Product details
Overview
LTC3890EUH#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a dual-phase, synchronous step-down DC/DC controller designed for high-efficiency power conversion in automotive and industrial systems. It supports 4V–60V input, delivers two independent outputs (0.8V–24V), operates with 50µA quiescent current in single-channel sleep mode, and features out-of-phase operation to reduce input ripple. It is used in battery-powered digital devices requiring stable low-IQ regulation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3890EUH#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3890EUH#TRPBF pinout, LTC3890EUH#TRPBF application, or LTC3890EUH#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, dual-channel phase-lockable frequency (75kHz–850kHz), RSENSE/DCR sensing flexibility, selectable light-load modes (Burst/Pulse-Skipping/Continuous), and 99% duty-cycle dropout capability.
Technical Context
The LTC3890EUH#TRPBF implements a constant-frequency current-mode architecture with two independent controllers operating 180° out-of-phase to minimize input capacitor RMS current and system noise. Each channel uses a transconductance error amplifier (2 mmho) and precision 0.8V reference (±1.2 mV over temperature) to regulate output voltage via external resistor dividers connected to VFB1/VFB2.
It integrates dual N-channel MOSFET gate drivers (TG/BG) with 2.5Ω pull-up and 1.5Ω pull-down on TG, 2.4Ω/1.1Ω on BG, and supports bootstrap operation up to 71V on BOOST pins. The internal INTVCC LDO delivers 5.1V ±2.5% from VIN or EXTVCC (switchover at 4.7V), enabling efficient self-powering from regulated outputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 4V to 60V - supports wide battery chemistries (12V/24V/48V systems) and intermediate bus voltages without external pre-regulation. |
| IQ (Sleep, 1 ch) | 50 µA - extends runtime in always-on automotive modules and portable equipment with standby power budgets under 100 µW. |
| VOUT Range | 0.8V to 24V - enables direct generation of logic rails (3.3V, 5V), analog supplies (8.5V), and higher-voltage subsystems from single input. |
| Switching Frequency | 75 kHz to 850 kHz - programmable via FREQ pin resistor or PLL-synchronized externally; allows optimization of size (high f) vs. efficiency (low f). |
| Duty Cycle Max | 99% - supports ultra-low dropout operation (e.g., 12V→11.5V), critical for maintaining regulation during cold-crank or brownout conditions. |
| Current Sensing | RSENSE or DCR - eliminates need for dedicated sense resistors in high-current designs, reducing conduction loss and board space. |
| Light-Load Mode | Selectable Burst Mode®, Pulse-Skipping, or Continuous - enables >90% efficiency down to 100 µA load while suppressing audible noise and EMI. |
Pinout & Package
32-lead (5mm × 5mm) plastic QFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 33 = SGND), 0.75mm profile, RoHS-compliant, rated for –40°C to +125°C junction temperature.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SENSE1– / SENSE2– (1, 9) | Differential current sense (–) input | Accepts common-mode voltage up to 28V; supplies bias current when > INTVCC – 0.5V, enabling accurate DCR sensing across wide input range. |
| FREQ (2) | VCO frequency control | 20 µA internal pull-up sets oscillator frequency; resistor to GND programs 50–900 kHz; direct tie to GND/INTVCC selects fixed 350/535 kHz. |
| PLLIN/MODE (5) | Sync input & light-load mode select | Accepts external clock for phase-locking; voltage level (GND/INTVCC/1.2–INTVCC–1.3V) selects Burst/Pulse-Skipping/Continuous mode per both channels. |
| TG1/TG2 (26, 15) | Top N-MOS gate drive outputs | Float relative to SW nodes; swing = INTVCC – 0.5V superimposed on SW; drives external high-side MOSFETs with 2.5Ω pull-up. |
| PGOOD1/PGOOD2 (27, 14) | Open-drain power-good indicators | Assert low when VFB deviates >±10% from setpoint; includes 2.5% hysteresis and 25 µs fault reporting delay for reliable sequencing. |
| TRACK/SS1/SS2 (29, 13) | Soft-start & tracking control | Internal 1 µA pull-up charges external capacitor for linear ramp; also accepts external divider for supply tracking during startup. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Out-of-phase dual controllers | Reduces required input capacitance by ~50% and cuts power supply-induced noise on shared rails in multi-rail systems. |
| OPTI-LOOP® compensation | Enables stable loop response across wide ranges of output capacitance (10 µF–1000 µF) and ESR (0.5 mΩ–100 mΩ) without redesign. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade E qualification | Validated for automotive applications including infotainment, ADAS sensors, and body electronics with full temperature and reliability testing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-phase synchronous buck controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3891IUH#TRPBF | Single-output, 60V, 50µA IQ, same package - lacks second channel and phase synchronization capability. | Suitable only for single-rail systems; cannot replace LTC3890EUH#TRPBF in dual-output or interleaved designs. | Select when only one regulated output is needed and board space must be minimized. |
| MP8770GQ-Z | 60V dual-phase controller, 65µA IQ, 5mm×5mm QFN - no AEC-Q100 qualification, no PLL sync, fixed 500kHz frequency only. | Targeted at cost-sensitive industrial/commercial use; not approved for automotive safety-critical functions. | Choose for non-automotive applications where qualification and flexible frequency are secondary to BOM cost. |
Compared with LTC3891IUH#TRPBF and MP8770GQ-Z, the LTC3890EUH#TRPBF uniquely combines dual independent outputs, AEC-Q100 qualification, full phase-lock capability, and selectable light-load modes - making it the only option for automotive dual-rail systems requiring robustness, noise control, and extended battery runtime.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC3890EUH#TRPBF?
The LTC3890EUH#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input supply voltage (VIN) rating of 65V, with a recommended operating range of 4V to 60V. This allows safe operation across automotive battery transients (e.g., ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a) and industrial 48V systems. Exceeding 65V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Does the LTC3890EUH#TRPBF support phase synchronization with external clocks?
Yes, the LTC3890EUH#TRPBF supports full phase-lock synchronization via its PLLIN/MODE pin. When an external clock is applied, the internal phase-locked loop aligns the rising edge of TG1 to that clock's rising edge, enabling precise interleaving across multiple controllers. Frequency lock range is 75kHz to 850kHz, verified in production testing.
How does the LTC3890EUH#TRPBF achieve 50µA quiescent current?
The LTC3890EUH#TRPBF achieves 50µA quiescent current in single-channel sleep mode through integrated low-power circuitry: a 20µA FREQ pin pull-up, 1µA TRACK/SS pull-up, and optimized bias networks in its current-mode control loop. This value is measured per Electrical Characteristics table (Rev. D, p.3) with one channel enabled and no load, meeting AEC-Q100 low-power requirements.
Can the LTC3890EUH#TRPBF operate with only one output active?
Yes, the LTC3890EUH#TRPBF supports independent channel control: RUN1 and RUN2 pins allow individual enable/disable of each controller. With RUN2 grounded and RUN1 pulled high, only Channel 1 operates - drawing 50µA IQ and delivering full functionality (soft-start, PGOOD, current limit) for its output, while Channel 2 remains fully disabled.
What package type and thermal characteristics does the LTC3890EUH#TRPBF use?
The LTC3890EUH#TRPBF uses a 32-lead 5mm × 5mm plastic QFN (UH package) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 33 = SGND). Its thermal resistance is θJA = 34°C/W when properly soldered to a 4-layer PCB with 1-in² copper pour under the pad, enabling operation up to +125°C junction temperature per datasheet specifications.
