Product details
Overview
LTC3862HUH#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 targets high-efficiency automotive and industrial boost power supplies delivering stable 48V outputs.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3862HUH#PBF datasheet, LTC3862HUH#PBF pinout, LTC3862HUH#PBF application, or LTC3862HUH#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include phase synchronization capability (SYNC/CLKOUT/PHASEMODE), programmable leading-edge blanking (BLANK), slope compensation gain control (SLOPE), multi-phase scalability (2-/3-/4-/6-/12-phase), and AEC-Q100 qualification for under-hood automotive use.
Technical Context
The LTC3862HUH#PBF implements a fixed-frequency, two-phase interleaved peak current mode architecture with 180° channel phase shift, reducing input/output ripple and filter component stress. Its dual-channel design uses independent current sense paths (SENSE1±/SENSE2±) with ±10mV matching and programmable ITH-based trip threshold control.
It integrates cascaded PMOS LDOs: a 5V INTVCC regulator (3.3V UVLO rising, 50mA RMS output) for gate drivers and a 3.8V 3V8 regulator (bypassed with 1nF) for analog/digital circuitry. Phase-lock loop (PLL) synchronization via SYNC input (50–650kHz range) and CLKOUT daisy-chaining enables precise multi-phase coordination without external timing components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 4V to 36V - supports wide-input automotive battery systems (cold-crank to load-dump conditions). |
| Max Duty Cycle | Up to 96% - enables high step-up ratios (e.g., 12V→48V) with minimal conduction loss. |
| Switching Frequency | 75kHz to 500kHz (resistor-programmable) - balances efficiency vs. size for inductors/capacitors. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 65mV to 90mV (adjustable via ITH) - sets precise peak inductor current limit with ±10mV CH1/CH2 matching. |
| Reference Voltage | ±1% accuracy at 1.223V - ensures tight output voltage regulation (e.g., 48V ±0.48V) across temperature. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +150°C junction - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade H for under-hood automotive deployment. |
| Package | 24-lead 5mm × 5mm QFN (UH) - thermally enhanced (θJA = 44°C/W) with exposed PGND pad for PCB heat sinking. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 24-lead (5mm × 5mm) plastic QFN with 0.65mm lead pitch and exposed thermal pad (Pin 25 = PGND). Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB ground for rated thermal performance (θJA = 44°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DMAX (Pin 1) | Maximum Duty Cycle Control | SGND = 96%, float = 84%, 3V8 = 75% - sets hard upper limit on on-time to prevent transformer saturation or overvoltage. |
| PHASEMODE (Pin 4) | Interleaved Phase Programming | SGND/float/3V8 selects 180°/180°/120° CH1–CH2 relationship and 90°/60°/240° CH1–CLKOUT alignment for multi-phase stacking. |
| GATE1/GATE2 (Pins 18/16) | N-Channel MOSFET Gate Drivers | 5V logic-level drive referenced to PGND - directly interfaces with low-threshold MOSFETs (e.g., Renesas HAT2266) without level-shifting. |
| SENSE1+/SENSE2+ (Pins 23/13) | Current Sense Inputs | Differential inputs for shunt-resistor-based current sensing - enable cycle-by-cycle peak current limiting per phase. |
| CLKOUT (Pin 10) | Multi-Phase Synchronization Output | Digital clock output synchronized to GATE1 edge - used to daisy-chain additional LTC3862 controllers for >2-phase systems. |
| SYNC (Pin 11) | External Clock Input | Accepts 50–650kHz external clock - locks switching frequency and phase to system master clock for EMI reduction. |
| INTVCC (Pin 19) | 5V Gate Drive LDO Output | Supplies gate drivers; bypassed with ≥4.7µF ceramic capacitor - UVLO (3.3V rising) protects MOSFETs during brownout. |
| 3V8 (Pin 24) | 3.8V Analog/Digital LDO Output | Powers internal error amplifier, comparators, and logic - bypassed with 1nF ceramic capacitor near IC for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Two-phase interleaved operation | Reduces input/output ripple current by ~70% vs. single-phase, enabling smaller bulk capacitors and lower ESR requirements. |
| Programmable slope compensation (SLOPE pin) | Adjusts normalized gain (0.625× to 1.66×) to stabilize current mode control across wide duty cycles and inductor values. |
| Adjustable leading-edge blanking (BLANK pin) | Selects minimum on-time (180ns/260ns/340ns) to suppress gate-drive-induced current-sense noise during MOSFET turn-on. |
| Internal 5V/3.8V dual-LDO architecture | Eliminates need for external bias rails - INTVCC powers gate drivers; 3V8 powers precision analog blocks, improving PSRR and noise rejection. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade H qualification | Validated for –40°C to +150°C operation with robust HTOL, TC, and ESD testing - suitable for engine-control and ADAS power modules. |

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for the LTC3862HUH#PBF?
The absolute maximum input supply voltage (VIN) for the LTC3862HUH#PBF is 40V, but its specified operational range is 4V to 36V. Exceeding 36V may trigger overvoltage protection or degrade long-term reliability. The device's internal 5V INTVCC LDO is powered from VIN, so sustained operation above 36V risks exceeding the INTVCC LDO's dropout and thermal limits. Always observe the 40V absolute maximum rating to prevent permanent damage.
How does the PHASEMODE pin affect multi-phase operation in the LTC3862HUH#PBF?
The PHASEMODE pin on the LTC3862HUH#PBF configures the phase relationship between Channel 1 and Channel 2 (180°/180°/120°) and between Channel 1 and CLKOUT (90°/60°/240°), enabling 2-, 3-, 4-, 6-, or 12-phase systems when daisy-chained. For example, setting PHASEMODE to SGND yields 180° interleaving ideal for two-phase operation, while floating it supports three-phase stacks using CLKOUT-to-SYNC routing. This flexibility allows scalable power delivery without changing the LTC3862HUH#PBF's core layout.
Can the LTC3862HUH#PBF be used in SEPIC topology, and what design considerations apply?
Yes, the LTC3862HUH#PBF supports SEPIC topology via its current-mode control architecture and dual N-channel gate drivers. Key considerations include using coupled inductors or separate L1/L2 windings, ensuring proper current sense placement on the switch node side, and verifying duty cycle limits (≤96%) to maintain C1 voltage within ratings. The device's adjustable slope compensation (SLOPE pin) and leading-edge blanking (BLANK pin) are critical for stabilizing SEPIC operation across line/load transients.
What is the purpose of the 3V8 pin on the LTC3862HUH#PBF, and how must it be decoupled?
The 3V8 pin on the LTC3862HUH#PBF is the output of an internal 3.8V LDO that powers all low-voltage analog and digital circuitry, including the error amplifier, comparators, and logic blocks. It must be decoupled with a 1nF X5R or better ceramic capacitor placed directly between 3V8 and SGND, as close as possible to the IC pins. This capacitor suppresses high-frequency noise coupling into the feedback and current-sense paths, ensuring stable regulation and accurate current limiting - failure to place this capacitor correctly degrades VFB accuracy and increases output ripple.
Does the LTC3862HUH#PBF require external components for soft-start, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the LTC3862HUH#PBF implements soft-start via an external capacitor connected from the SS pin to SGND. An internal 5µA current source charges this capacitor, ramping the ITH voltage and thus the peak inductor current limit linearly over time. A typical 10nF capacitor yields ~20ms soft-start duration. The RUN pin must remain above 1.22V during this period; pulling RUN low aborts soft-start and forces shutdown. No external resistor is needed - the SS pin functions as a voltage-controlled current sink tied to the error amplifier's output stage.
