Product details
Overview
LT8390EFE#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a synchronous 4-switch buck-boost DC/DC controller supporting 4V–60V input and 0V–60V output, with ±1.5% output voltage accuracy, 150kHz–650kHz adjustable switching frequency, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive use. It enables seamless transitions between buck, buck-boost, and boost modes in battery charger, telecom power, and industrial voltage regulator applications.
For engineers reviewing the LT8390EFE#TRPBF datasheet, LT8390EFE#TRPBF pinout, LT8390EFE#TRPBF application, or LT8390EFE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its peak-buck/peak-boost current mode control architecture, integrated bootstrap diodes, spread spectrum EMI reduction, high-side PMOS load switch driver, and dual current sense (LSP/LSN + ISP/ISN) capability for precise input/output current regulation.
Technical Context
The LT8390EFE#TRPBF implements a proprietary dual-mode current sensing scheme: LSP/LSN monitors inductor current for peak-buck/peak-boost control across all VIN/VOUT regions, while ISP/ISN provides independent input or output current regulation with ±3% accuracy. Its region transition thresholds (e.g., buck-to-buck-boost at VIN/VOUT = 1.16–1.20) are fixed and internally calibrated.
Control logic integrates a 2V reference (VREF), 5V internal LDO (INTVCC), error amplifier (VC), and dual gate drivers (TG1/BG1 for buck side; TG2/BG2 for boost side), with dedicated LOADEN/LOADTG pins enabling external high-side PMOS load switch control and VOUT disconnection during shutdown.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 4V to 60V - supports wide-input systems including automotive cold-crank (4.5V) and industrial 48V rails. |
| VOUT Capability | 0V to 60V - enables bidirectional voltage regulation without polarity reversal hardware. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1.5% (1V ≤ VOUT ≤ 60V) - ensures stable regulation across temperature and line/load variations. |
| Current Sense Accuracy | ±3% for ISP/ISN monitoring - enables reliable CC/CV battery charging and input current limiting. |
| Switching Frequency | 150kHz–650kHz adjustable via RT resistor or SYNC/SPRD pin - allows EMI optimization and inductor size trade-offs. |
| Spread Spectrum | ±15% triangle modulation - reduces peak EMI by spreading energy across frequency band. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C junction - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial environments. |
Pinout & Package
LT8390EFE#TRPBF is housed in a 28-lead plastic TSSOP package with exposed pad (θJA = 30°C/W, θJC = 5°C/W). The exposed pad (Pin 29) is GND and must be soldered to PCB for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| ISP/ISN | Input/output current monitor inputs | Enable programmable CC regulation (e.g., battery charge current) with 10× gain on ISMON output. |
| LOADEN/LOADTG | High-side PMOS load switch control | LOADEN enables/disables external PMOS; LOADTG provides buffered inverted drive referenced to VOUT. |
| SYNC/SPRD | Frequency control input | Ground = fixed oscillator; INTVCC = ±15% spread spectrum; external clock = synchronization to system master. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 4-switch single-inductor architecture | Eliminates need for separate buck and boost converters; reduces BOM count and board area in wide-VIN applications. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage supported by the LT8390EFE#TRPBF?
The LT8390EFE#TRPBF supports an output voltage range of 0V to 60V. This capability is enabled by its 4-switch buck-boost architecture and internal circuitry rated for up to 60V absolute maximum on VOUT, ISP, ISN, and other key pins. The device maintains ±1.5% output voltage accuracy across this full range when VOUT is between 1V and 60V, making it suitable for high-voltage industrial and telecom applications where traditional buck-only or boost-only controllers fall short. The LT8390EFE#TRPBF achieves this without requiring external level-shifting or protection circuitry.
Does the LT8390EFE#TRPBF support spread spectrum frequency modulation?
Yes, the LT8390EFE#TRPBF supports internal ±15% triangle spread spectrum frequency modulation (SSFM) to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI). When the SYNC/SPRD pin is tied to INTVCC, the device automatically applies triangle modulation around its internal oscillator frequency - for example, ±15% around 400kHz yields a 340kHz–460kHz sweep. This feature is confirmed in the datasheet's FEATURES section and Electrical Characteristics table, where "Highest Spread Spectrum Above Oscillator Frequency" is specified as 12.5–16.5% and "Lowest Spread Spectrum Below" as –17.7 to –13.7%. The LT8390EFE#TRPBF does not require external components to enable SSFM.
How does the LT8390EFE#TRPBF handle transitions between buck, buck-boost, and boost operating regions?
The LT8390EFE#TRPBF uses a proprietary peak-buck/peak-boost current mode control scheme that ensures seamless, low-noise transitions between operating regions based on the VIN/VOUT ratio. Transition thresholds are precisely defined: buck-to-buck-boost occurs at VIN/VOUT = 1.16–1.20, buck-boost-to-boost at 0.83–0.87, and peak-buck-to-peak-boost at 0.96–1.00. These boundaries are internally calibrated and do not require user configuration. During transitions, the controller dynamically adjusts duty cycles and gate drive timing to prevent output voltage disturbance or current discontinuity - a key advantage over dual-controller or hybrid solutions. This behavior is validated in the Typical Performance Characteristics section (Figures G01–G03) and Operation chapter of the LT8390EFE#TRPBF datasheet.
What is the purpose of the LOADEN and LOADTG pins on the LT8390EFE#TRPBF?
The LOADEN and LOADTG pins on the LT8390EFE#TRPBF provide dedicated control for an external high-side PMOS load switch. LOADEN is a logic-level enable input (1.3–1.5V threshold); when asserted high, it activates LOADTG - a buffered, inverted output that drives the PMOS gate from (VOUT – 5V) to VOUT. This allows clean disconnection of the output from the input during shutdown, preventing backfeed in battery-powered systems. When LOADEN is low, TG1/TG2 are disabled and BG1/BG2 are enabled, ensuring safe gate states. The LT8390EFE#TRPBF datasheet specifies LOADTG turn-on/off propagation delays (<90ns) and voltage swing ranges, confirming its suitability for fast, reliable load switching in automotive and industrial applications.
Is the LT8390EFE#TRPBF qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the LT8390EFE#TRPBF is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications. It belongs to the "E" grade variant (–40°C to +125°C operating junction temperature) and is explicitly listed in the ORDER INFORMATION table as meeting AEC-Q100 requirements. The datasheet confirms this qualification in the FEATURES section ("AEC-Q100 Qualified for Automotive Applications") and in Note 2, which states that the LT8390E is guaranteed over the full –40°C to +125°C range. This makes the LT8390EFE#TRPBF suitable for under-hood and cabin applications including battery management, infotainment power supplies, and ADAS subsystems where automotive-grade reliability and temperature resilience are mandatory.
