Product details
Overview
LTC3890EUH-2#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a 60V input, dual-phase synchronous step-down DC/DC controller driving two independent N-channel MOSFET stages. It delivers 8.5V/3.3V outputs with 50µA quiescent current (one channel active), 0.8V–24V adjustable output range, and out-of-phase operation to reduce input ripple-ideal for automotive always-on systems and battery-powered digital devices.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3890EUH-2#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3890EUH-2#TRPBF pinout, LTC3890EUH-2#TRPBF application, or LTC3890EUH-2#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, dual-channel phase-lockable frequency (75kHz–850kHz), RSENSE/DCR current sensing, selectable light-load modes (Burst/Pulse-Skipping/Continuous), and 5mm × 5mm QFN package with exposed thermal pad.
Technical Context
The LTC3890EUH-2#TRPBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control with independent error amplifiers (ITH1/ITH2) and dual differential current comparators referenced to SENSE1±/SENSE2±. Its OPTI-LOOP® compensation supports wide output capacitance and ESR ranges, while the 180° out-of-phase operation between channels minimizes input capacitor RMS current and power supply noise.
It features dual independent RUN pins (1.15V/1.20V thresholds), programmable current limit via ILIM pin (GND/FLOAT/INTVCC), and flexible startup control through TRACK/SS1 and TRACK/SS2 pins enabling soft-start or voltage tracking. The internal 5.1V INTVCC LDO can be powered from VIN or an external EXTVCC source ≥4.7V.

Pinout & Package
Package: 32-lead (5mm × 5mm) plastic QFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 33 = SGND). Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB ground plane for thermal performance (θJA = 34°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SENSE1– / SENSE2– (1, 9) | Differential current sense (–) input | Reference node for current comparator; supplies bias current when > INTVCC – 0.5V. |
| FREQ (2) | Oscillator frequency programming | Resistor-to-GND sets 50–900kHz; tied to GND/INTVCC selects fixed 350/535kHz. |
| PHASMD (3) | Phase relationship selector | Configures TG2/CLKOUT phase offset vs TG1: 180°/60° (GND), 240°/120° (INTVCC), or 180°/90° (float). |
| CLKOUT (4) | Master clock output | INTVCC-rail-swing signal for daisy-chaining additional controllers in multiphase systems. |
| PLLIN/MODE (5) | Synchronization & light-load mode control | Accepts external clock for PLL sync; selects Burst (GND/floating), Continuous (INTVCC), or Pulse-Skipping (1.2V–INTVCC–1.3V). |
| SGND (6, 33) | Small-signal ground reference | Must be routed separately from PGND; exposed pad (33) is SGND and must be soldered to PCB ground. |
| RUN1 / RUN2 (7, 8) | Independent channel enable | Shuts down individual controller below 1.15V/1.20V; both < 0.7V enters full shutdown (<14µA IQ). |
| BOOST1 / BOOST2 (17, 24) | Top-gate bootstrap supply | Provides floating bias for TG drivers; swings from INTVCC to (VIN + INTVCC); requires external bootstrap cap + Schottky diode. |
| TG1 / TG2 (15, 26) | Top N-MOSFET gate drive | High-current floating driver output; voltage swing = INTVCC – 0.5V superimposed on SW node. |
| SW1 / SW2 (16, 25) | Switch node connection | Connects to inductor high-side; forms switching node with TG/BG and BOOST caps. |
| BG1 / BG2 (18, 23) | Bottom N-MOSFET gate drive | High-current driver referenced to PGND; swings from 0V to INTVCC. |
| PGND (21) | Power ground return | Return path for bottom MOSFET sources and CIN(–); must be low-inductance connection to minimize noise. |
| VIN (22) | Main input supply | Primary power rail (4–60V); powers internal LDO and gate drivers unless EXTVCC is active. |
| EXTVCC (20) | External INTVCC supply input | Enables bypass of VIN LDO when >4.7V; reduces power loss and heat in high-VIN applications. |
| INTVCC (19) | Internal 5.1V LDO output | Powers control circuitry and gate drivers; requires ≥4.7µF ceramic decoupling to SGND. |
| VFB1 / VFB2 (11, 31) | Feedback voltage input | Compares output divider voltage to 0.800V reference; ±10% trip point for PGOOD assertion. |
| ITH1 / ITH2 (12, 30) | Error amplifier output | Controls peak inductor current; higher voltage increases current limit and loop gain. |
| TRACK/SS1 / TRACK/SS2 (13, 29) | Soft-start & tracking control | Internal 1µA pull-up; capacitor to ground sets ramp time; resistor divider enables output tracking. |
| ILIM (28) | Current limit threshold select | GND/FLOAT/INTVCC configures max sense voltage to 22/43/64mV - sets overcurrent protection level. |
| PGOOD1 / PGOOD2 (14, 27) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Asserts low when VFB deviates >±10% from regulation; includes 25µs fault delay and hysteresis. |
| SENSE1+ / SENSE2+ (10, 32) | Differential current sense (+) input | Connects to shunt resistor or DCR network; common-mode range supports ground-referenced sensing. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC3890EUH-2#TRPBF?
The LTC3890EUH-2#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage (VIN) rating of 65V, with a recommended operating range of 4V to 60V. This wide input range supports 12V, 24V, and 48V battery and industrial bus architectures, including automotive cold-crank and load-dump transients when properly clamped externally.
Does the LTC3890EUH-2#TRPBF support synchronization to an external clock?
Yes, the LTC3890EUH-2#TRPBF supports external clock synchronization via the PLLIN/MODE pin. When an external clock signal is applied, the internal phase-locked loop aligns the rising edge of TG1 with the rising edge of that clock, enabling deterministic timing across multiple converters in noise-sensitive or EMI-constrained systems.
How does the ILIM pin affect current limiting on the LTC3890EUH-2#TRPBF?
The ILIM pin on the LTC3890EUH-2#TRPBF selects one of three maximum current sense thresholds: 22mV (ILIM = GND), 43mV (ILIM = FLOAT), or 64mV (ILIM = INTVCC). This directly sets the peak inductor current trip point for both channels, allowing scalable overcurrent protection without changing sense resistor values.
Can the LTC3890EUH-2#TRPBF operate with only one channel enabled?
Yes, the LTC3890EUH-2#TRPBF supports independent channel operation. Pulling RUN1 high and RUN2 low disables Channel 2 while keeping Channel 1 fully functional-including its dedicated PGOOD2, TRACK/SS2, and current limit settings-enabling flexible partial-power configurations.
What thermal considerations apply to the LTC3890EUH-2#TRPBF's exposed pad?
The exposed pad (Pin 33) of the LTC3890EUH-2#TRPBF is electrically and thermally connected to SGND and must be soldered to a PCB copper pour for effective heat dissipation. Failure to do so degrades thermal performance, increasing junction temperature and potentially violating the –40°C to +125°C operating range specification.
