Product details
Overview
LT8672HDDB#TRPBF 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 regulation voltage, 3V–42V operating range, and –40V reverse input tolerance-enabling cold-crank operation down to 3.2V in 12V automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the LT8672HDDB#TRPBF datasheet, LT8672HDDB#TRPBF pinout, LT8672HDDB#TRPBF application, or LT8672HDDB#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include ultrafast transient response (≤1.1µs turn-off), integrated auxiliary boost regulator (11V above DRAIN), power-good signaling, shutdown quiescent current ≤3.5µA, and compatibility with 100kHz/2VP-P AC ripple rectification.
Technical Context
The LT8672HDDB#TRPBF 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 threshold, ≤1.1µs delay) for sub-microsecond response to AC ripple transients up to 100kHz. Its integrated auxiliary boost regulator delivers regulated 11V gate drive referenced to DRAIN using a hysteretic 100mA current-limited switch.
It features bidirectional protection: SOURCE and EN/UVLO pins withstand –40V reverse transients; GATE is actively pulled to SOURCE during negative events to disable the external MOSFET; PG pin provides open-drain fault signaling for startup, AUX regulation failure, or prolonged fast-pull-up activation (>17µs).
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
LT8672HDDB#TRPBF uses a 10-lead 3mm × 2mm plastic DFN package with exposed pad (Pin 11), rated for –40°C to 150°C junction temperature and qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade H.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN/UVLO (1) | Enable and undervoltage lockout input | Shuts down controller and boost regulator when <1.21V; ties to DRAIN if unused. |
| GND (2) | No-function ground | Must be connected to system ground but carries no internal current path. |
| PG (3) | Open-drain power-good output | Pulls low during shutdown, AUX under-regulation, or >17µs fast-pull-up activation-signals MOSFET readiness. |
| GND (4) | Main internal ground reference | Primary ground return for all internal circuitry; tie directly to local GND plane. |
| NC (5) | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; may be grounded or left floating. |
| AUXSW (6) | Auxiliary boost regulator switch node | Drives external boost inductor; requires minimal PCB trace area for low EMI. |
| AUX (7) | Auxiliary boost output | Provides 11V gate drive above DRAIN; bypass with 1µF capacitor to DRAIN only. |
| DRAIN (8) | Input voltage sense and supply | Senses VBATT for regulation; powers internal circuitry; bypass with ≥4.7µF locally. |
| SOURCE (9) | MOSFET source sense and return | Sense node for SOURCE–DRAIN regulation; protected to –40V; no bypass cap >60nF allowed. |
| GATE (10) | External MOSFET gate driver output | Delivers ±300mA peak drive; regulates VGS to maintain 20mV forward drop. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 20mV forward regulation | Reduces minimum input voltage requirement by >300mV vs. Schottky diodes-enables use of simpler buck regulators during cold crank. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar active rectifier controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM74610-Q1 | Uses external N-FET with 15mV regulation; no integrated boost-requires separate 12V bias rail. | Lacks auxiliary boost regulator; unsuitable for 3V–5V input systems without auxiliary supply. | Prefer when bias rail is available and lower forward drop (15mV) is critical; not drop-in for LT8672HDDB#TRPBF layouts. |
| TPS43060 | Integrated 42V synchronous rectifier controller with 30mV regulation; no reverse voltage tolerance on SOURCE. | Rated only to –12V reverse input; requires external TVS for automotive reverse-battery protection. | Select for cost-sensitive non-automotive applications where –40V tolerance is unnecessary; different pinout and layout. |

FAQ
What is the maximum AC ripple frequency the LT8672HDDB#TRPBF can rectify?
The LT8672HDDB#TRPBF supports rectification of up to 100kHz AC ripple at 2VP-P amplitude and 50kHz at 6VP-P amplitude, as verified in the datasheet's Typical Performance Characteristics (Figure G09, G14). This capability meets ISO16750-2 and LV124 E-13 automotive ripple immunity requirements. The fast pull-up/pull-down comparators enable sub-microsecond MOSFET switching, minimizing body-diode conduction time and associated power loss during high-frequency ripple events. The LT8672HDDB#TRPBF achieves this without external compensation or loop tuning.
Does the LT8672HDDB#TRPBF require an external gate driver?
No, the LT8672HDDB#TRPBF integrates a high-current gate driver capable of ±300mA peak sink/source, eliminating the need for an external driver. It directly controls standard and logic-level N-channel MOSFETs with gate thresholds from 1V to 3V across its full 3V–42V input range. The driver's 10.2–11.8V regulated output (referenced to DRAIN) ensures full enhancement even at low input voltages. The LT8672HDDB#TRPBF's gate drive timing-1.7µs turn-on and 0.6µs turn-off delays-is optimized for fast ripple rectification without external components.
How does the LT8672HDDB#TRPBF handle reverse battery conditions?
The LT8672HDDB#TRPBF withstands –40V on SOURCE and EN/UVLO pins and actively protects the system by pulling GATE to SOURCE when SOURCE goes negative-turning off the external MOSFET and isolating DRAIN from the reverse source. Unlike passive solutions, it requires no external TVS diodes for basic reverse-battery survival. During reverse events, the IC enters shutdown with ≤3.5µA quiescent current. The LT8672HDDB#TRPBF's reverse tolerance is specified and tested per AEC-Q100 stress conditions, making it suitable for direct integration into automotive front-end protection circuits.
What is the purpose of the PG (Power Good) pin on the LT8672HDDB#TRPBF?
The PG pin on the LT8672HDDB#TRPBF is an open-drain output that signals MOSFET readiness: it goes high-impedance when the external FET is fully controlled and no faults exist. It pulls low during shutdown, if AUX voltage fails to regulate during startup, or if the fast pull-up path remains active >17µs-indicating potential overcurrent or instability. Designers use PG to enable downstream loads only after safe gate drive is established, preventing inrush or overload. The LT8672HDDB#TRPBF's PG behavior is internally monitored and requires no external configuration.
Can the LT8672HDDB#TRPBF operate without the auxiliary boost regulator enabled?
No-the auxiliary boost regulator is integral to LT8672HDDB#TRPBF operation and cannot be disabled. It generates the 11V gate drive referenced to DRAIN, which is essential for fully enhancing logic-level N-MOSFETs across the entire 3V–42V input range. The boost circuit automatically shuts down when AUX reaches regulation, minimizing quiescent current. Attempting to bypass or disable AUX will prevent proper gate drive and cause the LT8672HDDB#TRPBF to fail functional operation. All recommended layouts and applications assume active AUX regulation.
