Product details
Overview
LTC3862EFE-2#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a two-phase, constant-frequency, current-mode boost/SEPIC DC/DC controller driving external N-channel MOSFETs for high-voltage step-up conversion. It operates from 5.5V to 36V input, delivers up to 80V output, supports 75kHz–500kHz adjustable switching frequency, and features 180° phase-shifted dual channels to reduce input/output ripple. It is used in telecom power supplies requiring stable 80V bus generation from 24V or 32V rails.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3862EFE-2#PBF datasheet, LTC3862EFE-2#PBF pinout, LTC3862EFE-2#PBF application, or LTC3862EFE-2#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2-phase peak-current-mode architecture, programmable maximum duty cycle (75–96%), internal 10V/3.8V dual LDOs, ±1% reference accuracy, and TSSOP-24 thermal performance (θJA = 38°C/W).
Technical Context
The LTC3862EFE-2#PBF implements fixed-frequency peak-current-mode control with two independent channels operating 180° out-of-phase. Its error amplifier compares FB voltage against a 1.223V reference and drives ITH to modulate peak inductor current; slope compensation gain is programmable via SLOPE pin (0.625× to 1.66× nominal).
It integrates cascaded PMOS LDOs: INTVCC (10V, 50mA max) powers gate drivers, while 3V8 (3.8V) supplies analog/digital circuitry. UVLO thresholds are 4.4V (rising) and 3.9V (falling) on INTVCC, enabling reliable operation with 6VGSS MOSFETs. Phase synchronization uses PLL-based SYNC/CLKOUT with PHASEMODE-selectable 2-/3-/4-/6-/12-phase daisy-chaining.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 5.5V to 36V - supports wide-input industrial and telecom rails without pre-regulation. |
| Switching Frequency | 75kHz to 500kHz - set by single resistor on FREQ pin; enables optimization of size vs. efficiency. |
| Max Duty Cycle | 75% to 96% - selectable via DMAX pin; allows flexible VOUT/VIN ratio design (e.g., 80V from 24V). |
| Reference Voltage | 1.223V ±1% - high-accuracy FB threshold ensures tight output regulation across temperature. |
| INTVCC UVLO | 4.4V (rising), 3.9V (falling) - protects gate drive integrity during brown-out conditions. |
| Min On-Time | 210ns to 375ns - adjustable via BLANK pin; supports high-VOUT/low-VIN operation at high frequencies. |
| Phase Relationship | 180° CH1–CH2 - reduces input capacitor RMS current and EMI in multi-phase configurations. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 24-lead plastic TSSOP (FE package), 0.65mm lead pitch, exposed PGND pad (Pin 25) requiring PCB soldering for thermal and electrical performance (θJA = 38°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PGND (Pin 25) | Power Ground | Exposed thermal pad tied to PGND; must be soldered to PCB ground plane for rated thermal performance and low-impedance return path for MOSFET sources. |
| GATE1 / GATE2 (Pins 18, 16) | N-Channel MOSFET Gate Drivers | 10V gate drive referenced to PGND; capable of driving high-QG MOSFETs with RDS(ON) rated at 6VGS. |
| SENSE1+/SENSE2+ (Pins 23, 13) | Current Sense Inputs (+) | Differential inputs to peak-current comparators; connect to top of sense resistors for per-phase current monitoring. |
| FB (Pin 8) | Error Amplifier Inverting Input | Connects to resistive divider from VOUT; sets regulated output voltage as VOUT = 1.223V × (1 + R1/R2). |
| ITH (Pin 7) | Error Amplifier Output | Drives current comparator threshold; also used for loop compensation via RC network from ITH to SGND. |
| DMAX (Pin 1) | Maximum Duty Cycle Control | Ground → 96%, float → 84%, 3V8 → 75%; precise limit derived from 12× internal clock for accurate timing. |
| PHASEMODE (Pin 4) | Multi-Phase Configuration | SGND/float/3V8 selects 180°/180°/120° CH1–CH2 phase shift and corresponding CLKOUT alignment for scalable polyphase systems. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Two-phase current-mode control | Reduces input/output capacitor RMS current by ~30% vs. single-phase, lowering component count and board area. |
| Programmable slope compensation | SLOPE pin adjusts gain (0.625× to 1.66×) to stabilize current loop across varying duty cycles and inductor values. |
| Dual integrated LDOs (10V/3.8V) | Eliminates need for external bias supplies; 10V INTVCC enables robust gate drive for high-RDS(ON) MOSFETs. |
| Adjustable leading-edge blanking | BLANK pin configures minimum on-time (210–375ns) to reject gate-drive-induced noise during MOSFET turn-on. |
| SYNC/CLKOUT for multi-phase scaling | Enables seamless expansion to 2-, 3-, 4-, 6-, or 12-phase systems using single master clock and daisy-chained CLKOUT. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC3862EFE-2#PBF?
The LTC3862EFE-2#PBF is rated for –40°C to +85°C junction temperature. This E-grade version is specified over the full industrial temperature range and validated for reliable operation in telecom and industrial environments where ambient temperatures remain within this envelope. Derating applies above 125°C junction.
How does the DMAX pin affect duty cycle in the LTC3862EFE-2#PBF?
The DMAX pin on the LTC3862EFE-2#PBF directly programs the maximum duty cycle: grounding sets 96%, floating yields 84%, and connecting to 3V8 limits it to 75%. This adjustment is implemented via an internal 12× clock, ensuring precise, temperature-stable duty cycle limiting critical for high-VOUT/VIN ratios in the LTC3862EFE-2#PBF.
Can the LTC3862EFE-2#PBF synchronize to an external clock?
Yes, the LTC3862EFE-2#PBF supports external synchronization via its SYNC pin, accepting input clocks from 50kHz to 650kHz. The internal PLL aligns GATE1's rising edge to the SYNC rising edge, enabling deterministic timing across multiple phases or with system clocks-essential for EMI reduction and deterministic power sequencing in the LTC3862EFE-2#PBF.
What is the purpose of the 3V8 pin on the LTC3862EFE-2#PBF?
The 3V8 pin on the LTC3862EFE-2#PBF is the output of an internal LDO powered from INTVCC, providing a regulated 3.8V supply exclusively for low-voltage analog and digital control circuitry. It must be bypassed with a 1nF ceramic capacitor to SGND and is not intended to power external components-ensuring noise isolation and stable internal bias for the LTC3862EFE-2#PBF's error amplifier and logic.
Does the LTC3862EFE-2#PBF support SEPIC topology?
Yes, the LTC3862EFE-2#PBF supports both boost and SEPIC topologies using the same two-phase current-mode architecture. Its dual gate drivers, independent current sense inputs (SENSE1±, SENSE2±), and flexible feedback configuration allow direct implementation of non-inverting SEPIC converters-commonly used in automotive and industrial applications requiring input-output isolation in the LTC3862EFE-2#PBF.
