Product details
Overview
LT8471EUFD#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual-channel, multitopology PWM DC/DC controller IC with two integrated 2A, 50V NPN power switches and one 500mA Skyhook boost switch. It supports independent buck, boost, SEPIC, ZETA, flyback, and inverting configurations per channel, enabling simultaneous positive and negative outputs (e.g., +5V/–5V) from a single 6V–32V input. Designed for local power supply generation in signal chain and industrial embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT8471EUFD#TRPBF datasheet, LT8471EUFD#TRPBF pinout, LT8471EUFD#TRPBF application, or LT8471EUFD#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-channel current-mode control, programmable 100kHz–2MHz switching frequency via RT pin or external SYNC, anti-phase operation to reduce input ripple, integrated power good (PG1/PG2), and Skyhook-enabled high-side drive capability for buck/ZETA topologies.
Technical Context
The LT8471EUFD#TRPBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control on both primary channels, with independent error amplifiers (70 μmhos transconductance, 95 V/V gain), programmable soft-start (via SS1/SS2 capacitors), and frequency foldback during startup. Its Skyhook channel operates as a fixed-voltage (4.25V typical above C2), voltage-mode boost regulator with integrated Schottky diode and 500mA current limit.
Channel 1 and Channel 2 clocks are phase-shifted ~180° to minimize input capacitor RMS current; each channel features independent UVLO/OVLO programming via OV/UV pin, ±789 mV / –788 mV feedback thresholds, and open-drain PG outputs asserting low when output deviates >7.5% from target. The device supports high-side and low-side switch configurations with distinct voltage ratings: up to 40V VIN–E or 60V VIN–E depending on topology.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.6V to 50V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive rails without pre-regulation |
| Primary Switch Rating | 2.55A max, 50V VCE - enables robust 2A continuous output in buck/boost/SEPIC with margin |
| Skyhook Switch Rating | 500mA, 4.25V regulated boost above C2 - supplies base drive for high-side NPN switches in buck/ZETA |
| Switching Frequency Range | 100kHz to 2MHz - adjustable via RT resistor or external SYNC clock; enables EMI optimization and compact magnetics |
| Feedback Voltage Accuracy | ±1.5% over temp (773–805 mV positive / –806 to –770 mV negative) - ensures tight output regulation across dual-rail systems |

Pinout & Package
LT8471EUFD#TRPBF is housed in a 28-lead (4mm × 5mm) plastic QFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 29 = GND). All GND pins (Pins 11, 12, 17, 22, 23, 24, 28, and exposed pad) must be soldered to PCB ground plane for electrical integrity and thermal performance (θJA = 44°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| C1, C2 (Pins 1, 20) | Primary channel collector terminals | Connect to inductor/diode nodes; require minimal trace area to suppress EMI in switching paths |
| E1, E2 (Pins 2, 19) | Primary channel emitter terminals | Return path for 2A switches; tied to ground in low-side configs; float in high-side configs |
| C3 (Pin 13) | Skyhook collector | Must tie to GND if Skyhook disabled; otherwise connects to boost inductor anode |
| SHOUT (Pin 14) | Skyhook output cathode | Provides 4.25V-regulated boost voltage above C2; supplies VIN1/VIN2 in high-side topologies |
| FB1, FB2 (Pins 5, 16) | Output voltage sense inputs | Accept resistor dividers for precise ±5V, ±12V, or custom rail regulation; ±789 mV/–788 mV reference |
| PG1, PG2 (Pins 4, 17) | Open-drain power good indicators | Pull high externally; go low when respective output falls >7.5% below setpoint |
| OV/UV (Pin 6) | Programmable enable/disable pin | 1.215V threshold; enables device when ≥1.215V, shuts down when <0.3V |
| RT (Pin 7) | Oscillator timing input | Resistor-to-GND sets free-running frequency (fOSC = 85.5/(RT+1) MHz) |
| SYNC (Pin 9) | External clock input | Accepts 100kHz–2MHz digital clock; overrides RT setting; low <0.4V reverts to internal oscillator |
| VIN1, VIN2 (Pins 3, 18) | Channel power supplies | VIN1 powers Channel 1 + Skyhook + bias; VIN2 powers Channel 2 only; both require ≥2.6V |
| SS1, SS2 (Pins 8, 15) | Soft-start control inputs | Capacitor-to-GND sets ramp rate; internal 250kΩ pull-up charges to ~2.15V at startup |
Key Features

