Product details
Overview
LTC7862IFE#TRPBF 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, clamping VOUT to a user-adjustable level up to 60V while delivering up to 20A output current. Used in automotive load dump (ISO 7637) and military power (MIL-STD-1275) protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LTC7862IFE#TRPBF datasheet, LTC7862IFE#TRPBF pinout, LTC7862IFE#TRPBF application, or LTC7862IFE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations 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 –40°C to 125°C operation.
Technical Context
The LTC7862IFE#TRPBF implements a synchronous N-channel MOSFET gate driver architecture with independent TG and BG outputs, supporting external high-side and low-side FETs. Its peak-current-mode control loop uses an adjustable ITH voltage to set current limit threshold and integrates a fast comparator for overcurrent response within nanoseconds.
It features dual DRVCC supply paths - from VIN via internal LDO or from EXTVCC - with switchover thresholds programmable via DRVUV pin (6V or 9V output). The TMR pin controls both switching duration during faults and cooldown/retry timing using a single external capacitor, enabling thermal optimization for transient-only operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 4V to 140V operating; 150V absolute max - supports wide industrial/military input rails including ISO7637 load dump and MIL-STD-1275 surges. |
| VOUT Clamp Range | Adjustable up to 60V via feedback divider - enables precise output voltage limiting during transients without external regulators. |
| Switching Frequency | 50kHz to 900kHz programmable - allows EMI optimization and inductor size trade-offs across diverse surge durations and power levels. |
| Current Sensing | RSENSE or inductor DCR sensing - provides flexibility in accuracy vs. cost vs. board space for overcurrent protection. |
| Fault Timer | Programmable via TMR pin capacitor - sets maximum switching time per fault event and cooldown period, enabling thermal design for pass-through dominance. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C junction - qualified for under-hood automotive and harsh-environment industrial applications. |
| Package | 20-pin 4mm × 5mm QFN (UFD) or TSSOP (FE) - exposed pad required for thermal performance; both packages support same pinout and functionality. |
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 and thermal performance (θJC = 3.4°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SENSE+ | Differential current sense positive input | Connects to high-side of current sense resistor or DCR network; sets overcurrent trip point with SENSE– and ITH voltage. |
| SENSE– | Differential current sense negative input | Bias source for current comparator when > INTVCC; referenced to output rail for accurate high-side sensing. |
| SS | Soft-start ramp control | Internal 10µA pull-up charges external capacitor to control startup dV/dt and inrush current limiting. |
| VFB | Feedback voltage input | Monitors output via resistor divider; regulates VOUT by comparing to 0.792–0.812V internal reference. |
| ITH | Error amplifier output / current limit control | Sets peak current threshold; higher voltage increases current limit; used for compensation and dynamic current adjustment. |
| TMR | Fault timer programming node | External capacitor sets switching-on time per fault event and cooldown duration before retry; critical for thermal management. |
| FREQ | Oscillator frequency control | Resistor-to-GND sets frequency from 50–900kHz; tied to GND or INTVCC selects fixed 350kHz or 535kHz modes. |
| WARNB | Open-drain fault warning output | Pulls low during switching (surge, overcurrent, startup) and cool-down; high-impedance in dropout mode; 60µs delay after dropout entry. |
| TG | Top-gate driver output | Floating high-side driver (SW to BOOST swing); drives external N-MOSFET gate with <25ns rise/fall times. |
| SW | Switch node connection | Connects to inductor and bottom-FET source; serves as return path for BOOST capacitor and TG driver supply. |
| BOOST | Bootstrap supply for top gate driver | Capacitor between BOOST and SW supplies floating gate drive; voltage ~DRVCC above SW during pass-through. |
| BG | Bottom-gate driver output | Ground-referenced driver (0 to DRVCC swing); synchronously controls bottom N-MOSFET with 50ns min off-to-on delay. |
| GND | Power and signal ground | All GND pins plus exposed pad must be connected to common PCB ground plane for noise immunity and thermal conduction. |
| DRVCC | Gate driver supply output | 5.8–9.4V LDO output powering TG/BG drivers; sourced from VIN or EXTVCC depending on DRVUV setting and voltage levels. |
