Product details
Overview
LT8672IMS#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 drop, 3V–42V operating range, and 100kHz AC ripple rectification capability in a 10-lead MSOP package. Used in 12V automotive ECUs for cold-crank robustness and load-dump survival.
For engineers reviewing the LT8672IMS#TRPBF datasheet, LT8672IMS#TRPBF pinout, LT8672IMS#TRPBF application, or LT8672IMS#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse input protection to –40V, ultrafast gate turn-on/off times (<3.1µs / <1.1µs), 20µA operating quiescent current, integrated auxiliary boost regulator (11V above DRAIN), and power-good signaling for system-level fault management.
Technical Context
The LT8672IMS#TRPBF implements dual-path gate control: a precision 20mV SOURCE–DRAIN regulation loop for steady-state conduction and independent fast pull-up (75mV threshold) and fast pull-down (–70mV threshold) comparators for transient response up to 100kHz. Its auxiliary boost regulator uses hysteretic switching with 100mA current limit to generate a stable 11V gate drive offset referenced to DRAIN.
Operation includes EN/UVLO shutdown (3.5µA IQ), open-drain PG output indicating AUX regulation readiness and FPU timeout, and full –40V reverse voltage tolerance on SOURCE/EN pins. The IC supports logic-level and standard-threshold N-MOSFETs and requires no bypass capacitor at SOURCE-capacitance >60nF risks instability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Forward Regulation Voltage | 20mV typical - enables cold-crank operation down to ~3.2V input without buck-boost conversion |
| Operating Input Range | 3V to 42V - covers full automotive battery range including load dump (42V) and cold crank (3.2V) |
| Reverse Input Rating | –40V on SOURCE/EN - withstands reverse battery connection without damage or latch-up |
| Quiescent Current | 20µA typical in operation - minimizes parasitic drain on vehicle battery during sleep mode |
| Shutdown Current | 3.5µA maximum - meets automotive low-power requirements for extended parking |
| AC Ripple Handling | Rectifies 2VP-P up to 100kHz - satisfies ISO16750-2 and LV124 ECU ripple immunity specs |
| Gate Drive Capability | 300mA pull-down / 50mA pull-up - ensures sub-microsecond MOSFET switching for low body-diode conduction |
Pinout & Package
LT8672IMS#TRPBF is housed in a 10-lead plastic MSOP package (3mm × 3mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad not connected internally. Pin 11 (exposed pad) is absent in MSOP; only DFN variants include it.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN/UVLO (Pin 1) | Enable and undervoltage lockout input | Shuts down entire IC below 1.21V threshold; tied to DRAIN if unused - enables programmable UVLO via resistor divider |
| GND (Pin 2) | No-function ground | Must be connected to PCB ground but carries no internal current - distinct from Pin 4 (power ground) |
| PG (Pin 3) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Pulls low during startup until AUX reaches regulation, during shutdown, or if fast pull-up remains active >17µs - used for load enable/disable sequencing |
| GND (Pin 4) | Primary power ground | Return path for all internal circuitry - must tie directly to local GND plane with low-inductance connection |
| NC (Pin 5) | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected - may be left floating or grounded per layout convenience |
| AUXSW (Pin 6) | Auxiliary boost regulator switch node | Drives external boost inductor to DRAIN - requires minimal PCB trace area to reduce EMI and ringing |
| AUX (Pin 7) | Auxiliary boost output | Provides 11V regulated gate drive offset above DRAIN - requires 1µF ceramic capacitor to DRAIN, placed adjacent to IC |
| DRAIN (Pin 8) | Input voltage sense and supply rail | Senses input voltage for regulation and powers internal circuitry - must be bypassed with ≥4.7µF low-ESR capacitor |
| SOURCE (Pin 9) | MOSFET source reference and return | Sense node for SOURCE–DRAIN regulation and fast pull-down comparator - connects directly to MOSFET source; capacitance ≤60nF required |
