Product details
Overview
LTC7862EFE#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a high-efficiency switching surge stopper controller that protects downstream loads from input overvoltage transients up to 140V while delivering up to 20A output current. It operates in 100% duty-cycle pass-through mode during normal conditions and switches into buck regulation during surges, overcurrents, or startup - with adjustable output clamp (up to 60V), programmable fault timer, and RSENSE/DCR current sensing. It is used in automotive load-dump protection compliant with ISO 7637 and MIL-STD-1275.
For engineers reviewing the LTC7862EFE#TRPBF datasheet, LTC7862EFE#TRPBF pinout, LTC7862EFE#TRPBF application, or LTC7862EFE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 4V–140V input range, 20-pin TSSOP package with exposed thermal pad, adjustable 50kHz–900kHz switching frequency, 0.792V feedback reference, and dual-mode operation (pass-through + regulated switching) for surge resilience without compromising efficiency.
Technical Context
The LTC7862EFE#TRPBF implements a peak-current-mode synchronous buck controller architecture with integrated gate drivers for external N-channel MOSFETs. Its functional core includes a transconductance error amplifier (gm = 2 mmho), fast current comparator referenced to ITH voltage, and programmable oscillator with internal 20µA FREQ pull-up current.
It features dual power domains: DRVCC (6V or 9V LDO, selectable via DRVUV pin) powers gate drivers, while INTVCC (5.0V ±3%) supplies analog/digital circuitry. The TMR pin controls both switching duration during faults (55 ms/µF typical) and cooldown timing (1700 ms/µF), enforcing strict thermal budgeting by limiting high-loss regulation intervals.

Pinout & Package
Package: 20-lead plastic TSSOP (FE) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 21 = GND). Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB ground plane for rated electrical performance and θJA = 38°C/W thermal resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SENSE+ | Differential current sense positive input | Connects to high-side of RSENSE; sets overcurrent trip threshold jointly with SENSE– and ITH voltage. |
| SENSE– | Differential current sense negative input | Biased above INTVCC during operation; supplies current comparator bias; supports DCR sensing. |
| SS | Soft-start ramp control | Internal 10µA pull-up charges external capacitor to control output voltage ramp rate during startup/retry. |
| VFB | Regulated feedback input | Compares against 0.792V reference; determines output clamp voltage via external resistor divider. |
| ITH | Error amplifier output & compensation node | Sets current limit threshold; used for loop compensation; voltage directly scales current sense trip point. |
| TMR | Fault timer timing input | Capacitor-to-ground sets switching-on duration (55 ms/µF) and cooldown period (1700 ms/µF). |
| FREQ | Oscillator frequency programming | 20µA internal pull-up develops voltage; resistor-to-GND selects 50–900kHz; tied to GND/INTVCC for fixed 350/535kHz. |
| WARNB | Open-drain fault indicator | Pulls low during switching (surge/overcurrent/startup), shutdown, or cooldown; high-Z after dropout entry (60µs delay). |
| TG | Top-gate driver output | Floating high-side driver (SW to BOOST swing); drives main N-MOSFET gate with 2.2Ω pull-up / 1.0Ω pull-down. |
| SW | Switch node connection | Connects to inductor and bottom MOSFET source; critical for layout; carries high di/dt during switching. |
| BOOST | Bootstrap supply for top gate driver | Capacitor between BOOST and SW provides floating rail; diode from BOOST to DRVCC maintains charge. |
| BG | Bottom-gate driver output | Ground-referenced driver (0V to DRVCC swing); drives synchronous N-MOSFET gate with 2.0Ω pull-up / 1.0Ω pull-down. |
| OVLO | Overvoltage lockout input | Threshold = 1.2V; disables switching if exceeded; maintains DRVCC/INTVCC regulation during event. |
| RUN | Enable/disable control | ON threshold = 1.12V; shutdown below 0.7V reduces IQ to 10µA; must not be left floating. |
| DRVUV | DRVCC regulation select & UVLO threshold config | Tied to GND → DRVCC = 6.0V; tied to INTVCC → DRVCC = 9.0V; also selects lower/higher UVLO thresholds. |
| INTVCC | Internal 5.0V LDO output | Powers internal analog/digital blocks; requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass close to pin. |
| DRVCC | Gate driver supply output | Supplies TG/BG drivers; sourced from VIN or EXTVCC LDO; requires ≥4.7µF low-ESR ceramic decoupling. |
| VIN | Main input supply | Primary power path; connects to vehicle/bus input; requires local ceramic bypass to GND. |
| EXTVCC | External gate driver supply input | Optional alternate source for DRVCC; switchover at 4.7V (DRVUV=GND) or 7.7V (DRVUV=INTVCC); max 14V. |
| GND | Power and signal ground | All GND pins (including exposed pad Pin 21) must be connected to common PCB ground plane for thermal/electrical integrity. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC7862EFE#TRPBF?
The LTC7862EFE#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 150V, with a specified operating input voltage range of 4V to 140V. This allows it to handle severe automotive and military transients such as ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (100V/400ms) and MIL-STD-1275E Class A surges (100V/500ms) while maintaining regulation. Operation beyond 140V is outside guaranteed specifications and may compromise reliability.
Does the LTC7862EFE#TRPBF require external MOSFETs, and what type are supported?
Yes, the LTC7862EFE#TRPBF is a controller IC and requires two external N-channel MOSFETs: one high-side (MTOP) and one synchronous low-side (MBOT). It supports logic-level and standard-threshold devices, with gate drivers capable of 2.2Ω pull-up and 1.0Ω pull-down strength. Reference designs use Infineon BSC035N10NS5, confirming compatibility with 100V-rated, low-RDS(on) trench MOSFETs.
How does the fault timer (TMR pin) function in the LTC7862EFE#TRPBF?
The TMR pin on the LTC7862EFE#TRPBF sets both the maximum allowable switching duration during overvoltage, overcurrent, or startup events (55 ms per µF) and the subsequent cooldown period before retry (1700 ms per µF). When the timer expires, the controller forces TG/BG off, enters cooldown, then automatically restarts - preventing thermal runaway and enabling component sizing based on average, not worst-case, power dissipation.
Can the LTC7862EFE#TRPBF operate without switching during normal conditions?
Yes - the LTC7862EFE#TRPBF is designed for 100% duty-cycle pass-through operation during normal input conditions. In this mode, the top external MOSFET remains fully enhanced, passing input voltage to the output with only RDS(on) conduction loss. Switching occurs exclusively during transients, overcurrents, or startup, minimizing quiescent loss and heat generation in steady-state operation.
What is the purpose of the WARNB pin on the LTC7862EFE#TRPBF?
The WARNB pin on the LTC7862EFE#TRPBF is an open-drain logic output that pulls low during any switching event - including input overvoltage, overcurrent, startup, shutdown, or cooldown - and goes high-impedance 60µs after entering dropout (pass-through) mode. It provides real-time system-level visibility into surge activity and fault recovery status without requiring additional monitoring circuitry.