| Anti-phase switching between channels | Reduces input capacitor RMS current and input ripple by ~30% vs. in-phase operation |
| Programmable UVLO/OVLO via OV/UV pin | Single-pin resistor divider configures precise input voltage lockout thresholds for system-level brown-in/out protection |
| Frequency foldback during startup | Reduces minimum duty cycle by factor of 8 to improve controllability and limit inrush current before regulation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel DC/DC controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3892-2 | Two independent 60V synchronous buck controllers; no integrated switches or Skyhook; requires external MOSFETs | Better efficiency (>95%) and higher current capability (10A+ per channel); lacks inverting/SEPIC/flyback support | Select when high-efficiency buck-only rails are needed and board space allows external FETs and gate drivers |
| LM51571 | Single-channel 60V boost/SEPIC/flyback controller with integrated 1.2A FET; no dual-channel or negative output capability | Lower BOM cost for single-rail boost applications; cannot generate dual or bipolar outputs without additional ICs | Select for cost-sensitive single-output boost/SEPIC designs where dual-channel functionality is unnecessary |

FAQ
What topologies can the LT8471EUFD#TRPBF support on each channel?
The LT8471EUFD#TRPBF supports buck, boost, SEPIC, ZETA, flyback, and inverting DC/DC converter topologies independently on Channel 1 and Channel 2. Each channel uses its own 2A, 50V NPN switch and dedicated feedback (FB1/FB2) and power good (PG1/PG2) circuitry. The Skyhook channel enables high-side configurations by providing a boosted voltage to VIN1/VIN2 when required.
How does the Skyhook channel function in the LT8471EUFD#TRPBF?
The Skyhook channel in the LT8471EUFD#TRPBF is a dedicated 500mA boost regulator that generates a fixed 4.25V (typical) above the C2 pin voltage. It supplies boosted voltage to VIN1 and/or VIN2 to ensure adequate base drive for high-side NPN switches in buck, ZETA, or single-inductor inverting topologies. When unused, C3 must be tied to GND to disable it and reduce quiescent current.
What is the purpose of the anti-phase switching feature in the LT8471EUFD#TRPBF?
The LT8471EUFD#TRPBF automatically operates its two primary channels ~180° out-of-phase to reduce RMS current stress and peak-to-peak ripple on the input capacitor. This minimizes required input capacitance, lowers EMI, and improves thermal performance-especially critical in high-current, space-constrained applications like industrial power modules.
Can the LT8471EUFD#TRPBF generate both positive and negative outputs simultaneously?
Yes, the LT8471EUFD#TRPBF can generate simultaneous positive and negative outputs-for example, +5V and –5V-from a single 6V–32V input. This is achieved by configuring Channel 1 as a buck converter and Channel 2 as an inverting converter, using independent feedback networks and leveraging the device's dual-error-amplifier architecture and separate PG outputs.
What are the thermal limitations and protections built into the LT8471EUFD#TRPBF?
The LT8471EUFD#TRPBF includes thermal shutdown that activates at ~164°C junction temperature and releases at ~162.5°C, providing hysteresis to prevent oscillation. Its 28-lead QFN package features an exposed thermal pad (Pin 29) that must be soldered to PCB ground for effective heat dissipation (θJA = 44°C/W). Derating is recommended above 125°C junction temperature per datasheet specifications.
