Product details
Overview
LT8495IUF#PBF from Analog Devices is a monolithic SEPIC/boost/flyback DC/DC controller with integrated 2A/70V NPN power switch, programmable POR and watchdog timer, 9µA quiescent current in active operation, and dual supply inputs (VIN/BIAS) enabling operation down to ~1V after startup. It targets battery-powered automotive ECU and portable industrial supplies requiring ultra-low IQ and fault-tolerant reset supervision.
For engineers reviewing the LT8495IUF#PBF datasheet, LT8495IUF#PBF pinout, LT8495IUF#PBF application, or LT8495IUF#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 250kHz–1.5MHz adjustable switching frequency, <10mV output ripple in Burst Mode, independent CPOR/CWDT capacitor-programmed reset/watchdog timing, FMEA-fault-tolerant TSSOP/QFN package, and dual-supply efficiency optimization across 1V–60V input range.
Technical Context
The LT8495IUF#PBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control with quadratic ramp compensation, frequency foldback below 1V FB, and soft-start via external SS capacitor charged by a 256k internal resistor. Its power switch driver autonomously selects VIN or BIAS as base drive source based on real-time voltage comparison (2.4V threshold, 0.2V hysteresis), enabling seamless transition between supplies.
Reset and watchdog functions operate independently: RSTIN compares against 1.1V reference to trigger RST assertion with 8–60µs delay; CPOR sets tRST (8.5–11.85ms); CWDT sets tWDU (14.9–20.9ms) and tWDL (580–812µs). All three enable pins (SWEN/WDE/RSTIN) feature 1V rising threshold with 30mV hysteresis and sub-1µA leakage at 1.2V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switch Rating | 70V VCE, 2.55A peak current limit at min duty cycle - supports 60V SEPIC and 32V boost topologies with ride-through to 60V. |
| Quiescent Current | 9µA from VIN at 12VIN→5VOUT; 0.3µA shutdown - extends battery life in always-on automotive modules. |
| Output Ripple | <10mV typical in Burst Mode - eliminates need for post-regulation LDO in noise-sensitive analog/sensor rails. |
| Switching Frequency | 250kHz–1.5MHz via RT resistor - enables compact magnetics while avoiding AM band interference. |
| Feedback Voltage | 1.202V ±24mV over –40°C to 125°C - ensures stable regulation across automotive temperature range. |
| Reset Timeout | 8.5–11.85ms via CPOR capacitor - provides sufficient hold-off for microcontroller initialization sequences. |
| Watchdog Window | tWDL = 580–812µs / tWDU = 14.9–20.9ms via CWDT capacitor - configurable for diverse MCU watchdog response requirements. |
Pinout & Package
LT8495IUF#PBF uses a 20-lead (4mm × 4mm) plastic QFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 21 = GND). The package supports low θJA = 47°C/W and requires soldering of the exposed pad to PCB ground for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SS (Pin 1) | Soft-Start Control | Charged by 256k internal resistor to ~2.1V; external capacitor sets ramp rate for controlled inrush current. |
| RT (Pin 2) | Oscillator Frequency Set | Resistor to GND programs switching frequency; low capacitance required to avoid jitter. |
| GND (Pins 3,4,11,13,14,15,21) | Power & Signal Ground | Multiple dedicated GND pins + exposed pad minimize ground impedance and improve EMI performance. |
| RSTIN (Pin 5) | Reset Input Reference | Compares against 1.1V internal reference; resistor divider sets UVLO threshold for system-level brownout detection. |
| SWEN (Pin 6) | Switch Enable Detect | 1V rising threshold with 30mV hysteresis; enables/disables regulator and initiates soft-start sequence. |
| WDE (Pin 7) | Watchdog Timer Enable | Drives >1.1V to activate watchdog; low state disables WDO output, placing it in high-impedance state. |
| WDO (Pin 8) | Watchdog Output | Active-low open-drain output pulses low on timeout; duration set by CPOR capacitor. |
| WDI (Pin 9) | Watchdog Input | Accepts negative-edge-triggered pulses from MCU; missing edges within tWDL/tWDU window assert WDO. |
