Product details
Overview
LT8390AEFE#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a synchronous 4-switch buck-boost DC/DC controller supporting 4V–60V input and 0V–60V output, operating at up to 2MHz with spread spectrum EMI reduction. It delivers ±1.5% VOUT accuracy (1V–60V), ±3% current sense accuracy, and 95% efficiency at 48W (12V/4A) in automotive voltage regulator and battery charger applications.
For engineers reviewing the LT8390AEFE#TRPBF datasheet, LT8390AEFE#TRPBF pinout, LT8390AEFE#TRPBF application, or LT8390AEFE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include VIN/VOUT crossover operation, peak-buck/peak-boost current mode control, AEC-Q100 qualification, 28-lead TSSOP package with exposed pad, and programmable fault response (hiccup/latch-off/keep-running).
Technical Context
The LT8390AEFE#TRPBF implements Analog Devices' proprietary dual-mode current sensing architecture: peak-buck control dominates when VIN/VOUT ≤ 0.87, peak-boost when VIN/VOUT ≥ 1.23, with seamless buck-boost transition between 0.85–1.25. Its internal 5V LDO (INTVCC) powers gate drivers and logic, while independent ISP/ISN and LSP/LSN current sense inputs enable precise input/output current regulation and reverse-current detection.
Operation spans three regions-buck (VIN ≫ VOUT), buck-boost (VIN ≈ VOUT), and boost (VIN ≪ VOUT)-with region transitions controlled by measured VIN/VOUT ratio and validated hysteresis thresholds (e.g., buck-to-buck-boost at 1.23–1.27). The controller supports external synchronization (600kHz–2.1MHz) or internal spread-spectrum modulation (±25% triangle) to suppress EMI peaks without sacrificing regulation stability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 60V - supports wide automotive battery transients (cold crank to load dump) and industrial 24V/48V rails. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0V to 60V - enables bidirectional regulation for supercapacitor charging and battery backup systems. |
| Switching Frequency | 600kHz to 2MHz adjustable via RT resistor - allows high-frequency layout compactness or low-frequency efficiency optimization. |
| VOUT Accuracy | ±1.5% over 1V–60V - ensures stable reference for sensitive analog loads and precision power sequencing. |
| Current Sense Accuracy | ±3% for ISP/ISN and LSP/LSN paths - critical for accurate battery charge/discharge current monitoring and protection. |
| Operating Temp Range | –40°C to +125°C junction - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial ambient environments. |
| Package | 28-lead TSSOP with exposed pad - provides thermal performance (θJC = 5°C/W) and PCB assembly compatibility. |
Pinout & Package
LT8390AEFE#TRPBF is housed in a 28-lead plastic TSSOP package (FE) with exposed pad (Pin 29), which must be soldered to PCB ground for thermal and electrical integrity. θJA = 30°C/W, θJC = 5°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FB | Voltage feedback input | Regulates output to 1.00V reference; triggers PGOOD and fault protection (OV/UV) based on ±10% threshold window. |
| ISP / ISN | High-side current sense differential inputs | Monitor input current or output current (depending on configuration); support Kelvin sensing for ±3% accuracy. |
| LSP / LSN | Buck-side inductor current sense differential inputs | Enable peak-buck current mode control and reverse-current detection in buck/buck-boost modes. |
| TG1 / BG1 / BST1 / SW1 | Buck-side gate drive and switch node | Drive external N-channel MOSFETs in buck topology; BST1 supplies floating gate drive for TG1. |
| TG2 / BG2 / BST2 / SW2 | Boost-side gate drive and switch node | Drive external N-channel MOSFETs in boost topology; BST2 supplies floating gate drive for TG2. |
| LOADEN / LOADTG | High-side PMOS load switch control | Enables/disables external PMOS FET; LOADTG provides inverted, buffered gate drive referenced to VOUT. |
| SYNC/SPRD | Frequency control select | Ground = fixed frequency; INTVCC = ±25% triangle spread spectrum; external clock = synchronization. |
| PGOOD | Open-drain power-good flag | Asserts low when FB is within ±10% of target - used for system power sequencing and fault indication. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 4-switch single-inductor architecture | Eliminates need for separate buck and boost converters; reduces BOM count and board space in VIN/VOUT crossover applications. |

FAQ
What is the maximum switching frequency supported by the LT8390AEFE#TRPBF?
The LT8390AEFE#TRPBF supports an adjustable switching frequency from 600kHz to 2MHz using an external RT resistor. At RT = 59.0kΩ, it operates at up to 2MHz (typical 2000kHz), enabling compact magnetics and reduced output ripple in space-constrained designs. Frequency synchronization to external clocks up to 2.1MHz is also supported via the SYNC/SPRD pin.
Does the LT8390AEFE#TRPBF support both input and output current regulation?
Yes, the LT8390AEFE#TRPBF supports precise input current regulation via the ISP/ISN pins and inductor current regulation via the LSP/LSN pins. Both paths deliver ±3% accuracy over temperature and line, enabling robust CC/CV battery charging, input current limiting for solar harvesters, and reverse-current protection in backup systems.
How does the LT8390AEFE#TRPBF handle transitions between buck, buck-boost, and boost modes?
The LT8390AEFE#TRPBF uses a proprietary peak-buck/peak-boost current mode architecture with hysteresis-controlled region transitions. Buck-to-buck-boost occurs at VIN/VOUT = 1.23–1.27, buck-boost-to-boost at 0.83–0.87, and peak-buck-to-peak-boost at 0.96–1.04 - ensuring glitch-free, low-noise transitions without output disturbance or control loop instability.
Is the LT8390AEFE#TRPBF AEC-Q100 qualified, and what grade does it meet?
Yes, the LT8390AEFE#TRPBF is AEC-Q100 qualified as Grade E (–40°C to +125°C junction temperature). It undergoes full automotive stress testing including HTOL, temperature cycling, and ESD per AEC-Q100 Rev H, making it suitable for engine control units, ADAS power supplies, and other under-hood automotive applications.
Can the LT8390AEFE#TRPBF drive external PMOS load switches, and how is this configured?
Yes, the LT8390AEFE#TRPBF integrates a dedicated high-side PMOS load switch driver via LOADEN and LOADTG pins. Applying a logic-high signal to LOADEN turns on LOADTG, which drives the gate of an external PMOS FET with a swing from (VOUT – 5V) to VOUT. This enables controlled power sequencing, hot-swap capability, and output isolation during shutdown.
