Product details
Overview
LT8331EMSE#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a current-mode DC/DC converter IC with a 140V, 0.5A integrated power switch, operating from 4.5V to 100V input. It supports boost, SEPIC, flyback, and inverting topologies using a single FBX feedback pin, delivers 48V output in typical SEPIC configurations, and achieves 6µA quiescent current in Burst Mode for ultra-low-power industrial and automotive power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LT8331EMSE#TRPBF datasheet, LT8331EMSE#TRPBF pinout, LT8331EMSE#TRPBF application, or LT8331EMSE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 140V switch rating, programmable 100–500kHz switching frequency, BIAS pin for efficiency optimization, ±0.8V/1.6V dual-polarity FBX regulation, and thermally enhanced MSOP-16EP package with high-voltage spacing.
Technical Context
The LT8331EMSE#TRPBF implements fixed-frequency current-mode control with internal compensation, enabling stable operation across wide VIN (4.5V–100V) and VOUT ranges. Its dual-amplifier FBX architecture selects between +1.6V (positive output) or –0.8V (negative output) reference based on external resistor divider polarity, eliminating topology-specific pins.
Switching mode is selected via SYNC/MODE pin: ground enables Burst Mode (6µA IQ, low ripple), INTVCC enables pulse-skipping, and external clock enables synchronization up to 625kHz. Frequency foldback activates when FBX approaches 0V during start-up or fault, extending minimum off-time to prevent inductor current runaway.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 100V - supports wide-range industrial, telecom, and automotive battery inputs without pre-regulation. |
| Switch Rating | 140V, 0.5A - enables 48V SEPIC and flyback designs with margin for transients and leakage spikes. |
| Quiescent Current | 6µA in Burst Mode - sustains >10-year battery life in always-on remote sensors and telematics. |
| Switching Frequency | 100kHz to 500kHz (programmable via RT resistor) - balances EMI, size, and efficiency for compact PCB layouts. |
| FBX Regulation | +1.60V or –0.80V - single-pin support for both positive and negative outputs eliminates external level-shifting circuitry. |
| BIAS Pin Function | Accepts 4.4V–(VIN–0.4V) supply - reduces VIN load by powering INTVCC regulator externally, improving full-load efficiency by ~2%. |
| Operating Junction Temp | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial environments per AEC-Q100. |
Pinout & Package
LT8331EMSE#TRPBF uses a thermally enhanced 16-lead plastic MSOP package with four pins removed (pins 2, 4, 13, 15) to increase creepage/clearance for high-voltage isolation. Exposed pad (Pin 17) is PGND/GND and must be soldered to a continuous copper plane for thermal management (θJC = 10°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN/UVLO (1) | Enable / Undervoltage Lockout Input | 1.6V falling threshold disables switching; 1.74V rising threshold resumes operation - allows precise system-level brownout protection. |
| VIN (3) | Main Input Supply | 4.5V–100V input path; requires local 10µF ceramic bypass near pin and exposed pad to minimize noise and voltage drop. |
| INTVCC (5) | Internal 3.2V Regulator Output | Supplies gate drivers and logic; must be bypassed with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor - no external loading permitted. |
| BIAS (7) | Secondary Supply for INTVCC | When 4.4V ≤ BIAS ≤ VIN–0.4V, powers INTVCC regulator - reduces VIN current draw and improves efficiency at all loads. |
| FBX (9) | Feedback Input | Single pin accepts either positive (1.6V ref) or negative (–0.8V ref) output divider - eliminates topology-specific feedback networks. |
| RT (10) | Frequency Programming | Resistor to GND sets fSW from 100kHz to 500kHz - enables EMI tuning and inductor size optimization. |
| SS (11) | Soft-Start Control | 2µA constant-current charge into external capacitor - controls inductor current ramp rate to prevent saturation and overshoot. |
| SYNC/MODE (12) | Mode Selection / Clock Sync | GND = Burst Mode; INTVCC = pulse-skipping; external clock = sync - provides flexible light-load behavior and system timing coordination. |
| SW1, SW2 (14, 16) | Power Switch Outputs | Drain/source terminals of internal 140V/0.5A MOSFET - require minimal trace area and direct connection to transformer/inductor to reduce EMI. |
| PGND/GND (17) | Power & Signal Ground | Exposed pad serves as primary thermal path and low-impedance return - must be fully soldered to inner/outer ground planes. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single FBX Topology Flexibility | Supports boost, SEPIC, flyback, and inverting configurations with identical pinout and feedback network - reduces BOM and layout variants. |
| Burst Mode with 6µA IQ | Maintains regulation while drawing only 6µA from VIN at light loads - extends battery runtime without sacrificing output ripple (<20mV typical). |
| Programmable UVLO Threshold | Resistive divider on EN/UVLO pin sets custom turn-on/turn-off voltages (e.g., 36V–60V for 48V systems) - prevents erratic startup during battery sag. |
| Frequency Foldback Protection | Reduces fSW when FBX ≈ 0V during start-up or fault - ensures sufficient off-time to prevent inductor current runaway and switch overcurrent. |
| AEC-Q100 Qualified | Rated for automotive applications (Grade E, –40°C to +125°C) - includes production flow, stress testing, and failure analysis per automotive reliability standards. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DC/DC controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3891EMSE#TRPBF | 2-phase synchronous buck controller; 4–60V input; no integrated switch; requires external MOSFETs. | Higher efficiency at >2A loads; unsuitable for isolated or negative-output topologies. | Select LTC3891EMSE#TRPBF only for high-current non-isolated step-down where external FETs are acceptable. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the LT8331EMSE#TRPBF?
The LT8331EMSE#TRPBF supports an absolute maximum input voltage of 100V on the VIN pin, with guaranteed operation from 4.5V to 100V. This range enables direct use in 48V industrial systems, 24V/48V automotive architectures, and telecom equipment without external pre-regulation. The 140V-rated internal switch provides headroom for transient suppression and leakage spikes.
How does the LT8331EMSE#TRPBF achieve 6µA quiescent current?
The LT8331EMSE#TRPBF achieves 6µA quiescent current in Burst Mode operation by entering deep sleep cycles between short energy pulses delivered to the output capacitor. During sleep, most internal circuitry is disabled, and only essential bias currents remain active. This architecture maintains output regulation while minimizing average input current - critical for battery-powered applications like telematics and remote sensors.
Can the LT8331EMSE#TRPBF generate negative output voltages?
Yes, the LT8331EMSE#TRPBF can generate negative output voltages using its inverting topology configuration. When the FBX pin is pulled below GND via a resistor divider from the negative output, the internal –0.80V reference engages, enabling precise regulation of negative rails such as –12V or –15V without additional op-amps or level-shifters - confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table and Block Diagram.
What package type is used for the LT8331EMSE#TRPBF?
The LT8331EMSE#TRPBF uses a 16-lead plastic MSOP package with four pins removed (pins 2, 4, 13, 15) to increase high-voltage creepage and clearance. The exposed pad (Pin 17) is electrically and thermally connected to PGND/GND and must be soldered to a PCB ground plane to achieve θJC = 10°C/W and ensure reliable operation at full load and temperature.
Does the LT8331EMSE#TRPBF support external clock synchronization?
Yes, the LT8331EMSE#TRPBF supports external clock synchronization via the SYNC/MODE pin. Applying a square wave (20–80% duty cycle, 0.6V–2.4V thresholds) synchronizes the internal oscillator to frequencies from 100kHz to 625kHz. This feature enables EMI reduction in dense PCB layouts and timing coordination across multiple converters in multi-rail systems.
