Product details
Overview
LTC7862EUFD#PBF from Analog Devices is a high-efficiency switching surge stopper controller designed to protect downstream loads from input overvoltage transients up to 140V. It operates in 100% duty-cycle pass-through mode during normal conditions and switches into buck regulation during surges, overcurrents, or startup-clamping VOUT to a user-adjustable level up to 60V while delivering up to 20A output current. Used in automotive load dump (ISO 7637), MIL-STD-1275, and industrial power systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC7862EUFD#PBF datasheet, LTC7862EUFD#PBF pinout, LTC7862EUFD#PBF application, or LTC7862EUFD#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4V–140V input range, adjustable fault timer, RSENSE/DCR current sensing, open-drain WARNB fault indicator, and dual-package support (QFN/TSSOP) with exposed thermal pad.
Technical Context
The LTC7862EUFD#PBF implements a peak-current-mode synchronous buck controller architecture with fast comparator-based overcurrent protection and programmable switching frequency (50kHz–900kHz). Its gate drivers deliver <25ns rise/fall times and support external N-channel MOSFETs with top-side driver supply via integrated charge pump (BOOST-SW).
It features dual LDOs: INTVCC (5.0V ±3%) for internal analog/digital circuits and DRVCC (6.0V or 9.0V selectable via DRVUV) for gate drivers. The TMR pin enables precise control of switching duration during faults, enforcing a 2.7% retry duty cycle and cool-down period to limit thermal stress during sustained overvoltage events.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 140V - supports wide-range vehicle and military bus operation including ISO 7637 load dump and MIL-STD-1275 transients. |
| Output Clamp Voltage | Adjustable up to 60V - set via external resistor divider on VFB; typical 28V/34V clamping used in 28V system protection. |
| Switching Frequency | 50kHz to 900kHz - programmable via FREQ pin resistor; fixed options at 350kHz (low) or 535kHz (high) when tied to GND or INTVCC. |
| Current Sensing | RSENSE or inductor DCR - differential SENSE+/SENSE− inputs with 43mV–57mV max threshold; enables accurate overcurrent protection independent of MOSFET RDS(on). |
| Fault Timer Control | Programmable via CTMR capacitor - sets initial switching time (55ms/µF), retry interval (50ms/µF), and cool-down (1700ms/µF) to manage thermal budget. |

Pinout & Package
Package: 20-lead (4mm × 5mm) plastic QFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 21 = GND). Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB ground plane for rated electrical performance and θJA = 43°C/W thermal resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SENSE+ | Differential current sense positive input | Connects to high-side of current sense resistor; used with SENSE− to set overcurrent trip point based on ITH voltage. |
| SENSE− | Differential current sense negative input | Connects to low-side of sense resistor or inductor DCR; supplies comparator bias when >INTVCC. |
| SS | Soft-start ramp control | Internal 10µA pull-up charges external capacitor; regulates VFB to min(0.8V, VSS) during startup to limit inrush. |
| VFB | Feedback voltage input | Monitors output via resistor divider; regulated to 0.792V–0.812V (typ 0.800V); determines output clamp voltage. |
| ITH | Error amplifier output & compensation node | Sets current limit threshold; higher voltage increases current trip point linearly per datasheet curve. |
| TMR | Fault timer timing input | Capacitor-to-ground sets switching duration, retry delay, and cool-down time; internal current sources define thresholds. |
| FREQ | Oscillator frequency control | 20µA internal pull-up sets VCO voltage; resistor to GND programs frequency; tie to GND/INTVCC for fixed 350/535kHz. |
| WARNB | Open-drain fault warning output | Pulls low during switching (surge, overcurrent, startup) and cool-down; high-impedance in dropout/pass-through mode. |
| TG | Top-gate driver output | Floating high-side driver (SW to BOOST swing); drives gate of external high-side N-MOSFET. |
| SW | Switch node connection | Connects to inductor and source of bottom MOSFET; node voltage swings from GND to VIN during operation. |
| OVLO | Overvoltage lockout input | Logic-high (>1.2V) disables switching; maintains DRVCC/INTVCC regulation; connect to GND if unused. |
