Product details
Overview
LTC3890IUH#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–24V adjustable range, 50µA quiescent current (one channel active), and out-of-phase operation to reduce input ripple. Used in automotive always-on systems requiring high efficiency at light loads.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3890IUH#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3890IUH#TRPBF pinout, LTC3890IUH#TRPBF application, or LTC3890IUH#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, dual-channel phase-lockable frequency (75–850kHz), RSENSE/DCR sensing flexibility, and selectable Burst Mode®/pulse-skipping/continuous operation for battery-sensitive designs.
Technical Context
The LTC3890IUH#TRPBF implements a constant-frequency current-mode architecture with two independent controllers operating 180° out-of-phase to minimize input capacitor RMS current and power supply noise. Each channel features OPTI-LOOP® compensation, precision 0.8V reference (±1%), and independent TRACK/SS pins for soft-start or voltage tracking.
It supports three light-load modes via PLLIN/MODE pin: Burst Mode® (50µA IQ), pulse-skipping, or forced continuous conduction. Current sensing uses differential SENSE+/- inputs with programmable thresholds (22–85mV) set by ILIM pin state (GND/FLOAT/INTVCC), and includes output overvoltage protection and 99% dropout duty cycle capability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 4V to 60V (65V absolute max); supports wide battery chemistries and intermediate bus voltages. |
| Quiescent Current | 50µA (one channel active); extends runtime in always-on automotive systems. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.8V ≤ VOUT ≤ 24V; enables flexible dual-rail generation (e.g., 8.5V + 3.3V). |
| Switching Frequency | 75kHz–850kHz (phase-lockable); allows EMI optimization and compact magnetics. |
| Current Sensing | RSENSE or DCR; supports low-loss, high-accuracy inductor current monitoring. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C junction; qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade I for automotive under-hood use. |
| Package | 32-lead 5mm × 5mm QFN (UH); 0.75mm profile enables space-constrained PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
32-lead (5mm × 5mm) plastic QFN package with exposed pad (Pin 33 = SGND), rated for –40°C to +125°C operating junction temperature. Exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground for thermal performance (θJA = 34°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SENSE1– / SENSE2– (1, 9) | Differential current sense (–) input | Biases comparator; supplies current when > INTVCC – 0.5V; enables accurate DCR/RSENSE sensing. |
| FREQ (2) | VCO frequency control | Resistor-to-GND sets 50–900kHz; GND = 350kHz, INTVCC = 535kHz; internal 20µA pull-up. |
| PLLIN/MODE (5) | Sync input / light-load mode select | External clock sync; GND = Burst Mode®, INTVCC = continuous, mid-voltage = pulse-skipping. |
| SGND (6, 33) | Small-signal ground | Common reference for analog circuitry; exposed pad (33) must be soldered to PCB ground plane. |
| RUN1 / RUN2 (7, 8) | Independent enable control | Below 1.15V/1.20V disables respective channel; both < 0.7V shuts down entire IC (IQ < 14µA). |
| INTVCC (19) | Internal LDO output | 5.1V ±2.5% regulated supply for gate drivers and logic; requires ≥4.7µF ceramic decoupling. |
| EXTVCC (20) | External bias input | Bypasses VIN LDO when > 4.7V; enables efficient self-bias from output rails (e.g., 8.5V rail). |
| PGOOD1 / PGOOD2 (14, 27) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Asserts low when VFB deviates > ±10% from setpoint; supports system sequencing and fault reporting. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Out-of-phase dual controllers | Reduces required input capacitance by ~50% and lowers RMS input ripple current in multi-phase systems. |
| OPTI-LOOP® compensation | Enables stable loop response across wide output capacitor ESR and capacitance ranges without external tuning. |
| Programmable current limit | Three threshold options (22/43/64mV) via ILIM pin (GND/FLOAT/INTVCC); prevents MOSFET overstress during short-circuit. |

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 version; identical pinout and feature set except second channel removed. | Suitable only for single-rail designs; lacks dual independent TRACK/SS and PGOOD outputs. | Select when only one regulated output is needed and board layout reuse is critical. |
| MPQ8645PGU-AEC1-Z | Monolithic dual buck (integrated MOSFETs); 4.5–60V input; 500kHz fixed freq; no phase-lock or DCR sensing. | Lower BOM count but limited to 5A/channel; no RSENSE option or programmable light-load modes. | Choose for cost-sensitive, lower-current (<5A) automotive applications where integration outweighs flexibility. |
Compared with LTC3890IUH#TRPBF, LTC3891IUH#TRPBF reduces channel count while retaining identical thermal and timing behavior, whereas MPQ8645PGU-AEC1-Z trades external MOSFET flexibility and advanced light-load control for monolithic simplicity and smaller footprint.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC3890IUH#TRPBF?
The LTC3890IUH#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input supply voltage (VIN) of 65V, with a recommended operating range of 4V to 60V. This wide range accommodates 12V, 24V, and 48V battery systems and intermediate bus architectures. Exceeding 65V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
How does the LTC3890IUH#TRPBF achieve ultra-low quiescent current?
The LTC3890IUH#TRPBF achieves 50µA quiescent current (one channel active) through optimized biasing of internal regulators and shutdown logic. In Sleep Mode, unused circuitry is gated, and the INTVCC LDO operates at minimal current. Shutdown (both RUN pins < 0.7V) reduces IQ to <14µA, critical for automotive always-on systems.
Can the LTC3890IUH#TRPBF synchronize to an external clock?
Yes - the LTC3890IUH#TRPBF supports external synchronization via the PLLIN/MODE pin. When an external clock is applied, the internal phase-locked loop aligns the rising edge of TG1 with the external clock's rising edge. This enables precise timing coordination across multiple converters in noise-sensitive or EMI-constrained systems.
What current sensing methods does the LTC3890IUH#TRPBF support?
The LTC3890IUH#TRPBF supports both RSENSE (shunt resistor) and DCR (inductor winding resistance) current sensing via differential SENSE+/- inputs. The current threshold is programmable (22/43/64mV) using the ILIM pin state (GND/FLOAT/INTVCC), enabling optimization for accuracy, power loss, or cost in each application.
Is the LTC3890IUH#TRPBF pin-compatible with other variants in the LTC3890 family?
Yes - all LTC3890 variants (E/I/H/MP grades, #PBF/#TRPBF/#WPBF suffixes) share identical 32-pin UH QFN packaging and pinout. The LTC3890IUH#TRPBF differs only in temperature grade (–40°C to +125°C) and tape-and-reel packaging; electrical functionality and layout compatibility are fully maintained across the family.
