Product details
Overview
LT8390JFE#PBF 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 Grade 1 qualification (–40°C to +150°C junction). It enables seamless region transitions and is used in automotive battery chargers, industrial power supplies, and telecom voltage regulators.
For engineers reviewing the LT8390JFE#PBF datasheet, LT8390JFE#PBF pinout, LT8390JFE#PBF application, or LT8390JFE#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its peak-buck/peak-boost current mode control, spread spectrum EMI reduction, integrated bootstrap diodes, high-side PMOS load switch driver, and dual current sense inputs (ISP/ISN) for input/output current regulation.
Technical Context
The LT8390JFE#PBF implements Analog Devices' proprietary peak-buck/peak-boost current mode architecture, using a single inductor and shared ISP/ISN current sense path for both buck and boost regions. It supports three operating modes-buck (VIN/VOUT ≤ 0.75), buck-boost (0.75 < VIN/VOUT < 1.33), and boost (VIN/VOUT ≥ 1.33)-with hysteresis-based boundary transitions to prevent chattering.
Control logic integrates two error amplifiers (EA1 for voltage loop, EA2 for current loop), programmable soft-start via SS pin, fault management (FB overvoltage/short detection), and flexible synchronization/spread spectrum via SYNC/SPRD pin. The device drives four external N-channel MOSFETs (TG1/BG1/TG2/BG2) with matched gate drive timing and shoot-through protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 4V to 60V - supports wide-input systems including 12V/24V/48V automotive and industrial rails. |
| VOUT Range | 0V to 60V - enables bidirectional voltage regulation, battery charging, and supercapacitor balancing. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1.5% (1V ≤ VOUT ≤ 60V) - ensures stable regulation across temperature and line/load variations. |
| Switching Frequency | 150kHz–650kHz (adjustable via RT resistor or external sync clock) - balances efficiency, size, and EMI performance. |
| Current Sense Accuracy | ±3% for input/output current monitoring (via ISP/ISN) - enables precise CC/CV battery charging and power limiting. |
| Operating Junction Temp | –40°C to +150°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for under-hood automotive and high-temp industrial use. |
| Spread Spectrum | ±15% triangle modulation (enabled by tying SYNC/SPRD to INTVCC) - reduces peak EMI without external components. |
Pinout & Package
LT8390JFE#PBF 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 |
|---|---|---|
| BG1, BG2 | Buck/Boost bottom gate drivers | Drive N-MOSFET sources to GND; rail-to-rail swing (0V to INTVCC) enables efficient low-side switching. |
| TG1, TG2 | Buck/Boost top gate drivers | Drive N-MOSFET gates from SWx to BSTx; integrated bootstrap diodes reduce external component count. |
| ISP / ISN | Dual-current-sense differential inputs | Support input or output current regulation with Kelvin sensing; full-scale threshold programmable via CTRL pin (5mV–100mV). |
| LOADEN / LOADTG | High-side PMOS load switch control | Enables/disables external PMOS FET; LOADTG provides buffered inverted signal referenced to VOUT (not GND). |
| SYNC/SPRD | Frequency control input | Ground = fixed oscillator; INTVCC = ±15% spread spectrum; external clock = synchronizable operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 4-switch single-inductor topology | Eliminates need for separate buck and boost converters; reduces BOM cost and board area while enabling VIN above/below/equal to VOUT. |
| Seamless region transition | No output disturbance during mode shifts (e.g., buck → buck-boost → boost); critical for uninterrupted power in automotive start-stop and backup systems. |
| Integrated bootstrap diodes | Removes two external Schottky diodes per side; simplifies layout and improves reliability in high-vibration environments. |
| VOUT-disconnect on shutdown | Isolates output from input when EN/UVLO < 0.3V - prevents backfeed and meets automotive load-dump safety requirements. |
| Programmable fault response | Hiccup, latch-off, or continuous operation during short-circuit - configurable via SS-to-VREF resistor (no resistor = hiccup, 499kΩ = latch, 100kΩ = keep running). |
Applications
| Automotive Battery Charger | Industrial 24V/48V Power Supply |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Regulating 12V/24V battery charging from variable alternator or solar input (6V–60V), maintaining constant current/voltage profile. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary buck-boost controller managing both CV and CC stages; uses ISP/ISN for charge current regulation and FB for voltage regulation.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Wide-input buck-boost controller supporting dynamic load steps; uses LOADTG to disconnect loads during deep sleep. Use Value: Extends runtime via high efficiency across entire battery discharge curve; LOADEN-driven load isolation cuts quiescent current to <2µA in shutdown. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck-boost controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT8705EFE#PBF | Wider VIN (2.8V–80V), no spread spectrum, no integrated bootstrap diodes, requires external high-side drivers. | Preferred for ultra-low-VIN applications (e.g., 3.3V systems) but lacks EMI mitigation features and adds complexity. | Select LT8390JFE#PBF when spread spectrum, integrated bootstrap diodes, and AEC-Q100 qualification are required. |
| MPQ4333GQ-AEC1-Z | Monolithic 4-switch buck-boost (integrated MOSFETs), lower current rating (3.5A), fixed 400kHz, no ISP/ISN current monitor. | Suitable for space-constrained consumer-grade designs but cannot support >4A or precision current regulation. | Select LT8390JFE#PBF when external MOSFET flexibility, >4A capability, and dual current sensing are needed. |
Compared with LT8705EFE#PBF and MPQ4333GQ-AEC1-Z, the LT8390JFE#PBF uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 1 rating, ±15% spread spectrum, integrated bootstrap diodes, and dual ISP/ISN current sensing - making it optimal for high-reliability, EMI-sensitive, and programmable-current applications where monolithic or non-automotive controllers fall short.

The LT8390JFE#PBF is rated for operation from –40°C to +150°C junction temperature and is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified. This specification is confirmed in the Order Information table and Absolute Maximum Ratings section of the official LT8390 datasheet Rev. D. Thermal derating applies above 125°C, and overtemperature protection activates above 150°C to safeguard the device.
Does the LT8390JFE#PBF support both input and output current regulation?
Yes, the LT8390JFE#PBF supports both input and output current regulation via its ISP/ISN differential current sense inputs. The device achieves ±3% accuracy across temperature and can be programmed for full-scale thresholds from 5mV to 100mV using the CTRL pin. This capability is explicitly documented in the Electrical Characteristics tables and Pin Functions section of the LT8390 datasheet Rev. D.
How does spread spectrum operation work on the LT8390JFE#PBF?
Spread spectrum on the LT8390JFE#PBF is enabled by connecting the SYNC/SPRD pin to INTVCC, which activates ±15% triangle modulation around the internal oscillator frequency. This feature is specified in the Features list and Electrical Characteristics table (Oscillator section) of the LT8390 datasheet Rev. D. It reduces peak EMI without requiring external clock sources or layout changes.
Can the LT8390JFE#PBF drive external PMOS load switches?
Yes, the LT8390JFE#PBF includes a dedicated high-side PMOS load switch driver via the LOADEN and LOADTG pins. When LOADEN is asserted, LOADTG provides an inverted, buffered gate drive referenced to VOUT (not GND), capable of driving PMOS FETs with VGS up to –5V. This function is detailed in the Pin Functions section and Features list of the LT8390 datasheet Rev. D.
What package type and thermal characteristics does the LT8390JFE#PBF use?
The LT8390JFE#PBF uses a 28-lead plastic TSSOP package with exposed pad (pin 29 = GND), with thermal resistance θJA = 30°C/W and θJC = 5°C/W. The exposed pad must be soldered to the PCB ground plane for optimal thermal performance.
