Product details
Overview
LTC3890MPUH-2#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a high-performance, dual-phase synchronous step-down DC/DC controller designed for automotive and industrial power systems. It supports 4V–60V input, delivers two independent outputs (e.g., 8.5V/3.3V), operates with 50µA quiescent current in single-channel sleep mode, features out-of-phase operation to reduce input ripple, and is AEC-Q100 qualified for –55°C to 150°C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3890MPUH-2#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3890MPUH-2#TRPBF pinout, LTC3890MPUH-2#TRPBF application, or LTC3890MPUH-2#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-channel phase-lockable architecture (75–850kHz), selectable light-load modes (Burst/Pulse-Skipping/Continuous), RSENSE/DCR current sensing, and robust automotive-grade thermal and reliability specs.
Technical Context
The LTC3890MPUH-2#TRPBF implements a constant-frequency current-mode control architecture with two independent controllers operating 180° out-of-phase to minimize input capacitor RMS current and EMI. Each channel features dedicated ITH error amplifier outputs, TRACK/SS pins for soft-start or voltage tracking, and programmable current limit via ILIM pin selection (GND/FLOAT/INTVCC).
Its dual-phase topology enables high-current distributed power delivery while maintaining low-noise operation; the internal 5.1V INTVCC LDO can be powered from VIN or an external EXTVCC supply ≥4.7V, improving system efficiency. The device supports precise output regulation (±1% VFB accuracy over temperature) and includes independent PGOOD1/PGOOD2 open-drain monitors with ±10% trip thresholds and 25µs fault reporting delay.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 4V to 60V - supports wide battery chemistries (12V/24V/48V systems) and intermediate bus voltages without external pre-regulation. |
| Quiescent Current | 50µA (one channel active) - extends runtime in always-on automotive modules like telematics or ADAS sensors. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.8V to 24V per channel - enables flexible generation of logic rails (3.3V), analog supplies (5V/8.5V), and higher-voltage subsystems. |
| Switching Frequency | 75kHz to 850kHz (phase-lockable) - allows EMI optimization and compact magnetics design across diverse load conditions. |
| Duty Cycle Max | 99% - supports ultra-low dropout operation critical for cold-crank scenarios where VIN drops near VOUT. |
| Operating Temp | –55°C to 150°C (junction) - validated for under-hood automotive applications per AEC-Q100 Grade MP. |
| Package | 32-pin 5mm × 5mm QFN with exposed pad - provides low thermal resistance (θJA = 34°C/W) and space-efficient layout. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 32-lead (5mm × 5mm) plastic QFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 33 = SGND). Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB ground plane for rated thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SENSE1– / SENSE2– (1, 9) | Differential current sense (–) input | Accepts common-mode voltage up to 28V; supplies bias current when > INTVCC – 0.5V for accurate DCR/RSENSE sensing. |
| FREQ (2) | Oscillator frequency programming | Resistor-to-GND sets 50–900kHz; internal 20µA pull-up enables fixed 350kHz (GND) or 535kHz (INTVCC) operation. |
| PHASMD (3) | Phase relationship selector | Configures TG2/CLKOUT phase offset vs TG1: 180°/60° (GND), 240°/120° (INTVCC), or 180°/90° (floating). |
| PLLIN/MODE (5) | Sync input & light-load mode control | Accepts external clock for synchronization; selects Burst Mode (GND/floating), Continuous (INTVCC), or Pulse-Skipping (1.2–INTVCC–1.3V). |
| RUN1 / RUN2 (7, 8) | Independent channel enable | Shuts down individual controller below 1.15V/1.20V; full shutdown (<0.7V both) reduces IQ to <14µA. |
| INTVCC (19) | Internal LDO output | 5.1V ±3% regulated supply for gate drivers and control circuitry; requires ≥4.7µF ceramic decoupling to SGND. |
| EXTVCC (20) | External LDO input | Bypasses VIN-powered LDO when >4.7V; switchover hysteresis is 250mV - enables efficient use of secondary converter outputs. |
| PGOOD1 / PGOOD2 (14, 27) | Open-drain power-good indicators | Assert low when VFB deviates >±10% from setpoint; 25µs response time ensures fast fault detection in safety-critical systems. |
| ILIM (28) | Current limit threshold select | Three levels: 22/43/64mV (GND/FLOAT/INTVCC) - enables scalable overcurrent protection across different MOSFET RDS(on) and sense resistor values. |
| TRACK/SS1 / TRACK/SS2 (13, 29) | Soft-start & voltage tracking input | Internal 1µA pull-up enables RC ramp; accepts external reference for coordinated startup with other rails (e.g., FPGA core/I/O sequencing). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Out-of-phase dual controllers | Reduces input capacitor RMS current by ~30% and suppresses power supply-induced noise in shared input buses. |

| Selectably optimized light-load efficiency | Burst Mode achieves >85% efficiency at 1mA load; Pulse-Skipping maintains low output ripple; Continuous avoids subharmonics. |
| Robust automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade MP (–55°C to 150°C) with tested reliability data - suitable for engine control units and infotainment head units. |
| Flexible current sensing | Supports both precision shunt resistors and lossless DCR sensing networks - eliminates need for separate current-sense amplifiers. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage supported by the LTC3890MPUH-2#TRPBF?
The LTC3890MPUH-2#TRPBF supports a minimum input voltage of 4V, enabling reliable operation during automotive cold-crank events where battery voltage dips to ~4.5V. Its 99% maximum duty cycle ensures regulation even when VIN approaches VOUT, making it suitable for low-dropout applications where input voltage margin is constrained.
How does the ILIM pin affect current limiting on the LTC3890MPUH-2#TRPBF?
The ILIM pin on the LTC3890MPUH-2#TRPBF selects one of three maximum current sense thresholds: 22mV (ILIM = GND), 43mV (ILIM = FLOAT), or 64mV (ILIM = INTVCC). This directly sets the peak inductor current trip point for both channels, allowing designers to match overcurrent protection to specific MOSFET RDS(on) or sense resistor values without changing feedback networks.
Can the LTC3890MPUH-2#TRPBF synchronize to an external clock source?
Yes, the LTC3890MPUH-2#TRPBF can synchronize to an external clock via the PLLIN/MODE pin. When an external signal is applied, the internal phase-locked loop aligns the rising edge of TG1 with the external clock's rising edge. This capability enables deterministic EMI reduction and coordinated switching across multiple power stages in complex systems.
What is the purpose of the PHASMD pin on the LTC3890MPUH-2#TRPBF?
The PHASMD pin on the LTC3890MPUH-2#TRPBF configures the phase relationship between the two controller channels and the CLKOUT signal. Pulling it to GND, INTVCC, or leaving it floating sets TG2 and CLKOUT to be 180°/60°, 240°/120°, or 180°/90° out-of-phase with TG1 - enabling optimal interleaving for reduced input/output ripple and thermal distribution.
Does the LTC3890MPUH-2#TRPBF support both RSENSE and DCR current sensing?
Yes, the LTC3890MPUH-2#TRPBF supports both RSENSE and DCR current sensing methods. Its differential SENSE+ and SENSE– inputs accept either a precision shunt resistor or a DCR network across the inductor, with common-mode voltage range up to 28V. This flexibility eliminates the need for external current-sense amplifiers and simplifies design across varying power levels and efficiency targets.
