Product details
Overview
LT4320IN8-1#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an ideal diode bridge controller IC that drives four external N-channel MOSFETs to replace passive diode bridges in polarity-agnostic AC/DC rectification circuits. It supports DC to 600Hz typical input frequency, operates from 9V to 72V output voltage range, delivers ≤40mV top-side source-drain regulation (ΔVSD), and draws only 1.5mA quiescent current - enabling high-efficiency power delivery in security cameras and PoE-powered devices.
For engineers reviewing the LT4320IN8-1#PBF datasheet, LT4320IN8-1#PBF pinout, LT4320IN8-1#PBF application, or LT4320IN8-1#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600Hz rectification capability (vs. 60Hz for LT4320), 8-lead PDIP package with exposed pad tied to OUTN, 8–35mV ΔVSD tolerance, fast reverse-current turn-off, and all-NMOS topology eliminating PMOS cost and size penalties.
Technical Context
The LT4320IN8-1#PBF implements a synchronous rectification control architecture using dual top-gate (TG1/TG2) and dual bottom-gate (BG1/BG2) drivers to actively steer conduction paths across four external NMOS transistors. Its internal charge pump enables full NMOS operation without external bias rails, while UVLO (6.2–7.0V) and precise gate drive thresholds (1.3–3.7V) ensure reliable turn-on under low-voltage conditions.
Unlike standard diode bridges, it regulates forward voltage drop via closed-loop gate control - maintaining ΔVSD ≤40mV at full load - and features fast turn-off (<1μs) during input short or failure to suppress reverse current transients. The device is rated for –40°C to +85°C junction temperature and requires OUTN-connected exposed pad for thermal management.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Frequency Range | DC to 600Hz typical - enables use with higher-frequency AC inputs (e.g., 400Hz aircraft power) where standard LT4320 fails. |
| Output Voltage Range | 9V to 72V - powers downstream circuitry directly and defines minimum/maximum system input compliance. |
| Top-Side ΔVSD | 26mV (typ), 55mV (max) - sets maximum forward voltage drop per conducting path, directly reducing power loss vs. 0.7V diodes. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.5mA (typ) - determines no-load power overhead in always-on systems like surveillance cameras. |
| UVLO Threshold | 6.2V to 7.0V - prevents erratic startup below valid operating voltage, ensuring clean enablement at ≥9V OUTP. |
| Gate Drive Voltage | TGn: 6.6–10.8V; BGn: 7.0–12V - sufficient to fully enhance logic-level and standard-threshold NMOS FETs without external boost. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - validated for industrial and outdoor embedded applications including IP cameras and remote sensors. |
Pinout & Package
LT4320IN8-1#PBF uses the 8-lead narrow-body PDIP (N8) package (3.3mm × 10.16mm), with Pin 9 as exposed thermal pad internally connected to OUTN. The package has no NC pins and requires soldering the exposed pad to a PCB copper pour tied to OUTN for thermal dissipation (θJC = 45°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1 (Pin 8) | Bridge Input 1 | Connects to MTG1 source and MBG2 drain - one AC/DC input terminal of the rectifier bridge. |
| IN2 (Pin 1) | Bridge Input 2 | Connects to MTG2 source and MBG1 drain - second AC/DC input terminal; polarity-agnostic with IN1. |
| TG1 (Pin 7) | Top Gate Driver 1 | Drives gate of MTG1; active during positive half-cycle on IN1 to conduct from IN1 → OUTP. |
| TG2 (Pin 2) | Top Gate Driver 2 | Drives gate of MTG2; active during positive half-cycle on IN2 to conduct from IN2 → OUTP. |
| BG1 (Pin 4) | Bottom Gate Driver 1 | Drives gate of MBG1; active during negative half-cycle on IN2 to conduct from OUTN → IN2. |
| BG2 (Pin 3) | Bottom Gate Driver 2 | Drives gate of MBG2; active during negative half-cycle on IN1 to conduct from OUTN → IN1. |
