Product details
Overview
LTC3862HGN-2#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a two-phase, constant-frequency, peak current mode boost/SEPIC DC/DC controller driving external N-channel MOSFETs. It operates from 5.5V to 36V input, delivers up to 80V output, supports 75kHz–500kHz adjustable switching frequency, and features internal 10V/3.8V LDOs, programmable duty cycle (75–96%), and 180° phase shift for reduced input/output ripple - used in high-voltage telecom power supplies and industrial boost converters.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3862HGN-2#PBF datasheet, LTC3862HGN-2#PBF pinout, LTC3862HGN-2#PBF application, or LTC3862HGN-2#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its H-grade (–40°C to 150°C) thermal rating, 24-lead narrow SSOP package with exposed PGND pad, dual-channel current sensing with ±7mV matching, and phase-lockable SYNC/CLKOUT architecture enabling 2-/3-/4-/6-/12-phase scaling.
Technical Context
The LTC3862HGN-2#PBF implements fixed-frequency peak current mode control with two independent channels operating 180° out-of-phase. Its error amplifier compares FB voltage against a ±1% 1.223V reference and drives ITH to modulate peak inductor current; slope compensation gain is programmable via SLOPE pin (0.625× to 1.66× nominal).
It integrates cascaded LDOs: a 10V INTVCC regulator (4.4V UVLO rising, 3.9V falling) powers gate drivers, and a 3.8V 3V8 LDO supplies analog/digital circuitry. Phase relationships are controlled by PHASEMODE (0V/float/3V8), while DMAX sets max duty cycle (75%/84%/96%) and BLANK configures minimum on-time (210/290/375ns).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Topology | Two-phase boost or SEPIC controller - enables interleaved operation to halve input/output capacitor RMS current and reduce EMI filtering requirements. |
| Input Voltage Range | 5.5V to 36V - supports wide-range industrial and telecom inputs including 12V, 24V, and 32V bus systems. |
| Switching Frequency | 75kHz to 500kHz (resistor-programmable) + 50kHz–650kHz PLL-sync range - allows noise-sensitive system clock alignment and EMI optimization. |
| Max Duty Cycle | 75% / 84% / 96% (via DMAX pin at 3V8 / float / SGND) - enables precise control of high-step-up ratios (e.g., 12V→80V) without instability. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 65mV to 85mV (typ. 75mV), ±7mV CH1–CH2 matching - ensures accurate current balancing across phases in multi-phase designs. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +150°C (H-grade) - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial motor drives, and high-ambient telecom rectifiers. |
| Reference Accuracy | ±1% over temperature - guarantees tight output voltage regulation (e.g., 80V ±0.8V) without external trimming. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 24-lead narrow plastic SSOP (GN24), 0.25-inch lead pitch, exposed PGND pad (Pin 25) requiring solder connection to PCB ground for thermal and electrical performance (θJA = 85°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DMAX (Pin 1) | Maximum duty cycle programming | Setting to SGND enables 96% max duty cycle for highest step-up ratio applications; float yields 84%, 3V8 yields 75% for improved stability margin. |
| PHASEMODE (Pin 4) | Inter-channel phase configuration | Float or 3V8 selects 180° CH1–CH2 phase shift; SGND selects 120° - critical for 3-phase extension using CLKOUT daisy-chaining. |
| BLANK (Pin 3) | Minimum on-time control | SGND = 210ns (supports high-frequency/high-VIN designs); float = 290ns (default); 3V8 = 375ns (improves light-load stability). |
| SENSE1+/SENSE2+ (Pins 23/13) | Positive current sense inputs | Connect to high-side source of each N-MOSFET; enable per-phase current limiting and accurate current-mode control with <±7mV matching. |
| PGND (Pin 17 + Exposed Pad Pin 25) | Power ground return | Mandatory low-impedance connection to MOSFET source nodes and INTVCC bypass capacitors - separates power and signal grounds to prevent noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Two-phase interleaved operation | Reduces input/output capacitor RMS current by ~70% vs single-phase, enabling smaller, lower-cost bulk capacitance in high-power boost converters. |
| Programmable slope compensation | SLOPE pin adjusts gain (0.625× to 1.66×) to stabilize current mode control across wide duty cycles and inductance variations - prevents subharmonic oscillation. |
