Product details
Overview
LT8364EDE#PBF from Analog Devices is a current-mode DC/DC converter IC with a 60V, 4A internal power switch, supporting boost, SEPIC, and inverting topologies from 2.8V to 60V input. It delivers up to 48V output at 1A (VIN=24V), achieves 9µA quiescent current in Burst Mode, maintains <15mV output ripple, and operates across –40°C to 125°C junction temperature - used in automotive infotainment power rails and portable medical imaging subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the LT8364EDE#PBF datasheet, LT8364EDE#PBF pinout, LT8364EDE#PBF application, or LT8364EDE#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its single FBX-pin topology flexibility, programmable 300kHz–2MHz switching frequency, BIAS-pin efficiency optimization, SYNC/MODE multi-mode control, and thermally enhanced 12-lead 4mm × 3mm DFN package with exposed PGND/GND pad.
Technical Context
The LT8364EDE#PBF implements fixed-frequency current-mode control with dual error amplifiers (A1 for boost/SEPIC, A2 for inverting) selected automatically based on FBX voltage polarity (1.60V for positive, –0.80V for negative regulation). Its oscillator frequency is resistor-programmed via RT pin and supports synchronization, spread-spectrum modulation, and five distinct operating modes via SYNC/MODE pin logic thresholds.
Protection includes overcurrent detection (7.5A trip), thermal shutdown (>170°C), INTVCC UVLO (2.5V/2.65V), and EN/UVLO with 80mV hysteresis (1.545V falling / 1.68V rising). The BIAS pin supplies INTVCC when 4.4V ≤ BIAS ≤ VIN, reducing VIN current draw and improving full-load efficiency in SEPIC or high-VIN boost configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.8V to 60V - supports wide-range industrial battery inputs and automotive cold-crank (6V) to load-dump (60V) transients. |
| Switch Rating | 60V VDS, 4A continuous - enables 48V boost outputs from 12V/24V sources without external MOSFETs. |
| Quiescent Current | 9µA in Burst Mode - sustains >90% efficiency at 1mA load, critical for always-on automotive modules. |
| Switching Frequency | 300kHz to 2MHz (RT-programmable) - allows EMI-sensitive designs to avoid AM band or align with system clocks. |
| FBX Regulation Voltage | +1.60V (boost/SEPIC) or –0.80V (inverting) - single feedback pin eliminates topology-specific IC variants. |
| Package Thermal Resistance | θJA = 43°C/W, θJC = 5.5°C/W - exposed pad soldered to PCB ground plane enables 3W+ continuous dissipation in compact layout. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C (junction) - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments. |
Pinout & Package
LT8364EDE#PBF uses a thermally enhanced 12-lead (4mm × 3mm) plastic DFN package with exposed PGND/GND pad (Pin 13) requiring soldering to PCB copper for thermal and electrical integrity. Pin count and layout match the MSE16 variant with four pins removed (NC, two SW, GND).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW1, SW2 | Internal Power Switch Drain Outputs | Parallel-connected 60V/4A MOSFET drains - minimize trace area to reduce EMI; connect directly to inductor and diode anode/cathode. |
| FBX | Topology-Agnostic Feedback Input | Detects +1.60V (positive VOUT) or –0.80V (negative VOUT) - selects internal error amplifier and sets regulation point without external configuration. |
| SYNC/MODE | Multi-Function Control Input | Five states: GND = Burst Mode; float = pulse-skip; >1.7V = pulse-skip + SSFM; 100k-to-GND = Burst + SSFM; external clock = sync + pulse-skip. |
| BIAS | Secondary INTVCC Supply Input | Accepts 4.4V–VIN to power 3.2V INTVCC regulator - reduces VIN current by >95%, boosting efficiency in high-VIN/low-VOUT SEPIC. |
| EN/UVLO | Enable & Programmable Undervoltage Lockout | 1.60V turn-off / 1.68V turn-on threshold with 80mV hysteresis - enables precise system-level brownout protection using resistive divider. |
| PGND, GND | Power & Signal Ground Reference | Exposed pad (Pin 13) is common PGND/GND - must be soldered to solid copper plane for thermal relief and low-noise reference return path. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DC/DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT8362EDE#PBF | 2A switch (vs. 4A), identical topology support and pinout - lacks BIAS pin and SSFM capability. | Suitable for ≤500mA output loads; cannot match LT8364EDE#PBF's efficiency in high-current SEPIC or 48V boost. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs current headroom and advanced EMI features. |
| MAX25203ATPA/VY+ | Automotive-grade 60V/3.5A buck-boost with integrated FETs - supports only buck-boost (not SEPIC/inverting); no BIAS pin. | Requires different compensation and layout; lacks single-FBX topology flexibility and Burst Mode IQ. | Choose for AEC-Q100-compliant buck-boost-only systems where footprint compatibility is secondary. |
Compared with LT8362EDE#PBF and MAX25203ATPA/VY+, the LT8364EDE#PBF uniquely combines 4A switch current, topology-agnostic FBX architecture, BIAS-pin efficiency enhancement, and spread-spectrum EMI reduction - making it optimal for space-constrained, multi-rail industrial and portable medical designs demanding both ultra-low IQ and high output power.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage achievable with LT8364EDE#PBF in boost configuration?
The LT8364EDE#PBF supports output voltages up to 60V in boost mode, limited by its 60V-rated internal switch and external component selection. Typical validated designs achieve 48V at 1A (VIN=24V), with proper Schottky diode (e.g., 100V rating) and output capacitor voltage derating. Exceeding 60V risks switch breakdown and is not supported.
Does LT8364EDE#PBF require external compensation components?
Yes, the LT8364EDE#PBF requires external compensation via the VC pin. A Type II or Type III network (resistor + capacitor + optional zero capacitor) must be connected between VC and GND to stabilize the current-mode control loop across the full VIN/VOUT range and load conditions specified in the datasheet.
Can LT8364EDE#PBF operate in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM)?
Yes, the LT8364EDE#PBF inherently supports DCM operation. Its minimum on-time (85ns typ.) and off-time (50ns typ.) allow stable DCM down to very light loads, especially in Burst Mode. DCM is automatically entered when inductor current falls to zero before the next switching cycle - no configuration required.
How does the BIAS pin improve efficiency in LT8364EDE#PBF?
The BIAS pin supplies the 3.2V INTVCC regulator when 4.4V ≤ BIAS ≤ VIN, diverting >95% of INTVCC current away from VIN. In SEPIC applications where VOUT ≈ VIN, connecting BIAS to VOUT reduces total input current and associated conduction losses - measured efficiency gains exceed 8% at full load.
Is LT8364EDE#PBF pin-compatible with other LT836x variants?
The LT8364EDE#PBF shares identical pinout and footprint with LT8362EDE#PBF and LT8361EDE#PBF in the 12-lead DFN package. However, differences in switch current (4A vs. 2A/1.5A), BIAS pin functionality, and SSFM support mean direct substitution requires validation of thermal, current, and feature requirements in the target application.
