Product details
Overview
LT8391DJUFDM#WPBF from Analog Devices is a synchronous 4-switch buck-boost LED controller IC that regulates constant LED current across input voltages (4V–60V) both above, below, or equal to output (0V–60V), enabling seamless mode transitions in automotive headlamps and industrial lighting. It delivers ±4% LED current accuracy at 100mV full scale, supports 150kHz–650kHz adjustable switching frequency, and integrates open/short LED fault detection with FAULT pin reporting.
For engineers reviewing the LT8391DJUFDM#WPBF datasheet, LT8391DJUFDM#WPBF pinout, LT8391DJUFDM#WPBF application, or LT8391DJUFDM#WPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, 98% peak efficiency at 25V/2A, spread-spectrum EMI reduction, and dual gate drivers (TG1/BG1/TG2/BG2) supporting external NMOS switches in single-inductor architecture.
Technical Context
The LT8391DJUFDM#WPBF implements Analog Devices' proprietary peak-buck/peak-boost current-mode control using a single inductor current sense resistor (LSP/LSN) and dual comparators (A3/A4) to manage four power switches across buck, buck-boost, and boost regions. Its operation dynamically selects between buck logic and boost logic based on VIN/VOUT ratio, with hysteresis preventing chattering during region transitions.
It features two independent bootstrap supplies (BST1/BST2), internal 5V INTVCC LDO (4.85–5.15V), 2V VREF reference, and VC error amplifier output driving both current sense thresholds. Fault protection includes FB overvoltage (1.05V), open LED (0.95V), and short LED (0.05V) detection, with latch-off, hiccup, or keep-running modes configurable via SS pin resistor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 4V to 60V - supports 12V/24V/48V automotive and battery systems without external pre-regulation. |
| VOUT Range | 0V to 60V - enables direct drive of multi-LED strings up to 17+ white LEDs (≈51V) or low-voltage COB modules. |
| Switching Frequency | 150kHz to 650kHz - adjustable via RT pin resistor; ±15% triangle spread spectrum reduces EMI peaks for automotive EMC compliance. |
| LED Current Accuracy | ±4% at 100mV full scale - ensures consistent luminance across temperature (-40°C to 150°C) and line/load variations. |
| Efficiency | 98% at 25V/2A - achieved via synchronous 4-switch topology eliminating diode losses and minimizing conduction loss in high-current paths. |
| Fault Protection | Open LED (FB > 0.95V), short LED (FB < 0.05V), overvoltage (FB > 1.05V) - FAULT pin asserts open-drain low with user-selectable response mode. |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to 150°C junction - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1, suitable for under-hood automotive LED driver placement. |
Pinout & Package
LT8391DJUFDM#WPBF is housed in a 28-lead (4mm × 5mm) plastic side-wettable QFN (UFDM) package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 29 = GND). The package supports automated optical inspection (AOI) and provides θJA = 34°C/W for high-power LED driver thermal management.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TG1, TG2 | Buck/Boost top gate drives | Drive external high-side NMOS (SW1/SW2 nodes); each swings from SWx to BSTx, enabling bootstrap operation. |
| BG1, BG2 | Buck/Boost bottom gate drives | Drive external low-side NMOS; swing from GND to INTVCC (5V), compatible with standard logic-level MOSFETs. |
| LSP/LSN | Buck-side inductor current sense | Kelvin connection to RSENSE for accurate peak-buck current sensing and reverse-current detection in all modes. |
| ISP/ISN | LED string current sense | Kelvin connection to RLED; sets LED current threshold via CTRL pin (0–100mV range) with ±4% accuracy. |
| FB | Voltage loop feedback | Regulates to 1.00V for CV operation; triggers FAULT on open (FB > 0.95V) or short (FB < 0.05V) conditions. |
| CTRL | LED current programming | Analog dimming input: ILED = Min(VCTRL − 0.25V, 1V) / (10 × RLED); enables 20:1 analog dimming range. |
| FAULT | Open-drain fault indicator | Pulled low during LED fault; updated only during PWM high state and latched during PWM low for stable reporting. |
| SS | Soft-start/fault mode control | Capacitor sets soft-start ramp time; resistor to VREF configures fault response: hiccup (no resistor), latch-off (499k), keep-running (100k). |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3965EFE#PBF | 4-switch buck-boost LED controller with integrated 50V MOSFETs; fixed 500kHz frequency; no spread spectrum; lower max VIN (55V). | Targeted at space-constrained designs where integration reduces layout complexity; lacks AEC-Q100 qualification. | Choose LT3965EFE#PBF when board area is critical and external MOSFETs are undesirable; avoid for automotive under-hood use. |
| LM3423MH/NOPB | Controller-only (no integrated LDO); requires external 5V bias; max VIN 75V; no spread spectrum; no AEC-Q100 rating. | Suitable for high-input industrial LED drivers where cost sensitivity outweighs EMI performance; limited thermal rating (–40°C to 125°C). | Choose LM3423MH/NOPB for non-automotive 72VDC systems needing higher input voltage margin; verify external bias design robustness. |

FAQ
What is the maximum LED string voltage supported by the LT8391DJUFDM#WPBF?
The LT8391DJUFDM#WPBF supports output voltages up to 60V, enabling direct drive of LED strings with forward voltages up to ≈51V (e.g., 17× white LEDs at 3V each) or UV-C arrays requiring 36–40V. Its 0V–60V VOUT range allows operation even with zero-output configurations when used in current-source mode with external sensing.
How does the LT8391DJUFDM#WPBF achieve seamless buck-to-boost transition without flicker?
The LT8391DJUFDM#WPBF uses proprietary peak-buck/peak-boost current-mode control with hysteresis-based region detection and dual comparators (A3/A4). It continuously monitors VIN/VOUT ratio and adjusts switch timing-maintaining continuous inductor current and constant LED current regulation across all three regions (buck, buck-boost, boost) without interruption or visible light modulation.
Can the LT8391DJUFDM#WPBF be used without an external microcontroller for analog dimming?
Yes. The LT8391DJUFDM#WPBF supports standalone analog dimming via its CTRL pin: applying 0.25V–1.35V sets LED current linearly from 0–100mV sense threshold, delivering 20:1 dimming range. No MCU is required-dimming can be implemented with a simple resistor divider from VREF (2V) or external DAC.
What thermal management considerations apply to the LT8391DJUFDM#WPBF in high-power LED designs?
The LT8391DJUFDM#WPBF's 28-pin UFDM package has θJA = 34°C/W and requires soldering the exposed thermal pad (Pin 29) directly to a solid ground plane. For 50W+ applications, a 2–4 cm² copper pour with ≥4 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter) is recommended. Junction temperature must remain ≤150°C; internal overtemperature protection activates above this threshold.
Does the LT8391DJUFDM#WPBF support PWM dimming at frequencies above 1kHz?
Yes. The LT8391DJUFDM#WPBF accepts PWM signals up to 20kHz without degradation in dimming linearity or current regulation. Its FAULT pin updates only during PWM high state and latches during low state, ensuring stable fault reporting even at high PWM frequencies used in flicker-free human-centric lighting.
