Product details
Overview
LTC3858IUFD-1#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual-phase, synchronous step-down DC/DC controller IC designed for high-efficiency, low-quiescent-current power conversion in battery- and intermediate-bus-powered systems. It delivers two independent outputs (e.g., 3.3V/5A and 8.5V/3.5A), supports 4V–38V input, features 170μA no-load IQ (one channel active), and operates out-of-phase to reduce input ripple and EMI.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3858IUFD-1#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3858IUFD-1#TRPBF pinout, LTC3858IUFD-1#TRPBF application, or LTC3858IUFD-1#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-channel current-mode architecture, OPTI-LOOP® compensation, programmable 50kHz–900kHz switching frequency, selectable light-load modes (Burst Mode®, pulse-skipping, forced continuous), and integrated short-circuit latchoff with independent soft-start.
Technical Context
The LTC3858IUFD-1#TRPBF implements a constant-frequency, current-mode control architecture with two independent 180° out-of-phase controllers driving external N-channel MOSFETs. Each channel uses a transconductance error amplifier (gm = 2 mmho), precision 0.800V reference (±12 mV over –40°C to 125°C), and differential current sensing via SENSE+/- pins supporting both RSENSE and DCR methods.
Its internal 5.1V INTVCC LDO can be powered from VIN or an external EXTVCC supply ≥4.7V, enabling efficient self-biasing from output rails. The device integrates phase-lockable synchronization (75kHz–850kHz), adjustable current limit via ITH voltage, and robust protection including output overvoltage detection (±10% VFB trip), PGOOD1 monitoring, and short-circuit latchoff triggered by SS pin discharge.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 38V - supports wide-range industrial, automotive, and battery chemistries (e.g., 12V/24V bus, Li-ion, lead-acid). |
| Quiescent Current (One Channel On) | 170μA typical - extends runtime in always-on battery-powered digital devices. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 0.800V ±12mV (–40°C to 125°C) - enables precise output regulation down to 0.8V with minimal drift. |
| Switching Frequency Range | 50kHz to 900kHz (programmable) - balances efficiency, size, and EMI; supports synchronization to external clock. |
| Output Phase Relationship | 180° out-of-phase operation - halves required input capacitance and reduces RMS input ripple current. |
| Shutdown Current | 8μA maximum - ensures ultra-low standby power when both RUN pins are pulled low. |
| Package | 28-lead 4mm × 5mm QFN - thermally enhanced surface-mount package with exposed SGND pad (θJA = 43°C/W). |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-lead plastic QFN (4mm × 5mm), exposed thermal pad (Pin 29) connected to SGND. Requires soldering of exposed pad for rated thermal performance (TJMAX = 125°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SENSE1+, SENSE2+ | Differential current sense (+) inputs | Connect to DCR network or RSENSE to set per-channel peak current limit; enable accurate current-mode control. |
| SENSE1–, SENSE2– | Differential current sense (–) inputs | Reference return for current sensing; bias current varies with common-mode voltage (e.g., –550μA at VOUT < INTVCC – 0.5V). |
| TG1, TG2 | Top gate drivers | Drive external high-side N-MOSFET gates with 2.5Ω pull-up / 1.5Ω pull-down; voltage swing = INTVCC – 0.5V superimposed on SW node. |
| BG1, BG2 | Bottom gate drivers | Drive external low-side N-MOSFET gates with 2.4Ω pull-up / 1.1Ω pull-down; rail-to-rail swing (0V to INTVCC). |
| VFB1, VFB2 | Feedback inputs | Monitor regulated output voltage via resistive divider; comparator trips at ±10% deviation for PGOOD1 assertion. |
| SS1, SS2 | Soft-start / latchoff timer inputs | Internal 1μA pull-up charges external capacitor for controlled ramp-up; also discharges at 9μA during short-circuit to trigger latchoff at 1.5V. |
| ITH1, ITH2 | Error amplifier outputs | Set per-channel current limit threshold; voltage range 0V–1.2V directly scales peak inductor current. |