| INTVCC | Internal 5V LDO output | Supplies internal analog/digital circuitry; requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass close to pin. |
| DRVCC | Gate driver supply output | 6.0V (DRVUV=GND) or 9.0V (DRVUV=INTVCC); powers TG/BG drivers; requires ≥4.7µF low-ESR ceramic decoupling. |
| VIN | Main input supply | Primary power input (4V–140V); bypass capacitor required between VIN and GND. |
| EXTVCC | External gate driver supply input | Alternative input for DRVCC LDO; switchover at 4.7V (DRVUV=GND) or 7.7V (DRVUV=INTVCC); max 14V rating. |
| RUN | Enable/disable control | 1.12V threshold for shutdown; <0.7V forces full shutdown (IQ ≈10µA); must not be left floating. |
| DRVUV | DRVCC UVLO & EXTVCC switchover select | Selects DRVCC voltage (6V/9V) and corresponding UVLO/switchover thresholds; tie to GND or INTVCC. |
| BOOST | Bootstrap supply for top-gate driver | Connected via capacitor to SW; diode from DRVCC provides charge; voltage ~DRVCC above SW during operation. |
| BG | Bottom-gate driver output | Drives gate of synchronous N-MOSFET; swing from GND to DRVCC; complements TG in buck operation. |
| GND | Ground reference | All GND pins (including exposed pad Pin 21) must be connected to common PCB ground for thermal and electrical integrity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 100% duty-cycle pass-through mode | Minimizes conduction loss during normal operation-insertion loss dominated by external MOSFET RDS(on), not IC quiescent drop. |
| Adjustable output voltage clamp | Set via standard resistor divider on VFB; supports precise clamping from ~2V to 60V without external op-amps. |
| Programmable fault timer with cooldown | Prevents thermal runaway during sustained surges by limiting total switching time and enforcing mandatory cool-down before retry. |
| Open-drain WARNB fault indicator | Provides system-level status signaling-low during all fault conditions (overvoltage, overcurrent, startup, cool-down) and high-Z in safe pass-through. |
| Dual current sensing methods | Supports either discrete shunt (RSENSE) or lossless inductor DCR sensing-reduces BOM count and improves efficiency in high-current designs. |
| Robust gate drivers with charge pump | TG/BG drivers deliver fast edge rates (<25ns) and low on-resistance; integrated BOOST charge pump eliminates need for external bootstrap components. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the LTC7862EUFD#PBF can withstand?
The LTC7862EUFD#PBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 150V, with guaranteed operation across a 4V to 140V input range. This makes it suitable for protecting against severe transients such as ISO 7637 load dump (100V/400ms) and MIL-STD-1275 Class C surges (100V/500ms), while maintaining regulation and reliability within its specified operating range.
How does the LTC7862EUFD#PBF handle overcurrent conditions?
The LTC7862EUFD#PBF detects overcurrent using differential sensing at SENSE+ and SENSE− pins, with a programmable trip threshold determined by the ITH voltage and sense resistor value. When triggered, it enters switching mode to regulate output current, and the fault timer (TMR pin) limits total switching duration to prevent thermal overload-enforcing automatic cool-down and retry cycles.
Can the LTC7862EUFD#PBF operate without external MOSFETs?
No-the LTC7862EUFD#PBF is a controller-only device and requires two external N-channel MOSFETs: one high-side (driven by TG) and one synchronous low-side (driven by BG). It does not integrate power switches; its design relies on external FETs selected for voltage rating, RDS(on), and thermal performance to match application requirements.
What is the purpose of the WARNB pin on the LTC7862EUFD#PBF?
The WARNB pin on the LTC7862EUFD#PBF is an open-drain logic output that pulls low during all active fault conditions-including input overvoltage, overcurrent, startup, and cool-down periods. It transitions to high-impedance only during normal 100% duty-cycle pass-through operation, providing a simple, real-time system-level indicator of surge stopper activity.
Is the LTC7862EUFD#PBF pin-compatible with other variants in the LTC7862 family?
Yes-the LTC7862EUFD#PBF shares identical pinout and footprint with all other LTC7862 variants in the 20-lead QFN (UFD) package, including LTC7862IUFD#PBF and LTC7862HUFD#PBF. Differences are limited to temperature grade (E = –40°C to +125°C) and minor electrical specifications-not pin function or layout.
