LTC3859ALMPUHF#PBF

DC DC Switching Controllers Overview

The LTC3859ALMPUHF#PBF is a triple-output synchronous DC/DC switching regulator controller manufactured by Analog Devices. It integrates three independent channels configured as two buck and one boost converter, driving all N-channel power MOSFET stages. The device operates from a wide input voltage range of 4.5V to 38V. Output voltages are adjustable from 800mV to 24V. The controller supports a switch frequency range of 75kHz to 850kHz with phase-lock capability. Quiescent current in Burst Mode operation is specified at 28µA. Load regulation is rated at 0.01%. The unit is housed in a QFN-38 package (5x7mm) and functions within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

DC DC Switching Controllers Feature Summary

DC DC Switching Controllers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'LMPUHF' against official Analog Devices documentation to confirm pinout and thermal pad configuration. Ensure the order includes the '#PBF' designation to guarantee lead-free compliance. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number directly with the datasheet revision history to validate functional equivalence before procurement.

DC DC Switching Controllers Selection Notes

Select this component when a design requires three synchronized outputs derived from a single controller IC. The choice is appropriate for applications demanding low standby power through Burst Mode operation. Consider the QFN-38 package size constraints and thermal dissipation requirements. Verify that the external MOSFET selection supports the maximum current capabilities defined by the controller specifications.