| PLLIN/MODE | Sync input / light-load mode select | Pull to GND → Burst Mode®; to INTVCC → forced continuous; to 1.2V–(INTVCC–1.3V) → pulse-skipping. |
| FREQ | Oscillator frequency control | Resistor-to-GND sets frequency (50kHz–900kHz); internal 20μA current source enables simple programming. |
| RUN1, RUN2 | Channel enable/disable controls | <1.26V disables individual channel; <0.7V shuts down entire IC (IQ = 8μA). |
| PGOOD1 | Power-good indicator | Open-drain output asserting low when VFB1 deviates >±10% from 0.8V; supports system sequencing and fault reporting. |
| VIN, PGND, SGND | Main input, power ground, signal ground | VIN powers internal LDO; PGND connects to MOSFET sources; SGND is isolated analog ground for sensitive feedback paths. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| OPTI-LOOP® Compensation | Minimizes required output capacitance and enables stable loop response across wide COUT/ESR variations without external compensation redesign. |
| Out-of-Phase Dual Control | Reduces RMS input ripple current by ~30% and cuts peak input capacitor stress, allowing smaller, lower-cost bulk capacitors. |
| Independent Soft-Start & Short-Circuit Latchoff | Each channel ramps output voltage separately; SS pin serves dual role-soft-start timing and autonomous short-circuit timeout (no external logic needed). |
| Low-Dropout Operation (99% Duty Cycle) | Enables regulation with VIN as low as VOUT + 0.2V (e.g., 3.5V IN → 3.3V OUT), critical for battery end-of-life operation. |
| EXTVCC Bias Option | Accepts external 4.7V–14V supply to power INTVCC, eliminating LDO losses and enabling high-efficiency self-bias from converter outputs. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC3858IUFD-1#TRPBF?
The LTC3858IUFD-1#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input supply voltage (VIN) rating of 40V, with a recommended operating range of 4V to 38V. Exceeding 40V may cause permanent damage. This wide input range allows the LTC3858IUFD-1#TRPBF to accommodate 24V industrial buses, 12V automotive systems with load dump, and multi-cell battery packs.
How does the LTC3858IUFD-1#TRPBF achieve ultra-low quiescent current in battery-powered applications?
The LTC3858IUFD-1#TRPBF achieves 170μA typical quiescent current (one channel active) through optimized bias circuitry, sleep-mode gating of non-essential blocks, and a dedicated low-IQ architecture. In shutdown (both RUN pins <0.7V), it draws only 8μA. This enables multi-week operation in always-on portable medical or IoT devices using the LTC3858IUFD-1#TRPBF as primary power controller.
Can the LTC3858IUFD-1#TRPBF drive MOSFETs directly, and what are the gate driver specifications?
Yes, the LTC3858IUFD-1#TRPBF integrates high-current gate drivers: TG1/TG2 (top-side, 2.5Ω pull-up/1.5Ω pull-down) and BG1/BG2 (bottom-side, 2.4Ω pull-up/1.1Ω pull-down). Each driver supports 3300pF load with 13–28ns transition times. These drivers directly interface with standard N-channel MOSFETs, eliminating need for external drivers in most designs using the LTC3858IUFD-1#TRPBF.
What protection features are built into the LTC3858IUFD-1#TRPBF?
The LTC3858IUFD-1#TRPBF includes output overvoltage protection (±10% VFB trip), short-circuit latchoff (SS-pin-based autonomous shutdown), undervoltage lockout (3.6V–4.2V), and foldback current limiting. It also provides PGOOD1 monitoring and 99% duty-cycle dropout operation. These protections ensure robust operation in unattended systems using the LTC3858IUFD-1#TRPBF without external supervision circuits.
Is the LTC3858IUFD-1#TRPBF pin-compatible with other members of the LTC3858 family?
Yes, the LTC3858IUFD-1#TRPBF shares identical pinout and footprint with all 28-lead QFN variants of the LTC3858-1 family, including LTC3858EUFD-1#TRPBF and LTC3858HUFD-1#TRPBF. Differences are limited to temperature grade and ordering options-no PCB redesign is needed when upgrading from E-grade to I-grade, confirming direct replacement capability for the LTC3858IUFD-1#TRPBF.
