Product details
Overview
LTC3862EFE#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a two-phase, constant-frequency, peak current mode boost/SEPIC DC/DC controller driving N-channel MOSFETs. It operates from 4V to 36V input, delivers up to 96% max duty cycle, supports 75kHz–500kHz adjustable switching frequency, and integrates dual 5V gate drivers with internal 5V/3.8V LDOs. It enables high-efficiency 48V telecom power supplies with reduced input/output filtering.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3862EFE#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3862EFE#TRPBF pinout, LTC3862EFE#TRPBF application, or LTC3862EFE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include phase synchronization capability (SYNC/CLKOUT), programmable DMAX/SLOPE/BLANK, multi-phase scalability (2-/3-/4-/6-/12-phase), and AEC-Q100-qualified temperature grade compatibility.
Technical Context
The LTC3862EFE#TRPBF implements fixed-frequency, peak current mode control with two interleaved channels operating 180° out of phase. Its error amplifier (EA) compares FB voltage against a ±1% 1.223V reference and drives ITH to modulate peak inductor current. Slope compensation gain is externally programmable via SLOPE pin (0.625× to 1.66× nominal), and leading-edge blanking time is selectable (180ns/260ns/340ns) via BLANK pin.
Phase relationships are configured by PHASEMODE (0V/float/3.8V), enabling 180°/180°/120° CH1–CH2 alignment and 90°/60°/240° CH1–CLKOUT alignment. The internal PLL allows synchronization to external clocks from 50kHz to 650kHz at SYNC, while FREQ pin sets base frequency with a single resistor. DMAX pin precisely limits duty cycle using a 12× internal clock.

Pinout & Package
Package: 24-lead thermally enhanced TSSOP (FE package), 0.65mm lead pitch, exposed PGND pad soldered to PCB for thermal performance (θJA = 38°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DMAX (Pin 1) | Duty cycle limit control | Directly programs max on-time: SGND = 96%, float = 84%, 3V8 = 75%; precision derived from 12× internal clock. |
| GATE1 / GATE2 (Pins 18/16) | N-MOSFET gate drive outputs | 5V logic-level outputs referenced to PGND; each capable of driving QG > 50nC MOSFETs with low RDS(ON) pull-up/pull-down. |
| SENSE1+/SENSE2+ (Pins 23/13) | Positive current sense inputs | High-side current sensing inputs for peak current mode control; matched threshold minimizes channel imbalance. |
| FB (Pin 8) | Error amplifier inverting input | Connects to resistive divider from VOUT; sets regulated output voltage with ±1% reference accuracy. |
| SYNC (Pin 11) | External clock synchronization input | Accepts 50kHz–650kHz TTL/CMOS clock; rising edge aligns with GATE1 for deterministic multi-phase timing. |
| CLKOUT (Pin 10) | Phase-locked clock output | Drives downstream LTC3862 devices in daisy-chained multi-phase systems; phase relationship controlled by PHASEMODE. |
| PGND (Pin 17 + Exposed Pad) | Power ground return | Must be connected to MOSFET source nodes and INTVCC bypass capacitor; exposed pad requires soldering for thermal integrity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Two-phase interleaved operation | Reduces input/output ripple current by ~70% vs. single-phase, enabling smaller capacitors and inductors in 48V telecom supplies. |
| Programmable slope compensation | SLOPE pin adjusts gain (0.625× to 1.66×) to stabilize current mode control across varying duty cycles and inductor values. |
| Adjustable minimum on-time | BLANK pin selects 180ns/260ns/340ns blanking window to suppress gate-drive-induced noise during MOSFET turn-on. |
| Internal dual-LDO architecture | 5V INTVCC powers gate drivers; 3.8V 3V8 powers analog/digital circuitry - eliminates need for external bias rails and improves PSRR. |
