Product details
Overview
LTC3890MPGN-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 LTC3890MPGN-1#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3890MPGN-1#TRPBF pinout, LTC3890MPGN-1#TRPBF application, or LTC3890MPGN-1#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its –55°C to 150°C extended temperature grade, dual-channel phase-lockable frequency (75–850 kHz), RSENSE/DCR current sensing flexibility, and programmable light-load modes (Burst Mode®, pulse-skipping, or forced continuous).
Technical Context
The LTC3890MPGN-1#TRPBF implements a constant-frequency current-mode architecture with two independent 180° out-of-phase controllers, minimizing input capacitor 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 feedback voltage of 0.792–0.812 V across temperature.
It integrates dual gate drivers (TG/BG) with 2.5 Ω pull-up and 1.5 Ω pull-down on TG, 2.4 Ω/1.1 Ω on BG, minimum on-time of 95 ns, and internal LDOs supporting both VIN- and EXTVCC-derived INTVCC (5.1 V ±3%). The device includes dedicated SENSE+/– differential inputs per channel, independent TRACK/SS pins for soft-start or tracking, and PGOOD1 monitoring with ±10% trip threshold.
Key Specifications

| Quiescent Current (1 ch active) | 50 µA - extends runtime in always-on automotive or IoT edge nodes with single-output operation. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.8 V ≤ VOUT ≤ 24 V - enables generation of core, I/O, and auxiliary rails from one controller. |
| Switching Frequency Range | 75 kHz to 850 kHz - adjustable via resistor or external clock; out-of-phase operation cuts input ripple by ~70% vs in-phase. |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +150°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial control, and harsh-environment power systems. |

| FREQ (5) | Frequency programming | Resistor-to-GND sets 50–900 kHz; GND = 350 kHz, INTVCC = 535 kHz - enables EMI tuning without external clock. |
| PLLIN/MODE (6) | Sync input / light-load mode select | Accepts external clock (75–850 kHz) or DC voltage: GND = Burst Mode, INTVCC = forced CCM, 1.2–3.8 V = pulse-skipping. |
| RUN1, RUN2 (8, 9) | Digital enable/disable | Independent channel control; <1.15 V shuts down channel; <0.7 V disables full IC with 14 µA shutdown IQ. |
| TRACK/SS1, TRACK/SS2 (14, 28) | Soft-start / tracking input | Internal 1 µA pull-up charges external cap for linear ramp; also accepts resistor divider for supply tracking. |

| TG1, TG2 (15, 26) | Top gate driver output | Drives N-channel high-side MOSFET gates; swing = INTVCC – 0.5 V superimposed on SW node - requires bootstrap capacitor. |
| BG1, BG2 (18, 23) | Bottom gate driver output | Drives N-channel low-side MOSFET gates; swing = 0 V to INTVCC - directly referenced to PGND. |
| SW1, SW2 (16, 25) | Switch node | Connects to inductor and bootstrap capacitor; handles high dv/dt; must be routed with minimal loop area. |
| BOOST1, BOOST2 (17, 24) | Bootstrap supply | Charged via external Schottky diode during low-side conduction; supplies floating top-gate drive. |
| VIN (22) | Main input supply | Primary power source for INTVCC LDO and logic; bypassed with ≥4.7 µF ceramic to SGND. |
| EXTVCC (20) | External bias input | Enables higher-efficiency INTVCC sourcing (e.g., from output rail); switchover at 4.7 V with 250 mV hysteresis. |
| INTVCC (19) | Internal LDO output | 5.1 V ±3% regulated supply for drivers and analog circuitry; requires ≥4.7 µF low-ESR decoupling. |
| PGND (21) | Power ground | High-current return path for bottom FETs and input capacitors - must be separate from SGND plane. |
| SGND (7) | Signal ground | Analog reference for feedback, error amp, and sense circuits - routed separately to avoid noise coupling. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC3890MPGN-1#TRPBF?
The LTC3890MPGN-1#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input supply voltage (VIN) of 65 V, with a recommended operating range of 4 V to 60 V. This allows robust operation across 12 V, 24 V, and 48 V battery and bus systems, including automotive cold-crank and load-dump transients when properly clamped externally.
Does the LTC3890MPGN-1#TRPBF support synchronization to an external clock?
Yes, the LTC3890MPGN-1#TRPBF supports external synchronization via the PLLIN/MODE pin, accepting clock signals from 75 kHz to 850 kHz. When an external clock is applied, the phase-locked loop aligns the rising edge of TG1 with the external clock's rising edge - enabling EMI reduction through frequency dithering or system-level timing coordination.
How does the LTC3890MPGN-1#TRPBF achieve ultra-low quiescent current?
The LTC3890MPGN-1#TRPBF achieves 50 µA quiescent current with one channel active by entering Sleep Mode: the error amplifier disconnects from ITH, internal circuitry powers down, and gate drivers halt. In full shutdown (both RUN pins <0.7 V), IQ drops to <14 µA - validated across its –55°C to +150°C operating range.
Can the LTC3890MPGN-1#TRPBF drive high-side N-channel MOSFETs without external level shifters?
Yes, the LTC3890MPGN-1#TRPBF integrates floating high-side gate drivers (TG1/TG2) with bootstrap circuitry. Each TG pin delivers a voltage swing equal to INTVCC – 0.5 V superimposed on the SW node, enabling direct drive of N-channel MOSFETs without external level shifters - provided proper bootstrap capacitor and Schottky diode are used per channel.
What is the function of the EXTVCC pin on the LTC3890MPGN-1#TRPBF?
The EXTVCC pin on the LTC3890MPGN-1#TRPBF allows the internal INTVCC LDO to be powered from an external supply (e.g., one of the LTC3890MPGN-1#TRPBF's own output rails). When EXTVCC exceeds 4.7 V, the VIN-based LDO turns off and the EXTVCC-based LDO activates - improving overall system efficiency by avoiding linear regulation losses from high VIN.
