Product details
Overview
LT8393HUFDM#PBF from Analog Devices is a synchronous 4-switch buck-boost LED controller IC designed for high-voltage, wide-input automotive and industrial LED lighting systems. It regulates LED current across input voltages from 4V to 60V and output voltages from 0V to 100V, supports ±4% LED current accuracy at 100mV full scale, enables 350kHz–2MHz adjustable switching frequency, and features AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive headlamp applications.
For engineers reviewing the LT8393HUFDM#PBF datasheet, LT8393HUFDM#PBF pinout, LT8393HUFDM#PBF application, or LT8393HUFDM#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4-switch single-inductor architecture enabling seamless VIN-above/VIN-below/VIN-equal-VOUT operation, integrated 10V high-side PMOS gate driver (PWMTG), proprietary peak-buck/peak-boost current mode control, and fault reporting via open/short LED detection with configurable retry/latch-off behavior.
Technical Context
The LT8393HUFDM#PBF implements a proprietary peak-buck/peak-boost current mode control scheme using a single inductor current sense resistor (LSP/LSN) and dual current comparators (A3/A4) to enable smooth transitions between buck, buck-boost, and boost regions without audible noise or output disturbance. Its region transition thresholds are precisely defined: buck-to-buck-boost at VIN/VOUT = 1.25, buck-boost-to-boost at 0.75, and peak-buck/peak-boost crossover at 1.00.
It integrates two independent N-channel gate drivers (TG1/BG1 and TG2/BG2) with matched on-resistances (2.6Ω pull-up / 1.4Ω pull-down for TG1/TG2; 3.2Ω/1.2Ω for BG1/BG2), internal 5V INTVCC LDO (4.85–5.15V, 150mA limit), and 2V VREF reference (±2% over temperature). The VC error amplifier output interfaces directly with external RC compensation to set inductor current comparator thresholds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 4V to 60V - supports 12V/24V/48V battery systems and cold-crank transients up to 60V. |
| VOUT Range | 0V to 100V - enables direct drive of multi-string high-voltage LED arrays without external boost stages. |
| LED Current Accuracy | ±4% at 100mV full scale - ensures consistent luminance across temperature and line/load variations. |

| Junction Temp Range | –40°C to +150°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade H for under-hood and headlamp module deployment. |
| Package | 28-pin 4mm × 5mm side-wettable QFN (UFDM) - exposes thermal pad for enhanced PCB heat dissipation (θJC = 3.4°C/W). |
Pinout & Package
LT8393HUFDM#PBF uses a 28-lead (4mm × 5mm) plastic side-wettable QFN package with exposed GND pad (Pin 29) requiring soldering to PCB for thermal and electrical integrity. θJA = 43°C/W, θJC = 3.4°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input supply rail | Primary power input; powers INTVCC LDO and gate drivers; must be bypassed with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor. |
| VOUT | Output supply rail | Determines operating region (buck/buck-boost/boost); serves as positive rail for PWMTG driver. |
| ISP / ISN | LED current sense inputs | Kelvin-connected across RLED to achieve ±4% current regulation accuracy; common-mode range 0–100V. |
| LSP / LSN | Inductor current sense inputs | Kelvin-connected across RSENSE to enable single-inductor 4-switch operation and reverse-current detection. |
| TG1 / BG1 / TG2 / BG2 | N-channel MOSFET gate drivers | Drive external high-side/low-side switches; TG1/TG2 swing SWx-to-BSTx; BG1/BG2 swing GND-to-INTVCC. |
| PWMTG | High-side PMOS PWM switch driver | Inverted buffered PWM output; swing from (VOUT –10V) to VOUT; drives external PMOS for analog/digital dimming. |
| CTRL | Analog dimming control | Sets LED current threshold (0–100mV) with 20:1 linear range; 0.25V–1.15V yields 0–90mV; ≥1.35V fixes at 100mV. |
| FAULT | Open-drain fault indicator | Pulled low on open LED (VFB > 0.95V & V(ISP-ISN) < 10mV) or short LED (VFB < 0.25V); requires external pull-up. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 4-switch single-inductor architecture | Eliminates need for separate buck and boost converters; reduces BOM count, board space, and EMI sources. |
