Product details
Overview
LT8336EV#WPBF from Analog Devices is a low-quiescent-current, synchronous step-up DC/DC converter with Silent Switcher architecture and PassThru™ operation. It integrates 40V/2.5A power switches, operates from 2.7V to 40V input, delivers up to 40V output, supports 300kHz–3MHz programmable switching frequency, and achieves 0.3µA shutdown current - ideal for automotive pre-boost and industrial battery-powered systems requiring ultra-low standby power and EMI-constrained environments.
For engineers reviewing the LT8336EV#WPBF datasheet, LT8336EV#WPBF pinout, LT8336EV#WPBF application, or LT8336EV#WPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100% duty-cycle PassThru capability, AEC-Q100 qualification (Grade E, –40°C to 125°C), integrated spread-spectrum modulation, dual VOUT pins for EMI cancellation, and 4µA Burst Mode quiescent current at light load.
Technical Context
The LT8336EV#WPBF employs fixed-frequency current-mode control with internal slope compensation and dual MOSFET drivers. Its architecture enables seamless transition between boost and PassThru modes when VIN ≥ VOUT, maintaining regulation via synchronous rectification without external diode.
It features a dedicated SYNC/MODE pin supporting five configurations - including Burst Mode, Pulse-Skipping, SSFM, and external clock synchronization - and integrates internal compensation, soft-start, power-good flag (PG), and overvoltage lockout, eliminating need for external loop compensation or supervision ICs in most designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 40V - supports wide-range battery and automotive rail inputs, including cold-crank (4.5V) and load-dump (36V) conditions. |
| Output Voltage Range | Up to 40V - programmable via FB resistor divider; regulated by 1.000V ±0.6% reference for <±1% output accuracy. |
| Switching Frequency | 300kHz to 3MHz - set by RT resistor; 2MHz typical in automotive applications to avoid AM band interference. |
| Quiescent Current | 4µA in Burst Mode - enables >1-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes with µA-level average load. |
| PassThru Threshold | VIN – VOUT ≤ 0V (rising), ≤ –0.6V (falling) - enables lossless conduction path when input exceeds output, reducing heat and improving efficiency. |
| EMI Performance | CISPR 25 Class 5 compliant - achieved via Silent Switcher layout (dual VOUT pins + matched capacitors) and optional spread-spectrum modulation. |
| Thermal Rating | Junction temperature range: –40°C to 125°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade E for under-hood automotive use. |
Pinout & Package
LT8336EV#WPBF uses a 16-lead, 3mm × 3mm LQFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 17 = GND). The package is RoHS-compliant, e4 Au finish, MSL Level 3, and thermally optimized with θJCbottom = 8.2°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SYNC/MODE (1) | Mode selection & sync input | Selects Burst/Pulse-Skipping/SSFM/Sync via voltage/resistor; ignored during PassThru or startup. |
| RT (2) | Frequency programming | Resistor-to-GND sets fSW from 300kHz–3MHz; open circuit disables operation. |
| GND (3,5,8,17) | Power & signal ground | Multiple GND pins + exposed pad ensure low-impedance return path for high di/dt SW node and thermal dissipation. |
| FB (4) | Feedback input | Monitors output via resistive divider; 1.000V reference enables precise output setting with <±1% tolerance. |
| VOUT (6,7) | Boost output terminals | Dual pins enable symmetric Silent Switcher capacitor placement (1µF each to adjacent GND pins) for EMI cancellation. |
| SW (9,10,11) | Power switch node | Three paralleled pins reduce resistance and inductance for 2.5A continuous switch current and fast edge control. |
| BST (12) | Bootstrap supply | Drives top MOSFET gate; requires 0.1µF ceramic capacitor between BST and SW for reliable high-side turn-on. |
| VIN (13) | Main input supply | Accepts 2.7V–40V; powers internal LDO (INTVCC) and supplies energy to inductor during boost phase. |
| EN/UVLO (14) | Enable & undervoltage lockout | 1.0V threshold with 100mV hysteresis; allows programmable VIN turn-on/off using external resistor divider. |
