Product details
Overview
LTC7860EMSE#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a high-efficiency switching surge stopper IC that protects downstream loads from input overvoltage transients (e.g., automotive load dump) by regulating output voltage via external P-channel MOSFET control in PROTECTIVE PWM mode. It operates across 3.5V–60V input, delivers adjustable output clamping up to 18V, supports 50kHz–850kHz programmable switching frequency, and features integrated fault timer, soft-start, and overcurrent protection. Used in MIL-STD-1275 and ISO 7637-compliant vehicle power systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC7860EMSE#TRPBF datasheet, LTC7860EMSE#TRPBF pinout, LTC7860EMSE#TRPBF application, or LTC7860EMSE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include VIN range (3.5V–60V), VOUT clamp adjustability, 12-lead MSOP thermal performance, PROTECTIVE PWM vs. SWITCH-ON mode behavior, and fault timer programmability with TMR pin.
Technical Context
The LTC7860EMSE#TRPBF implements peak current-mode control with an internal 0.8V reference and transconductance error amplifier (1.8 mS). Its dual-mode operation-SWITCH-ON (100% duty cycle, minimal insertion loss) and PROTECTIVE PWM (regulated buck conversion during surges)-is governed by real-time sensing of VIN–SENSE differential voltage and feedback loop dynamics at VFB/VFBN.
It integrates a programmable fault timer (TMR pin, 30 µA pull-up, 1.29 V gate-off threshold), adjustable soft-start (10 µA SS pull-up current), and gate driver with 8 V (VIN–VCAP) bias LDO. The FREQ pin accepts resistor-programmed or fixed-frequency inputs (350 kHz grounded, 535 kHz floating), and foldback frequency drops to 18% of setpoint when VFB falls below 0.4 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 3.5 V to 60 V - Supports automotive battery rails and industrial 48 V systems without external level-shifting. |
| Switching Frequency | 50 kHz to 850 kHz - Programmable via FREQ pin resistor; enables EMI optimization and inductor size trade-offs. |
| Output Clamp Accuracy | ±4.5% over temperature - Ensures reliable load protection during 100 ms+ surges per MIL-STD-1275. |
| Current Limit Threshold | 95 mV ±10% at SENSE - Sets precise overcurrent trip point independent of MOSFET RDS(on). |
| Fault Timer Set Time | 37–50 ms/µF on TMR - Configurable cool-down and retry timing to prevent thermal runaway during sustained faults. |
| Junction Temp Range | –40°C to 125°C - Rated for under-hood automotive and industrial environments (E-grade). |
| Gate Driver Bias | VIN–VCAP = 8.0 V ±0.4 V - Provides stable gate drive for external P-MOSFETs even at low VIN (≥8 V). |
Pinout & Package
Package: 12-lead thermally enhanced MSOP with exposed PGND pad (Pin 13), rated θJA = 40°C/W and θJC = 10°C/W. Exposed pad must be soldered to PCB for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TMR (1) | Fault timer control node | 30 µA pull-up current charges external capacitor; 1.29 V threshold triggers shutdown; 240 mV restart threshold enables cool-down recovery. |
| FREQ (2) | Oscillator frequency programming | 20 µA current source sets frequency via RFREQ; grounding = 350 kHz, floating = 535 kHz, resistor = 50–850 kHz. |
| SGND (3) | Analog signal ground reference | Isolated small-signal return for VFB, ITH, SS; must connect to PGND at single-point to avoid noise coupling. |
| SS (4) | Soft-start and tracking input | 10 µA internal pull-up charges external capacitor; regulates VFB to SS voltage during ramp-up for controlled VOUT rise. |
| VFB (5) | Feedback sense input | Regulated to 0.800 V ±1.1%; determines output voltage via resistor divider; folds back frequency if <0.4 V. |
| ITH (6) | Error amplifier output & compensation | 0–2.9 V range; sums slope compensation to set peak inductor current; connects to external RC network for loop stability. |
| VFBN (7) | Inverting feedback reference | 0 V threshold; enables high-VIN (>60 V) operation via external transistor-based feedback; disable by tying >2 V. |
| RUN (8) | Enable/disable control | 1.26 V enable threshold; internal 0.4 µA pull-up allows direct connection to 60 V supply; <0.7 V forces micropower shutdown (7 µA). |
| CAP (9) | GATE driver bias supply | Internal LDO output referenced to VIN; requires ≥0.47 µF ceramic cap to VIN for stable 8 V gate drive. |
