Product details
Overview
LT8390IUFD#PBF from Analog Devices is a synchronous 4-switch buck-boost DC/DC controller supporting 4V to 60V input and 0V to 60V output, with ±1.5% output voltage accuracy, 150kHz–650kHz adjustable switching frequency, and spread-spectrum EMI reduction. It regulates voltage or input/output current in automotive battery systems, industrial power supplies, and telecom voltage regulators where VIN may be above, below, or equal to VOUT.
For engineers reviewing the LT8390IUFD#PBF datasheet, LT8390IUFD#PBF pinout, LT8390IUFD#PBF application, or LT8390IUFD#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its peak-buck/peak-boost current mode control architecture, 28-pin QFN (4mm × 5mm) package with exposed thermal pad, AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive use, and integrated bootstrap diodes enabling compact high-efficiency designs.
Technical Context
The LT8390IUFD#PBF implements a proprietary dual-mode current sensing scheme using a single inductor sense resistor (LSP/LSN) to support seamless transitions between buck, buck-boost, and boost regions based on VIN/VOUT ratio - with defined transition thresholds at 0.75 (buck-boost→boost), 0.85 (boost→buck-boost), 1.18 (buck→buck-boost), and 1.33 (buck-boost→buck). Its internal error amplifier (VC) sets current comparator thresholds while FB regulates output to 1.00V reference.
Control logic includes independent gate drivers for four external NMOS switches (TG1/BG1/TG2/BG2), integrated high-side PMOS load switch driver (LOADTG), and programmable fault responses (retry/latch-off/keep-running) during output short-circuit events. Spread spectrum modulation is enabled by tying SYNC/SPRD to INTVCC, delivering ±15% triangle frequency dithering around the oscillator setpoint.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| Output Voltage Range | 0V to 60V - enables bidirectional regulation and battery charging/discharging applications without polarity reversal. |
| Switching Frequency | 150kHz to 650kHz - adjustable via RT resistor; synchronizable externally or modulated with ±15% spread spectrum for EMI compliance. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1.5% over –40°C to 125°C - ensures stable regulation across automotive temperature extremes without calibration. |
| Current Sense Accuracy | ±3% for ISP/ISN monitoring - provides reliable input/output current limiting and telemetry in CV/CC battery charger designs. |

Pinout & Package
LT8390IUFD#PBF is housed in a 28-lead (4mm × 5mm) plastic QFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 29 = GND), optimized for thermal performance (θJA = 43°C/W, θJC = 3.4°C/W) in space-constrained automotive and industrial applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TG1, BG1, TG2, BG2 | NMOS gate drivers | Drive external high-side (TG1/TG2) and low-side (BG1/BG2) N-channel MOSFETs with 2.6Ω pull-up / 1.4Ω pull-down resistance and <25ns rise/fall times. |
| BST1, BST2 | Bootstrap floating supplies | Integrate Schottky diodes from INTVCC; require external capacitors to SW1/SW2 for high-side NMOS gate drive above VIN/VOUT. |
| LSP, LSN | Buck-side inductor current sense | Kelvin-connected inputs for accurate inductor current measurement in all operating regions (buck/buck-boost/boost). |
| ISP, ISN | Input/output current monitor | Dedicated differential inputs for precise current regulation and protection; ISMON outputs 10×(VISP–VISN)+0.25V. |
| LOADEN / LOADTG | High-side PMOS load switch control | LOADEN enables/disables the external PMOS; LOADTG provides buffered inverted gate drive referenced to VOUT. |
| SYNC/SPRD | Frequency control | GND = fixed frequency; INTVCC = ±15% spread spectrum; external clock = synchronization - no external components needed for EMI reduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 4-switch single-inductor architecture | Eliminates need for separate buck and boost converters - reduces BOM count, PCB area, and design complexity in wide-input-range systems. |
| Seamless region transitions | No output glitches or regulation loss when crossing VIN/VOUT boundaries (e.g., cold-crank 6V → nominal 14V in automotive start-stop). |
| Integrated bootstrap diodes | Removes two external Schottky diodes per side - simplifies layout, improves reliability, and reduces component count in high-density designs. |
| VOUT disconnection during shutdown | Isolates output from input when EN/UVLO < 0.3V - prevents backfeed in battery-powered systems and meets automotive sleep-mode requirements. |
| Programmable fault response | Three short-circuit recovery modes (hiccup/latch-off/keep-running) selected via SS-to-VREF resistor - enables system-level safety tailoring without firmware. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output power achievable with the LT8390IUFD#PBF in a typical 12V/4A application?
The LT8390IUFD#PBF achieves up to 48W output power (12V × 4A) with 98% efficiency in buck-boost configuration, as verified in the typical application circuit. Thermal performance is enabled by its 28-lead QFN package with exposed pad (θJC = 3.4°C/W), allowing sustained operation at full load under proper PCB copper pour and airflow conditions.
Does the LT8390IUFD#PBF support both input and output current regulation, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the LT8390IUFD#PBF supports both input and output current regulation using dedicated ISP/ISN differential inputs with ±3% accuracy. Regulation is achieved by feeding the ISMON monitor output (10×VISP–VISN + 0.25V) into the CTRL pin or external op-amp loop - enabling precise CV/CC battery charging, LED driving, or overload protection without additional ICs.
How does the LT8390IUFD#PBF handle transitions between buck, buck-boost, and boost operating regions?
The LT8390IUFD#PBF uses a proprietary peak-buck/peak-boost current mode control scheme that automatically detects VIN/VOUT ratios and switches between four states with hysteresis. Transitions occur smoothly at defined thresholds (e.g., 0.75 for buck-boost→boost, 1.18 for buck→buck-boost), eliminating output voltage glitches and ensuring uninterrupted regulation during dynamic input changes.
What package and thermal characteristics define the LT8390IUFD#PBF, and how do they impact layout?
The LT8390IUFD#PBF uses a 28-lead 4mm × 5mm QFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 29 = GND). Its θJC = 3.4°C/W requires direct soldering of the pad to a large internal ground plane; recommended layout includes ≥4 thermal vias under the pad and minimum 1µF ceramic bypassing on VIN, VOUT, and INTVCC pins per datasheet guidelines.
Can the LT8390IUFD#PBF be synchronized to an external clock, and what are the voltage requirements for the SYNC/SPRD pin?
Yes, the LT8390IUFD#PBF supports external synchronization via the SYNC/SPRD pin. When driven with a TTL/CMOS clock (150kHz–650kHz), the pin accepts 0.4V–1.5V logic thresholds. For spread-spectrum operation, tie SYNC/SPRD to INTVCC (5V); for fixed-frequency operation, ground the pin. Input bias current is ±0.1µA, minimizing loading on clock sources.
