Product details
Overview
LT8570HDD#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 65V, 0.5A monolithic PWM DC/DC converter IC supporting boost, SEPIC, and inverting topologies. It features adjustable 200kHz–1.5MHz switching frequency, integrated soft-start, synchronization capability, and user-configurable undervoltage lockout. Designed for high-reliability bias supplies in TFT-LCD and VFD displays operating across –40°C to 150°C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the LT8570HDD#PBF datasheet, LT8570HDD#PBF pinout, LT8570HDD#PBF application, or LT8570HDD#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 65V switch rating, 0.5A current limit, thermal grade (H-grade), DFN-8 (3mm × 3mm) package with exposed pad, and compatibility with boost/SEPIC/inverting configurations requiring stable high-voltage bias generation.
Technical Context
The LT8570HDD#PBF employs constant-frequency current-mode control with internal slope compensation to ensure stability at duty cycles >50%. Its dual-amplifier FBX architecture enables seamless reconfiguration between noninverting (boost/SEPIC) and inverting topologies by changing external resistor connections - no change to IC or layout required.
It integrates frequency foldback during soft-start and low-VCE(SAT) (250mV @ 0.4A) NPN power switch with thermal shutdown (~165°C) and precise SHDN pin thresholds (1.21V–1.40V) enabling programmable UVLO via external resistor divider. The RT pin sets oscillator frequency via external resistor; SYNC pin accepts external clock signals (1.3V high, <0.4V low).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switch Voltage Rating | 65V - supports input-to-output voltage differentials up to 65V, enabling use in 40V-input systems generating 12V, ±15V, or higher outputs. |
| Switch Current Limit | 0.5A (typical at 50% duty cycle) - defines maximum peak inductor current; limits stress on external components and enables predictable power stage sizing. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.55V to 40V - accommodates wide industrial input rails including 3.3V, 5V, 12V, 24V, and 36V battery or bus supplies. |
| Switching Frequency Range | 200kHz to 1.5MHz - allows optimization of size vs. efficiency: higher frequencies enable smaller inductors/capacitors; lower frequencies improve light-load efficiency. |
| Junction Temperature Range | –40°C to +150°C (H-grade) - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial motor drives, and high-ambient lighting applications where extended thermal margin is critical. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 1.204V (noninverting) or 3mV (inverting) - enables precise output regulation with single-resistor feedback network; eliminates need for external reference or divider scaling. |
| Soft-Start Charging Current | 6µA (typical) - determines ramp rate of SS pin voltage when paired with external capacitor; provides controlled inrush current limiting during startup. |
Pinout & Package
LT8570HDD#PBF is housed in an 8-lead, 3mm × 3mm plastic DFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 9 = GND). The thermally enhanced construction delivers θJA = 43°C/W and requires soldering of the exposed pad to PCB ground plane for reliable thermal performance and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FBX (Pin 1) | Positive/Negative Feedback Input | Configures topology: pulled to 1.204V for boost/SEPIC (noninverting), or to 3mV for inverting; sets output voltage via single resistor RFBX. |
| VC (Pin 2) | Error Amplifier Output | Connects external RC compensation network; directly controls PWM comparator threshold to stabilize voltage loop. |
| VIN (Pin 3) | Main Input Supply | Accepts 2.55V–40V input; must be locally bypassed with low-ESR ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| SW (Pin 4) | Switch Collector Node | Drives external inductor/diode; high di/dt node - minimize trace area to reduce EMI and parasitic inductance. |
| SHDN (Pin 5) | Enable/Shutdown Control | High-threshold (1.40V) activation with 40mV hysteresis; accepts slow-rising inputs; enables programmable UVLO using resistor divider from VIN. |
| RT (Pin 6) | Oscillator Timing Input | Resistor-to-ground sets free-running frequency; supports synchronization when driven externally via SYNC pin. |
