-LOOP® compensation, selectable light-load modes (Burst Mode®, pulse-skipping, forced continuous), and 5mm × 5mm QFN-32 package with exposed thermal pad.
Technical Context
The LTC3858EUH-2#TRPBF implements a constant-frequency current-mode control architecture with two independent controllers operating 180° out of phase. Each channel uses an error amplifier (EA) comparing VFB to a 0.800V reference, with ITH pin voltage setting peak inductor current via differential current sensing at SENSE+ and SENSE− pins.
It integrates dual gate drivers (TG/BG) with 2.5Ω pull-up and 1.5Ω pull-down on TG, supports RSENSE or DCR sensing, includes programmable frequency (50–900kHz) via FREQ pin, and disables overvoltage crowbar and short-circuit latchoff - distinguishing it from LTC3858 and LTC3858-1 variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 4V to 38V - supports wide-input industrial, automotive, and battery-based intermediate bus applications. |
| VOUT Range | 0.8V to 24V - enables flexible dual-rail generation including 3.3V, 5V, 8.5V, and 12V outputs. |
| IQ (One Channel On) | 170μA - extends runtime in battery-operated systems by minimizing no-load power loss. |
| fSYNC | 75kHz to 850kHz - allows EMI optimization and input capacitor reduction via external clock synchronization. |
| Duty Cycle Max | 99% - enables ultra-low dropout operation when VIN approaches VOUT, critical for high-efficiency near-rail regulation. |
| Feedback Voltage | 0.800V ±12mV - precise reference ensures tight output regulation across temperature and load. |
| Shutdown IQ | 8μA - facilitates deep power-down for system-level energy management. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 32-lead (5mm × 5mm) plastic QFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 33 = SGND), rated for –40°C to 125°C junction temperature. Exposed pad must be soldered to PCB for thermal performance (θJA = 34°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SENSE1−, SENSE2− (1, 9) | Differential current sense (−) inputs | Accept common-mode voltages up to INTVCC − 0.5V; bias current ±1μA enables accurate DCR/RSENSE sensing. |
| FREQ (2) | Oscillator frequency programming | 20μA internal pull-up sets VCO frequency; resistor-to-GND selects 50–900kHz; GND/INTVCC forces fixed 350/535kHz. |
| PLLIN/MODE (5) | Sync input & light-load mode control | Accepts external clock (75–850kHz) or DC voltage: GND = Burst Mode®, INTVCC = forced continuous, 1.2–(INTVCC−1.3)V = pulse-skipping. |
| SGND (6, 33) | Small-signal ground reference | Must be routed separately from PGND; exposed pad (Pin 33) is SGND and requires solid thermal connection to PCB. |
| RUN1, RUN2 (7, 8) | Independent channel enable | Below 1.26V shuts down respective channel; both <0.7V enables 8μA shutdown mode. |
| TG1, TG2 (15, 26) | Top N-MOSFET gate drivers | Floating drivers with ~2.5Ω pull-up; voltage swing = INTVCC − 0.5V superimposed on SW node. |
| PGOOD1, PGOOD2 (14, 27) | Open-drain output voltage monitors | Assert low when VFB deviates >±10% from 0.8V; includes 2.5% hysteresis for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| OPTI-LOOP® Compensation | Enables stable transient response across wide range of output capacitance (e.g., 22μF–150μF) and ESR without loop redesign. |
| Out-of-Phase Dual Control | Reduces RMS input ripple current by ~70% vs in-phase operation, allowing smaller input capacitors and lower ESR stress. |
| Selectably Programmable Light-Load Modes | Burst Mode® (170μA IQ), pulse-skipping, or forced continuous - lets designers optimize efficiency vs output ripple trade-off per application. |
| Independent Soft-Start / Tracking (SS1, SS2) | Internal 1μA pull-up + external capacitor enables linear ramp; resistor divider enables precise voltage tracking during power-up sequences. |
| Integrated INTVCC LDO with EXTVCC Switchover | 5.1V ±3% regulated supply powers gate drivers; automatic switchover to EXTVCC ≥4.7V improves efficiency when powered from local rail. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3858IUH-2#TRPBF | Same silicon, rated for full –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature (vs E-grade's 0°C to 85°C guaranteed spec). | Required for extended-temperature industrial or under-hood automotive use where ambient exceeds 85°C. | Select when full temperature range validation is mandated; identical pinout, layout, and firmware compatibility. |
| MP2918GL-Z | Monolithic dual buck (integrated MOSFETs); 4.5–18V VIN; fixed 0.6V reference; no PLL sync or OPTI-LOOP. | Suitable for space-constrained, lower-power (<10A/channel) applications where integration outweighs flexibility. | Choose for simplified BOM and layout when input voltage ≤18V and design does not require phase sync or ultra-low IQ. |
Compared with LTC3858IUH-2#TRPBF, the LTC3858EUH-2#TRPBF offers identical functionality but with production-tested specs only to 85°C ambient - making it cost-optimized for commercial-temperature applications. Versus MP2918GL-Z, it trades monolithic integration for higher VIN, programmable topology, and superior light-load efficiency control.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the LTC3858EUH-2#TRPBF?
The LTC3858EUH-2#TRPBF is a dual-phase, synchronous step-down DC/DC controller IC that drives external N-channel MOSFETs to generate two independently regulated output voltages. Its core function is high-efficiency power conversion across a wide input range (4V–38V), with features like out-of-phase operation, OPTI-LOOP® compensation, and selectable light-load modes - all implemented in the LTC3858EUH-2#TRPBF's 5mm × 5mm QFN package.
How does the LTC3858EUH-2#TRPBF achieve ultra-low quiescent current?
The LTC3858EUH-2#TRPBF achieves 170μA quiescent current (one channel active) through integrated sleep-mode circuitry triggered when ITH drops below 0.425V. In this state, internal bias currents and non-essential blocks are disabled while retaining feedback monitoring. The LTC3858EUH-2#TRPBF also features an 8μA shutdown mode when both RUN pins fall below 0.7V - critical for battery longevity in always-on systems.
Can the LTC3858EUH-2#TRPBF synchronize to an external clock?
Yes, the LTC3858EUH-2#TRPBF supports external synchronization via the PLLIN/MODE pin. When an external clock (75kHz–850kHz) is applied, its internal phase-locked loop aligns the rising edge of TG1 with the external clock's rising edge. This capability is documented in the LTC3858EUH-2#TRPBF datasheet Figure 1 and enables EMI reduction and multi-controller coordination without requiring additional timing components.
What is the purpose of the ILIM pin on the LTC3858EUH-2#TRPBF?
The ILIM pin on the LTC3858EUH-2#TRPBF selects one of three maximum current sense threshold levels (22mV, 43mV, or 64mV) for both current comparators. Tying ILIM to SGND, FLOAT, or INTVCC configures the trip point to match different RSENSE values or DCR networks - enabling consistent current limiting across varying inductor or sense resistor selections in the LTC3858EUH-2#TRPBF application circuit.
Does the LTC3858EUH-2#TRPBF support output voltage tracking during startup?
Yes, the LTC3858EUH-2#TRPBF supports precise output voltage tracking using the SS1 and SS2 pins. By connecting an external resistor divider from a master supply to SGND and routing it to SS1 or SS2, the LTC3858EUH-2#TRPBF regulates its VFB pin to follow the divider voltage - ensuring controlled, monotonic startup sequencing between multiple rails without external supervisors.