| Internal 10V/3.8V dual-LDO system | Eliminates need for external bias rails; 10V INTVCC drives logic-level or 6VGSS MOSFETs directly; 3.8V 3V8 powers precision analog blocks with dedicated 1nF bypass. |
| H-grade temperature qualification | Guaranteed operation from –40°C to +150°C junction - supports placement near heat sources (e.g., power inductors, transformers) in industrial and automotive environments. |
| SYNC/CLKOUT multi-phase expansion | Enables seamless scaling to 3-, 4-, 6-, or 12-phase systems using daisy-chained CLKOUT outputs and PHASEMODE-configured phase offsets - no external timing IC required. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost/SEPIC controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3862IGN-2#PBF | I-grade (–40°C to +125°C), same pinout and electrical specs | Lower max junction temperature rating - suitable for non-under-hood automotive or industrial enclosures with active cooling. | Select when thermal margin exists and cost sensitivity favors standard grade over H-grade. |
| LTC3862HUH-2#PBF | Same H-grade temp range but in 5mm × 5mm QFN (UH24) with θJA = 44°C/W | Superior thermal performance and smaller footprint - requires different PCB layout and reflow profile vs SSOP. | Choose for space-constrained, high-power-density designs where thermal resistance must be minimized below 60°C/W. |
Compared with LTC3862IGN-2#PBF, the LTC3862HGN-2#PBF adds 25°C higher junction tolerance for passive-cooled deployments; versus LTC3862HUH-2#PBF, it trades thermal efficiency for legacy SSOP compatibility and simplified assembly in through-hole or mixed-technology boards.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage achievable with the LTC3862HGN-2#PBF in a boost configuration?
The LTC3862HGN-2#PBF itself does not impose a hard upper limit on output voltage; instead, it depends on external component ratings and layout. The typical application shown in the datasheet achieves 80V output with 7A load. With appropriately rated MOSFETs (e.g., 100V VDSS), diodes, and output capacitors, designs exceeding 100V are feasible - though duty cycle constraints (max 96%) and minimum on-time (210ns) must be verified for stability at extreme step-up ratios.
Does the LTC3862HGN-2#PBF support SEPIC topology, and what modifications are needed versus boost?
Yes, the LTC3862HGN-2#PBF supports SEPIC operation using the same pin connections as boost mode. The key difference is in the power stage: replace the boost diode with a second inductor and add a coupling capacitor between the switch node and output. The controller's current sensing, gate drive, and feedback remain identical - only the external magnetics and capacitor network change to provide non-inverting conversion with inherent input-output isolation.
How does the PHASEMODE pin affect synchronization when multiple LTC3862HGN-2#PBF devices are used?
When multiple LTC3862HGN-2#PBF controllers are daisy-chained, the PHASEMODE pin determines relative phase alignment. With PHASEMODE tied to SGND, CH1 and CH2 operate 120° apart - enabling three-phase operation when CLKOUT from one device drives SYNC of the next. This allows precise 120° or 90° offsets across up to 12 phases without external phase-shift circuits or timing ICs.
What is the purpose of the 3V8 pin, and can it power external circuitry?
The 3V8 pin is the output of an internal LDO powered from INTVCC, providing a regulated 3.8V supply exclusively for the LTC3862HGN-2#PBF's internal analog and digital circuitry. It is not rated to drive external loads - the datasheet explicitly states it "is not intended to be used as a supply for external circuitry." External circuits requiring 3.3V or 3.8V should use a dedicated regulator to avoid noise coupling and regulation errors.
Can the LTC3862HGN-2#PBF be used with logic-level MOSFETs, and what gate drive voltage does it provide?
The LTC3862HGN-2#PBF provides a 10V gate drive (INTVCC) referenced to PGND, optimized for MOSFETs rated at 6V VGS. While it can drive many logic-level devices, the 10V output may exceed the absolute maximum VGS rating of some ultra-low-threshold MOSFETs (e.g., those rated for 5V max). Always verify VGS(max) ≥ 10V or use a level-shifting gate driver if required - the controller itself does not regulate or clamp gate voltage.
