Product details
Overview
LT8672EDDB#TRMPBF from Analog Devices is an AEC-Q100 qualified active rectifier controller for automotive reverse battery protection and input ripple rectification. It drives an external N-channel MOSFET to replace Schottky diodes, delivering 20mV forward drop, 3V–42V input range, and 100kHz AC ripple rectification capability up to 2VP-P - enabling cold-crank operation down to 3.2V in ECU power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LT8672EDDB#TRMPBF datasheet, LT8672EDDB#TRMPBF pinout, LT8672EDDB#TRMPBF application, or LT8672EDDB#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse input protection to –40V, ultra-low 20µA operating quiescent current, integrated auxiliary boost regulator (11V above DRAIN), PG fault signaling, and compatibility with logic-level MOSFETs in compact 3mm × 2mm DFN packaging.
Technical Context
The LT8672EDDB#TRMPBF implements a dual-loop control architecture: a precision 20mV SOURCE–DRAIN regulation loop for steady-state conduction and independent fast pull-up/pull-down comparators (75mV/–60mV thresholds) for transient response to AC ripple up to 100kHz. Its integrated auxiliary boost regulator delivers regulated 11V gate drive referenced to DRAIN using a hysteretic 100mA current-limited switch driving an external inductor.
Protection logic includes EN/UVLO with 1.21V threshold and 70mV hysteresis, open-drain PG output asserting low during shutdown, AUX under-regulation, or FPU timeout (>17µs), and robust –40V tolerance on SOURCE/EN pins. The device operates across –40°C to 125°C junction temperature and meets AEC-Q100 Grade E requirements.
Key Specifications

| Forward Regulation Voltage | 20mV typical - reduces minimum input voltage requirement by ~0.35V vs. Schottky diode, easing cold-crank headroom for buck regulators. |
| Quiescent Current | 20µA typical in operation; 3.5µA in shutdown - extends always-on system battery life in vehicle off-mode. |
| AC Ripple Handling | Rectifies 2VP-P up to 100kHz - meets ISO16750-2 and LV124 ripple immunity requirements for modern ECUs. |
| AUX Boost Output | 11V above DRAIN, ±0.8V regulation - ensures full enhancement of logic-level N-MOSFETs across full input range without external bias. |
| Gate Drive Capability | –50mA pull-up / 300mA pull-down - achieves <3.1µs turn-on and <1.1µs turn-off with 10nF gate capacitance, minimizing body diode conduction time. |
| EN/UVLO Threshold | 1.21V with 70mV hysteresis - allows precise undervoltage lockout programming via resistive divider for system brown-out prevention. |
Pinout & Package
LT8672EDDB#TRMPBF uses a 10-lead, 3mm × 2mm plastic DFN package with exposed pad (Pin 11), rated for –40°C to 125°C operation. Thermal resistance θJA = 76°C/W; exposed pad must be shorted to GND or left floating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN/UVLO (1) | Enable and undervoltage lockout input | Shuts down controller and boost regulator when below 1.21V; draws <0.1µA - enables programmable system-level brown-out protection. |
| GND (2) | No-function ground | Internal no-connect; recommended to tie to PCB ground plane for mechanical stability and EMI reduction. |
| PG (3) | Open-drain power good indicator | Pulls low if shutdown active, AUX not regulated, or fast pull-up active >17µs - provides fault-aware load enable signal for downstream circuitry. |
| GND (4) | Power and signal ground reference | Primary ground return for all internal circuitry; must connect directly to local GND plane with low-inductance path. |
| NC (5) | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; may be tied to GND or left floating per layout requirements. |
| AUXSW (6) | Auxiliary boost regulator switch node | Drives external inductor between this pin and DRAIN; requires minimal PCB trace area to limit EMI and switching losses. |
| AUX (7) | Boost regulator output | Provides 11V gate drive referenced to DRAIN; requires 1µF ceramic capacitor to DRAIN, placed adjacent to IC. |
| DRAIN (8) | Input voltage sense and supply rail | Senses input for regulation and powers internal circuitry; must be bypassed with ≥4.7µF low-ESR capacitor near IC. |
