Product details
Overview
LT8337EV#PBF from Analog Devices is a low-quiescent-current, synchronous step-up DC/DC converter with Silent Switcher architecture and PassThru mode. It integrates 28V/5A power switches, operates from 2.7V to 28V input, delivers up to 26V output, and supports programmable switching frequency from 300kHz to 3MHz. It is used in battery-powered systems requiring ultralow EMI and high efficiency at light loads.
For engineers reviewing the LT8337EV#PBF datasheet, LT8337EV#PBF pinout, LT8337EV#PBF application, or LT8337EV#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4µA Burst Mode quiescent current, 100% duty-cycle PassThru capability for VIN > VOUT, integrated 28V/5A MOSFETs, SSFM-enabled CISPR Class 5 EMI compliance, and PG flag for output monitoring.
Technical Context
The LT8337EV#PBF uses fixed-frequency current-mode control with slope compensation and an internal 3.5V INTVCC regulator. Its block diagram confirms dual-MOSFET synchronous topology with M1 (top) and M2 (bottom) switches, error amplifier feedback via FB, and power-good monitoring via open-drain PG pin.
PassThru mode activates automatically when VIN exceeds VOUT by >0 V (rising) or >–0.6 V (falling), disabling M1 and holding M2 fully on-enabling direct conduction with minimal dropout. The SYNC/MODE pin selects among five operational modes including Burst, Pulse-Skipping, SSFM, and external synchronization.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 28V - supports wide battery chemistries (Li-ion, LiFePO₄, multi-cell alkaline) without pre-regulation |
| Output Voltage Range | Up to 26V - programmable via FB resistor divider; enables single-stage boost for industrial sensors or display bias rails |
| VIN Quiescent Current | 4µA in Burst Mode - extends battery life in always-on IoT nodes with intermittent wake cycles |
| Switching Frequency | 300kHz–3MHz (programmable via RT resistor) - balances inductor size vs. efficiency; 2MHz typical for compact 2.2µH designs |
| Integrated Power Switches | 28V/5A synchronous MOSFETs - eliminates external FETs and gate drivers; reduces BOM count and layout area |
| EMI Performance | CISPR 25 Class 5 compliant with SSFM enabled - meets automotive EMC requirements without added shielding or filters |
| PassThru Threshold | VIN – VOUT ≥ 0 V (rising) - enables seamless transition to direct conduction when input exceeds output, minimizing power loss |
Pinout & Package
LT8337EV#PBF is housed in a 16-lead 3mm × 3mm LQFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 17 = GND). The package supports 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 via voltage/resistor; ignored during PassThru or startup |
| RT (2) | Frequency programming | Resistor to GND sets fSW from 300kHz–3MHz; must not be left floating |
| GND (3,5,8,17) | Power & signal ground | Exposed pad (17) must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and EMI performance |
| FB (4) | Feedback input | Monitors output via resistor divider; regulates VOUT to 1.000V ±0.6% over temperature |
| VOUT (6,7) | Output power terminals | Two dedicated pins for Silent Switcher capacitor placement: each requires 1µF ceramic to adjacent GND pin |
| SW (9,10,11) | Switch node | Three paralleled pins connect to inductor and BST capacitor; reduce conduction loss and EMI loop area |
| BST (12) | Bootstrap supply | 0.1µF capacitor between BST and SW supplies top MOSFET gate driver |
| VIN (13) | Main input supply | Accepts 2.7V–28V; powers INTVCC LDO and internal circuitry |
| EN/UVLO (14) | Enable & undervoltage lockout | Shuts down IC below 0.94V (falling); 90mV hysteresis prevents chatter near threshold |
| INTVCC (15) | Internal 3.5V regulator bypass | Requires ≥1µF ceramic cap to GND; no external loading permitted |
| PG (16) | Power good indicator | Open-drain output pulled low if VOUT deviates >±8%, EN/UVLO <1V, INTVCC low, or thermal shutdown |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Silent Switcher architecture | Dual VOUT-to-GND capacitors (pins 6–5 and 7–8) form EMI-cancelling loops, enabling Class 5 radiated/conducted EMI compliance |
| PassThru™ mode | 100% duty cycle operation when VIN > VOUT - eliminates switching loss and reduces dropout to ~35mV (M2 RDS(on)) |
