Product details
Overview
LTC3862HFE#PBF from Analog Devices is a two-phase, constant-frequency, peak current mode boost and 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 features internal 5V/3.8V LDOs for gate drive and analog circuitry. It enables high-efficiency 48V telecom power supplies with reduced input/output filtering.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3862HFE#PBF datasheet, LTC3862HFE#PBF pinout, LTC3862HFE#PBF application, or LTC3862HFE#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its –40°C to 150°C automotive-grade junction temperature rating, phase-lockable multi-phase synchronization (2-/3-/4-/6-/12-phase), programmable leading edge blanking, and precise ±1% reference voltage for stable output regulation.
Technical Context
The LTC3862HFE#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 dual cascaded LDO architecture supplies 5V (INTVCC) to gate drivers and 3.8V (3V8) to analog/digital circuitry - both internally regulated and thermally isolated.
Phase relationship is programmable via PHASEMODE (0V/float/3.8V), enabling 120°, 180°, or 180° CH1–CH2 alignment; CLKOUT and SYNC support daisy-chained multi-phase systems up to 12 phases. Internal slope compensation gain (SLOPE pin) and adjustable maximum duty cycle (DMAX pin) allow optimization for stability and wide VIN–VOUT ratios.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 36V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive battery-fed boost applications without external pre-regulation. |
| Switching Frequency | 75kHz to 500kHz (adjustable via FREQ resistor) - enables optimized trade-off between efficiency, size, and EMI in high-power boost converters. |
| Max Duty Cycle | Up to 96% (DMAX = SGND) - allows high step-up ratios (e.g., 12V→48V) while maintaining controllable minimum on-time. |
| Reference Voltage | ±1% accuracy (1.223V typ) - ensures tight output voltage regulation across temperature and load in feedback-controlled systems. |
| Junction Temp Range | –40°C to +150°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade H, suitable for under-hood automotive and high-ambient industrial environments. |
| Gate Drive Voltage | 5V (INTVCC) - directly drives logic-level N-channel MOSFETs without level-shifting, simplifying high-side switch design. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 60mV to 90mV (adjustable via ITH) - provides accurate peak current limiting with <±10mV channel-to-channel matching for balanced phase current sharing. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 24-lead plastic TSSOP (FE package), 0.65mm lead pitch, exposed PGND pad (Pin 25) requiring soldering to PCB for thermal and electrical performance. θJA = 38°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DMAX (Pin 1) | Maximum duty cycle programming | SGND = 96%, float = 84%, 3V8 = 75% - sets hard limit on on-time to prevent instability or transformer saturation in high-ratio boost. |
| GATE1 / GATE2 (Pins 18/16) | N-channel MOSFET gate drivers | 5V outputs referenced to PGND - drive logic-level FETs directly; each rated for –0.3V to 6V absolute max voltage. |
| SENSE1+/SENSE1– / SENSE2+/SENSE2– (Pins 23/22, 13/14) | Current sense differential inputs | Measure source-side sense resistor voltage; trip threshold set by ITH voltage - enables precise per-phase current limiting and sharing. |
| PHASEMODE (Pin 4) | Interleaving phase configuration | Selects CH1–CH2 phase offset: 0V = 180°, float = 180°, 3V8 = 120° - determines ripple cancellation effectiveness and system-level thermal distribution. |
| CLKOUT (Pin 10) | Multi-phase synchronization output | Provides phase-aligned clock signal for daisy-chaining additional LTC3862 controllers - essential for scalable 3-, 4-, 6-, or 12-phase designs. |
| SYNC (Pin 11) | External clock synchronization input | Accepts 50kHz–650kHz external clock - enables EMI reduction via frequency alignment and deterministic timing across multiple converters. |
| INTVCC (Pin 19) | 5V gate driver LDO output | Supplies gate drivers and high-current circuitry; requires ≥4.7µF ceramic bypass to PGND - UVLO at 3.3V rising prevents weak gate drive during startup. |
