Product details
Overview
LTC3862HGN#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 programmable switching frequency, and features internal 5V/3.8V LDOs for gate drive and analog circuitry. It is used in high-efficiency automotive power supplies generating stable 48V outputs from 12V or 24V battery rails.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3862HGN#PBF datasheet, LTC3862HGN#PBF pinout, LTC3862HGN#PBF application, or LTC3862HGN#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its H-grade (–40°C to 150°C) thermal rating, 24-lead narrow SSOP package, dual-channel phase control via PHASEMODE/SYNC/CLKOUT, and precision ±1% reference with programmable leading edge blanking and slope compensation.
Technical Context
The LTC3862HGN#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 output (ITH) directly sets current comparator trip thresholds, while internal 5V (INTVCC) and 3.8V (3V8) LDOs independently power gate drivers and low-voltage analog/digital circuitry.
Phase synchronization is achieved via PLL-based SYNC input (50kHz–650kHz), CLKOUT daisy-chaining, and PHASEMODE pin programming for 2-, 3-, 4-, 6-, or 12-phase operation. DMAX, SLOPE, and BLANK pins enable precise tuning of maximum duty cycle (75–96%), slope compensation gain (0.625–1.66×), and minimum on-time (180–340ns).

Pinout & Package
Package: 24-lead narrow plastic SSOP (GN24), 0.025" lead pitch, exposed pad not present (unlike QFN/TSSOP variants). Thermal resistance θJA = 85°C/W.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DMAX (Pin 1) | Duty cycle limit control | SGND = 96%, float = 84%, 3V8 = 75% - sets hard upper bound on conduction time for stability and MOSFET SOA protection. |
| PHASEMODE (Pin 4) | Interleaving configuration | SGND/float/3V8 selects 180°/180°/120° CH1–CH2 phase offset - enables optimal ripple cancellation or multi-phase scaling. |
| GATE1/GATE2 (Pins 16,18) | N-channel MOSFET drivers | 5V gate drive referenced to PGND - supports fast turn-on/off of logic-level FETs with integrated 0.7Ω pull-down for robust dead-time control. |
| SENSE1+/SENSE2+ (Pins 23,13) | Current sense inputs | Differential inputs to peak current comparators - referenced to respective SENSE– pins; matched threshold ≤ ±10mV ensures balanced channel current sharing. |
| SYNC (Pin 11) | PLL synchronization input | Accepts 50–650kHz external clock - aligns GATE1 rising edge to SYNC rising edge for deterministic timing in multi-controller systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3862HUH#PBF | Same silicon, 5mm × 5mm QFN-24 package with exposed PGND pad; θJA = 44°C/W vs 85°C/W for SSOP. | Better thermal performance required in space-constrained, high-power-density layouts where PCB copper area for heat spreading is limited. | Select when junction temperature margin is critical and board layout allows QFN soldering; requires different footprint and reflow profile. |
| LTC3862HFE#PBF | Same silicon, 24-lead TSSOP package; θJA = 38°C/W; exposed PGND pad; higher pin pitch (0.65mm) than SSOP (0.025"). | Preferred for manual assembly or legacy TSSOP-compatible production lines; offers better thermal dissipation than SSOP but less than QFN. | Select when balancing thermal needs with assembly process compatibility and existing TSSOP tooling. |

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for the LTC3862HGN#PBF?
The LTC3862HGN#PBF is rated for operation up to +150°C junction temperature (H-grade). Its absolute maximum rating is 150°C, and thermal shutdown activates above this threshold. For reliable long-term operation, design should maintain TJ ≤ 140°C using θJA = 85°C/W and appropriate PCB copper area. The LTC3862HGN#PBF datasheet specifies derating above 125°C to preserve lifetime.
How does the PHASEMODE pin affect channel timing in the LTC3862HGN#PBF?
The PHASEMODE pin on the LTC3862HGN#PBF configures the phase relationship between CH1 and CH2 gate signals: SGND or floating sets 180° offset, while 3V8 sets 120° offset. This directly determines ripple cancellation effectiveness and current sharing in multi-phase configurations. The LTC3862HGN#PBF also uses PHASEMODE to define CH1-to-CLKOUT phase alignment (90°, 60°, or 240°), enabling precise daisy-chained synchronization.
Can the LTC3862HGN#PBF be used in SEPIC topology, and what design considerations apply?
Yes, the LTC3862HGN#PBF supports SEPIC operation per its datasheet description and typical application circuits. Key considerations include using coupled inductors or separate L1/L2 with proper polarity, ensuring the SENSE+ and SENSE– connections monitor switch-node current, and verifying stability with slope compensation adjusted via the SLOPE pin. The LTC3862HGN#PBF's current-mode architecture and programmable blanking make it well-suited for SEPIC's discontinuous conduction modes.
What is the purpose of the 3V8 pin on the LTC3862HGN#PBF, and how must it be decoupled?
The 3V8 pin on the LTC3862HGN#PBF is the output of an internal LDO powered from INTVCC, supplying 3.8V to low-voltage analog and digital circuitry. It must be decoupled with a 1nF X5R ceramic capacitor placed directly between 3V8 and SGND, as close as possible to the IC. This capacitor stabilizes the reference and error amplifier rails; omitting it risks noise-induced regulation errors or instability in the LTC3862HGN#PBF control loop.
Does the LTC3862HGN#PBF support pulse-skipping mode, and how is it enabled?
Yes, the LTC3862HGN#PBF supports pulse-skipping mode at light loads. It activates automatically when the ITH pin voltage falls below 0.275V (with 25mV hysteresis), reducing switching frequency to maintain regulation while minimizing quiescent current. No external enable signal is required-the LTC3862HGN#PBF enters and exits this mode seamlessly based on load demand and internal error amplifier output.