| Low IQ Burst Mode | 4µA VIN quiescent current at light load - extends runtime in battery-powered applications with infrequent activity |
| Programmable soft-start | Soft-start time set by RT value (e.g., 1.4ms at 47.5kΩ) - prevents inrush current and output overshoot during startup |
| Output overvoltage lockout | Hardware protection triggers if FB rises >12% above regulation - safeguards downstream components from fault conditions |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT8337JV#PBF | Same electrical specs but rated for –40°C to 150°C junction temperature; higher θJA (42.8°C/W same, but wider temp range validated) | Required for under-hood automotive or industrial environments exceeding 125°C ambient | Select LT8337JV#PBF when operating junction temperature may exceed 125°C; otherwise LT8337EV#PBF suffices for most commercial/industrial use. |
| LT8337EV-1#PBF | Replaces PG pin with VC pin for external loop compensation; removes power-good flag; retains identical switching, PassThru, and EMI performance | Suitable where fast transient response is prioritized over output monitoring (e.g., FPGA core rails) | Choose LT8337EV-1#PBF only when external compensation is needed for dynamic load steps; retain LT8337EV#PBF for systems requiring PG confirmation. |
Compared with LT8337JV#PBF and LT8337EV-1#PBF, the LT8337EV#PBF uniquely combines power-good monitoring, –40°C to 125°C operation, and integrated PG functionality-making it optimal for battery-powered systems needing both reliability assurance and extended runtime.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage supported by the LT8337EV#PBF?
The LT8337EV#PBF supports output voltages up to 26V, set by the external resistor divider on the FB pin. Its internal feedback reference is 1.000V ±0.6% over temperature, and the device maintains regulation accuracy across its full input range (2.7V–28V) and load conditions. This makes the LT8337EV#PBF suitable for applications such as display bias supplies and industrial sensor excitation rails.
How does PassThru mode operate in the LT8337EV#PBF?
PassThru mode in the LT8337EV#PBF activates automatically when VIN exceeds VOUT by ≥0 V (rising threshold). In this state, the top switch (M1) turns off permanently and the bottom switch (M2) remains fully on, creating a low-dropout path from VIN to VOUT through the inductor and M2's RDS(on) (~35 mΩ). The LT8337EV#PBF draws only 15µA in this mode, enabling high-efficiency operation during input-over-output conditions without switching losses.
What is the purpose of the dual VOUT pins (6 and 7) on the LT8337EV#PBF?
The dual VOUT pins (6 and 7) on the LT8337EV#PBF enable Analog Devices' Silent Switcher architecture: one 1µF capacitor must be placed between Pin 6 and adjacent GND (Pin 5), and another between Pin 7 and adjacent GND (Pin 8). These form complementary high-frequency current loops that cancel magnetic fields, reducing radiated EMI by up to 20 dB. This configuration is mandatory to achieve CISPR 25 Class 5 compliance with the LT8337EV#PBF.
Can the LT8337EV#PBF synchronize to an external clock?
Yes, the LT8337EV#PBF can synchronize to an external clock applied to the SYNC/MODE pin (Pin 1). When an external clock signal within 300kHz–3MHz is present, the device enters synchronized pulse-skipping mode. This feature allows timing alignment with system clocks or other converters to avoid beat frequencies and simplify EMI filtering-critical in multi-rail power systems where the LT8337EV#PBF is deployed alongside other switching regulators.
What is the minimum recommended output capacitance for stable operation of the LT8337EV#PBF?
The LT8337EV#PBF requires two 1µF ceramic capacitors-one between VOUT (Pin 6) and GND (Pin 5), and another between VOUT (Pin 7) and GND (Pin 8)-as part of its Silent Switcher layout. Additionally, ≥2.2µF bulk capacitance must be placed close to the IC with low-ESR characteristics. Total effective output capacitance should be ≥4.7µF to ensure stability across load transients and maintain <1% output ripple in pulse-skipping mode; insufficient capacitance risks loop instability and PG flag false triggering.
