Product details
Overview
LTC7852IUFD-1#PBF from Analog Devices is a dual-output, 6-phase current mode synchronous step-down controller optimized for DrMOS-based power delivery. It delivers precise 0.5V–2.0V output regulation with ±0.5% total accuracy, supports 250kHz–1.2MHz programmable switching frequency, and achieves 40ns minimum on-time for high-frequency, high-step-down-ratio operation in telecom and server CPU/GPU VR applications.
For engineers reviewing the LTC7852IUFD-1#PBF datasheet, LTC7852IUFD-1#PBF pinout, LTC7852IUFD-1#PBF application, or LTC7852IUFD-1#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its dedicated DrMOS current sensing architecture (SNSN = 1.5V internal bias), 36-pin QFN (4mm × 5mm) package with exposed thermal pad, dual differential remote sensing, hiccup-mode overcurrent protection, and flexible 4+2/3+3/5+1 phase configuration via PHCFG pin.
Technical Context
The LTC7852IUFD-1#PBF implements a proprietary current-mode control architecture with dual independent error amplifiers and two sets of remote sense differential amplifiers (VOSNS1±/VOSNS2±), each referenced to a precision 0.5V internal bandgap. Its DrMOS-optimized design integrates a 1.5V internal SNSN bias rail (pin 25) and eliminates external DCR sense filters-unlike the LTC7852 variant-simplifying layout while maintaining sub-milliohm current monitoring fidelity.
Phase interleaving is managed via PHCFG pin logic and an integrated PLL with internal loop filter; the CLKOUT signal enables deterministic multi-IC synchronization up to 12 phases. The controller uses a 20µA constant-current FREQ pin to set oscillator frequency and features dual independent soft-start (SS1/SS2) with 5µA pull-up and 0.45V threshold, plus hiccup-mode protection triggered by ITH voltage exceeding 2.2V under overload.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
36-lead plastic QFN (4mm × 5mm) with exposed thermal pad (pin 37). Package meets JEDEC MO-220WWGG variant standards and requires solder reflow per Analog Devices' QFN assembly guidelines. Thermal pad must be solidly connected to PCB ground plane for rated performance.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| 13, 36 | VCC, GND | Main 5V bias supply input and system ground reference; VCC bypass requires 0.1–1µF ceramic capacitor near pin; GND pad must be soldered. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual DrMOS-optimized current sensing | Integrated 1.5V SNSN bias rail eliminates external filter components and enables direct interface with industry-standard DrMOS current monitors. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output multiphase controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP2965GQ-10 | 4-phase max per output; no integrated PLL; requires external clock generator for multi-IC sync; 0.6V–3.6V VOUT range. | Targeted at cost-sensitive industrial SMPS; lacks DrMOS-optimized SNSN bias and dual remote sensing amplifiers. | Select MP2965GQ-10 only when phase count ≤4 per rail and external clock generation is acceptable; not suitable for high-accuracy server VRMs. |

FAQ
What is the function of the SNSN pin on the LTC7852IUFD-1#PBF?
The SNSN pin (pins 2 and 25) on the LTC7852IUFD-1#PBF provides an internally regulated 1.5V common-mode bias voltage for DrMOS current monitor differential outputs. Unlike the LTC7852 variant, this eliminates external filter networks and directly interfaces with industry-standard DrMOS devices such as the ISL99390 or IR35227, ensuring accurate sub-milliohm current sensing without layout sensitivity.
Can the LTC7852IUFD-1#PBF operate in single-output, 6-phase mode?
Yes, the LTC7852IUFD-1#PBF can operate in single-output, 6-phase mode by floating the PHCFG pin and externally connecting the ITH, VOSNS+, VOSNS−, RUN, ILIM, and SS pins between both outputs. This configuration enables up to 400A output when paralleled with a second LTC7852IUFD-1#PBF using CLKOUT/PLLIN synchronization-fully supported in the official Analog Devices application notes.
What is the minimum soft-start capacitor value required for the LTC7852IUFD-1#PBF?
The minimum soft-start capacitor value for the LTC7852IUFD-1#PBF is 22nF, connected from SS1 or SS2 to GND. An internal 5µA current source charges this capacitor, generating a linear voltage ramp; the output voltage VOUT tracks this ramp until it reaches the 0.5V reference, ensuring controlled startup into pre-biased loads without reverse current flow.
How does the LTC7852IUFD-1#PBF achieve ±0.5% output voltage accuracy?
The LTC7852IUFD-1#PBF achieves ±0.5% output voltage accuracy through dual precision elements: a trimmed 0.5V internal bandgap reference with <±10ppm/°C drift, and two matched unity-gain differential amplifiers (VOSNS1±/VOSNS2±) that reject PCB trace resistance errors. This accuracy holds across –40°C to 125°C junction temperature, line, and load variations-as verified in Analog Devices' production test flow.
Is the LTC7852IUFD-1#PBF pin-compatible with the LTC7852EUFD-1#PBF?
Yes, the LTC7852IUFD-1#PBF is pin-compatible with the LTC7852EUFD-1#PBF-both use identical 36-lead QFN (4mm × 5mm) packaging and share identical pin functions, electrical characteristics, and thermal specifications. The sole difference is temperature grade: 'I' grade is specified for –40°C to 125°C operation, while 'E' grade is rated for 0°C to 85°C.
