Product details
Overview
LTC3862EUH#PBF 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 LTC3862EUH#PBF datasheet, LTC3862EUH#PBF pinout, LTC3862EUH#PBF application, or LTC3862EUH#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include multi-phase synchronization capability (SYNC/CLKOUT/PHASEMODE), programmable leading-edge blanking (BLANK), slope compensation gain adjustment (SLOPE), ±1% reference accuracy, and thermal performance in the 5mm × 5mm QFN package.
Technical Context
The LTC3862EUH#PBF implements fixed-frequency peak current mode control across two interleaved channels operating 180° out of phase, reducing input/output ripple and filter component stress. Its error amplifier (EA) compares FB voltage against a 1.223V internal reference and drives ITH to modulate peak inductor current per channel.
Phase synchronization uses an internal PLL with SYNC input (50kHz–650kHz range) and CLKOUT output; PHASEMODE pin selects 120°, 180°, or 240° inter-channel timing. The DMAX pin sets maximum duty cycle (75%, 84%, or 96%) via precise internal 12× clock derivation, while BLANK and SLOPE pins configure minimum on-time (180–340ns) and slope compensation gain (0.625–1.66× normalized).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 4V to 36V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive battery-fed boost applications. |
| Switching Frequency | 75kHz to 500kHz - set by single external resistor on FREQ pin; enables optimization of size vs. efficiency trade-offs. |
| Max Duty Cycle | Up to 96% - configurable via DMAX pin; allows high step-up ratios (e.g., 12V→48V) without requiring excessive turns ratio. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.223V ±1% - high-accuracy FB reference ensures stable output regulation under load and line transients. |
| Gate Drive | 5V @ PGND - logic-level compatible for low-RDS(on) N-MOSFETs; reduces conduction losses in high-current boost stages. |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 44°C/W - measured in 5mm × 5mm QFN (UH) package; enables >5A output at 85°C ambient with proper PCB copper area. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - commercial-grade temperature range suitable for telecom and industrial power systems. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 24-lead (5mm × 5mm) plastic QFN with 0.65mm lead pitch and exposed PGND pad (Pin 25). Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB ground for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DMAX (Pin 1) | Maximum duty cycle programming | Connect to SGND for 96%, float for 84%, or 3V8 for 75% - enables precise overvoltage protection and transformer saturation margining. |
| GATE1/GATE2 (Pins 18/16) | N-MOSFET gate drive outputs | 5V CMOS outputs referenced to PGND - directly drive logic-level MOSFETs without level-shifting; RDS(on) = 2.1Ω pull-up / 0.7Ω pull-down. |
| SENSE1+/SENSE2+ (Pins 23/13) | Current sense positive inputs | Differential inputs to peak current comparators - interface with low-side sense resistors (e.g., 6mΩ) for accurate per-phase current limiting. |
| FB (Pin 8) | Error amplifier inverting input | Connects to resistive divider from VOUT - sets regulated output voltage (e.g., 48V) with ±1% accuracy over temperature and line. |
| SYNC (Pin 11) | PLL synchronization input | Accepts 50–650kHz external clock - aligns GATE1 rising edge to SYNC rising edge; enables deterministic multi-phase interleaving. |
| CLKOUT (Pin 10) | Phase-locked clock output | Drives SYNC input of downstream LTC3862 - enables daisy-chained 2-, 3-, 4-, 6-, or 12-phase operation without external timing components. |
| INTVCC (Pin 19) | 5V gate driver LDO output | Bypass with ≥4.7µF ceramic to PGND - powers gate drivers; UVLO threshold 3.3V (rising) prevents weak turn-on during brownout. |
| 3V8 (Pin 24) | 3.8V analog/digital LDO output | Bypass with 1nF ceramic to SGND - powers internal EA, oscillators, and logic; isolated from INTVCC to prevent noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Two-phase interleaved architecture | Reduces input/output capacitor RMS current by ~70% versus single-phase, enabling smaller, lower-cost bulk capacitance. |
| Programmable leading-edge blanking (BLANK) | Selects 180ns (SGND), 260ns (float), or 340ns (3V8) blanking - suppresses gate-drive-induced current-sense noise during MOSFET turn-on. |
| Adjustable slope compensation (SLOPE) | Gain scaling of 0.625× (SGND), 1.0× (float), or 1.66× (3V8) - stabilizes current mode control across wide duty-cycle and inductance ranges. |
| Precision RUN pin with hysteresis | 1.22V enable threshold with 80mV hysteresis - provides clean, noise-immune startup/shutdown sequencing without external RC networks. |
| Internal 5V/3.8V cascaded LDOs | Eliminates need for external bias rails - INTVCC powers gate drivers; 3V8 powers sensitive analog circuitry, minimizing supply interaction. |

FAQ
What is the maximum achievable output voltage using LTC3862EUH#PBF in a boost configuration?
The LTC3862EUH#PBF itself does not impose a hard upper limit on output voltage; instead, practical limits derive from external component ratings and stability constraints. With its 96% max duty cycle and 36V maximum VIN, the LTC3862EUH#PBF can reliably generate outputs up to 48V (e.g., 12V→48V at 75% duty) in well-designed boost stages using appropriately rated MOSFETs, diodes, and output capacitors. Higher voltages require careful attention to layout, snubbing, and slope compensation tuning to maintain loop stability.
Does LTC3862EUH#PBF support synchronization to an external clock, and what is the valid frequency range?
Yes, the LTC3862EUH#PBF supports external clock synchronization via its SYNC pin, which accepts input frequencies from 50kHz to 650kHz. The internal PLL locks the switching frequency to the external clock, aligning the rising edge of GATE1 with the SYNC rising edge. This capability enables deterministic multi-phase interleaving across multiple LTC3862EUH#PBF devices in high-current systems, reducing input/output ripple and improving EMI performance.
How is the switching frequency set on LTC3862EUH#PBF, and what tolerance should be expected?
The switching frequency of the LTC3862EUH#PBF is set using a single resistor (RFREQ) connected between the FREQ pin and SGND. The nominal frequency is calculated as fOSC ≈ 106/RFREQ(kΩ) kHz, covering 75kHz to 500kHz. At 25°C with RFREQ = 45.6kΩ, typical frequency is 300kHz ±2%. Over temperature and process variation, frequency drift remains within ±10% across the full operating range, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table.
Can LTC3862EUH#PBF drive standard-threshold MOSFETs, or is it limited to logic-level devices?
The LTC3862EUH#PBF is optimized for logic-level N-channel MOSFETs, providing 5V gate drive referenced to PGND. While it can partially enhance standard-threshold MOSFETs (e.g., VGS(th) = 3V), full enhancement and reliable operation require VGS ≥ 8V–10V - beyond the LTC3862EUH#PBF's 5V capability. For standard-threshold devices, Analog Devices recommends the LTC3862-1 variant, which features a 10V gate drive and higher INTVCC UVLO thresholds tailored for higher-VGS operation.
What is the purpose of the 3V8 pin on LTC3862EUH#PBF, and how must it be decoupled?
The 3V8 pin on the LTC3862EUH#PBF is the output of an internal 3.8V LDO powered from INTVCC, supplying low-noise power to internal analog and digital circuitry (error amplifier, oscillators, logic). It must be decoupled with a 1nF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor placed directly between 3V8 and SGND, as close as possible to the IC. This capacitor suppresses high-frequency noise and ensures stable reference and control loop operation; external loads on 3V8 are not supported.
