Product details
Overview
LT8672IDDB#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 operating range, and 100kHz AC ripple rectification capability in a 10-lead 3mm × 2mm DFN package. Used in 12V automotive ECUs for cold-crank resilience and load-dump survival.
For engineers reviewing the LT8672IDDB#TRMPBF datasheet, LT8672IDDB#TRMPBF pinout, LT8672IDDB#TRMPBF application, or LT8672IDDB#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse input protection to –40V, ultrafast gate turn-on/turn-off timing (1.7µs/0.6µs), auxiliary boost regulator output (11V above DRAIN), power good signaling, and shutdown quiescent current of 3.5µA.
Technical Context
The LT8672IDDB#TRMPBF implements dual-loop control: a precision 20mV SOURCE–DRAIN regulation loop for steady-state conduction and fast pull-up/pull-down comparators (75mV/–60mV thresholds) for transient response up to 100kHz. Its integrated auxiliary boost regulator delivers 11V above DRAIN to fully enhance logic-level or standard-threshold N-MOSFETs across the full 3V–42V input range.
Operation includes fault-aware power good (PG) monitoring-asserting low during shutdown, AUX under-regulation, or >17µs fast pull-up activation-and EN/UVLO with 1.21V threshold and 70mV hysteresis for programmable undervoltage lockout. The device withstands –40V on SOURCE/EN/UVLO and supports reverse-current blocking without body-diode conduction during normal operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Forward Regulation Voltage | 20mV - Enables cold-crank operation down to ~3.2V input while maintaining system headroom. |
| Operating Voltage Range | 3V to 42V - Covers full automotive battery range including load dump (up to 42V) and cold crank (down to 3V). |
| Reverse Input Protection | –40V on SOURCE/EN/UVLO - Survives reverse battery connection and isolates load without external TVS dependency. |
| AC Ripple Rectification | 2VP-P up to 100kHz - Meets ISO16750/LV124 ECU ripple requirements without MOSFET overheating. |
| Quiescent Current | 20µA in operation, 3.5µA in shutdown - Minimizes parasitic drain on vehicle battery during sleep mode. |
| AUX Boost Output | 11V above DRAIN - Ensures full gate enhancement of N-MOSFETs even at 3V input (AUX ≥ 14V). |
| Gate Drive Timing | Turn-on delay 1.7µs, turn-off delay 0.6µs - Limits reverse recovery energy and enables high-frequency ripple handling. |
Pinout & Package
LT8672IDDB#TRMPBF uses a 10-lead, 3mm × 2mm plastic DFN package with exposed pad (Pin 11), rated for –40°C to 125°C junction temperature. Thermal resistance θJA = 76°C/W, θJC = 13.5°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 <1.21V; 70mV hysteresis prevents chatter near threshold. |
| GND (2) | No-function ground tie | Must connect to PCB ground plane but carries no internal current; separate from Pin 4. |
| PG (3) | Open-drain power good flag | Pulls low if shutdown active, AUX not regulated, or fast pull-up active >17µs-enables load enable/disable sequencing. |
| GND (4) | Main internal ground reference | Primary ground return for all internal circuitry; tie directly to local GND plane with low-inductance path. |
| NC (5) | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; may be grounded or left floating per layout requirements. |
| AUXSW (6) | Boost regulator switch node | Drives external inductor; requires minimal PCB trace area to reduce EMI and switching losses. |
| AUX (7) | Boost regulator output | Provides gate drive voltage ≥11V above DRAIN; requires 1µF ceramic cap to DRAIN, placed adjacent to IC. |
| DRAIN (8) | Input voltage sense and supply | Senses input rail and powers internal circuitry; bypass with ≥4.7µF capacitor; connect close to MOSFET drain. |
| SOURCE (9) | MOSFET source sensing node | Reference for regulation loop and fast pull-down comparator; must connect close to MOSFET source; max capacitance 60nF. |
| GATE (10) | MOSFET gate driver output | Delivers ±300mA peak drive; regulates VGS to maintain 20mV VSD; connects directly to MOSFET gate. |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the primary function of the LT8672IDDB#TRMPBF in an automotive power system?
The LT8672IDDB#TRMPBF functions as an active rectifier controller that replaces Schottky diodes in reverse battery protection circuits. It drives an external N-channel MOSFET to achieve a 20mV forward voltage drop, enabling operation during cold crank (down to 3.2V) and surviving load dump (up to 42V) and reverse battery (–40V). Its integrated auxiliary boost regulator ensures reliable gate drive across the full input range, and its power good (PG) pin signals MOSFET readiness for safe load engagement. This makes LT8672IDDB#TRMPBF essential for robust, efficient power path management in automotive ECUs.
How does the LT8672IDDB#TRMPBF handle high-frequency input ripple in automotive applications?
The LT8672IDDB#TRMPBF handles high-frequency input ripple using dual-path gate control: a precision 20mV regulation loop for steady-state conduction and fast pull-up/pull-down comparators with 75mV/–60mV thresholds for transient response. This architecture enables rectification of 2VP-P ripple up to 100kHz-meeting ISO16750 and LV124 ECU requirements. Gate turn-on delay is 1.7µs and turn-off delay is 0.6µs, minimizing reverse conduction time and associated power loss. The LT8672IDDB#TRMPBF's ability to rapidly modulate the external MOSFET eliminates the body-diode conduction period typical of passive diodes, significantly reducing heat generation and conducted EMI during ripple events.
What is the role of the AUX and AUXSW pins on the LT8672IDDB#TRMPBF?
The AUX pin is the regulated output of the internal auxiliary boost regulator, delivering 11V above the DRAIN voltage to ensure full gate enhancement of the external N-MOSFET-even at 3V input (AUX ≥ 14V). The AUXSW pin is the switch node of that same boost regulator, driving the external inductor. A 1µF ceramic capacitor must be placed between AUX and DRAIN, adjacent to the IC, to stabilize the boost output. The LT8672IDDB#TRMPBF's integrated boost eliminates the need for external bias supplies or charge pumps, simplifying design and improving reliability in space-constrained automotive modules.
Can the LT8672IDDB#TRMPBF be used without the EN/UVLO pin connected?
Yes-the LT8672IDDB#TRMPBF can operate with EN/UVLO tied directly to DRAIN, which permanently enables the device and disables the shutdown feature. In this configuration, total quiescent current remains at 20µA (not reduced to 3.5µA), and the power good (PG) pin operates normally. If programmable undervoltage lockout is needed, a resistive divider from SOURCE to EN/UVLO sets the turn-on threshold (e.g., 1.21V × (1 + R1/R2)), with 1nF bypass to GND recommended to suppress noise coupling. The LT8672IDDB#TRMPBF's EN/UVLO pin has only 0.1µA leakage, making high-impedance dividers viable without significant error.
What MOSFET parameters are critical when selecting an external FET for the LT8672IDDB#TRMPBF?
Critical MOSFET parameters for LT8672IDDB#TRMPBF include: RDS(ON) ≤ 60mΩ at VGS = 11V (to maintain <20mV drop at target load), BVDSS > 42V (to survive load dump), VGS(TH) < 3V (for reliable turn-on at low input), and Qg as low as possible (to minimize switching losses during ripple rectification). The LT8672IDDB#TRMPBF supports both logic-level and standard-threshold N-MOSFETs; gate drive voltage is regulated to 11V above DRAIN, so VGS(MAX) must exceed this value. Leakage in integrated gate protection must stay below 5µA to avoid offsetting the 20mV regulation loop.
