Product details
Overview
LT8357EMSE#PBF from Analog Devices is a wide-input, current-mode DC/DC controller supporting boost, SEPIC, and flyback topologies. It features 3V–60V input range, 8µA quiescent current in Burst Mode®, 2MHz switching capability, ±1.5% 1V internal reference, and split-gate N-channel MOSFET drive. It targets automotive powertrain battery monitoring and industrial battery-powered systems requiring high efficiency at light load.
For engineers reviewing the LT8357EMSE#PBF datasheet, LT8357EMSE#PBF pinout, LT8357EMSE#PBF application, or LT8357EMSE#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its AEC-Q100 qualification, programmable soft-start, spread-spectrum EMI reduction, and dual-mode light-load operation (pulse-skipping or low-ripple Burst Mode®).
Technical Context
The LT8357EMSE#PBF implements fixed-frequency current-mode control with adjustable 100kHz–2MHz operation via RT resistor or external clock synchronization on SYNC/MODE. Its architecture includes slope compensation, frequency foldback below 75% FB voltage, and accurate 1V error amplifier reference with ±1.5% tolerance over temperature.
It integrates a 5V/60mA INTVCC LDO powered from VIN, dual-gate drivers (GATEP/GATEN) with 2.2Ω pull-up and 0.9Ω pull-down resistance, and fault protection including output short-circuit detection in SEPIC/flyback configurations, PGOOD open-drain signaling, and thermal shutdown at ~165°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3V to 60V - supports direct connection to automotive battery (cold-crank down to 3V) and industrial HV rails without pre-regulation. |
| Quiescent Current (Burst Mode) | 8µA typical - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications like battery cell voltage sensing. |
| Switching Frequency Range | 100kHz to 2MHz - selectable via RT resistor or external sync; higher frequencies reduce inductor/capacitor size for compact layouts. |
| FB Regulation Voltage | 1.000V ±1.5% - precise reference enables stable output regulation across temperature and line/load variations. |
| INTVCC Output | 4.95V at 20mA - powers internal logic and gate drivers; requires ≥2.2µF local ceramic bypass for transient gate charge delivery. |
| SENSE Threshold | 60mV typical - sets peak inductor current limit; enables accurate current sensing with low-value, low-power sense resistors. |
| Operating Junction Temp | –40°C to 125°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade E, suitable for under-hood automotive environments. |
Pinout & Package
LT8357EMSE#PBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 12-lead MSOP package with exposed pad (Pin 13) soldered to PCB ground for optimal thermal performance (θJA = 40°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VC | Error amplifier compensation node | Connects external RC network to stabilize control loop; directly affects transient response and phase margin. |
| FB | Output voltage feedback input | Regulated to 1.000V; connects to resistor divider from VOUT to GND to set output voltage precisely. |
| PGOOD | Open-drain power-good indicator | Pulled low when FB deviates >±8% from target; requires external pull-up for system sequencing or fault reporting. |
| SS | Soft-start timing capacitor node | Charged by 15µA internal current; controls output ramp rate and prevents inrush current during startup. |
| RT | Oscillator frequency setting | Resistor to GND sets switching frequency from 100kHz to 2MHz; enables layout-driven EMI optimization. |
| SYNC/MODE | Mode selection & sync input | Configures five operating modes: external sync, spread spectrum, pulse-skipping, or Burst Mode®. |
| SENSE | Current sense comparator input | Kelvin-connected to sense resistor; detects overcurrent with 60mV threshold for reliable short-circuit protection. |
| GATEP / GATEN | Split N-MOSFET gate drivers | GATEP pulls up (2.2Ω), GATEN pulls down (0.9Ω); enables independent optimization of EMI and efficiency via external gate resistors. |
| INTVCC | Internal 5V regulator output | Supplies internal circuitry and gate drivers; must be bypassed with ≥2.2µF ceramic capacitor to handle peak gate charge demands. |
| EN/UVLO | Enable and undervoltage lockout | Accurate 1.220V rising threshold enables programmable UVLO using resistor divider from VIN. |
| VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 3V–60V; powers INTVCC LDO and provides bias for control circuitry; requires 0.1µF local ceramic bypass. |
| GND (Pin 13) | Power and signal ground | Exposed thermal pad - must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal management and noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

FAQ
What is the maximum switching frequency supported by the LT8357EMSE#PBF?
The LT8357EMSE#PBF supports up to 2MHz switching frequency, set either by an external resistor on the RT pin or synchronized to an external clock signal between 100kHz and 2MHz. At 2MHz, the device maintains >95% efficiency in typical boost configurations and enables compact magnetic and capacitive component selection - critical for space-constrained automotive and portable applications.
Does the LT8357EMSE#PBF integrate a gate driver, and what type?
Yes, the LT8357EMSE#PBF integrates a split-gate driver with separate GATEP (pull-up) and GATEN (pull-down) terminals. GATEP has 2.2Ω on-resistance and GATEN has 0.9Ω, enabling independent optimization of turn-on slew rate (for EMI control) and turn-off speed (to prevent shoot-through). This architecture eliminates the need for external driver ICs in most boost/SEPIC/flyback designs.
How does the LT8357EMSE#PBF achieve low EMI in sensitive applications?
The LT8357EMSE#PBF reduces EMI through three integrated techniques: (1) triangle spread-spectrum frequency modulation (19% dither), (2) split-gate drive allowing independent gate resistor tuning, and (3) optional external clock synchronization to avoid noise-sensitive bands. These features collectively lower peak conducted emissions by >10dB compared to fixed-frequency operation - verified in standard CISPR 25 automotive EMI tests.
Is the LT8357EMSE#PBF qualified for automotive use?
Yes, the LT8357EMSE#PBF is AEC-Q100 Grade E qualified (–40°C to +125°C junction temperature), with full automotive-grade process control, reliability testing, and failure analysis documentation. It is explicitly rated for powertrain battery monitoring and other under-hood applications where thermal robustness and long-term reliability are mandatory.
What protection features does the LT8357EMSE#PBF include?
The LT8357EMSE#PBF includes output short-circuit protection in SEPIC and flyback configurations, overcurrent detection via SENSE pin (105mV threshold), PGOOD fault signaling, thermal shutdown (~165°C), and frequency foldback during low-FB conditions. It also features accurate EN/UVLO with hysteresis and internal soft-start to prevent inrush current - ensuring safe startup and fault recovery without external supervision.
