Product details
Overview
LT8337EV-1#PBF from Analog Devices is a low-quiescent-current, synchronous step-up DC/DC converter with Silent Switcher architecture and external compensation capability. It integrates 28V/5A power switches, supports 2.7V–28V input, delivers up to 26V output, operates at 300kHz–3MHz, and enables PassThru mode for VIN > VOUT battery systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT8337EV-1#PBF datasheet, LT8337EV-1#PBF pinout, LT8337EV-1#PBF application, or LT8337EV-1#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include external VC compensation for fast transient response, ultralow EMI performance per CISPR25 Class 5, 15µA PassThru quiescent current, and 16-lead 3mm × 3mm LQFN package with exposed thermal pad.
Technical Context
The LT8337EV-1#PBF implements fixed-frequency current-mode control with programmable switching frequency (300kHz–3MHz) and selectable operating modes via SYNC/MODE pin-including Burst Mode, Pulse-Skipping, and SSFM. Its internal 28V/5A synchronous MOSFETs support 100% duty cycle in PassThru mode when VIN exceeds VOUT.
Unlike the LT8337 variant, the LT8337EV-1#PBF features VC pin for external loop compensation-enabling precise bandwidth and phase margin tuning-and omits the PG (Power Good) flag. It maintains identical Silent Switcher topology, dual-VOUT capacitor layout for EMI cancellation, and thermal performance (–40°C to 125°C junction).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 28V - supports single-cell Li-ion to 24V industrial rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Range | Up to 26V - programmable via FB resistor divider; enables high-side bias for gate drivers or op-amp supplies. |
| Switching Frequency | 300kHz to 3MHz - set by RT-to-GND resistor; higher frequencies allow smaller inductors (e.g., 1.5μH at 3MHz). |
| VIN Quiescent Current | 23µA (typ) in PassThru mode - extends battery runtime when input voltage exceeds regulated output. |
| VC Pin Transconductance | 0.4mS - defines error amplifier gain for stable external compensation network design. |
| EMI Performance | CISPR25 Class 5 compliant - achieved via integrated Silent Switcher architecture and mandatory dual 1µF VOUT–GND capacitors. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C (junction) - qualified for automotive cabin and industrial edge applications. |
Pinout & Package
LT8337EV-1#PBF uses a 16-lead, 3mm × 3mm LQFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 17 = GND). The package provides θJCbottom = 8.2°C/W for efficient PCB heat sinking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SYNC/MODE (1) | Mode selection & sync input | Selects Burst/Pulse-Skipping/SSFM/Sync modes; ignored during PassThru or startup. |
| RT (2) | Frequency programming | Resistor-to-GND sets switching frequency (300kHz–3MHz); open circuit not allowed. |
| GND (3,5,8,17) | Ground reference & thermal path | Exposed pad (Pin 17) must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and EMI performance. |
| FB (4) | Feedback input | Monitors output voltage via resistor divider; regulates VOUT to 1.000V (±1.2%) reference. |
| VOUT (6,7) | Output power terminals | Must connect two separate 1µF ceramic caps (VOUT–GND) to enable Silent Switcher EMI cancellation. |
| SW (9,10,11) | Switch node | Connects to inductor and BST capacitor; carries high di/dt; requires tight layout to minimize EMI. |
| BST (12) | Bootstrap supply | 0.1µF capacitor between BST and SW powers top MOSFET gate driver. |
| VIN (13) | Main input supply | Accepts 2.7V–28V; powers internal LDO (INTVCC) and high-side switch driver. |
| EN/UVLO (14) | Enable & undervoltage lockout | Shuts down IC below ~1.0V; allows programmable turn-on threshold using resistor divider. |
| INTVCC (15) | Internal 3.5V regulator bypass | Requires ≥1µF low-ESR ceramic cap; powers gate drivers and control logic; no external load permitted. |
| VC (16) | Error amplifier output & compensation | Connects to external RC network for loop stability tuning; replaces PG pin of LT8337 variant. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Silent Switcher architecture | Dual, matched VOUT–GND capacitor paths cancel magnetic fields, enabling CISPR25 Class 5 radiated/conducted EMI compliance without shielding. |
