Product details
Overview
LTC3890EGN-1#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual-phase, synchronous step-down DC/DC controller driving two independent N-channel MOSFET stages for high-efficiency 8.5V/3.3V outputs. It operates from 4V to 60V input, delivers ≤24V programmable output voltage per channel, supports RSENSE or DCR current sensing, and achieves 50µA quiescent current in single-channel sleep mode - ideal for automotive always-on systems and battery-powered digital devices.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3890EGN-1#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3890EGN-1#TRPBF pinout, LTC3890EGN-1#TRPBF application, or LTC3890EGN-1#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its out-of-phase dual-channel architecture (reducing input capacitance and supply noise), phase-lockable 75kHz–850kHz switching frequency, selectable light-load modes (Burst Mode®, pulse-skipping, or forced continuous), and integrated 5.1V INTVCC LDO with EXTVCC switchover capability.
Technical Context
The LTC3890EGN-1#TRPBF implements a constant-frequency current-mode control architecture with two independent controllers operating 180° out-of-phase to minimize input ripple and EMI. Each channel features dedicated error amplifiers (ITH1/ITH2), differential current sense inputs (SENSE1±/SENSE2±), and independent TRACK/SS pins enabling soft-start or voltage tracking.
Its OPTI-LOOP® compensation supports wide output capacitor ESR ranges, while the internal 5.1V LDO powers gate drivers from VIN or EXTVCC (switchover at 4.7V). The device includes robust protection: output overvoltage detection (±10% VFB trip), power-good monitoring (PGOOD1), and no current foldback during start-up - ensuring stable operation under short-circuit conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 4V to 60V - supports 12V/24V/48V industrial buses and wide battery chemistries (e.g., 12S Li-ion). |
| IQ (One Channel On) | 50µA - extends runtime in always-on battery systems (e.g., telematics, ADAS sensors). |
| VOUT Range | 0.8V to 24V per channel - enables flexible dual-rail generation (e.g., 3.3V + 8.5V for FPGA I/O and core logic). |
| Switching Frequency | 75kHz to 850kHz (phase-lockable) - allows EMI optimization and compact magnetics design. |
| Duty Cycle Max | 99% - supports ultra-low dropout operation (e.g., 12V→11.5V conversion with minimal loss). |
| Current Sensing | RSENSE or DCR - eliminates sense resistor losses in high-current applications (≥5A per channel). |
| Package | 28-Lead SSOP - surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles; thermal resistance θJA = 90°C/W. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-Lead Plastic SSOP (GN), RoHS-compliant, –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ITH1, ITH2 | Error amplifier output / current limit control | Directly sets peak inductor current per channel; used for loop compensation and current foldback. |
| VFB1, VFB2 | Feedback input | Monitors output voltage via external resistor divider; regulated to 0.800V ±1.2% over temperature. |
| SENSE1+, SENSE2+ | Current sense positive input | Connects to high-side of sense resistor or DCR network; differential measurement rejects common-mode noise. |
| SENSE1–, SENSE2– | Current sense negative input | Completes differential sense path; bias current <±1µA minimizes offset error in precision sensing. |
| PLLIN/MODE | Light-load mode select / sync input | Configures Burst Mode® (GND), pulse-skipping (1.2V–INTVCC–1.3V), or forced continuous (INTVCC); accepts external clock for synchronization. |
| RUN1, RUN2 | Channel enable control | Digital shutdown pins: <1.15V disables individual channel; both <0.7V reduces total IQ to 14µA. |
| TG1, TG2 / BG1, BG2 | Top/bottom gate drivers | Drives N-MOSFET gates with 2.5Ω pull-up / 1.5Ω pull-down; supports >1MHz switching with 25ns transition times. |
| PGOOD1 | Power-good indicator | Open-drain output asserts low when VFB1 deviates >±10% from regulation - enables system sequencing and fault reporting. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Out-of-phase dual-channel operation | Reduces RMS input current by ~30%, cutting required bulk capacitance and lowering conducted EMI. |
