Product details
Overview
DC1342B from Analog Devices is a high-voltage, current-mode DC/DC controller IC supporting boost, flyback, SEPIC, and inverting topologies with single-feedback-pin polarity selection. It operates from 5.5V to 100V input, delivers programmable 100kHz–1MHz switching frequency via RT resistor, features 7.2V internal LDO, <1µA shutdown current, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive power systems.
For engineers reviewing the DC1342B datasheet, DC1342B pinout, DC1342B application, or DC1342B equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, validated 10-lead DFN/MSOP package mapping, confirmed pin roles (e.g., FBX for bipolar feedback, SENSE for current sensing), and real-world design constraints including minimum on/off time (220ns), INTVCC dropout (500mV @ 10mA), and FBX regulation thresholds (1.6V / –0.8V).
Technical Context
The DC1342B implements fixed-frequency current-mode control with slope compensation, enabling stable operation across wide VIN (5.5V–100V) and VOUT ranges. Its dual-regulation FBX pin accepts either positive (1.6V reference) or negative (–0.8V reference) feedback configurations without external reconfiguration.
Internal 7.2V LDO powers the gate driver and logic; undervoltage lockout (4.5V) and overvoltage protection (17.5V) safeguard INTVCC. Soft-start (SS pin), frequency synchronization (SYNC pin), and programmable UVLO hysteresis (via SHDN/UVLO divider) are integrated for robust system-level control.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 5.5V to 100V - supports direct connection to 48V telecom, 72V industrial, or 12V–48V automotive battery rails without pre-regulation. |
| Switching Frequency | 100kHz to 1MHz - set by RT resistor; enables trade-off between efficiency (lower f) and magnetics size (higher f). |
| FBX Regulation Voltage | +1.6V or –0.8V - single-pin polarity selection eliminates need for separate positive/negative feedback networks. |
| SENSE Threshold | 110mV (typ) - defines peak switch current limit; sets maximum MOSFET conduction during transient overload. |
| Shutdown IQ | <1µA - enables long-term battery backup operation in always-on monitoring or telematics systems. |
| INTVCC LDO | 7.2V ±0.2V - powers gate driver and internal circuitry; bypass requires ≥4.7µF ceramic capacitor at pin. |
| Min On/Off Time | 220ns each - constrains maximum duty cycle at high frequencies; critical for high-VIN, low-VOUT designs. |
Pinout & Package
DC1342B is available in 10-lead (3mm × 3mm) plastic DFN and MSOP packages, both with exposed thermal pad (Pin 11 = GND). Pinout is identical across packages.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VC (Pin 1) | Error amplifier compensation node | Connects external RC network to stabilize voltage loop; directly controls PWM comparator threshold. |
| FBX (Pin 2) | Positive/negative feedback input | Dual-reference input: regulates to +1.6V for positive outputs or –0.8V for negative outputs; also triggers frequency foldback during faults. |
| SS (Pin 3) | Soft-start timing control | 10µA internal pull-up charges external capacitor; resets to GND during UVLO, INTVCC fault, or thermal shutdown. |
| RT (Pin 4) | Frequency programming input | Resistor to GND sets switching frequency; open-circuit disables operation - must not be left floating. |
| SYNC (Pin 5) | External clock synchronization input | Accepts digital clock signal; requires RT setting 20% below SYNC frequency; tied to GND if unused. |
| SENSE (Pin 6) | Current sense amplifier input | Kelvin-connected to MOSFET source-side sense resistor; monitors peak switch current for cycle-by-cycle limiting. |
| GATE (Pin 7) | N-channel MOSFET gate driver output | Swings between INTVCC and GND; actively pulled low during shutdown, thermal fault, or INTVCC UV/OV. |
| INTVCC (Pin 8) | Internal LDO output | 7.2V regulated supply for gate driver and logic; bypass with ≥4.7µF ceramic cap; can be externally powered above 7.5V. |
| SHDN/UVLO (Pin 9) | Enable/disable and input UVLO input | 1.22V falling threshold with programmable hysteresis; pulls VIN IQ to <1µA when ≤0.4V. |
| VIN (Pin 10) | Main input supply | Accepts 5.5V–100V; requires local 0.22µF+ ceramic bypass; powers internal LDO and supplies gate drive current. |
| Exposed Pad (Pin 11) | Thermal ground and current sense return | Must be soldered to PCB ground plane; serves as Kelvin return for SENSE resistor and primary thermal path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide-input, multi-topology control | Supports boost/flyback/SEPIC/inverting configurations using same IC - reduces BOM count and layout variants. |
