Product details
Overview
LT8364EMSE#WTRPBF from Analog Devices is a 60V, 4A current-mode DC/DC converter IC supporting boost, SEPIC, and inverting topologies with single-feedback-pin configuration. It operates from 2.8V to 60V input, delivers ultralow 9µA quiescent current in Burst Mode, and supports programmable switching frequency from 300kHz to 2MHz - enabling high-efficiency power conversion in automotive infotainment head units requiring wide VIN range and low standby power.
For engineers reviewing the LT8364EMSE#WTRPBF datasheet, LT8364EMSE#WTRPBF pinout, LT8364EMSE#WTRPBF application, or LT8364EMSE#WTRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (16-lead MSOP with 4 pins removed), confirmed thermal performance (θJA = 45°C/W), validated pin functions including SYNC/MODE mode selection and BIAS-enabled efficiency optimization, and two automotive-grade alternative options with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The LT8364EMSE#WTRPBF implements fixed-frequency current-mode control with dual error amplifiers - one active for positive output (1.60V FBX reference) and the other for negative output (–0.80V reference) - enabling topology reconfiguration without hardware change. Its oscillator uses an external RT resistor to set frequency between 300kHz and 2MHz, while frequency foldback and programmable soft-start prevent inrush current during startup.
It integrates a 60V/4A internal MOSFET switch with 100mΩ RDS(ON), supports spread-spectrum modulation for EMI reduction, and features intelligent INTVCC sourcing: automatically draws bias current from either VIN or BIAS pin (4.4V ≤ BIAS ≤ VIN) to maximize efficiency across load conditions.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current achievable with LT8364EMSE#WTRPBF in boost configuration?
The LT8364EMSE#WTRPBF supports up to 1A continuous output current in boost mode at 12V input to 48V output, limited by its 4A internal switch, thermal resistance (θJA = 45°C/W), and PCB copper area. At 24V input, output current increases to ~1.5A with proper thermal management. Peak switch current remains clamped at 6.4A, ensuring safe operation during transient overloads. Derating curves in the datasheet confirm 1A is sustainable at 125°C junction temperature with standard 2oz copper.
Does LT8364EMSE#WTRPBF support synchronization to an external clock, and what are the voltage requirements?
Yes, LT8364EMSE#WTRPBF 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 valid from 300kHz to 2MHz. When synchronized, the device operates in pulse-skip mode - not Burst Mode - to maintain regulation alignment with the external clock, which is essential for noise-sensitive mixed-signal systems like automotive ADAS processors.
How does the BIAS pin improve efficiency in LT8364EMSE#WTRPBF, and what voltage range is acceptable?
The BIAS pin in LT8364EMSE#WTRPBF supplies the INTVCC regulator when 4.4V ≤ BIAS ≤ VIN, diverting up to 98% of INTVCC current away from the main VIN rail. This reduces total input current and conduction losses - especially critical in SEPIC configurations where VOUT may exceed VIN. For example, with VIN = 12V and BIAS = 5V, active-mode IQ drops from 1.2mA to 22µA. BIAS must never exceed VIN or fall below 4.4V to enable sourcing; otherwise, INTVCC defaults to VIN.
Can LT8364EMSE#WTRPBF generate negative output voltages, and how is feedback configured?
Yes, LT8364EMSE#WTRPBF generates negative outputs in inverting configuration using the same FBX pin, which references –0.80V internally. Feedback is set by connecting a resistor divider from VOUT (negative rail) to GND, with FBX tied between R1 and R2. The formula is R1 = R2 × (|VOUT| / 0.80V – 1). This eliminates external op-amps or level-shifters, enabling compact dual-rail supplies for op-amp-based sensor interfaces or RS-485 transceivers.
What is the purpose of the exposed pad on the LT8364EMSE#WTRPBF MSOP package, and how must it be connected?
The exposed pad (Pin 17) on LT8364EMSE#WTRPBF is electrically and thermally connected to PGND/GND and serves as the primary heat dissipation path. It must be soldered to a solid, low-thermal-resistance PCB copper plane - minimum 200mm² recommended - with ≥6 thermal vias to inner ground layers. Failure to solder the pad results in θJA degradation from 45°C/W to >80°C/W, risking thermal shutdown at >600mA loads and violating AEC-Q100 thermal test requirements.
