Product details
Overview
LT8570HMS8E#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 2.55V–40V input range - enabling compact high-voltage bias supplies for TFT-LCD and VFD displays.
For engineers reviewing the LT8570HMS8E#PBF datasheet, LT8570HMS8E#PBF pinout, LT8570HMS8E#PBF application, or LT8570HMS8E#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.5A switch current limit, MSOP-8 package with exposed thermal pad, UVLO programmability via SHDN pin, and compatibility with high-side NPN switch configurations requiring low VCE(SAT) (250mV @ 0.4A).
Technical Context
The LT8570HMS8E#PBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control with internal slope compensation to prevent subharmonic oscillation above 50% duty cycle. Its dual-feedback architecture (FBX pin supports ±1.204V/±3mV reference modes) enables seamless reconfiguration between noninverting (boost/SEPIC) and inverting topologies without external component changes.
It integrates frequency foldback during soft-start (reducing fOSC to 1/6 nominal), a high-gain SHDN pin tolerant of slow-ramping enable signals, and thermal shutdown at ~165°C. The VC pin provides direct access to the error amplifier output for custom loop compensation using RC networks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switch Voltage Rating | 65V - supports output voltages up to 60V in boost/SEPIC, enabling high-bias rails for display drivers. |
| Switch Current Limit | 0.5A (LT8570 variant) - sets maximum peak inductor current; determines power delivery capability in continuous conduction mode. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.55V to 40V - accommodates wide-input industrial and automotive supply rails, including 12V/24V systems with transients. |
| Switching Frequency Range | 200kHz to 1.5MHz - adjustable via RT resistor or external SYNC clock; higher frequencies allow smaller magnetics and faster transient response. |
| VCE(SAT) @ Rated Current | 250mV @ 0.4A - low saturation voltage minimizes conduction loss and improves efficiency in high-current boost stages. |
| Operating Junction Temp | –40°C to +150°C - H-grade qualification ensures reliability in under-hood, industrial, and high-ambient environments. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.204V (noninverting) / 3mV (inverting) - dual-mode FBX pin enables single-part support for both positive and negative output configurations. |
Pinout & Package
LT8570HMS8E#PBF uses the MS8E package: 8-lead plastic MSOP with exposed thermal pad (Pin 9 = GND). Thermal resistance θJA = 35–40°C/W. Exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FBX (Pin 1) | Positive/Negative Feedback Input | Accepts either 1.204V reference (boost/SEPIC) or 3mV reference (inverting); sets output voltage via single resistor RFBX. |
| VC (Pin 2) | Error Amplifier Output | Provides access to compensation node; requires external RC network to stabilize voltage loop across load/line variations. |
| VIN (Pin 3) | Main Power Input | Supplies internal circuitry and switch driver; requires local 0.22–1µF ceramic bypass capacitor near pin. |
| SW (Pin 4) | Internal NPN Switch Collector | High-voltage switching node; must be routed with minimal trace area to reduce EMI and parasitic inductance. |
| SHDN (Pin 5) | Enable/Shutdown Control | High-gain input accepts slow-rising signals; 1.21–1.40V hysteresis enables programmable UVLO using resistor divider from VIN. |
| RT (Pin 6) | Oscillator Timing Input | Resistor-to-ground sets free-running frequency; also accepts external SYNC signal when driven <0.4V (free-run) or >1.3V (sync mode). |
| SS (Pin 7) | Soft-Start Capacitor Node | Charged by internal 280kΩ current source to ~2.1V; external capacitor controls ramp rate and inrush current limiting. |
| SYNC (Pin 8) | External Clock Input | Accepts TTL/CMOS clock (35–65% duty cycle); synchronizes switching to system clock to eliminate beat frequencies. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-Topology Flexibility | Single IC supports boost, SEPIC, and inverting converters - reduces BOM count and design time for multi-rail bias generation. |
