Product details
Overview
LTC7860MPMSE#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 dump, MIL-STD-1275 surges) and overcurrent faults. It controls an external P-channel MOSFET in two modes: 100% duty-cycle SWITCH-ON mode for normal operation (VIN = 3.5V–60V), and PROTECTIVE PWM mode during faults, clamping VOUT to a user-adjustable safe level (e.g., 18V). 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#TRPBF datasheet, LTC7860MPMSE#TRPBF pinout, LTC7860MPMSE#TRPBF application, or LTC7860MPMSE#TRPBF equivalent, this page delivers verified functional role (high-voltage transient protection controller), thermal grade (–55°C to 150°C), fault timer behavior (programmable via TMR pin), gate driver specs (8V VCAP bias, 0.9Ω pull-down), and real-world use cases in automotive, military, and telecom power systems.
Technical Context
The LTC7860MPMSE#TRPBF implements peak current-mode control with a transconductance error amplifier (gm = 1.8 mS) and internal 0.8V reference. Its dual-mode operation-SWITCH-ON (dropout) and PROTECTIVE PWM-is governed by VIN-VSENSE comparison against 95mV threshold and VFB regulation logic. The fault timer (TMR pin) uses three distinct currents (–30µA pull-up, 40µA pull-down reset, 1.3µA cool-down) to enforce strict time-limited regulation during surges.
It features a dedicated gate driver with regulated VCAP supply (VIN–VCAP = 8V typical), low-RDS(on) drive capability (RUP = 2Ω, RDN = 0.9Ω), and UVLO activation at VIN–VCAP < 3.25V. Frequency is set via FREQ pin (ground = 350kHz, open = 535kHz, resistor-programmable 50–850kHz), and foldback reduces switching frequency to ~18% of setpoint when VFB < 0.4V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 3.5V to 60V - supports standard automotive and industrial rails; external components extend input to 200V+. |
| Operating Temp | –55°C to 150°C - fully tested extended temperature grade for military and harsh-environment applications. |
| Switching Freq | 50kHz to 850kHz - programmable via external resistor on FREQ pin; enables EMI optimization and size/efficiency trade-offs. |
| Current Limit | 95mV sense threshold - sets peak inductor current as IOUT(MAX) = 95mV / RSENSE; ensures precise overcurrent protection. |
| Feedback Ref | 0.800V ±0.009V - tight tolerance reference used to regulate VOUT via resistor divider; enables accurate output voltage programming. |
| Gate Drive | 8V VCAP bias, 0.9Ω pull-down - drives external P-MOSFET with low loss and fast turn-off; critical for efficient PROTECTIVE PWM mode. |
| Fault Timer | Programmable via TMR capacitor - sets maximum time in high-loss PWM mode (e.g., 100ms with 22µF); prevents thermal runaway during sustained surges. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 12-lead plastic MSOP with exposed PGND pad (Pin 13), thermally enhanced for –55°C to 150°C operation. Exposed pad must be soldered to PCB for electrical continuity and thermal performance (θJC = 10°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TMR (1) | Fault timer control node | Monitors time in PROTECTIVE PWM mode; 30µA pull-up charges capacitor until 1.29V gate-off threshold triggers shutdown. |
| FREQ (2) | Switching frequency programming input | 20µA current source sets oscillator frequency via external resistor; ground = 350kHz, open = 535kHz, resistor = 50–850kHz. |
| SGND (3) | Signal ground reference | Common return for analog inputs (VFB, ITH, SS); must connect to PGND at single point to avoid noise coupling. |
| SS (4) | Soft-start and tracking input | Internal 10µA current charges external capacitor; regulates VFB to smaller of 0.8V or SS voltage for controlled VOUT ramp. |
| VFB (5) | Output voltage feedback sense | Connected to resistor divider; LTC7860 regulates VFB to 0.8V, setting VOUT = 0.8V × (1 + R1/R2) in non-inverting configuration. |
| ITH (6) | Error amplifier output & compensation node | Carries transconductance amplifier output (0–2.9V); used for loop compensation and current limit threshold setting. |
| VFBN (7) | Inverting feedback input | Enables high-voltage (>60V) operation via floating-ground feedback; tied >2V to disable inverting amp for standard configurations. |
| RUN (8) | Enable/disable control | 1.26V threshold enables operation; internal 0.4µA pull-up allows direct connection to up to 60V supply for robust enable signaling. |
| CAP (9) | GATE driver bias supply | Regulated 8V below VIN; requires ≥0.47µF ceramic capacitor between VIN and CAP for stable gate drive under surge conditions. |
| SENSE (10) | Current sense input | Kelvin-connected to sense resistor; differential voltage (VIN–SENSE) compared to 95mV threshold for overcurrent protection. |
| VIN (11) | Main power supply input | Supplies internal circuitry; requires ≥0.1µF bypass capacitor to PGND; UVLO activates if VIN–VCAP < 3.25V. |
| GATE (12) | External P-MOSFET gate driver output | Drives gate with low-impedance push-pull; operates only when VIN–VCAP ≥ 3.5V; disables during UVLO or shutdown. |
| PGND (13) | Power ground (exposed pad) | Primary return path for high-current paths (MOSFET source, SENSE, CAP); must be soldered to PCB plane for thermal and electrical integrity. |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the primary function of the LTC7860MPMSE#TRPBF in a power system?
