Product details
Overview
LT3757AEMSE#PBF from Analog Devices is a wide-input (2.9V–40V), current-mode DC/DC controller for boost, flyback, SEPIC, and inverting topologies, driving external N-channel MOSFETs with an internal 7.2V LDO gate supply. It features programmable 50kHz–1MHz switching frequency, <1µA shutdown current, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive use.
For engineers reviewing the LT3757AEMSE#PBF datasheet, LT3757AEMSE#PBF pinout, LT3757AEMSE#PBF application, or LT3757AEMSE#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-polarity feedback capability (±0.8V/1.6V FBX reference), soft-start and frequency foldback for short-circuit protection, and thermally enhanced 10-pin MSOP package with exposed pad.
Technical Context
The LT3757AEMSE#PBF implements fixed-frequency current-mode control with slope compensation, enabling stable regulation across wide input/output voltage ranges and fast transient response. Its error amplifier supports both positive- and negative-output configurations via a single FBX pin with dual reference thresholds (1.6V for positive, –0.8V for negative outputs).
It integrates a 7.2V low-dropout regulator (LDO) for gate drive, programmable UVLO on SHDN/UVLO with hysteresis, and synchronization capability via the SYNC pin-requiring RT biasing 20% below external clock frequency. Minimum on/off times are each 220ns, limiting maximum duty cycle and minimum achievable output voltage in certain topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.9V to 40V - supports direct battery input (e.g., 3S Li-ion, 12V/24V automotive rails) without pre-regulation. |
| Switching Frequency | 50kHz to 1MHz - set by RT resistor; enables trade-off between efficiency (lower f) and magnetics size (higher f). |
| FBX Reference Voltage | +1.6V or –0.8V - single-pin polarity selection enables boost/flyback (positive) or inverting (negative) output without hardware change. |
| SENSE Threshold | 110mV (typ) - sets peak switch current limit; determines max power handling with external sense resistor. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - enables long-term battery operation in always-on systems like telematics or ADAS sensors. |
| INTVCC Regulator | 7.2V ±0.2V - powers gate driver and internal circuitry; bypass requires ≥4.7µF ceramic capacitor at pin. |
| Package | 10-Lead MSOP (3mm × 3mm) with exposed thermal pad - θJA = 40°C/W; requires soldered GND pad for thermal reliability. |
Pinout & Package
LT3757AEMSE#PBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 10-lead plastic MSOP package (3mm × 3mm) with exposed pad (Pin 11) that must be soldered to PCB ground for thermal and electrical integrity. Maximum junction temperature is 125°C for E-grade operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VC (Pin 1) | Error amplifier compensation node | Connects external RC network to stabilize voltage loop; clamped during soft-start and fault conditions. |
| FBX (Pin 2) | Feedback input / polarity selector | Dual-reference input: +1.6V for positive outputs, –0.8V for negative outputs; also triggers frequency foldback near GND. |
| SS (Pin 3) | Soft-start timing node | 10µA pull-up to 2.5V rail; external capacitor sets ramp time; reset by UV/OV/thermal events. |
| RT (Pin 4) | Oscillator frequency programming | Resistor to GND sets switching frequency (50kHz–1MHz); open-circuit disables operation. |
| SYNC (Pin 5) | External clock synchronization input | Accepts digital clock; requires RT biasing 20% below sync frequency; ignored when FBX ≈ GND. |
| SENSE (Pin 6) | Current sense comparator input | Kelvin-connected to high-side of sense resistor; monitors switch current for peak limiting and PWM control. |
| GATE (Pin 7) | N-MOSFET gate driver output | Swings between INTVCC and GND; forced low during shutdown, thermal lockout, 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 control | 1.22V falling threshold with programmable hysteresis; pulls VIN IQ below 1µA when ≤0.4V. |
| VIN (Pin 10) | Main input supply | 2.9V–40V input; requires local 0.22µF+ ceramic bypass; powers internal LDO and logic. |
| Exposed Pad (Pin 11) | Thermal & signal ground | Must be soldered to PCB ground plane; serves as SENSE return path and primary thermal conduction path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide input range with low start-up voltage | Operates down to 2.9V VIN - enables direct interface with single-cell Li-ion or 3.3V logic rails without boost pre-regulator. |
| Dual-polarity feedback architecture | Single FBX pin supports both +1.6V (boost/flyback/SEPIC) and –0.8V (inverting) configurations - reduces BOM count and layout complexity. |
| Programmable soft-start and frequency foldback | SS pin controls controlled output ramp; foldback reduces frequency during overcurrent - limits inductor stress and prevents saturation at startup/fault. |
| AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade E) | Rated for –40°C to +125°C junction temperature - validated for automotive infotainment, lighting, and ADAS subsystems. |
| Low shutdown quiescent current | <1µA VIN supply current in shutdown - extends battery life in always-on vehicle modules (e.g., CAN wake-up receivers). |

FAQ
What is the key functional difference between LT3757AEMSE#PBF and LT3757EMSE#PBF?
The LT3757AEMSE#PBF features improved load transient performance compared to the LT3757EMSE#PBF, as confirmed in the datasheet's "Features" section and typical performance curves. Both share identical pinout, package, temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), and core specifications-including 2.9V–40V input, 50kHz–1MHz frequency range, and dual FBX reference. The "A" suffix denotes this specific enhancement, making LT3757AEMSE#PBF preferable for applications with dynamic load steps, such as LED dimming or RF amplifier biasing.
Can LT3757AEMSE#PBF generate negative output voltages, and how is it configured?
Yes, LT3757AEMSE#PBF supports negative output generation in inverting converter topology. Configuration requires pulling the FBX pin to –0.8V using an external resistor divider from VOUT to GND. This activates comparator A2 (per Block Diagram Fig. 1), enabling non-inverting amplification from FBX to VC. The datasheet confirms this dual-polarity capability under "DESCRIPTION" and "APPLICATIONS INFORMATION", with explicit reference to –0.8V regulation and inverting configuration.
What is the recommended minimum capacitor value for INTVCC bypassing on LT3757AEMSE#PBF?
The datasheet specifies a minimum 4.7µF ceramic capacitor placed immediately adjacent to the INTVCC and GND pins for effective bypassing. This value is mandated in the "INTVCC Regulator Bypassing and Operation" section (page 10) to handle high transient gate-drive currents and prevent INTVCC droop during switching. Using lower capacitance risks instability, premature UVLO triggering, or reduced gate drive strength-especially at high frequencies or with large MOSFETs.
Does LT3757AEMSE#PBF require an external resistor on the RT pin, and what happens if it's omitted?
Yes, LT3757AEMSE#PBF requires an external resistor from RT (Pin 4) to GND for proper oscillator operation. The datasheet states "Do not leave this pin open" in the "PIN FUNCTIONS" section (page 7). An open RT pin results in undefined or disabled switching behavior-confirmed by the absence of any "no-resistor" operating mode in Electrical Characteristics or Typical Performance graphs. RT values are tabulated for 50kHz–1000kHz; omission prevents functional operation.
Is LT3757AEMSE#PBF pin-compatible with LT3757EMSE#PBF, and can they be interchanged on the same PCB?
Yes, LT3757AEMSE#PBF and LT3757EMSE#PBF are pin-compatible and share identical 10-pin MSOP package dimensions, pinout, and footprint. The order information table (page 2) lists both with identical "PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: 10-Lead (3mm × 3mm) Plastic MSOP" and "PART MARKING*: LTDYX". No layout changes are needed for substitution, though firmware or compensation networks may require adjustment if leveraging the LT3757A's enhanced transient response.
