Product details
Overview
LT8364HDE#PBF from Analog Devices is a current-mode DC/DC converter IC with a 60V, 4A internal power switch, operating from 2.8V to 60V input. It supports boost, SEPIC, and inverting topologies via a single FBX feedback pin, delivers up to 48V output in typical boost configurations, and achieves 9µA quiescent current in Burst Mode - enabling long battery life in automotive and portable medical diagnostics systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT8364HDE#PBF datasheet, LT8364HDE#PBF pinout, LT8364HDE#PBF application, or LT8364HDE#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, spread-spectrum EMI reduction, and dual-mode (Burst/Pulse-Skip) operation controlled by SYNC/MODE pin logic levels.
Technical Context
The LT8364HDE#PBF implements fixed-frequency current-mode control with external RT-resistor programmability and dual error amplifiers - one active for positive outputs (1.60V reference), the other for negative outputs (–0.80V reference). Its unique single-FBX architecture enables topology reconfiguration without hardware changes.
It integrates frequency foldback, programmable soft-start (2µA charge current), overcurrent protection (7.5A trip), thermal shutdown (>170°C), and intelligent INTVCC sourcing - selecting between VIN and BIAS (4.4V ≤ BIAS ≤ VIN) to minimize input supply loading and maximize efficiency across load ranges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.8V to 60V - supports wide-range industrial, automotive, and telecom inputs including 12V/24V/48V bus systems. |
| Switch Rating | 60V VDS, 4A continuous - handles high-voltage boost and SEPIC applications with margin for transients. |
| Quiescent Current | 9µA in Burst Mode - sustains ultra-low-power standby in battery-powered diagnostic equipment. |
| Switching Frequency | 300kHz to 2MHz (RT-programmable) - enables compact magnetics and EMI filtering while avoiding AM band interference. |
| Operating Junction Temp | –40°C to 150°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and high-ambient industrial environments. |
| Feedback Reference | +1.60V or –0.80V (FBX-selectable) - eliminates need for separate positive/negative feedback networks in dual-rail designs. |
| BIAS Pin Function | Supplies INTVCC when 4.4V ≤ BIAS ≤ VIN - reduces VIN current draw and improves full-load efficiency by >3% in SEPIC configurations. |
Pinout & Package
LT8364HDE#PBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 12-lead (4mm × 3mm) plastic DFN package with exposed PGND/GND pad (Pin 13) requiring soldering to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN/UVLO | Enable / Undervoltage Lockout Input | Shuts down IC below 1.6V; resumes at 1.68V with 80mV hysteresis - enables precise system-level brownout protection. |
| VIN | Main Input Supply | Accepts 2.8V–60V; powers internal circuitry unless BIAS supplies INTVCC - requires local low-ESR capacitor placement adjacent to exposed pad. |
| SW1/SW2 | Internal Power Switch Output | Drives external inductor/diode network; 60V/4A rating - minimized trace area critical for EMI control. |
| FBX | Topology-Agnostic Feedback Input | Sets output voltage to +1.60V or –0.80V reference - enables boost, SEPIC, or inverting operation with same pin and resistor divider. |
| SYNC/MODE | Mode Selection & Clock Input | Configures Burst Mode (<0.14V), Pulse-Skip (float), Sync (external clock), or SSFM (≥1.7V) - no external components needed for mode switching. |
| BIAS | Secondary INTVCC Supply Input | Reduces VIN loading when 4.4V ≤ BIAS ≤ VIN - improves efficiency in high-input-voltage SEPIC or buck-boost applications. |
| SS | Soft-Start Control | 2µA constant-current ramp - controls inrush current during startup; discharged internally during fault or shutdown. |
| PGND/GND | Power & Signal Ground | Exposed pad (Pin 13) must be soldered to solid copper plane - primary thermal path and low-impedance return for switch current. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single-FBX Topology Flexibility | Enables boost, SEPIC, and inverting configurations using identical layout and feedback network - reduces BOM and design iteration time. |
| Burst Mode with 9µA IQ | Maintains regulation at microamp loads while holding output ripple <15mV - extends runtime in always-on portable electronics. |
| Spread Spectrum Frequency Modulation | ±14–28% frequency deviation at fOSC/256 rate - lowers peak EMI by >10dB without added filtering components. |
| Programmable UVLO Threshold | Resistive divider on EN/UVLO sets precise turn-on/off voltages (e.g., 8V–10V window) - prevents erratic operation during cold-cranking or brownouts. |
| Thermally Enhanced DFN | θJA = 43°C/W, θJC = 5.5°C/W - supports 4A continuous switching in compact 4mm × 3mm footprint without heatsink. |

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the LT8364HDE#PBF?
The LT8364HDE#PBF is rated for operation from –40°C to 150°C junction temperature and is guaranteed across this full range per AEC-Q100 Grade H specifications. This makes it suitable for under-hood automotive applications and high-ambient industrial environments where thermal derating of standard-grade parts would otherwise be required. The LT8364HDE#PBF's thermal resistance (θJA = 43°C/W) supports sustained 4A switching within this envelope when properly mounted to a thermal pad.
How does the FBX pin enable both positive and negative output configurations in the LT8364HDE#PBF?
The LT8364HDE#PBF uses an internal dual-amplifier architecture where FBX connects to either a +1.60V reference (for boost/SEPIC) or a –0.80V reference (for inverting topologies), selected automatically based on the voltage polarity applied to the feedback divider. When the divider pulls FBX above 0V, amplifier A1 activates for positive regulation; when pulled below 0V, amplifier A2 activates for negative regulation - eliminating external mode-selection logic. This behavior is confirmed in the LT8364HDE#PBF block diagram and electrical characteristics table.
Can the LT8364HDE#PBF synchronize to an external clock while operating in Burst Mode?
No - when the SYNC/MODE pin is driven by an external clock signal, the LT8364HDE#PBF disables Burst Mode and operates in pulse-skip mode instead, maintaining regulation by skipping cycles aligned to the external clock. Burst Mode is only active when SYNC/MODE is pulled below 0.14V (e.g., grounded). This behavior is explicitly defined in the Pin Functions section and Applications Information of the LT8364HDE#PBF datasheet.
What is the purpose of the BIAS pin on the LT8364HDE#PBF, and how does it improve efficiency?
The BIAS pin on the LT8364HDE#PBF supplies the internal 3.2V INTVCC regulator when 4.4V ≤ BIAS ≤ VIN, diverting that current away from the main VIN supply. In SEPIC or inverting configurations where VOUT > VIN, connecting BIAS to VOUT reduces VIN current draw by up to 1.2mA at full load - improving overall efficiency by 3–5% and lowering thermal stress on the input stage. This function is validated in the Electrical Characteristics table and INTVCC Regulator section of the LT8364HDE#PBF datasheet.
Does the LT8364HDE#PBF support spread-spectrum frequency modulation (SSFM), and how is it enabled?
Yes - the LT8364HDE#PBF supports SSFM with ±14–28% frequency deviation at fOSC/256 modulation rate. It is enabled by pulling the SYNC/MODE pin to INTVCC (or >1.7V) for Pulse-Skip + SSFM operation, or by connecting a 100kΩ resistor from SYNC/MODE to GND for Burst + SSFM transition at heavy loads. SSFM reduces peak EMI emissions without compromising regulation or efficiency, as verified in the Typical Performance Characteristics plots (Figure G16).