| Bipolar feedback with single pin | FBX pin auto-selects +1.6V or –0.8V reference based on external resistor divider polarity - eliminates extra op-amps or switches. |
| Programmable UVLO with hysteresis | SHDN/UVLO pin uses 2µA internal current source and external resistors to set precise turn-on/turn-off thresholds - prevents brownout oscillation. |
| Integrated soft-start and fault protection | SS pin controls VC clamp; FBX-triggered frequency foldback limits inductor current during startup or short-circuit - avoids saturation and stress. |
| AEC-Q100 qualified variants | DC1342B maps to LT3758AIDD#WPBF/LT3758AHMSE#WPBF - certified for automotive underhood and infotainment applications (-40°C to 150°C). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage DC/DC controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3895 | Wider VIN range (4.5V–200V), integrated gate drivers, no bipolar FBX - only supports positive outputs. | Requires external inverter stage for negative outputs; better suited for ultra-high-VIN boost/flyback where DC1342B hits 100V limit. | Select LTC3895 when input exceeds 100V or integrated drivers reduce component count; avoid when bipolar output or AEC-Q100 is required. |
| LM5165 | Lower VIN max (65V), integrated 5V LDO, no SENSE pin - relies on MOSFET RDS(on) sensing; no programmable UVLO hysteresis. | Not suitable for >65V inputs or precision current limiting; lacks FBX polarity flexibility and automotive qualification. | Choose LM5165 for cost-sensitive, lower-voltage industrial supplies where AEC-Q100 and bipolar output are unnecessary. |
Compared with LTC3895 and LM5165, DC1342B uniquely combines 100V operation, single-pin bipolar feedback, AEC-Q100 qualification, and programmable UVLO hysteresis - making it optimal for automotive and industrial converters requiring both positive and negative regulated outputs from wide-range inputs.

FAQ
What topology configurations does DC1342B support?
DC1342B supports boost, flyback, SEPIC, and inverting converter topologies. Its current-mode architecture and dual-reference FBX pin enable seamless configuration for either positive or negative output voltages without changing external components. The IC drives an external N-channel MOSFET and uses the SENSE pin for accurate peak-current limiting in all modes. This flexibility makes DC1342B ideal for multi-rail power systems where space and BOM count are constrained.
How is the switching frequency set on DC1342B?
DC1342B switching frequency is set using an external resistor connected from the RT pin to GND. The value determines frequency across a 100kHz–1MHz range - for example, 41.2kΩ yields ~300kHz. The RT pin must never be left floating. For synchronization, a digital clock applied to the SYNC pin overrides the RT setting, provided the RT resistor is chosen for a frequency 20% slower than the SYNC signal. DC1342B maintains stable operation regardless of VIN variation within its 5.5V–100V range.
What is the function of the FBX pin on DC1342B?
The FBX pin on DC1342B serves as the dual-mode feedback input: it regulates to +1.6V for positive-output configurations (boost/flyback/SEPIC) or to –0.8V for negative-output inverting configurations. The selection is automatic based on the external resistor divider's polarity and voltage level. Additionally, FBX triggers frequency foldback during overcurrent or startup faults, and its voltage level directly modulates the error amplifier output (VC pin) to maintain regulation. This eliminates the need for separate positive/negative feedback circuits.
Does DC1342B include built-in protection features?
Yes, DC1342B integrates multiple protection functions: programmable input UVLO with hysteresis (via SHDN/UVLO pin), INTVCC UV/OV lockout (4.5V/17.5V), thermal shutdown (~165°C), cycle-by-cycle current limiting (110mV SENSE threshold), and FBX overvoltage lockout (±8–11% of reference). Soft-start (SS pin) prevents inrush, and frequency foldback limits inductor current during faults. These features ensure robust operation in automotive and industrial environments without requiring external supervision circuitry.
Is DC1342B qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, DC1342B corresponds to AEC-Q100 qualified variants including LT3758AIDD#WPBF (DFN, –40°C to 125°C) and LT3758AHMSE#WPBF (MSOP, –40°C to 150°C). These versions undergo controlled manufacturing, extended reliability testing, and failure analysis per automotive standards. They are approved for use in engine control units, ADAS modules, and infotainment systems where high-temperature operation and long-term reliability are mandatory. DC1342B's 100V rating also handles automotive load-dump transients up to ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a.
