Product details
Overview
LT8390IFE#PBF from Analog Devices is a synchronous 4-switch buck-boost DC/DC controller supporting 4V–60V input and 0V–60V output, regulating voltage or input/output current with ±1.5% VOUT accuracy (1V–60V), ±3% current sense accuracy, and up to 98% efficiency in 48W (12V/4A) configurations. It enables seamless transitions between buck, buck-boost, and boost regions for automotive battery chargers, industrial power supplies, and telecom voltage regulators.
For engineers reviewing the LT8390IFE#PBF datasheet, LT8390IFE#PBF pinout, LT8390IFE#PBF application, or LT8390IFE#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its AEC-Q100 qualification, spread-spectrum EMI reduction, 150kHz–650kHz adjustable switching frequency, integrated bootstrap diodes, and high-side PMOS load switch driver capability.
Technical Context
The LT8390IFE#PBF implements a proprietary peak-buck/peak-boost current mode control architecture using a single inductor current sense resistor (LSP/LSN) and dual independent current comparators. It dynamically selects operating region-buck (VIN/VOUT ≤ 0.75), buck-boost (0.75 < VIN/VOUT < 1.33), or boost (VIN/VOUT ≥ 1.33)-with hysteresis to prevent mode chatter.
Its control loop integrates two error amplifiers (EA1 for voltage regulation via FB/VC, EA2 for current regulation via ISP/ISN), synchronized oscillator with RT pin programming, and dedicated LOADEN/LOADTG circuitry enabling controlled disconnection of VOUT from VIN during shutdown. The device supports both internal ±15% triangle spread spectrum and external clock synchronization via SYNC/SPRD.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 60V - supports wide-range inputs including 12V/24V/48V automotive and industrial rails. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0V to 60V - enables bidirectional regulation, battery charging, and supercapacitor management. |
| Switching Frequency | 150kHz to 650kHz (adjustable via RT) - balances efficiency, size, and EMI; ±15% spread spectrum reduces peak emissions. |
| VOUT Regulation Accuracy | ±1.5% (1V ≤ VOUT ≤ 60V) - ensures stable output under line/load/temperature variation for precision systems. |
| Current Sense Accuracy | ±3% (ISP/ISN) - enables reliable input or output current limiting and monitoring in CC/CV applications. |

Pinout & Package
LT8390IFE#PBF is housed in a 28-lead plastic TSSOP package with exposed pad (GND), θJA = 30°C/W, θJC = 5°C/W. The exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| LOADEN / LOADTG | High-Side PMOS Load Switch Control | LOADEN enables/disables the buffered inverted LOADTG gate drive (VOUT–5V to VOUT). |
| SYNC/SPRD | Frequency Control Input | GND = fixed frequency; INTVCC = ±15% spread spectrum; external clock = synchronization. |
| FB / VC / RT / SS | Feedback, Compensation, Frequency, Soft-Start | Standard control interface: FB sets VOUT, VC compensates loop, RT sets fSW, SS controls startup ramp. |
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 VIN-above/below-VOUT systems. |
| Seamless Region Transitions | No output disturbance during buck ↔ buck-boost ↔ boost mode changes; critical for uninterrupted power in automotive start-stop. |
| Integrated Bootstrap Diodes | Reduces external component count by embedding Schottky diodes from INTVCC to BST1/BST2 pins. |
| VOUT Disconnection During Shutdown | Isolates output from input when EN/UVLO < 0.3V - prevents backfeed and meets automotive safety requirements. |
| Programmable Fault Protection | Configurable short-circuit response (hiccup/latch-off/keep-running) via SS-to-VREF resistor network. |
| High-Side PMOS Load Switch Driver | LOADTG provides rail-to-rail gate drive referenced to VOUT - enables efficient hot-swap and load disconnect. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LT8390IFE#PBF?
The LT8390IFE#PBF has an absolute maximum input voltage (VIN) rating of 60V, with guaranteed operation across a 4V to 60V input range. This allows direct use with 48V telecom systems, 36V industrial rails, and 12V/24V automotive batteries including cold-crank and load-dump conditions. Exceeding 60V may cause permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Does the LT8390IFE#PBF support both input and output current regulation?
Yes, the LT8390IFE#PBF supports precise ±3% accurate regulation of either input current (via ISP/ISN pins) or output current (via LSP/LSN pins), selectable through configuration of the CTRL pin and feedback network. This dual-mode capability makes the LT8390IFE#PBF ideal for battery charging (CC/CV), LED drivers, and programmable current sources.
How does the LT8390IFE#PBF achieve low EMI performance?
The LT8390IFE#PBF achieves low EMI through integrated ±15% triangle spread-spectrum frequency modulation (enabled by tying SYNC/SPRD to INTVCC), coupled with seamless buck/buck-boost/boost region transitions that eliminate switching discontinuities. Its 4-switch architecture also avoids the high dI/dt edges typical of conventional boost converters, further reducing radiated emissions.
What package type and thermal characteristics does the LT8390IFE#PBF use?
The LT8390IFE#PBF uses a 28-lead plastic TSSOP package with exposed pad (pin 29 = GND). Its thermal resistance is θJA = 30°C/W and θJC = 5°C/W when the exposed pad is properly soldered to a 4-layer PCB with ≥2 in² copper pour. This enables 48W operation at 125°C ambient with appropriate layout and airflow.
Is the LT8390IFE#PBF qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the LT8390IFE#PBF is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade I, –40°C to +125°C) and designed for automotive applications including battery chargers, start-stop systems, and infotainment power supplies. It includes built-in overtemperature protection, short-circuit recovery modes, and robust ESD tolerance - meeting stringent automotive reliability and safety requirements.