| VIN | Main input supply | Primary power input (4–140V); powers internal circuitry and DRVCC LDO unless EXTVCC is active and above switchover threshold. |
| EXTVCC | External gate driver supply input | Alternative input for DRVCC LDO; activates when voltage exceeds 4.7V (DRVUV = GND) or 7.7V (DRVUV = INTVCC). |
| RUN | Enable/disable control | Logic input: <1.12V disables switching; <0.7V shuts down entire IC (IQ ≈ 10µA); tied to VIN for always-on operation. |
| DRVUV | DRVCC UVLO and switchover select | Configures DRVCC output (6V or 9V) and sets corresponding UVLO/EXTVCC switchover thresholds - must not float. |
| INTVCC | Internal 5V analog/digital supply | Stable 4.7–5.2V LDO output powering internal logic, comparators, and references; requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass. |
| OVLO | Overvoltage lockout input | Input disable: >1.2V disables switching while maintaining DRVCC/INTVCC regulation; connect to GND if unused. |
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 controller quiescent drop. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar surge protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC4365HDE#PBF | Linear surge protector with integrated MOSFET; 4–40V VIN range; no switching capability; lower IQ (25µA) but limited to 3A continuous. | Best for low-current, space-constrained applications where efficiency during surge is secondary to simplicity and cost. | Select LTC4365HDE#PBF only when input voltage stays below 40V and output current remains ≤3A - unsuitable for 140V or 20A requirements of LTC7862IFE#TRPBF. |
| MAX6495ATA+T | High-voltage linear surge stopper; 4.5–60V VIN; integrated 100V MOSFET; 5A max; includes thermal foldback but no programmable timer or WARNB output. | Targeted at compact, self-contained protection for 12V/24V systems needing basic overvoltage cutoff without regulation. | Choose MAX6495ATA+T for plug-and-play protection where adjustable clamping, high current, or fault diagnostics are unnecessary - cannot replace LTC7862IFE#TRPBF in high-power or programmable designs. |
Compared with LTC4365HDE#PBF and MAX6495ATA+T, the LTC7862IFE#TRPBF uniquely delivers high-efficiency switching regulation across 4–140V inputs with full programmability of clamp voltage, current limit, fault timing, and gate drive - making it the only viable option for 20A automotive/military surge protection requiring sustained output during long transients.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the LTC7862IFE#TRPBF can withstand?
The LTC7862IFE#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 150V, with guaranteed operation from 4V to 140V. This makes it suitable for protecting against severe transients such as ISO 7637 load dump (100V) and MIL-STD-1275E (100V), while maintaining reliable function across wide industrial input ranges. Exceeding 150V risks permanent damage.
How does the LTC7862IFE#TRPBF handle overcurrent events?
The LTC7862IFE#TRPBF detects overcurrent via differential sensing at SENSE+ and SENSE– pins, using either an external shunt resistor or inductor DCR. It limits peak current by adjusting the ITH control voltage and initiates switching regulation if the fault persists beyond the TMR-programmed duration, then enters cooldown before retry. This protects both the IC and external MOSFETs.
Can the LTC7862IFE#TRPBF operate without external MOSFETs?
No, the LTC7862IFE#TRPBF is a controller only and requires two external N-channel MOSFETs - one high-side (MTOP) and one synchronous low-side (MBOT) - to implement the buck regulator during surge events. It does not integrate power switches. Typical implementations use Infineon BSC035N10NS5 or equivalent 100V+ rated devices.
What is the purpose of the WARNB pin on the LTC7862IFE#TRPBF?
The WARNB pin on the LTC7862IFE#TRPBF is an open-drain logic output that pulls low during all switching activity - including input overvoltage, overcurrent, short-circuit, and startup events - and remains low during cooldown. It transitions to high-impedance only in steady-state dropout mode, providing real-time system-level fault status without additional monitoring circuitry.
Does the LTC7862IFE#TRPBF support both QFN and TSSOP packages interchangeably?
Yes, the LTC7862IFE#TRPBF is specified for the 20-lead 4mm × 5mm QFN (UFD) package. While the LTC7862 family includes TSSOP variants (e.g., LTC7862IFE#PBF), the #TRPBF suffix denotes tape-and-reel QFN packaging. Pinout, electrical specs, and thermal characteristics differ between UFD and FE packages - direct PCB substitution is not supported without layout revision.
