Product details
Overview
LT8361HMSE#PBF from Analog Devices is a current-mode DC/DC converter with integrated 100V, 2A power switch, operating from 2.8V to 60V input. It supports boost, SEPIC, and inverting topologies via single FBX pin, delivers ≤9µA quiescent current in Burst Mode, and maintains <15mV output ripple. It is used in automotive infotainment power supplies requiring high-voltage input tolerance and low-noise operation.
For engineers reviewing the LT8361HMSE#PBF datasheet, LT8361HMSE#PBF pinout, LT8361HMSE#PBF application, or LT8361HMSE#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its –40°C to 150°C junction temperature rating, programmable 300kHz–2MHz switching frequency, BIAS pin for efficiency optimization, SYNC/MODE pin for EMI-reducing spread-spectrum modulation, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive use.
Technical Context
The LT8361HMSE#PBF implements fixed-frequency current-mode control with external RT resistor programming and dual-path error amplification (1.60V for positive outputs, –0.80V for negative outputs). Its architecture enables seamless topology reconfiguration without hardware changes.
It integrates frequency foldback, programmable soft-start (2µA charge current), and five selectable operating modes via SYNC/MODE pin - including Burst Mode (≤9µA IQ), pulse-skip, external synchronization, and spread-spectrum modulation - all while maintaining stable regulation across 2.8V–60V input and up to 100V output swing.
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-step-up ratios (e.g., 12V→48V) and robust operation under load dump transients. |
| Quiescent Current | 9µA in Burst Mode - sustains ultra-low power consumption during standby in always-on vehicle modules. |
| Switching Frequency | 300kHz to 2MHz - adjustable via RT resistor; allows EMI optimization and compact magnetics selection. |
| Feedback Reference | +1.60V (boost/SEPIC) or –0.80V (inverting) - single FBX pin supports polarity-agnostic output programming. |
| Junction Temp Range | –40°C to +150°C - H-grade rating qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1, suitable for under-hood automotive applications. |
| Package Thermal Resistance | θJA = 45°C/W, θJC = 10°C/W - thermally enhanced MSOP-16 with exposed PGND pad for efficient heat dissipation. |
Pinout & Package
LT8361HMSE#PBF is housed in a 16-lead plastic MSOP package with four pins removed (MSE16 variant) to ensure high-voltage spacing between SW and adjacent terminals. The exposed pad (Pin 17) is connected internally to PGND/GND and must be soldered to a continuous PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN/UVLO | Enable and undervoltage lockout input | Programmable turn-on/off thresholds (1.576V rising, 1.545V falling) with 80mV hysteresis; draws <1µA when pulled below 0.2V. |
| VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 2.8V–60V; powers internal circuitry unless BIAS is active; requires local ceramic bypass near pin. |
| SW1/SW2 | Power switch output | Drives external inductor/diode network; rated 100V/2A; minimize trace area to reduce EMI. |
| FBX | Feedback regulation input | Single pin accepts voltage divider from output; selects +1.60V or –0.80V reference based on topology polarity. |
| BIAS | Secondary supply for INTVCC | Accepts 4.4V–VIN to offload INTVCC current from VIN, improving full-load efficiency in SEPIC/boost configurations. |
| SYNC/MODE | Mode selection and clock sync input | Five states: GND = Burst Mode; float = pulse-skip; 100k-to-GND = Burst+SSFM; INTVCC = pulse-skip+SSFM; external clock = sync+pulse-skip. |
| RT | Frequency programming | Resistor to GND sets fSW from 300kHz (165kΩ) to 2MHz (20kΩ); formula: RT(kΩ) = 51.2/fOSC(MHz) – 5.6. |
| SS | Soft-start timing | Capacitor to GND controls inrush current ramp rate; 2µA constant-current charge; internal 220Ω pull-down during fault. |
| VC | Error amplifier output | Connects to external compensation network (R-C series to GND); sets loop bandwidth and stability margin. |
| PGND/GND | Power and signal ground | Exposed pad (Pin 17) is primary thermal path and low-impedance return for SW and input/output capacitors. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Topology Flexibility | Single FBX pin enables boost, SEPIC, or inverting operation without changing IC - reduces BOM count and layout variants. |

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature specification for LT8361HMSE#PBF?
The LT8361HMSE#PBF is rated for a maximum junction temperature of +150°C and is guaranteed over the full –40°C to +150°C operating range per AEC-Q100 Grade 1. This specification is validated through production testing and thermal characterization - not derated or extrapolated. The LT8361HMSE#PBF achieves this rating using its thermally enhanced MSOP package with exposed PGND pad, which provides θJC = 10°C/W for direct die-to-PCB heat transfer.
How does the LT8361HMSE#PBF support both positive and negative output voltages?
The LT8361HMSE#PBF uses a dual-reference error amplifier architecture: it regulates to +1.60V at the FBX pin for boost and SEPIC topologies (positive outputs), and to –0.80V for inverting configurations (negative outputs). The IC automatically selects the appropriate reference based on FBX voltage polarity and topology wiring - no external mode-select signals or configuration registers are required. This capability is intrinsic to the LT8361HMSE#PBF's internal block diagram and is verified across all operating conditions.
Can the LT8361HMSE#PBF be synchronized to an external clock, and what are the voltage requirements?
Yes, the LT8361HMSE#PBF supports external clock synchronization via the SYNC/MODE pin. The input square wave must have valleys below 0.4V and peaks above 1.7V (up to 6V), with 20–80% duty cycle. Synchronization is supported from 300kHz to 2MHz. When synchronized, the LT8361HMSE#PBF operates in pulse-skip mode - not Burst Mode - to maintain regulation alignment with the external clock. This behavior is specified in the Pin Functions section of the official datasheet.
What is the purpose of the BIAS pin on the LT8361HMSE#PBF, and how does it improve efficiency?
The BIAS pin on the LT8361HMSE#PBF supplies the internal INTVCC regulator when 4.4V ≤ BIAS ≤ VIN, diverting up to ~1.2mA of bias current away from the main VIN rail. In SEPIC applications where VOUT < VIN (e.g., 24V input → 15V output), connecting BIAS to VOUT reduces total input current and improves full-load efficiency by 2–3 percentage points. This function is implemented via internal comparator circuitry and is independent of external components - no additional logic or control is needed to enable it.
Does the LT8361HMSE#PBF include built-in protection features, and which ones are active?
Yes, the LT8361HMSE#PBF includes multiple hardware-based protections: undervoltage lockout on EN/UVLO (<1.6V), INTVCC UVLO (~2.5V), overtemperature shutdown (>170°C junction), switch overcurrent limit (3.75A threshold), and soft-start fault reset (SS pin discharge on fault). All protections are implemented in analog circuitry with no software dependency. When triggered, they immediately disable switching and pull down the SS pin to prevent output overshoot - behavior confirmed in the Applications Information section and typical performance curves.