| INTVCC (15) | Internal 3.5V regulator bypass | Must be decoupled with ≥1µF ceramic cap; powers gate drivers and bias circuits - no external loading permitted. |
| PG (16) | Power good indicator | 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#WPBF | Higher 3.5A switch current rating; identical pinout and feature set; wider 2.5V–40V input range. | Better suited for >1.5A output loads or higher VIN minima (e.g., 2.5V coin-cell start-up). | Select LT8337EV#WPBF when output current exceeds 1.2A or input may drop below 2.7V. |
| TPS61088RHLR | 2.7V–12V input only; 3.5A switch; no PassThru, no SSFM, no AEC-Q100; smaller 3mm × 2mm QFN. | Limited to consumer-grade portable electronics; lacks automotive qualification and EMI mitigation features. | Choose TPS61088RHLR only for cost-sensitive, non-automotive, sub-12V-input applications where EMI is not regulated. |
Compared with LT8337EV#WPBF, the LT8336EV#WPBF offers lower quiescent current (4µA vs 6µA Burst Mode) and tighter FB reference (±0.6% vs ±1.5%), making it superior for ultra-low-power automotive sensing; versus TPS61088RHLR, it provides full automotive qualification, PassThru, and CISPR 25 compliance - essential for safety-critical or EMI-regulated deployments.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage supported by the LT8336EV#WPBF?
The LT8336EV#WPBF supports output voltages up to 40V, limited by its internal 40V power switches and absolute maximum ratings. Output is set via the FB resistor divider referenced to the 1.000V internal bandgap; stable regulation is maintained across load, line, and temperature when proper compensation and layout guidelines are followed. The LT8336EV#WPBF does not include overvoltage protection beyond its internal 40V switch rating - external OVLO is recommended for safety-critical systems.
Does the LT8336EV#WPBF require external compensation components?
No, the LT8336EV#WPBF features fully internal compensation - no external Type II or Type III compensation network is needed. This simplifies design, reduces bill-of-materials count, and improves consistency across manufacturing lots and temperature variations. All loop stability is handled internally, verified across the full operating range (–40°C to 125°C) and input/output conditions specified in the datasheet. The LT8336EV#WPBF maintains stable operation with standard ferrite-core inductors and ceramic output capacitors.
How does PassThru™ mode operate in the LT8336EV#WPBF?
In PassThru™ mode, the LT8336EV#WPBF disables switching and turns on the bottom MOSFET continuously while keeping the top MOSFET off, effectively shorting VIN to VOUT through the inductor and synchronous switch. This occurs automatically when VIN rises above VOUT (with hysteresis), reducing conduction loss to <75mΩ and eliminating switching losses. The LT8336EV#WPBF draws only 15µA in this state and maintains regulation solely via the feedback loop's ability to detect and hold VOUT within ±8%.
Is the LT8336EV#WPBF pin-compatible with other members of the LT833x family?
Yes, the LT8336EV#WPBF shares identical pinout, package (16-lead 3mm × 3mm LQFN), and footprint with LT8337EV#WPBF and LT8330EV#WPBF. However, differences exist in switch current rating (2.5A vs 3.5A vs 1.5A), input voltage minimum (2.7V vs 2.5V vs 2.8V), and feature subsets (e.g., LT8330 lacks SSFM). The LT8336EV#WPBF is not pin-compatible with non-LT833x boost converters such as TPS61088 or MAX17222 due to differing pin functions and internal architectures.
What layout practices are critical for achieving CISPR 25 Class 5 compliance with the LT8336EV#WPBF?
To meet CISPR 25 Class 5, the LT8336EV#WPBF requires strict adherence to Silent Switcher layout rules: place two 1µF X7R ceramic capacitors - one between Pin 6 (VOUT) and Pin 5 (GND), another between Pin 7 (VOUT) and Pin 8 (GND) - with minimal trace length and direct connection to the exposed pad. The inductor must be placed adjacent to SW pins, and the BST capacitor must be <2mm from Pin 12 to SW. Ground plane integrity beneath the IC and thermal pad soldering are mandatory. The LT8336EV#WPBF achieves Class 5 only when these layout constraints are met and SSFM is enabled.
