Product details
Overview
LTC3862IGN-2#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a two-phase, constant-frequency, peak current mode boost/SEPIC DC/DC controller driving N-channel MOSFETs. It operates from 5.5V to 36V input, delivers up to 96% duty cycle, supports 75kHz–500kHz programmable switching frequency, and enables 2-/3-/4-/6-/12-phase synchronization via SYNC/CLKOUT/PHASEMODE for high-power telecom and industrial boost supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3862IGN-2#PBF datasheet, LTC3862IGN-2#PBF pinout, LTC3862IGN-2#PBF application, or LTC3862IGN-2#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-channel phase control, INTVCC UVLO thresholds (4.4V rising / 3.9V falling), ±1% reference accuracy, adjustable slope compensation, and 24-pin SSOP package with PGND-exposed thermal pad.
Technical Context
The LTC3862IGN-2#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 internal architecture includes cascaded LDOs: a 10V INTVCC regulator powering gate drivers and a 3.8V LDO supplying analog/digital circuitry, both with dedicated bypassing requirements.
Phase synchronization is achieved via an internal PLL accepting 50kHz–650kHz external clocks on SYNC, with CLKOUT enabling daisy-chained multi-phase systems. PHASEMODE pin voltage selects channel-to-channel (180°/180°/120°) and channel-to-CLKOUT (90°/60°/240°) phase relationships, while DMAX and SLOPE pins allow precise duty cycle (75%/84%/96%) and slope gain (0.625/1.0/1.66) programming.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Topology | Two-phase boost/SEPIC controller - enables interleaved operation to halve input/output capacitor RMS current and reduce EMI filtering burden. |
| 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) - allows optimization of efficiency vs. size trade-offs in magnetics and capacitors. |
| Max Duty Cycle | 96% (DMAX = SGND) - enables high step-up ratios (e.g., 12V → 80V) without requiring excessive turns ratio or transformer saturation margin. |
| Reference Accuracy | ±1% over temperature - ensures stable output voltage regulation across –40°C to 125°C junction range for I-grade operation. |
| INTVCC UVLO | 4.4V (rising), 3.9V (falling) - protects gate drivers from insufficient bias during brown-in/brown-out, compatible with 6V-VGS MOSFETs. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 65mV to 85mV (typical 75mV) - sets peak inductor current limit with <±7mV inter-channel matching for balanced phase current sharing. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 24-lead narrow plastic SSOP (GN24), 0.25-inch lead pitch, exposed PGND pad (Pin 25) requiring solder connection to PCB for thermal and electrical performance (θJA = 85°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 inductor saturation or diode overstress. |
| PHASEMODE (Pin 4) | Interleaving phase configuration | SGND/float/3V8 selects CH1–CH2 phase offset (180°/180°/120°) and CH1–CLKOUT relationship (90°/60°/240°) for multi-phase scaling. |
| GATE1/GATE2 (Pins 16, 18) | N-channel MOSFET gate drivers | 10V rail-referenced outputs with 3Ω pull-up / 0.9Ω pull-down RDS(ON) - directly drives high-side boost switches without external level shifters. |
| SENSE1+/SENSE2+ (Pins 23, 13) | Positive current sense inputs | Accept low-side sense resistor signals; trip threshold set by ITH voltage - enables accurate per-phase current limiting and sharing. |
| INTVCC (Pin 19) | 10V gate driver supply output | Internally regulated LDO output requiring ≥4.7µF X5R ceramic bypass to PGND - powers gate drivers and must not be paralleled in multi-phase designs. |
| 3V8 (Pin 22) | 3.8V analog/digital supply output | Second-stage LDO powered from INTVCC; requires 1nF ceramic bypass to SGND - supplies error amp, comparators, and logic, not for external loads. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Two-phase interleaved control | Reduces input/output capacitor RMS current by ~30% versus single-phase, lowering thermal stress and enabling smaller bulk capacitance. |
