Product details
Overview
LTC3862HFE-2#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a two-phase, constant-frequency, peak current mode boost/SEPIC DC/DC controller driving 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 programmable switching frequency, and features 10V INTVCC LDO with 4.4V UVLO rising threshold - optimized for automotive and industrial 48V-to-60V+ power systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3862HFE-2#PBF datasheet, LTC3862HFE-2#PBF pinout, LTC3862HFE-2#PBF application, or LTC3862HFE-2#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its H-grade (–40°C to +150°C) thermal rating, 24-pin TSSOP package with exposed PGND pad, dual-channel phase control via PHASEMODE, and precise 96% max duty cycle programming at DMAX = SGND.
Technical Context
The LTC3862HFE-2#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 internal architecture includes cascaded LDOs: a 10V INTVCC regulator powering gate drivers and a 3.8V LDO supplying analog/digital circuitry, both thermally isolated and independently bypassed.
Phase synchronization is achieved via PLL-based SYNC input (50kHz–650kHz), CLKOUT daisy-chaining, and PHASEMODE-selectable channel relationships (120°/180°). Slope compensation gain (via SLOPE pin), leading edge blanking (BLANK pin), and adjustable maximum duty cycle (DMAX pin) provide robust stability across wide VIN/VOUT and load ranges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 5.5V to 36V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive battery-supplied systems without pre-regulation. |
| Switching Frequency | 75kHz to 500kHz (resistor-programmable) - enables optimization of efficiency vs. size for high-voltage boost inductors and capacitors. |
| INTVCC UVLO Threshold | Rising: 4.4V, Falling: 3.9V - ensures reliable gate drive enable/disable for 6V-VGS-rated high-voltage MOSFETs. |
| Max Duty Cycle | 96% (DMAX = SGND), 84% (floating), 75% (DMAX = 3V8) - supports high step-up ratios (e.g., 12V→80V) while maintaining timing precision. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 65mV to 85mV (temperature- and duty-cycle-dependent) - sets accurate peak current limit with ±7mV CH1–CH2 matching for balanced phase current sharing. |
| Junction Temp Range | –40°C to +150°C (H-grade) - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial motor drives, and high-ambient telecom rectifiers. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.223V ±1% (E/I/H grades) - provides stable feedback accuracy for precise VOUT regulation across temperature and line variations. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 24-lead plastic TSSOP (FE24) with exposed PGND pad (Pin 25), θJA = 38°C/W. Exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DMAX (Pin 1) | Maximum duty cycle programming | SGND = 96%, floating = 84%, 3V8 = 75% - enables precise control of voltage conversion ratio and minimum off-time. |
| PHASEMODE (Pin 4) | Interleaved phase relationship selector | SGND/floating/3V8 configures CH1–CH2 as 180°/180°/120° and CH1–CLKOUT as 90°/60°/240° - critical for multi-phase scalability. |
| GATE1/GATE2 (Pins 18/16) | N-channel MOSFET gate drivers | 10V rail-referenced outputs with 3Ω pull-up / 0.9Ω pull-down - directly drives high-Qg MOSFETs without external buffers. |
| SENSE1+/SENSE2+ (Pins 23/13) | Positive current sense inputs | Differential inputs to peak current comparators - used with low-value sense resistors (e.g., 3.3mΩ) for accurate per-phase current limiting. |
| PGND (Pin 17 + Exposed Pad 25) | Power ground return | Electrically isolated from SGND; must connect to MOSFET source nodes and INTVCC capacitor negative terminal - essential for noise immunity and thermal dissipation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Two-phase interleaved operation | Reduces input/output RMS current by ~30%, enabling smaller input capacitors and lower ESR output caps in 80V boost designs. |
| Programmable slope compensation (SLOPE pin) | Floating = 1.0×, SGND = 0.625×, 3V8 = 1.66× normalized gain - stabilizes current mode control across varying duty cycles and inductor values. |
| Adjustable leading edge blanking (BLANK pin) | 210ns (BLANK = SGND), 290ns (floating), 375ns (BLANK = 3V8) - suppresses switch-node noise during MOSFET turn-on without compromising minimum on-time. |
| Internal 10V/3.8V dual-LDO architecture | Eliminates need for external bias rails; INTVCC powers gate drivers, 3V8 powers error amp/PLL/oscillator - improves system integration and startup reliability. |
| SYNC/CLKOUT for multi-phase expansion | Supports 2-, 3-, 4-, 6-, or 12-phase configurations using daisy-chained CLKOUT and synchronized PLL - scalable for >100A high-power supplies. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC3862HFE-2#PBF?
The LTC3862HFE-2#PBF is rated for a junction temperature range of –40°C to +150°C, making it suitable for under-hood automotive applications and high-ambient industrial environments. This H-grade qualification is verified per manufacturer specifications and includes guaranteed performance across the full range, not just design correlation.
How does the DMAX pin affect duty cycle in the LTC3862HFE-2#PBF?
The DMAX pin on the LTC3862HFE-2#PBF programs the maximum duty cycle: connecting it to SGND yields 96%, leaving it floating gives 84%, and tying it to 3V8 sets 75%. This setting is derived from an internal 12× clock and remains highly precise across temperature and line variations - critical for stable high-ratio boost operation in the LTC3862HFE-2#PBF.
Can the LTC3862HFE-2#PBF synchronize to an external clock?
Yes, the LTC3862HFE-2#PBF supports PLL-based synchronization via its SYNC pin, accepting external clocks from 50kHz to 650kHz. The rising edge of SYNC aligns with GATE1's rising edge in closed-loop operation, enabling precise multi-phase alignment across multiple LTC3862HFE-2#PBF controllers in stacked or distributed power architectures.
What is the purpose of the exposed pad on the LTC3862HFE-2#PBF package?
The exposed pad (Pin 25) on the LTC3862HFE-2#PBF is electrically connected to PGND and must be soldered to the PCB ground plane. It serves dual functions: lowering thermal resistance (θJA = 38°C/W) and providing low-inductance power ground return for gate drivers and high-current sense paths - both essential for stable operation and EMI control in the LTC3862HFE-2#PBF.
Does the LTC3862HFE-2#PBF require external components for gate driving?
No, the LTC3862HFE-2#PBF integrates 10V gate drivers on GATE1 and GATE2 with 3Ω pull-up and 0.9Ω pull-down strength, capable of directly driving N-channel MOSFETs with QG up to ~50nC. For higher QG devices, increasing the INTVCC bypass capacitance to ≥10µF is recommended - no external driver ICs are needed in standard implementations of the LTC3862HFE-2#PBF.
