Product details
Overview
LT3758AEMSE#PBF from Analog Devices is a wide-input (5.5V–100V), current-mode DC/DC controller supporting boost, flyback, SEPIC, and inverting topologies with single-feedback-pin polarity selection. It delivers 100kHz–1MHz programmable switching frequency, <1µA shutdown current, and integrated 7.2V LDO for gate drive - enabling high-reliability 12V telecom power supplies and automotive infotainment voltage rails.
For engineers reviewing the LT3758AEMSE#PBF datasheet, LT3758AEMSE#PBF pinout, LT3758AEMSE#PBF application, or LT3758AEMSE#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include input UVLO hysteresis programming, FBX dual-reference operation (±0.8V/1.6V), SENSE threshold accuracy (110mV typ), INTVCC dropout behavior at VIN = 6V, and thermal derating for MSE-package θJA = 40°C/W.
Technical Context
The LT3758AEMSE#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 dual-reference error amplifier (1.6V for positive outputs, –0.8V for negative) enables topology-agnostic feedback without external op-amps.
Frequency is set via RT resistor (10.5kΩ–140kΩ) or synchronized externally via SYNC pin with 20% slower internal setting; soft-start is capacitor-programmed at SS pin with 10µA pull-up; SHDN/UVLO uses 1.22V internal reference and 2µA hysteresis current source for precise input voltage turn-on/turn-off thresholds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 5.5V to 100V - supports direct connection to 48V telecom or 72V automotive battery systems without pre-regulation. |
| Switching Frequency | 100kHz to 1MHz - adjustable via RT resistor; enables trade-off between efficiency (lower f) and magnetics size (higher f). |
| SENSE Threshold | 110mV (typ) - sets peak switch current limit; stable over temperature (±5mV drift from –40°C to 125°C). |
| FBX Reference | +1.6V or –0.8V - selectable by output polarity; eliminates need for external inverting amplifiers in negative-output designs. |
| INTVCC Regulator | 7.2V ±0.2V LDO - powers gate driver; dropout ≤500mV at 10mA allows operation down to VIN = 6V. |
| Shutdown IQ | <1µA - enables multi-year battery life in always-on vehicle subsystems or remote sensors. |
| Package | 10-Lead MSOP (3mm × 3mm) with exposed pad - θJA = 40°C/W; requires soldered GND pad for thermal integrity. |
Pinout & Package
LT3758AEMSE#PBF is housed in a 10-lead plastic MSOP package (3mm × 3mm) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 11) that must be soldered to PCB ground for thermal performance (θJA = 40°C/W). The package is RoHS-compliant and rated for –40°C to +125°C operating junction temperature.
| 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) | Positive/negative feedback input | Accepts resistor-divider voltage from output; selects 1.6V (positive VOUT) or –0.8V (negative VOUT) reference internally. |
| SS (Pin 3) | Soft-start timing control | 10µA pull-up to 2.5V rail; external capacitor sets startup ramp time; reset by UVLO or thermal lockout. |
| RT (Pin 4) | Frequency programming input | Resistor-to-GND sets switching frequency; open-circuit disables operation; 10.5kΩ–140kΩ range covers 1MHz–100kHz. |
| SYNC (Pin 5) | External clock synchronization | Accepts digital clock signal; forces operation at SYNC frequency when active; tie to GND if unused. |
| SENSE (Pin 6) | Current sense input | Kelvin-connected to high-side of current-sense resistor; ±0.3V absolute max; 110mV threshold triggers immediate MOSFET turn-off. |
| GATE (Pin 7) | N-channel MOSFET gate driver | Swings from INTVCC to GND; driven low during shutdown, thermal fault, or INTVCC UV/OV; 22ns rise/20ns fall (CL = 3.3nF). |
| INTVCC (Pin 8) | Internal LDO output | 7.2V regulated supply for logic and gate driver; bypass with ≥4.7µF ceramic cap; can be disabled by connecting to external ≥7.5V source. |
| SHDN/UVLO (Pin 9) | Enable/disable and input UV detection | 1.22V falling threshold with programmable hysteresis; 0.4V logic-low disables IC and reduces VIN IQ to <1µA. |
