Product details
Overview
LT8390AIFE#PBF 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% output voltage accuracy and ±3% current sensing accuracy, enabling seamless transitions between buck, buck-boost, and boost modes. It is used in automotive battery management systems requiring wide VIN/VOUT ratio handling and low-noise regulation.
For engineers reviewing the LT8390AIFE#PBF datasheet, LT8390AIFE#PBF pinout, LT8390AIFE#PBF application, or LT8390AIFE#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its peak-buck/peak-boost current mode control, AEC-Q100 qualification, 28-lead TSSOP package with exposed pad, and support for input/output current monitoring with PGOOD flag.
Technical Context
The LT8390AIFE#PBF implements Analog Devices' proprietary peak-buck/peak-boost current mode architecture, using a single inductor current sense resistor (LSP/LSN) to maintain regulation across all three operating regions. Its dual-mode comparator structure enables smooth, low-noise transitions at VIN/VOUT ratios of 0.75 (buck→buck-boost), 0.85 (boost→buck-boost), 1.25 (buck→buck-boost), and 1.33 (buck-boost→boost), with hysteresis preventing mode chatter.
It integrates two independent gate drivers (TG1/BG1 for buck side; TG2/BG2 for boost side), an internal 5V INTVCC LDO, 2V VREF reference, and programmable fault response (hiccup/latch-off/keep-running) via SS pin resistor configuration. The CTRL pin linearly scales ISP/ISN current threshold from 5mV to 100mV over 0.3V–1.35V input.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
LT8390AIFE#PBF is housed in a 28-lead plastic TSSOP package 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 |
|---|---|---|

| LOADEN / LOADTG | High-side PMOS load switch control | Enables/disables external PMOS; LOADTG provides inverted, buffered gate drive referenced to VOUT |
| SYNC/SPRD | Frequency control input | GND = fixed oscillator; INTVCC = 25% spread spectrum; external clock = synchronization |
| RT | Oscillator frequency set | Resistor to GND sets switching frequency from 600kHz to 2MHz (e.g., 100kΩ ≈ 1.3MHz) |
| PGOOD | Open-drain status flag | Pulled low when FB is within ±10% of target - indicates valid regulation and safe system startup |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the LT8390AIFE#PBF?
The LT8390AIFE#PBF supports an absolute maximum input voltage of 60V on the VIN pin, with continuous operation specified from 4V to 60V. This enables direct connection to 48V industrial buses and 12V/24V automotive systems, including load dump conditions up to 60V transient. Exceeding 60V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Does the LT8390AIFE#PBF support both buck and boost operation in a single circuit?
Yes, the LT8390AIFE#PBF implements a true 4-switch single-inductor buck-boost topology that operates seamlessly across buck (VIN > VOUT), buck-boost (VIN ≈ VOUT), and boost (VIN < VOUT) regions. Its proprietary peak-buck/peak-boost current mode control automatically transitions between modes without output disturbance, validated down to 0V output capability.
How is spread spectrum enabled on the LT8390AIFE#PBF?
Spread spectrum is enabled on the LT8390AIFE#PBF by connecting the SYNC/SPRD pin to INTVCC, which activates internal 25% triangle frequency modulation around the base oscillator frequency set by the RT resistor. This reduces EMI peak amplitudes without requiring external clock sources or layout changes - a key advantage over fixed-frequency alternatives.
What package type is used for the LT8390AIFE#PBF?
The LT8390AIFE#PBF uses a 28-lead plastic TSSOP package with exposed pad (FE package). The exposed pad (pin 29) must be soldered directly to the PCB ground plane to achieve θJC = 5°C/W thermal resistance and ensure reliable operation at full load. It is not offered in QFN for this temperature grade.
Is the LT8390AIFE#PBF qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the LT8390AIFE#PBF is AEC-Q100 qualified for Grade I (–40°C to +125°C junction temperature), with full reliability testing including HTOL, temperature cycling, and ESD. It is explicitly listed in Analog Devices' automotive ordering table with #PBF lead-free finish and FE package - making it suitable for under-hood and infotainment power systems.
