Product details
Overview
LTC7860MPMSE#PBF 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 dump, MIL-STD-1275 surges) and overcurrent faults. It controls an external P-channel MOSFET in two modes: 100% duty-cycle SWITCH-ON mode during normal operation (VIN = 3.5V–60V), and PROTECTIVE PWM mode during faults, clamping VOUT to a user-adjustable safe level. Key confirmed parameters include –55°C to 150°C operating junction temperature, 50kHz–850kHz programmable switching frequency, 95mV current limit threshold, 0.8V feedback reference, and 12-lead MSOP package with exposed PGND pad.
For engineers reviewing the LTC7860MPMSE#PBF datasheet, LTC7860MPMSE#PBF pinout, LTC7860MPMSE#PBF application, or LTC7860MPMSE#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its extended industrial/military temperature grade (–55°C to 150°C), fault timer programmability via TMR pin, gate driver bias LDO (VIN–VCAP = 8V), soft-start control via SS pin, and compatibility with both inverting and non-inverting feedback configurations for VIN > 60V applications.
Technical Context
The LTC7860MPMSE#PBF implements peak current-mode control with a transconductance error amplifier (gm = 1.8 mS) and internal 0.8V reference, regulating VFB to either the SS pin voltage (during soft-start) or the fixed reference. Its PROTECTIVE PWM mode uses a dedicated fault timer (TMR pin) with 30µA pull-up, 40µA pull-down, and 1.3µA cool-down current to strictly limit high-loss regulation time-enabling thermal optimization for normal operation while surviving transient surges.
It supports dual feedback architectures: non-inverting (VFBN > 2V) for standard ≤60V VIN operation, and inverting (VFBN connected to floating ground) for VIN up to 200V+, using external transistor-based level-shifting. Gate drive is optimized for P-channel MOSFETs, with VIN–VCAP regulated to 8V (dropout < 3.5V) and low RUP (2Ω) / RDN (0.9Ω) for fast switching.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Operating Range | 3.5V to 60V continuous; extendable to 200V+ with external level-shifting circuitry |
| Operating Junction Temp | –55°C to 150°C - fully tested and guaranteed for military/extended industrial use |
| Switching Frequency | 50kHz to 850kHz - set by resistor on FREQ pin or fixed at 350kHz (GND) / 535kHz (open) |
| Current Limit Threshold | 95mV (typical) across RSENSE - sets peak output current as IOUT(MAX) = 95mV / RSENSE |
| Feedback Reference | 0.800V ±1.1% - regulates VFB to this value; used with resistor divider to program VOUT |
| Fault Timer Control | TMR pin accepts 1µF capacitor for ~44ms initial fault detection (TSETI = VGTH/ITPU) |
| GATE Driver Bias | VIN–VCAP = 8.0V (typical) - stable gate drive for P-MOSFETs; drops out below 3.5V |
Pinout & Package
Package: 12-lead plastic MSOP with exposed PGND pad (Pin 13), thermally enhanced for high-power surge protection applications. Exposed pad must be soldered to PCB for electrical continuity and thermal performance (θJA = 40°C/W, θJC = 10°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TMR (1) | Fault timer control node | 30µA pull-up initiates shutdown when 1.29V threshold reached; 40µA pull-down resets after fault clears |
| FREQ (2) | Switching frequency programming | 20µA current source sets oscillator frequency via external resistor; GND = 350kHz, open = 535kHz |
| SGND (3) | Analog signal ground reference | Reference for VFB, ITH, SS, VFBN; must connect to PGND at single point to avoid noise coupling |
| SS (4) | Soft-start and tracking input | Internal 10µA pull-up charges external capacitor; regulates VFB to SS voltage during ramp-up |
| VFB (5) | Output voltage feedback sense | Regulated to 0.8V; resistor divider from VOUT sets output voltage per VOUT = 0.8V × (1 + R1/R2) |
| ITH (6) | Error amplifier output & compensation | 0–2.9V range; sum of EA output and slope compensation sets peak inductor current threshold |
| VFBN (7) | Inverting feedback reference input | 0V threshold; enables floating-ground feedback for VIN > 60V; tie >2V to disable inverting mode |