| Flicker-free spread spectrum modulation | 25% triangle dither on internal oscillator when SYNC/SPRD tied to INTVCC - lowers peak EMI by >10dB without affecting regulation. |
| Configurable fault response | SS pin resistor selection (499k = latch-off, 100k = keep-running, no resistor = hiccup) enables system-level safety compliance. |
| 10V high-side PMOS gate driver (PWMTG) | Drives external PMOS switch directly - avoids level-shifter ICs and enables fast, low-loss PWM dimming up to 2000:1. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade H qualification | Validated for –40°C to +150°C operation with lifetime reliability data - suitable for front-end automotive lighting modules. |
Applications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-response current controller synchronizing LED pulses with external timing signals via SYNC/SPRD pin. Use Value: 2MHz max switching frequency enables narrow pulse widths (<500ns); open/short LED fault detection prevents catastrophic failure of expensive UV-C diodes. |
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 40V MOSFETs; fixed 2MHz frequency; no external PWM dimming support. | Targeted at lower-power (<15W), space-constrained designs where integrated FETs reduce layout complexity. | Select LT3965EFE#PBF only if output current ≤ 1.2A and VOUT ≤ 40V; LT8393HUFDM#PBF remains preferred for >40V, >2A, or automotive-grade thermal robustness. |
| LM3423MH/NOPB | External N-channel controller supporting up to 60V VOUT; lacks buck-boost topology - requires separate buck+boost stages for wide VIN/VOUT ratios. | Suitable for cost-sensitive industrial lighting where VIN always > VOUT or VIN always < VOUT, not both. | Choose LM3423MH/NOPB only when system architecture mandates discrete buck and boost sections; LT8393HUFDM#PBF provides superior integration and efficiency in mixed-ratio applications. |
Compared with LT3965EFE#PBF and LM3423MH/NOPB, the LT8393HUFDM#PBF uniquely delivers 100V output capability, seamless 4-switch buck-boost operation, AEC-Q100 Grade H qualification, and 2000:1 external PWM dimming - making it the only option for high-reliability, high-voltage automotive and industrial LED systems requiring single-stage wide-ratio regulation.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage supported by the LT8393HUFDM#PBF?
The LT8393HUFDM#PBF supports a maximum output voltage of 100V, as confirmed by its absolute maximum rating for VOUT, ISP, and ISN pins. This allows direct driving of high-voltage LED strings without intermediate boost stages, and is validated across the full –40°C to +150°C junction temperature range for the H-grade device.
Does the LT8393HUFDM#PBF support spread spectrum frequency modulation?
Yes, the LT8393HUFDM#PBF supports flicker-free spread spectrum modulation. When the SYNC/SPRD pin is tied to INTVCC, the internal oscillator adds 25% triangle dither to the switching frequency - reducing peak EMI emissions without compromising LED current regulation stability or dimming performance.
How does the LT8393HUFDM#PBF handle LED open-circuit faults?
The LT8393HUFDM#PBF detects open LED conditions when VFB exceeds 0.95V while V(ISP-ISN) falls below 10mV. Upon detection, it pulls the FAULT pin low and enters a user-configurable response mode - hiccup, latch-off (via 499k SS-to-GND resistor), or keep-running (via 100k SS-to-GND resistor) - as defined in the datasheet's fault protection section.
What is the purpose of the PWMTG pin on the LT8393HUFDM#PBF?
The PWMTG pin on the LT8393HUFDM#PBF is a buffered, inverted PWM output that drives an external high-side PMOS transistor. It swings from (VOUT –10V) to VOUT, enabling efficient analog or digital PWM dimming up to 2000:1 without requiring external level shifters or gate driver ICs - a key enabler for automotive-grade flicker-free lighting.
Is the LT8393HUFDM#PBF qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the LT8393HUFDM#PBF is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications. It is rated for a junction temperature range of –40°C to +150°C (Grade H), includes overtemperature protection, and is manufactured with controlled processes to meet automotive reliability and quality standards - making it suitable for headlamp, DRL, and interior lighting modules.
