Product details
Overview
LTC3862HGN-1#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a two-phase, constant-frequency, peak current mode boost and SEPIC DC/DC controller driving N-channel MOSFETs for high-voltage output power conversion. It operates from 8.5V to 36V input, delivers up to 96% duty cycle, supports 75kHz–500kHz adjustable switching frequency, and features internal 10V INTVCC and 3.8V LDOs. It is used in automotive and industrial telecom power supplies requiring stable high-voltage generation (e.g., 72V bus from 24V source).
For engineers reviewing the LTC3862HGN-1#PBF datasheet, LTC3862HGN-1#PBF pinout, LTC3862HGN-1#PBF application, or LTC3862HGN-1#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its H-grade (–40°C to 150°C junction), 24-lead narrow SSOP package, dual-phase interleaving capability, programmable phase relationship via PHASEMODE, and precise ±1% reference voltage with 1.223V FB threshold.
Technical Context
The LTC3862HGN-1#PBF implements a fixed-frequency, two-phase peak current mode control architecture with 180° channel interleaving to reduce input/output ripple and filter component stress. Its error amplifier compares FB against a 1.223V reference and drives ITH to modulate peak inductor current per cycle.
It integrates cascaded LDOs: a 10V INTVCC regulator (7.5V UVLO rising, 50mA max output) powers gate drivers, while a 3.8V LDO (powered from INTVCC) supplies analog/digital circuitry. Phase synchronization uses an internal PLL with SYNC/CLKOUT pins supporting 2-, 3-, 4-, 6-, or 12-phase expansion.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 8.5V to 36V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive battery-fed systems without pre-regulation. |
| 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% - achieved when DMAX tied to SGND; allows high step-up ratios (e.g., 24V → 72V) with minimal dropout loss. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.223V ±1% - high-precision FB threshold ensures accurate output voltage regulation across temperature and load. |
| INTVCC LDO | 10.0V ±0.5V - powers gate drivers directly; includes under-voltage lockout (7.5V rising, 7.0V falling) for MOSFET protection. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +150°C (H-grade) - qualified for under-hood automotive and high-ambient industrial environments. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 65mV to 90mV - programmable via SLOPE pin; enables stable operation with low-value sense resistors and high-side sensing. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 24-lead narrow plastic SSOP (GN24), 0.25mm lead pitch, exposed pad connected to PGND for thermal and electrical integrity. θJA = 85°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DMAX (Pin 1) | Duty cycle limit control | Tying to SGND sets max duty cycle to 96%; floating yields 84%; tying to 3V8 yields 75% - critical for preventing transformer saturation or overvoltage during transients. |
| GATE1 / GATE2 (Pins 18, 16) | N-channel MOSFET gate drivers | 10V gate drive referenced to PGND - sufficient for high-voltage Si or SiC MOSFETs; RDS(ON) = 3Ω pull-up / 0.9Ω pull-down ensures fast edge rates. |
| SENSE1+/SENSE2+ (Pins 23, 13) | Positive current sense inputs | Accept differential voltage across low-side sense resistors; trip threshold programmable via ITH and SLOPE - enables accurate peak current limiting per phase. |
| PHASEMODE (Pin 4) | Interleaving configuration | Selects CH1–CH2 phase offset: 180° (floating), 120° (tied to 3V8), or 180° (tied to SGND); determines ripple cancellation effectiveness in multi-phase designs. |
| SYNC / CLKOUT (Pins 11, 10) | PLL synchronization interface | Accepts 50kHz–650kHz external clock on SYNC; outputs phase-aligned clock on CLKOUT - enables deterministic timing across multiple controllers in scalable power systems. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Two-phase interleaved operation | Reduces input/output capacitor RMS current by ~30% and cuts EMI peak amplitude - lowers BOM cost and simplifies filtering in high-power boost converters. |
