Product details
Overview
LT8210IFE#PBF from Analog Devices is a 100V input/output 4-switch synchronous buck-boost DC/DC controller with programmable non-switching pass-thru mode, ±1.25% output voltage accuracy over –40°C to 125°C, 80kHz–400kHz adjustable switching frequency, and reverse input protection down to –40V. It enables high-efficiency power conversion in automotive start-stop and ISO 7637-compliant industrial systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT8210IFE#PBF datasheet, LT8210IFE#PBF pinout, LT8210IFE#PBF application, or LT8210IFE#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include pass-thru window programming, dual-loop current monitoring (±3% accuracy), GATEVCC back-drive protection during brownout, EXTVCC switchover threshold (7.3–8.8V), and compatibility with standard-level N-channel MOSFETs.
Technical Context
The LT8210IFE#PBF implements independent buck and boost regulation loops with separate FB1 (1.00V typical) and FB2 (1.00V typical) reference inputs, enabling precise output voltage control across all operating regions. Its pass-thru mode activates when VINP is within a user-defined window relative to VOUT, bypassing switching entirely to achieve 99.9% efficiency and zero EMI.
It features dual current sense amplifiers: SNSP1/SNSN1 for cycle-by-cycle inductor current limiting (±20% tolerance) and SNSP2/SNSN2 for average input/output current monitoring and regulation (±3% accuracy). Gate drivers deliver 10V logic-level outputs with 3Ω pull-up and 1Ω pull-down resistance for TG1/TG2, supporting fast switching transitions (25ns rise time).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 2.8V to 100V (4.5V min for startup); supports wide-input industrial and automotive battery systems. |
| VOUT Range | 1V to 100V; enables flexible output configuration without external level-shifting. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1.25% over –40°C to 125°C; ensures stable regulation under thermal stress in under-hood environments. |
| Pass-Thru IQ | 18µA at VINP = 48V; minimizes quiescent consumption during non-switching operation. |
| Switching Frequency | 80kHz to 400kHz (RT-set or synchronized); allows EMI optimization and inductor size trade-offs. |

Pinout & Package
LT8210IFE#PBF is housed in a 38-lead plastic TSSOP package with exposed pad (Pin 39) soldered to PCB ground. Pin functions are validated per Analog Devices Rev. B datasheet (pages 3, 12–13).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN/UVLO (Pin 1) | Enable & undervoltage lockout input | Precision comparator with 1.45V enable threshold; tolerates –40V to 100V, enabling direct VIN connection or resistor-divider UVLO setup. |

| RT (Pin 6) | Switching frequency set resistor | Resistor-to-ground sets fSW from 80–400kHz; internal current source enables precise frequency calibration. |
| GND (Pin 7 / Exposed Pad) | Signal ground reference | Exposed thermal pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and noise performance. |
| VDD (Pin 8) | Internally regulated 3.3V supply | Provides bias for MODE/SYNC logic; requires ≥2.2µF ceramic bypass capacitor. |
| SS (Pin 9) | Soft-start timing capacitor | 5µA internal current charges external capacitor to control inrush current ramp rate. |
| IMON (Pin 10) | Average current monitor output | Sources current proportional to (SNSP2 – SNSN2); sets current limit via RIMON to ground. |
| VC1/VC2 (Pins 11–12) | Error amplifier compensation outputs | VC1 controls buck-boost/buck loops; VC2 controls pass-thru buck loop; both drive external compensation networks. |
| FB1/FB2 (Pins 13–14) | Feedback voltage inputs | FB1 = 1.00V ref for CCM/DCM/Burst/boost regulation; FB2 = 1.00V ref for pass-thru buck regulation. |

| PGND (Pin 32) | Power ground return | Separate return path for high-current switching paths; connects to PCB ground near power components. |
| BG2/SW2/BST2/TG2 (Pins 34–37) | Top/bottom gate drivers & switch nodes | Drives external N-MOSFETs in boost leg; BST2 supplies floating gate drive for TG2. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 4-switch buck-boost controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3780 | Fixed 100V max VIN; no pass-thru mode; lower IQ (25µA in Burst Mode); no reverse input protection. | Lacks non-switching efficiency optimization and –40V reverse protection; suitable only for simpler buck-boost needs without transient immunity. | Select LTC3780 only if pass-thru and reverse protection are unnecessary and cost sensitivity outweighs feature gap. |
| LT8705 | 150V max VIN; no integrated pass-thru logic; requires external comparators for window-based bypass; higher pin count. | Supports wider input but adds design complexity for pass-thru emulation; lacks single-chip reverse protection implementation. | Choose LT8705 only when >100V input is mandatory and system-level pass-thru can be implemented externally. |
Compared with LTC3780 and LT8705, the LT8210IFE#PBF uniquely integrates hardware-based pass-thru mode with automatic transition logic, 100V operation, and monolithic reverse input protection-reducing BOM count and improving transient resilience in automotive and avionics designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LT8210IFE#PBF?
The LT8210IFE#PBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 100V on VIN and VINP pins, and –40V on the DG pin. Its operational input range is 2.8V to 100V after startup (4.5V minimum for initial start-up), making it suitable for 48V and 72V industrial and automotive battery systems with surge tolerance.
How does the LT8210IFE#PBF implement pass-thru mode and what efficiency benefit does it provide?
The LT8210IFE#PBF implements pass-thru mode by comparing VINP to programmable thresholds derived from FB1 and FB2 references; when VINP falls within the window, internal switches disconnect the power path and route input directly to output. This eliminates switching losses and achieves 99.9% efficiency with only 18µA quiescent current at 48V input.
Can the LT8210IFE#PBF support reverse input protection, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the LT8210IFE#PBF supports reverse input protection down to –40V using its dedicated DG pin, which drives an external N-channel MOSFET placed between the input source and VIN. The DG driver delivers 7.0–8.5V gate voltage and includes undervoltage lockout (2.3–3.0V) to ensure safe turn-off during negative transients.
What are the key differences between the LT8210IFE#PBF and the LTC3780 in terms of functionality?
The LT8210IFE#PBF adds hardware-enforced pass-thru mode, reverse input protection to –40V, GATEVCC back-drive capability during brownout, and ±3% average current monitoring-features absent in the LTC3780. The LTC3780 offers only basic 4-switch buck-boost control with no integrated pass-thru logic or reverse protection circuitry.
Does the LT8210IFE#PBF require external components to set the pass-thru window, and how is it configured?
No external components are required to define the pass-thru window. The LT8210IFE#PBF uses its FB1 and FB2 pins-each with a 1.00V internal reference-to set upper and lower thresholds via resistor dividers from VOUT to ground. The window width and center point are fully programmable through these two independent feedback networks.
