Product details
Overview
LT8390IFE#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a synchronous 4-switch buck-boost DC/DC controller supporting input voltages from 4V to 60V and output voltages from 0V to 60V, with ±1.5% output voltage accuracy (1V–60V), adjustable 150kHz–650kHz switching frequency, and integrated spread spectrum for EMI reduction. It enables seamless transitions between buck, buck-boost, and boost modes and is used in automotive battery chargers and industrial power supplies requiring wide VIN/VOUT flexibility.
For engineers reviewing the LT8390IFE#TRPBF datasheet, LT8390IFE#TRPBF pinout, LT8390IFE#TRPBF application, or LT8390IFE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its peak-buck/peak-boost current mode control architecture, 28-lead TSSOP package with exposed pad, AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive use, ±3% input/output current monitoring accuracy, and fault protection modes (hiccup/latch-off/keep-running) during short-circuit events.
Technical Context
The LT8390IFE#TRPBF implements a proprietary dual-mode current sensing scheme using a single inductor current sense resistor (LSP/LSN) and separate high-side current monitor (ISP/ISN), enabling precise regulation of input or output current across all operating regions. Its control logic dynamically selects between peak-buck and peak-boost current mode based on real-time VIN/VOUT ratio - with defined transition thresholds at 0.75 (buck→buck-boost), 0.85 (buck-boost→boost), 1.18 (buck→buck-boost), and 1.33 (buck-boost→boost).
It integrates two independent gate drivers (TG1/BG1 for buck side; TG2/BG2 for boost side), internal bootstrap diodes for BST1/BST2, and a high-side PMOS load switch driver (LOADTG) with 4.6V–5.6V on-voltage at VOUT = 12V. The device supports external synchronization or triangle spread spectrum modulation via the SYNC/SPRD pin and features soft-start timing controlled by an external capacitor on SS pin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 4V to 60V - supports direct connection to 12V/24V/48V automotive and industrial rails without pre-regulation. |
| VOUT Range | 0V to 60V - enables bidirectional voltage conversion for battery charging, supercapacitor balancing, and wide-output applications. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1.5% over 1V ≤ VOUT ≤ 60V - ensures stable regulation across full output range without trimming. |
| Switching Frequency | 150kHz to 650kHz, adjustable via RT resistor or external sync clock - allows layout optimization for size vs. efficiency trade-offs. |
| Current Sense Accuracy | ±3% for ISP/ISN monitoring - supports accurate input/output current limiting and telemetry in battery management systems. |
| Efficiency | Up to 98% at 48W (12V/4A) - minimizes thermal stress and enables compact heatsink-free designs in space-constrained systems. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C junction - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial environments with extended thermal margin. |
Pinout & Package
LT8390IFE#TRPBF is housed in a 28-lead plastic TSSOP package with exposed pad (pin 29 = GND), θJA = 30°C/W, θJC = 5°C/W. The exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FB | Voltage feedback input | Regulates output to 1.00V reference; enables CV operation and FB-based overvoltage/short-circuit protection. |
| ISP / ISN | High-side current sense inputs | Supports ±750mV overcurrent detection and 10× scaled analog monitor output (ISMON) for system telemetry. |
| LSP / LSN | Buck-side inductor current sense | Enables peak-current mode control across all regions using single Kelvin-connected sense resistor. |
| TG1 / BG1 / SW1 / BST1 | Buck-side NMOS gate drive chain | Drives external high-side and low-side N-channel MOSFETs; integrated bootstrap diode reduces component count. |
| TG2 / BG2 / SW2 / BST2 | Boost-side NMOS gate drive chain | Independent boost-side driver set enables true 4-switch operation without shared switch node limitations. |
| LOADEN / LOADTG | High-side PMOS load switch control | Allows controlled disconnect of VOUT from load during shutdown or fault; LOADTG swings from (VOUT–5V) to VOUT. |
| SYNC/SPRD | Frequency control interface | Ground = fixed frequency; INTVCC = ±15% triangle spread spectrum; external clock = synchronization up to 650kHz. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck-boost controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT8705IFE#TRPBF | Wider 2.8V–80V input range; no integrated spread spectrum; requires external current sense amp for ISP/ISN function. | Preferred for ultra-low-VIN applications (e.g., 3.3V backup rails); lacks AEC-Q100 qualification. | Select when input may dip below 4V or when higher VIN tolerance is required; verify external sensing circuitry for current monitoring. |
| MPQ4332GRE-A-Z | 3.3V–40V input; integrated MOSFETs (40V/5A); fixed 500kHz frequency; no ISP/ISN monitor or spread spectrum. | Suitable for lower-power (<25W), cost-sensitive consumer applications; not rated for automotive temperature range. | Choose for simplified design with integrated FETs where power level and temperature range allow; not drop-in compatible due to different pinout and feature set. |
Compared with LT8390IFE#TRPBF, LT8705IFE#TRPBF offers broader VIN capability but requires more external components for current monitoring, while MPQ4332GRE-A-Z integrates power stages but sacrifices programmability, EMI performance, and automotive qualification - making LT8390IFE#TRPBF optimal for high-reliability, wide-range, and EMI-sensitive applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LT8390IFE#TRPBF?
The LT8390IFE#TRPBF itself does not deliver output current directly - it is a controller IC that drives external MOSFETs. Its current sense architecture supports up to 6.7A output current limit (based on 100mV full-scale ISP/ISN threshold and typical 15mΩ sense resistor), enabling designs like the 48W (12V/4A) reference circuit. Actual output current depends on selected external FETs, inductor, and thermal design.
Does the LT8390IFE#TRPBF support both buck and boost operation simultaneously?
No - the LT8390IFE#TRPBF operates in one region at a time (buck, buck-boost, or boost), but transitions seamlessly between them as VIN/VOUT ratio changes. Its peak-buck/peak-boost current mode control automatically selects the appropriate mode without interruption, ensuring continuous regulation during input or load transients - for example, crossing from VIN = 14V → VOUT = 12V (buck) to VIN = 10V → VOUT = 12V (boost) without output glitch.
How is spread spectrum enabled on the LT8390IFE#TRPBF?
Spread spectrum is enabled by connecting the SYNC/SPRD pin to INTVCC (5V), which activates internal ±15% triangle modulation around the oscillator frequency set by the RT resistor. This reduces EMI peak emissions without requiring external clock sources or complex filtering. Grounding SYNC/SPRD disables spread spectrum and locks operation to the fixed RT-set frequency.
What package type and thermal characteristics does the LT8390IFE#TRPBF use?
The LT8390IFE#TRPBF 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. The exposed pad must be soldered to a solid PCB ground plane to achieve specified junction-to-case performance and ensure reliable operation at full load in high-temperature environments.
Is the LT8390IFE#TRPBF pin-compatible with other members of the LT8390 family?
Yes - all LT8390 variants (E/I/J/H grades in FE and UFD packages) share identical pinouts and footprint. The LT8390IFE#TRPBF (TSSOP, –40°C to +125°C) is mechanically and electrically compatible with LT8390EFE#TRPBF and LT8390JFE#TRPBF, differing only in temperature grade and screening. No PCB redesign is needed when upgrading or substituting within the same package type.