| VIN (Pin 10) | Main input supply | 5.5V–100V input; bypass with ≥0.22µF ceramic cap near pin; powers internal LDO and bias circuits. |
| Exposed Pad (Pin 11) | Thermal and electrical ground | Must be soldered to PCB GND plane; serves as return path for SENSE current and primary thermal conduction path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Topology Flexibility | Single IC supports boost, flyback, SEPIC, and inverting configurations via FBX reference selection and external component arrangement. |
| Load Transient Performance | LT3758A variant improves load step response vs. LT3758 due to enhanced error amplifier bandwidth and compensation stability. |
| Programmable UVLO Hysteresis | 2µA internal pull-down current enables precise rising/falling thresholds using two external resistors - critical for battery-powered brownout recovery. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3758EMSE#PBF | Same pinout and topology support, but LT3758 (not A) variant has slower load transient response and no AEC-Q100 qualification. | Acceptable for industrial non-automotive use where cost sensitivity outweighs transient performance or automotive compliance. | Select LT3758EMSE#PBF only if design does not require AEC-Q100 or improved transient behavior - verified in LT3758A datasheet Rev H, p.1. |
| MAX17595ATP+T | 4.5V–60V input range, 100kHz–2.2MHz frequency, no dual-reference FBX; requires external inverter for negative outputs. | Suitable for lower-input-voltage telecom or industrial apps; lacks 100V capability and integrated negative-reference path of LT3758AEMSE#PBF. | Choose MAX17595ATP+T only when input stays below 60V and negative outputs are not required - confirmed via Maxim datasheet DS4422. |
Compared with LT3758EMSE#PBF, the LT3758AEMSE#PBF adds AEC-Q100 qualification and faster load transient response; versus MAX17595ATP+T, it provides 100V input tolerance and native negative-output capability - making it uniquely suited for automotive and high-voltage industrial flyback/SEPIC designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LT3758AEMSE#PBF?
The LT3758AEMSE#PBF has an absolute maximum VIN rating of 100V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table (Rev H, p.2). This allows direct interface with 72V battery systems and withstands automotive load-dump transients without external clamping. Operation above 100V risks permanent damage per Note 1.
How does LT3758AEMSE#PBF support both positive and negative output voltages?
The LT3758AEMSE#PBF uses a dual-reference error amplifier: FBX regulates to +1.6V for boost/flyback/SEPIC (positive outputs) or –0.8V for inverting configurations (negative outputs). No external op-amp is needed - the IC automatically selects the active reference based on FBX voltage polarity, as detailed in the Applications Information section (Rev H, p.10).
What is the purpose of the exposed pad on LT3758AEMSE#PBF?
The exposed pad (Pin 11) on LT3758AEMSE#PBF serves as both thermal conduction path and electrical ground return. It must be soldered to a PCB copper plane to achieve the specified θJA = 40°C/W for the MSOP package. It also functions as the Kelvin return for the SENSE current path, minimizing measurement error from PCB trace resistance.
Can LT3758AEMSE#PBF synchronize to an external clock, and what are the requirements?
Yes - the SYNC pin (Pin 5) accepts external TTL/CMOS clock signals. To ensure reliable locking, the internal RT-set frequency must be 20% slower than the SYNC frequency, and the SYNC pulse width must exceed 200ns. If synchronization is unused, SYNC must be tied to GND per Pin Functions description (Rev H, p.8).
What is the minimum off-time specification for LT3758AEMSE#PBF, and why does it matter?
The LT3758AEMSE#PBF has a typical minimum off-time of 220ns (Electrical Characteristics, Rev H, p.3). This limits the maximum duty cycle and thus constrains the achievable step-up ratio in boost or flyback topologies at high frequencies - e.g., at 1MHz, max theoretical duty is ~69%, affecting VOUT/VIN ratios in high-voltage-gain applications.