| SOURCE (9) | MOSFET source sensing and return | Reference for SOURCE–DRAIN regulation and fast pull-down; supports –40V reverse tolerance - requires direct connection to MOSFET source. |
| GATE (10) | Active gate driver output | Drives external N-MOSFET gate; capable of –50mA/300mA peak current - eliminates need for external gate driver in most applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar active rectifier controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC4370CMS#PBF | Single-channel ideal diode controller with 30mV dropout, no integrated boost regulator - requires external gate bias supply. | Designed for OR-ing two supplies; lacks reverse-input protection and AC ripple rectification capability. | Choose LTC4370CMS#PBF only when dual-supply redundancy is required and reverse battery survival is handled externally. |
| TPS26600RGZR | Integrated eFuse with 42V abs max, 100mV current-sense based regulation, no AC ripple support - lacks fast transient comparator paths. | Focuses on overcurrent/overvoltage protection; not optimized for high-frequency rectification or cold-crank voltage retention. | Choose TPS26600RGZR when precise current limiting and fault logging are prioritized over ripple rejection and ultra-low dropout. |
Compared with LTC4370CMS#PBF and TPS26600RGZR, the LT8672EDDB#TRMPBF uniquely combines 20mV regulation, integrated boost, –40V reverse tolerance, and 100kHz ripple rectification - making it the only option suitable for automotive ECU front-end protection where cold-crank headroom and ISO16750 compliance are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum AC ripple frequency the LT8672EDDB#TRMPBF can rectify, and under what conditions?
The LT8672EDDB#TRMPBF rectifies up to 100kHz AC ripple when amplitude is ≤2VP-P, and up to 50kHz when amplitude is ≤6VP-P - verified per Electrical Characteristics table and Typical Performance curves. This capability relies on its fast pull-up/pull-down comparators and 300mA gate drive, enabling sub-microsecond MOSFET switching essential for ISO16750-2 compliance in automotive ECUs.
How does the LT8672EDDB#TRMPBF achieve 20mV forward regulation without external components?
The LT8672EDDB#TRMPBF achieves 20mV SOURCE–DRAIN regulation using an internal precision amplifier that continuously compares VSOURCE–VDRAIN against a trimmed 20mV reference and adjusts GATE drive accordingly. No external resistors or compensation networks are needed - the regulation loop is fully integrated and factory-calibrated, ensuring consistent performance across temperature and process variation.
Does the LT8672EDDB#TRMPBF require an external boost inductor, and what are the critical layout requirements?
Yes, the LT8672EDDB#TRMPBF requires an external inductor between AUXSW and DRAIN pins to implement its auxiliary boost regulator. Critical layout requirements include: placing the inductor adjacent to the IC, minimizing AUXSW trace length and loop area to reduce EMI, using a 1µF ceramic capacitor directly between AUX and DRAIN, and ensuring DRAIN has ≥4.7µF local bulk capacitance with low ESR - all specified in the Applications Information section.
What protection features does the LT8672EDDB#TRMPBF provide against reverse battery connection?
The LT8672EDDB#TRMPBF provides reverse battery protection via –40V absolute maximum rating on SOURCE and EN/UVLO pins, automatic gate pull-to-SOURCE during negative transients, and fast pull-down activation when VSOURCE–VDRAIN drops below –60mV. These features isolate the load and prevent reverse current flow, enabling survival of 14V reverse battery events without external TVS diodes - confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Operation sections.
Can the LT8672EDDB#TRMPBF be used without the PG (Power Good) pin, and what functionality is lost?
Yes, the LT8672EDDB#TRMPBF can operate without connecting the PG pin, as it is an open-drain status output with no effect on core regulation. However, omitting PG forfeits fault visibility: inability to detect shutdown state, AUX under-regulation during startup, or fast pull-up timeout (>17µs), which could lead to undetected MOSFET overload or delayed system recovery - PG is recommended for safety-critical automotive and industrial designs.