| OPTI-LOOP® compensation | Enables stable loop response across 10× variation in output capacitor ESR without external component changes. |
| Adjustable soft-start/tracking | Internal 1µA current source charges external capacitor on TRACK/SS pins - ensures monotonic, controlled ramp-up of both outputs. |
| EXTVCC switchover | Automatically switches INTVCC power source from VIN LDO to higher-efficiency EXTVCC LDO above 4.7V - improves overall system efficiency. |
| No current foldback at startup | Prevents premature current limiting during inrush - guarantees full output voltage regulation even with large output capacitors. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel synchronous buck controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3890IGN-1#TRPBF | Same die, extended –40°C to 125°C grade with tighter initial VFB tolerance (±0.75% vs ±1.0%) | Required for industrial environments with wider ambient temperature swings | Select when guaranteed performance over full –40°C to 125°C range is mandatory; otherwise LTC3890EGN-1#TRPBF suffices for commercial-grade designs. |
| MP2918GL-Z | Single-chip dual-phase controller with integrated MOSFET drivers only (no external FET support); fixed 600kHz frequency; no EXTVCC option | Suitable for space-constrained, medium-power (<15W/channel) applications where integration outweighs flexibility | Choose MP2918GL-Z only if board area is critical and 4V–36V input range (vs 4V–60V) is acceptable; LTC3890EGN-1#TRPBF retains superior HV robustness and configurability. |
Compared with LTC3890IGN-1#TRPBF, the LTC3890EGN-1#TRPBF trades guaranteed high-temp performance for lower cost and adequate stability in commercial environments; versus MP2918GL-Z, it offers wider input range, external FET control, and EXTVCC flexibility - essential for high-reliability or high-voltage industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC3890EGN-1#TRPBF?
The LTC3890EGN-1#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input supply voltage (VIN) of 65V, with a recommended operating range of 4V to 60V. This 60V upper limit ensures reliable operation across 12V, 24V, and 48V industrial and automotive bus systems, including transient tolerance during load dump events. Exceeding 65V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
How does the LTC3890EGN-1#TRPBF achieve 50µA quiescent current?
The LTC3890EGN-1#TRPBF achieves 50µA quiescent current by entering Sleep Mode when only one channel is active and light-load conditions trigger the PLLIN/MODE pin configuration. In this state, internal circuitry-including error amplifiers and oscillators-is selectively disabled while maintaining regulation, minimizing power draw from the input source. This behavior is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Sleep Mode (One Channel On)".
Can the LTC3890EGN-1#TRPBF synchronize to an external clock?
Yes, the LTC3890EGN-1#TRPBF can synchronize to an external clock via the PLLIN/MODE pin. When an external clock signal is applied, the internal phase-locked loop forces the rising edge of TG1 to align with the external clock's rising edge - enabling deterministic timing across multiple converters and reducing beat-frequency EMI. This capability is explicitly documented in the Pin Functions and Electrical Characteristics sections.
What protection features does the LTC3890EGN-1#TRPBF include?
The LTC3890EGN-1#TRPBF includes output overvoltage protection (trip at ±10% VFB), power-good monitoring (PGOOD1 open-drain output), undervoltage lockout (UVLO at 3.6V–4.0V), and reverse-current prevention via IR comparator. It also features no current foldback during start-up - preventing premature current limiting - and 99% duty cycle operation for ultra-low dropout. All protections are verified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables.
Is the LTC3890EGN-1#TRPBF pin-compatible with other variants in the LTC3890 family?
Yes, the LTC3890EGN-1#TRPBF is pin-compatible with all GN-package variants of the LTC3890-1 family, including LTC3890IGN-1#TRPBF and LTC3890HGN-1#TRPBF. They share identical 28-lead SSOP footprints, pin assignments, and electrical interfaces - differing only in temperature grade, initial VFB tolerance, and guaranteed operating range. This allows drop-in replacement for qualification upgrades without PCB redesign.
