Product details
Overview
LT8342RV#TRMPBF 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 voltage, operates from 2.8V to 40V input, achieves 350nA shutdown IQ, and integrates 40V/9A power switches in a 4mm × 4mm LQFN-24 package for automotive pre-boost and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LT8342RV#TRMPBF datasheet, LT8342RV#TRMPBF pinout, LT8342RV#TRMPBF application, or LT8342RV#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100% duty cycle PassThru operation, ultralow EMI emissions, programmable 300kHz–3MHz switching frequency, 21-pin-selectable output voltages, and integrated input-disconnect gate driver with 37.5mV current-sense threshold.
Technical Context
The LT8342RV#TRMPBF implements a synchronous boost topology with dual internal NMOS power switches (25mΩ bottom, 30mΩ top), enabling high-efficiency conversion across wide VIN/VOUT ratios. Its Silent Switcher architecture uses symmetrical layout and integrated bypass capacitors to suppress common-mode EMI, while optional spread spectrum modulation further reduces peak radiated emissions.
It supports three operating modes via SYNC/MODE pin: Burst Mode (9μA IQ), Pulse-Skipping Mode (1.9mA IQ), and PassThru™ (12μA IQ when VIN ≥ VOUT). The device features programmable soft-start, power-good monitoring with ±7% window, and overvoltage lockout at 111% of target VOUT - all critical for robust automotive cold-crank and stop-start applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.8V to 40V - supports wide-range battery inputs including 12V automotive and 24V industrial rails. |
| Output Voltage Range | Programmable up to 36V - enables single-stage boosting for LED drivers, APD bias, and industrial sensors. |
| Switch Current Limit | 9A typical - defines maximum continuous load capability with thermal derating above 125°C junction. |
| Quiescent Current | 350nA in shutdown; 9μA in Burst Mode - extends battery life in always-on systems like telematics and ADAS modules. |
| Switching Frequency | 300kHz to 3MHz - allows optimization between efficiency (lower fSW) and size (higher fSW with smaller magnetics). |
| PassThru Duty Cycle | 100% - maintains VOUT regulation without switching loss when VIN ≥ VOUT, reducing heat and improving efficiency in pre-boost scenarios. |
| EMI Performance | Ultralow emissions per CISPR 25 Class 5 - eliminates need for external EMI filters in automotive infotainment and cluster designs. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage supported by the LT8342RV#TRMPBF?
The LT8342RV#TRMPBF supports an output voltage programmable up to 36V. This is achieved either through its internal 21-level pin-selectable feedback network (using VSET1 and VSET2/FB pins) or via external resistor divider. The device regulates the VSET2/FB pin to 1.00V ±1%, ensuring precise output accuracy across temperature and load conditions. Output overvoltage lockout activates at 111% of the target voltage.
Does the LT8342RV#TRMPBF support synchronization to an external clock?
Yes, the LT8342RV#TRMPBF supports external clock synchronization via the SYNC/MODE pin. When configured in Sync mode (pin tied to GND or <0.1V), the device locks its switching frequency to an external clock signal. The external clock frequency must be within 90%–125% of the internally programmed frequency set by the RT resistor. This feature enables deterministic EMI reduction and multi-phase interleaving in complex power systems.
How does the PassThru™ mode function in the LT8342RV#TRMPBF?
In PassThru™ mode, the LT8342RV#TRMPBF operates with 100% duty cycle when VIN ≥ VOUT, effectively connecting input to output through the synchronous MOSFETs without switching. This eliminates switching losses and reduces quiescent current to 12μA, significantly improving efficiency during high-input conditions such as automotive engine running. The mode is automatic and requires no external control signals.
What is the purpose of the GATE pin on the LT8342RV#TRMPBF?
The GATE pin (Pin 1) on the LT8342RV#TRMPBF drives the gate of an external N-channel FET used for input disconnect. It provides a 9µA internal current source to charge the gate to VIN + 6.5V, enabling controlled turn-on of the FET. An external clamp diode between gate and source is mandatory. If input disconnect is not needed, the GATE pin must be tied to ground - floating it is prohibited.
Can the LT8342RV#TRMPBF operate with input voltages below 3V?
Yes, the LT8342RV#TRMPBF operates down to 2.8V input voltage across its full temperature range (−40°C to +150°C). At 2.8V VIN, the device maintains regulation and delivers full 9A current capability when VOUT is appropriately scaled (e.g., 5V or 8V). Startup is guaranteed when INTVCC exceeds 2.75V, which occurs reliably even at minimum VIN due to the internal charge pump and bootstrap circuitry.