| Programmable UVLO | SHDN pin allows user-defined undervoltage lockout threshold using external resistor divider - critical for brown-out protection in 12V/24V systems. |
| Frequency Foldback During Start-Up | Reduces switching frequency to 1/6 nominal when FBX is between 300mV–920mV - improves controllability and limits inrush during soft-start. |
| Thermally Enhanced MSOP | Exposed pad in MS8E package delivers θJA ≤ 40°C/W - enables 1W+ power dissipation without heatsink in space-constrained layouts. |
| Robust Switch Protection | Integrated current limit (0.5A) and thermal shutdown (~165°C) protect both IC and external components during overload or short-circuit events. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DC/DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3787EMSE#PBF | Higher 40V input, 10A external MOSFET drive, no integrated switch - requires external FETs and more external components. | Targeted at high-current (>2A) synchronous buck-boost designs; not suitable for low-component-count bias supplies. | Select LTC3787EMSE#PBF only when >1A output current or synchronous rectification is required; LT8570HMS8E#PBF offers lower BOM cost and smaller footprint for ≤500mA applications. |
| LT3573EDD#PBF | Lower 40V switch rating, 0.35A current limit, fixed 1.2MHz frequency - lacks RT/SYNC adjustability and dual-mode FBX. | Optimized for fixed-frequency, low-EMI boost applications; cannot configure as SEPIC or inverting without additional components. | Choose LT3573EDD#PBF for simple 5V→12V boost where topology flexibility and programmable frequency are unnecessary; LT8570HMS8E#PBF adds design reuse across multiple rail types. |
Compared with LTC3787EMSE#PBF and LT3573EDD#PBF, the LT8570HMS8E#PBF uniquely combines integrated 65V/0.5A switching, triple-topology support, and programmable UVLO in an MSOP-8 package - making it optimal for space-constrained, multi-rail bias generation where component count and layout simplicity are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage achievable with LT8570HMS8E#PBF in boost configuration?
The LT8570HMS8E#PBF supports output voltages up to 60V in boost topology, constrained by its 65V switch rating and practical considerations like diode reverse voltage and capacitor derating. At 40V input and 1.5MHz switching, typical designs achieve stable 48V–55V outputs with <2% regulation error across load and temperature. Always verify layout parasitics and thermal margin when operating near absolute maximum ratings.
Can LT8570HMS8E#PBF be used in SEPIC topology with coupled inductors?
Yes - the LT8570HMS8E#PBF is explicitly validated for SEPIC operation with coupled or uncoupled inductors, as shown in Figure 1 of the datasheet. Coupled inductors reduce size and ripple but require correct phasing (dotted ends connected per schematic); uncoupled versions offer greater layout flexibility. Both configurations maintain inherent input-output isolation and safe shutdown behavior.
How does the SHDN pin enable programmable undervoltage lockout on LT8570HMS8E#PBF?
The SHDN pin on LT8570HMS8E#PBF has a precise 1.21V–1.40V hysteresis window. By connecting a resistor divider from VIN to SHDN, designers set the exact turn-on threshold (e.g., 10kΩ + 4.99kΩ yields ~12.5V UVLO for 12V systems). This eliminates external supervisor ICs and allows adaptive brown-out protection aligned with system-level power sequencing requirements.
What is the purpose of the FBX pin's dual-reference capability in LT8570HMS8E#PBF?
The FBX pin on LT8570HMS8E#PBF accepts either +1.204V (for boost/SEPIC) or –3mV (for inverting) reference voltages - enabling one IC to regulate both positive and negative outputs by simply changing the RFBX connection polarity. This eliminates separate part numbers and simplifies inventory while preserving tight regulation (<1.5% total error) in both modes.
Does LT8570HMS8E#PBF require external compensation components?
Yes - the LT8570HMS8E#PBF requires external compensation on the VC pin: typically a series RC network (e.g., 6.19kΩ + 1nF) in parallel with a small capacitor (e.g., 47pF) to ground. This stabilizes the voltage loop against load transients and ensures phase margin >45°; compensation values depend on inductor value, output capacitance, and operating point.
