Product details
Overview
LT8361EMSE#PBF from Analog Devices is a current-mode DC/DC converter IC with a 100V, 2A integrated power switch, operating from 2.8V to 60V input. It supports boost, SEPIC, and inverting topologies via a single FBX feedback pin, delivers 9µA quiescent current in Burst Mode, and maintains <15mV output ripple-enabling compact, high-efficiency power supplies for automotive infotainment head units.
For engineers reviewing the LT8361EMSE#PBF datasheet, LT8361EMSE#PBF pinout, LT8361EMSE#PBF application, or LT8361EMSE#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 100V switch rating, programmable 300kHz–2MHz switching frequency, SYNC/MODE pin configurable operation modes (Burst, pulse-skip, SSFM), BIAS pin for efficiency optimization, and thermally enhanced 16-lead MSOP package with exposed PGND pad.
Technical Context
The LT8361EMSE#PBF employs fixed-frequency current-mode control with external RT-resistor programmability and dual error amplifiers enabling topology-agnostic regulation: +1.60V reference for positive outputs (boost/SEPIC) and –0.80V reference for negative outputs (inverting). Its unique single FBX architecture eliminates need for topology-specific feedback networks.
It integrates frequency foldback, programmable soft-start (2µA charge current), UVLO with 80mV hysteresis (1.576V rising / 1.545V falling), and thermal shutdown at >170°C. The SYNC/MODE pin selects five distinct operational states-including Burst Mode (9µA IQ), pulse-skip, external clock synchronization, and Spread Spectrum Frequency Modulation-without requiring external logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.8V to 60V - supports wide-range industrial and automotive battery inputs including 12V, 24V, and 48V systems. |
| Switch Rating | 100V, 2A - enables high-voltage boost and SEPIC designs without external MOSFETs, reducing BOM count and layout area. |
| Quiescent Current | 9µA in Burst Mode - sustains ultra-low standby power in always-on systems like telematics or ECU wake-up circuits. |
| Switching Frequency | 300kHz to 2MHz (RT-programmable) - allows optimization between EMI performance (lower fSW) and component size (higher fSW). |
| Feedback Reference | +1.60V (positive VOUT) or –0.80V (negative VOUT) - single FBX pin supports three topologies without hardware reconfiguration. |
| Package Thermal Resistance | θJA = 45°C/W, θJC = 10°C/W - exposed PGND pad enables direct thermal coupling to PCB ground plane for reliable 2A continuous operation. |
| Operating Junction Temp | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for extended-temperature industrial and AEC-Q100-compliant automotive applications. |
Pinout & Package
The LT8361EMSE#PBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 16-lead MSOP package (MSE16 variation) with four pins removed (pins 2, 4, 13, 15) to ensure high-voltage spacing. The exposed pad (Pin 17) is electrically connected to PGND/GND and must be soldered to a solid copper ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN/UVLO | Enable and undervoltage lockout input | Programmable turn-on/off thresholds (1.576V rising / 1.545V falling) enable system-level brownout protection and controlled startup sequencing. |
| VIN | Main input supply rail | Accepts 2.8V–60V; powers internal circuitry unless BIAS pin is active; requires local low-ESR bypass capacitor near exposed PGND. |
| BIAS | Secondary input for INTVCC regulator | Supplies INTVCC when 4.4V ≤ BIAS ≤ VIN, diverting up to ~1.2mA from VIN to improve full-load efficiency by ~1–2%. |
| FBX | Topology-agnostic feedback input | Accepts either +1.60V (for boost/SEPIC) or –0.80V (for inverting) reference; regulates output regardless of polarity or configuration. |
| SYNC/MODE | Multi-function control pin | Selects Burst Mode (GND), pulse-skip (open), SSFM (INTVCC), sync (external clock), or Burst+SSFM (100k to GND) - no external logic required. |
| SW1/SW2 | Internal power switch output | 100V, 2A drain-source terminals; minimized trace area reduces EMI; connects directly to inductor/diode node in all topologies. |
| PGND/GND | Power and signal ground | Exposed pad (Pin 17) is primary thermal path and low-impedance return for switch current; must be soldered to large PCB copper area. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Burst Mode Operation | 9µA IQ with <15mV output ripple - extends battery life in portable medical monitors and IoT edge sensors without compromising noise-sensitive analog rails. |
| Single-Pin Topology Flexibility | One FBX pin configures boost, SEPIC, or inverting outputs - eliminates board revisions when changing output polarity or architecture during design iteration. |
| Spread Spectrum Frequency Modulation | ±14–28% frequency deviation at fOSC/256 rate - reduces peak EMI by >10dB in CISPR 25 Class 5 automotive EMC testing without added filtering. |
| Programmable Soft-Start | 2µA constant-current ramp into SS pin - controls inrush current and prevents output overshoot during cold-start in engine control modules. |
| Thermal Enhancement | Exposed PGND pad with θJC = 10°C/W - enables 2A continuous conduction mode operation at +85°C ambient without derating in sealed enclosures. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the LT8361EMSE#PBF can handle?
The LT8361EMSE#PBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 60V on the VIN pin, with guaranteed operation across 2.8V to 60V. This allows direct connection to 48V industrial buses and automotive systems experiencing load-dump transients up to 60V. Exceeding 60V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
How does the LT8361EMSE#PBF achieve ultralow 9µA quiescent current?
The LT8361EMSE#PBF achieves 9µA IQ in Burst Mode by entering deep sleep between short current pulses-only powering essential bias circuitry while the output capacitor supplies load current. This occurs when the SYNC/MODE pin is pulled below 0.14V, and is validated across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature.
Can the LT8361EMSE#PBF generate both positive and negative output voltages?
Yes, the LT8361EMSE#PBF supports both polarities using its single FBX pin: +1.60V reference for boost/SEPIC (positive VOUT) and –0.80V reference for inverting configurations (negative VOUT). No external component changes are needed-only the resistor divider connection differs per topology.
What is the purpose of the BIAS pin on the LT8361EMSE#PBF?
The BIAS pin on the LT8361EMSE#PBF supplies the INTVCC regulator when 4.4V ≤ BIAS ≤ VIN, reducing VIN current draw by ~1.2mA and improving full-load efficiency by up to 2%. In SEPIC designs where VOUT ≈ VIN, connecting BIAS to VOUT is a common implementation.
Is the LT8361EMSE#PBF pin-compatible with other variants in the LT8361 family?
Yes, the LT8361EMSE#PBF shares identical pinout and footprint with LT8361IMSE#PBF and LT8361HMSE#PBF-all use the same 16-lead MSOP package with four pins removed and exposed PGND pad. Only temperature grade (E: –40°C to +125°C) and qualification (H: +150°C, automotive W-suffix) differ.
