Product details
Overview
LTC3890HGN-1#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-performance dual-phase synchronous step-down DC/DC controller driving all-N-channel MOSFET stages. It supports 4V–60V input, delivers two independent outputs (e.g., 3.3V/5A and 8.5V/3A), operates with 50µA quiescent current in single-channel sleep mode, and features out-of-phase operation to reduce input ripple-ideal for automotive always-on systems and battery-powered digital devices.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3890HGN-1#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3890HGN-1#TRPBF pinout, LTC3890HGN-1#TRPBF application, or LTC3890HGN-1#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 150°C junction-rated SSOP-28 package, phase-lockable 75kHz–850kHz switching frequency, selectable light-load modes (Burst/Pulse-Skipping/Continuous), RSENSE or DCR current sensing, and dual independent TRACK/SS pins for soft-start and voltage tracking.
Technical Context
The LTC3890HGN-1#TRPBF implements a constant-frequency current-mode architecture with two independent 180° out-of-phase controllers, minimizing input capacitance requirements and supply-induced noise. Each channel uses an error amplifier (EA) with OPTI-LOOP® compensation, a transconductance gm of 2 mmho, and a regulated 0.800V feedback reference (±1.2% over temperature).
Its dual gate drivers support synchronous N-MOSFET top/bottom switches with 2.5Ω TG pull-up, 1.5Ω TG pull-down, 2.4Ω BG pull-up, and 1.1Ω BG pull-down on-resistance. The internal INTVCC LDO delivers 5.1V ±3% from VIN or EXTVCC (switchover at 4.7V), enabling efficient self-biasing from output rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 4V to 60V - supports wide-input industrial, automotive, and battery chemistries including 12V/24V/48V buses. |
| Quiescent Current | 50µA (one channel active) - extends runtime in always-on battery systems like telematics or ADAS sensors. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.8V to 24V - enables flexible dual-rail generation (e.g., 3.3V + 8.5V) without external DACs or regulators. |
| Switching Frequency | 75kHz–850kHz (phase-lockable) - allows EMI optimization and inductor size reduction while supporting synchronization to system clocks. |
| Max Duty Cycle | 99% - supports ultra-low dropout operation (e.g., 12V→11.5V) critical in high-voltage input, low-VOUT applications. |
| Junction Temp Range | –40°C to +150°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial environments requiring extended thermal robustness. |
| Current Sense | RSENSE or DCR - eliminates need for dedicated sense resistors in high-current designs, reducing power loss and board area. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-lead plastic SSOP (GN), 5.6mm × 10.2mm, 0.635mm pitch, rated for –40°C to +150°C junction temperature.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ITH1, ITH2 | Error amplifier output / compensation node | Controls peak inductor current per channel; connects to RC network for loop stability tuning. |
| VFB1, VFB2 | Feedback input | Monitors output via resistor divider; regulates to precise 0.800V reference (±1.2%) across temperature. |
| SENSE1+, SENSE1− SENSE2+, SENSE2− | Differential current sense inputs | Supports high-accuracy current limiting using either shunt resistors or DCR networks on power inductors. |
| PLLIN/MODE | Light-load mode select / sync input | Selects Burst Mode (ground), Pulse-Skipping (1.2V–INTVCC–1.3V), or Continuous (INTVCC); accepts external clock for phase-locking. |
| RUN1, RUN2 | Independent enable control | Digital shutdown pins: <1.15V disables one channel; both <0.7V reduces IQ to 14µA for full system standby. |
| TRACK/SS1, TRACK/SS2 | Soft-start and tracking input | Internal 1µA pull-up charges external capacitor for controlled ramp-up; accepts external voltage divider for output tracking. |
| TG1, TG2 BG1, BG2 | Top/bottom gate drivers | Drive N-MOSFET gates with fast 25ns rise/fall times; TG swings from SW node, BG from PGND. |
| BOOST1, BOOST2 | Floating bootstrap supply | Provides gate drive above SW for top MOSFETs; requires external bootstrap capacitor and Schottky diode. |
| PGOOD1 | Open-drain power-good indicator | Asserts low when VFB1 deviates >±10% from regulation - enables sequencing and fault reporting. |
Key Features

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3890IGN-1#TRPBF | Same functionality and pinout, but rated for –40°C to +125°C junction temperature (vs. +150°C for H-grade). | Suitable for commercial/industrial environments without extreme thermal stress; lower cost where 150°C is not required. | Select when ambient temperatures remain below 105°C and full automotive under-hood qualification is unnecessary. |
| MP2918GL-Z | Single-chip dual-phase controller with integrated MOSFET drivers only; lacks RSENSE/DCR flexibility, no TRACK/SS pins, and fixed 0.6V reference. | Targets cost-sensitive, space-constrained consumer electronics; no support for precision tracking or wide-VOUT adjustment. | Choose only for simple, low-cost dual-rail needs where external current sensing and soft-start control are not required. |
Compared with LTC3890IGN-1#TRPBF, the LTC3890HGN-1#TRPBF provides extended thermal margin for harsh environments, while MP2918GL-Z trades configurability and precision for integration and BOM simplicity-making the H-grade optimal for automotive and high-reliability industrial use cases.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC3890HGN-1#TRPBF?
The LTC3890HGN-1#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input supply voltage (VIN) of 65V, with a recommended operating range of 4V to 60V. This wide input range accommodates 12V, 24V, and 48V industrial and automotive buses, including transient conditions like load dump. Operation beyond 60V risks exceeding safe operating area limits and is not guaranteed.
Does the LTC3890HGN-1#TRPBF support output voltage tracking between its two channels?
Yes, the LTC3890HGN-1#TRPBF supports independent voltage tracking via dedicated TRACK/SS1 and TRACK/SS2 pins. Each pin accepts an external voltage reference (e.g., from another regulator's output) through a resistor divider, allowing the corresponding output to ramp up in precise proportion-critical for FPGA or processor core/I/O rail sequencing. An internal 1µA pull-up enables capacitor-based soft-start when pins are left open.
How does the LTC3890HGN-1#TRPBF achieve low quiescent current in battery-powered applications?
The LTC3890HGN-1#TRPBF achieves 50µA quiescent current with one channel active and 60µA with both active by entering a deep sleep mode when light loads trigger the PLLIN/MODE pin's Burst Mode function. In this state, internal circuitry-including error amplifiers and oscillators-is gated off while maintaining regulation via output capacitance. Shutdown (both RUN pins <0.7V) further reduces IQ to <14µA.
Can the LTC3890HGN-1#TRPBF be synchronized to an external clock source?
Yes, the LTC3890HGN-1#TRPBF supports external synchronization via the PLLIN/MODE pin. When an external clock signal (75kHz–850kHz) is applied, the internal phase-locked loop aligns the rising edge of TG1 to the external clock's rising edge-enabling noise-sensitive systems (e.g., audio, RF) to avoid beat frequencies. The second channel automatically operates 180° out-of-phase for optimal input ripple cancellation.
What package and temperature grade does the LTC3890HGN-1#TRPBF use?
The LTC3890HGN-1#TRPBF uses a 28-lead plastic SSOP (GN) package and is specified for a junction temperature range of –40°C to +150°C. This H-grade qualification makes it suitable for under-hood automotive applications and high-ambient industrial environments where standard I-grade (–40°C to +125°C) parts may fail prematurely due to thermal stress.