| Programmable slope compensation | SLOPE pin (0.625/1.0/1.66 gain) stabilizes current mode loop at high duty cycles, preventing subharmonic oscillation in boost topologies. |
| Adjustable leading edge blanking | BLANK pin (210ns/290ns/375ns) suppresses gate-drive-induced noise on current sense path, improving reliability under fast-switching conditions. |
| Internal 10V/3.8V dual-LDO system | Eliminates need for external bias rails; INTVCC powers gate drivers, 3V8 powers precision analog blocks - simplifies BOM and layout. |
| Multi-phase synchronization support | SYNC input + CLKOUT output + PHASEMODE pin enable seamless expansion to 3-, 4-, 6-, or 12-phase systems without external timing ICs. |

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-1#PBF | Higher INTVCC UVLO (7.5V/7.0V) and different RUN thresholds; optimized for logic-level MOSFETs. | Requires 7V+ gate drive; less suitable for 6V-VGS high-voltage MOSFETs used in 80V boost designs. | Select LTC3862IGN-2#PBF when using standard 6V-threshold N-channel MOSFETs and needing lower UVLO for wider input dropout margin. |
| LT8330EDD#PBF | Single-phase, 100V input, integrated 1.3A switch; no multi-phase sync or external MOSFET drive capability. | Targeted at lower-power (<5A), space-constrained applications; lacks channel matching and phase control. | Choose LTC3862IGN-2#PBF for >5A, high-efficiency, thermally managed multi-phase boost where external FETs and layout flexibility are required. |
Compared with LTC3862IGN-1#PBF, the LTC3862IGN-2#PBF offers lower UVLO thresholds enabling operation with degraded input rails, while versus LT8330EDD#PBF it provides scalable multi-phase control, higher output current capability, and design flexibility via external MOSFETs - critical for telecom and industrial power systems demanding redundancy and thermal distribution.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC3862IGN-2#PBF?
The LTC3862IGN-2#PBF is rated for –40°C to 125°C junction temperature (I-grade). This specification is guaranteed across the full range, with thermal derating recommended above 125°C to maintain reliability. The SSOP package has θJA = 85°C/W, so board-level thermal design must ensure adequate copper area and airflow to meet this rating under maximum load.
How does the PHASEMODE pin affect multi-phase operation in the LTC3862IGN-2#PBF?
The PHASEMODE pin on the LTC3862IGN-2#PBF configures both channel-to-channel and channel-to-CLKOUT phase relationships: SGND sets 180°/90°, floating sets 180°/60°, and 3V8 sets 120°/240°. This enables flexible scaling to 2-, 3-, 4-, 6-, or 12-phase systems using daisy-chained CLKOUT signals - a core feature distinguishing the LTC3862IGN-2#PBF from single-phase controllers.
Can the INTVCC and 3V8 outputs of the LTC3862IGN-2#PBF power external circuitry?
No. The INTVCC (10V) output is intended solely for internal gate drivers and must be bypassed with ≥4.7µF ceramic to PGND; paralleling multiple INTVCC pins in multi-phase designs causes thermal imbalance. The 3V8 (3.8V) output powers only internal analog/digital blocks and requires a 1nF ceramic bypass to SGND - neither rail is rated for external load current.
What is the purpose of the BLANK pin on the LTC3862IGN-2#PBF, and how does it impact performance?
The BLANK pin on the LTC3862IGN-2#PBF sets leading-edge blanking time to suppress gate-drive-induced noise on the current sense path: SGND = 210ns, floating = 290ns, 3V8 = 375ns. This prevents false current-limit triggering during MOSFET turn-on, especially critical in high-dV/dt boost applications with fast-switching GaN or SiC devices.
Does the LTC3862IGN-2#PBF support synchronization to an external clock, and what are the valid frequency limits?
Yes, the LTC3862IGN-2#PBF supports PLL-based synchronization via the SYNC pin across 50kHz to 650kHz. The internal PLL locks to external clocks within this range, aligning GATE1's rising edge to the SYNC rising edge. This enables precise timing coordination across multiple phases or with system clocks - a key requirement for EMI reduction and deterministic power sequencing.
