LTC3859AMPFE

DC DC Switching Controllers Overview

The LTC3859AMPFE is a triple-output synchronous DC/DC switching regulator controller designed for high-efficiency power management. It supports Buck, Buck, and Boost topologies with an input voltage range of 2.5V to 38V. The device drives all N-channel power MOSFET stages using a constant frequency current mode architecture. Key electrical parameters include a phase-lockable switching frequency up to 850kHz, output voltages adjustable from 0.8V to 24V (or 60V for boost), and a low operating supply current of 55µA. It features a 38-pin TSSOP-EP package and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

DC DC Switching Controllers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AMPFE' against official Analog Devices documentation to confirm package type, temperature grade, and tape/reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with required thermal dissipation solutions for the TSSOP-EP package. Cross-reference ordering information with authorized distributors to confirm availability status and lead times. Validate that the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for your target market.

DC DC Switching Controllers Selection Notes

Select this controller when designing systems requiring simultaneous buck and boost regulation from a single wide-range input. Consider the 850kHz maximum switching frequency for balancing component size and efficiency. Evaluate the need for N-channel MOSFET drivers and ensure gate drive voltages are sufficient. Assess thermal performance requirements based on the expected load currents and ambient operating conditions.