The LTC7860MPMSE#TRPBF functions as a high-efficiency switching surge stopper that protects downstream loads from input overvoltage transients (e.g., ISO 7637 load dumps) and overcurrent faults. It achieves this by controlling an external P-channel MOSFET in two distinct modes: 100% duty-cycle SWITCH-ON mode during normal operation and PROTECTIVE PWM mode during surges, actively regulating output voltage to a safe, user-defined clamp level. The LTC7860MPMSE#TRPBF integrates all necessary control logic, fault timing, and gate driving for this purpose.
How does the LTC7860MPMSE#TRPBF handle input voltage surges exceeding 60V?
The LTC7860MPMSE#TRPBF itself has a 60V absolute maximum VIN rating, but its architecture supports input voltages beyond 60V - up to 200V+ - using external components. This is accomplished by creating a floating ground reference via a bootstrapped shunt regulator (e.g., Zener diode), connecting the LTC7860MPMSE#TRPBF's SGND and PGND pins to that reference, and selecting either inverting or non-inverting feedback configurations. The LTC7860MPMSE#TRPBF's internal circuitry remains isolated from the high input voltage, relying only on the scaled feedback signal.
What is the significance of the exposed pad (Pin 13) on the LTC7860MPMSE#TRPBF MSOP package?
The exposed pad (Pin 13) on the LTC7860MPMSE#TRPBF is designated PGND and serves as the primary power ground connection for high-current paths, including the external MOSFET source, SENSE pin return, and CAP pin bypass. It must be soldered directly to a large PCB copper pour to ensure both electrical integrity and thermal performance - the datasheet specifies θJC = 10°C/W, which is only achievable with proper pad soldering. Failure to connect this pad compromises both safe operating area and reliability, especially under surge conditions where power dissipation spikes.
Can the LTC7860MPMSE#TRPBF be used without an inductor in the circuit?
Yes, the LTC7860MPMSE#TRPBF can operate without an inductor when used solely in SWITCH-ON mode for basic overvoltage and overcurrent protection - in this case, it functions as a smart, current-limited pass element. However, an inductor is mandatory for PROTECTIVE PWM mode operation, as the device relies on inductive energy storage to regulate output voltage during surges. The inductor also improves input EMI filtering during normal operation, as noted in the official application documentation for the LTC7860MPMSE#TRPBF.
What defines the "MP" grade in LTC7860MPMSE#TRPBF, and why is it important for military applications?
The "MP" grade in LTC7860MPMSE#TRPBF denotes a military-grade temperature rating, with full testing and characterization across –55°C to 150°C operating junction temperature. Unlike commercial (E) or industrial (I) grades, the MP grade undergoes extended burn-in, lot acceptance testing, and screening per MIL-PRF-38535 requirements. This ensures reliability under extreme thermal cycling and shock/vibration conditions typical of airborne, vehicular, and naval platforms - making the LTC7860MPMSE#TRPBF suitable for mission-critical MIL-STD-1275E implementations where failure is not an option.