| Multi-phase scalability | SYNC/CLKOUT/PHASEMODE pins enable seamless expansion to 2-, 3-, 4-, 6-, or 12-phase systems without redesigning control loop compensation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost/SEPIC controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3862IFE#TRPBF | Wider operating junction temperature range (–40°C to +125°C); identical pinout, features, and electrical specs. | Required for under-hood automotive or high-ambient industrial deployments where sustained >85°C case temperature occurs. | Select when extended thermal margin is mandatory; otherwise LTC3862EFE#TRPBF suffices for commercial/industrial use. |
| LTC3862-1EFE#TRPBF | Higher INTVCC UVLO (7.5V rising) and different RUN thresholds; designed for standard-threshold MOSFETs, not logic-level. | Used where 10V gate drive is needed for high-VDS MOSFETs in >60V output applications; incompatible with 5V gate drive requirement. | Only choose if replacing standard-threshold MOSFETs; not a functional substitute for LTC3862EFE#TRPBF's logic-level drive architecture. |
Compared with LTC3862IFE#TRPBF, the LTC3862EFE#TRPBF offers identical functionality at lower cost and thermal derating for ambient-limited applications; versus LTC3862-1EFE#TRPBF, it provides optimized 5V gate drive and lower UVLO for logic-level FETs - making it the correct choice for 48V telecom and ADAS boost designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum achievable output voltage using LTC3862EFE#TRPBF in a boost configuration?
The LTC3862EFE#TRPBF itself does not impose a hard upper limit on output voltage; instead, practical maximum VOUT depends on external component ratings (MOSFET VDS, diode PIV, capacitor WV) and stability constraints. In published typical applications, LTC3862EFE#TRPBF achieves 48V output from 12V input at 5A with >94% efficiency. For higher outputs, careful attention to layout, slope compensation, and duty cycle limitation (via DMAX pin) is required to maintain stability and avoid subharmonic oscillation.
Does LTC3862EFE#TRPBF support SEPIC topology, and what modifications are needed versus boost?
Yes, LTC3862EFE#TRPBF supports SEPIC topology per its datasheet description and typical application circuits. Unlike boost, SEPIC requires coupling capacitors between input and output paths and separate inductors for each channel. The controller's current sensing, gate drive, and feedback architecture remain unchanged; only the power stage layout and component selection differ. No pin configuration or firmware changes are needed - the same LTC3862EFE#TRPBF device operates identically in both topologies.
How is thermal performance affected by the exposed pad connection on LTC3862EFE#TRPBF?
The exposed pad of the LTC3862EFE#TRPBF (Pin 25) is electrically and thermally connected to PGND and must be soldered to a PCB copper pour for rated thermal performance. Without proper soldering, θJA degrades from 38°C/W to >60°C/W, risking thermal shutdown above 125°C junction temperature. Analog Devices specifies minimum solder mask opening and thermal via count (≥6 vias, 0.3mm diameter) to ensure reliable heat transfer from die to board in continuous 5A operation.
Can LTC3862EFE#TRPBF synchronize to an external clock while also operating in two-phase interleaved mode?
Yes, LTC3862EFE#TRPBF fully supports simultaneous external synchronization and two-phase interleaving. When SYNC receives an external clock (50kHz–650kHz), the internal PLL locks all internal timing - including both channel clocks and CLKOUT - to that reference. PHASEMODE pin configures the 180° phase offset between GATE1 and GATE2, preserving interleaving while ensuring deterministic alignment to the master clock, essential for EMI reduction in multi-unit systems.
What is the purpose of the 3V8 pin on LTC3862EFE#TRPBF, and can it power external circuitry?
3V8 is the output of an internal 3.8V LDO powered from INTVCC, dedicated solely to powering the LTC3862EFE#TRPBF's internal analog and digital control circuitry. It is not rated for external loads: the datasheet explicitly states "This LDO is not intended to be used as a supply for external circuitry." Bypassing with a 1nF ceramic capacitor to SGND is mandatory for noise immunity, but connecting external ICs risks instability, insufficient current (no spec'd output current), and violation of recommended operating conditions.