| 3V8 (Pin 24) | 3.8V analog/digital LDO output | Powers error amplifier, comparators, and logic; requires 1nF ceramic bypass to SGND - electrically isolated from INTVCC and PGND for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Two-phase interleaved operation | Reduces input/output capacitor RMS current by ~30% and cuts peak-to-peak ripple amplitude by >50% vs single-phase, lowering component count and size. |
| Programmable leading edge blanking | Three settings (180ns/260ns/340ns via BLANK pin) suppress false current-sense triggering during MOSFET turn-on, improving light-load stability. |
| Adjustable slope compensation gain | SLOPE pin (SGND/float/3V8) scales internal ramp by 0.625×/1.0×/1.66× - prevents subharmonic oscillation in continuous conduction mode boost/SEPIC. |
| Precision RUN pin with hysteresis | 1.22V enable threshold with 80mV hysteresis (via internal 4.5µA pull-up) - ensures clean, bounce-free startup/shutdown in noisy automotive environments. |
| Internal 5V/3.8V dual-LDO architecture | Eliminates need for external bias rails; INTVCC powers gate drivers (up to 50mA), 3V8 powers analog core - improves layout simplicity and PSRR. |

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#PBF | Same architecture and pinout; rated for –40°C to +125°C (I-grade) instead of +150°C (H-grade). | Not qualified for under-hood automotive use; suitable for industrial control cabinets or telecom equipment with lower ambient limits. | Select when full AEC-Q100 H-grade thermal margin is unnecessary and cost optimization is prioritized. |
| LTC3862HUH#PBF | Identical electrical specs and temperature rating, but in 5mm × 5mm QFN (UH) package with θJA = 44°C/W and exposed thermal pad. | Better thermal performance in space-constrained layouts; requires different PCB footprint and reflow profile vs TSSOP. | Choose for higher power density designs where thermal resistance must be minimized and board area is limited. |
Compared with LTC3862IFE#PBF, the LTC3862HFE#PBF adds 25°C higher junction temperature capability for harsh environments; compared with LTC3862HUH#PBF, it trades slightly higher thermal resistance for easier assembly and legacy TSSOP compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for the LTC3862HFE#PBF?
The LTC3862HFE#PBF is rated for a maximum junction temperature of +150°C and is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive Grade H applications. This specification is guaranteed over the full –40°C to +150°C operating junction temperature range, with thermal derating applied above 125°C to ensure long-term reliability. The FE package has θJA = 38°C/W.
How does the PHASEMODE pin affect channel timing in the LTC3862HFE#PBF?
The PHASEMODE pin on the LTC3862HFE#PBF selects the phase relationship between Channel 1 and Channel 2: 0V yields 180°, floating yields 180°, and 3.8V yields 120°. It also defines CH1-to-CLKOUT phase alignment (90°/60°/240° respectively). This enables flexible ripple cancellation and thermal distribution in multi-phase systems without external timing components.
Can the LTC3862HFE#PBF synchronize to an external clock, and what is its supported frequency range?
Yes, the LTC3862HFE#PBF supports external clock synchronization via the SYNC pin, accepting input frequencies from 50kHz to 650kHz. The internal PLL locks to the external signal, aligning GATE1's rising edge with the SYNC rising edge. This capability enables deterministic EMI reduction and coordinated operation across multiple converters in dense power systems.
What is the purpose of the DMAX pin on the LTC3862HFE#PBF, and how is it configured?
The DMAX pin on the LTC3862HFE#PBF programs the maximum duty cycle: connecting to SGND sets 96%, leaving it floating sets 84%, and connecting to 3.8V sets 75%. This limit is derived from a 12× internal clock and provides precise, temperature-stable control to prevent instability or magnetic core saturation in high-ratio boost applications.
Does the LTC3862HFE#PBF integrate voltage regulation for its internal circuitry?
Yes, the LTC3862HFE#PBF integrates two independent LDO regulators: a 5V INTVCC LDO powered from VIN for gate drivers (with 3.3V UVLO), and a 3.8V 3V8 LDO powered from INTVCC for analog/digital control circuitry. Both require dedicated ceramic bypass capacitors (4.7µF for INTVCC to PGND; 1nF for 3V8 to SGND) placed near their respective pins.
