Product details
Overview
LT3757EDD#PBF from Analog Devices is a wide-input current-mode DC/DC controller for boost, flyback, SEPIC, and inverting topologies, driving external N-channel MOSFETs with an internal 7.2V LDO gate driver. It operates from 2.9V to 40V input, supports ±1.6V/–0.8V feedback regulation, delivers programmable 50kHz–1MHz switching, and features <1µA shutdown current - enabling high-efficiency battery-powered LED drivers and automotive power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LT3757EDD#PBF datasheet, LT3757EDD#PBF pinout, LT3757EDD#PBF application, or LT3757EDD#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-polarity feedback capability, soft-start and frequency foldback for short-circuit protection, AEC-Q100 qualification (E-grade), and thermal performance in the 3mm × 3mm DFN package with exposed pad.
Technical Context
The LT3757EDD#PBF implements fixed-frequency current-mode control with slope compensation, where SENSE voltage plus ramp is compared to VC to determine MOSFET on-time. Its error amplifier supports both positive (1.6V) and negative (–0.8V) FBX reference modes, enabling seamless topology reconfiguration without hardware change.
It integrates a 7.2V LDO regulator (INTVCC) with UVLO (2.7V) and OVLO (17.5V) protection, programmable SHDN/UVLO threshold (1.22V nominal falling), and SYNC pin for external clock synchronization - requiring RT resistor programming 20% below SYNC frequency when used.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.9V to 40V - supports direct connection to 12V/24V automotive rails and single-cell Li+ to multi-cell battery stacks. |
| Feedback Reference | +1.6V or –0.8V - enables single-pin polarity selection for boost/flyback (positive) or inverting (negative) output configurations. |
| Switching Frequency | 50kHz to 1MHz via RT resistor - trade-off between efficiency (lower f) and magnetics size (higher f); minimum on/off time = 220ns. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA at SHDN/UVLO = 0V - preserves battery life in always-on systems like telematics or sensor nodes. |
| SENSE Threshold | 110mV typical - sets peak inductor current limit; supports precise overcurrent protection with Kelvin sensing. |
| INTVCC Regulation | 7.2V ±0.2V - powers gate driver and internal circuitry; bypass requires ≥4.7µF ceramic capacitor adjacent to pin. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C junction - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade E for under-hood automotive use. |
Pinout & Package
LT3757EDD#PBF uses a thermally enhanced 10-lead (3mm × 3mm) plastic DFN package with exposed pad (Pin 11) soldered to PCB ground for optimal thermal dissipation (θJA = 43°C/W).
| 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. |
| FBX (Pin 2) | Positive/negative feedback input | Dual-reference pin: regulates to +1.6V (boost/flyback/SEPIC) or –0.8V (inverting); triggers frequency foldback near GND. |
| SS (Pin 3) | Soft-start timing node | 10µA pull-up to 2.5V rail; external capacitor sets startup ramp; reset by UV/OV/thermal faults. |
| RT (Pin 4) | Frequency programming input | Resistor to GND sets oscillator frequency (50kHz–1MHz); must not be left floating. |
| SYNC (Pin 5) | External clock synchronization input | Accepts digital clock; overrides RT setting if active; tie to GND for free-running operation. |
| SENSE (Pin 6) | Current sense input | Kelvin-connected to MOSFET source resistor; compares against 110mV threshold for cycle-by-cycle current limiting. |
| GATE (Pin 7) | N-channel MOSFET gate driver output | Swings between INTVCC and GND; forced low during shutdown, thermal lockout, or INTVCC fault. |
| INTVCC (Pin 8) | Internal LDO output | 7.2V regulated supply for gate driver and logic; bypass with ≥4.7µF ceramic; can be externally powered above 7.5V. |
| SHDN/UVLO (Pin 9) | Enable and input undervoltage detection | 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; bypass with ≥0.22µF ceramic capacitor close to pin. |
| Exposed Pad (Pin 11) | Ground and current sense return | Must be soldered to PCB ground plane; serves as SENSE negative reference and primary thermal path. |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the maximum switching frequency supported by the LT3757EDD#PBF?
The LT3757EDD#PBF supports a programmable switching frequency range of 50kHz to 1MHz using an external resistor on the RT pin. At 10.5kΩ to GND, it achieves 1MHz operation; minimum on-time and off-time are both 220ns, limiting practical maximum duty cycle at high frequencies. The LT3757EDD#PBF datasheet specifies this range under standard conditions (VFBX = 1.6V, TA = 25°C), with temperature drift less than ±5% across –40°C to 125°C.
Can the LT3757EDD#PBF generate a negative output voltage?
Yes, the LT3757EDD#PBF can generate a negative output voltage using inverting topology. It achieves this via the FBX pin's dual-reference capability: when configured for negative regulation, FBX is pulled to –0.8V, activating comparator A2 for non-inverting amplification to VC. This allows single-pin polarity selection without external component changes. The LT3757EDD#PBF's block diagram and application notes confirm inverting converter implementation with proper resistor divider biasing.
What is the purpose of the exposed pad on the LT3757EDD#PBF DFN package?
The exposed pad (Pin 11) on the LT3757EDD#PBF serves two critical functions: it is the primary thermal conduction path to the PCB ground plane (reducing θJA to 43°C/W), and it acts as the reference return for the SENSE pin's Kelvin connection. Per the datasheet, it must be soldered directly to a solid copper ground plane; failure to do so risks thermal runaway and inaccurate current sensing. The LT3757EDD#PBF's absolute maximum ratings specify that the exposed pad is electrically GND.
How does the LT3757EDD#PBF handle overvoltage conditions on the FBX pin?
The LT3757EDD#PBF includes dedicated overvoltage comparators for both polarities: A11 triggers when FBX exceeds +1.6V by 8% (≈+1.728V), and A12 triggers when FBX falls below –0.8V by 11% (≈–0.888V). Both generate reset pulses to the main SR latch, forcing GATE low and halting switching until FBX returns within safe bounds. This protects downstream components during start-up overshoot or short-circuit recovery. The LT3757EDD#PBF datasheet confirms these thresholds and hysteresis values in the Electrical Characteristics table.
Is the LT3757EDD#PBF pin-compatible with the LT3757AEDD#PBF?
Yes, the LT3757EDD#PBF is fully pin-compatible and footprint-compatible with the LT3757AEDD#PBF. Both share identical DFN-10 (3mm × 3mm) packaging, pin numbering, electrical connections, and functional pin definitions. The LT3757AEDD#PBF adds improved load transient performance but maintains backward compatibility - allowing drop-in replacement in existing designs where enhanced dynamic response is required. The LT3757EDD#PBF and LT3757AEDD#PBF are explicitly listed in the same order table with matching marking codes (LDYW) and package descriptions.
