Product details
Overview
LTC7862IFE#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 output voltage up to 60V with adjustable current limiting via external MOSFETs. Used in automotive load dump (ISO 7637) and MIL-STD-1275 compliant systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC7862IFE#PBF datasheet, LTC7862IFE#PBF pinout, LTC7862IFE#PBF application, or LTC7862IFE#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4V–140V input range, programmable fault timer, dual N-channel gate drive capability, RSENSE/DCR current sensing, and support for 50kHz–900kHz switching frequency with thermal-cooldown recovery behavior.
Technical Context
The LTC7862IFE#PBF implements a peak-current-mode synchronous buck controller architecture with fast comparator-based overcurrent protection and integrated gate drivers for top/bottom N-MOSFETs. Its dropout detection logic enables seamless transition between 100% pass-through and active switching modes without external supervision.
It features dual LDOs (INTVCC at 5V and DRVCC configurable at 6V/9V), programmable oscillator with fixed or resistor-set frequency, and a dedicated TMR pin that controls both switching duration and cooldown timing using an external capacitor-enabling thermal optimization for intermittent surge events rather than continuous operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 140V operating; absolute max 150V - supports wide industrial/automotive bus voltages including ISO7637 load dump and MIL-STD-1275 transients. |
| Output Clamp Voltage | Adjustable up to 60V via feedback divider - sets safe maximum output during overvoltage events while preserving load operation. |
| Switching Frequency | 50kHz to 900kHz (resistor-programmable) or fixed 320kHz/535kHz - balances EMI, efficiency, and component size for transient suppression. |
| Fault Timer Range | Configurable per 1µF TMR capacitor: 55ms initial fault window, 50ms retry period, 1700ms cooldown - prevents thermal runaway during sustained faults. |
| Gate Drive Capability | TG/BG drivers with 1Ω pull-down / 2.2Ω pull-up on TG, 1Ω pull-down / 2Ω pull-up on BG - directly drives high-side and synchronous low-side N-MOSFETs. |
| Current Sensing | RSENSE or inductor DCR sensing with 43–57mV max sense threshold - enables accurate overcurrent protection across temperature and load conditions. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C junction - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial environments requiring extended thermal reliability. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 20-lead plastic TSSOP (FE package), 4mm × 6.5mm body, exposed pad (Pin 21) connected to GND for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SENSE+, SENSE– | Differential current sense inputs | Set overcurrent trip point via external shunt or DCR; SENSE– powers internal comparator when > INTVCC. |
| SS | Soft-start ramp control | Internal 10µA pull-up charges external capacitor to control output voltage rise time and limit inrush. |
| VFB | Feedback reference input | Compares against 0.792–0.812V internal reference to regulate output clamp voltage. |
| ITH | Error amplifier output | Sets current limit threshold; higher voltage increases current trip point linearly. |
| TMR | Fault timer capacitor node | Charged/discharged by internal current sources to define switching duration and cooldown intervals. |
| WARNB | Open-drain fault indicator | Pulls low during switching (surge, overcurrent, startup) and high-impedance in dropout/pass-through mode. |
| TG, BG | Top/bottom gate drivers | Drive external N-MOSFET gates; TG swings from SW to BOOST, BG from GND to DRVCC. |
| SW, BOOST, BG, GND | Power node connections | SW connects to inductor; BOOST supplies floating high-side driver; exposed GND pad mandatory for thermal rating. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 100% duty-cycle pass-through mode | Minimizes conduction loss during normal operation - insertion loss dominated by MOSFET RDS(on), not IC quiescent drop. |
| Programmable fault timer with cooldown | Enables oversized thermal design for short-duration surges only - reduces heatsink size and cost vs. continuous-rated solutions. |
| Dual independent LDOs (INTVCC/DRVCC) | INTVCC powers analog/digital core at 5V; DRVCC configurable at 6V/9V to match MOSFET gate drive requirements. |
| Fast peak-current overcurrent protection | Responds within one switching cycle to short-circuit or overload - avoids latch-up and enables auto-retry after cooldown. |
| DRVUV-selectable UVLO and EXTVCC switchover | DRVUV = GND → 4.2V UVLO / 4.7V EXTVCC switchover; DRVUV = INTVCC → 7.8V UVLO / 7.7V switchover - adapts to system supply architecture. |
Applications

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the LTC7862IFE#PBF can withstand?
The LTC7862IFE#PBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 150V, with guaranteed operation up to 140V. This allows it to handle severe automotive load dump events (e.g., 100V/400ms per ISO 7637-2) and MIL-STD-1275E transients while maintaining regulation. Exceeding 150V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
How does the LTC7862IFE#PBF switch between pass-through and regulation modes?
The LTC7862IFE#PBF monitors input voltage and load conditions continuously. When VIN remains below the programmed output clamp voltage and no overcurrent is detected, it holds the top N-MOSFET fully on (100% duty cycle). During overvoltage, overcurrent, or startup, it immediately activates synchronous buck regulation using TG/BG outputs - all without external intervention.
Can the LTC7862IFE#PBF be used with DCR current sensing instead of a shunt resistor?
Yes, the LTC7862IFE#PBF supports both RSENSE and inductor DCR current sensing via its differential SENSE+ and SENSE– inputs. DCR sensing eliminates power loss and board space associated with shunt resistors, and the IC's offset compensation maintains accuracy across temperature - confirmed in Electrical Characteristics tables and Applications Information.
What is the purpose of the TMR pin on the LTC7862IFE#PBF?
The TMR pin on the LTC7862IFE#PBF connects to an external capacitor that defines three critical timing intervals: (1) maximum allowed switching duration during fault (55ms/µF), (2) retry interval (50ms/µF), and (3) cooldown period (1700ms/µF). This prevents thermal saturation and enables component sizing optimized for pass-through operation rather than continuous switching.
Does the LTC7862IFE#PBF require external gate drivers for the MOSFETs?
No, the LTC7862IFE#PBF integrates high-current gate drivers for both top and bottom N-channel MOSFETs - TG drives the high-side switch with BOOST-referenced output, and BG drives the synchronous low-side switch referenced to GND. Each driver delivers >1A peak current with sub-30ns transition times, eliminating need for external drivers in typical implementations.
