Product details
Overview
LTC3890HUH#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 0.8V reference accuracy, 50µA quiescent current (one channel active), and 99% duty cycle dropout capability - enabling high-efficiency power conversion in automotive always-on systems and battery-powered digital devices.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3890HUH#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3890HUH#TRPBF pinout, LTC3890HUH#TRPBF application, or LTC3890HUH#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, out-of-phase dual-channel operation reducing input ripple, programmable frequency (50–900kHz), selectable light-load modes (Burst/Pulse-Skipping/Continuous), and integrated OPTI-LOOP® compensation for wide output capacitor ESR tolerance.
Technical Context
The LTC3890HUH#TRPBF implements a constant-frequency current-mode architecture with two independent controllers operating 180° out-of-phase to minimize input capacitance requirements and supply-induced noise. Each channel features separate TRACK/SS pins for soft-start or voltage tracking, ITH-based current limit control, and dual sensing options (RSENSE or DCR).
Its internal 5.1V LDO powers gate drivers from VIN or EXTVCC (switchover at 4.7V), while the PLLIN/MODE pin selects light-load behavior - Burst Mode® (50µA IQ), pulse-skipping, or forced continuous conduction. The device supports phase-locking to external clocks (75–850kHz) and includes precision 0.8V feedback references with ±10% PGOOD monitoring.

Pinout & Package
Package: 32-lead (5mm × 5mm) plastic QFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 33 = SGND), 0.75mm profile, rated for –40°C to +150°C junction temperature.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SENSE1– / SENSE2– (1, 9) | Differential current sense (–) input | Supplies bias current when > INTVCC – 0.5V; enables accurate current foldback during short-circuit conditions. |
| FREQ (2) | VCO frequency programming | Resistor-to-GND sets 50–900kHz; direct tie to GND/INTVCC fixes 350/535kHz - simplifies frequency selection without external clock source. |
| PLLIN/MODE (5) | Sync input & light-load mode select | Accepts external clock (75–850kHz) or configures Burst/Pulse-Skipping/Continuous mode - critical for EMI-sensitive or low-power applications. |
| SGND (6, 33) | Small-signal ground reference | Must be routed separately from PGND to avoid noise coupling into error amplifier and current sense paths. |
| RUN1 / RUN2 (7, 8) | Independent channel enable | Logic-level shutdown (≤1.16V/≤1.20V) with 7µA/0.5µA internal pull-up - supports flexible sequencing and always-on configurations. |
| TRACK/SS1 / TRACK/SS2 (29, 13) | Soft-start & tracking control | Internal 1µA pull-up charges external capacitor for linear ramp; also accepts resistor divider for output voltage tracking - ensures controlled startup in multi-rail systems. |
| PGOOD1 / PGOOD2 (27, 14) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Asserts low when VFB deviates >±10% from setpoint - provides system-level fault detection without additional supervision ICs. |
| ILIM (28) | Current limit threshold select | Tie to SGND/FLOAT/INTVCC to set max sense voltage to 22/43/64mV - allows scalable overcurrent protection matching MOSFET RDS(on) or sense resistor values. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Qualified (H-grade) | Rated for –40°C to +150°C junction temperature - validated for under-hood automotive applications requiring high reliability. |
| Out-of-phase dual controllers | Reduces RMS input ripple current by ~70% versus in-phase operation - cuts required input capacitance and lowers EMI filter cost/size. |
| OPTI-LOOP® compensation | Enables stable loop response across wide range of output capacitor types and ESR values - eliminates need for custom compensation networks. |
| Low dropout operation | 99% duty cycle with dropout detector recharging bootstrap caps - maintains regulation even when VIN approaches VOUT (e.g., 12V→11.5V). |
| Independent soft-start/tracking | Separate TRACK/SS pins per channel allow staggered startup or precise voltage sequencing - prevents bus contention in multi-supply systems. |
| Three light-load modes | Burst Mode® (50µA IQ), pulse-skipping, or forced continuous - lets designers optimize efficiency vs. output ripple based on real-time load demands. |

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 | Same pinout, identical functionality, but rated for –40°C to +125°C (I-grade) instead of +150°C (H-grade). | Suitable for non-automotive industrial applications where ambient temperature does not exceed 105°C. | Select when AEC-Q100 qualification and extended temperature operation are not required - lower cost and broader distributor availability. |
| MP8772GQ-10-Z | Single-channel 60V controller with integrated MOSFETs; no dual-phase or out-of-phase capability; 100µA IQ (vs. 50µA). | Applicable only where dual-rail generation is handled by separate ICs or where board area constraints favor monolithic solutions. | Choose when integration priority outweighs efficiency and ripple performance - requires two units to match LTC3890HUH#TRPBF's dual-channel function. |
Compared with LTC3891IUH#TRPBF, the LTC3890HUH#TRPBF offers guaranteed operation up to +150°C junction temperature and AEC-Q100 compliance for automotive use; compared with MP8772GQ-10-Z, it delivers superior input ripple reduction, lower quiescent current, and true dual-channel independence - making it optimal for high-reliability, thermally demanding, or EMI-sensitive dual-rail systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature specification for the LTC3890HUH#TRPBF?
The LTC3890HUH#TRPBF is rated for a maximum junction temperature of +150°C and is qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade H. This specification is explicitly confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and supported by temperature-grade marking (HUH suffix). Operation beyond this limit risks permanent damage and violates the device's guaranteed performance envelope.
Does the LTC3890HUH#TRPBF support synchronization to an external clock source?
Yes, the LTC3890HUH#TRPBF supports external clock synchronization via the PLLIN/MODE pin, accepting input frequencies from 75kHz to 850kHz. When an external clock is applied, the internal phase-locked loop aligns the rising edge of TG1 with the rising edge of that clock - enabling deterministic EMI placement and multi-phase coherence in complex power systems.
How does the ILIM pin affect current limiting on the LTC3890HUH#TRPBF?
The ILIM pin on the LTC3890HUH#TRPBF selects one of three maximum current sense thresholds: 22mV (ILIM = SGND), 43mV (ILIM = FLOAT), or 64mV (ILIM = INTVCC). This setting applies identically to both channels and directly determines the peak inductor current trip point - allowing scalable overcurrent protection matched to MOSFET RDS(on) or sense resistor values without external components.
Can the LTC3890HUH#TRPBF operate with only one channel enabled?
Yes, the LTC3890HUH#TRPBF supports independent channel control via RUN1 and RUN2 pins. Pulling RUN1 below 1.16V disables Channel 1 while leaving Channel 2 fully operational, and vice versa. In single-channel mode, quiescent current drops to 50µA - making it ideal for partial-load scenarios or redundant power architectures.
What is the purpose of the exposed thermal pad (Pin 33) on the LTC3890HUH#TRPBF package?
The exposed thermal pad (Pin 33) on the LTC3890HUH#TRPBF is electrically connected to SGND and must be soldered to a PCB ground plane to achieve specified thermal performance (θJA = 34°C/W). Failure to connect this pad results in excessive junction temperature rise, reduced reliability, and potential violation of the +150°C maximum rating - especially under sustained high-load conditions.