| SENSE (10) | Current sense input | Differential input (VIN–SENSE); 95 mV threshold sets overcurrent limit; Kelvin routing required for accuracy. |
| VIN (11) | Main power input | Supplies internal circuitry; requires ≥0.1 µF ceramic bypass to PGND; absolute max 65 V. |
| GATE (12) | P-MOSFET gate driver output | Drives external high-side P-channel MOSFET; rail-to-rail swing referenced to CAP; disabled below 3.25 V (VIN–VCAP). |
| PGND (13) | Power ground (exposed pad) | High-current return path for MOSFET source and internal power circuits; must be soldered for thermal performance and noise immunity. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar surge protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC4365IMS#PBF | Linear surge stopper; no inductor required; 3.5 V–60 V input; fixed 5.8 V or adjustable clamp; no PWM mode. | Better suited for low-current (<2 A), space-constrained designs where efficiency is secondary to simplicity. | Select LTC4365IMS#PBF when board area is critical and peak load current ≤1.5 A; LTC7860EMSE#TRPBF preferred for >3 A or high-efficiency requirements. |
| TPS43060RTER | Wide-input buck controller (4.5 V–60 V); no integrated surge timer or clamp-specific logic; requires external overvoltage comparator. | Requires additional ICs and layout effort to replicate PROTECTIVE PWM + fault timer functionality of LTC7860EMSE#TRPBF. | Choose TPS43060RTER only if existing design already uses TI ecosystem and needs flexible topology beyond surge stopper (e.g., synchronous buck with telemetry). |
Compared with LTC4365IMS#PBF, LTC7860EMSE#TRPBF delivers higher output current and lower thermal stress during surges but requires an inductor and more complex layout; versus TPS43060RTER, it provides turnkey surge protection logic and integrated fault management without external supervision circuitry.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC7860EMSE#TRPBF?
The LTC7860EMSE#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage (VIN) rating of 65 V, with guaranteed operation from 3.5 V to 60 V. External components-including the external P-MOSFET and input capacitors-must be rated for higher voltages (e.g., 200 V+) to support extended VIN operation above 60 V, as enabled by the floating-ground feedback architecture in the LTC7860EMSE#TRPBF datasheet.
How does the LTC7860EMSE#TRPBF handle overcurrent faults?
The LTC7860EMSE#TRPBF monitors current via the SENSE pin, triggering overcurrent protection when the VIN–SENSE differential exceeds 95 mV (typical). This limits peak inductor current and regulates maximum output current. Concurrently, the TMR pin initiates its fault timer; if the overcurrent persists beyond the programmed time, the GATE output shuts down until cool-down completes. This dual-layer response prevents thermal damage during sustained faults in the LTC7860EMSE#TRPBF.
Can the LTC7860EMSE#TRPBF be used for reverse battery protection?
Yes-the LTC7860EMSE#TRPBF supports optional reverse battery protection by adding an external PMOS transistor between the input source and the VIN pin. When reverse polarity is applied, the PMOS remains off, blocking current flow. The LTC7860EMSE#TRPBF itself does not integrate reverse-voltage circuitry but provides the necessary control signals and timing to coordinate this protection scheme without additional ICs.
What is the purpose of the VFBN pin on the LTC7860EMSE#TRPBF?
The VFBN pin on the LTC7860EMSE#TRPBF serves as the inverting feedback reference input, enabling high-input-voltage operation (>60 V) via external transistor-based feedback networks. When used with an NPN/PNP pair (e.g., QFB in Figure 1c), it allows accurate output regulation without exposing the VFB pin to high common-mode voltages. For standard ≤60 V applications, VFBN is tied >2 V to disable the inverting amplifier and use conventional resistive feedback in the LTC7860EMSE#TRPBF.
Does the LTC7860EMSE#TRPBF require an external inductor?
Yes-the LTC7860EMSE#TRPBF is a controller IC and requires an external inductor to implement the buck-derived PROTECTIVE PWM mode. During overvoltage events, it operates as a switching regulator, relying on the inductor's energy storage to maintain regulated output. In normal SWITCH-ON mode, the inductor improves input EMI filtering but does not participate in regulation. Typical values range from 4.7 µH to 10 µH, selected based on ripple and transient response requirements in the LTC7860EMSE#TRPBF application circuit.
