Product details
Overview
LTC3865EUH#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual, 2-phase synchronous step-down DC/DC controller driving all-N-channel MOSFET stages. It delivers precise 1.5V/15A and 1.2V/15A outputs with 180° phase interleaving, 4.5V–38V input range, and pin-selectable VID programming. Used in high-density server VRMs and telecom power distribution systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3865EUH#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3865EUH#TRPBF pinout, LTC3865EUH#TRPBF application, or LTC3865EUH#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-phase current-mode control, OPTI-LOOP® compensation for wide output capacitance tolerance, independent track/soft-start pins, adjustable current limit via ILIM pin, and phase-lockable 250kHz–770kHz operation.
Technical Context
The LTC3865EUH#TRPBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control with two independent error amplifiers (EA), transconductance gm = 2.2 mmho, and dual ITH pins setting peak inductor current per channel. Its 180° out-of-phase operation reduces input/output ripple and improves thermal distribution across PCBs.
It supports three light-load modes-Burst Mode®, pulse-skipping, and forced continuous conduction-selected via MODE/PLLIN pin voltage. The device integrates dual N-channel gate drivers (TG/BG) with 2.6Ω pull-up / 1.5Ω pull-down on TG and 3Ω/1.4Ω on BG, plus internal 5V INTVCC regulator (4.8V–5.2V) and EXTVCC switchover at 4.7V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 38V - supports wide industrial and telecom input rails without external pre-regulation |
| Output Voltage Programming | 0.6V to 5V via 2-pin VID strapping - enables precise, resistor-free VOUT setup for CPU/GPU core rails |
| Switching Frequency Range | 250kHz to 770kHz (phase-lockable) - balances efficiency, size, and EMI in high-current designs |
| Current Sense Threshold | 24mV to 82mV (E-grade, configurable via ILIM pin) - sets accurate overcurrent protection with DCR or RSENSE sensing |
| Efficiency | Up to 95% - achieved through low-Rds(on) gate drive, minimized dead-time losses, and optimized driver timing |
| Soft-Start Current | 1.3μA (typical) - provides controlled, predictable output ramp rate using external capacitor on TK/SS pins |
| Power Good Accuracy | ±10% window on VOSENSE - ensures reliable system sequencing and fault detection for dual-rail supplies |
Pinout & Package
Package: 32-lead (5mm × 5mm) plastic QFN with exposed SGND pad (Pin 33), rated for –40°C to +125°C junction temperature. Thermal resistance θJA = 34°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VOSENSE1, VOSENSE2 (Pins 1, 8) | Error amplifier feedback inputs | Accept remote-sensed output voltage or external divider signals; enable precision regulation under load transients |
| TK/SS1, TK/SS2 (Pins 2, 7) | Soft-start and tracking control | Internal 1.3μA current charges external capacitor to ramp VOUT; supports master-slave voltage tracking |
| ITH1, ITH2 (Pins 3, 6) | Error amplifier output / current threshold | Directly sets peak inductor current per phase; interface point for loop compensation network |
| VID11, VID12, VID21, VID22 (Pins 4, 5, 12, 28) | Output voltage selection inputs | Four logic-level pins (INTVCC/GND/float) configure nine discrete VOUT values from 0.6V to 5V |
| ILIM (Pin 13) | Current sense threshold range select | Configures max sense voltage to 24mV/44mV/68mV (E-grade); critical for accurate OCP calibration |
| PGOOD (Pin 14) | Co-bonded power-good indicator | Open-drain output pulled low if either channel exceeds ±10% regulation window after 100μs blanking |
| MODE/PLLIN (Pin 27) | Light-load mode select & sync input | DC level selects Burst/Pulse-Skip/Continuous mode; AC clock synchronizes oscillator to external source |
| FREQ (Pin 29) | Oscillator frequency set | 7.5μA sink current into external resistor sets nominal frequency (e.g., 162kΩ → 500kHz) |
| TG1, TG2 / BG1, BG2 (Pins 25,16 / 23,19) | Top/bottom gate drivers | Drive N-MOSFET gates with fast rise/fall times (25ns) and matched dead-time control to prevent shoot-through |
| SW1, SW2 (Pins 26, 15) | Switch node connections | Interface directly to inductor high-side nodes; support bootstrap operation up to 40V swing |

FAQ
What is the maximum supported switching frequency for the LTC3865EUH#TRPBF?
The LTC3865EUH#TRPBF supports a phase-lockable switching frequency range from 250kHz to 770kHz. At RFREQ = 0Ω, minimum frequency is 250kHz (typ); at RFREQ ≥ 325kΩ, maximum frequency reaches 770kHz (typ). This range allows optimization of magnetics size, efficiency, and EMI filtering for each application.
How does the ILIM pin affect current limiting on the LTC3865EUH#TRPBF?
The ILIM pin on the LTC3865EUH#TRPBF configures the maximum current sense threshold per channel: tying ILIM to GND sets 24mV, floating sets 44mV, and tying to INTVCC sets 68mV (E-grade). This directly scales the peak inductor current trip point without changing external sense components, enabling flexible OCP tuning.
Can the LTC3865EUH#TRPBF operate with only one channel enabled?
Yes, the LTC3865EUH#TRPBF supports independent channel control. Pulling RUN1 low disables Channel 1 while Channel 2 remains active; pulling RUN2 low disables Channel 2. Both channels can be operated simultaneously, independently, or in master-slave tracking configuration using TK/SS pins.
What is the purpose of the MODE/PLLIN pin on the LTC3865EUH#TRPBF?
The MODE/PLLIN pin on the LTC3865EUH#TRPBF serves dual functions: selecting light-load operation mode (Burst Mode® when floating, pulse-skipping when tied to INTVCC, forced continuous when grounded) and accepting an external clock for oscillator synchronization - enabling deterministic EMI reduction in noise-sensitive systems.
Does the LTC3865EUH#TRPBF require external bootstrap diodes?
No, the LTC3865EUH#TRPBF does not require external bootstrap diodes. Its internal charge pump architecture automatically recharges the bootstrap capacitors during normal operation. However, during dropout conditions (VIN ≈ VOUT), the internal dropout detector forces periodic top-FET off-time to ensure CB recharge - eliminating need for external diodes.
