Product details
Overview
LTC3862EFE-1#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a two-phase, constant-frequency, peak current mode boost/SEPIC DC/DC controller driving external N-channel MOSFETs. It operates from 8.5V to 36V input, delivers up to 96% duty cycle, supports 75kHz–500kHz adjustable switching frequency, and integrates dual 10V gate drivers for high-voltage power stages-used in telecom base station power supplies requiring high-efficiency step-up conversion.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3862EFE-1#PBF datasheet, LTC3862EFE-1#PBF pinout, LTC3862EFE-1#PBF application, or LTC3862EFE-1#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include phase synchronization capability (SYNC/CLKOUT), programmable maximum duty cycle (DMAX pin), leading-edge blanking control (BLANK pin), internal 10V INTVCC LDO regulation, and thermal performance in the 24-lead TSSOP package with exposed PGND pad.
Technical Context
The LTC3862EFE-1#PBF implements fixed-frequency, peak current mode control with two independent channels operating 180° out of phase to reduce input/output ripple. Its error amplifier compares FB voltage against a ±1% 1.223V reference and drives ITH to modulate peak inductor current per channel.
Phase alignment is programmable via PHASEMODE (0V/float/3.8V), enabling 2-, 3-, 4-, 6-, or 12-phase multi-controller systems using SYNC and CLKOUT. The internal PLL allows synchronization to external clocks from 50kHz to 650kHz, while slope compensation gain is adjustable via SLOPE pin to stabilize current-mode operation across duty cycles.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 8.5V to 36V - supports wide-input industrial and telecom power rails without pre-regulation. |
| Switching Frequency | 75kHz to 500kHz (resistor-programmable) - balances efficiency vs. size of magnetics and capacitors. |
| Max Duty Cycle | Up to 96% (via DMAX pin grounded) - enables high step-up ratios (e.g., 12V→72V) with minimal dropout loss. |
| Gate Drive Voltage | 10V (INTVCC LDO) - ensures full enhancement of high-voltage N-channel MOSFETs (e.g., >100V VDS). |
| Reference Accuracy | ±1% at 1.223V (E-grade) - enables precise output voltage regulation in feedback loop design. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 60mV to 90mV (temperature- and ITH-dependent) - sets peak inductor current limit with matched channel tracking (±10mV). |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C (E-grade) - qualified for commercial/industrial ambient environments without derating. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 24-lead thermally enhanced TSSOP (FE24) with exposed PGND pad (Pin 25), 0.65mm lead pitch, θJA = 38°C/W. Exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DMAX (Pin 1) | Maximum duty cycle programming | Ground → 96%; float → 84%; 3.8V → 75% - enables precise control of boost ratio and minimum off-time. |
| GATE1 / GATE2 (Pins 18, 16) | N-channel MOSFET gate drive outputs | 10V push-pull drivers referenced to PGND - directly drive high-side switches in boost/SEPIC topologies. |
| SENSE1+/SENSE2+ (Pins 23, 13) | Positive current sense inputs | Differential inputs to current comparators - connect to high-side sense resistor for accurate peak current detection. |
| PHASEMODE (Pin 4) | Multi-phase phase relationship control | Configures CH1–CH2 phase offset (180°/180°/120°) and CH1–CLKOUT relationship (90°/60°/240°) for scalable polyphase designs. |
| SYNC (Pin 11) | External clock synchronization input | Accepts 50kHz–650kHz TTL/CMOS clock - aligns GATE1 rising edge to SYNC rising edge for EMI reduction and system-level timing coherence. |
| INTVCC (Pin 19) | 10V gate driver supply output | Internally regulated LDO output - bypass with ≥4.7µF ceramic to PGND; powers gate drivers and internal logic. |
| PGND (Pin 17 + Exposed Pad 25) | Power ground return | Low-impedance return path for MOSFET sources and INTVCC capacitor - electrically isolated from SGND to prevent noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Two-phase interleaved operation | Reduces input/output ripple current by ~70% vs. single-phase, allowing smaller bulk capacitors and lower ESR requirements. |
| Programmable leading-edge blanking (BLANK) | Adjusts minimum on-time (210ns/290ns/375ns) to suppress gate-drive-induced current-sense noise during MOSFET turn-on. |
| Internal 10V INTVCC LDO with UVLO | 7.5V rising UVLO threshold with 500mV hysteresis - prevents erratic gate drive during brown-out conditions. |
| Precision RUN pin with hysteresis | 1.22V enable threshold with 80mV hysteresis - enables clean, noise-immune power sequencing and soft-start initiation. |
| Adjustable slope compensation (SLOPE) | Normalized gain of 0.625/1.0/1.66 - stabilizes current-mode control across wide duty-cycle ranges and prevents subharmonic oscillation. |

FAQ
What is the maximum achievable output voltage using LTC3862EFE-1#PBF in a boost configuration?
The LTC3862EFE-1#PBF itself does not impose a hard upper limit on output voltage; it is determined by external component ratings (MOSFET VDS, diode PIV, capacitor WV). With 96% max duty cycle and 36V VIN, theoretical VOUT ≈ VIN/(1−D) ≈ 900V-but practical designs typically target ≤100V due to efficiency, EMI, and safety constraints. The LTC3862EFE-1#PBF has been validated in 72V output telecom applications with >94% efficiency.
Can LTC3862EFE-1#PBF operate in single-phase mode?
Yes, LTC3862EFE-1#PBF can operate in single-phase mode by tying PHASEMODE to SGND or 3.8V and leaving one gate drive unused. However, its two-phase architecture is optimized for interleaving-using only one channel forfeits ripple cancellation benefits and reduces maximum output current capability by ~50%. For true single-phase needs, consider the pin-compatible LTC3780.
Does LTC3862EFE-1#PBF require external compensation components?
Yes, LTC3862EFE-1#PBF requires external Type II or Type III compensation on the ITH node (typically R-C network from ITH to SGND and/or FB) to stabilize the current-mode control loop. The datasheet provides design equations and example values based on output filter parameters. No internal compensation is provided-the ITH pin is the error amplifier output and must be externally compensated.
How is the 10V INTVCC LDO protected against overload?
The LTC3862EFE-1#PBF's INTVCC LDO includes overcurrent limiting and thermal shutdown but no foldback or hiccup mode. Absolute maximum continuous output is 50mA RMS. Exceeding this-e.g., by driving multiple large-QG MOSFETs at high frequency-causes INTVCC voltage droop, triggering UVLO and disabling gate drive. Designers must calculate total gate charge demand (QG × fSW × 2) and ensure it stays within 50mA average.
Is LTC3862EFE-1#PBF RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, LTC3862EFE-1#PBF is RoHS-compliant and features 100% matte tin lead finish. The "#PBF" suffix explicitly denotes lead-free packaging. It is qualified for standard SnPb or lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C), and the exposed PGND pad must be soldered to ensure thermal performance and electrical grounding per JEDEC J-STD-020.