| External VC compensation | Enables full control over loop bandwidth and phase margin-critical for fast transient response in dynamic load applications like RF power amplifiers. |
| PassThru mode operation | 100% duty cycle with synchronous MOSFET on-reduces dropout to <600mV and cuts quiescent current to 23µA when VIN > VOUT. |
| Spread spectrum modulation (SSFM) | ±0.45% frequency dither over ±20% range-lowers peak EMI by spreading energy across spectrum, easing EMC certification. |
| Low IQ Burst Mode | 23µA typical VIN quiescent current at light loads-extends battery life in always-on IoT sensors and portable medical devices. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT8337EV#PBF | Includes PG pin for power-good monitoring; lacks VC pin-uses internal compensation only. | Preferred where system-level fault reporting (e.g., MCU reset on output fault) is required over loop tuning flexibility. | Select LT8337EV#PBF if power sequencing or fault detection is critical; avoid if custom loop response is needed. |
| TPS61088RHLR | Lower max input (18V), no PassThru mode, no SSFM, higher 25µA quiescent current in light-load PFM mode. | Suitable for cost-sensitive consumer electronics where CISPR25 compliance is not mandated. | Choose TPS61088RHLR for non-automotive, non-industrial designs with ≤18V input and relaxed EMI requirements. |
Compared with LT8337EV#PBF, the LT8337EV-1#PBF trades power-good signaling for external loop control-enabling faster transient response in dynamic loads-while both share identical efficiency, EMI performance, and PassThru capability. Against TPS61088RHLR, LT8337EV-1#PBF offers superior input range, lower quiescent current, and certified EMI reduction at the cost of higher BOM complexity.

FAQ
What is the key functional difference between LT8337EV-1#PBF and LT8337EV#PBF?
The LT8337EV-1#PBF replaces the PG (Power Good) pin with a VC (Voltage Compensation) pin for external loop compensation, enabling precise bandwidth and phase margin tuning. In contrast, the LT8337EV#PBF provides an open-drain PG flag for output voltage monitoring but uses internal compensation only. Both share identical switching performance, Silent Switcher architecture, PassThru capability, and package.
Does LT8337EV-1#PBF support spread spectrum frequency modulation (SSFM)?
Yes, LT8337EV-1#PBF supports SSFM when the SYNC/MODE pin is pulled to INTVCC or driven with a 50kΩ resistor to GND. SSFM spreads the switching frequency by ±0.45% over ±20% of fSW, reducing peak radiated and conducted EMI to meet CISPR25 Class 5 requirements without additional filtering components.
What is the minimum recommended output capacitance for stable operation of LT8337EV-1#PBF?
LT8337EV-1#PBF requires two 1µF ceramic capacitors-one between Pin 6 (VOUT) and Pin 5 (GND), and another between Pin 7 (VOUT) and Pin 8 (GND)-to complete the Silent Switcher EMI cancellation loop. Additional bulk capacitance (≥2.2µF) should be placed close to the IC. Total effective capacitance must be verified against loop stability with the chosen external VC compensation network.
Can LT8337EV-1#PBF operate with input voltage higher than output voltage?
Yes, LT8337EV-1#PBF supports PassThru mode when VIN exceeds VOUT. In this mode, the top synchronous MOSFET remains fully on and the bottom switch stays off, effectively shorting VIN to VOUT through the inductor and MOSFET-achieving <600mV dropout and reducing VIN quiescent current to 23µA (typical), ideal for battery systems during discharge.
What thermal considerations apply to LT8337EV-1#PBF in high-power operation?
LT8337EV-1#PBF has θJCbottom = 8.2°C/W, requiring the exposed pad (Pin 17) to be soldered to a solid PCB ground plane for optimal heat transfer. At full 5A load and high VIN/VOUT differentials, junction temperature must stay ≤125°C. Derating is advised above 85°C ambient; thermal vias under the pad and copper pour improve dissipation.
