Product details
Overview
LTC7860IMSE#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a high-efficiency switching surge stopper IC designed to protect downstream loads from input overvoltage transients (e.g., ISO 7637 load dumps, MIL-STD-1275 surges) while maintaining 100% duty-cycle conduction during normal operation. It controls an external P-channel MOSFET in PROTECTIVE PWM mode (50–850 kHz adjustable frequency), regulates output voltage clamping (adjustable via VFB/VFBN), limits output current (95 mV sense threshold), and features programmable fault timer (TMR pin) with 4.5% retry duty cycle. Used in automotive power distribution, telecom front-ends, and military vehicle systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC7860IMSE#TRPBF datasheet, LTC7860IMSE#TRPBF pinout, LTC7860IMSE#TRPBF application, or LTC7860IMSE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include VIN range (3.5 V to 60 V), thermal rating (–40°C to 125°C junction), MSOP-12 package with exposed PGND pad, gate driver capability for high-side P-MOSFETs, and dual feedback options (inverting/non-inverting) for >60 V input designs.
Technical Context
The LTC7860IMSE#TRPBF implements peak current-mode control with transconductance error amplifier (1.8 mS), internal 0.8 V reference, and slope compensation. Its PROTECTIVE PWM mode uses real-time sensing of VIN–SENSE differential voltage to enforce 95 mV current limit and regulate VOUT during transients, while SWITCH-ON mode bypasses switching entirely by holding GATE high.
It integrates a programmable fault timer (TMR pin) with three-stage current sources (–30 µA pull-up, 40 µA pull-down reset, 1.3 µA cool-down), enabling precise control of maximum regulation duration. The gate driver provides 8 V bias (VIN–VCAP) with 2 Ω pull-up / 0.9 Ω pull-down strength, optimized for fast turn-on/turn-off of external P-MOSFETs in high-voltage surge scenarios.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar switching surge stopper applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC4365IMS#PBF | Linear surge stopper; no inductor required; 45 V max VIN; fixed 5.8 V clamp; no adjustable timer | Better for low-current (<3 A), space-constrained designs where efficiency is secondary to simplicity | Select LTC4365IMS#PBF when input surges are infrequent and thermal budget prohibits inductor use. |
| MAX6495ATA+T | Switching surge stopper; 75 V max VIN; fixed 12 V clamp; no VOUT adjustability; 100 ms fixed timer | Suitable for fixed-rail 12 V systems with predictable surge profiles but less flexible for custom clamp voltages | Select MAX6495ATA+T when standardized 12 V output and simplified layout outweigh need for programmability. |
Compared with LTC4365IMS#PBF and MAX6495ATA+T, the LTC7860IMSE#TRPBF offers full VOUT adjustability, wide VIN range (3.5–60 V), and precise timer control - making it optimal for high-current, multi-rail, and thermally constrained surge protection where design flexibility and efficiency are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the LTC7860IMSE#TRPBF can handle?
The LTC7860IMSE#TRPBF has an absolute maximum VIN rating of 65 V and operates continuously from 3.5 V to 60 V. With external components-including a bootstrapped shunt regulator and inverting feedback-its effective input voltage range extends reliably beyond 200 V, as confirmed in the Applications Information section of the datasheet.
Does the LTC7860IMSE#TRPBF require an inductor in all operating modes?
Yes, the LTC7860IMSE#TRPBF requires an external inductor for PROTECTIVE PWM mode operation during overvoltage or overcurrent events. However, during normal SWITCH-ON mode (100% duty cycle), the inductor functions as a low-impedance conductor with minimal AC voltage drop-no switching occurs, so core losses are negligible and the inductor does not affect steady-state efficiency.
How is output voltage clamping configured on the LTC7860IMSE#TRPBF?
Output voltage clamping on the LTC7860IMSE#TRPBF is configured using a resistor divider from VOUT to VFB (for ≤60 V VIN) or to VFBN (for >60 V VIN). For standard operation, VOUT = 0.8 V × (1 + RFB1/RFB2). In high-VIN configurations, inverting feedback adds transistor QFB and resistors RFB3/RFB4 to translate VOUT into a differential signal referenced to floating ground.
Can the LTC7860IMSE#TRPBF support reverse input voltage protection?
Yes, the LTC7860IMSE#TRPBF supports reverse input voltage protection through an optional external PMOS placed at the input. When reverse polarity is applied, the PMOS remains off, blocking current flow. This configuration is explicitly described in the Features and Applications sections of the datasheet and complements the device's primary overvoltage and overcurrent protection functions.
What is the purpose of the TMR pin on the LTC7860IMSE#TRPBF?
The TMR pin on the LTC7860IMSE#TRPBF implements a programmable fault timer that strictly limits the duration of PROTECTIVE PWM mode. During overvoltage or overcurrent events, a –30 µA current charges an external capacitor on TMR; when voltage reaches 1.29 V, the gate driver shuts off. A 1.3 µA discharge current then cools down the system before automatic restart, preventing thermal damage during sustained faults.
