Product details
Overview
LT8342RV#PBF from Analog Devices is a 40V, 9A synchronous step-up DC/DC converter with Silent Switcher architecture, input disconnect capability, and PassThru™ mode. It delivers up to 36V output from 2.8V–40V input, operates down to 350nA shutdown current, supports 300kHz–3MHz programmable switching frequency, and integrates dual 40V/9A NMOS power switches. It is used in automotive pre-boost and industrial high-reliability boost supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LT8342RV#PBF datasheet, LT8342RV#PBF pinout, LT8342RV#PBF application, or LT8342RV#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100% duty cycle PassThru operation, ultralow EMI emissions, 24-pin LQFN package thermal performance, and 21-step internal VOUT programming via VSET1/VSET2 pins.
Technical Context
The LT8342RV#PBF implements a current-mode synchronous boost topology with integrated top/bottom 40V NMOS switches (25mΩ/30mΩ typical RDS(ON)). Its Silent Switcher architecture uses symmetrical layout and dual input paths to suppress common-mode EMI, while optional spread spectrum modulation further reduces peak radiated emissions.
It features three distinct light-load operating modes-Burst Mode (9μA IQ), Pulse-Skipping, and PassThru™ (12μA IQ when VIN ≥ VOUT)-and includes dedicated GATE driver for external N-channel input-disconnect FET, enabling reverse-current blocking and controlled VIN turn-on/off via EN/UVLO threshold (1.02V typ).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.8V to 40V - supports cold-crank automotive (4.5V) and wide-input industrial rails without external LDO pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Range | Programmable up to 36V - selectable across 21 fixed levels using VSET1/VSET2 pins, or externally via resistor divider to FB pin. |
| Switching Frequency | 300kHz to 3MHz - set by RT resistor or synchronized to external clock; enables compact magnetics and noise-sensitive system placement. |
| Quiescent Current | 350nA in shutdown; 9μA in Burst Mode - extends battery life in always-on automotive modules and IoT edge nodes. |
| Power Switch Rating | Integrated 40V, 9A NMOS - eliminates external high-side switch, reduces BOM count, and supports 24V output at >3A continuous load. |
| EMI Performance | Ultralow emissions via Silent Switcher + optional SSFM - meets CISPR 25 Class 5 without metal shielding or ferrite beads in typical layouts. |
| PassThru™ Mode | 100% duty cycle when VIN ≥ VOUT - bypasses switching losses, reduces heat generation, and maintains regulation during high-input transients. |
Pinout & Package
LT8342RV#PBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 24-lead (4mm × 4mm) LQFN package with exposed pad for optimal PCB heat dissipation. The package supports JEDEC-standard reflow and achieves θJA = 38°C/W on standard 2-layer boards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GATE | External FET gate driver | 9µA internal pull-up to VIN+6.5V; controls input-disconnect N-FET; requires external clamp diode to source. |
| SW | Internal power switch node | Drain/source connection point of integrated 9A NMOS pair; high di/dt node requiring minimized trace area for EMI control. |
| VOUT | Regulated output supply | Requires ≥4.7µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor; dual 0.1µF local caps recommended for Silent Switcher RF filtering. |
| VSET2/FB | Feedback reference input | Regulated to 1.00V (±1%); sets output voltage with internal divider or external resistor network. |
| EN/UVLO | Enable and undervoltage lockout | 1.02V accurate threshold; hysteresis 62mV; enables VIN-based brown-in/out protection via resistor divider. |
| PG | Open-drain power good flag | Pulls low when VOUT deviates >±7% from target; PREBOOST pin configures window for PreBoost applications. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Silent Switcher architecture | Reduces peak radiated EMI by >30dB vs conventional boost ICs, eliminating need for shielded inductors or metal cans. |
| Input disconnect with GATE driver | Enables reverse-current blocking and controlled startup/shutdown; supports hot-swap and load-dump protection in automotive systems. |
| PassThru™ mode | 100% duty cycle operation when VIN ≥ VOUT minimizes conduction loss and thermal stress during high-input conditions. |
| 21-step internal VOUT programming | Eliminates external feedback resistors for common output voltages (4V–36V), reducing component count and layout complexity. |
| Spread spectrum modulation (SSFM) | ±13–20% frequency deviation spreads energy across spectrum, easing compliance with stringent automotive EMC standards. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3780EFE#PBF | Requires external MOSFETs; no integrated 9A switches; wider 4–36V input range; no PassThru mode. | Better suited for >30A designs with discrete FET optimization; lacks input disconnect and ultralow-IQ modes. | Select when higher output current or custom FET selection is required; not drop-in for LT8342RV#PBF's integrated-switch footprint. |
| TPS61088RHLR | Lower 12V max output; 10A switch rating; no Silent Switcher; no input disconnect; 2.7V–12V input only. | Cost-optimized for consumer portable electronics; insufficient for automotive 40V transients or 36V outputs. | Choose for space-constrained USB-powered devices needing <12V output; cannot replace LT8342RV#PBF in automotive or industrial 24–36V applications. |
Compared with LTC3780EFE#PBF and TPS61088RHLR, the LT8342RV#PBF uniquely combines integrated 40V/9A switches, PassThru™ operation, Silent Switcher EMI suppression, and 21-step internal VOUT programming-enabling smaller, cooler, and more robust boost solutions in automotive and industrial environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage supported by the LT8342RV#PBF?
The LT8342RV#PBF supports an output voltage programmable up to 36V. This is achieved either through its internal 21-level VOUT selection (using VSET1 and VSET2 pins) or via external resistor divider feedback to the VSET2/FB pin. The device regulates the FB pin to 1.00V ±1%, and output accuracy remains within ±2% over temperature and line/load conditions per the datasheet specifications.
Does the LT8342RV#PBF support input voltage disconnect functionality?
Yes, the LT8342RV#PBF includes dedicated GATE driver circuitry to control an external N-channel FET for input disconnect. The GATE pin provides a 9µA pull-up to VIN+6.5V and supports clamping diodes for safe FET gate drive. When enabled, this feature blocks reverse current flow and allows controlled VIN turn-on/turn-off, making the LT8342RV#PBF suitable for automotive load-dump and hot-swap applications.
How does PassThru™ mode operate in the LT8342RV#PBF?
In PassThru™ mode, the LT8342RV#PBF achieves 100% duty cycle operation when VIN ≥ VOUT, effectively bypassing the switching regulator stage. This reduces conduction loss and die temperature during high-input conditions. The device maintains regulation and PG monitoring while drawing only 12μA quiescent current-significantly lower than active switching modes-making it ideal for automotive stop-start recovery scenarios.
What package type and thermal characteristics does the LT8342RV#PBF use?
The LT8342RV#PBF is packaged in a 24-lead 4mm × 4mm LQFN with exposed thermal pad. On a standard JEDEC 2-layer board, it achieves θJA = 38°C/W and θJC(BOT) = 7°C/W. The exposed pad must be soldered to a continuous copper ground plane for optimal thermal performance and current handling, as specified in the "Recommended PCB Layout Guidelines" section of the datasheet.
Can the LT8342RV#PBF be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, the LT8342RV#PBF supports external clock synchronization via the SYNC/MODE pin. When configured for Sync mode (SYNC/MODE ≤ 0.1V), the internal oscillator locks to an external clock signal with fSYNC/fOSC ratio between 0.9 and 1.25. The external clock frequency must be no lower than 90% of the RT-resistor-programmed switching frequency to ensure stable operation.
