Product details
Overview
LTC7862IUFD#PBF 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 voltage (up to 60V), programmable fault timer, and dual N-channel MOSFET gate drive. It is used in automotive load dump protection compliant with ISO 7637 and MIL-STD-1275.
For engineers reviewing the LTC7862IUFD#PBF datasheet, LTC7862IUFD#PBF pinout, LTC7862IUFD#PBF application, or LTC7862IUFD#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (4V–140V), adjustable VOUT clamp (up to 60V), 20-pin 4mm × 5mm QFN package, programmable switching frequency (50kHz–900kHz), and integrated fault timer with cooldown/retry behavior.
Technical Context
The LTC7862IUFD#PBF implements a peak-current-mode synchronous buck controller architecture with fast current comparator and adjustable ITH-based current limit. Its dual gate drivers (TG/BG) support external N-channel MOSFETs in high-side/low-side configuration, with BOOST charge pump enabling high-side drive during pass-through and switching modes.
It features two independent LDOs: INTVCC (5.0V ±3%) for internal analog/digital circuits and DRVCC (6.0V or 9.0V selectable via DRVUV pin) for gate drivers. The TMR pin controls both switching duration during faults and cooldown timing using an external capacitor, enforcing strict thermal budgeting by limiting high-loss operation.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the LTC7862IUFD#PBF can withstand?
The LTC7862IUFD#PBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 150V, with guaranteed operation from 4V to 140V. This makes it suitable for protecting downstream circuits against severe transients such as ISO 7637 load dump (100V/400ms) and MIL-STD-1275E surges (100V/500ms). Operation beyond 140V is not specified and may compromise reliability or safety margins.
How does the LTC7862IUFD#PBF handle normal operation versus overvoltage events?
The LTC7862IUFD#PBF operates in 100% duty-cycle pass-through mode during normal input conditions - turning on the top N-MOSFET continuously to minimize voltage drop and power loss. During overvoltage, overcurrent, or startup events, it switches into synchronous buck regulation to clamp VOUT at a user-defined level. This dual-mode architecture ensures high efficiency in steady state and robust protection during faults.
Can the LTC7862IUFD#PBF be used with DCR current sensing?
Yes, the LTC7862IUFD#PBF supports both discrete RSENSE and inductor DCR current sensing via its differential SENSE+ and SENSE– inputs. When using DCR sensing, an RC network filters the inductor voltage to derive a proportional current signal. This eliminates the need for a separate sense resistor, reducing power loss and board space - especially beneficial in high-current applications like 20A automotive power distribution.
What is the purpose of the TMR pin on the LTC7862IUFD#PBF?
The TMR pin on the LTC7862IUFD#PBF sets both the maximum allowable switching duration during overvoltage, overcurrent, or startup events and the cooldown period before automatic retry. An external capacitor determines these times (e.g., 55ms initial fault window and 1700ms cooldown per µF). This feature enforces thermal safety by preventing indefinite high-loss operation - allowing external components to be sized for pass-through mode rather than worst-case surge conditions.
Does the LTC7862IUFD#PBF support external gate drive supply?
Yes, the LTC7862IUFD#PBF supports an external gate drive supply via the EXTVCC pin. When EXTVCC exceeds its switchover threshold (4.7V or 7.7V depending on DRVUV pin state), the internal LDO automatically switches from VIN to EXTVCC to power DRVCC. This enables efficient gate drive from a dedicated low-noise supply - improving noise immunity and reducing power loss in high-frequency or high-current designs.
