Product details
Overview
LT8603IUJ#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a quad-output automotive-grade power management IC integrating two 42V synchronous buck regulators (Ch1/Ch2), one 5.5V low-input buck regulator (Ch3), and a boost controller (Ch4). It delivers regulated outputs of 5V/1.5A, 3.3V/2.5A, 1.2V/1.8A, and 8V (boost) with cold-crank tolerance down to 2V input, supporting automotive stop-start and last-gasp CPU hold-up.
For engineers reviewing the LT8603IUJ#TRPBF datasheet, LT8603IUJ#TRPBF pinout, LT8603IUJ#TRPBF application, or LT8603IUJ#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include AEC-Q100 qualification, 28µA quiescent current in Burst Mode®, independent channel power-good indicators (PG1–PG4), programmable power-on reset (CPOR), and 40-lead 6mm × 6mm QFN package with exposed thermal pad.
Technical Context
The LT8603IUJ#TRPBF implements four independent regulation loops: Ch1/Ch2 use cycle-by-cycle current limiting with 240mΩ/150mΩ top-FET RDS(ON) and 170mΩ/100mΩ bottom-FET RDS(ON); Ch3 employs PMOS/NMOS switching with 150mΩ/100mΩ RDS(ON); Ch4 uses external MOSFETs controlled via GATE4 with 2.5Ω high-side and 1.25Ω low-side gate drive impedance. All channels support soft-start via TRKSS1/TRKSS2/RUN3/CPOR.
Its architecture enables flexible system-level configurations: boost output can supply VIN to Ch1/Ch2 during cold crank (VBATT < VOUT), or Ch4 can operate as SEPIC for fourth regulated output; EN/UVLO (1.2V threshold), SYNC (0.25–2.2MHz), and FSEL4A/FSEL4B provide precise sequencing, frequency control, and boost enable/disable logic without external components.

Pinout & Package
LT8603IUJ#TRPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 40-lead 6mm × 6mm plastic QFN package (UJ) with exposed pad (Pin 41) requiring solder connection to PCB ground for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad-output automotive power management applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT8602IUJ#TRPBF | Triple-output (no boost controller); lacks Ch4, PG4, ISP4/ISN4, GATE4 - smaller footprint but no cold-crank boost capability. | Suitable only where four independent rails are not required; cannot sustain VOUT > VBATT during cold crank. | Select when system uses external boost or operates above 6V minimum input; saves board space and BOM cost. |
| MPQ4436-AEC1 | Triple 42V buck (no boost); 3.5A/2.5A/1.5A outputs; no PG indicators, no CPOR/RST, no TRKSS - simpler feature set. | Lacks power sequencing, POR, and cold-crank boost - requires external circuitry for automotive robustness. | Choose for cost-sensitive applications with less stringent sequencing or cold-crank requirements. |
Compared with LT8602IUJ#TRPBF and MPQ4436-AEC1, the LT8603IUJ#TRPBF uniquely integrates a dedicated boost controller with reverse-battery tolerance and four independent power-good signals - enabling single-chip cold-crank survival and full-system sequencing without external components.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LT8603IUJ#TRPBF's high-voltage buck channels?
The LT8603IUJ#TRPBF's PVIN1 and PVIN2 pins support an absolute maximum input voltage of 42V, with recommended operating range from 3.0V to 42V. This enables direct connection to automotive battery rails and tolerance of load-dump transients up to ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a. The device also withstands reverse-battery conditions down to –42V on ISP4/ISN4, protecting the boost controller during installation errors.
How does LT8603IUJ#TRPBF achieve cold-crank operation below 3V input?
The LT8603IUJ#TRPBF achieves cold-crank operation by using its integrated boost controller (Channel 4) to generate a stable intermediate rail (e.g., 8V) that powers PVIN1 and PVIN2 when battery voltage drops to 2V. This ensures the high-voltage buck regulators remain functional and continue delivering 5V and 3.3V outputs even during engine cranking, as confirmed in the "Response to a Cold Crank" waveform (Fig TA01b).
Can LT8603IUJ#TRPBF be configured for four independent regulated outputs?
Yes - the LT8603IUJ#TRPBF supports four regulated outputs by configuring Channel 4 as a SEPIC converter or by powering it from one of the buck outputs (e.g., Ch1 5V → Ch4 boost → 12V). In this mode, Ch1, Ch2, Ch3, and Ch4 each deliver independently regulated voltages across their specified input ranges, validated in the "Flexible Power Supply System" application note.
What is the purpose of the TRKSS1 and TRKSS2 pins on LT8603IUJ#TRPBF?
The TRKSS1 and TRKSS2 pins on LT8603IUJ#TRPBF provide track/soft-start functionality for Channels 1 and 2. When pulled below 1V, they override the internal 1.0V feedback reference and force regulation to the TRKSS voltage instead. Connecting a capacitor from TRKSSx to ground programs a ~1ms soft-start ramp, enabling controlled voltage ramping and sequencing between rails.
Does LT8603IUJ#TRPBF include built-in power-on reset functionality?
Yes - the LT8603IUJ#TRPBF integrates a programmable power-on reset (POR) circuit. A capacitor (e.g., 1000pF) connected from CPOR (Pin 31) to ground sets the POR delay to 35.2ms (typical). Upon timeout, the open-drain RST (Pin 32) pin releases, signaling that all regulated outputs have stabilized - eliminating need for external reset ICs in automotive and industrial designs.
