Product details
Overview
LTC3890IUH-2#TRPBF from Analog Devices 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 0.8V–24V adjustable output voltage per channel, achieves 50µA quiescent current in single-channel sleep mode, and supports out-of-phase operation to reduce input ripple-ideal for automotive always-on systems and battery-powered digital devices.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3890IUH-2#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3890IUH-2#TRPBF pinout, LTC3890IUH-2#TRPBF application, or LTC3890IUH-2#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, dual-channel phase-lockable frequency (75kHz–850kHz), selectable light-load modes (Burst Mode®, pulse-skipping, continuous), RSENSE/DCR sensing flexibility, and 99% duty-cycle dropout capability.
Technical Context
The LTC3890IUH-2#TRPBF implements a constant-frequency current-mode architecture with independent error amplifiers (ITH1/ITH2), dual differential current comparators (SENSE1+/−, SENSE2+/−), and OPTI-LOOP® compensation for wide output capacitance/ESR tolerance. Each channel features dedicated TRACK/SS pins for soft-start or voltage tracking, and PGOOD1/PGOOD2 open-drain monitors with ±10% trip hysteresis.
Its dual 180° out-of-phase switching minimizes input capacitor RMS current and power supply noise; the internal LDO powers gate drivers from VIN or EXTVCC (switchover at 4.7V), and the ILIM pin selects one of three current-sense thresholds (22mV/43mV/64mV) for both channels simultaneously.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 60V - supports 12V/24V/48V battery buses and intermediate industrial rails without external pre-regulation. |
| Quiescent Current (Sleep) | 50µA (one channel active) - extends runtime in always-on automotive modules and portable instrumentation. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.8V to 24V per channel - enables direct generation of logic, I/O, and analog supply rails from wide-input sources. |
| Switching Frequency | 75kHz to 850kHz (phase-lockable) - allows EMI optimization and compact magnetics design across diverse load profiles. |
| Duty Cycle Max | 99% - sustains regulation during deep dropout (e.g., cold-crank 4.5V input with 3.3V output). |
| Current Sense Threshold | Selectable 22mV / 43mV / 64mV via ILIM pin - balances accuracy vs. power loss in RSENSE-based designs. |

Package: 32-lead (5mm × 5mm) plastic QFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 33 = SGND), 0.75mm profile - optimized for high-power density and thermal performance in space-constrained PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SENSE1– / SENSE2– (1, 9) | Differential current comparator (–) input | Supplies bias current when > INTVCC – 0.5V; enables ground-referenced DCR sensing without VFB dependency. |
| FREQ (2) | VCO frequency control | Resistor-to-GND sets 50–900kHz; GND = 350kHz, INTVCC = 535kHz - enables precise EMI management. |
| PHASMD (3) | Phase relationship selector | Configures TG2/CLKOUT phase offset vs TG1 (180°/240°/floating = 90°) for multi-phase synchronization. |
| PLLIN/MODE (5) | Sync input & light-load mode control | External clock sync or selects Burst Mode® (GND/floating), pulse-skipping (1.2V–INTVCC–1.3V), or forced CCM (INTVCC). |
| RUN1 / RUN2 (7, 8) | Independent channel enable | Shuts down individual controller below 1.15V/1.20V; both < 0.7V enters 14µA shutdown - supports dynamic power partitioning. |
| TRACK/SS1 / TRACK/SS2 (13, 29) | Soft-start & voltage tracking input | Internal 1µA pull-up; capacitor-to-GND sets ramp time; resistor divider enables output tracking of external rail. |
| PGOOD1 / PGOOD2 (14, 27) | Open-drain power-good monitor | Asserts low when VFB deviates > ±10% from setpoint - provides reliable sequencing feedback for downstream logic. |
| ILIM (28) | Current limit threshold select | GND/FLOAT/INTVCC selects 22mV/64mV/43mV max sense voltage - simplifies current-limit tuning across variants. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3890EUH-2#TRPBF | Same silicon, commercial-grade (–40°C to +125°C), non-AEC-Q100 qualified | Suitable for industrial or consumer equipment without automotive reliability requirements | Select when AEC-Q100 is not mandated and cost sensitivity favors commercial grade. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC3890IUH-2#TRPBF?
The LTC3890IUH-2#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage (VIN) rating of 65V, with a recommended operating range of 4V to 60V. This allows direct connection to 48V industrial buses and automotive 12V/24V systems-including transient-tolerant operation during load dump events up to 65V without damage, provided external protection (e.g., TVS) is used per design guidelines.
Does the LTC3890IUH-2#TRPBF support external clock synchronization?
Yes, the LTC3890IUH-2#TRPBF supports external clock synchronization via the PLLIN/MODE pin. When an external clock signal is applied, the internal phase-locked loop locks TG1's rising edge to the external clock's rising edge, enabling deterministic EMI placement and multi-controller coherence. The supported sync frequency range is 75kHz to 850kHz, matching its internal programmable range.
How does the ILIM pin affect current limiting on the LTC3890IUH-2#TRPBF?
The ILIM pin on the LTC3890IUH-2#TRPBF selects one of three fixed current-sense voltage thresholds-22mV (ILIM = GND), 43mV (ILIM = FLOAT), or 64mV (ILIM = INTVCC)-for both channels simultaneously. This directly sets the peak inductor current trip point in conjunction with the RSENSE value, enabling consistent overcurrent protection scaling without recalculating sense resistors across variants.
Can the LTC3890IUH-2#TRPBF operate with only one channel enabled?
Yes, the LTC3890IUH-2#TRPBF supports independent channel control via RUN1 and RUN2 pins. Pulling RUN1 low disables Channel 1 while Channel 2 remains fully operational-and vice versa. In single-channel sleep mode, quiescent current drops to 50µA, making it ideal for asymmetric power architectures like hybrid SoC + peripheral rail systems.
What is the purpose of the exposed thermal pad (Pin 33) on the LTC3890IUH-2#TRPBF?
The exposed thermal pad (Pin 33) on the LTC3890IUH-2#TRPBF is electrically connected to SGND and must be soldered to a PCB copper pour for thermal and electrical integrity. It reduces θJA from 34°C/W to ≤20°C/W in typical layouts, enabling reliable operation at full load in +85°C ambient environments and preventing thermal shutdown during sustained 5A/3A dual-channel output conditions.
