Product details
Overview
LTC3862IUH#PBF from Analog Devices is a two-phase, constant-frequency, peak current mode step-up DC/DC controller driving N-channel MOSFETs for boost and SEPIC topologies. It operates from 4V to 36V input, delivers up to 96% max duty cycle, supports 75kHz–500kHz programmable switching frequency, and integrates dual 5V gate drivers with internal 5V/3.8V LDOs. It is used in automotive-grade 48V intermediate bus converters requiring high efficiency and multi-phase scalability.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3862IUH#PBF datasheet, LTC3862IUH#PBF pinout, LTC3862IUH#PBF application, or LTC3862IUH#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include phase synchronization capability (SYNC/CLKOUT/PHASEMODE), adjustable leading edge blanking, ±1% reference accuracy, thermal performance in QFN-24 package, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive power supplies.
Technical Context
The LTC3862IUH#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 1.223V internal reference, generating ITH voltage to set peak inductor current. Slope compensation gain is programmable via SLOPE pin, and minimum on-time (180–340ns) is configurable via BLANK pin.
Phase coordination uses an internal PLL synchronized to external clocks (50kHz–650kHz) via SYNC, with CLKOUT enabling daisy-chained multi-phase operation (2-, 3-, 4-, 6-, or 12-phase). DMAX pin sets precise maximum duty cycle (75%, 84%, or 96%) derived from a 12× internal clock, ensuring tight timing control across temperature and supply variations.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3862EUH#PBF | Same silicon, rated for –40°C to +85°C ambient (E-grade) vs. –40°C to +125°C (I-grade). | Not qualified for under-hood automotive use; limited to commercial/industrial enclosures with active cooling. | Select when full AEC-Q100 qualification and extended temperature operation are not required. |
| LTC3862-1IUH#PBF | Higher INTVCC UVLO (7.0V/7.5V) and RUN threshold (1.22V → 2.2V); optimized for standard-threshold MOSFETs. | Supports higher-output-voltage (>60V) boost designs using 10V-gate MOSFETs; incompatible with logic-level FETs without level-shifting. | Choose only when driving standard-threshold N-MOSFETs in >50V output applications. |
Compared with LTC3862EUH#PBF, the LTC3862IUH#PBF provides guaranteed operation up to +125°C junction and AEC-Q100 compliance-essential for automotive integration-while LTC3862-1IUH#PBF trades logic-level compatibility for higher gate drive headroom, making it unsuitable as a drop-in replacement without circuit redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum achievable output voltage using LTC3862IUH#PBF in a boost configuration?
The LTC3862IUH#PBF itself does not impose a hard upper limit on output voltage; it is constrained by external component ratings and layout. In practice, designs achieving 60V output have been validated using appropriate MOSFETs, diodes, and capacitors. The controller's 96% max duty cycle and 36V VIN rating enable high step-up ratios (e.g., 12V→48V), but system-level voltage stress, thermal management, and safety margins must be verified per application. LTC3862IUH#PBF supports this through precise current sensing and robust gate drive.
Does LTC3862IUH#PBF support synchronization to an external clock source?
Yes, LTC3862IUH#PBF supports full PLL-based synchronization via its SYNC pin, accepting external clock signals from 50kHz to 650kHz. The internal PLL locks GATE1's rising edge to the SYNC rising edge, enabling deterministic phase alignment across multiple controllers. This capability is essential for EMI reduction and coherent multi-phase operation in systems like telecom power shelves. LTC3862IUH#PBF also provides CLKOUT for daisy-chaining additional units.
How is thermal performance affected by the QFN package of LTC3862IUH#PBF?
The LTC3862IUH#PBF uses a 5mm × 5mm QFN package with exposed PGND pad, delivering θJA = 44°C/W-significantly better than SSOP (85°C/W) and comparable to TSSOP (38°C/W). Effective thermal design requires soldering the exposed pad to a large PCB copper area connected to PGND. This enables reliable operation at full load up to +125°C ambient when combined with proper layout, airflow, and MOSFET selection. LTC3862IUH#PBF's internal thermal shutdown further protects against sustained overload.
Can LTC3862IUH#PBF drive standard-threshold MOSFETs?
No, LTC3862IUH#PBF is optimized for logic-level N-channel MOSFETs with 5V gate drive (INTVCC = 5V). Its gate drivers are not rated for the 10V gate thresholds typical of standard-threshold devices. For such applications, Analog Devices specifies the LTC3862-1IUH#PBF variant, which features higher INTVCC UVLO (7.0V) and RUN thresholds, enabling safe operation with 10V-gate FETs. Using standard-threshold MOSFETs with LTC3862IUH#PBF risks insufficient RDS(on) and thermal runaway.
What is the purpose of the 3V8 pin on LTC3862IUH#PBF, and how should it be decoupled?
The 3V8 pin on LTC3862IUH#PBF is the output of an internal 3.8V LDO powered from INTVCC, supplying low-noise bias to analog comparators, error amplifiers, and digital logic. 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 suppresses high-frequency noise coupling into sensitive analog nodes. LTC3862IUH#PBF's 3V8 rail is not intended to power external circuitry-doing so degrades regulation accuracy and noise performance.
