Product details
Overview
LT8336EV#PBF from Analog Devices is a 40V, 2.5A synchronous step-up DC/DC converter with Silent Switcher architecture, 300kHz–3MHz programmable switching frequency, 0.3µA shutdown quiescent current, and PassThru™ mode for VIN ≥ VOUT operation. It integrates dual 40V MOSFETs and supports automotive preboost and industrial power supply applications requiring low EMI and high light-load efficiency.
For engineers reviewing the LT8336EV#PBF datasheet, LT8336EV#PBF pinout, LT8336EV#PBF application, or LT8336EV#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 16-lead 3mm × 3mm LQFN package, AEC-Q100 qualification (E-grade), 100% duty cycle capability in PassThru mode, spread-spectrum EMI reduction, and dual-mode light-load control (Burst Mode® or pulse-skipping).
Technical Context
The LT8336EV#PBF employs fixed-frequency current-mode control with internal slope compensation and dual-MOSFET synchronous rectification. Its PassThru mode activates when VIN ≥ VOUT, disabling the top switch and holding the bottom switch continuously on to minimize conduction loss.
EMI suppression is achieved via integrated Silent Switcher architecture-requiring two matched 1µF capacitors between VOUT pins (6 & 7) and adjacent GND pins (5 & 8)-and optional spread-spectrum frequency modulation (±0.45% center frequency deviation, ±20% range) selectable via SYNC/MODE pin configuration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 40V - supports wide-range industrial and automotive battery inputs including cold-crank (4.5V) and load-dump (36V) conditions. |
| Output Current Capability | 2.5A continuous - determined by integrated 40V/70mΩ bottom and 75mΩ top MOSFETs with thermal derating above 125°C junction temperature. |
| Quiescent Current (Burst Mode) | 4µA at VIN - enables >10-year battery life in always-on IoT sensors and telematics modules. |
| Switching Frequency Range | 300kHz to 3MHz - adjustable via RT resistor; 2MHz setting avoids AM band and enables compact 6.8µH inductor use. |
| FB Regulation Accuracy | ±0.6% over –40°C to 125°C - ensures stable 24V output across automotive temperature extremes without external trimming. |
| PassThru Threshold | VIN – VOUT ≤ 0V (rising), ≤ –0.6V (falling) - enables seamless transition to direct conduction with <100ns response time during input voltage surges. |
| EMI Performance | CISPR 25 Class 5 compliant - peak radiated emissions <40dBµV/m at 100–1000MHz with SSFM enabled, eliminating need for external EMI filters. |
Pinout & Package
LT8336EV#PBF uses a 16-lead 3mm × 3mm LQFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 17 = GND). The package meets MSL Level 3 and is RoHS-compliant with Au (e4) finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SYNC/MODE (1) | Mode selection & sync input | Selects Burst Mode®, pulse-skipping, or external clock sync; configures SSFM; ignored during PassThru or startup. |
| RT (2) | Frequency programming | Resistor-to-GND sets switching frequency from 300kHz–3MHz; open-circuit not allowed. |
| GND (3,5,8,17) | Power & signal ground | Exposed pad (17) must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal dissipation (θJCbottom = 8.2°C/W) and EMI loop closure. |
| FB (4) | Feedback input | Monitors output via resistor divider; 1.000V nominal reference enables precise 24V output with 0.1% resistor tolerance. |
| VOUT (6,7) | Output power terminals | Dual pins reduce IR drop and enable Silent Switcher capacitor placement: one 1µF cap per pin to adjacent GND (5 & 8). |
| SW (9,10,11) | Switch node | Three paralleled pins handle high di/dt; connect directly to inductor and CBST capacitor anode. |
| BST (12) | Bootstrap supply | 0.1µF ceramic capacitor between BST and SW provides gate drive voltage for top MOSFET. |
| VIN (13) | Main input supply | Accepts 2.7–40V; powers INTVCC LDO and supplies energy to boost stage; requires local 10µF ceramic input capacitance. |
| EN/UVLO (14) | Enable & undervoltage lockout | 1.0V threshold with 100mV hysteresis; 0.3µA shutdown current enables battery cutoff at 3.3V with 1MΩ divider. |