| SS (Pin 7) | Soft-Start Control | Charged by internal 280kΩ current source to ~2.1V; external capacitor sets startup time and inrush current profile. |
| SYNC (Pin 8) | External Clock Input | Accepts TTL/CMOS-compatible clock (1.3V high, <0.4V low); overrides internal oscillator; enables system-level clock domain alignment. |
| GND (Pin 9, Exposed Pad) | Power & Signal Ground | Thermal and electrical ground reference; must be soldered to large PCB copper area for thermal dissipation and noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-Topology Flexibility | Single IC supports boost, SEPIC, and inverting configurations via external component reconnection - reduces BOM count and design reuse effort. |
| 65V Integrated NPN Switch | Eliminates need for external high-voltage switch; simplifies layout and improves reliability in high-input-voltage bias supplies. |
| H-Temperature Grade (–40°C to +150°C) | Guaranteed operation over full junction range - suitable for under-hood, industrial control, and high-ambient lighting without derating. |
| Synchronizable Switching Frequency | Enables noise-sensitive system integration (e.g., GPS receivers, audio subsystems) by aligning switching harmonics to fixed clock domains. |
| Programmable Undervoltage Lockout | SHDN pin accepts resistor divider from VIN - allows precise turn-on threshold setting independent of internal reference. |
| Integrated Soft-Start with Foldback | Prevents output overshoot and inrush stress; frequency foldback during startup improves controllability at low FBX voltages. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage achievable with LT8570HDD#PBF in boost configuration?
The LT8570HDD#PBF does not impose a hard limit on output voltage beyond its 65V switch rating and practical component constraints. In boost mode, VOUT is limited by the breakdown voltage of external diode and output capacitor, and by duty cycle constraints (max ~75% at 1.5MHz). With proper component selection, outputs up to 60V are achievable while maintaining safe margin below the 65V SW pin rating. Always verify VSW = VOUT + VF − VCE(SAT) remains ≤65V in your LT8570HDD#PBF design.
Can LT8570HDD#PBF be used in SEPIC topology with coupled inductors?
Yes, LT8570HDD#PBF supports SEPIC operation with either coupled or uncoupled inductors. When using coupled inductors, correct phasing must be observed per Figure 1 in the datasheet to ensure proper magnetic coupling and ripple cancellation. Coupled inductors reduce board area and can improve efficiency at light loads, but require careful winding polarity verification. The LT8570HDD#PBF's current-mode control and slope compensation ensure stable operation regardless of inductor type.
How is undervoltage lockout (UVLO) configured on LT8570HDD#PBF?
UVLO on LT8570HDD#PBF is implemented via the SHDN pin: connect a resistor divider from VIN to GND, with the midpoint tied to SHDN. The part activates when SHDN voltage exceeds 1.40V (typical) and deactivates below 1.21V (typical), providing 40mV hysteresis. For example, with VIN = 24V, use R1 = 1.21MΩ from VIN to SHDN and R2 = 100kΩ from SHDN to GND to set turn-on at ~24V and turn-off at ~22.2V. This method allows precise, temperature-stable UVLO thresholds without external comparators.
What is the purpose of the FBX pin's dual-reference architecture in LT8570HDD#PBF?
The FBX pin in LT8570HDD#PBF provides two internal reference points - 1.204V for noninverting topologies (boost/SEPIC) and 3mV for inverting topologies - enabling topology reconfiguration without changing the IC. When RFBX connects VOUT to FBX, the amplifier selection is automatic: positive feedback engages A1 for boost/SEPIC; negative feedback engages A2 for inverting. This eliminates external op-amps or level-shifters and ensures accurate regulation across all supported configurations using a single feedback resistor.
Does LT8570HDD#PBF require external compensation components?
Yes, LT8570HDD#PBF requires external compensation on the VC pin: a series RC network (e.g., 10kΩ + 1nF) in parallel with a small capacitor (e.g., 47pF) from VC to GND. This network stabilizes the voltage loop by controlling phase/gain margins. Compensation values depend on topology, output voltage, and load; typical starting points are RC = 10kΩ, CSERIES = 1nF, CPARALLEL = 47pF. Evaluation with load transients is recommended - the LT8570HDD#PBF datasheet provides detailed methodology and Bode plot guidance.