| RUN (8) | Enable/disable control | 1.26V threshold; internal 0.4µA pull-up allows direct connection to up to 60V supply |
| CAP (9) | GATE driver bias supply | Requires ≥0.47µF ceramic cap to VIN; forms LDO output (VIN–VCAP = 8V) for P-MOSFET gate drive |
| SENSE (10) | Current sense input | Kelvin-connected to RSENSE; differential voltage (VIN–SENSE) compared to 95mV limit for overcurrent protection |
| VIN (11) | Main power input | Supplies internal circuitry; requires ≥0.1µF ceramic bypass to PGND near pin |
| GATE (12) | P-MOSFET gate driver output | Drives external P-channel MOSFET gate; low RUP/RDN ensures fast turn-on/turn-off |
| PGND (13) | Power ground reference | Exposed pad; must be soldered to PCB plane for thermal dissipation and low-impedance return path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PROTECTIVE PWM Mode | Active during input overvoltage or overcurrent; regulates VOUT to safe clamp level without linear power loss |
| SWITCH-ON Mode | 100% duty cycle operation minimizes insertion loss (RDS(on) × IIN) during normal conditions |
| Programmable Fault Timer | TMR pin enables precise control of maximum time spent in high-loss PWM mode, enabling smaller thermal design |
| Flexible Feedback Architecture | Supports both non-inverting (≤60V VIN) and inverting (up to 200V+ VIN) configurations with external transistor level-shifting |
| Adjustable Soft-Start | SS pin with internal 10µA current source allows controlled VOUT ramp-up to prevent inrush current damage |
| Reverse Battery Protection Ready | Optional external PMOS can be added between VIN and input capacitor for reverse polarity protection |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed operating temperature range for the LTC7860MPMSE#PBF?
The LTC7860MPMSE#PBF is fully tested and guaranteed over a junction temperature range of –55°C to 150°C, meeting extended industrial and military environmental requirements. This is explicitly defined in the Order Information table and confirmed in Note 3 of the Electrical Characteristics section, distinguishing it from E/I/H grade variants.
How does the LTC7860MPMSE#PBF implement overvoltage protection without an integrated MOSFET?
The LTC7860MPMSE#PBF controls an external P-channel MOSFET via its GATE pin, using two distinct operating modes: SWITCH-ON mode (100% duty cycle, minimal insertion loss) during normal input conditions, and PROTECTIVE PWM mode (switching regulation) during overvoltage events to clamp VOUT. This architecture avoids internal power dissipation limits while enabling high-current capability.
Can the LTC7860MPMSE#PBF be used with input voltages above 60V, and if so, how?
Yes - the LTC7860MPMSE#PBF supports VIN up to 200V+ using external level-shifting circuitry. For VIN > 60V, a floating ground (e.g., Zener-biased shunt regulator) is created, and the inverting feedback option (VFBN connected to floating ground) translates VOUT down to the IC's 0.8V reference, decoupling feedback sensing from absolute VIN potential.
What is the role of the TMR pin on the LTC7860MPMSE#PBF, and how is it configured?
The TMR pin on the LTC7860MPMSE#PBF implements a programmable fault timer that strictly limits time spent in high-loss PROTECTIVE PWM mode. A capacitor (e.g., 22µF) from TMR to SGND sets the timeout period; internal 30µA pull-up charges it to 1.29V to trigger shutdown, then 1.3µA pull-down cools down before restart, preventing thermal damage during sustained faults.
Does the LTC7860MPMSE#PBF support reverse battery protection, and what is required?
The LTC7860MPMSE#PBF does not integrate reverse battery protection but provides a design-ready interface for it. An optional external PMOS transistor can be placed between VIN and the input capacitor, with its gate driven by the LTC7860MPMSE#PBF's RUN or GATE signals (via level-shifting), enabling robust reverse polarity protection without additional controller ICs.
