Product details
Overview
LTC3864EDE#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-voltage, peak current-mode synchronous step-down DC/DC controller driving an external P-channel MOSFET for automotive and industrial power supplies. It supports 3.5V–60V input, 0.8V–VIN output, 100% duty cycle operation, 40µA Burst Mode quiescent current, and programmable 50kHz–850kHz switching frequency - enabling robust 5V/2A conversion in wide-input systems such as vehicle infotainment power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3864EDE#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3864EDE#TRPBF pinout, LTC3864EDE#TRPBF application, or LTC3864EDE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its P-MOSFET gate drive architecture, verified FMEA-compliant adjacent-pin fault tolerance, ±10% PGOOD accuracy with 100µs delay, 95mV current sense threshold, and thermally enhanced 12-lead 4mm × 3mm DFN package with exposed PGND pad.
Technical Context
The LTC3864EDE#TRPBF implements a constant-frequency, peak current-mode control architecture with slope compensation, where the ITH pin serves as both error amplifier output and current threshold reference (0–2.9V range). Its internal 8V LDO (VIN–VCAP) powers the high-side P-MOSFET gate driver, delivering strong pull-up (2Ω) and pull-down (0.9Ω) capability while maintaining dropout operation down to 3.25V (VIN–VCAP).
Light-load behavior is configurable via PLLIN/MODE: floating enables 40µA Burst Mode with sleep-state disconnection of ITH; grounding selects pulse-skipping mode. Frequency foldback activates when VFB falls below 0.4V (50% of 0.8V reference), reducing switching frequency to ~18% of setpoint to limit inrush and short-circuit current without compromising startup reliability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5V to 60V - supports direct connection to automotive battery (cold-crank down to 3.5V) and industrial 48V rails. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.8V to VIN - enables dropout operation at 100% duty cycle when VIN ≤ VOUT, critical for low-VIN backup supplies. |
| Quiescent Current (Burst Mode) | 40µA typical - sustains >100-hour battery runtime in always-on vehicle modules. |
| Switching Frequency | 50kHz to 850kHz (resistor-programmable) - balances EMI, efficiency, and inductor size across 12V/24V/48V systems. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 95mV typical (VIN–SENSE) - sets precise peak inductor current limit independent of temperature drift. |
| PGOOD Accuracy | ±10% window around 0.8V reference - ensures reliable system enable/disable sequencing with 100µs response delay. |
| Gate Driver Strength | Pull-up: 2Ω, Pull-down: 0.9Ω - drives large P-MOSFETs with fast edge rates and minimal shoot-through risk. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 12-lead (4mm × 3mm) plastic DFN with exposed PGND pad (Pin 13), rated for –40°C to +125°C junction temperature. Exposed pad must be soldered to PCB for thermal performance (θJC = 5.5°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GATE (12) | P-channel MOSFET gate driver output | High-current push-pull output with 2Ω pull-up / 0.9Ω pull-down; disables below 3.25V (VIN–VCAP). |
| VIN (11) | Main power supply input | Supplies internal circuitry and CAP LDO; requires ≥0.1µF ceramic bypass to PGND. |
| SENSE (10) | Current sense differential input | Kelvin-connected to RSENSE; compares VIN–SENSE voltage to 95mV threshold for cycle-by-cycle current limiting. |
| CAP (9) | Gate bias LDO output (VIN–VCAP) | Regulated 8V (typ.) supply for P-MOSFET gate; requires ≥0.47µF low-ESR ceramic between VIN and CAP. |
| RUN (8) | Enable/shutdown control | 1.26V threshold with 150mV hysteresis; internal 0.4µA pull-up allows direct 60V-compatible logic interface. |
| PGOOD (7) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Pulled low when VFB deviates >±10% from 0.8V or RUN = low; 100µs delay prevents false triggering during transients. |
| ITH (6) | Error amplifier output & current threshold | 0–2.9V analog node; sets peak inductor current via sum with slope compensation ramp. |
| VFB (5) | Feedback voltage input | Regulated to 0.8V nominal; determines output voltage via resistor divider; triggers foldback if <0.4V. |
| SS (4) | Soft-start/tracking control | Internal 10µA pull-up charges external capacitor; output tracks SS voltage when SS < 0.8V. |
| FREQ (2) | Frequency programming input | 20µA current source sets oscillator frequency via external resistor; ground = 350kHz, open = 535kHz. |
| PLLIN/MODE (1) | Sync clock input / light-load mode select | Floating = 40µA Burst Mode; grounded = pulse-skipping; external 75–750kHz clock synchronizes GATE turn-on edge. |
| PGND (13) | Power ground (exposed pad) | Must be soldered to PCB plane; serves as return path for high-current GATE, SENSE, and CAP paths. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 100% duty cycle capability | Enables seamless transition into dropout when VIN drops below VOUT - essential for automotive cold-crank and backup power hold-up. |
| FMEA-verified adjacent-pin fault tolerance | Guaranteed safe operation under open/short faults between any two pins - meets ASIL-B functional safety requirements for automotive ECUs. |
| Programmable Burst Mode (40µA IQ) | Reduces no-load input current by >95% vs. pulse-skipping, extending battery life in always-on telematics and ADAS modules. |
| Integrated 8V gate bias LDO (VIN–VCAP) | Eliminates need for external bootstrap or charge-pump circuitry when driving high-side P-MOSFETs in buck topologies. |
| Frequency foldback on overcurrent | Automatically reduces switching frequency to ~18% of setpoint when VFB < 0.4V - limits peak current during short-circuit without external circuitry. |
| Accurate ±10% PGOOD with 100µs delay | Ensures deterministic power sequencing in multi-rail systems (e.g., SoC + memory + I/O) while rejecting brief line transients. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC3864EDE#TRPBF?
The LTC3864EDE#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 65V on the VIN pin, with continuous operation supported from 3.5V to 60V. This 60V operating上限 enables direct connection to 48V industrial buses and withstands automotive load-dump transients per ISO 7637-2 without external protection.
Does the LTC3864EDE#TRPBF support 100% duty cycle operation, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the LTC3864EDE#TRPBF supports true 100% duty cycle operation by disabling the high-side P-MOSFET gate driver when VIN drops below the programmed VOUT. This allows the output to follow VIN linearly in dropout - a critical feature for automotive cold-crank survival where battery voltage can sag to 3.5V while maintaining regulated output.
How does the LTC3864EDE#TRPBF achieve 40µA quiescent current in Burst Mode?
The LTC3864EDE#TRPBF achieves 40µA quiescent current by disconnecting the ITH pin from the error amplifier output and holding it at 0.55V during sleep mode - shutting down oscillator, gate driver, and most analog circuitry while retaining PGOOD monitoring and RUN detection. This state activates automatically when VFB exceeds the 0.8V reference during light loads.
What package type and thermal characteristics apply to the LTC3864EDE#TRPBF?
The LTC3864EDE#TRPBF uses a 12-lead 4mm × 3mm plastic DFN package with exposed PGND pad (Pin 13). Its thermal resistance is θJC = 5.5°C/W and θJA = 43°C/W. The exposed pad must be soldered to a PCB thermal plane to achieve rated performance and ensure reliable operation at 125°C junction temperature.
Can the LTC3864EDE#TRPBF synchronize to an external clock, and what is the valid frequency range?
Yes, the LTC3864EDE#TRPBF can synchronize to an external clock applied to the PLLIN/MODE pin across 75kHz to 750kHz. The internal PLL aligns the GATE turn-on edge to the rising edge of the external clock, enabling deterministic switching in noise-sensitive or multi-phase systems - with input thresholds of 2V (HI) and 0.5V (LO).