| INTVCC (15) | Internal 3.5V regulator bypass | Must be decoupled with ≥1µF ceramic cap; supplies gate drivers; no external loading permitted. |
| PG (16) | Power good flag | Open-drain output pulled low if VOUT deviates >±8%, EN/UVLO <1V, INTVCC fault, or thermal shutdown occurs. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous step-up converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT8337EV#PBF | Higher 5A output current, 60V rating, same pinout and feature set; 1.2V FB reference vs 1.0V. | Required for >2.5A loads or 40–60V input ranges; not drop-in due to different feedback divider ratio. | Select LT8337EV#PBF only when output current exceeds 2.5A or input voltage exceeds 40V. |
| TPS61088RHLR | 2.7–12V input, 5.5A max, no PassThru mode, no SSFM, 1.2V FB, QFN-20 package. | Limited to low-voltage consumer applications; lacks automotive qualification and EMI-hardened architecture. | Use TPS61088RHLR only in cost-sensitive, non-automotive designs where input stays below 12V and EMI is unregulated. |
Compared with LT8336EV#PBF, LT8337EV#PBF delivers higher current but requires FB resistor recalibration, while TPS61088RHLR offers higher peak current at lower voltage but lacks PassThru, SSFM, and AEC-Q100 support-making LT8336EV#PBF the optimal choice for automotive and industrial 2.7–40V boost applications demanding low EMI and ultra-low IQ.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage supported by the LT8336EV#PBF?
The LT8336EV#PBF does not impose a hard upper limit on output voltage; it is constrained by external component ratings and layout parasitics. The IC's 40V-rated internal MOSFETs and 40V absolute maximum ratings on VIN/VOUT pins allow safe operation up to 36V output in typical applications. For 48V systems, external clamping or cascaded topology is required. The LT8336EV#PBF's feedback loop maintains regulation accuracy regardless of output voltage setting, provided the FB divider tolerances and noise immunity are maintained.
Does the LT8336EV#PBF require external compensation components?
No, the LT8336EV#PBF features fully internal compensation, eliminating the need for external Type II or Type III compensation networks. This simplifies design, reduces BOM count, and improves layout robustness across its full 2.7–40V input range and 300kHz–3MHz switching frequency span. Stability is guaranteed with standard output capacitor ESR values (1–50mΩ) and inductor DCR <100mΩ, as verified in the datasheet's stability analysis section for the LT8336EV#PBF.
How does PassThru™ mode operate in the LT8336EV#PBF?
In PassThru™ mode, the LT8336EV#PBF disables the top MOSFET and holds the bottom MOSFET continuously on when VIN ≥ VOUT, effectively shorting input to output through the inductor and synchronous switch. This occurs automatically without control pin intervention, with hysteresis (–0.6V falling threshold) preventing chatter. During PassThru, the LT8336EV#PBF draws only 15µA quiescent current and maintains PG assertion as long as output remains within ±8% regulation.
Can the LT8336EV#PBF synchronize to an external clock?
Yes, the LT8336EV#PBF supports external clock synchronization via the SYNC/MODE pin (Pin 1). When a clean digital clock signal with ≥100ns pulse width is applied, the LT8336EV#PBF locks its switching frequency to the external source and operates in pulse-skipping mode at light loads. An RT resistor should still be installed to set a fallback frequency; mismatched SYNC and RT frequencies may cause subharmonic oscillation.
What is the thermal performance of the LT8336EV#PBF in its LQFN package?
The LT8336EV#PBF in its 3mm × 3mm LQFN package has θJCbottom = 8.2°C/W and θJA = 42.8°C/W (with 2-layer 1oz copper, 1in² exposed pad). At 2.5A output and 12V input → 24V output, typical power dissipation is ~1.2W, resulting in ~100°C junction rise above ambient with proper PCB copper pour. Derating begins above 125°C junction temperature; the LT8336EV#PBF includes thermal shutdown at ~170°C to prevent damage.