| GATE (Pin 10) | MOSFET gate driver output | Drives external N-MOSFET gate with ±300mA peak current - connects directly to MOSFET gate with short, low-inductance trace |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 qualification | Qualified for automotive Grade I (–40°C to +125°C junction), enabling use in engine bay and ECU applications |
| Integrated auxiliary boost regulator | Generates stable 11V gate drive offset referenced to DRAIN - eliminates need for external charge pump or bias supply |
| Ultrafast transient response | 1.7µs gate turn-on / 0.6µs gate turn-off delays - reduces MOSFET body-diode conduction time during ripple events |
| Reverse input protection | Withstands –40V on SOURCE/EN pins - protects against reverse battery connection without external TVS clamping |
| Power Good (PG) monitoring | Open-drain flag signals AUX regulation status and FPU timeout - enables safe load enable sequencing and fault isolation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar active rectifier controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM74700QDDARQ1 | Lower 2.5V min input; 15mV regulation; no integrated boost - requires external gate drive supply | Better suited for ultra-low-voltage systems (e.g., 5V rail); lacks 100kHz ripple capability | Select LM74700QDDARQ1 when input stays >2.5V and external 5V/3.3V bias is available; avoid for 12V automotive cold-crank. |
| TPS26631PWPR | Integrated 42V N-FET; fixed 35mV drop; no ripple rectification support; 1.2ms turn-on delay | Single-chip solution for basic reverse protection; insufficient for ISO16750 ripple compliance | Choose TPS26631PWPR for space-constrained designs needing simplicity over performance; not suitable for ECU-grade ripple handling. |
Compared with LM74700QDDARQ1 and TPS26631PWPR, the LT8672IMS#TRPBF uniquely combines integrated auxiliary boost, 20mV regulation, –40V reverse rating, and 100kHz ripple rectification - making it the only option qualified for demanding automotive ECU input stages requiring both cold-crank headroom and high-frequency immunity.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LT8672IMS#TRPBF to start up and regulate?
The LT8672IMS#TRPBF requires a minimum DRAIN voltage of 2.85V to initiate startup. Once enabled, it operates continuously from 3V to 42V. Internal supply voltages stabilize within ~7ms after DRAIN exceeds 2.85V, after which the auxiliary boost regulator begins charging AUX and the PG pin asserts high impedance when regulation is achieved.
Does LT8672IMS#TRPBF require an external capacitor on the SOURCE pin?
No, the LT8672IMS#TRPBF does not require a bypass capacitor on the SOURCE pin. In fact, total capacitance connected to SOURCE must not exceed 60nF - exceeding this value risks gate driver instability. Any EMI filter capacitor placed at SOURCE for other reasons must be strictly limited to ≤60nF.
How does LT8672IMS#TRPBF handle reverse battery conditions?
The LT8672IMS#TRPBF withstands –40V on SOURCE and EN/UVLO pins without damage. When SOURCE goes negative, its internal circuitry pulls GATE to SOURCE, turning off the external MOSFET and isolating DRAIN from the reverse input. This provides true reverse polarity protection without external TVS diodes in many cases.
Can LT8672IMS#TRPBF drive logic-level MOSFETs?
Yes, the LT8672IMS#TRPBF is compatible with both standard-threshold and logic-level N-channel MOSFETs across its full 3V–42V input range. For logic-level devices, VGS(MAX) should be ≥±15V to accommodate the 11V gate drive offset provided by the integrated auxiliary boost regulator.
What is the function of the PG pin on LT8672IMS#TRPBF?
The PG (Power Good) pin on LT8672IMS#TRPBF is an open-drain output that goes high-impedance only when the auxiliary boost regulator has reached regulation, the device is not in shutdown, and the fast pull-up path has been inactive for ≤17µs. It signals that the external MOSFET is ready to safely carry load current and is commonly used to enable downstream circuitry.
