Product details
Overview
LT8391AIUFD#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a synchronous 4-switch buck-boost LED controller IC designed for high-frequency, wide-input-output LED current regulation in automotive and industrial lighting. It operates from 4V to 60V input and delivers 0V to 60V output with ±3% LED current accuracy, 2MHz switching capability, and seamless region transitions-enabling stable drive of 16V/1.5A LED strings in headlamp systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT8391AIUFD#TRPBF datasheet, LT8391AIUFD#TRPBF pinout, LT8391AIUFD#TRPBF application, or LT8391AIUFD#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, 28-pin QFN (4mm × 5mm) package with exposed pad, integrated peak-buck/peak-boost current mode control, and dual analog/PWM dimming support for flicker-free operation.
Technical Context
The LT8391AIUFD#TRPBF implements a proprietary peak-buck/peak-boost current mode architecture that uses a single inductor and shared current sense resistor (LSP/LSN) to maintain continuous conduction across buck, buck-boost, and boost regions. Its internal oscillator supports adjustable 600kHz–2MHz fixed frequency or triangle spread-spectrum modulation via SYNC/SPRD pin.
It integrates dual gate drivers (TG1/BG1/TG2/BG2), a 5V INTVCC LDO, 2V VREF reference, and fault detection circuitry for open/short LED conditions-with FAULT reporting latched or hiccup-mode configurable via SS pin resistor network.

FAQ
What is the maximum switching frequency supported by the LT8391AIUFD#TRPBF?
The LT8391AIUFD#TRPBF supports an adjustable switching frequency range from 600kHz to 2MHz using the RT pin resistor. At RT = 59.0kΩ, the typical frequency is 2MHz - enabling compact magnetic design and reduced output ripple. Frequency synchronization and triangle spread-spectrum modulation are also supported via the SYNC/SPRD pin.
Does the LT8391AIUFD#TRPBF require external MOSFETs, and what types are needed?
Yes, the LT8391AIUFD#TRPBF is a controller IC and requires four external N-channel MOSFETs: two for the buck side (driven by TG1/BG1) and two for the boost side (driven by TG2/BG2). It does not integrate power switches. Bootstrap capacitors must be used with BST1 and BST2 pins to support high-side gate drive.
How does the LT8391AIUFD#TRPBF handle LED open-circuit and short-circuit faults?
The LT8391AIUFD#TRPBF detects open LED conditions when VFB > 0.95V and VISP-ISN < 10mV, and short LED conditions when VFB < 0.25V. Upon detection, it asserts the open-drain FAULT pin low and enters user-configurable behavior - hiccup, latch-off, or keep-running - selected by the resistor value on the SS pin.
Can the LT8391AIUFD#TRPBF drive a high-side PMOS for PWM dimming, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the LT8391AIUFD#TRPBF includes a dedicated PWMTG pin that provides a buffered, inverted PWM signal referenced to VOUT. It drives external high-side PMOS switches with rail-to-rail swing (VOUT to VOUT–5V), supporting fast turn-on/turn-off (<100ns propagation delay) and eliminating refresh noise in buck or boost modes.
Is the LT8391AIUFD#TRPBF pin-compatible with earlier versions like the LT8390A?
No, the LT8391AIUFD#TRPBF is not pin-compatible with the LT8390A. While both share the same 28-pin QFN package and many functional pins, the LT8391A introduces updated internal logic, revised timing characteristics, and additional features (e.g., spread-spectrum control, enhanced fault reporting) that require validation of layout and BOM changes before substitution.