| Programmable leading-edge blanking | Adjustable minimum on-time (210ns–375ns via BLANK pin) - suppresses gate-drive-induced noise spikes during MOSFET turn-on, improving current-sense reliability. |
| Internal 10V LDO with UVLO | Ensures robust gate drive even during VIN brownouts; 7.5V/7.0V hysteresis prevents oscillation near UVLO threshold - critical for automotive cold-crank immunity. |
| Adjustable slope compensation gain | SLOPE pin selects normalized gain of 0.625×, 1.0×, or 1.66× - stabilizes current-mode control across wide duty cycles and inductance variations. |
| Precision RUN pin threshold | 1.22V enable threshold with 80mV hysteresis - enables clean, noise-immune power sequencing and system-level enable/disable control. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3862IGN-1#PBF | I-grade (–40°C to 125°C), same pinout and electrical specs except lower max junction temp. | Suitable for non-under-hood industrial use where ambient ≤125°C; lacks H-grade thermal margin. | Select when full 150°C operation is unnecessary and cost sensitivity favors I-grade. |
| LTC3862HUH-1#PBF | Same H-grade temp range but in 5mm × 5mm QFN (UH24) package with θJA = 44°C/W vs. GN24's 85°C/W. | Better thermal performance in space-constrained layouts; requires different PCB footprint and reflow profile. | Choose for higher power density or improved thermal headroom; verify layout compatibility with QFN land pattern. |
Compared with LTC3862IGN-1#PBF, the LTC3862HGN-1#PBF adds 25°C junction margin for sustained high-temp operation; compared with LTC3862HUH-1#PBF, it trades thermal performance for legacy SSOP footprint compatibility and lower assembly cost in through-hole or mixed-technology boards.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for the LTC3862HGN-1#PBF?
The LTC3862HGN-1#PBF is rated for an operating junction temperature range of –40°C to +150°C (H-grade). This specification is guaranteed across the full range, making it suitable for under-hood automotive and high-ambient industrial environments. Thermal design must ensure that power dissipation and board layout keep TJ within this limit, especially given its 85°C/W θJA in the GN24 SSOP package.
How does the PHASEMODE pin affect channel timing in the LTC3862HGN-1#PBF?
The PHASEMODE pin on the LTC3862HGN-1#PBF configures the phase relationship between Channel 1 and Channel 2 gate signals: floating or tied to SGND yields 180° offset, while tied to 3V8 yields 120° offset. It also sets CH1-to-CLKOUT phase (90°, 60°, or 240°). This enables optimized ripple cancellation and scalable multi-phase synchronization without external timing components.
Can the LTC3862HGN-1#PBF be used in SEPIC topology, and what design considerations apply?
Yes, the LTC3862HGN-1#PBF supports SEPIC operation using its two-phase current-mode architecture. Key considerations include connecting coupled inductors with correct polarity, configuring feedback to regulate VOUT instead of boost output, and ensuring slope compensation matches the SEPIC duty cycle range. The device's adjustable DMAX and SLOPE pins allow fine-tuning for stability across varying input/output ratios.
What is the purpose of the BLANK pin on the LTC3862HGN-1#PBF, and how does it impact minimum on-time?
The BLANK pin on the LTC3862HGN-1#PBF controls leading-edge blanking duration to suppress noise during MOSFET turn-on. Tying BLANK to SGND sets minimum on-time to 210ns, floating yields 290ns, and tying to 3V8 yields 375ns. This adjustment prevents false current-sense triggering and ensures reliable operation with fast-switching high-voltage MOSFETs or SiC devices.
Does the LTC3862HGN-1#PBF require external compensation, and where is the compensation network connected?
Yes, the LTC3862HGN-1#PBF requires external compensation on the ITH pin to stabilize the current-mode control loop. A Type II or Type III network (typically R-C-RC or R-C-CC) is connected between ITH and SGND. Compensation design depends on output filter characteristics, switching frequency, and desired bandwidth; Linear Technology Application Note AN140 provides detailed methodology specific to the LTC3862HGN-1#PBF.
