Product details
Overview
LT8672JMS#PBF from Analog Devices is an AEC-Q100 qualified active rectifier controller for automotive reverse battery protection and fast AC ripple rectification. It drives an external N-channel MOSFET to replace Schottky diodes, delivering 20mV forward drop, 3.5µA shutdown current, and support for 100kHz/2VP-P input ripple - enabling cold-crank operation down to 3V input in 12V automotive systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT8672JMS#PBF datasheet, LT8672JMS#PBF pinout, LT8672JMS#PBF application, or LT8672JMS#PBF equivalent, this page provides verified functional context, validated pin roles, confirmed thermal and transient performance limits, and real-world substitution guidance for reverse-input protection designs requiring –40V fault tolerance and <20µA operating quiescent current.
Technical Context
The LT8672JMS#PBF integrates a hysteretic auxiliary boost regulator (11V AUX–DRAIN regulation) to drive the external MOSFET gate above DRAIN, enabling full enhancement of standard- and logic-level N-channel devices. Its dual-path gate driver delivers ±300mA pull-down/pull-up current with 1.1µs turn-off and 3.1µs turn-on delay (10nF load), supporting ultrafast response to SOURCE–DRAIN transients.
It employs a precision 20mV SOURCE–DRAIN regulation loop augmented by dedicated fast pull-up (75mV threshold) and fast pull-down comparators to rectify high-frequency ripple while limiting body-diode conduction. Reverse input protection operates to –40V on SOURCE/EN/UVLO pins, with internal clamping and PG fault signaling for overvoltage, startup failure, or prolonged FPU activation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Voltage Range | 3V to 42V input; supports cold-crank (3.2V) and load-dump survival without external protection. |
| Forward Regulation Voltage | 20mV typical; reduces power loss >90% vs Schottky diode and eases minimum input voltage headroom. |
| Quiescent Current | 20µA typical in operation; enables always-on automotive modules with minimal battery drain. |
| Shutdown Current | 3.5µA max; allows deep sleep mode during vehicle off-state without disconnecting load path. |
| AC Ripple Handling | Rectifies 2VP-P up to 100kHz; meets ISO16750/LV124 ECU ripple immunity requirements. |
| Reverse Input Rating | –40V on SOURCE and EN/UVLO pins; survives reverse battery connection and negative transients. |
| Temperature Grade | J-grade: –40°C to +150°C junction; qualified for under-hood ECU placement with derated lifetime. |
Pinout & Package
LT8672JMS#PBF uses a 10-lead MSOP package (3mm × 3mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed pad not connected internally. Pin 11 (exposed pad) must be left floating or shorted to GND per DFN variants - but is absent in MSOP; no thermal pad soldering required.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN/UVLO (Pin 1) | Enable/Undervoltage Lockout Input | Shuts down controller and boost regulator below 1.21V; 70mV hysteresis prevents chatter during brownout. |
| GND (Pin 2) | No-function Ground Tie | Unused internal node; connect to PCB ground plane for mechanical stability only. |
| PG (Pin 3) | Open-Drain Power Good Output | Pulls low during shutdown, AUX undervoltage, or >17µs fast pull-up activation - signals MOSFET readiness. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Main Internal Ground Reference | Primary return for all internal circuitry; tie directly to local ground plane with low-inductance path. |
| NC (Pin 5) | No Connect | Internally unconnected; may be left floating or grounded for mechanical reinforcement. |
| AUXSW (Pin 6) | Boost Regulator Switch Node | Drives external inductor; requires compact layout to minimize EMI and switching losses. |
| AUX (Pin 7) | Boost Regulator Output | Provides ~11V above DRAIN to fully enhance external N-MOSFET gate; bypass with 1µF to DRAIN. |
| DRAIN (Pin 8) | Input Voltage Sense & Supply | Senses input rail and powers internal circuitry; must be bypassed with ≥4.7µF ceramic capacitor. |
| SOURCE (Pin 9) | MOSFET Source Return & Sensing | Reference for SOURCE–DRAIN regulation; withstands –40V reverse; no bypass cap >60nF allowed. |
| GATE (Pin 10) | MOSFET Gate Drive Output | Delivers ±300mA peak current; connects directly to MOSFET gate with minimal trace inductance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

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, no integrated boost; requires external gate drive supply; 30mV regulation; 15µA IQ. | Lower integration; suited for space-constrained designs where external bias is already available. | Choose when gate drive voltage is derived from system rail and 30mV drop is acceptable. |
| TPS26631PWPR | Integrated 42V ideal diode with 12V gate drive; fixed 25mV regulation; 12µA IQ; no ripple rectification spec. | Designed for hot-swap and surge protection; lacks fast pull-up/down paths for AC rectification. | Prefer for simple reverse-polarity blocking where 100kHz ripple immunity is not required. |
Compared with LTC4370CMS#PBF and TPS26631PWPR, the LT8672JMS#PBF uniquely combines integrated boost regulation, 20mV precision control, and validated 100kHz ripple rectification - making it the only option for AEC-Q100-compliant automotive ECUs needing cold-crank headroom and ISO16750 ripple immunity in a single chip.

FAQ
What is the maximum AC ripple frequency the LT8672JMS#PBF can rectify, and under what conditions?
The LT8672JMS#PBF rectifies 2VP-P AC ripple up to 100kHz and 6VP-P ripple up to 50kHz, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table (Rev. E). This performance assumes CGATE–SOURCE = 10nF and operation within the –40°C to +150°C junction range. The fast pull-up/pull-down comparators enable this capability without relying on the main 20mV regulation loop.
Does the LT8672JMS#PBF require an external gate driver or boost supply?
No. The LT8672JMS#PBF integrates a hysteretic auxiliary boost regulator that generates ~11V above the DRAIN pin to fully enhance standard- and logic-level N-channel MOSFETs. No external gate driver, charge pump, or bias supply is needed - simplifying layout and reducing BOM count.
How does the LT8672JMS#PBF handle reverse battery connection?
The LT8672JMS#PBF withstands –40V on SOURCE and EN/UVLO pins. When SOURCE goes negative, its internal circuitry pulls GATE to SOURCE, turning off the external MOSFET and isolating DRAIN from the reversed input - providing passive reverse-current blocking without external components.
What is the purpose of the PG pin on the LT8672JMS#PBF, and how is it used?
The PG (Power Good) pin is an open-drain output that goes high-impedance when the external MOSFET is ready to conduct load current. It pulls low during shutdown, AUX undervoltage, or if the fast pull-up path remains active >17µs - enabling system-level fault detection and load enable/disable sequencing in the LT8672JMS#PBF design.
Can the LT8672JMS#PBF operate during automotive cold-crank conditions?
Yes. The LT8672JMS#PBF operates from 3V to 42V and maintains 20mV forward regulation down to 3V input. During cold crank (e.g., 3.2V battery), it sustains low-drop conduction - enabling downstream buck regulators to function without headroom loss, unlike Schottky diodes with ~300mV drop.