| VIN (Pin 10) | Main Supply Input | Accepts up to 60V; powers internal circuitry and supplies base current when VIN < BIAS. |
| SW (Pin 12) | Switch Collector | Connects to collector of internal 2A/70V NPN switch; minimal trace area required to reduce EMI. |
| BIAS (Pin 16) | Secondary Supply Input | Accepts up to 60V; supplies base current when BIAS < VIN; enables operation below 2.5V VIN after startup. |
| FB (Pin 17) | Output Voltage Feedback | Regulated to 1.202V; resistor divider sets output voltage; 0.1–20nA bias current minimizes divider error. |
| CPOR (Pin 18) | Reset Delay Programming | Capacitor to GND sets tRST (8.5–11.85ms); determines minimum RST assertion time after power-up or fault. |
| CWDT (Pin 19) | Watchdog Timing Programming | Capacitor to GND sets tWDL/tWDU window boundaries; enables precise MCU activity monitoring. |
| RST (Pin 20) | Active-Low Reset Output | Open-drain output asserted low during POR, RSTIN undervoltage, or watchdog timeout; sinks 1.25mA. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-Ripple Burst Mode | Maintains <10mV output ripple at light loads while reducing IQ to <9µA - eliminates need for secondary filtering in portable systems. |
| Dual-Supply Operation | Automatically selects lower-voltage supply (VIN or BIAS) for NPN base drive - extends runtime when main battery drops below 2.5V. |
| FMEA-Fault-Tolerant Design | Adjacent pin shorts or opens cannot raise output above programmed value - meets ASIL-B functional safety requirements for automotive ECUs. |
| Programmable UVLO | Separate SWEN and RSTIN resistor dividers enable independent input monitoring and system reset thresholds - simplifies multi-rail power sequencing. |
| Integrated Power Switch | 2A/70V NPN switch with 340mV VCE(sat) at 1.2A - reduces BOM count and layout complexity vs. external MOSFET solutions. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the LT8495IUF#PBF in SEPIC topology?
The LT8495IUF#PBF supports up to 60V input voltage in SEPIC topology, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and confirmed in the Applications Information section. This rating applies regardless of whether power is sourced from VIN or BIAS pins, and remains valid across the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range.
How does the LT8495IUF#PBF achieve 0.3µA shutdown current?
The LT8495IUF#PBF achieves 0.3µA shutdown current when SWEN, WDE, and RSTIN are all held low, disabling all internal circuitry including the oscillator, error amplifier, and power switch driver. This ultra-low state is measured with VIN and BIAS at 0V, and is guaranteed across temperature per the Electrical Characteristics table.
Can the LT8495IUF#PBF operate with VIN below 2.5V after startup?
Yes, the LT8495IUF#PBF can operate with VIN as low as ~1V after startup by drawing base drive current from the BIAS pin. This is enabled by the internal supply select logic that compares VIN and BIAS voltages and automatically routes the lower-voltage supply to the NPN switch driver, extending battery life in portable applications.
What is the purpose of the NC pins on the LT8495IUF#PBF QFN package?
The NC pins (Pins 4, 9, 17, 19) on the LT8495IUF#PBF QFN package are not connected to internal circuitry and must be left floating to ensure FMEA fault tolerance. Shorting or connecting these pins may compromise the device's ability to maintain safe output voltage during adjacent pin failures, as documented in the Pin Functions section.
How is the watchdog timeout period adjusted on the LT8495IUF#PBF?
The watchdog timeout period on the LT8495IUF#PBF is adjusted using an external capacitor on the CWDT pin (Pin 19). A 1nF capacitor sets tWDU = 14.9–20.9ms and tWDL = 580–812µs; values scale linearly with capacitance per the Typical Performance Characteristics graphs. The exact timing is guaranteed only for the specified capacitor value.