| OUTP (Pin 6) | Positive Rectified Output | Supplies regulated positive rail to load; powers LT4320 internal circuitry and must be ≥9V for operation. |
| OUTN (Pin 5) | Negative Rectified Output | System ground reference; connects to sources of MBG1/MBG2 and exposed thermal pad (Pin 9). |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ideal diode bridge controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT4320IN8#PBF | Rated for DC to 60Hz typical input frequency; lower ΔVSD (8–35mV) but unsuitable for >100Hz AC. | Best for 50/60Hz mains-powered equipment; cannot support 400Hz aircraft or high-frequency UPS inputs. | Select LT4320IN8#PBF only when input is strictly line-frequency AC or stable DC - not for wide-frequency or aerospace use. |
| LTC4359IMS8#PBF | Single-path ideal diode controller (2-pin OR-ing), 4V–80V range, 0.5μs turn-off, no bridge topology. | Supports dual-input redundancy but lacks 4-FET bridge functionality - cannot replace diode bridges or handle AC inputs. | Choose LTC4359IMS8#PBF for simple DC source OR-ing; use LT4320IN8-1#PBF when AC rectification or true bridge replacement is required. |
Compared with LT4320IN8#PBF, the LT4320IN8-1#PBF trades slightly higher ΔVSD for 10× higher usable AC frequency - making it the only option for 400Hz airborne systems. Versus LTC4359IMS8#PBF, it provides full bridge control at the cost of higher component count but enables AC compatibility and polarity independence impossible with single-path controllers.

FAQ
What is the maximum AC input frequency supported by the LT4320IN8-1#PBF?
The LT4320IN8-1#PBF is specified for DC to 600Hz typical rectification. While higher frequencies may be achievable depending on MOSFET selection and load current, 600Hz represents the validated upper limit per the official datasheet - distinguishing it from the standard LT4320IN8#PBF (60Hz typical). This makes LT4320IN8-1#PBF suitable for 400Hz military and aviation power systems.
Does the LT4320IN8-1#PBF require external components to operate?
Yes, the LT4320IN8-1#PBF requires four external N-channel MOSFETs (two top-side, two bottom-side), plus at minimum a 1µF ceramic capacitor placed directly across OUTP and OUTN. A bulk electrolytic capacitor (≥10µF) is also recommended. No external bias supply or bootstrap capacitors are needed due to its integrated charge pump - simplifying design versus discrete gate driver solutions.
How does the LT4320IN8-1#PBF handle input short-circuit events?
The LT4320IN8-1#PBF features fast turn-off circuitry that minimizes reverse current transients when an input fails or is shorted. During such events, gate drive is rapidly removed from conducting MOSFETs - limiting reverse current duration to sub-microsecond timescales. This protects upstream sources and prevents damage to downstream bulk capacitors, a key reliability advantage over passive diode bridges.
Can the LT4320IN8-1#PBF be used with 12V DC input?
Yes, the LT4320IN8-1#PBF supports 9V to 72V output voltage range, making it fully compatible with 12V DC input systems. When used with 12V DC, it functions as a polarity-agnostic input stage - accepting either +12V or –12V on IN1/IN2 and delivering correctly polarized 12V to OUTP/OUTN. Its 1.5mA quiescent current ensures minimal standby loss in always-on 12V applications.
What is the purpose of the exposed pad on the LT4320IN8-1#PBF PDIP package?
The exposed pad (Pin 9) on the LT4320IN8-1#PBF is a thermal pad that must be soldered to a PCB copper pour connected to OUTN. It serves as the primary thermal conduction path - with θJC = 45°C/W - and is essential for maintaining safe junction temperature under sustained load. Leaving it unconnected or floating violates the absolute maximum ratings and risks thermal shutdown or permanent damage to the LT4320IN8-1#PBF.
